India's Refusal Is
Severe Allied Loss. . .
RANKING IN IMPORTANCE with the
defeats in France, Singapore, Java
and the Philippines is the Allied setback in India.
The United Nations have lost the effective and
willing cooperation of a nation of 390,000,000
people that controls resources and a potential
industrial strength which would be invaluable i
any Allied offensive.
Indecision over the division of control of India's
defense between the British and an Indian au-
thority is blamed for the breakdown in negotia-
tions. The All-India Congress Committee, how-
ever, goes further and claims that the British
proposals were of such a nature that "real free-
dom might become an illusion."
ADMITTEDLY, the forces of democracy were
once again too late. Several years ago Nehru,
the Indian nationalist leader, warned that any
war-necessitated British offer of dominion status
would not, be accepted. Had democracy been
realized earlier in India the present crisis might
have been avoided.
But part of the responsibility for the failure of
Sir Stafford Cripps' mission rests with the In-
dians themselves. They were offered what they
had long demanded-a guarantee of independ-
ence in the form of dominion status in the Brit-
ish commonwealth of nations. That this promise
came in the face of the rising threat of the
Japanese hordes was immaterial. It was, never-
theless, the long-awaited recognition of India's
rights to self-government.
Certainly India must realize the full conse-
quences of a. Japanese conquest. With the Brit-
ish naval defeats in the Bay of Bengal the
menace of that conquest becomes astonishingly
more real. The only thing that stands in its
way are the British armies in India and the will
to resist of the native Indians themselves. Na-
tionalist leaders have repeatedly called upon the
people for a total resistance to any Japanese
attack. Some of them have mistakenly implied
that a policy of passive resistance will be enough
to assure the failure of such an attack. Here
lies their tragic error. Only a tremendous Allied
effort supported wholeheartedly by every seg-
ment of India's population will repel the Nippon-
ese invasion attempt if it comes.
COMPROMISE ALONE could have assured the
success of the recent negotiations in New
Delhi. In the words of Sir stafford Cripps him-
self: "Compromise there must be, if a strong and
free India is to come into being." Great Britain's
intent to compromise was limited only to the
extent of her wish to retain direction of actual
military operations under her own officers and
to obtain priorities on supplies and arms for the
Imperial army. India sought priorities for the
native militia, and an Indian defense minister.
The British conceded the defense minister but
insisted on retenton of major powers by Gen-
eral Wavell. The final break came over this
issue and the priorities for supplies. The case of
Great Britain is clear. Control of military meas-
ures by a copetent commander was an as-
lute necessity. India should have been agreeable
to receiving moderate control through a defense
minister who handled enlistments and civilian
protection plans.
To the Editor:
T0 ANSWER numerous inquiries regarding the
success of the Bomber-Scholarship Plan and
for the purpose of clarifying various issues con-
cerning its purpose, procedure and progress, I
herewith present the record of the campaign
since its formal inauguration March 12, 1942
Purpose:The purpose of the Bomber-Scholar-
ship Plan is to provide a means whereby students
who remain on campus can sacrifice as do those
who are leaving for the war. It is to mobilize the
social activities of both individuals and organiza-
tions as a source of contributions to a scholar-
ship fund to be used after the war for the "edu-
cational rehabilitation" of the dozens and per-
haps hundreds of undergraduate students in
every school and college of the University Whq
enter the armed services of the United States
The tremendous need for such a scholarship
fund is perfectly obvious. The peculiarity of the
situation enables us to use the contributions for
two purposes. We can buy a bomber with them
now by buying defense bonds. We can turn the
bonds in after the war and provide scholarships.
The plan, therefore, calls for the purchase of
$100,000 worth of defense bonds-the goal of
this campaign, and the cost of a lightweight
army bomber-and the conversion of these bonds
into scholarships after the war.
Procedure: Copies of the plan (each six mim-
eographed pages) were sent to 196 student or-
ganizgtions. Each organization was asked to
consider the plan at its next meeting, record its
action on a postcard to be sent to tl Dean of
Students, Rm. 2, University Hall. The Dean was
also made official recipient of all contributions,
Those who consent to support the plan are to
contribute on a voluntary basis whatever amount
they think is equitable and just.
Progress: Reaction to the plan has been all
the way from ultra-enthusiastic support to re-
jection. Immediately following the adoption of
the plan, the J-Hop committee voted to con-
tribute 75% of the profits from the J-Hop to
the fund. This amounted to approximately
$1,950. The Soph Prom committee gave all of
its, profits-$85. The Michigan Union con-
tributed $1,000. To date forty-four other or-
ganizations have registered their support with
the Dean of Students. Each either contributed
or made it a policy to do so. Total contributions
amount to $3,450.
These organizations and individuals are to be
commended for their decisions-for their realiza-
tion that they too have a part to play in this war.
The Student War Board has approved the
Bomber-Scholarship Plan as a war project for
each organization that registers its support with
the Dean of Students. Perhaps I am impatient,
but where are the answers from the other 152
organizations? Why hasn't the plan received
unqualified and unanimous support? Doubtless,
some of these organizations have voted to sup-
al,

(Editor's Note: The following is another
article in the series on the crucial U. S.
shipping situation.)
WASHINGTON-One of the chief criticisms
insiders make against the Maritime Com-
mission is its resistance to independent initiative
and ideas. The Truman Committee has a big
stack of complaints from enterprising business
men eager to risk their own money to build
ships but unable to get a break from the Com-
mission.
A graphic illustration of the hide-bound atti-
tude permeating the Commission is the case of
the West Stanislaus County, Calif., bean growers.,
Military and civilian war chiefs consider it
vital that every one on the home front be made
to feel that lie is playing a direct and personal
part in the war effort. Every war agency spends
much time and effort devising ways of stimulat-
ing this spirit of patriotic participation.
Without any spurring from Washington, the
patriotic bean growers of West Stanislaus County
figured out a plan to make a personal contribu-
tion to the War production program. So they
wrote a letter to the Maritime Commission
saying:
"You need scrap steel for ships and we farmers
need an outlet for an overwhelming desire to
help our country. We don't want to sell our
scrap to junk dealers. We don't want anyone to
make any money on it. We want to give it to tIC
government, We are realy to make a country-
wide drive to collect every available pound of
scrap. We can promise to collect enough scrap
to build a ship and we will deliver it to a mill
and the mill can mail a check--earmarked as a
contribution for more ships-to the U. S.
Treasury.
"We're cooperating in the 'Food for Victory
Program,' we're organized on Civilian Defense,
but what we really want to do is to get in on
the offense."
The response to this stirrinlg patriotic otfer
was a polite bucket of cold water.
In a letter to the farmers, hear Admiral How-
ard L. Vickery, vice chairman of the Maritime
Commission, gave a number of picayune reasons
why the scrap offer could not be accepted. There
wasn't one of these minor objections that
port the plan but have neglected to notify the
dean. For the others, I have no rationalizations
to offer. It is only logical to conclude that
apathy has not yet been defeated in these cases.
SOME STUDENTS are reluctant to accept re-
sponsibility-to sacrifice for things they have
never gone without. Some will never compre-
hend what democracy means until it is torn
from their daily lives. With many it is just a
matter of time to gain an understanding. Others
don't know how to sacrifice (An excellent way is
to show your appreciation to students in the
trenches by staying home from the movie to-
night and giving the 40c to the Bomber-Scholar-
ship Fund so they can pay their lab fees in 1945
or whenever they come back.) Some object on
the grounds that they or members of their or-
gaiizations won't get' the scholarships. All this
is indicative of the hangover from peacetime
rugged individualism that has contaminated the
American conscience and shattered the reality of
a common fight for a common ideal.
Even today as we slovenly walk from one bor-
ing class to another, our friends and defenders
are marching to the beat of drums toward the
"rising sun"-thinking of their mission, not of
their return. Some of them will not come back.
STo the spirit in which they will have fought and
died, we owe and want to give our humble devo-
tion. But to those who return we owe tangible
things. All of us who have bad eyes-too bad
to see the Japs but OK for the movies-poor
teeth, flat feet, or some other minor defect that
keeps us from the army but not from the dances;
all of us who write our thankful parents that the
draft board has given us another deferment be-
cause we happen to be in the type of work that
war encourages rather than interrupts; all of
us who are exempt from the conscription act
because of age or sex, WE NEED TO GIVE.
DEMOBILIZATION DAY will be a day of reck-
oning for those of us who refuse to awaken
to the need of sacrifice. How will we feel when
we meet them coming back? Some of them will
not be able to stand erect Some will be in
wheelchairs, on crutches, crippled, blind, shell-
shocked, hysterical wrecks of human bondage.
How will we feel when they tell us the bombers
didn't come, the ammunition failed to arrive,
they were trapped without provisions? How are
we going to feel when they ask us what WE have
done?
If we have done our part, we will feel like
Americans. If we haven't, we will do our sacri-
ficing then in the form of torture from our own
consciences.
We need to give until we feel some smallj
measure of that sacrifice that is tearing flesh
from bones over there. Those of us who only
stand and wait are not serving.

"1HEY CALL IT the Hopwood fever. In the old
days you did not meet up with it in quite so
violent a form. People went home for spring
vacation with their typewriters, and had it, and
when they came back all the people they knew
who did not write thought they must have had
a hell of a time because they looked so tired.
But this year, if nothing else has been accom-
plished worthy of note in the field of belles
lettres, the brutal fact of writing has been
brought home with a bang to Ann Arbor. For
this year, the writers stayed in town. In addi-
tion to the usual bull market on Swan Linen,
the typists' Saturnalia. there was the strongly
felt presence of the artist at work. People have
observed, thank the good Lord, and that should
excuse me from a bit of work which comes hard
today. In short I am too punch diunk right
now to hit a typewriter any longer, and I turn
over a paragraph apiece to several of my more
charitable colleagues. Mr. Emile Geld will speak
first.
T 1S ALI OVER. NOW, andth cre is really little
more to say except possibly about the judges.
In the little red pamphlet there is a list of te
past temporary and pesent permanent board
of judges; and they are just the sort of men I
would have selected myself. All have sound
scholastic backgrounds; all are known for their
literary taste; and all have that tolerance for
the neophyte that is so necessary in the Hop-
woods. Win or lose, I'm all for the judges-now.

prized manuscripts in the contests. Since my
freshman year when I flunked ,English I and
Geology II, I have not been eligible. A D or an

NOT entering the Hopwoods. Any compensation

To Students Graduating at Com-
mencement, May 30, 1942: The bur-
den of mailing diplomas to members
of the graduating class who do not
personally call for their diplomas
has grown until in 1940 it cost the
University over $400 to perform this
service. The rule has been laid down,
as a result, that diplomas not called
for at the Sports Building immediate-
ly after the Commencement Exercis-
es or at the University Business Of-
fice within three business days after
Commencement will be mailed C.O.D.
The mailing cost will be approximate-
ly 30c for the larger sized rolled
diplomas and 45c for the book form.
Will each graduate, therefore, be
certain that the Diploma Clerk has
his correct mailing address to insure
delivery by mail. The U. S. Mail
Service will, of course, return all
diplomas which cannot -be delivered.
Because of adverse conditions abroad,
foreign students should leave ad-
dresses in the United States, if pos-
sible, to which diplomas may be'
mailed.
It is preferred that ALL diplomas
be personally called for.
