THE MICHIGAN DAILY I4r £ti cnPan ttry, In Re: Lew Ayres I am gratified by the vigorous response to my editorial of last Sunday; but I am equally as- tounded at the various interpretations. Perhaps adolescent, journalists should not play with so dangerous a weapon as irony. Or perhaps I was too confident that my previous editorials on conscientious objectors had been read. In either event, I wish to state concisely and clearly my opinions on the matter. I do not think Lew Ayres is a non-patriot. Nor do I think Burton K. Wheeler, black-clad mothers, Henry Ford or Charles A. Lindbergh are necessarily non-patriots. Nor do I espe- cially admire the patriotism of Nicholas Schenck of MGM, and these hot-air jingoists who do their bit for the war effort by avoiding the films of Lew Ayres.- I think the recent treatment of Ayres by the press is as sad a commentary on American ' intelligence as wasting public money on the nightmares of Martin Dies. Well, there it is.' Now we have a sound basis for disagreement. -- Emile Gele Edited and managed by students of the University of Michigan under the authority of the Board in Control of Student Publications.

Laval's Return Verifies Vichy Submission . . IF there was any doubt about the disastrous policy of our State De- partment in its friendly tete a tete with the traitorous Vichy government, yesterday's events should have dispelled that doubt once and for all. Pierre Laval, outstanding French advocate of collaboration with Germany. was made vice- premier of Vichy France as a result of terrific pressure from Germany. Having regained power after 16 months of political dormancy, Laval will obviously be virtual co-dictator with Marshal Petain. THE VICHY GOVERNMENT has shown it- self finally and conclusively to be on the side of our enemy. Laval is admittedly a pro- Fascist and we can expect Vichy France to be nothing but a province of Germany-even more unambiguously than it has been until now. The words "cooperation" and "collab- oration" are now meaningless. Vichy is a full- fledged slave of the Axis powers Even the State Department could not ignore yesterday's climactic move; reports from Wash- ington have it that Sumner Welles is expected to ask a full explantion of Ambassador Gas- ton Henry-Haye. And the report of Laval's re- turn to power followed by only a- few hours a denunciation by Welles of Laval and his sup- porters. After all these months of sending ma- terials to French colonies in Africa despite clear and undeniable indications that these very ma- terials were falling into the hands of our enemy to be used against us, it is mildly gratifying to know that our tactful diplomats in Washington are at least going to "ask for an explanation" of this latest action. But this is war. It is no time for merely seek- ing explanations. We are now in the painful process of straining all our resources for the carrying on of a tremendous conflict, the full burden of which we cannot even foresee at this time. This is a total, all-consuming struggle, and we are signing our own death warrant by aiding our foe in any way whatsoever. OUR STATE DEPARTMENT has aided our enemies too long already. Its response to Laval's return to power must be clear-cut and decisive. The only possible answer is a com- plete breaking off of relations with the Vichy government. If we do not do this, we are playing right into the hands of Germany. Nothing would please the Nazis more than to see our State Department untinue its pol- icy of pussyfooting along the path of fearful uncertainty in its relations with Vichy. Noth- ing would be so invigorating to the morale of the German people and their allies. Hitler's much repeated claims that the democracies are weak and ineffective would thus find re- markable confirmation in the eyes of his peo- ple. Perhaps even more imperative is the necessity for immediately stopping all shipments to North Africa. With Pierre Laval in the saddle of a German-dominated France, it would be a naive person indeed who believed that shipments to Africa will not be used in the long ru tagainst the Allies. The weak policy of our government toward B ELIEVERS in a strong Pan-Ameri- can movement have long bemoaned the fact that no real leadership for such a move- ment ever came from outside the United States. It has been-and still is in many quarters- taken for granted that every move for hemi- spheric unity was sponsored by the United States in the interests of the United States. No longer is that true. In the last three months twb Mexicans have done more for the cause of democracy and unity in the Americas than Nel- son Rockefeller and the State Department com- bined. VICENTE LOMBARDO TOLEDANO, who has emerged as the most powerful labor leader in Latin America and is, in fact, President of the Confederation of Latin American Workers, has embarked on a mission which if successful will make previous attempts to line up South Ameri- ca and its peoples for hemispheric defense look sad. Toledano has an aggressive and brilliant rec- ord as the Marxist leader of Mexico's left-wing CTM, an organization comparable to the CIO, and many diplomats consider him the most po- tent single force in Latin American industry. His voluntary, greatly necessary mission to South America's workers may result in a hemi- spheric victory effort, one not brought about by the United States, but established through the foresight and courage of a citizen of Mexico. TOLEDANO'S WORK, important as it is, was made possible only through the efforts of another Mexican, smooth Ezequiel Padilla, whose impassioned pleas for a free America saved the Pan-American Conference from an Argentine- fostered rupture. At last there is some hope of a real and final agreement of the Americas. When men like Toledano and Padilla join Welles and Hull in its advocacy, what once seemed a diplomatic impos- sibility may now become a political reality. Their actions may result in Padilla's "Magna Charta of a united America." -hale Champion United China Relief Deserves Support ... THE second annual United China Re- lief campaign, which opened on campus Monday, has, because of America's entry into the war, an entirely different keynote from similar campaigns of former years. Whereas in the past it was "China needs America's help,' in 1942 it has become "China needs us and we need China." For, while the armies of Chiang Kai-shek fight on, the more men, guns, planes and tanks the Jap must pour into China to protect his holdings, the fewer, men and weapons he can deploy against us. The program of the United China Relief in providing aid to the millions who have lost eve'ything but their honor helps to maintain the Chinese armies on the fighting fronts and hastens the day of the eventual Allied offensive. E IN AMERICA are accustomned to express- ing our friendship for China through our support of charitable organizations. But is this manner of friendship a one-sided proposition? On the contrary, it is entirely mutual, though the fact is little known. Back in 1918 China was asked to raise $100,000 for the United States War Work Fund; but China gave instead $1,425,- 000-over 14 times her quota. Again, in 1937, after the Ohio and Mississippi floods, the people of China voluntarily raised more money for the relief of our flood victims than any other coun- try except Canada. Thus, as China struggles for t he fourth year to protect the good earth against tyranny in the face of grin privation, United China Reiel he- comes both a gesture of mutual friendship and an act vital to the defense of America, - Clayton Dickey LGTTGRS TO T HE EDITORI To the Editor: Now that tll Sig: aie lip on l (cmpus grounds, I believe pit up by Alpha Phi Omega, we know that spring is here.

As yet the date of publication is uncertain, but a publisher has been located. The book will be published by a local concern, Tom Thumb Spicy Publications, Inc., publishers of Gruesome Comics, Horrible Comics, Sudden Death Comics and Ghoulish Funnies. The illustrations and title page will be by the author. Because I realize that the groat public is anxious to read this monumental work and has no patience with the details of printing delays, I feel it only my duty to print in this column from time to time excerpts from this great American work. Although the continuity will be partially lost, the value to American letters as a new trend in writing will be a permanent contribution to our civilization. Because most of you dopes start a novel by looking at the ending, I shall start the series of excerpts from "They Also Serve Who Only" with the concluding chapter. " CHAPTER XXXVII The deep, dank, dark blackness of the night was scarcely visible through the webbing of bare branches that formed a lacy frame for the deep, dank, dark blackness of the night. Lucy glabbed his hand. "Oh, Wilberforce, I'm so proud! I'm so proud of you," Wilberforce grabbed her hand. "Oh, Lucy, it was but my duty." Lucy grabbed his hand. "Oh, Wilberforce, to think that your blackberry preserves won the award at the county fair!" Lucy looked down toward her deep, dank, dark feet. She could scarcely make out the deep, dank, dark figure of Wilberforce. She kneeled at his side. "Oh, Wilberforce, Wilberforce!" her scream chopped a rectangular hole in the night. "Wil- berforce, are you all right?" She felt his fore- head. It was cold, deep, dark and dank. Wilber- force was dead. Lucy reached into his pocket and removed his wallet. "23, 24, 25, 26 cents," she counted. She tied it tightly into her handkerchief anc heaved a deep, dark, dank sigh. She gazed into the deep, dank, dark distance. "Oh, well," she sighed. slinging her pick over her shoulder, "there's always tomorrow." The first glint of purple dawn shone over the deep, dank, dark horizon.

A venieious f10o(d of Axis proaandla is daily going through the mails. It is no secret. Walker knows all about iR. For weeks he has been bombarded with complaints fron outraged citi- zens demanding that this subversive activity be stopped. The Postal Inspection Service knows all about it. The oldest and one of the most efficient sleuthing agencies in the government, the In- spection Service, is itching to move in.

During the World War not only were such publications barred from the mails but the Post Office Department obtained the willink coopera- tion of express companies to refuse to carry any matter banned by the Department. Walker is one of the most genial officials in Washington. But he is not noted for either ini- tiative or forcefulness. He never does anything that might disturb the peace of his easy-going daily routine of running a government depart- ment that runs itself.
