Will arlan Appointment
l i d To Allies' Cause?
LAST WEEK as the United States and Great
-Britain began to swing into the long-awaited
offensive that will bring final victory to the
United Nations, they committed a grave stra-
tegical and probably costly blunder. Admiral
Jean Francois Darlan, French Fascist, British-
hating and arch collaborationist, was put at the
head of the military and civil government of
French North Africa.
Perhaps it is too early to condemn this action
without complete knowledge of the political and
military situation in French Africa, but Admiral
Oarlan's record is clear and unmistakable. It
seems hardly days ago that he was denouncing
our British allies and attempting to swing
French support to- the Axis. While the Nazis
were setting the stage for the return of their
favorite, Pierre Laval to power, he acted as vice-
premier of the Vichy government and even with
the resurgence of Laval managed to remain as
commander-in-chief of all the French armed
forces.
In February of 1941 it was Darlan who sur-
rendered the thousands of political refugees
who had sought a haven in France to the
lungry Gestapo. It was he who handed ndo-
China over to the Japanese that they might
have a more secure springboard for the of-
fensive against the democracies.
WHEN the Allies struck at the French posses-
sions on the southern shore of the Medi-
terranean, Darlan, by one of those queer strokes
of fate that often disrupt world politics, hap-
pened to be there inspecting defense for his
Vichy chieftain, Marshal Petain. Opportunist to
the last, he saw which way the wind was blow-
ing and offered his services to the victorious
Americans.
In full knowledge of his past performances and
with no guarantee of his integrity now he was
accepted a chief French administrator for the
colonies. To Darlan this must have indeed been
a great triumph. To the military cause of the
United Nations and to the goal of a better world
for which we are fighting it may prove a tragic
mistake.
Admiral Darlan is representative of the
Fascist defeatists who sabotaged the French
war effort in 1939-40, of the Prussian military
caste that has dominated Germany since 170
aid continually sought world conquest, of the
old-school tie that has blocked social reforms
in England, and generally of the reactionaries
anywhere in the world. Acceptance of him
by the Allies is a severe blow to those who are
working for a new and happier world order.
To the Fighting French forces of General
Charles DeGaullg it must be the height of dis-
illusionment to see one of the avowed opponents
of democracy welcomed with open arms while
he, who had exalted his men to die in the de-
fense of Egypt and on the other far-flung battle-
fronts of this war, had so long sought in vain for
recognition from this country.
CAN IT ALSO BE that the leaders who decided
upon Darlan's new role forgot about the aver-
age Frenchmen and his fellow men in all the
occupied countries who have borne the brunt of
the Nazi terror for two and a half years? It is
these same people who have heard the propa-
ganda broadcasts, read the leaflets dropped from
the skies and listened to the leaders of the
Urnited Nations denounce the Quislings, of whom
Darlan is one, as traitors to their countries. Will
this inspire them to revolt against their over-
lords?
GET TOUGH:
Coeds Should Welcome
New Hardening Plan
IN THE PAST TWO DAYS a proposal has come
before the women of Michigan which they
must, if they are going to be logical about the
matter, accept. They would accept it, moreover,
not grudgingly but enthusiastically, recognizing
it to be a step that they should have taken long
ago if they are truly anxious to do their part in
the war effort. The question is that of a volun-
tary physical conditioning program.
The actual facts are simple enough. Michi-
gan women are not 1-A in the civilian army. A
very large percentage of them are not fit to
give much-needed blood to the Red Cross.
They tire easily at any jobs requiring. physical.
labor. And they will not have sufficient =phys-
ical strength to handle the war jobs that will
be required of them when they leave school.
They outdo each other in circles under the
eyes. They're weak; they're flabby; they're
worse than Michigan men were - before PEM.
Furthermore, the women's physical education
program is geared to provide regular training
only for freshmen and a limited :umber of up-
perclassmen. Most women complete their phys-
ical education requirements and never again see
the inside of the WAB.
The proposed program provides for a few
minutes supervised exercise daily right in the.
women's residences. There would be no incon-
venience of time or place, no hiking to the
gyms in cold weather. The result would be
simple too. The general physical condition of
the coeds would improve, and their general
appearance with it. The alternative, perhaps,
is a comp'ilsory PEW. The choice is easy to
make. - Netta Siegel

P'd Rather
Be Right
B~ySAMUEL GRAFTON
NEW YORK-We are going to have to learn
to talk a new language, so we may as well take
the plunge now.
I am afraid we are going to have to say the
production program is a big success. That's a
shocker, I know. But it's not so hard, really. If,
each morning, before breakfast, you say five
times: "We're producing the goods. We're pro-
ducing the goods. We're producing . you
will get used to it in time. Soon the phrase will
drop as trippingly from the tongue as the old
line: "All is muddle and confusion in Wash-
ington."
T ERE IS a time lag in these things, and some
Americans were caught with their mouths
open, saying "All is mud--" as the boys walked
into North Africa. The mud was in the speaker's
Seye.
We are going to produce more military
goods alone next year than we produced goods
of all kinds in our best peacetime year, 1929.
t I see no way of avoiding the fact that we are
doing this with Mr. Roosevelt as President. I
know it seems incredibe; it has been proved
elaborately that a friend of labor cannot make
labor work, that, for some obscure reason, only
an opponent of labor's aims can make labor
really hump itself. olut there are the figures,
friends, and we had better face them.
We have to face the extraordinary possibility
that President Roosevelt's approach to labor is
more practical than Westbrook Pegler's.
The success of the African campaign tells us
a number of truths about liberal goVernment,
which we owe it to our consciences to examine.
I notice a certain amount of glee in several
sections of the press to the effect that "liberals"
who hated our policy toward Viohy, etc., have
been proved wrong by events. Well, the business
of proving things by events is a risky business;
it can gently turn a man over and stand him on
his head.
R. ARTHUR KROCK, of the Times, for ex-
ample. is delighted that the African cam-
paign seems to justify Secretary of State Hull.
I seem to remember that Mr. Krock was in
favor (or at least took a great deal of pleas-
ure in raising the issue) of bringing General
MacArthur back home to direct the war effort.
And on Nov. 6, one day before Africa, Mr.
Krock, discussing the executive branch, said
firmly: "'Administration as usual' will prove
to be a disastrous policy." Well, now. If Mr.
Hull, who is only a small part of this AninL-
istration, has been justified by events, what
about the whole, big Administration that sur-
rounds him?
I say, without fear of successful contradic-
tion, that Mr. Roosevelt had as much to do
with the African campaign as Mr. Hull.
Maybe we "liberals" don't do so badly when
you begin on the hazardous business of justifying
policies by events.
Maybe something of what we said has to be
wiped out, but I will wager that for every line
we would want to strike from the record, Mr.
Krock will have to remove ten, and some others
I could name, ten thousand.
We are going to have to learn a new lan-
guage, but I assume that the basic tie ihich
holds our community together is respect for
facts. I assert that a man named Franklin 6.
Iloosevelt is President of the United States

notify all ticket agents that the tick-

sitates the invalidating of the first

large proportion of cases where, in
the past, time and a ticket form
have been wasted by not specifying
in the first place that the ticket
wanted is "to be tax exempt.

HE-PEN wishes the best of luck (for a change)
to Joan Reutter, last year's "Miss Michigan
of Song" on the Hour of Charm show, and Dave
Eldredge, who were married yesterday up at the
Sorosis house.
Prof. R. L. Morrison passes on some good news
about Prof. Roy Swinton and family who are
interned in the Japs' Santo Tomas prison camp
in Manila. Jenifer White, an AP correspondent
who has been released from Santo Tomas in an
exchange, writes that the Swintons are well.
She got to know Mrs. Swinton quite well and re-
ports that the professor was teaching a course
for adults in engineering mechanics. The best
check was that none of the Swintons (including
daughter Barbara) ever showed up for treat-
ment in the hospital where Miss White worked.
It seems that our Detroit circulation is going
up. The Free Press has finally started a "Serv-
ice Edition," but they were slow, the News
copied it from us nearly a month ago.
Memo to Phi Betes: Our barber tells us that
New York's governor-elect, Tom Dewey, flunked
out of Michigan, which reminds us that Supreme
Court Justice Frank Murphy had one merry
fight to get his diploma here.
pRACTICALLY everybody I know in
the army has a common com-
plaint. Nobody seems to care about
after the war. To quote from several:
"They're a bunch of fine kids and,
they really want to smack the Japs;
but nobody is interested in what
happens after the war, or expects
anything good."
Or another letter; from someone a
little more sour:.
"Everybody here mumbles about
how to get the Japs, in the same
way Vittorio Mussolini thrilled at.
bombing Ethiopians, but nobody
cares about this war, and if they
did, it would be so their fathers
could get nice pay-checks."
And worst of all:
"I know you feel bad about the
election but maybe after the war
when we can't get jobs, we won't
give up our guns, and that'll be the
end of Ham Pish."-
There's a difference in the letters.
But we can see several things. First,
we pknow that killingk is degrading,
especially the kind of killing that we
that when people come back from a
war there is chaos.
Friom everything we know, nobody.
cares about what we're fighting for.
Except in very simple terms, they,
want a job, they want a home, and if
somebody tries to stop them, and they
can't do anything about it one way,
they'll use another.
But I heard something else. A col-
lege student from a southern uni-
versity got into Army personnel. In
a month he organized a series of lec-
tures, and a general forum. Atten-
dance was completely satisfactory.
And the kids in the army knew what
they were fighting for in ideal terms
and what to do about it after the war.
Why not the same thing all over
the country? U. of M. professors
have already done some work along
this line. But why not a concerted
effort from this University? What-
ever influence our military authori-
ties have could possibly get three
compulsory hours a week at Custer
devoted to something really worth
three hours a week. Professors have
done good work going into Detroit
