REGISTER TODAY:
Blood Bank Drive May
Not Fill 200.-Pint Quota
DESPITE its importance, there is danger that
the present Blood Bank drive Will not fill
its quota.
Two hundred pints of blood can save the
r lives of 200 men. The lack of this blood can
kill them as surely as an enemy bullet.
Although the University has unhesitatingly
pledged 20 pints, we must face the fact that
only 135 students have registered so far to be
ready for the Red Cross Tuesday.
Today is your last chance to register. Are
you gbing to ignore the call of American fight-
ing men? - Stan Wallace
FARM BLOC:
'Redefined Parity' Will
Pave Way For inflation
THE Congressional farm bloc is working over-
time again in an attempt to redefine farm
parity to include labor costs, despite the "unal-
terable opposition" of the President and the
objections of Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son.
The Farm Parity Price sill passed by the
House the day before yesterday would raise
parity levels by 10 or 12 per cent, and would
result in a substantial increase in the cst
of living. A similar bill isbeingpushed in the
Senate.
The redefined parity would probably crack
present retail price ceilings, and price control
simply wouldn't work. The farm bloc argument
is that laborcosts have gone up, and that the
farmer is now facing a labor shortage that may
result in a food shortage."
GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES, or a labor draft,
may(have to be used to keep workers on the
farms, but letting the farm bloc push through
its "redefined parity" will pave the way for an
inflation that will make both fighting the war
and post-war reconstruction much more difficult.

AND QUIETLY:
Union A dvertisements
Encourage War EfforT
IN the midst of glaring headlines announcing
Allied victories, of motion picture stars sell-
ing millions of dollars of bonds with kisses, less
newsworthy acts by citizens and organizations
ofttimes go unrecognized or unknown by the
public.
Such has been the policy, quietly adopted by
the Michigan Union, of placing a large por-
tion of their advertising funds at the disposal
of such patriotic projects as the blood drive,
the Post-War Conference and similar projects.
Advertisements have been used to encourage
public participation in these war activities.
The Union has completely refrained from iden-
tifying these projects with the Union for ad-
Vertisejment's sake. There has been no 'cour-
tesy of the Michigan Union' statements in
the ads.,
Such actions as these, quietly carried on by
individuals and organizations, really constitute
an essential part of our war effort. Such actions
should be recognized and commended.

At LIBERAL SETBACK
Cripps' Demotion May
Delay Post-War Change
ONCE AGAIN it appears as if the present Brit-
isli government is trying to delay, if not de-
feat, any real post-war change in Great Britain.
For with the removal from the war cabinet of
Sir Stafford Cripps, one of England's greatest
iberals and foremost political thinkers, the inten-
tion of the British ruling classes to block social
reform in their own country and correspondingly
to oppose an international organization that may
threaten the wealth and power of the imperialists
is made increasingly clear.
Cripps came into the cabinet when the popu-
larity of the Churchill government had suf-
fered severe setbacks as a result of the disaster
at Singapore and the long string of British
War defeats. His appointment was intended to
halt criticism and lend concrete support to the
long-expressed hope that the British govern-
ment would at last surrender to the demands
of Ia modern society by undertaking needed
reforms in the post-war era.
Throughout the entire war, of course, British
conservatives have tended to imply acceptance of
a more liberal program during the great crises
of battle and then return 'to their former reac-
tionarystand as soon as victory seemed assured.
Recently, as British arms began to inn victories
on the far-flung battle fronts of the Middle East,
these conservatives started to publicly disclaim
any progressive policy. It is too early to tell
whether the government has abandoned its re-
form plans, but an ominous trend is clear.
Many forward-looking British observers have'
noted the absence in the King's speech to Par-
liament' of-any promise of educational reforms,
ora colonial charter They view the Churchill
cabinet shakeup as further evidence of a return
to the old order of things. It is accepted that
Anthony Eden will be selected }y the conserva-
tivesto lead Britainduring the post-war years,
and as Cripps was pushed more into the back-
ground; Eden was given a position of leader-
ship in the House of Commons.
Churchill's domination of the war cabinet is
still complete. Military victories have increased
his popularity to the highest peak since he be-
came Prime Minister. The full impact and sig-
nificance of his latest internal move may not
as yet have been grasped by the British people.
With this seeming public unconcern, Churchill
may go as far as to return Lord Beaverbrook to
power and replace Ernest Bevin, the great Labor
Minister.
0NE THING is made perfectly obvious by the
shifting British political scene. The con-
servatives there, typical of those in .the rest of
the United Nations, do not intend to lose any of
their prerogatives in a great post-war reform.
They will block not only progressive steps in
their own countries but on an international scale
as well.
There is still one basic hope. That is the
everlasting faith in the common people. Their
sons will have fought and died in this war.
They are insisting on a new and better way of
life. Their aim will not be denied by Churchill,
the British conservatives, or any other group
anywhere in the world.

DREW
PEARSON'S
MER RY-GO-ROUND
WASHINGTON-Inside word about Governor
Lehman's new job as world food administrator
is that it will be one of the most important in
Washington.
Not only will it require a tremendous staff
with agents all over the world, but it may
plant the seeds of a United Nations organiza-
tion to keep the peace after the war.
This latter goal will not be deliberate. But
since Lehman's job is to feed the United Nations,
he will quite naturally build up a United Na-
tions organization which could be switched over
to peace machinery after the war.
GOP Chairman
If ex-Congressman John B. Hollister of Cin-
cinnati gets the chairmanship of the Republican
National Committee in St. Louis next week,-chalk
up round one for Ohio's Governor Bricker as
GOP candidate in 1944.
Hollister is a friend of Wendell Willkie but
he is much more friendly to Bricker. In fact, he
is a Taft man, and Taft has withdrawn from
the race to swing his support to pricker.
Hollister is not an isolationist, belongs to
the conservative wing of the party, was elected
to fill the vacancy of the late Nick Longworth,
served-in the House for six years. He is a di-
rector of New York Life Insurance, Chesapeake
and Ohio R.R., Pere Marquette R.R., Virginia
Hot Springs Co., Charleston Shipbuilding Co.,
and various other corporations.
In general, he represents the old "back to nor-
malcy" policy which flourished in 1920.
Merry-Go-Round
Herbert Bayard Swope, ex-editor of the old
New York World, passed by the building of his
old friend, Eugene Meyer, publisher of the Wash-
ington Post, decided to call on him. He told the
elevator boy: "I want to go to the office of Mr.
Eugene Meyer." "Eugene Meyer," said the boy,
"do he work here?" . .. Eve Curie, daughter of
the great radium discoverer, came back from her
recent trip to India baffled by Mahatma Gan-
dhi's pacifism. She found him sincerely believing
that it was better for his country to stage a sit-
'down regardless of threatened invasion ... One
of the many who telephoned Secretary Ickes
hoping that he accept the offer of Manpower
Chief and Secretary of Labor was Representa-
tive Gene Cox of Georgia. Cox is a labor-baiter,
is vigorously opposed to most of Ickes' New Deal
policies, but wanted him on the job nonetheless.

Academic Notices
Biological Chemistry Seminar will
meet on Tuesday, December 8, at
leader of the Ukraine. The dry humor
of this colorful character with the
noisy bravado of his peasant com-
rades makes the picture worth seeing.
At the same time these very charac-
teristics prevent any deep symph-
thetic feeling from developing in the
audience, which seemed surprised to
find itself chuckling.
It would be a mistake, however, to
assume that the film has no powerful
scenes. The merciless shelling of a
defenseless village for a moment
brings the war close to home.
The gestures of the actors are crude
and displays of emotion are frequent,
NEW YORK-ISOLATION'S NEW
FACES: Mr. Hoffman, of Michi-
gan (the nearly automatic Con-
gressman, because you can nearly
always predict what he is going to
say), mutters about how the people
of New England may go cold and
hungry this winter for the benefit
of foreigners, meaning allies.
Tlie New York Daily News (the
newspaper with the nearly auto-
matic editorial page, because you
can nearly always predict what It
is going to say) chews about how'
we are stripping Americans to feed
the world,suckers.
So! Just about the time the trend
towardhbetter war aims succeeds,
this other trend, toward rousing
the most insular and parochial of
American sentiments, may also ma-
ture. They may run into each
other, head-on.
This is one of isolation's new
faces. It does not, at the moment,
object to sending American boys
abroad, but it is beginning, tenta-
tively, to object to sending Amerk-
can food.
THE BEANS ISSUE
DON'T KNOW how you can add
up a political position which
holds that it is perhaps all right
to send an American soldier abroad,
but wrong to send an American
can of beans.
This is one more of those mys-
terious, dreamy aspects which iso-
lation wears during wartime. At
bottom, every sincere one-time iso-
lationist ought to be pleased if we
can win victories with food instead
of lives. But the remnants of iso-
lation will not give up the chance
to make much of the food issue, to
chivvy a little, to stroke a few na-
tional nerves the wrong way, to
build up that legacy of resentment
of whichsome few men expect to
be the heirs.
Another of isolation's new as-
pects is the look of hate it turns
uponmWendell Wilkie, who has
become' a new "that man."
Oddly, before the war, isolation
used to make much of England's
imperialism.
Now, when Mr. Willkie raises
exactly the same issues, isolation
is outraged. It denounces him.' It
doesn't want to hear about doing
anything for those colonies, of
whose sufferings it once made so
much. Convinced at the outset
that this war is meaningless, it
wants to make good and sure it
stays meaningless.
MANY PRIVILEGES
IT WANTS the privilege of attack-
ing England for having colonies,
and also the privilege of attacking
--sAmI GAFPOAs
I'd Rather Be.Right
anyone who wants to do anything
about colonialism. It seeks, in fact,
many conflicting privileges, like
the privilege of supporting the war
and also the political privilege of
bemoaning its cost in food and
fuel and regulation:
In this curious, and, as I say,
dreamy fashion, the remnants of
isolation are able to say whoopee,
hit him again, when we'battack the
enemy, and also to mutter about
the darn bureaucrats when govern-
ment tries to collect the food and
fuel and metal with which to hit
'him again.
CULT OF 'THE MEANINGLESS
IN OTHER WORDS, what is left
of isolation has developed a cer-
tain cult of meaninglessness.
Part of the credo is that govern-
ment is a monkey or a cretin; that
government is the funniest thing
you ever saw; that pretty near
everything government does is fee-
ble, inept or comic. This is the last
big shell left in isolation's battery.
It is a {dangerous one. For, if gov-
ernment attempts to .do anything
after the war to make the world
more stable, the isolationist argu-
ment will not be against the plan,
but against the government; if iso-
lation can establish that govern-
ment is an idiot it will destroy war
aims without having to discuss,
them. It needs a purposeless,
meaningless world in which to do
its business, and thus it enjoys get-
ting the discussion of government
down to an incoherently leering
level, like some of the overtonesin
hcurrent wrangle about official
questionnaires.
One senses this somewhat nihil-
Istic disbelief in purpose, when.the
relicts of isolation mock A~t the
dream of a "Quart ofmilk a
,;for the World's people, but, quite
often,urge sa national lottery to
'solve our ills.
When a lottery makesmore sense
than a quart of milk, there is re-
vealed a hankering for a formless,
irrelevant sort of world, one that
can stagger along, concealing its
losses, masking the cost of national
existence, even pretending that
there is no cost; that life must be
a gamble and that a gamble can
pay for it.
So, the fight for better war aims
has to be more than a yammer at
the President to make up his mind;
it is going to be a conplicated
struggle, on the home front, against
1al the giggling battalions of ob-
scurantism

CINEMA.
SOMEWHAT surprised to be spared the grim
horrors of modern battle was the small Art
Cinema audience which saw the Russian film
'Guerrilla Brigade' last night.
Instead of slit throats, strangled sentries and
horrible atrocities commonly associated with this
deadly warfare, show goers were treated to a
rather pleasant living war story handled in Hol-
lywood style, plenty of action but little bloodshed.
Watching the battle scenes it is constantly
necessary to remind yourself that this is war,
