FRENCH ARE ANTLVICHY:
Cartnadji
By BARBARA HERRINTON
FROM time to time a suggestion
is made that the French in Can-
ada are isolationists, unpatriotic or
even pro-Vichy. Life said that the
children in French Canada still
admire, Petain. J. V. McAree in
the Toronto Globe and Mailtlast
week praised Jean-Charles Harvey
for being "closest in spirit to lib-
erals in other parts of Canada."
That is another way of saying,
says McAree, that he is the most
unpopular French-Canadian news-
paperman of any standing in Que-
bec. Harvey's "liberalism" advo-
cates the use of only the English
language in Canada.
These French-speaking people

Employees or managers of sub-
sidiaries of two of the largest steel
and copper companies in the
United States have been accused
of faking tests which have resulted
in our government being furnished
with defective wire and steel plate.
Whether or not these accusa-
tions are founded on fact remains
to be seen; but if they are true,
will the penalty consist of a can-
cellation of war contracts and
judgments for money losses suf-
fered, or will those responsible be
criminally tried for treason?
To my way of thinking the Ger-
man citizen who makes his way
into this country-for the purpose
of committing sabotage is an angel
compared to an American rat who
would endanger the lives of our
boys in service for a monetary
consideration.

dian culture-and in Canadian
government. This was quite
clear in 1942 when they opposed
the bill for conscription for over-
seas duty. But one could hardly
claim that this indicates an un-
patriotic or isolationist policy.
At that time the Mackenzie King
government wanted the power to
conscript men for overseas service
should such action be necessary in
the future, but at the same time
admitted that the volunteer system
was working satisfactorily. The
French-Canadian also found the
Canadian effort adequate without"
resorting to conscription. At the
same time they were not willing
to grant any additional power to
the English-speaking majority.
And what is the basis for this
racial distrust? The French in
Canada are a minority group.
They have had to struggle to main-
tain their language, their customs,
their limited representation in
Dominion government. They are
also painfully aware of an attitude
of social supremacy assumed by
the English-speaking majority.
HOWEVER, this does not mean
that they are not patriotic.
Quite the conti-ary-they are per-
haps more interested in a unified
Canada than the English are, in
spite of fantastic schemes sug-
gested by political opportunists of
minority groups in French Canada.
The French-Canadians may be
divided into three groups. The
great majority wish to mind their
own business in their own way-as
loyal subjects of the British Crown
entitled to social and political
equality with other Canadians.
The second small group favors ex-
cessive subserviency to the English
majority. It is this group that
Harvey represents. Another small
group favors separation from Eng-
land and the creation of a French
country called "Laurentia": a pol-
icy which, even if it were in the
realm of possibility, would serve no
useful purpose. But neither of
these last groups has appreciable.
influence.
Thus, it is the first group-those
who uphold and are loyal to the
Crown and the Dominion govern-
ments, but who expect to be con-
sidered on an equal basis with the.
English in Canada-that really
represents the spirit of French
Canada. And these people, French-
Canadians in general, are very
much interested in the intelligent
prosecution of the war and prep-
aration for the peace. Their inter-
est in the war may be seen in the.
fact that there are now 150,000
French - Canadians in Canada's
armed forces. Since the French in
Canada only number a bare three
million, this contribution to the
war effort denotes clearly a real
backing of what they believe is not
an imperialistic war.
They, too, are thinking of the
peace, and of Canada's part in the
peace. Vice-President Wallace's
words may often be found trans-
lated into French and quoted In
Montreal and Quebec newspapers.
Post-war suggestions in Ottawa
are quite as numerous and varied
as those suggested here. They are,
in fact, quite similar to those made
in the United States.
John P. Humphrey, Professor qf
law at McGill University in Mon-
treal, says in his explanations of
Quebec sentiment, "A people can
have at the same time a national
and an international feeling, Just
as a man can be at the same time
a good citizen of his village and of
the larger national community."
And this spirit of internation-
alism and patriotism is not lim-
ited to the French-Canadian lead-
ers; it is also the typical outlook
of the "habitant" population.
Indeed, this minority of French-
men in English-speaking Canada
is anything but the isolationists
and pro-Vichyites that their oppo-
nents would have us believe. They
can and do have at the same time
a national and an internationlal
feeling, and they are making a
genuine contribution to Canada.
y'GOLD COAST':
Grosse Pointe Retains
Pre-War Conventions
THE BATTLE raging over the Grosse Pointe
zoning ordinance reached its climax yester-
day when Mrs. Pearl Adams, the mother of two
soldier sons, appealed for a reconsideration of
her conviction and jail sentence.
Mrs. Adams has been told in so many words
by the socially elite that she ca't rent a few
empty rooms in her 22-room house to Detroit
war workers.
Saturday she was found guilty by a Grosse
Pointe jury, who sentenced her to 15 days and
$135 fine. Her tenants have been threatened
with eviction by force, and all because she ignored
a Grosse Pointe law which bars the use of any of
its mansions as rooming houses.
Said Justice of Peace Joseph V. Uvick, who
sentenced Mrs. Adams, "it doesn't matter' if
there is a war on; we can't change the law be-
cause of the war."
It's about time some people realized that this
war can take exception to all rules. The job of
defeating the Axis is yet to be done. But we
can't expect to win, we won't win, if the nien who
produce the tanks and guns and planes can't
find decent living quarters for themselves and
their families.
T HE GROSSE POINTE area is reasonably close
to the Briggs, Packard and Hudson plants
where war workers are employed turning out
munitions. Housing in the Detroit area, even of
the poorest kind, is practically impossible to ind
without weeks and months of careful searching.
PM recently declared that, "Even a cursory
survey of Grosse Pointe indicates that there
must be several thousand vacant rooms?'
Winning the war requires sacrifices-not
only from the factory worker, the college stu-
dent, and the business man, but also from the
socially elite, the "upper crust."
Is it too much to ask that they rent out a few
of their unused rooms to those who have no place
to live? Is it too much to hope that they might
allow at least one of the more patriotic Grosse
Pointe women to do as she feels she should-
whether there is a zoning ordinance or not?

WAR WORKERS:
Class Consciousness Is
Growing in Ann Arbor
THERE is a new brand of class consciousness
that's being fostered and carefully nurtured
in this community-a peculiar antipathy against
the Willow Run war workers.
The workers have complained about an absence
of housing, but more bitter to them than not
beig able to find a room was the crowning in-
dignity of being forced out of their rooms by
irate landladies who claimed that "They were
dirty."
Several householders when interviewed by a
Michigan Daily reporter seemed to associate the
workers with the worst kind of blight. Their
statements about the employes were far from
flattering and revealed an absolute antagonism
toward them
One student who is working six hours a day
besides her school work suffered the indignity
of hearing a beauty operator comment about
her slacks, "She is a girl from the Bomber so

PEARSON 'S
MERRY-GO-ROUND
WASHINGTON, March 28.- Friends of Henry
Wallace are not anxious to have him run for
President in 1944. They want him to be vice-
president again with FDR in the White House
for a 4th term.
There are several reasons for this strategy.
First, they figure that Wallace.could not be
elected president in 1944. In fact, most Demo-
cratic politicos are resigned to the fact that
there is only one Democrat who could win the
election, the man already in the White House.
Therefore, their strategy is to have Roosevelt
run again, with Wallace as his teammate, on the
ground that it's bad policy to swap horses in
midstream.
Presumably, they figure, the war would end
shortly after the 4th term begins. Roosevelt
would then be free to lay aside his domestic re-
sponsibilities and concentrate on the interna-
tional job of winning the peace. He might then
lay the mantle on Henry Wallace.
Proponents of this strategy point to many a
case where men have made their mark on the
nation after getting into the White House through'
the vice-presidency. Outstanding examples are
Coolidge and Teddy Roosevelt. Coolidge was re-
garded as unelectable, and was scheduled to be
dropped as Vice-President at the 1924 election.

MUSIC'S LOSS:
Radchmaninoff's Deathl
Ends Great Career
W ITH the death of Sergei Rachmaninoff early
Sunday morning, Ann Arbor felt the loss of
a great favorite, an artist who was beloved as
both composer and virtuoso. Those who heard
his performance of his own second concerto here
last May will not soon forget the tall, majestic
Russian who played with such pathos, beauty,
and depth of feeling.
To many the loss of such a great artist and
his music, much of which was still to be written,
may seem inconsequential when one considers
the all-important issues of the day. But for
years to come, we shall increasingly regret that
so little of his music was left behind him. No
Inatter how little his death may be known or no-
ticed today, it will mark in musical history the
end of a golden age. For Rachmaninoff was of
the old school, the only remaining link between
this era and the preceding one, and with him
has gone much beauty that may never return.
-Jean Athay
the community must change before workers
at Willow Run are treated as they should be.
Students, likewise, will have to mend their ways
and stop making the loose statements of one
sorority women who said that she would not
live in the same house as a factory worker.
This community is in a transitional period.
Workers have replaced students as the bulk of
the population, and for business reasons as well
as plain democratic Americanism the people of
I'd Rather
Be Right
BySAMUEL GRAFTON
NEW YORK, March 31.- Obscurantism is rife
again, as thousands scream. A great big fight
is being steamed up once more against the Farm
ecurity Administration. This is being attacked
one of those radical New Deal ideas. What
does the Farm Security Administration do? It
enables small farmers to buy farms. If they
have farms. it enables them to hold on to them,
and avoid being foreclosed out. It promotes pri-
vate ownership of property among small people
in a big way.
The Mississippi delta is dotted with hundreds
of one-family farms, and new farm houses, built
with the help of the Farm Security Administra-
tion. What's radical about the one-family farm?
But the most conservative wing of the farm
bloc, that which prefers the one-sided collec-
tivism of the large plantation, and the shared
crop, to the capitalism of the family-owned,
one-family farm, is out to wring the neck of
this bureau. It is time city slickers began to
understand what is going on here.-
This thing is being dressed up as fight between
conservatism and radicalism. It is actually a
fight between large property and small property.
It is a struggle to which city populations are ex-
hibiting an almost total indifference. Yet it
bears directly on that agitated march of city
dwellers from market to market to find a bit of
butter for their bread.
The Farm Security Administration, at present,
has credit arrangements of one sort or another
with 7.6 per cent of the nation's farmers. It
lends them money for feed, seed and fertilizer, or
machinery, and sometimes for doctor's care.
These little farmers last year increased their milk
production by 1,419,000,000 pounds, which was 36
per cent of the total increase of milk production
by the whole country. I know the average reader
is not fond of figures, but he is going to swallow
these if I have to ram them down his throat:
These small farms, only 7.6 per cent of all the
farms in the country, produced one-third of the
total milk increase of the whole country.
The Farm Security Administration made 1,-
419,000,000 additional pounds of milk blossom
last year, where only stinkweed bloomed before.
Dry beans are one of our shortest food items.
The whole country increased its output of dry
beans by about 110,000,000 pounds last year. The
small farms helped by the Farm Security Admin-
istration produced 30,000,000 pounds of that
grand total. These dry figures about dry beans
ought to be of almost miraculous interest.
For we've all been talking about "releasing the
democratic energies of the people for total war."
And here it's been done. In terms of beans, too!
What could be more beautiful? Not in terms of
mass-meetings alone, or resolutions, but in terms
of beans. And milk. And eggs and beef and
chickens and Peanuts.
Now, it is hard to obscure a result like that,
but the drive to obscure it is on.
Representative Cooley of North Carolina,
who is about to conduct an investigation of the
Farm Security Administration, backed by Mr.
Clare Hoffman of Michigan, has already de-
scribed this program as "Communistic." He
has written the dirty word on a handkerchief,
and he holds it up and tries to hide this moun-
tain of new food with it.
