PROF. NELSON: International Center To Lose Outstafding Man tHE UNIVERSITY will lose one of the most outstanding men in its history when Prof. J. Raleigh Nelson, Counselor to Foreign Students, retires at the end of the semester. Through his unstinting efforts and constant Work, Prof. Nelson has made the International Center one of themost outstanding in the coun- try. During his years as Counselor to Foreign Students, he has acted as father, advisor, friend end companion to hundreds of students coming to study under a new culture and environment. Prof. Nelson's ideal through the years that he has been working with these "unofficial ambassadors" has been to develop interna- tional good will and to send the students home with a knowledge of the best in American life and appreciation of the sincerity of our friend- sli for them. The tribute paid Prof.4Telson last night at his retirement banquet in the League by the foreign students with whom he has worked showed that his ideal has been realized. -Claire Sherman STEP SLOWLY: Pan-Americanism Can Stop Internationalism I3RITISH REACTION to the Roosevelt-Ca- macho meeting and to Wallace's goodlwill tour in South America is fear that the Good- *eighbor Policy may develop into a Western 1"emisphere alliance, which might obstruct a democratic worldwide unity. Comparable to British fear was the American concern over Churchill's discussion of a "council ii Europe" and a "council in Asia" in a recent radio speech. Both proposed actions suggest hemispheric isolationism and nationalism on a regional basis, each of which is outmoded because of highly advanced means of transportation and communication. Some observers fear that the acts would invite a future "war of the hemispheres," which cer- tainly is not the answer to our search for peace. We must be careful lest Pan-Americanism "runs away with us" and we destroy all the plans for a democratic world-wide organiza- tion in which each person is, in truth, a mem- ber of the human race, a solid unit founded on equality and the four freedoms. -Pat Cameron EWIS AGAIN: Miners' Demand Just, Coal Strike Is Mistake THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF has ordered the seizure of all strike-bound mines in an 'ffort to break the coal strike. The pity of the situation is that, by and large, the demands of the nation's coal miners are fully j1stified. Prices in the mining area have risen to unparalleled heights, while wages have re- mained constant. The miners certainly deserve the $2 a day they are asking from the operators. They know that John L. Lewis is not talking through his hat when he says that many miners can't get enough to eat. They know that their sons in the service are behind them from words like: "You better keen faith in the UNION." FOR FREEDOM: _erman Students St Example by Heroism RECENT STORIES coming to us of the atroc- ities committed by the Nazis and the heroism of the university students in Europe should only serve to make us more deeply aware of the need for a decisive victory as soon as possible. Reports come from Stockholm that three Munich University students, although con- demned to hang publicly on the campus for. spreading anti-Nazi tracts, have been guil- lotined instead. One was a woman and the other two were soldiers, one of whom was a Stalingrad Sixth Army survivor who had been decorated with two Iron Crosses. The incident is said to grow out of a speech by Gauleiter Gieseler denouncing women stu- dents for using studies as a pretext to escape, war service and declaring that if they did not want to work in munitions factories they ought "at least to bear children, without marriage." The women students are reported to have answered with jeers. and men students formed lines protecting them when policemen charged. AGROUP OF students then issued two tracts appealing to the student body, protesting against Nazi suppression of free thinking and free expression of opinion, and calling for re- fusal to attend Nazi lectures and resignation from Nazi organizations. "A new faith in liberty and honor dawns," it said. Such accounts of the sacrifices being made by German youth should only serve to bring home to us even more the need for greater assistance on our part. If they are willing to lose their lives in open rebellion, it would not seem too much for us, secure in our classroom, to give more of our time, our efforts,, and our money for the cause of world freedom and liberty. -Jean Richards The Po'intted Every now and then a Daily reader rears back and lets us in on what's wrong with the paper. That there's not enough congratulating going on around here seems to be a chronic gripe. Just last week a Sad Subscriber, as he called himself, wrote us, saying. "Please, please write just one editorial completely free from quips, pessimism, and cynicism. Just one editorial of praise, congratulation or approval of something." Perhaps, Mr. Sad Subscriber, you've got something there. The deluge of larger issues, all awry and cock-eyed, has swamped many things that could and should be commended. For instance, S. S., something might be said for the Union Council which has done a lot to help Ann Arbor's home front war effort. Besides opening the entire recreational fa- cilities of the Union to service men, they broke all quotas in the Red Cross Drive, have worked with the Blood Bank, and just lately put on the "Share Your Smokes" drive. Then toi the camnu owe Mihiegn'g l P'd Rather Be Right By SAMUEL GRAFTON NEW YORK, May 2.-Much of the German propaganda really sticks. It does so cut ice. The German story of the twelve thousand Polish officers supposedly killed by the Russians and buried near Smolensk winds up as a brilliant personal triumph for Dr. Goebbels. The story did exactly what he wanted it to do. Dr. Goebbels succeeded in making the world talk about murders of Poles by Russians, at a time when Poland is dying at the hands of Ger- mands. That was a formidable accomplishment. It could be said that the Polish government- in-exile was already sufficiently anti-Russian, that Dr. Goebbels' little seed merely fell on fertile ground. These circumstances do not detract from his grisly achievement. It is not the function of propaganda to start wholly new trends, nor to move mountains. The func- tion of propaganda is to seek out existing trends, to nurse them, to speed them, to build them carefully, to give the final shove to the mountain that is already about to fall. Dr. Goebbels' propaganda is not interested in the slightest degree in making us love Germany. As an able propagandist, he does not attempt the impossible. But if there is among us, say, a whisper that de Gaulle is too close to Russia, then he builds on that. Whenever de Gaullists are arrested in France, they are described as Communists; the French underground move- ment, of whatever variety, is labeled Red, even when priests are involved in it, and, bit by bit, Dr. Goebbels gives greater currency to this con- ception and builds up the fear that already pre- exists in some American hearts. The agile propagandist merely amplifies exist- ing impulses, operating like a kind of electronic tube in the field of ideas. He believes that the customer is always right, and he will sell him whatever he wants. If some members of the Polish government-in- exile are so anti-Soviet that they cannot lay that feeling aside even for the duration, he does not quarrel with them, he does not try to steer them in new directions; he steers them in the direction in which they already want to go. He tries to build whatever feeling they already have to the crisis level, to the acute stage. But they must have the original im- pulse before the propagandist can hope to magnify it. The answer to him, of course, is not counter- propaganda, but to beware of officials who have dangerous original impulses. German propaganda to the effect that the United States intends to reduce England, Scot- land and Wales to just three more American states, and that we also intend to seize the air- ways of the world, would be mere wind, were it not for the Chicago Tribune, which preaches precisely this kind of lengthening of our shadow, and were it not for several American Congress- men whose first question to a boiling world is who gets the airlines. The job of German propaganda is to build England's small worry about our future plans to the point where it will be a big worry. It is silly, is it not? England cannot really dis- trust us, can she? But there has already been one explosion of outraged protest against some of our talkers on the floor in the House of EVERY alert religionistas well as the young intellectual shares the responsibility of bringing the findings of our life sciences and the postulates of theology to bear jointly in society. In this regard, the religious educator stands be- tween two powerful disciplines. He receives from one a scheme which disregards the evolutionary hy- pothesis and the principle of emergence. "Theology continues to bifurcate reality in terms of the material and the spiritual, sin and holiness, experience and revela - tion, reason and faith, man and God," says E. E. Aubrey, a modern theologian. Science establishes as fact the personality principle. The baby is subject to biological and social heredity. He bears at birth poten- tialities of rare promise. Hegrows in physical, and social stature due in part to the environmental cu- ture. He exercises a growing measure of selectivity, thus gpro- viding his distinctiveness of per- sonal character. Here is a stream of life all of which is sacred. Moving away from the dichotomy of pre-Copernican thinking, he ac- cepts the insights and findings of psychology as germane for the tasks of religion. The ramifica- tions of this acceptance are far- reaching. When personality de- velopment is viewed as basic for the establishment of freedom and the creation of a democratic way of life, a new unity becomes possi- ble between the growing person and all group experience. USE OF the personality principle involves the careful nurture of such physiological factors as re- flexes and feeling tones, the func- tioning of glands and the forma- tion of nuro-muscular habits of behavior. Human desires, atti- tudinal interests with their variant emotional concomitants and pre- vailing loyalties of the good life all fall into a comprehensive pattern. Values and ideals troop into the foreground and become the agents of progress against scheming self- ishnesses, educational short-cuts and direct evasions. With Profes- sor Meyers of Hartford, we see that "The division between the sacred and the secular is artificial. God is not behind but in the process of the cosmos, of history, and of all life." (Religion for Today, p. 103.) That is not the final word, how- ever. The faulty world view-can be discarded certainly. But how about a solution for evil? The meaning of personal existence, the claims of the universe upon the individual, the purpose of the imponderables of birth and-=death, love and hate, disease and war, faith and God, as Christianity has always held, are at once unique assets and baffling problems To make progress, we must re- solve to use the personalityprinci- ple to introduce a fresh attack up- on those age-old problems of hu- man existence which forever con- stitute the fields of religion and philosophy and to proceed in the assurance that "the Sabbath was made for mnan and not man for the Sabbath." (Mark, 2:27.) Counselor in Religious Education E. W. Blakeman, in-exile. He finds others among those allied diplomats whose fear of a disorderly Europe overweighs their love for a free Europe. And behold, the Franco issue still divides us as it did five years ago, and France, once rendered static by fear, is still static and still waiting. The remedy is not smarter propa- ganda, but fewer weak spots. When there is nothing to build on Dr. Goebbels does not build. (Copyright, 1943, N.Y. Post Syndicate) President Is Right THEMICHIGAN DAILY pub- lished an editorial the other day condemning Roosevelt's decision to exclude the press from the United Nations Food Conference at Hot Springs, Va. on May 18. The arti- cle labeled the President's act as rank totalitarianism, incompatible with the traditional democratic prciple of "freedom of the press." It also affirmed the capability of the American press to print only news which is not harmful to the war effort. I cannot see the basis for such a condemnation. The President's decision neither infringes upon nor renounces our long established "freedom of the press." I would not deny that the American news- papers have displayedremarkable ability and common sense in self- censorship. On the other hand, there have been times when events were publicized to the detriment of the nation. As Professor Shotwell of Coluin- bia University recently pointed out, there are dangers in conducting some affairs with other nations in the open. We must remember that some government activities have to be of a secret nature in order to be carried out successfully. The Amer- ican public is not in a situation to know all of the time when the poli- cies of the Administration are for their best interests. For example, in 1940, had the President made public his inten- tion to trade fifty out-of-date de- stroyers to England for the lease of someof their bases in the Atlantic, the American people would have prevented such an exchange. That they would have done this is evi- denced by the storm of criticism that followed the publicizing of the action Roosevelt had taken. Of course, today no one questions that this transaction has been of im- measurable value in bolstering the defenses of this country. MOSTOF US were made aware of the Casablanca conference and the recent Mexican conference by information released after they had already taken place. No one questions that the reticence in both cases was necessary and was demo- cratic. It requires only average intelli- gence to realize that publicity often frustrates "rather than promotes better cooperation and-understand- ing. Since it usually breaks down into eulogising or criticizing the policies of each country concerned, it may easily precipitate a spirit of antagonism among the various na- tions and thus impede their efforts to assist each other. I am not arguing in favor of sup- pressing all freedom of the press. Nor am I refusing to give the American newspapers credit for the spirit in which they are cen- soring news themselves. I am merely saying that If the press is to be excluded from the food con- ference, there must be some reason justifying such secrecy. Rather than becoming unduly alarmed and disturbed, and calling such ac- tion totalitarianistic, why not re- gard it as being essential, demo- cratic and expedient to the suc- cessful allied cooperation in win- ning both the war and the peace. The time to voice our disapproval will be when and if the government fails to inform us of some of the conference's accomplishments. -Harvey Weisberg DAILY OFFICIALI BULLETIN (Continued from Page 4) 10:45 a.m. Public worship.
