NO THANKS:
Russia Wants Second
Front Action in Europe
O8 F STALIN declared Tuesday, after receiv-
ing a message from President Roosevelt con-
,gratulating him on Russia's victories over the
German army, that the "Red Army alone is
bearing the whole weight of the war" in the "ab-
sence of a second front in Europe."
Stalin is a smart politician and as such he is
trying to get the idea across that congratulatory
messages are not to be compared with the second
front which has been in the making now for 13
months. This subtle timing shows a bitterness
for which we cannot honestly blame the Rus-
sians. It is easy for us to sit safe at home and
talk about our gigantic production and the plans
we have for attacking Europe and Tokio when
our preparations are complete and the time is
right and success is reasonably certain, but the
Russian people have to watch their towns burn
and their friends and families die while we talk
of the wonderful progress the United Nations are
making.
The Russians have never in this war been
able to choose the time or the place or the
preparations in fighting the enemy. They
have fought constantly without preparations
against much ;superior forces and yet they
have held the enemy and are now driving them
back.
Is it not natural then that Stalin and his
people are a little disappointed in us and fed up
with our thanks. - Charles Bernstein
RIOS RESISTS:
U.S. Should Coupteract
Axis Propaganda in Chile
ONE FACTOR that the people of the United
States have chosen to ignore in their jubi-
lance regarding Chile's recent break with the
Axis powers is the all-important one concerning
President Juan Antonio Rios' pro-German atti-
tude.
In his Jan. 20 speech breaking off diplomatic
relations with the Axis, Rios declared that, "This
strictly diplomatic measure does not mean in
any way a repudiation of the peoples of Italy,
Germany and Japan." This, coupled with his
subsequent actions toward the Axis powers, par-
ticularly the Nazi government, indicate that the
break was one for convenience's sake, and any
resemblance to the real thing was purely coin-
cidental.
The actual break in diplomatic relations,
brought about primarily to mollify the demands
of the .United States, has done little towards
clamping down on the Axis machine.
For example, in spite of the fact that in Octo-
ber the Chilean government forbade Axis mis-
sions from using code to transmit messages to
the homeland, it has . allowed them to send
these same messages via telephones. Rios has
refused permission to intercept the telephone
lines, and the messages remain uncensored.
Now although officially no longer recognized,
the German foreign office receives "protection"
from the Chilean government, sympathy from
the Chilean people and freedom of privileges
through the agency of President Rios.
Blame for the Chilean situation lies largely in
our hands, for the failure to enlist, or attempt
to enlist, the Chilean people on our side. The
intentions of our nation were never made clear
'RED MENACE':
Sikorski Fears Soviet
Propaganda in Poland
A FEW DAYS AGO Premier Sikorski protested
to the Soviet Government against the use of
Soviet Communist propagandists in Poland. It
seems that the Red Army has been dropping
parachutist propagandists in Poland, who have
been organizing Communist cells in order to
facilitate a general uprising in Poland. Sikorski
bases his protests on the ground that the-time
is not ripe for a general uprising in Poland.
The reasons for this concern, however, seem
obvious. Sikorski, like other Polish reaction-
aries, is afraid of the rising pro-Soviet senti-
ment among the peasants and workers of Po-
land.
To understand these new developments in the
Polish situation we must forget any prejudices
we may have formed during the days of Soviet
occupation of eastern Poland when the American
press, to say the least, did not present an entirely
unbiased picture of developments there.
The Poland of 1939 was not, as we would like
to believe, an ideal democracy. It had, in fact, a
regime little less totalitarian than that of fascist
Italy.
General Sikorski, himself, in spite of his excel-
lent military and political record as a Polish
nationalist, was kept in political oblivion by the
Smigly-Rydz dictatorship.
The Anti-Semitic movement was sanctioned
and aided by the Polish government. Govern-
ment services, universities and the Polish
Army excluded Jews entirely from the higher
positions. Communists and certain Socialist
and peasant parties were banned, and political
activity by these groups was punishable by
severe jail 'sentences. Ukrainian nationalists,
too, complained of unparalleled brutality at
the hands of Polish officials.
The land in Poland was largely in the hands
of a few capitalists and the Catholic Church.
Polish youth was regimented in youth organiza-
tions, such as the Polish Boy Scouts (which,
however, hardly correspond to our own Boy
Scouts.)
Poland, moreover, didn't lack imperialist ambi-
tions and avidly grabbed its part of Czecho-
slovakia in the German-Hungarian-Polish parti-
tion of that helpless country.
When the Soviets entered the country they
introduced economic democracy. According to
Soviet Information Bulletins in New Masses and
New Statesman, they confiscated all large land
holdings and divided them among the landless
peasants. They formed shop committees of
workers to insure industrial democracy.
In contrast to the Polish government, which
had suppressed Ukrainian and White Russian
languages and cultures, the Soviets began to
encourage national literature, music and art. The
number of schools was increased, and no attempt
was made to suppress the native languages of
the inhabitants. In fact, the number of libraries
and national art theatres increased markedly.
Education was given on an equal basis to all,
regardless of race, color or creed, in distinct con-
trast with the Polish government's policy. Racial
persecution and hatred were discouraged by edu-
cation and stamped out by force.
This policy of radical change, in spite of the
hardships it imposed at times on sections of the
popuation, could not help but make a lasting
impression on the Polish people who had, for the
last twenty years, got little but ultra-nationalist
propaganda from their fascistic governments.

WE WERE arguing about fraternities; wheth-
er you have more fun in them than you do
in the dorms. Then Johnson broke in:
"You always talk about such important
things."
Sarcasm like that irritates me. I know that
there's fighting in Africa; but I'm not in Africa,
and I still like to argue about trivial things like
fraternities. Even though I may, to Johnson,
seem childish.
But Johnson seems to think that you should
fight the war even in your conversation. Per-
haps it's that he's in Lit School, taking fine
arts and political science. They aren't exactly
military subjects, and they make you feel that
you should be out there slugging the Japs in
some way, even if only conversationally.
There's also the exact opposite of Johnson,
the kid who actually doesn't know there's a war
on. One of my best friends, a couple of years ago,
was very vehement about the fact that he was
more interested in the pennant race than the
European war. And that's a healthy American
attitude, as far- as it goes. If you spend your
spare time yelling your head off for the Cards to
"moider dose burns" you won't be interested in
knocking off a slice of your neighbor's territory,
which seems to be the favorite European outdoor
sport.
BUT "baseball first" is kind of an anachronism
now,-as even Johnny would admit. The
pleasure-before-business point of view is prac-
tically extinct, lingering only in a few Ann Arbor
coke-joints. In corners where they haven't swept
out recently.
To get back to our bird's eye view of the cam-
pus at war, there're the engineers. Secure in
their 2A's, they're about the only undergraduates
who can salve their conscience with the thought
that they're being trained for essential war jobs.
They're here because that's where they're need-
ed, and they don't have to do much worrying
about it.
It does worry them, though, when they think
of this summer. They'll be almost the only
physically fit males on campus in civilian clothes.
Then the casualty lists will start coming in .. .
It won't be pleasant.
T HE ONE thing they aren't thinking about,
though, is The Future of Liberal Education
in Our Changing World. That's what bothers
Percy, the guy at the other end of the hall. He
keeps complaining about what the war is doing
to the Lit School. Liberal Education, he says, is
what we've got to hang on to. Liberal Education
will make us better officers, Liberal Education
will train us how to write the peace ...
Liberal Education, as Percy tells it, can do
many and wonderful things; I can't see,
though, how it will train us to be better sol-
diers. You learn the art of soldiering from
bayonet drills and route marches, not from
Anthropology or Social Studies 266, We are
training officers for the short run; second-loo-
ies, not generals. For second-looies they want
soldiers, not poli-sci experts.
I can't see, either, where Percy has a right to
ask the country to take time out and train him
