RECRUIT DRIVE: Coeds To Have Chance To Learn About WACs UNIVERSITY WOMEN will have an excellent opportunity to acquaint themselves with a vital part of our nation's armed services to- morrow when the WAC recruiting show is held in Hill Auditorium. An entertaining as well as informative pro- gram has been carefully planned and Univer- sity women, especially those who who will soon be graduating, should make every possible ef- fort to attend the show, especially as a new drive for recruits also opens tomorrow. The time for mere theorizing about the WAC, the. WAVES and other service units,, i past. These units have proved themselves to be vital to the successful prosecution of the war. It should be the duty of every college woman to seriously consider herself as prospective mater- ial for war-time service in one of the women's service units. -Evelyn Phillips ANTI-SEMITE: Known Pro-Fascist Kept On N.Y. Police Force THE REINSTATEMENT of Patrolman James L. Drew of the New York Police Force last week, after he had been caught red-handed en- gaging in seditious activities, is in defiance of all that supposedly is dearest to American law. Drew, an avowed anti-Semite and the friend and associate of Joe McWilliams, a notorious "rabble-rouser," was found, according to the testimony of Commissioner of Investigation William B. Herlands, to have contributed funds "to at least four organizations which, accord- ing to federal indictments, were engaged in seditious activities." In his garage were found quantities of scurrilous anti-Semitic pam- phlets. Instead of booting him unceremoniously from the force, Police Commissioner Valentine rein- stated Drew, with back pay, no less. During his period of suspension from the force, Drew was allowed to police a Brooklyn precinct with a pre- ponderantly Jewish population. Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia has promised to look into the matter when he has a chance. It is hoped that he is not allowed to forget this case. -Agatha Miller IN PROTEST: Liberal Argentine Paper Suspends Publication NOTHER ITEM of unrest and disunity has appeared in Argentina with the suspension of publication of the liberal newspaper La Van- guardia in Buenos Aires Friday. No newsprint shortage or lack of manpower caused them to quit printing, but rather what they termed "a situation in the government incompatible with our ideas of liberty and freedom for what the world (except Argen- tina) is fighting." At last it seems that one segment of the Ar- DREW PEARSON'S MERRY-GO-ROUND WASHINGTON-Jan. 9-Now that the Rus. sians are back on Polish soil, friendly relations between Poland and Russia are more important than ever. However, the difficulty of British Foreign Minister Eden's job of patching them up is illustrated by an incident which now can be told about the Atlantic City Relief Conference. The Russians arrived with about eighteen reels of motion-picture film of which they were very proud. Almost immediately, they asked for permission to show their pictures of the devastated Russian regions to the as- sembled delegates. However, the American delegation, host to the conference, politely demurred. It was feared that other delegates would also ask to show con- ditions, existing in their countries. But the Russians still itched to show their films, and one night in the hotel bar, when U.S. delegate Dean Acheson and British delegate John Llewellin exuded Anglo-American-Russian friendship, the Russians again broached the matter of their films and finally got permission to show them. The big event arrived. All the delegates were there to see. The pictures were excellent. Eng- lish captions were dubbed in to translate the Russian titles, but since the film had been put together hurriedly in order to reach Atlantic City, the last part had not been translated into English. During the tail end of the picture, there was a sudden commotion in the audience, and stamping of feet as several indignant dele- gates marched out. They were the Poles. They went to their room and proceeded to write a letter to the conference demanding an apol- ogy. What happened was that the Russian film had shown pictures of the city of Lemberg or Lwow, in Eastern Poland, which would become Russian under the new plan to partition Poland. The Russian title, which only the Poles and Russians could read, said "A Typical Russian City." Polish feelings were finally soothed at At- lantic City. But the incident illustrates how difficult these European problems will be. NOTE-it is reported that the Poles will be given East Prussia and Upper Silesia at the ex- pense of Germany, to compensate for the loss of Eastern Poland to Russia. Hoover's GOP Cabinet .. . It isn't being advertised, but Herbert Hoover is receiving all sorts of callers in his suite in New York's Waldorf-Astoria and literally is rub- bing his hands getting ready to put the next Republican Administration into power one year from this month. He is also giving special attention to the appointment of the next Republican Cabinet. In that Cabinet, Hoover himself would be Secretary of State, and Hugh Gibson, former Ambassador to Belgium, would be Under-Sec- retary-provided Hoover's candidate, Tom Dewey, is elected. How far he has gone with the other Cabineteers is not known, though it is known that the MacArthur followers have selected Beardsley Ruml of the Ruml Plan as their Secretary of the Treasury. Note-one member of Hoover's old Cabinet not expected to go along with him in 1944 is ex- Secretary of War Pat Hurley, recently a war diplomat for Roosevelt. Hurley's friends say he has told FDR he would support him in 1944. (Copyright, 1944, United Features Syndicate) Dominic Says "WHY NOT TAKE the religions of the world seriously and re-examine them with a view to producing a stable order?" suggests Professor Eduard Lindeman of the New School of Social Work. Here is a rich field for research. Though he does not specify the religions, no doubt he refers to Hinduism, oldest of the faiths, With its Ahimsa, meaning no one shall kill; to Zoroaster- ianism with its certain triumph of good over evil; Buddhism, seeking the elimination of all human desire; Confucianism, whose spirit of Li and doctrine of Mean stabilize China; Judaism, with her law-giving God whose essence is justice; Christianity, the bold attempt to fuse all of man's desires into a refined personality which will transcend time; and to Islam, with her per- sistent predestination. What a store of wisdom is suggested. Three features identify a religion, we are told: A Being beyond the natural and human sphere who awakens supreme loyalty; a code of ethics consistent not with the wishes of man but with the will of his God; and renewal, a love affair between devotee and Deity mean- ing worship, the seeking of insight regularly. When we think of the millions thus held by these several great faiths, recall that they hold the allegiance of various races and completely encircle the globe, the possible assurance of a world peace to more than match world war is alluring. But what of leadership? The lecturer seemed to unfrock religion, for he would popularize it, I'd Rather Be Right_ - By SAMUEL GRATON NEW YORK. Jan. 9.-Footnotes on the Marsh- all Matter: Let us recall exactly what General Marshall complained of when he denounced the rail and steel strike threats. He said the seizure of the railroads would prolong the war. How? By convincing Nazi satellite nations in the Bal- kans that we are torn by dissension, and un- ready for a serious offensive. The picture is that these Balkan nations, or some of them, were ready to flipflop over to us, and that the rail seizure halted the flipflop. Why should it have had that curious effect? The people of the Balkans must be in an inex- plicable state of mind if the news of a pay in- crease of a few cents an hour for American workers will make them sit on their hands and refuse to rise in revolt. What! American rail labor has won eight cents more an hour, or some- thing? To hell with the revolution! A PROPAGANDA AGAINST THE FEW But when this argument is brought forth, when it is proved, in addition, that the Nazi radio has made no special mention of the rail seizure, an answer comes out of Washington. Mr. Arthur Krock, for example, tells us that it was on the leaders of the Balkan countries that our rail troubles had an averse effect, and that the Nazis propagandized those leaders, not through mass media, but by means of private diplomatic conversations.. At this point the story becomes enormously interesting, for it means that our ptopaganda is directed, not at the Balkan peoples, but at their puppet masters. It means that when we think of propaganda, we think of it in terms of propaganda directed against a few key men, a few high-placed weasels. One of the oddest footnotes to the*Marshall incident is the revel- ation that we are not trying to work on the mass mind of Europe, so much as, we are searching for more Badoglios. Our propaganda is, at least in part, a propaganda against the few; a hunt for turncoats and Darlans. That is what has bothered some commentators, such as Miss Dorothy Thompson, who cannot understand why our rail seizure is considered bad propaganda by our officials. THIS IS A SEPARATE STORY It depends on whom you are propagandizing. The revelation, made almost innocently, that we are more concerned with operating on the minds of the few than on the minds of the many is a wholly distinct and separate story coming out of the Marshall conference, and perhaps more im- portant than the labor situation which produced the conference. Now, General Marshall's knowledge of the politico-military situation in the Balkans is (to put it with a dim smile) much broader than mine. If he says so, then it is true that several Balkan leaders were on the verge of turning their coats once again, and in our favor, and that our rail seizure frightened them by making thenm wondev whether we could go through with our attack on the Nazis. But a high question of policy is established by this news. I don't mean only the question of whether the search for Badoglios is worth while in the military sense, which we certainly couldn't prove by anything that has happened in our favor in Italy. Whatever we have won in Italy, we won with blood, and it hasn't been Badoglio's blood. AS THROUGH A GLASS The question is that of the exquisitely narrow view we are taking of the continent of Europe; or, let us say, a view through a distorting glass, in which we see the puppet leaders as somewhat larger than life, and the people as somewhat smaller. It is the kind of squinting peep which makes us see a Peyrouton as bigger than big, yet lets a major popular uprising in Yugoslavia catch us by surprise. How can we hope to shape the future of Eur- ope nearer to our heart's desire, if the minds we choose to work upon are, mostly, the dead minds of the continent? All this, and more, comes out of a conference which already de- serves to be called historic. (Copyright, 1944, New York Post Syndicate) and hand its administration to a variety of leaders. He would not exclude ministers, but would include scientists, teachers, editors, men on the assembly line, boys at the controls and mothers who wait. Is that not a wild dream? "Only the wise can examine religion," says one. "The clergy alone have the grace to receive God's revelation," says another. From these reflections, he would dissent. Truth has a way of being its own protector. As for religion, was it not Jesus who said, "We thank Thee, Lord, for having hidden these things from the over-wise and prudent and revealed them unto babes?" (Luke X:21 and Matt. XI:25) Give us a fresh approach is his appeal. He has a central truth-religion is impotent if not practiced. Every college man and woman should thrill to such an adventure. Edward W. Blakeman Counselor in Religious Education Boys Buy Bonds .. . In Martin County, Minn., 4-H Club boys can- vassed all farms and brought in 400,000 pounds of scrap iron and rubber, sold the collection for $1,300, and invested the proceeds in war bonds.

N REPLY to your letter in Thurs- day's Daily, we would like to ex- press our sympathy for you - and all others like you, who after two and one-half years of college have not yet grown up. College is more than just "book-learning" - it's learning to adjust oneself to surrounding condi- tions. The dormitories, supported by the University, are placed here for our benefit. At the present writing, there are any number of girl s anxious for the opportunity to reside in your room any time you care to give it up. No rule forces you to live in a dorm. Since you seem to be so "disgruntled" why don't you investigate the matter a bit. You spoke about standing in line for "hours" (which we have rea- sons to doubt, since the dining halls are only open for 75 minutes!) Have you ever waited for a place to sit in a restaurant, and then waited even longer to be served? And as for leaving the dinner table so hungry you could eat almost anything - my friend, we have lived in a dorm for two and one-half years and have never experienced that feeling - but then, we aren't that finicky type! Although it may seem that we are taking an unfair advantage of you by mentioning the war and the suffering going on all over the world today, we find it necessary to remind you of a few facts. You mention the "tough grind we find on campus." Disgruntled, you have not yet experienced a "tough grind"-no matter how many blue- books you've had in one day, no matter how much sleep you've lost studying at night, no matter how many hours you've spent partici- pating in those extra-curricular activities. The really "tough grind" is being experienced by those fight- ing men whose meal often consists of a can of dehydrated food- have you ever tasted dehydrated food? And then, there are the people in the war-torn countries .of Europe and Asia - what do you think they're getting to eat these days? The "leavings" from your plate and others like you would probably be a godsend to them. Until you can show us an example f the "independent coeds who waste away from lack of food in the iormitories," we will continue in our >elief that everything is being done o give us well-balanced and appetiz- ng meals, in spite of the hardships vith which our dieticians and other dtchen employees must contend! -"Two Mosher Residents" Freedom Needs Goal . . RUSHING the enemy into uncon- ditional surrender on the battle ield is but one aspect of the war. the strategy must be mapped and he battles won, but to what purpose nless our leaders are prepared to olve the inevitable post-war prob- ems. There is too little plain speech about our long range objectives. We ask why we are fighting the war. The reply is a dull recital of Nazi and Japanese acts of aggress- ion. What underlies those acts is ignored. We are told we are fighting for reedom. Freedom from want etc. But he question is not freedom from ahat? The question is freedom for chat? Neitsche said "to be free of a oke is meaningless unless one has n intelligible goal. In other words reedom is a means to an end, but we tre expected to regard it as an end n itself. Virginia Rohr Post-War Council peak on "Bach, His Music and His Zeligion."
