In years past we have had this drive, that drive, and still another drive, all drives working for the common good. This year we have one drive, one attempt to collect all the money that used to be collected in smaller, less painful amounts. This year we have more to do. This year we have to subscribe more thai ever before. AND WE'RE NOT DOING OUR BEST! Students do not have much to spend, you say. There is little doubt that we have less than our parents, but this is not to say that we have so little that we cannot forsake the movies a few times to give to such a cause. While we may not le fighting this war, we can do our every ait at home. This year we have a Job to do. This year we are going to do our best. The students at Michi- gan can do their part ... they will! -Al Raymond INTF ENA TONA L: ]ROMINENT puble alt hleaders from North and Latin America are gathering in an inter-- American conference Monday in the Univer sity's Public Health buildings to exchange ideas on how to promote pblic health. Attempts to promote international solidaity have been formula ed and expouded in every field, but health. We have suggested everything from establishing an international university to a linking highway, but as yet there has never been a working foanula suggested on how to raise the health standards of the Arkansas sharecropper or the groveling peon struggling on the summit of a Mexican mountin range. Have you ever seen the shacs for homes in the southern United States neatly pasted with newspaper? Have o ever toured Mexico's mountains or even deserts and seen whole famils dwelingnder a thatched roof? This modern age has a vast amount of primi- tive activity dominating its structre. There are individuals who still hike miles for water and carry it to their hornes in earthen jugs, over shoulders and bodies infested and racked with disease. WHERE is all this medical progress, science "rampages" about? Why isn't there an ex- tensive health proram caried ovem to aweak society ilourishinggreatly in po ety and dirt with never a mention of sanitation or medicine. The fact the t s4uc a conference is being held here, not only to eromote public health but also to focus attention on post-war public health problems is extremely important in the light of future solidarity between the Ameri- cas. Such a conference brings home the need WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.---Most people don't realize it, but the new wage boost granted the miners (which John L. Lewis didn't like) makes them the third highest paid wage group in the U.S.A. On Jan. 1, 1941, the miners ranked 20th, with weekly earnings of $26. In August. 1943, they had shot up to 11th, with a weekly average wage of $46.24. The new Illinois compromise agree- ment will put them at $54.74. The average wage paid in all manufacturing industries is $43.43. Only wage groups getting better pay than the miners are (1) auto workers and (2) transpor- tation equipment workers, which means aircraft. shipyards, locomotives. War Labor Row ... Some pretty hot words were exchanged pri- vately among members of the War Labor Board during the coal wage dispute. They were chiefly attacks by AFL members, led by George Meany against the WLB members representing the pub- lic. Meany, two-fisted secretary-treasurer of the American Federation of Labor, tore into patri- otic Chairman Will Davis so roughly that Davis later confided to friends that he didn't know how much longer he could stand being kicked around by both sides. Meany's gripe was that Chairman Davis. Dean Wayne Morse of the University of Oregon, and other WLB members representing the public were dominated by the White House and Eco- nomic Czar Vinson. He claimed they did not approach labor problems impartially, but took orders from above. The AFL members felt so strongly on this that they issued a dissenting opinion publicly accus- ing WLB members of being "dominated" by other "government agencies." This brought a hot rejoinder from hard-working Wayne Morse, who challenged the AFL to show "a scintilla of evidence which supports their charge." Real fact is that WLB members representing the public are so strongly sold on wage stabiliza- tion they don't have to get instruction from Eco- IT'S ABOUT TIME: New USO Is Answer To Servicemen's Needa ANN ARBOR citizens are to be congratulated on their recently announced plans for open- ing a community conducted USO service club in Ann Arbor. The club, which will be located in rejuvenated Harris Hall, will be open at all times to soldiers, sailors and marines stationed on campus and Ann Arbor men who are home on leave. For a long time men in uniform have la- mented the fact that there has been no place for them to go where recreational facilities are readily obtainable. Soldiers have said that the YMCA and Ameri- can Legion were the only organizations in town that conducted regularly scheduled social activi- ties for servicemen with the exception of an occasional dance at the League or sorority spon- sored open house. Now they will have a club of their own with coeds and Ann Arbor girls acting as hostesses. r HE NEW SERVICE CLUB, which is spon- sored by a country-wide organization and financed by national and Ann Arbor funds through the War Chest, should satisfy the pleas- ure-seeking .servicemen whether he is in the mood for a rousing good time, intellectual in- spiration or a quiet pl'ace to study. Ping pong, bridge and backgammon, organized study and language groups, dances and special parties are all included in present plans. Up until now a serviceman who didn't want to dance, but who wanted to sit down with a magazine in a place he could call his own has had no refuge but his room. Campus attempts to entertain these men have helped to some extent, but more has been needed. As the influx of soldiers, sailors and marines bas grown greater, the need for a community USO has been more and more evident. The citi- zens of Ann Arbor deserve a big hand for taking this badly needed step. It was slow in coming, there's no doubt about it. We've been at war for two years and some- thing should have been done a long time ago. But at last the ice has been broken and men in nmic Czar Vinson. This column was in error recently in stating that Vinson had given "bare- knuckled" instructions to WLB members not to accet the original Illinois coal agreement. Vinson had had various conversations with WLB members, and although he let them know his general views on wage stabilization, they were already just as thoroughly sold as he. Meanwhile the dispu'to between labor and public WLB members continues to boil. What diplomats are especially watching about the Moscow agreement is the follow-through. While not as enthusiastic a the paeans of praise in the press, they hope that upon the skeleton wo ked out at Moscow may be hung, some per- manent. health flesh. Whether this can be done will depend on who does it. As usual in diplomacy it is a question of 1 personnel. American diplomatic personnel has been one of our weakest points; British and Russian personnel among their strongest points. The Russians, for instance, have taken most seriously the special political council which is to function in London. On it will sit the man who someday may succeed Premier Stalin-An- drei Vishinski. He helped frame the constitu- tion of Russia, prosecuted the Soviet purge trials. was a friend of Lenin, engineered the Kaunas agreeriient which brought aout the political delivery of Lithuania into Russian hands in 1940. Vishinski has a mind like a needle, is a match for the keenest legal-statesman in any country. But to match wits against him on the Mediter- ranean Council, Secretary Hull originally sent Ed Wilson, U.S. Ambassador to Panama. Wilson has been in the diplomatic srice for 23 years, is an A-1 man, but not the type who, like Vish- inski, might ever lead his count . So the thing diplomats are watching is whom FDR picks from the threadbare assortmnent available to carry on and build up working peace machinery from the foundation laid in Moscow. (Copyright, 1943.

Proposed as a solution to the Detroit race riet problem, the Mlan would have detached four fifths of the present village of Inkster leaving the remainder ponulated almost ex- clusively by Negroes, without most of the com- munity's public service and utilities. The evils presented in the plan were best summed up by Councilman George Edwards who denounced it as, "the most undemocratic he had ever heard of in the history of Wayne County. In my opinion," Edwards declared, "it couldn't be anything but unconstitutional and fraudulent. Not only would the proposal divide a governmental unit strictly on racial lines, but it would allow a narrow majority of the people to take with them into a new village nearly all the important public improvements in the com- - imunity, and it would leave the minority of the population saddled with the whole bonded debt undertaken previously by the whole population." a EGREGATION is no solution to the race prob- lem which confronts the Detroit area. The division of the forces at issue into geographic as twell as racial groups would only serve to inten- sify the animosity. Encouragin as the vot mn the inkster question is it is alarming tha only five votes prevented the carrying o'the election issue. Faced with the problem of racial cooperation, the Wayne County suervisors should never have even copsidered such an alarming pro- posal. The defeat of this proposa1 markcs an impor- tant but unfortunately narrow victory for the forces of toleration and democracy. - Monroe Fink uniform should find Ann Arbor a friendlier, more enjoyable place to be stationed. Post-War Planning... AS THE TIDE of victory rises and promises to engulf the world in the greatly longed-for peace, inquir- ing and thoughtful students are be- coming increasingly aware of the need for intelligent post-war plan- ning. Grabbing at the chance to clarify the issues and problems involved in post-war planning, students are read- ing, listening and discussing these topics by themselves, with friends, and at meetings. One such important meeting is going to take place here in Ann Arbor Sunday, Nov. 7, at the Congregational Church at 3 pn. Sponsored by the caristian Mis- sion for World Order-a united church effort for peace-and en- dorsed by our own Michigan Post- War Council, this mass meeting brings to the fore three eminent leaders on post-war planning, who will endeavor to assist every think- ing person or group of persons in inaugurating :effective post - war programs of study and action. Here is an opportunity for students to ask experts to come down to brass tacks and give their opinions on spe- cific post-war items. Since the road America will take TOMORROW must be determined TODAY by an in- formed public awake to the need of a decent world order, every thinking person is urged to attend and partici- pate in this meeting. -Barney Lasehever Post-War Council Plagiarism?

U i csr Producers' Federation (Of a &od ernate 1N OPPOSITION to President Roosevelt's sub- sidy policy, the Milk Producers' Federation has asked that the price ceiling on milk and other dairy products be lifted to allow an in- crease in prices of one cent per quart of milk and six cents per pound of butter. The over-all increase in profits to producers would be about $600,000,000 per year. This is the plan which leading milk produ- cers' cooperatives have advanced to insure dairy farmers the profits necessary to continue pro- duction at a rate which will meet the present to take upon itself the additional task of doling out some $500,000,000 from the Treasury when the consumer population could absorb this sum at only a slight increase in milk prices. 1HE PROPOSED INCRA in milk prices would not abolish the inf tion-curbing ceil- inu but it would allow the milk industry to solve it own problems at a minimum expense to the people. Tha the publi cn well afford such an increase is ilustrated by the fact that unem-
