Price Increase
'OST OF LIVING going up, incomes coming
down. This is the situation now prevailing
in Ann Arbor. The Board of Governors of
Residence Halls' decision to increase the cost of
living seems ill-timed and uncalled for. With
Ann Arbor already recognized as one of the
nation's most expensive cities in which to
live, it would seem that the Governors are
stretching purse strings a little too' far.
Already there are several hundred veterans
on campus and with the prospect of more re-
turning, it would seem that the Governors' ac-
tion might discourage them from attending the
University. The veteran, for the most part
is attempting to live on the very meager allot-
ment provided under the G.I. Bill of Rights.
He receives fifty dollars a month in living ex-
penses and to require him to spend almost half
of this for just a room that he has to take
care of himself seems to be asking too much.
The remainder of the money cannot possibly
cover his board bill and it definitely will not
provide any recreation. Therefore, to increase
his living expenses and provide for no increase
in his income will make it virtually impossible
for the continuation of his education at the
University.
The Board of Governors of Residence Halls
deems it a necessity to raise the cost of room
and board to meet the increase of labor and
food costs. However, much less service is pro-
vided today than in the past; it would seem that
the cost should have decreased.
Costs for individual home-owners have gone
up but the OPA has fixed ceilings on the
rentals in order to help prevent inlati n.
The University is exempt from OPA control
as a "political subdivision of the state," but
it would appear that its latest order is just
as inflationary as any attempt of an indi-
vidual to violate price ceilings.
Perhaps increased rates are justified, but the
tendency to set the price of a college education
beyond the reach of the returning vet must be
stopped. If the trend continues, there may be
little chance for the veteran to get a collegeI
education; this tendency will make the vast
program of education now being set up for
the veteran of little use to him.

"TAG DAY TOMORROW," said one of the*
girls at the drug store counter. "Again
they'rc asking us for money." Her companion,
also in the act of gorging herself on a hot
fudge concoction (with nuts) pointed out that
the University fresh air camp was a "good
cause."
"Sure, it's a good idea.to have a place where
boys from the crowded districts can go for a
vacation and get help with their personal prob-
lems," admitted co-ed number one. "I evenI
like the idea of having students act as coun-
sellors to get experience for social work or
teaching," she added, "Might want to go there
myself some day."
She explained that it was merely her limited
allowance which was causing the difficulty.

WASHINGTON-Watching our diplomatic re-
lations close-up, both in San Francisco and
Washington, leads to the unmistakable conclu-
sion that the most important problem this coun-
try faces-more important than any domestic or
war problem-is our relations with Russia.
Russia is now on the road to becoming the
most powerful nation in Europe and Asia, and
there is nothing we can do to prevent it. Half
a billion Chinese, plus one-third billion Indians
restless under British rule, are certain to gravi-
tate to Russia; also the middle-European coun-
tries of Czechoslovakia, Austria, Poland and
the Balkans.
The United States, meanwhile, is bound to
become the rallying nation for Western civiliza-
tion-Great Britain, Latin America, France,
Holland, the Scandinavian countries.
Thee will be two powerful blocks. The
question is: Will they drift into war 10 or 29
years from nw? If the toboggan once starts,
no power on earth can prevent war. The time
to stop it is now. And already our relations
with Russia have reached the low level of
diplomatic nose-thumbing and caustic note-
writing which augurs ill for the future.
No peace machinery constructed at San Fran-
cisco can stop this toboggan once it starts. The
basic theory of the San Francisco conference is
that big nations shall be free to do what they
please. No real machinery is even contemplated
to stop war between big nations-except their
own common sense. And already the big nations
at San Francisco have shown themselves unable
to settle their own disputes.
With this alarming situation in mind, this
columnist proposes to diagnose the entire
tangled skein of our Russian relations. Some
of what follows will be considered very criti-
cal of Russia. Some may be considered
critical of the United States. It is suggested
that no conclusions be drawn until both sides
are presented.
Keep Out of Berlin.. ..
RELATIONS with Russia began their nose-
dive just a few days before President Roose-
velt died. when Stalin sent his note accusing
us of a deal with the Germans in order that
we might get to Berlin ahead of the Red Army.
Of course there was no deal. But there had
been a conference of American and German
officers in Switzerland to arrange for an armis-
tice in Italy, and the manner in which the
Germans were surrendering wholesale to the
Americans in the West, while fighting to the
last ditch against the Russians in the East, made
the Russian generals suspicious.
The Russians are a suspicious people any-
way, and long years of isolation have not made
them less so. Also, in view of the fact that
700,000 Germans have already been shipped
off to Russia by the Red Army, it is easy to
see why the German army hastened to sur-
render on one front, while fighting fiercely
' on the other.
But, to allay Russian suspicions, the Ameri-
can army stopped its advance on the River
Elbe, carefully kept out of Berlin.
Keep Out of Prage.. .
LMOST simultaneously, however, another un-
fortunate incident occurred. The American
Ambassador to Czechoslovakia, Laurence Stein-
hardt, was all set to go back to Czechoslovakia
with the invading Russian armies. So also
was a British diplomatic mission. President
Benes was returning and was anxious to have
American and British diplomats go to with him.
But the Russians said no. Their excuse was

xr ITHOUGHT***
By ay Dxong
Tom Harmon claims in his book, published
last fall, that Ann Arbor has the most beautiful
spring in America. This year it came in the
middle of March and lasted about two weeks.
Hard likker may not be sold by the glass in
this town but we'd hardly call it a haven of
security for the drys.
Yeah, it rains every day here, see! Wets
it to ya?
There are some people on campus who re-
sented my aspersion to Class Games yesterday,
which same is being held May 26. We'll stick
by our contention that the time could be better
spent selling bonds and tags. But that wasn't
meant to be a slam at this erstwhile revival
of the traditional war betwixt soph and frosh.
This is the first time in two years that we
can remember anybody trying to organize
the male members of the classes of '47 and
'48 into anysort of a project. Everyone just
assumed that there weren't enough of them on
campus and proceeded to Ball on the girls-
who have more than they can handle now.
It will be interesting to see just exactly how
much enthusiasm can be generated for this sort
of thing. These Games may not be Classy, but
they should be fun.
that no housing facilities were available in
Czechoslovakia. And up until this writing,
Ambassador Steinhardt is still cooling his heels,
unable to enter the country to which he is
accredited.
Shortly thereafter occurred another unfor-
tunate incident. At Yalta it was agreed that
both the B)ritislh and American armies would
send troops into Vienna, and would also
occupy certain Austrian provinces. But sud-
denly the Russians set up a government in
Vienna under the old socialistic leader, Dr.
Karl Renner. Also they seized the Viennese
airfields.
So now, British and American token forces,
which expected to fly into Vienna, cannot land.
Also no American or British ambassadors can
enter the city until we recognize the Renner
government.
Under the Yalta agreement, no government
was supposed to be set up in liberated countries
without consultation by the Big Three. There-
fore, the United States and Great Britain are
now asked to recognize a government which was
established without ' their knowledge and in
violation of an agreement which they thought
was binding. Certainly the United States tried
to carry out the Yalt agreement when it came
to stopping on the threshold of Berlin.

I'D R4TH.ER; BE RIGHT:
Russi4.mPolicy
By SA1 JEL GRiFTON
WE MUST begin to think about relations be-
tween Russia and the West, a a whole. It
does no good to think in terms of individual in-
cidents any longer. There are too many inci-
dents.
The incidents flood the wires, drench the pap-
ers. They are the kind of incidents which would
happen if hope of unity had been given up, and
if it had been decided that the Soviet world
and the Western World are going to be two
worlds, divided by a line on the map. Is it an
optical illusion. or is Mr. Churchill executing a
switch in policy, now that the war in Europe
is over?
He is arming and equipping up to 250,00
additional Polish troops, adherents of the Pol-
ish government in London. He has shown a
strange tenderness, for an interesting number
of days, toward the shadow Doenitz "gov-
ernment" of Germany, comfortably ensconced
in the Marine School at Flensburg. He has
ceased to growl about the Na-a-a-azis, and he
is growling against the formation of what he
calls "totalitarian and police" governments in
Europe. He talks about America and Britain
as sister governments, whose forces will go
about the world, arm in arm, setting wrong
right, but he does not mention the third
sister.
ARE THESF but shadows on a screen, the un-
* related phenomena of a transition period,
or are they more; are they reflections of a
hard core of policy, somewhere at the center
of events? As for us, in America, we have
cut off lend-lease to Russia, which can be
justified by the terms of the law; but the
British, whom we supply, are supplying a new
Polish army which is not intended for the
Pacific. We have become much more interested
in obtaining the friendship of such nations as
Argentina, rather than, say, of Czecho-Slovakia.
It is as if we, too, had been drawing lines on a
map, and cutting things up in our minds.
On the Russian side, also, there seems to be
a falling-back toward prepared political posi-
tions. A new government is abruptly trotted out
for Austria, a move that is not in the spirit of
coalition warfare, or coalition administration.
The Russians call out to us to hang the Doen-
itzes. But they do not seem to be killing Nazi
generals themselves. There is a dualism in
Russian policy toward Germany; it is as if
while they trust themselves to handle Junkers
and Nazis, they feel that, in our hands, the
only safe Hitlerite is a dead Hitlerite.
How much of this is due to Russian pessi-
mism regarding the chances for unity in this
world? How much of it has just happened, a
kind of disintegration, the result of action and
reaction, thrust and counter-thrust? This is
the way events do bumu along when hope of
unity dwindles; the dream of a unified world
gives way to a plan for a coalitional world,
which gives way to a line on a map.
T 'HE SHOCK of the moment is our discovery
that the end of the war in Europe poses the
question, not of what is to happen to Germany,
but of what is to happen to us.
One realizes now what a burden President
Roosevelt carried, and what it may have been
that killed him; how hard it must have been
to hold on to the high hope, through the
clutter of day-by-day events. This is the way
things happen when one lets go. The line of
conflict is always the line of least resistance.
One looks toward Washington, and wonders if
courage is there for another try, another firm-
ing-up. For if the end of this conflict is to be
only a line on the map, the shock around the
world will be enormous; and the effect of it
will be more weakening and more splintering
in the west than in the east.
