DR. BARON INTERVIEWED:
Cites Immigratioia Probl iii

and an affidavit as to character
from a friend in Milwaukee.
"The situation would be somewhat
alleviated if Congress were to extend
the unused balance of the 1945-1946
quota, combining it with the 1946-
1947 quota. The anti-alien move-
ment in this country, however, is
strong enough to prevent any liberal-
ization of our immigration laws or
to allow the combining of the resi-
dual of this year's quota with that
of the nett fiscal year.
Truman's Gesture Praised
President Truman, however, did
make a fine gesture; which ought to
be emulated by the British Empire
and Latin American countries who
need and can accommodate displaced
Europeans.
"Australia realized its lack of man-
power when invasion of that conti-
nent by the Japanese army appeared
likely early in the war. Therefore, it
is in a frame of mind to takesome
immigrant Jews, but not under a
colonization scheme. South Africa,
although it is able to absorb many
immigrants, would be unwilling to
accept many Jews. The Afrikanders
for many years have been permeated
with Nazism. New Zealand would
Fire Protection
Suit Adjourned
William Alfred Lucking's fire pro-
tection suit against the city, the
Board of Regents and the people of
Michigan was adjourned yesterday
for three weeks upon request of the
plaintiff.
Lucking brought suit last May
seeking to enjoin the city from fur-
nishing fire protection to the Uni-
versity without a lawful contract au-
thorized by the Legislature.

take displaced persons if asked by
UNO."
Dr. Baron named the Inter-Gov-
ernmental Commission or Refugees
or the Social and Economic Coun-
cil of UNO as likely organizations
which might take charge of the
problem of resettling DPs. "The
Inter-Governmental Commission,)
started by the League of Nations;
might be re-activated as an off-shoot
of UNO," lie said.
Bunyan Dance

Sold This Week

mal," to be presented from 9 p.m. to
midnight Friday in the Union Ball-
room, will continue on sale' from 3:30

bermen. Paul Bunyan, with his axe,

Decorations for the dance will con-
sist of a natural setting of pine
boughs and trees, according to Lee
Crail, chairman of the affair. In-
formality will be stressed, with the

means wear your jeans."
Crail has also announced that club
members will give a skit entitled "The
Shooting of Dan McGrew" during an

planned, various other surprises for
those attending.

Men Urged To
Sign for Spring
Orientation, Ai
University Needs
Volunteer Advisors
All men who have been on campus
one semester are urged by Chuck
Helmick, head of men's orientation,
to become orientation advisors for
the new group of men entering the
University for the spring semester.
Thus far, Helmick announced, only
seven men have volunteered for the
task through the Union, and 10 men
have been signed by the Veteran's
Organization.
"We need 50 men to do the job ade-
quately," he said, "and all who are in-
terested are urged to call the Stu-
dent Offices in the Union any time
this week and leave their names."
Arrangements have been made to
have veterans advise incoming groups
of veterans and civilians head groups
made up of civilian men.
Men who volunteer should return
to campus Feb. 24 to attend an intro-
ductory lecture to be given at 4:00
p.m. in Rrn. 107 Mason Hall by Prof.
Philip Bursley, director of the orien-
tation period.
Men who head orientation groups
will be given meal tickets for the pro-
gram which officially begins Feb. 25
and extends through March 1.
"This will offer an opportunity,"
Helmick said, "for all men to help the
University in a tremendous task."

SLOSSON :
Spiain Should
Be IkIIIse4
Equal S taus
"I do not believe Spain and Argen-
tina should be given an equal place in
the pormal political and economic re-
lations of other nations until they
reorganize their governments," Prof.
Preston Slosson of the history depart-
mnent stated yesterday.
However, he declared, I see no rea-
son why we shouldn't sell planes to
Spain which cannot be used for mili-
tary purposes.
'It is not probable," Prof. Slosson
said, "that Spain, which was the cen-
ter of Europe in the 16th century,
will ever again rise to such power.
Her strength is no longer essential to
waging war and she was the largest
European country to stay out of both
world wars."
Nevertheless, he claimed, no coun-
try is to small to be a sore spot and
Spain, or Argentina, could be the
cause of a third world war, merely be-
cause of its weakness rather than its
strength.
"For instance," Prof. Slosson cited,
"The first world war was started by
trouble in Serbia and the second in
Poland. Both are comparatively small
and unimportant countries. The
Spanish Civil War almost caused this
last war to start prematurely."
"Therefore," he concluded, "both
Spain and Argentina should be treat-
ed as countries on probation until
they become more democratic."
