Member, Associated Collegiate Press, 1945-46 NIGHT EDITOR: PATRICIA CAMERON editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. Daily Policy' THE so-called "policies" of The Daily are often subjects of campus discussion. They shouldn't be. The Daily, as a newspaper, seeks to present the news in an objective fashion and to represent campus opinion on local, national and interna- tional issues. Since there are almost as many opinions on campus as there are students, we feel that The Daily, itself, cannot take sides on controversial issues and still call itself a student newspaper. Nevertheless, you will find that definite stands will be taken on many important questions in The Daily editorial columns. These editorials are checked carefully for accuracy by the Editorial Director and are printed as representing the views of the writer. That is why in the masthead above this column we print the note: "Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only." We have more than 100 students on The Daily staff who are eligible to write editorials and who are encouraged to do so. A definite attempt is made to print editorials on both sides of contro- versial questions. This is not always possible as no staff member is asked to defend an argument in which he does not believe. This is where the entire student body comes in. Anyone is welcome to write a Letter to the Editor on any specific issue. We will be glad to print them providing 1) they are in good taste, 2) they are under the 400-word limit and 3) they are signed. On the news side, we attempt to give adequate coverage to all campus events. We invite sug- gestions for news stories and features, whether they be for the general news, women's or sports pages. In short The Daily is your newspaper, and we want to cooperate in every way possible to make it a live-wire, useful publication. -The Senior Editors Ike's Report THE PROBLEM of our relations with Russia is coming to a showdown in Germany. General Eisenhower's report of unrest among the German masses proves, in bluntest detail, that we have not resolved our relations with the Soviet Union. The report tells of attacks on American troops by youths and German soldiers, of murder and organized looting among dis- placed persons and of a grave food and fuel situ- ation. Eisenhower points up the cause of these diffi- culties in his statement that little progress has been made toward setting up central administra- tive machinery for Germany and that only a few problems have been solved by the Allied Control Council, for lack of unanimous agreement. It is not news that we and the Russians have been working against each other in Germany. We have made use of Nazis in the occupation be- cause anti-Fascists were considered Communists. The Russians in turn have openly favored the German Communist party, undermining the ef- forts of those parties which we consider "demo- cratic." The San Francisco ard London conferences By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON-Navy Day was a thrill for thousands here at home, but not for a mil- lion others going to seed on Pacific islands or twiddling their thumbs in Europe waiting for transportation home. Transportation has come to be the biggest bot- tleneck of the whole discharge system. And what burns me up is to see transportation squandered by officers while they are powerless to get home. Here are some illustrations: 11..A total of 650 German horses were loaded on the SS Stephen Austin at Bremer- haven for transportation back to Fort Riley Kans., the army's cavalry school. Many of them were race horses. Not onl did the horses take up valuable space on a ship which could I'D RATHER BE RIGHT: -and Now What? By SAMUEL GRAFTON WE SEE Europe as a moral problem; the Brit- ish see it as a hungry land. Thus, at a mo- ment when we Americans are torn by a debate as to whether to try for a world government, or for the world's greatest military and naval forces, the British public is torn by a debate on how to feed the Continent. There is vividly expressed, in this contrast, all the difference between the sweeping, or wholesale, view of the world, and the particular, specific, or what might be called re- tail view. It is not surprising, then, that the first Brit- ish reaction to the President's Navy Day speech on foreign policy is one of disappointment over the President's complete concentration on general principles. He stated many of these principles very well; but in the end they amounted to assertions that we Americans are a people of good character and high purpose, animated by hatred of tyranny and belief in freedom. All this is true; no one seriously doubts it; in fact no one has even raised the issue. What the world wants to know about us is how a nation of good character and high purpose in- tends to act on the questions presented by Ger- many, Japan, Spain, Palestine, Argentina, etc., etc. * * * PERHAPS a consciousness that the ocean is still three thousand miles wide lives on in the delight we take in generalities. For with few ex- ceptions (such as the Christian Science Monitor, and Mr. Walter Lippmann) the bulk of Ameri- can agencies of comment have tagged right along with the President, engaging ecstatically with him in a discussion of unchangeable axioms and eternal veraities. But, according to press dispatches, the Brit- ish want to know whether we are going to help police Palestine. What do our eternal principles say, specifically, about that? How are we go- ing to reconcile our unalterable stand against unilateral decisions, with our unalterable be- lief that we must have the final word over Japan? What happens when an irresistible verity meets an immovable axiom? THERE is nothing wrong with our principles; we would not be Americans without them, and we must use them as guides. All right, where do they guide us? It is on this point that the President's speech says extraordinarily little, and it is to be noted that while we Americans have been debating the question of whether the President is right or wrong, the rest of.the world has been discussing an entirely different ques- tion, namely: what, if anything did he say? For the world is not general, the world is sadly specific; and it is perhaps always better, in national as in human affairs, to have the world deduce what our character is from our actions, than to make it try to guess what our actions will be from a declaration concerning our characters. If we should offer, in the name of world coop- eration, to throw every international question into the areana of world discussion, including all Latin American and Japanese problems, the world would very quickly deduce that we stood for world collaboration and world unity. If we were to make it clear that there is no place for Generalissimo Franco in the postwar period, and that we accent our responsibilities in Palestine, the world would know at once how we stand on punishing fascism ahd relieving its victims. It is because we do not act that we have to tell the world, and ourselves over and over again, what we are. But such speeches never really fill the gap; the world listens, and, next morning, comes to itself, and asks: Yes, and now what? And now? (Copyright, 1945. N. Y. Post Syndicate) have carried G.I.'s, but an airplane-load of brass hats flew across the Atlantic from Fort Riley to make sure their, steeds got safely aboard. The boys who loaded the horses re- inained on in Germany. 2. Last week-end, fop Air Transport Command officers gave No. 1 priority for three Army planes to carry football personnel from Nashville to Washington. Of course, this was in connection with the ATC football game, but the boys sitting on Eniwetok or Saipan can't enjoy football, and airplanes could help to bring them home. (Many combat veterans discharged from Fort Lewis, Wash., have to ride 3,500 miles in day coaches.) 3. The other day a Liberty ship, the Connie L. Kluxton, arrived in Baltimore from Germany bringing only 47 soldiers but 15,000 tons of sand ballast. It's true that Liberty ships are not equipped as troop-carriers, but soldiers don't care much how they travel if they are coming home. 4. Down at MacDill Field, Fla., Col. E. G. Simenson used two big cargo planes on a trip to his home in North Dakota to shoot pheas- ants. One of the planes was used to fly to the rescue of the other when the first went bad at Terre Haute, Ind. The Colonel even carried a jeep inside the first plane to scare up pheasants after he got to North Dakota. Col. Simenson had been in Europe for a long time, his parents live in North Dakota, and no- body would begrudge him a visit home-espe- cially since General Marshall and Gen. Hap Arnold also flew to shoot pheasants. But the thing that brass hats don't seem to realize is the effect all this flying around in big planes has on the men who would like to use those same planes to fly home. Until rank fa- voritism is eliminated, the generals will have a hard time building up the new 4,000,000-man army proposed by George Marshall-unless Con- gress rams it down the G.I.'s throats. 10,000 Crusoes e ENIWETOK atoll in mid-Pacific is just two miles long, one-half a mile wide. On it are crammed nearly 10,000 U. S. sailors and Marines, falling all over each other, sitting on the beach, hunting shells, waiting, waiting for ships or planes to take them home. On the island, SeaBees are building a 3,000- man laundry, though no more than 500 men will ever be stationed on Eniwetok in piping days of peace. They are also building a 3,000-man ice- cream plant, a gigantic garage, a huge hospital, and luxurious Quonset huts for senior officers, with flush toilet. A conference of officers was held the other day to encourage men to join the regular Navy. A senior Annapolis officer gave a pep talk. Among other things he said: "Any enlisted men who does not wear a complete uniform at all times will be put on 14 days bread and water." (This after they had been allowed to wear any type of clothing for 19 months. Witness Mac- Arthur's and Halsey's open collars.) (Copyright, 1945, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) I. I By BILL GOLDSTEIN We feel that anything said along the line of . . "it's a long, hard grind so buckle down" . . . or . . . "do your work now and you can have fun in your junior or senior years" . . would be superfluous. We're almost certain that the freshmen have that Party Line thrown at them from the very time they hook a finger on a dean's teacup, until they suddenly receive the urge to find out about the other half. In case you are a freshman male, the figure is not "half", but rather "three-fourths". If you are a freshman coed, the figure is "one- fourth". We decided to tell the freshmen the things that they would like to hear. Our information isn't or- dinarily found in any of the local propaganda pamphlets;it's the sort that's usually confided with a knowing leer by an upperclassman who knows most of the ropes and all the "NOTS". The most comfortably convenient meeting for the men is arranged by inserting an advertisement in the "Daily" to the effect that Mr. Joe Frosh will receive visitors from 2 to 5 Sundays. The only thing that makes this method a sure bet is the way that the coeds outnumber the men. It's a bit more complicated for the socially inclined coed. We have noticed that for the past few years the girls have been ganging up on the men. They rig up some sort of communal venture, politely labeled "open house," and bend all their ef- forts to attracting the wary male. The girls usually have a coalition agreement wherein they subscribe to a hands-off policy until the exits are locked and bolted, and then it's every man for herself. These projects are usually held in appropriately cavern- ous halls such as are found in the dorms. It's always a problem to enter- tain a date in Ann Arbor, and it's expensive, too. We can remember taking a girl out on a coke date once and running up a thirty cent bill. We don't remember how much hers came to. There is of course the Arboretum as a first resort, and the local cinema as a last. You're a fool to take her out eating. The Michigan freshman coed gives but occasional thought to her sylph- like figure and is notorious for eat- ing like a horse, especially if some- one is footing the bill. The few elementary suggestions outlined above ought to be enough direction to the enterprising fresh- man to guide him on to the straight but not so narrow. We are confident that when used as a "chaser" for the "keep your nose to the grindstone" advice, our directory will be as valu- able as a collection of last year's psychology notes and quizzes. Jimn Crow THE Lynn committee to abolish se- gregation in the armed forces is not a new organization, but is one which now that the war is over de- serves to be given recognition by all who feel that the ideals for which the war was fought should be practiced Such men as Carey McWilliams one of the leading proponents 01 racial equality, A. Philip Randolp and George S. Schuyler are sponso, of the committee currently engagee in the defense of George L. Haney. Chicago negro now in Cook Count3 jail because he refused to take ar. oath in a service which discriminates on color grounds. The committee writes, "This is the army and navy that not only defeated the Nazis, but was pledged to stamp out the Nazi 'racial theor- ies' as well." But in these services, 25 negroes lost their lives, not by enemy action, but by other Ameri- cans, civilian and military. The main function of this commit- tee has been to provide much-needed legal assistance for the victims of racial discrimination in the armed forces. Its past work and continued purpose is commendable. -Jeanne S. Cockburn Publication in the Daily Official Bul- letin is constructive notice to all mem- bers of the University.

On Nov. 5 and subsequently in Angell Hall. today in Monday, Room 25 CINEMA THE Art Cinema League, always a welcome fea- ture of campus life, starts off the new season with a Russian spectacle, "1812," based on a portion of Tolstoy's "War and Peace." As befits its subject, Napoieon's invasion of Russia and the famous retreat from Moscow, the film is a huge, sprawling one. It is saved from artistic failure by a magnificent por- trayal of Marshal Kutuzov by A. Dykki, and a number of gem-like bits that make it an in- triguing evening of cinema. Since I'm one of that vast body of illiterati who have never devoted a summer to reading Mr. T.'s opus maximus, I can't vouch for the film's literary fidelity. But judged by itself it is un- doubtedly a praiseworthy historical drama. Technically, the Russians haven't yet ap- proached Hollywood. The Battle of Borodino too often resembles a monstrous football scrimmage, and the photography is too often repititous. In the wake of the famous New Yorker car- toon on captions for foreign-language films, I might observe that the high-point of "1812" occurs when, after a devastating five-minute storm scene, the English sub-title observes, " .. . and then the real frosts set in." An accompanying short subject, "Leningrad Music Hall," was the most solid hit of the eve- ning. It presented a series of delightful musi- cal specialities, topped off with excerpts from "Rigoletto" sung in Russian.
