ECLINING to accept a chapter of the Red
Cross at Roosevelt College in Chicago, col-
lege President Dr. Edward J. Sparling said the
school cannot "lend its support in discrimina-
to#n of any kind." Sparling's action confirmed
lhe college student council which had voted
against accepting a chapl;er earlier.
Spaling whi said he had held off on this
subject during the war because he did not wish
tp affect blood donations, made his statement
i reference to a Red Cross announcement of
Jan. 21, 1942 which said "in deference to the
wishes of those for whom the plasma is being
provited, the blood (of negroes and whites)
' will be processed separately . . . " Sparling
skid that the separately processed blood was
then mixed by the army, to make one plasma.
The Red Cross stand was thus hypocritical.
Sparling said the decision "in no way negates
my realization of the great good that the Red
Cross has done for humanity, but there is a
rporal obligation upon the American Red Cross
ti ring its national policy into line with its
deeds of mercy."
''isanctioning a Red Cross chapter on
the Michigan campus, the Student Affairs
Committee might be accused of acting con-
trary to its policy in refusing to authorize the
fund to aid the families of General Motors
strikers on grounds that the Fund discrim-
mated in favor of one group against another.
--Milt Freudenheim
Foreign Policy
ALTHOUGH the State Department's indict-
ment of Argentina is to be commended, the
action brings home once more the deficiency
of our foreign policy-lack of consistency.
Less than a year has passed since the San
Francisco Conference. At the conference, Ar-
gentina, upon the insistence of the United States
aid over the protest of Russia, was admitted to
the family of peace-loving nations.
Now a State Department "blue book"
charges Argentina with complicity with the
Nazis in war and to provide a base for the
reonstruction of German aggressive power
while the homeland is occupied.
There can now be no doubt that the State De-
partment coveted Argentina for political and
economic reasons when the "Nazi base" was ad-
mitted to UNO at San Francisco. Prior to the
conference, Spruille Braden, then ambassador
to. Argentina, had warned of fascism in the
Peron government.
At the conference, Foreign Commissar
MYolotov cited charges of Argentine fascism
by the late President Roosevelt and Cordell
Hfull.
The State Department wants to preserve
Hemisphere Solidarity. Citizens of the United
States have more wealth invested in Argentina
than in any other Latin American country. Why
else was fascist Argentina admitted to UNO?
The State Department's "blue book" has

not added much to our knowledge of Argen-
tine fascism. It has only served to confirm
our suspicions further. If the Department
does not now see fit to read Argentina out of
TT'Nt( our foreigrn nnhic~v cannot ognly lip said

Secretary Ick
By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON-Two back stage developments
contributed to the resignation of Harold
Ickes, the turbulent, two-fisted "curmudgeon"
who has held office longer than any other mem-
ber of the Roosevelt-Truman cabinets and who
has been Secretary of the Interior longer than
any other man in history.
One factor was President Truman's statement'
in a press conference that Ickes had not con-
sulted him regarding the testimony he planned
to give the Senate regarding Ed Pauley.
Real fact was that Ickes showed Truman the
telegram he had received from Senator Walsh,
chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee, and
told the President that he would have to tell
the truth. Truman replied: "Yes, tell the truth,
but be as gentle as you can with Pauley."
Truman's public statement, therefore, that
Ickes had not consulted him, was interpreted by
the Secretary of the Interior as a public slap,
making further relations between him and his
chief difficult if not impossible,
Rooseveltiarns Rebel
BEHIND all this, however, is a growing dissatis--
faction among many Roosevelt men inside the
government. Many have expressed themselves
privately as fed up with recent Truman appoint-
'ments and with administration shilly-shallying
regarding the wage-price-strike picture.
The appointment of three White House poli-
ticians-Ed Pauley, George Allen, and Comoro-
dore Vardaman-to very high government posi-
tions has caused more inside criticism among
men of the Ickes-Wallace school than anything
Truman so far has done,
For many months, Ickes has been urged by
outside friends to leave the government. He
has had offers from radio networks and from
newspaper syndicates. One of his mor e recent
and most important offer came from liberal
groups (including the CIO's Political Action
Committee) to head up all liberal organizations
as a sort of Judge Landis for liberal politics.
It is now probable that this will be accepted.
ChiCago Conventionr
F OR many months a row has simmered behind
the scenes between Ickes and his cabinet col-
league Bab Hannegan, which, although quiescent
of late, was hot and stormy at one time. It has
now flared up again.
Hannegan's friends -now claim that Ickes' feud
against Pauley dates back to the Chicago Con-
vention which, after a hot fight, finally nomi-
nated Truman for vice president.
During the early days of that convention, Ickes
had come to Chicago pledged to battle for Su-
preme Court Justice William O. Douglas. Hanne-
gan, in turn, Azad come pledged to nominate his
fellow Missourian, Harry Truman.
Hannegan also had in his pocket a letter from
the President of the United States mentioning
both Truman and Douglas as men who would
give strength to the ticket. Roosevelt did not
give Truman any special preference in that let-
ter,
But before the convention opened, Ed Pauley
counseled Hannegan not to make the letter
r,

public. Instead, Pauley advised Ilannegan to
make an oral statement that he had a letter
from Roosevelt giving his endorsement to Tru-
man.
Hannegon followed this advice. He made an
oral statement that Roosevelt had endorsed Tru-
man and he did not make public the Roosevelt
letter endorsing both Truman and Douglas until
the Truman boom rolled up such momentum that
it could not easily be stopped.
That little strategy may have tipped the
scales of American history. If it had not been
for Ed Pauley's advice, another man might be
in the White House today.
Also, it definitely tipped the scales of friend-
ship between Ickes and Hannegan. Hanne-
gan's and Pauley's friends will never like Ickes
and it's more than mutual with him.

I'D RATHER BE RIGHT:
Glum Challenge
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
PREMIER STALIN'S new speech brings us the
not very remarkable news that he does not
believe in capitalism. Those who thought he
did have a right to be disappointed. But it is
straining anxiety to be upset because a man who
has been a revolutionary all his life, and who
heads the communist world, professes doubts
concerning the validity of capitalism. If he did
not have such doubts, it would be a legitimate
question to ask him what he has been doing
all these years. Obviously, Mr. Stalin has been
opposed to capitalism since about the time he
put on his first pair of long pants; and the
speech tells us only that he has not changed
his mind.
The question of whether Stalin likes cap-
italism, then, is actually a not very important
question; we can expect him to praise capital-
ism when western leaders make speeches prais-
hng communism. The really important ques-
tion which comes out of Stalin's speech is
the question of what his day-to-day attitude
is going to be toward a system which, he
thinks, is doomed to experience crisis, war
and death.
If (as Stalin believes, and as communists have
always believed) capitalism is decrepit, and torn
>y unsolvable problems, is it his intention to
cooperate with the about-to-be deceased? Will
he help it solve some of its problems, by co-
operation? Or will he give it a shove, to knock
the putative corpse over?
What comes out of Mr. Stalin's speech, with
its bleak and unfinished references to the
West, is the memory of some of the bitter
. communist debates of the past, including the
great Trotsky controversy, on the specific
question of how far communism may collab-
orate with capitalism; we tend to forget that
communism is torn by this question in the
same way in which we are torn by the question
of whether and how we can get along with
communism.
T HE answer probably is that the Soviet Union
doesn't know the answer; that it sees ahead
a future of struggle against us on one level, and
cooperation with us on another level; and these
are pretty much our own perspectives, too.
There remains in Stalin's speech, however, the
mocking and challenging note, a kind of declar-
ation that we of the west will be unable to solve
our problems, and that ultimately we will bog
down into panic and then war In the Soviet
view, if we are led finally, by our fears of the
expanding communist system, into war against
Russia, that will only be a fulfillment of the
prophecy.
There is, of course, one clear and final
answer to Stalin; and that is to make our wes-
tern way of life work. If we can achieve
prosperity and stability, Russia must collab-
orate with us, and the theorizing flies out the
window. It is plain that Stalin does not ex-
pect we will be able to do this; it is also plain,
from a reading of his speech, that it is not
our radicals whom he believes will disrupt us,
but our conservatives.
He expects that, in a sense, we will be defeated
by some of our defenders, that western conserva-

tism, unable to amend its ways, will continue its
old patterns of ruthless competition between na-
tions, of maldistribution of resources, of bitter
fighting for work and markets. From this point
of view, it is not the man who is for a full em-
ployment act who threatens the future of cap-
italism, but the man who is against it; it is the
latter upon whom Stalin is placing his Marxist
bets.

Attention All Students: Registra-
tion for the Spring Term
By action of the Conference of
Deans, all students are required to
register for the Spring Term at, and
no later than, the time announced in
the Registration Schedule. Late reg-
istrations will not be permitted by the
administrative authorities of the sev-
eral units, except in the case of vet-
erans who have not been in residence
for the Fall Term. Students must pre-
sent their identification cards at the
time of registration and must file
their registration material them-
selves, not by proxy.
The reason for this requirement is
the unprecedented demand which the
enrollment for the Spring Term will
make upon the educational resources
and the housing facilities of the Uni-
versity. Because of these conditions,
it is absolutely essential that regis-
tration and classification be com-
pleted according to schedule.

MUSIC

UNQUESTIONABLY one of the finest pianists
of our time, Artur Schnabel upheld his repu-
tation in the Choral Union concert last night.
Despite the bad weather and approaching finals,
the audience was large and enthusiastic.
The program began with the Bach Toccata in
D major which opened brilliantly but bogged
down considerably after the first few bars. Mr.
Schnabel seemed not to produce the effortless,
precise touch needed for Bach, nor did he give
the effect of overall evenness and balance which
is one of the most impressive qualities about the
composer's work. Instead, he concentrated on
pursuing melodic lines one at a time through
the fugue, resulting in the dominance ,of one
voice over another and the partial obliteration of
the essential fugue structure..
Continuing with a somewhat Chopinesque
interpretation of the Mozart Rondo in A minor,
Mr. Schnabel displayed his matery of the
clear, liquid tone which so well conveys the
grace and delicacy of Mozart's music. At times
the notes seemed like disembodied sound ex-
isting almost apart from any agent-the me-
chanics of the piano were apparently nonex-
istent, and the sound just was, as if it had had
no beginning in the striking of a key.
With the. playing of the Sonata in E major,
Op. 109, by Beethoven, the concert took on a
brilliant tone, and from this point on it would be
difficult to conceive of any quarrel with.the per-
formance. The Mozart Sonata in C minor (K.
457) was magnificently done with great sympathy
and precision, fulfilling any expectations which
anyone could have had in regard to either ar-
tist or composer.
The evening's high point was reached in the
Sonata in D major, Op. 53, by Schubert, which
was given a performance at once stirring and
technically marvellous. One the whole Mr.
Schnabel's performance was superb. iHe played
unaffectedly, with apparent effortlessness,
great control and precision.
-Paula Brower

Well, it has not been proved yet that man
cannot achieve prosperity under a free system,
a system of laws; but that is the challenge
contained in the dubious Valentine which
Stalin has handed us during this great and
gloomy period of the comparing of systems.
It would seem that a system which can defeat
fascism ought to be able to defeat insecurity,
and the thousand terrors of life in the side
streets. But we cannot answer Stalin merely
by answering him. Not on the airwaves nor
in the prints will the reply to the glum chal-
lenge be found, but in our hearts, as the world
looks to its relatively small cluster of demo-
cracies to say whether they can equate free-
dom with economic fulfillment.
