CHICAGO * BOSTON * LOS ANGELES * SAN FRANCISCO NIGHT EDITOR: MAL ROEMER Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. Laconic Cormmentary To the Editor: What a magnificent victory for the thinking students of Michigan. Over 9,000 strong rejected public government. -Ralph H. Neely Limited Discussion To the Editor: THE OTHER NIGHT, I attended a University sponsored lecture at Lane Hall dealing with the present political situation of the Dutch East Indies. Before presenting the speaker, the chair- man announc.ed that he hoped the group would ask such pertinent questions as "What are the Dutch doing in Indonesia anyway?" Upon the conclusion of the lecture, questions were put to the speaker concerning future Dutch control under the commonwealth system, what benefits the Indonesians had received under Dutch rule, why the Dutch refused to allow. the United Na- tions to investigate conditions in the Indies, and so on. As the chairman drew the meeting to a close, he tossed a verbal bombshell at his audience. He stated that some of the views expressed were definitely un-American, that the United States State Department followed Dutch pol- icy to a much greater extent than we thought. Ie then added that it was fortunate that there were no F.B.I. agents present at the discussion. I believe this action of the chairman was en- tirely unwarranted. His implied denial of free- dom of speech smacked of totalitarianism. A perfectly enjoyable and informative discusssion was spoiled by the coercive and intimidating atti- tude of the chairman, whom I later discovered to be a professor of the University of Michigan. I shall hesitate to attend any future discus- sions of any sort at the University, when one is made to feel afraid to speak freely, as happened the other night. -Howard Levy Doc's Advice Questioned To the Editor: I HAVE just read Dr. Brace's statement con- cerning the dangers of kissing and I hasten to write you to correct his false claims. With all Irnr Viewpoints W HEN FOUR of the keenest news analysts in the country get together to discuss "What Are the Real Issues Behind the Russian-Iranian Dispute?" one can expect shrewd insight into a highly important problem. William L. Shirer, Edgar Mowrer, Max Lefner and Louis Fischer fulfilled every possible expectation when they reviewed the situation Thursday night on the Town Meeting of the Air. Their .views on the problem are all-inclusive and valuable enough to pass on in summary. In the opening talk, Mr. Shirer explained the dispute as a manifestation of basic struggles between Russian and British imperialism and the Russian ideology and western democracy. This is not a new analysis, but in the light of Mr. Shirer's further views it assumes new importance. In Mr. Shirer's opinion, the western democ- racies are using the United Nations to promote their struggle against Russia. In this struggle, the western powers can always be sure of majority support - in voting. But, as he pointed out, this does not necessarily represent a majority of power. We can continue in this vein to see the reason for Russia's insistence on the veto power in the Security Council setup -power which she did not use in the Iranian dispute. We can also see that the faith and support in U.N. which Russia has expressed involves great moral courage on her part. M1R. SHIRER also emphasized the greatly arti- ficial nature of the Iranian dispute. He pointed out that a recent New York Times article speculated that the United States and other western powers may have purposely fanned the flames of the dispute, which was nearing peace- ful settlement anyhow, in order to arouse anti- Russian feelings and to strengthen our position in the U.N. When the conservative Times and the liberal Mr. Shirer agree on such a possibility, it is not to be lightly overlooked. As Mr. Mowrer sees the situation, it is an expression of Soviet imperialism. Since this imperialism is not justified in his opinion, by economic or political security needs, it can be explained only by Russia's "hunger for power" and a return by the Communist regime to the expansionist policies of the Czar. He said that the result of this insatiable craving is that "the Soviet Union is trying to build up its powers not only against its enemies, but also against its friends and allies." This is a severe accusation. "1 AM NEITHER pro-Russian nor anti-Russian, but pro-peace and pro-U.N." On that sharp keynote, Mr. Lerner led into his somewhat eva- sive interpretation of the dispute. (For Lerner fans: He made up for it by giving specific evi- dence and views on the matter during the discus-_ sion and question-answer periods later in the program.) His chief points were that the prob- lem is one of justice and peace - whether the great powers can adjust to each other's differ- ences. He suggested a special U.N. conference on oil resources. Mr. Fischer, who spent 14 years in Russia after the Soviet government was set up, offered the most unique and significant interpretation of the evening. As the last speaker, he brought the talks to an effective climax. According to Mr. Fischer, the real explanation of Russia's expan- sionist moves is the Russian dictatorship and tensions within the Soviet government and na- tion which express themselves in agression abroad. "Imperialism is the road to war," he said. All imperialism! Messers. Shirer, Mowrer, Lerner and Fischer differed in their analyses; they argued strenu- ously. But unanimity was complete on two points: Imperialism must be eliminated and a unity of cooperation and reconciliation must be estab- lished in the U.N. if peace is to be "in our time" and for all time. -Mal Roemer KICKS& C T THE IDEA of a permanent library of American folk music which has seized on so many campuses has made itself felt even here. A small, though exceedingly energetic, group of admirers (American folk music admirers, that is) on this campus have approached this writer with their plan for such a collection, and a re- quest for some consideration of it in this column. The first point these balladomanes bring up is the obvious entertainment value the songs themselves have, apart from any more eso- teric worth. After all, John Jacob Niles and Richard Dyer-Bennett both played to full houses here, and Burl Ives albums sell ex- tremely well, and many people, we are led to believe, take a great delight in listening to the practically unintelligible Josh White and Huddy Ledbetter. i THE LYRICS, too might come in for some exploration, they go on, perhaps along the lines of the work now being done by the Harvard and Texas faculties. Apparently, few of the ballads or chanties or whatever it is that's sung by these people, exist in any authentic or lasting form. It is when these devotees come to the money aspect of the whole program that they really turn interesting to me. The way they plan to meet the expenses for materials, artists and all, is by a series of concerts, some jazz and some straight American folk music. In other words, they would have the men who are actually to be recorded give a concert while they are here in Ann Arbor, using the proceeds from this to defray all the costs. Also, they mention jazz concerts, given in much the same manner as the Eddie Condon or Duke Ellington ventures in New York, again for the purpose of supporting this library. Well, there is their plan, and there the matter rests. Comment, it need hardly be added, is invited. -Lex Walker due respect to Doc Brace and his profession, I feel nevertheless that the real truth should be- come common knowledge. 'Trench mouth," or in scientific language, Vin- cent's angina, is not communicable, and kissing, the one common method of expressing one's feel- ings will not spread the disease. Nor is it neces- sary to boil the dishes which a patient with Vincent's has used. It is my suggestion then that the dancers en- joying the strains of Bill Layton and his band, and couples communing with Nature in the Arboretum should put "Trench Mouth"ifar back in their minds and enjoy themselves to the ut- most. -James C. Berry About Tennis Courts Surprise! We aren't going to gripe about Paula Brower and Templeton or student government. But we have got a gripe, and it's one we hold in common with many others. What has happened to all of the tennis courts on campus? Of all the courts scattered in various places, only four are in fit condition to be played on. These are the ones on Palmer Field and every day at every hour there are at least ten persons to each court-all very eager to whack a few tennis balls. While the bickering over who is going to use the court goes on, the clay courts there remained locked and empty because the University hasn'' yet decided to roll them. These aren't the only courts being allowed to go to pot; others are al- ready in such a state that practically whole wheat fields are growing where once tennis rack- ets gave out with their lovely "pings." We've got the courts. Why isn't something done about get- ting them back in shape? -Betty Goldstone Anne Serota BOOKS THE POWER AND tTHE GLORY by Graham Greene. Viking Press, New York, 1946 reprint. 301 pages. A BRAVE COWARD, the "whiskey priest," is only one of many executed in the persecu- tion of Catholicism in an obscure Mexican state. The power and the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven comes home to him, however, with the intensity of the Mexican heat during his stand against the attempted destruction of the Church by the state. He is a weak man who through his weakness comes to know what his religion means. The contrast between himself as priest before the persecution and himself as a fugitive priest illegally continuing to administer the rites of the church provides the contrast of false religion and true religion. His tenacity in refusing to surrender to the police, or go away entirely, as all the other priests have done, reveals the power of his faith. The book is dramatically sound. Greene in- troduces his main character only shortly before the capture, and thus makes the reader feel the pressure of the hunt immediately. He sets the problem in the first chapter by letting the reader see the priest through the eyes of a derelict dentist. He closes the book with the feeling of the dentist at seeing the execution of a man he has seen but once. At intervals throughout the story, he shows the priest through the eyes of others who represent the forces in conflict. The experiences of the priest make him grow in understanding of the people and of God. This growth is shown in his thoughts. Although he gradually loses all the symbols of his priestly office, his faith clarifies in the crisis. Ile becomes the sign that it is impossible to crush the spiritual force of the church. Perhaps the most effective quality of the book is its ability to sustain the mood of despairing desperation, with the atmosphere of unrelenting heat, dirt, and decay. Greene can settle on small details to show the singularly unappetizing qual- ity of life among the Mexican poor. For example, the Judas of the book is a half-caste whom Greene shows to be disgusting by continual refer- ence to his two yellow teeth, and his habit of scratching his armpits. The weakest aspect of style is Greene's tendency to explain what he has made obvious in conversation, while his partic- ular talent is his ability to show strong conflict in a seeming nonentity, and in a situation ap- parently empty of drama. The Power and the Glory was first published in the United States in 1940 under the title of The Labrythine Ways, --Martha Bradshaw * * * * ' Cranston, Ruth The Story of Woodrow Wilson.

Today as we enter Passover week with its Gol- gotha, it might be well to ask our- selves whether the seeds of peace or of war are being sown. In Asia, Christian England ise baffled by Hindu-Islamic India. C In China entrenched military leadership with wealth is met by an agrarian movement determin- s ed to hold every inch they have C gained by fighting Japan in the t north. The British with oil con- t cessions which enable them to sus- tain their Empire and make the Mediterranean an English lake, arc halted indirectly by Russia asking for similar concessions. Companies from America, still pressing their free enterprise to the point of in- sult and the poisoning of public opinion against the Soviets, play the waiting game of getting con- cesions and holding them while our State Department must carry the onus of every faulty diplomatic step. In this situation, the Iran- ians, that Persian people, descend- ants of the renowned worshippers of the Sun, look more like a lamb who before her shearers is dumb,t than like a people which had a history and a culture a thousand years B.C. THE scholarly neighbor who con- gratulated us in 1920 might tell the war wives that those children ir their arms will settle these oil di- putes with B-29s and bombs in 196 unless the deep spirit of deliverane kept alive among the Jews by Pass- over sentiment and among the Chris- tians by Good Friday can be movd from personal sentiment to social purpose, from purpose to social prac- tice and advanced to governmental habit on a world scale. How well is religion teaching its lessons? Here we are more than 3,000 years beyond Moses and hisI codification. Yet the initial law, "Thou shalt have no other God be- fore me" has not yet been taken seriously. Oil not goodness is God. Atomic energy as military advant- age, not productivity, is worshipped by more nations than worship the God whom Jesus addressed, pray- ing: "Father, forgive them (my ex- ecutioners) they know not what they do." EVEN our religion, fundamentally a uniting factor, seems set tc divide us. We all know that the viru Anti-Semitism ate out the heart o great Germany and cursed Italy, yet in America, we Christians will go onc way to worship while our Jewis neighbors go another. The seasone devotion, determined religious prac- tice and loyal family life of the Jews are not appreciated by the Chris- tians, nor have we millions of Chris- tians in any nation making a com- munity wide celebration which an- nually woos Christian youth to good- will for our spiritual ancestors such as Hosea, Amos and Jeremiah. If we are not divided by the divergence of Passover and Good Friday, we divide our communities by being Catholics and Protestants. Finally we are ad- vised that in greater Detroit fully 1,200 self-ordained pastors, as part of the desire to find salvation in democratic fashion, are dissenting from all ecclesiastical establishments but seeking economic alliance by means of America-First emphasis. University students, your task is to take over a humanity in whose spir- itual dynamic and social structure your parents have failed. Can you make the fundamental needs of a sacred solidarity, a unity, a must in the life of nations, races and peoples or reduce surface divergence to its rightful secondary role? Can you produce in Religion another United Nations in which Hindu, Mohamme- dan, Jew and Christian can estab- lish a socially operative religion for peace? To thrust our statesmen into a United Nations dedicated to high purpose is a step in the right direc- tion; only if those statesmen can rise to the stature of prophets, saints, and saviors. To such a goal, every University man, at Easter, might well dedicate his soul. -Edward W.
