Verein Justified ar THE RECENT FLURRY of criticism levelled at the Deutscher Verein in the "Letters to the Editor" column has an emotional tone which is rendered much less effective by an objective look at the facts of the case. The alleged "impassioned appeal" for relief for the "starving German children" consisted of reading aloud a front page editorial on fa- mine relief, which appeared in The Daily April 25. In no place in the editorial was a specific plea made for German relief. A collection of $1.65 was taken in a canister provided by the American Friends relief pro- gram, marked particularly for German relief, and this collection was duly sent to the Qua- kers. However, this took place at the meeting be- fore the one at which the "impassioned appeal" was made, and the canister for German relief was not even in the room at the latter meeting. The American Friends Society is carrying on their relief work in Germany, as well as in the other countries of Europe, with the express con- sent of the American government. Our govern- ment itself is spending $200,000,000 annually for the reconstruction of Germany. As for the statements that any veteran who has seen Germany would find the Verein's action an "insult to the campus," it may be pointed out that the Verein includes a good many veterans who have seen combat service in Germany and elsewhere. We may also mention that the club has contributed liberally from its treasury for the cause of general European relief. The president of the Deutscher Verein, Jim Trautwein, says, "The Verein has been un- willing from the first to make an issue of this matter. It arose, not from any policy of the club, but from a mis-statement of that policy by a girl who, according to the secretary's records, is not even a member. That subse- quent critics should have based their comments on this letter, making no effort on their own part to verify its contents, is a fact that speaks for itself." The Verein's critics might do well to remem- ber the many Protestant Christians under Pastor Niemoller who suffered in concentration camps during the Nazi regime, the millions of Roman Catholic supporters of such men as the Cardi- nal Archbishops of Berlin, Cologne and Munich and the Cardinal Bishop of Munster, who died a month after his elevation to the cardinalate due to the-strain undergone during the Nazi rule, and the milions of Jews still in Germany who are starving just as badly as the rest. Is it sug- gested that we should starve these people? We cannot reconstruct Europe without re- constructing every part of Europe, Germany included. If we allow the German children to starve now, then, and only then, will we be per- mitting the development of "potential storm- troopers." If we permit the cycle of hatred to continue, as it did after the first World War. with the Americans hating the Germans and engendering German hatred for Americans in return, the result will be a third war far more disastrous- than the last. The cycle of hatred must be broken, here and only here lies the hope for peace to come. -Frances Paine Possible Bases for Hope "Difficult as it is to maintain the beliefs that inspired the best men of the nineteenth cen- tury, there is, I still think, every ground for Prerequisite to Progress To the Editor: MOST PEOPLE seem unable to consider Russia and her role in the post-war world in a calm and rational manner. To fear Russia, even to hate Russia, seems to be the fashionable attitude these days. The press and State Department are doing little to alleviate the general hysteria and emotionalism, and in many cases succeed only in aggravating the situation. In times of semi-crisis, it appears no less than logical that understanding, not prejudice can lead us to the safest and wisest solution of our difficulties. Wild raving, of the kind offered by the changeable Winston Churchill and unen- lightened criticism of American foreign policy as printed in the Hearst journals and other re- actionary publications must be taken with a grain of salt if we are to gain an insight to the real issues behind the headlines. As soon as we realize that the Russians are keen enough to know a square deal when they see one and stubborn enough to fight for a square deal until they get one, we can expect to make some progress on the international scene. -Dorothy E. Kelmenson Blow to Minorities To the Editor: MASS ARRESTS, by the Federal Government, of conscientious objectors currently on work strike in their detention camps, provides a foretaste of what can be expected if the pro- posed "draft strikers" legislation is approved. It seems incredible that American citizens, guilty of no crime, could have been confined for three or four years in forced labor camps, under threat of imprisonment. Certainly no strikers ever made more reasonable demands; pay for work performed, compensation for disabilities incurred, and provision for support of their families. These men are legally civilians, and the un- popularity of their views should not keep any- one from realizing that their imprisonment for striking against the government will be a blow to the rights of every labor and minority group in the country. -Ann Chapman R. N. Re Strike-Draft To the Editor: INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, today, should have the attention of every American who is in- terested in achieving and maintaining indus- trial peace. A temporary solution has been pre- sented by our Chief Executive, President Tru- man. This solution is an attempt to meet but not solve the problem of workers striking against the government. According to Section 7, of the Strike-Control Bill placed before Congress on May 25, the President may induct into the Ar- my of the United States all workers who are on strike and disobey his order to return to work. Such authority is narrowed down to include drafting of "any person who was employed in the affected plants, mines or facilities at the date the United States took possession thereof, in- cluding oficers and executives of the labor or- ganizations representing the employes." Let us examine the significance of such a move. Merely by placing workers in the armed forces the President must believe that because of his position as Commander in Chief, the worker now converted to a soldier will obey orders handed down by him. To those of you who have served in the armed forces such an adherence to military authority based upon this supposition must seem folly. According to Training Manuals issued by the War Department Officers and Non-Com- missioned officers are expected to instill in their men a desire to voluntarily subject their will to the will of the leader. In the achievement of this objective, it is expected that military orders will be executed--and without hesitation. Is such a reaction possible when workers who strike against government-seized plants are drafted and made to return to work? I think not. Mass disobedience of 'military' orders would result In the end such a proposal would make the Armed Forces a penal institution. It is significant that the House of Repre- sentatives passed this bill on May 25 embodying such a provision 306 to 13; it is doubly important to note that the Senate eliminated the draft- workers provision on May 29 by a vote of 70 to 13. If 319 Congressmen and Senators agreed on the drafting of workers who defy a government re- turn to work order, look for this same proposal- and beware of it--popping up again the next time the nation gets excited over strikes affecting the public interest. -Joseph M. FitzGerald Subsistence Rules To the Editor: In connection with the article of June 7, en- titled " 'U' Vets Abide by Job Rules," I like to call to your attention that IT IS LEGAL FOR "The campaign literature of one Walter A. Kelley, Congressional candidate in Ohio's Demo- cratic primaries, pledges him to an unequivocal domestic and international platform: "To Keep Beer Flowing-Stop Appeasing Russia." -The Nation, June 1 A PERSON TO DRAW FULL SUBSISTENCE WHILE HOLDING A FULL-TIME JOB, pro- vided he is pursuing a full course of study (twelve credits at the University of Michigan) at the same time. -Fred Benjamin * * * * EDIO.SNOTE: Veterans Administrator R. S. Wadrop told The Daily that vets must sign a state- ment as to whether or not they will work full time before they become eligible for subsistence. Those who work full time are ineligible; those who falsi- fy the statement are libel to prosecution. Vetssare responsible for notifying the VA of changes in plans. 30 hours a week is the maximum set up by the Ann Arbor office, Waldrop said. Except in special in- stances as determined by the VA, more than 30 hours a week is considered full-time employment. R~emotes' W HEN T HIS COLUMN last appeared, there was an attempt to discuss the reasons for the threatened maritime strike in terms of the demands of the workers. But no discussion can claim to be complete if it stops at this point. Many people differ about the justice of the mari- time strike, because they have a more basic disagreement about the role and value of the labor movement in this country. The limits of ambition in this column must be to introduce some information which is not generally available, concerning the role which various unions actually play. For instance, there have been many charges about racial discrimi- nation by certain unions. Doubtless in some instances these charges are true, and the condi- tion should be corrected by the immediate en- actment of the bill for a permanent FEPC. But the seven CIO maritime unions which now threa- ten to strike have an emphatic policy for racial equality, and few groups in the country follow a non-discriminatory policy quite so vigorously as these unions. For instance, in August of 1945 the American- Japanese began to return to the West Coast. They had been excluded from their homes for nearly four years. They were strangers to the areas in which they had been born and had lived. Two of these Japanese obtained a job working in a warehouse in Southern California. A section of Local 6 of the Longshoremen was bargaining agent for that particular warehouse. This sec- tion of the union refused to accept the two newly employed Japanese-Americans as mem- bers, largely on the anti-Japanese charges made by their local president and business agent. The International headquarters of the un- ion conducted a prompt investigation of the situation, and within a week the two Japan- ese were working in the warehouse and that entire section of Local 6 had been suspended from the union. One month later the section was re-admitted, having fired the president and business agent who had caused the trouble. The union newspaper gave wide publicity to, this incident, and emphasized that similar acts of racial discrimination would not be tolerated. In March. 1946 a dispatcher at the National Maritime union hiring hall in Dallas, Texas sent a Negro to a ship which was due to sail for Jacksonville, Florida and then to New York. The other members of the crew would not let the Negro board the ship, and he was not aboard when it sailed. The union promptly put him on a train bound for Jacksonville. When the ship docked at Jacksonville, the entire crew was removed and a new crew, INCLUDING THE NE- GRO, was assigned to the ship, The NMJ attitude toward discrimination is clearly expressed in one of their publications in January, 1946. It says: "The NMU has pioneered in the fight against discrimination. It has shown the country that white and Ne- gro seamen can live together, eat together, and work together in harmony. NMU mem- hers have tried it and it works." Mere words don't mean much. This union statement doesn't mean much by itself. But when that statement is translated into action, so that it becomes a part of the daily lives of men . . . the words have acquired a new and living meaning. Throughout our society today the problem of racial discrimination is discussed. But most groups lack courage in the face of a concrete problem. Stores say that they would like to hire Negroes or Jewish people, but their customers wouldn't like it. Universities teach the equality of races in their sociology classes, and then set up discriminatory quota systems against the members of minority groups. The CIO unions are one of the few groups in America which have translated their words into action. Minorities are inclining more and more toward cooperation with the unions as a method of solving their problems. The main source of strength in the fight for FEPC has been the un- ion movement. This is one of the reasons why many Americans are deeply concerned about the future strength of the union movement. These people consider the unions to be the ma- jor force for democracy in this country. To many unions, as to these seamen, democracy has be- come more than a slogan. To the seamen, demo- cracy is a process. -Ray Ginger (Continued from Page 3) --------- counts will not be allowed to register in any subsequent semester or Sum- mer Session until payment has been made."'
