College Publishers Representative 420 MADISON Av. NEW YORK. N. Y. CHICAGO - BOSTON *"Los AGELES- SAN FRANCISCO Member, Associated Collegiate Press, 1945-46 NIGHT EDITOR: ANNETTE SHENKERT Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. Direct Parallel . . HEARST NEWSPAPERS in 1898 throbbed with. war hysteria, premature announcements, toreador's tactics that culminated in the Span- ish American War. For at least three weeks now, Hearst columnist Walter Winchell has scared the public with the announcement, "the third world war is on, from Greece to Manchuria ..." Drew Pearson has produced Trieste as a po- tential Sarajevo. All the elements are here- a waning empire that sees its last chance in war, an economic system on the defense, mil- lions of men under arms, statesmen who get "tougher" daily-and now the opinion ma- chines. In 1938, when there were enslaved peoples to be liberated, principles to be defended, the "in- terests" were on the pacifist side; so much was lost by the postponement then, that the terms "millions of lives", "millions of dollars" are al- most meaningless today seven years later. It was not so in 1913, however. Then as now, there were plenty of people anxious to talk the world into a war. -Milt Freudenheim Disabled Vets.. . ONLY ONE-NINTH of all disabled veterans who are applying for jobs are finding them, says General Omar N. Bradley, chief of the vet- erans administration. Gen. Bradley emphasized his statement with facts and figures saying that in August 1944 placements and applications for jobs for the disabled veterans were about equal. By June 1945 twice as many handicapped veterans were applying for jobs as succeeded in getting them. By November it was five times, and the figure is now nearly nine times as many. Finally in January 1946 nearly 52,009 handicapped vet- erans of World War II applied for jobs while only a little over 6,000 got them. Strikes and reconversion processes can account for some of the obstacles to the finding of jobs by disabled veterans. Yet we cannot be so opti- mistic as to think that with the end of the Gene- ral Motors strike and others that these industries will absorb the 46,000 disabled veterans who ap- plied for jobs in January and did not get them. The percentage of unemployment among the disabled will go down, but will it go down enough? What can be done if it doesn't? E NGLAND has instituted a law that partially eliminates the problem of employment for her disabled. This jaw will be enforced next year and will require many types of industry to hire at least two per cent disabled or crippled veter- ans. This is to be two per cent of the entire per- sonnel of the industry. The law is enforceable by fines and is designed to pr6vide employment for all those disabled who are in any way em- ployable. Thus, England has done something about the problem of her disabled in the post-war world rather than leaving it up to the personal policies and obligations of private industry. Gen. Bradley's statement implies that the United States has not assumed this obligation to her veterans. Within a few weeks new figures will be com- giled from industries now functioning again ZCellen o lu &f1o Dear Sir: THIS concerns the letter written by Mr. Carl B. Kaufmann, which appeared in The Daily of March 13. It is unfortunate but not too important that the Youth For Christ movement cannot make its posters pleasing to the eyes of some indi-. viduals or receive its contributions from the "right people." The point to consider is that YFC rallies are conducted in the atmosphere of a Saturday night party with mainly an emo- tional appeal to be "saved." Some are much the same as old fashioned revival meetings complete with insistence on enthusiastic sing- ing and a few corny jokes to help improve in- terest. The desire to decrease delinquency in the teen-age group is commendable, but sure- ly the members of this group are old enough to learn some of the facts of life and deserve more than Youth For Christ has to offer. The old concept of faith without works and of a simple way to salvation is dead. There is no simple or easy way. The way to being a Chris- tian is often as difficult to follow and it re- quires discipline, thought, and action. The idea that it is only necessary to believe and accept can lead people to a great many un- Christian actions. For example, there are some fundamentalist members of the clergy in this country who even go as far as to praise the Ku Klux Klan and the America Firsters in the name of the church, and then there are the clergy in some more backward countries who, while being fairly well-to-do stand for the status quo and console the poor by telling them that their re- ward will be in heaven. There are countless church laymen who believe that the best thing in life is to be saved. What about service? 1t is not enough to believe. It has been said that a inan cannot be noral and live in an immoral society, but it is cer- tainly true that society can be no more moral than its members. It is the church's job to in- terpret, instruct, and inspire. Consideration of the present selfish national attitude and the selfishness of a great variety of groups and in-. dividuals will show that it hasn't been too successful in promoting Christian ideals. Some people are too busy to be bothered with be- ing unselfish and developing a moral code and a creed. Some don't realize what the church can do for them if they meet it halfway. A great many don't know any better because their parents did not see fit to include religious edu- cation in their childhood training. The trouble with Youth For Christ and others is that in preaching the old fashioned religion with a literal interpretation of the Bible, they not only fail to put across the teachings of Jesus, but they disgust thousands of thinking men and women, who unfortunately identify the Christian Church with out-dated, fundamen- talist concepts. That part of the church which has a workable program for the personal, local, national and international application of Christian ideals should receive the active support of everyone. How else can this world be made a fit place in which to live? ---Don Ervin MERRY-GO-ROUND: Good Appointment By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON-There has been so much Sen- ate furore over President Truman's Pauley- esque appointments that one official quietly took the oath the other day almost unnoticed. He is o. Max Gardner, ex-Governor of North Carolina, now Under Secretary of the Treasury, an early planner of the New Deal, but first and foremost a friend of man. Max Gardner came to Washington in 1933 with the Roosevelt Administration. When he- arrived, he did exactly the opposite of Ed Paul- ey. He opened a law office, but simultaneously he resigned from the Democratic National Committee. Politics and a personal law prac- tice, he felt, did not mix. If Ed Pauley had done the same, no important voice would have been raised against him in the Senate. Before he came to Washington, Max Gardner, then Governor of North Carolina, had come to know Franklin D. Roosevelt, then Governor of New York. And, on July 22, 1932, just after Roose- velt's nomination, Gardner wrote him a letter suggesting the New Deal and setting down with amazing foresight the left-of-center policy which Roosevelt later followed. Devises New Deal "It is my opinion," Gardner wrote FDR, "that the American people are on the move, and I firmly believe that your liberalism, if you go far enough, is bound to have a stabilizing effect in its appeal to the ultimate hope of the nation. If I were you, I would become more liberal, because I tell you the masses are marching and if we are to save this nation, it has got to be saved by the liberal interpretations of the sentiments now ruling in the hearts of men. "I am satisfied that we are in the day of a New Deal and that many of our preconceived ideas and formulas are going to be thrown into the discard. We are more than blind if we can think the American people will stand hitched to the status quo. "The camp fires of the past are being aban- doned and the frontiers of thinking have ex- CORt tmepAial THE prime comedy of errors of the past year ended yesterday. President Truman withdrew the nomination of Ed Pauley to be Undersecre- tary of the Navy. It should be made clear at the beginning that Ed Pauley is no great man in my life. Maybe he's as crooked as Ickes claims. You could search the entire country and not find many oil-men who didn't have a little dirt on their hands. There were, however, other important consid- erations in the fight against Pauley's confirma- tion. As far as those considerations are con- cerned, the American people draw a big round egg . . . they never did see the ball. In the first place, Harold Ickes emerged from the fight as one of the "foremost progressives in the United States. He has been mentioned for a top post in the PAC. He has been suggested as the liberal candidate for Governor of Illinois. I submit that all of this glory for Harold Ickes is completely undeserved. He has emerged from the Pauley battle, as was noted above, with a great amount of fame. He was, so it is said, a martyr to his own honesty. That's nonsense ... Harold Ickes was a mar- tyr to his own desire to be a martyr. For forty years he has been trying to squirm to a high spot on the political cross and there drive a spike through his own chest . . . all the while screaming: "Look what they are doing to me!" Congratulations Harold, you finally made it. NOBODY in the world but Ickes would be so smugly proud of having been guilty of an act of common honesty. There are probably a dozen people in any drug store in the country on Sat- urday night who would, and could, have done the job as well as Ickes. All that you have to do is just sit up there and tell the facts. Does that take any great political sagacity, or any super- human honesty? It's not that Ickes is egotistical. As William James said about Bradley: "He's a very humble-minded man, but he's so much more humble-minded about his readers than about himself, that it gives him that false air of arrogance." That's Ickes too . . . he's certain that, in the entire world, there are no other hon- est men. He's also certain that, in the entire world, there are no other capable men. He has steadfastly op- posed the Missouri Valley Authority bill because his Dept. of the Interior would not have juris- diction. He and Senator Kenneth McKellar have been the foremost opponents of TVA . . . Ickes again because his department did not have con- trol. McKellar is the poll-taxer from Tennessee whose chief claim to our attention is that for forty years he has been Boss Crump's chief spokesman in the Senate. A strange bed-fellow for a progressive. Any investigation of Ickes' actions in relation to TVA and MVA will reveal one of the most irresponsible public servants in our history. There's one other thing that is rore im- portant than Ickes or Pauley. That is the way that this fervent crusade against Pauley man- aged to monopolize the attention of the liber- als. The big trouble with crusades is that they tend to exhibit more moral fervor than in- telligence, and this one was no exception. While we were defeating Pauley's nomination." Geo. Allen (a really questionable tool of big fin- ance) was approved as a director of the Re- construction Finance Corporation where he will exercise control over government lending to private indtry. The Army has almost achieved its purpose of getting control of ato- mic energy. The plan for peace-time military conscription has again gathered momentum. All of these things happened while we were watching Pauley. IT reminds me of a story that a friend of mine once told me. He had been a foreign corres- pondent in the Mediterranean area from 1918 to 1925 and described the tactics used by the fascists in Italy and in Turkey to seize power. They would announce that such-and-such had become a public issue; and then for several months they would headline it in the newspapers every day and conduct elaborate public opinion polls on the subject. Finally they would announce that the plan was being dropped because public opinion was against it. Two weeks later, when everybody had tired of the issue, they would quietly let it slide into effect. It's the old trick of crying, "Wolf". We should be smarter than that. We've just been allowed the emotional and moral satisfac- tion of rejecting a bad appointment, while much more important goals were being accom- plished without our notice. We liberals will some- day learn that it's never safe to turn our backs. -Ray Ginger tended beyond the limit heretofore held sacred by the conservative minds of this country." Down in his home state, some North Carolin- ians haven't always considered Gardner a liberal. One of these is Josephus Daniels, ex-Secretary of the Navy, who for years has attacked the "Gardner machine," which has appointed judges, elected governors and put Max's own brother-in- law in the Governor's Mansion and the Senate. SOMETIMES after Josephus had blasted Max ' with his most scorching editorials, Governor and Mrs. Gardner would invite the Daniels to dinner. Josephus would say Grace, they would forget the editorial blasts in the morning paper, and all would be pleasant-for the evening. (Copyright, 1946, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.)

The same request is made with re- spect to second-class mail-Life, Time, Newsreel, etc.-addressed to students and faculty. The increase in the bulk of mail now being received prompts this ap- peal. Herbert G Watkins', Secretary Students. College of Literaturo, Sci- ence, and the Arts: Saturday, March 16, is the last day on which new elections may be ap- proved. The willingness of an instruc- tor to admit a student later will not affect the operation of this rule. E. A. Walter Students, School of Education: No course may be elected for credit after Saturday, March 16. Students must report all changes of elections at the Registrar's Office, Room 4, Univer- sity Hall. Membership in a class does not cease nor begin until all changes are thus officially registered. Ar- THEATRE It was noted with hope that sev- eral members of the University ad- ministration were on hand last night to take a cue from the Junior Girls' offering for the year. Running through the difficulties of the re- turning vet in finding a place to live, the production ends happily to prove that "There's Room For All." The chief difficulty in producing a satire on college life is that with so much to satirize, the temptation to take it all in at one shot is often irresistable. Although the girls stayed fairly well within the lines of the plot, the obvious, yet unrelated mock- eries managed to creep in at times. In brief, the play opens with Dick, an unhappy vet, and Agnes, his wife, finding hope in an old buddy - the kind of a guy who can get it for you wholesale - who has a friend with an apartment house for sale. Buy- ing the house and moving in with two other couples, they settle down to bridge and study - only to learn that their next-door neighbor, the Bathtub Brewery, is about to take over the house. The conflict is final- ly resolved when another friend, a student of law, remembers an old case in whih it was ruled that a ten- nant cannot be evicted against his will. All this is very well, but unfortu- nately thrown in were the usual League House scene in which you know the girls are going to complain about food and men, the registration act in which you can be certain that a confused freshman and a cantank- erous professor will vie over the mer- its of an eight o'clock class, and a few more of this all tpo common sort. However, thanks to some clever song writing, an excellent solo by Rose Derderian, a cute number by Barbara Sisson, and an interpolated book store scene featuring manager Grabby, the general impression was good. Adding to the merriment, the gib- ing seniors, acting as claquers, sat on the main floor throwing pennies, giving the Bronx cheer, stealing coke bottles from the stage and creating scenes pleasantly reminiscent of Hellzapoppin'. With Justice... " . The colored people of the South are wards of the white people of the South... The quicker the poli- ticians of the nation realize that this countrytwill not survive unless we have white supremacy, the better off we will be."-Sen. Ellender (D., La.), -New Republic.
