Letters to the Editor...
T HE STUDENT LEGISLATURE sized up
a semester's activities this week-and
was not altogether pleased with its findings.
Hearing reports from all its committees.
for the benefit of newly elected mem-
bers, the Legislature became painfully
conscious that many of its projects, the
Homecoming Dance, the Jazz Concert,
the Book Exchange and the coordination
of social events, for instance, had been
carried on by only a few of its 14 stand-
ing committees.
It was the first time that reports from
all groups had been given. Following the
procedure marked out when the Legisla-
ture broadened its committee system after
the November election "to increase the
scope of its activities", committee chairman
reported to the Legislature only when they
felt a report was necessary. Under this
system many of the committees have ac-
complished little; some have not yet met.
This stage of decentralization represents
the culmination of a sharp swing away

from what has been termed "one-man gov-
ernment." Last fall the Legislature in-
cluded 12 persons, headed by a forceful
leader. Charges of "one-man government",
intensified when the president promised,
redistribution of football seats in the name
of the Legislature, reseulted in a sharp fight
over the choice of his successor.
After the November elections, an ex-
panded Legislature chose, by a 20-18 vote,
a candidate charged with "one-man gov-
ernment tendencies". It then proceeded
to pass the committee system which in
effect deprived him of all power except
presiding.
The result is that a committee's activities,
or lack of them, are entirely dependent upon
a chairman whom the president cannot re-
place without majority approval of the en-
tire Legislature. Until this week the chair-
man did not even have to present reports on
what he had or had not done.
The shift in the opposite direction started
when the Cabinet decided last Monday that
chairmen will be required to submit written
reports at all future meetings. It went even
further when the original proponent of the
present system admitted that it had be-
come "extreme."
In two weeks the Legislature will choose
another president. It will be interesting to
observe on what platform he runs.

Sugar Rationing
THE PROBLEM of sugar rationing which
has perplexed and enraged housewives
throughout the country for months finally
struck the campus with the announcement
by Mr. F. C. Shiel, Business Manager of the
residence halls, of a change in government
regulations whereby any "person who lives
in an institutional establishment . . . for
seven consecutive days or more and who
takes eight or more meals a week there,
must turn over all of his ration books
containing stamps designated for the ac-
quisition of sugar to the institutional user
who operates the establishment." This
means locally that all residents eating at
their living quarters will be required to pre-
sent sugar stamp No. 11 before April 1 if
the residence halls are to be allotted sugar
by the government. And with this announce-
ment, a question is aroused in the minds of
the students involved which has confounded
Americans for many months: "Why must
we retain sugar rationing now, more than
a year and a half after the end of the war?"
For many months. Americans, inured to
the necessary rigors of wartime rationing,
have been told, first by the OPA and now
by the Office of Temporary Controls, that
sugar rationing has been necessary during
the past few years because: 1) During the
war, there was a shortage of shipping to
transport sugar from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and
the Central American republics where most
of our supply is obtained, and 2) Recent
crops of sugar in these countries have been
too short to adequately supply the demand
of the United States and Europe as well.
If these justifications of rationing were
completely valid, few Americans would have
cause to raise objections. Almost everyone
will agree that the government's decision to
institute rationing during the war so as to
save shipping was well justified, and only
the chronic complainers objected at that
time. Probably the majority of Americans
would even agree that if Cuban and Puerto
Rican sugar were really being sent to Eu-
rope to help relieve the acute famine there,
we could get along under a sugar rationing
system which has not, to be truthful, de-
prived us of sugar to any drastic degree.
Unfortunately, the second statement is
inconsistent, and has only to go to the local
grocery store to prove it for himself. On
the shelves, one can see row after row o,
canned preserves and jellies, sweet rolls,
candy, and practically every form of luxury
gcods made from sugar which were common
in the era of plentiful sugar before the war.
Yet the government recently announced that
no sugar will be allotted this summer for
home canning-a decision which is of cru-
cial importance to those who partially sup-
port themselves by growing and canning
their own food. One also hears that in-
dustrial users, which use tremendous
amounts of sugar (such as the soft drink
companies ) have no trouble in securing
their supplies. Yet, when the individual
home consumer goes to the grocery to buy
sugar for his own household, he is told by
the governmtnt through the rationing sys-
tem that he must hold his consumption to
the lowest possible point because of short
supplies.
Still another excuse, however, is raised
THE NEW international body which is
known for convenience as UNESCO is
a product of the widespread belief that only
to the degree that there is a world commun-
ity will world law be practicable and a world
political organization be effective. It is
the instrument devise! to help build that
community by working directly to mold
men's ideas. But in addressing itself to
that apparently beneficent task, it finds-
perhaps a little to its surprise-that it is
dealing with some of the most explosive
political issues r.ow confronting statesmen
and people...
...We begin with two world communities
in embryo. They now have one great com-
by the glib-tongued officials in Washing-
ton; that is, that sugar rationing has been
more necessary during the past two years
than now because of an abnormally low
supply in Cuba. But if this were true, why
do these same people support Sen. Flanderl
(Rep., Vermont), in his efforts to extend
sugar. rationing for another year when re-
ports from Cuba indicate a bumper crop is on
the way. These sam apologizers usually
suggest only an insignificant increase in
sugar allotments, to give the American con-
sumer the feeing that "at least we're gettinlm
some relief," but which is actually a blind
to cover up the true conditions.
These conditions are: 1) That reports
from Cuba reveal an oversupply of sugar
available for sale, 2) That there is unlimit-
ed shipping available now to transport this
sugar to the United States, 3) That there
is a tremendous consumer demand built up
for the sugar in this country. All of the
conditions thus exist for the exchange of
goods which would take place under the
free economy which most businessmen ad-
vocate so vehemently. One is therefore
prompted to ask: "Can it be that there are
certain groups within the sugar industry
that have succeeded in monopolizing the
market and creating an artificial scarcity
under the guise of rationing; have these
groups gone sour on the American system
of competition?"
These are some of the questions which
the president and Congress should examine.
If a selfish monopoly of the sugar interests
is found to exist, it should be prosecuted un-
der the anti-trust laws. Or, if there is a
real reason for sugar rationing, then it
should be made public, instead of attempt-
ing to force the public to swallow the pre-
sent weak explanations which contain so
many discrepancies. Furthermore, the time
for this examination is now. The present
act authorizing sugar rationing expires on
April 1, and there are a group of senators,
led by Sen. McCarthy (Rep., Wisconsin),
who propose that the present situation be
thoroughly investigated before any exten-
sion of controls is made. These senators
should be supported, so that, if this is just
another instance of vested interests con-
trolling the government policy for their own
ends, we may rid ourselves of these mon-
opolists, once again allowing supply and
demand to operate for the public benefit.

joinit Policy
By JOSEPH ALSOP
WASHINGTON. March 27-In the near
future, a serious effort is likely to be
made to reach a more detailed understand-
ing with Great Britain on joint world pol-
icy. There is still considerable uncertain-
ty as to how the job should be done-on
what level the discussions ought to be held:
whether they should be formal or informal;:
and whether the result sought should be an
unwritten agreement or something more
precise. Probably the same points are being
talked over in Moscow by Secretary of State
George C. Marshall and Foreign Secretary
Einest Bevin.
If one considers the matter calmly, reali-
zation of the need for an Anglo-American
understanding really had to result from the
brusque awakening of the Greco-Turkish
crisis. But after the post-war period of
political sleep-walking, the development sti'
comes as something of a shock. Eighteen
months ago, it was the British Government
that wanted such an understanding. It was
from London that messages came urging
that the Combined Chiefs of Staff be placed
upon a permanent basis. It was in London
that you could find general agreement on
the essential importance of a sensible, prac-,
tical sharing of world responsibilities be-
tween this country and Britain.
The reports from Palestine which have
recently been appearing in this space give
reasons enough why the old system of An-
glo-American cooperation has ceased to be
sufficient. Automatic or instinctive parallel
action by London and Washington was good
enough in the past. But it is not good
enough when this country and Britain are
working together to shore up such an eco-
nomically difficult, politically complex and
generally explosive situation as that in the
Middle East.
Under the circumstances, a plan of joint
action is obviously imperative. The thorny
Palestine problem must be settled. Programs
must be concerted for bringing economic
and political stability to the whole Mid-
Eastern area. And for these also the re-
sponsibility must be in common. In Iraq,
for example, this country can provide the
funds and technical assistance to restore
the irrigation system destroyed by the
grandson of Genghis Khan, and thus mul-
tiply the country's productivity almost five'
fold. But political arrangements will be
needed to prevent the benefits of this great
scheme from being monopolized by a hand-
ful of feudal land-owners. And these ar
rangements must be made by Britain as
the predominant influence in Iraq feudal
life.
There is no reason to be alarmed by this
belated realization that Britain and the
United States must get together. The ex-
pense to this country of its extended re-
sponsibilities will be immeasurably less than
some people are foolishly asserting-not onel
fiftieth of the expense of national defense
of a truly isolated America. Furthermore,
it can be taken for granted that the meth-
ods adopted for getting together will be the
most informal that are practical. What is
wanted is nothing savoring of an alliance,
treaty or the like. The object of getting to-
gether, in fact, will be for each country to
find out exactly where the other stands,
and how both can work together for the '
common good.

THE WELL DIGGER'S DAUGHTER.
Written, directed and produced by Marcel
Pagnol. Raimu, Fernandel, Josette Day.
French Dialogue, English sub-ttles.
THIS MOVIE is clearly a masterpiece
from every point 'of view. Employing
the usual French technique of mixing droll-
ery with emotion, it is most commendable
for avoiding the bathos to which this sort
of thing almost invariably descends.
Presented in an incredibly simple and
natural style, the story concerns a man's
struggle between his offended pride and
his paternal love. Raimu, in the role of
the father of the wayward girl, surpasses
all his previous accomplishments. The per-
formances of Fernandel, Josette Day and
Charpin are almost equally superb.
Although the film drags in spots, each
scene is filled with priceless dialogue, trans-
lated into the most adequate sub-titles pos-
sible, an unsatisfactory substitute at best.
The humor expressed in this dialogue is
warm and earthy and absolutely impossible
according to Hollywood's sophisticated moral
standards, a fact which calls for a deep
bow of gratitude to the inimitable French.
Letter-writers should have no complaint
to make to the Art Cinema League after
seeing this movie. In any language, it is
a MUST.

To the Editor: 1
T HE LETTER printed on March
23 under the caption "The t
Hare Plan Theory" tried to defend t
the Hare Plan from exactly that l
angle- theory. I am forced to a
admit that in tie theory it is aa
good plan. However, when look- t
ing at some of tle results of a
PR election it is very obvious that
it is a very ilnpractical, undemo-
cratic methd of election.
From it's name we are led toc
believe that each group of voters
who have some'thing in common-
race, religion, dormitory friends,'
economic beliefs, home town, etc.,"
-according to their number, are
given representation on the coun-
cil. In the last election on the
campus any group of 108 persons
could have elected a man to the
student legislature. However, an1
election should not merely be a
census of voters ideas and preju-
dices, it should not show all that
divides us, but all ,that -we have
in common. Too many candidates,
were elected by a small group of
fraternity brothers, etc., to fa-
cilitate a smooth-running council.
They are all looking out for their
own groups. In the recent elec-
tion eight members of the Rep-
resentative Party were elected. I
would like to know if 8 24 of the
student body belong to the Rep-
resentative Party. With this many
votes this one party holds just
about the balance of power over'
the 16 independents, Obviously
thlis is not proper.
Since I am limited in words I
will quote facts.
Tammany Hail (in New York)
was able to get a 23 majority on
the council under this system
which was brought into use to
put it out of business.
In Brooklyn in 1937 the ballot
was four feet long. Because of
this fact 103,601 did not even
bother to mark the ballot cor-
rectly for even one man. Others
became exhausted bring the grand
total to 252,238 (31%) votes which
did not influence the result in
any way. In this samve year Tam-
many, with 31% of the first choic-
es elected 50% of the councilmen
and the independents, Socialists,
and Communists (who are suppos-
ed to get representation according
to the PR theory) with 32% DID
NOT ELECT A SINGLE MAN!!!
Somehow PR defeated its own
purpose.
I could (and will in future let-
ter's) continue to attack this un-
desirable, undemocratic system.
Before I close I would like to
comment that the editors should
not give preference to any letter
(Bob Taylor's to be exact) which
was turned in days after others
(mine and Mal MacGregor's to
be exact). Since it referred to an
article printed in the Daily of the
22nd, Taylor's letter could not
have been written before that day.
However, my letter was turned in
on the 21st. Please be fair and
do not discriminate against those
who disagree with you..
I hope this letter is printed be-
fore the next election.
-M. Richard Fleischman
EDITORS NOTE: Taylor's letter was
printed immediately because he was
denying statements attribnted to him
ushel and selling them overseas
'r $.06 per bushel, and an Inves-a
igation into the Investigation of
Tn-American Activities.
I hope all serious-minded vet-
ran students will give some
hought to this matter.

FiscrepJanvies
To the Editor:
MR. JAMES M. HARDING made
an attack, more impassioned
han logical, upon my recent let-
er regarding P.L. 346. It scarce-
y merits a response, certainly not
a similar resort to personalities. In,
all fairness to the readers I do feel
the two letters should be com-
pared. The discrepancies are then
so apparent - as to reduce his
reasoning to absurdity.
For want of space I shall set
out only my second proposition
with his reply.
Proposition: REMEMBER THAT
MIANY OF THOSE FORMER
STUDENTS WHO PAID THEIR.
WAY BY DRAWING ON SAV-
INGS OR FAMILY ASSISTANCE.
OR WOPKED TO PUT THEM-
SELVES THROUGH, - TODAY
FEEL DISINCLINED TO SUP-
PLEMENT THE GOVERNMENT
GRATUITY FROM THESE
SOURCES.
Reply: NEGATION OF HIS SEC-
OND POINT. SAVINGS ARE NOT
TAXED. IF THE ASPIRANT
LAWYER WHITE IS AFAID HE
IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE
WELFARE OF STUDENT VET-
ERANS BY BEING ROBBED OF
HIS SAVINGS, THIS FEAR MAY
NOW BE DISPELLED.
Viewed in its proper context, one
naturally concludes that Mr.
Harding is shadow boxing. If
there is any correlation whatso-
ever, it is too refined for the
average person. Would I be too
uncharitable to suggest that Mr.
Harding return to grammar school,
where he might be taught to use
multisyllable words, perhaps even
to read.

Marx Society
To the Editor:
TN THE DAILY of March 22,
Thomas Brewer, publicity di-
rector of the Karl Marx Society,
was quoted as saying, "We want
to learn about Marxism, but we
want to learn objectively, We
plan to bring in speakers to talk
on Marx-on all sides." Assum-
ing that Mr. Brewer was quoted
correctly, we would like to ques-
tion his viewpoint! We agree
wholeheartedly with his remark on
objectivity, but his second sen-
tence does not seem quite consis-
tent with his expressed desire for
objectivity.
This organization was establish-
ed for the purpose of studying
the writings of Karl Marx, as one
studies the writings of Aristotle,
Virgil, or Browning. To accom-
plish such study, one does not
take "sides" in the same way,
when one studies the writings of
Marx, one does not select his
speaker from any particular e
"side," for to do so implies a
"for'im" and "against'im" atti-
tude. Instructors should be select-
ed on the basis of their familiar-
ity with and understanding of
Marx, instructors who are capable
of helping us also to acquire more
familiarity and understanding of
his works, as one selects an in-
structor for any subject.
If we have misinterpreted Mr.
Brewer's remarks, we apolgize
here, but we feel it is necessary
to point out the difference be-
tween a debating society and an
objective study group.

ULLIBILITY is one of the more humor-

concerns a newlywed's attempts to learn the
intricacies of household buying.
One of our married friends recently threw
a local butcher shop into a state of con-
fusion over a request for some "left hand
pork chops". Seems she had been informed
that pigs are wont to scratch for roots and
food with their right foot, thus becoming
more muscular on that side.

Subsistence
To the Editor:
WISH TO place myself, unre-
servedly, in the ranks of those
who are so skillfully presenting
their views, via The Daily, against
increased subsistence payments
to veteran students. It is fortun-
ate for the welfare of the country
that we still have men far-sighted
enough to anticipate the disas-
trous results of paying veterans
students more than $90 (or $65)
per month.
However, as John A. Clark states
in his letter in today's Daily, the
piesent subsistence payments con-
stitute a tremendous load on the
U.S. Treasury. Why shouldn't we
public spirited veteran students
take a step in the right direction
and press for new legislation to re-
duce subsistence payments? My
suggestion is a reduction to $25
per month for married students
and $15 per month for single stu-
dents. Think of the saving to the
taxpayer!
A saving of this size should al-
low the government to give a flat
30A reduction in income taxes to
those in the $10,000 and up per
year bracket. Larger sums of
money could be devoted to other
worthwhile projects such as arm-
ing Greece and Turkey, buying
U.S. surplus potatoes at $2 per
available for them. Applications
will be accepted only from women
whose academic records are now
clear.
Women students now on campus
may apply for supplementary
housing for the fall semester, 1947,
at the Office of the Dean of Wom-
en on April 1, 1947.
Students may apply for only one
type of housing.
