I'D RATHER BE RIGHT:
Self-Pampering
By SAMUEL GRAFTON.
A PHILOSOPHER (or a moralist) might, I
think, be a little worried about the nature of
a good many of the campaign arguments being
used today. Almost every election speech is an
appeal to passion, and perhaps has to be, but
some passions are higher than others. During
the recent meat panic, for example, the shoutier
Republicans made a straight appeal to the belly,
and to human impatience, which is not a virtue;
and certainly it is fair to say that their urgings
were addressed to the lower, rather than the
higher, centers of human motivation and con-
duct.
But what might most bother a philosopher
(or a moralist) is that nobody on the Demo-
cratic side took up the issue so raised, in
straight moral terms. It could have been
done, in a speech to the public, somewhat like
this: "All right, you may be without meat
for two or three months."
But the Democrats were afraid to ask the
public to make a sacrifice; they accepted the
belly-level, established by the opposition, as
the right level, and'they caved in. Nobody asked
anybody to behave with grace, or to give up
anything.
There is here a strange, self-pampering
something, almost unique, in the troubled
world today. It started a year ago, when we
dropped rationing about ten minutes after
the war ended. Ever since the last gun was
fired, our politicians have lived in terror,
feeling that any American who had to do
without anything, would immediately go into
a mad dervish whirl, and come out screaming.
Why should he? What right has anyone to
resent a shortage? Shortages and dislocations
are part of the price to be paid for winning
a war.
But the administration has acted as if the
economic consequences of the war were a kind
of scandal, to be hushed up; while the oppo-
sition has treated our impatience as a political
gold mine, and has worked on it, to make im-
patience more impatient. Our press has been
filled with pictures of juicy cuts of meat being
served in Canada (which has never dropped
rationing) and the upshot is that for the last
month we have all been living, emotionally, in
a butcher shop, amid the blood and slobber,
either licking bare hooks or drooling over sides
of beef; and perhaps it is time to get out into
the air again, and add a higher value or two
to the list of things by which we live.

1) The Walcott amendment to OPA required ceiling prices to reflect the cost of production
plus a reasonable profit on every item.
2) This was an amendment to the Patman emergency-housing bill which eliminated the pro-
vision in the original bill to provide for price ceilings on existing houses.
3) This amendment restored $400,000,000 of the original $600,000,000 subsidy for pre-fabricated
housing, which had been removed earlier.

To the Editor:
AS A MEMBER of the Communist party I
heartily endorse the attitude of Walt Hoff-
man in wishing to separate the position of lib-
erals from the position of Communists.
The Communist Party has always made every
effort to present its independent philosophy and
ultimate goal clear and distinct. It is fully aware,
that, to paraphrase Mr. Hoffman, to allow the
Communist program to be confused with the
liberal program is to allow the Communist pro-
gram to be defeated.
However I challenge Mr. Hoffman's pre-
sumption in presenting himself as an author-
ity on what Communists believe. His editorial
in yesterday's Daily, if we can assume he is
honest, shows him to be very badly informed
on the nature of Communism.
To begin with, Communists do not support
'complete government control." In fact 'they
frequently oppose government control. To a
Communist it is absolutely essential to make a
distinction in regard to what economic class
controls the government, before advocating more
government power.
Communists oppose monopolies because they
believe monopoly represents only a more ad-
vanced stage of capitalistic control.
Communists support the F.E.P.C. because
passage of such a law would mean an advance
of the working class and a defeat for the capi-
talist class which profits in discrimination. The
Communist Party considers itself an integral
part of the working class, hence every advance
for the working class is an advance for the
Communist Party.
Communists do not advocate a violent revolu-
tion. They differ from liberals in that they
realize that the class struggle in almost every
case leads to a position where the capitalists
use their last resort, armed violence, to suppress
the rising power of the workers. Communists
are willing to go to great lengths, short of dam-
aging working class interests, to prevent such an
occurrence, but if violence breaks out, Commun-
ists do not shirk their duty but stand by the
workers on the firing lines.
Communists support the principle of free
speech and press. However, they feel that like
every other freedom it is subject to broad but
definite moral limitations. .
* * *
The Communist Party also looks to great
Americans 'for inspiration. Do you remember
the Communists in the Abraham Lincoln Bri-
gade? "Citizen Tom Paine" was written by a
Communist.. .
The fundamental conflict between liberals
and Communists is this:
Liberals believe that freedom from depres-
sions, wars, racial intolerance, etc. can be won
within the framework of capitalism.
Communists believe that the capitalist sys-
tem itself creates the conditions which makes
it profitable and necessary to suppress the
growth of democracy, and that even the most
ideal capitalist economy, because of its funda-
mental nature, would be faced with an ever
faster cycle of hysterical "booms" and disastrous
depressions. This would force the capitalists to
take away the civil liberties of the people and
deny the workers all the gains they have made,
making room for the rise of fascism, or (the open
terroristic rule of monopoly capital) in their des-
perate attempt to remain in control of the econ-
omy of the country over the rising strength of
the working class.

To the Editor:
1 HAVE a question which has been giving me a
little trouble in this last month, my first as a
student at the University of Michigan, and I
would like to put this question to you publicly
so that the rest of the students around here, as
well as I, might have the answer. My question is
this: "Just what is the editorial policy of The
Michigan Daily?" And to put it just a bit more
bluntly, "Just what are your 'editors' driving at
in your daily barrage?"
Before you come back with the obvious, I
wish to state that I have taken due note of the
little squib you carefully insert into every issue,
to the effect that the views expressed in the edi-
torials are those of their authors and not those
of The Daily. What I want to know is just what
the views of The Daily are?
I had the idea when I came to Michigan, that
the University paper should be directed to the
student body as a whole, and that it should pre-.
sent material which in the aggregate would be
acceptable to that whole and not to one group
within the whole (be it the majority or the mi-
nority) whose ideas and ideals happen to coin-
cide with the ideas and ideals of the editorial
writers of the paper. From all that I have been
able to gather to date, that idea is not shared
by The Daily.
To be more specific, I noticed a big editorial
the other day congratulating Mr. Henry Wal-
lace upon his appointment as editor of the New
Republic ard stating, in effect, that we here
at Michigan would wait with a great deal of
anticipation for the enlightened editorials
which would soon appear in that publication.
Honestly, Mr. Freudenheim, I don't think that I
am alone by several thousand when I say that I
don't like the editorial policy of the New Re-
public and that I won't like it as well when it is
being run by Mr. Wallace. That sort of article,
I contend, you can't merely write off as the sole
opinion of the editorial's author. If that's all it
is, then let him keep it to himself. If The Daily,
on the other hand, thinks the student body ought
to hear it, then let The Daily acknowledge that
responsibility.
Then there is the little matter of Mr. Samuel
Grafton's column. The Daily undoubtedly pays
good money for that column, and I would have
no objection to it if The Daily would put out a
little more cash to buy somebody else's views in
opposition to Mr. Grafton's.
* . * *
The implication, you see Mr. Freudenheim, is
that The Daily seeks to be a sort-of Little New
Republic, or perhaps PM. Correst me if I'm
wrong, will you please?

THE statement is made at the be-

adjective could not have been used.
The horse is all that is left over
from the original. It turns in an
excellent performance. The way it
underplays its part makes Miss
Freeman's overacting all the more
noticeable. There are some good-

altogether too many humans.

'Healthy Effect' of Reparatins
GREAT MANY of Japan's heavy industries,
which will be redistributed to other coun-
tries as reparations, are actually economic bur-
dens and contribute nothing to the welfare of
the people of Japan, according to a recent
report.
At present the reparations program is in the
process of organization and once preparations
are completed, it is estimated that two years
will be necessary to effect the transfer of
industries to other Asiatic countries.
CGhina is expected to receive the largest
chunk of economic reparations from Japan,
while the Philippines and Australia and New
Zealand will fall in second and third cat-
eeories.
economic development. It is also possible that
transfer of the industries may have to be
effected in a more indirect way, since a long
period of inoperation lessens the value of
machinery and other equipment.
Whatever the actual method decided upon,
it is encouraging to see that reparations may
have a healthy effect on a country's economy
rather than crippling it further.
