Member, Associated Collegiate Press, 1946-47 NIGHT EDITOR: FRANCES PAINE Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. Yale Research FROM TIME TO TIME instances are brought to light in which one of our universities is performing some outstanding service for the American public. One of the most recent of these was made known by the publication of the first interim, report of the Labor and Man- agement Center of Yale University. This group has undertaken research studies on problems basic to an understanding of labor and management relations. The five branches of this work cover union policy and 1pactice, management policy and. practice in industrial relations, and the supply of and demand for labor. In addition, the studies in- clude the impact of technological innovations on industrial relations, and the reaction to unions by workers, management and public. In this work a concerted effort is being made to find the way through the network of con- flicting policies and actions to determine the basic principles which will lead to mutual un- derstanding. To test the reaction to unions by management, the director of the Center, E. W. Bakke, discussed union-management relations with sixty leaders from each field. It is not ex- pected that such a survey willprovide an im- mediate answer to the labor problem, but that this co-ordination of views will lead to a greater appreciation of the difficulties that each must overcome. The tendency to guide one's actions by one's own welfare has long aggravated the field of labor relations. With the survival of democratic principles resting, in large part, on the ultimate reconciliation of union and management pol- icies, Yale University is to be commended in performing this service. -Ken Herring By SAMUEL GRAFTON CONSERVATIVE commentators are having an hysterical, thigh-slapping good time out of Mr. Wallace's forced exit from the Cabinet. They murmur that Mr. Hannegan will be the next man to go, and that when he goes, liberals will not even be able to put a phone call through to the White House any longer. One conservative commentator says gurglingly that with Wallace and the liberals now on the outside, the Demo- crats themselves are "certain" to amend the Wagner Labor Relations Act after the election, if they win; if they don't, the Republicans will amend it. If these results are "certain," no matter who wins the election, one wonders why we should have an election; for the campaign then becomes an all-conservative derby, strictly intramural sports. It is barely possible, however, that the con- servative commentators are wrong, and that so is their pretty picture of two identical con- servative parties, contending from now on in meaningless election campaigns, with nothing more important at issue between them than a loving cup. Has conservatism really driven the liberals up an alley, and has it barred the gate against their exit? One wonders. There are certain facts which conservatives will find it hard to fit into this picture. One is the fact that there are more than twelve million fully organized work- ers in America, and you can't keep twelve million people and their families in an alley; no alley will hold them. Another is the fact that the liberal wing has been the decisive wing in the Democratic party, in the sense that Roosevelt would have won all four of his elections even if the entire Solid South had gone Republican each time. A third is the plain fact that this is 1946, the year of a world-wide leftward movement; the United States cannot pick this as the year in which to have the liberal movement disappear without running counter to a world trend; and while some such obscure and unique role may lie ahead of us there is nothing to indicate that is necessarily so. It is easy to see why conservative commenta- tors should be tickled by the notion that the liberal movement has been permanently exiled from American politics, and that from here on out, two conservative parties are going to divide the field between them, on the basis of amiable potato races, held every two years. But the conservative who tries to fit the above facts into his sketch will find his jig-saw puzzle coming out with five corners. IT SO HAPPENS " Column for Sale What Dictionary? ONE OF OUR ex-Marine friends was putting his English I section through some diction- ary work the other day, making a distinction between slang and colloquialisms. Our man asked for an example of slang with an English equivalent as a starter, and one of his students, also an ex-Marine, came up with this one: "How about 'slop shoot' for 'beer joint'?" ,,..jc * That Column Again To The Daily: TODAY IN THE DAILY section "It So Hap- pens" in an article entitled "No Pushing Please," I noticed a reference to a Portugese edition of the Student Directory that is being released in Buenos Aires. I don't believe that such a statement is go- ing to be a big help in answering a question that I have been asked many times since I came to this country. "What language do you speak down there, Portuguese or Spanish? Dear editor, we speak Spanish. -Enrique G. Valente Buenos Aires, Argentina Short and to the Point THE FOLLOWING fragment, found in one of the office typewriters, is reprinted in full: Dear Bert, This is the long-delayed letter that I should have written quite awhile ago. There isn't a hell of a lot to say *' * * * Clssi fied 0NE OF OUR BOYS who has long since been deflated from a veteran down to his nat- ural size as a reporter, was given a shot in the arm the other day. Stepping off one line and on to another with the poise of the inveterate perrenial student he automatically reached in- to his pocket to pay for a copy of his blueprint. When his turn finally came, the clerk told him that no payment would be necessary. "How come?" inquired our man, "I thought there was a charge of fifty cents." "Not for you," was the sweet reply, accom- panied by a fluttering of the eyelids. "You've been away and come back." * * * * Contributions for this column come from all members of The Daily staff and are the re- sponsibility of the editorial director. WE MUST REMEMBER that the fight be- tween the liberal and conservative wings of the Democratic party is an old fight, not a new one. We must also remember that for many years the conservative wing seemed even farther "out" than the liberal wing is today. It has come back. It has come back because it became con- scious of itself, because it organized, because it sought and won allies in the Republican party, and because it mastered the trick of opposing the President without leaving the party., Liberals did not have to use these tactics, because they had Roosevelt. It has taken them a year to realize that he is gone, that a bril- liant inter-wing tactician has been replaced by a man who is merely an unhappy football be- tween the factions, a man who takes much too seriously the same editorials which failed, four times in a row, to defeat Roosevelt. But this need not mean that the liberals are out of the party. They enter now a molecular stage of organization and building, similiar to that on which the disgusted conservative wing embarked in 1936; and they will be helped if they but realize that they have as much right to remain in the party, and to make themselves at home in it, as the conservatives had, back then. They need to organize, to seek allies, to win local victories, with the feeling that they will be in the party when Mr. Truman himself shall have left the scene. They can even carry with them the thought that if a new party alignment ever does become inevitable, that should arise when the conserva- tives leave; and not because the decisive wing of the party troops tamely out under one man's frown.

MYDA Seeks Members To the Editor: TONIGHT AT 7:30 in the Union the first meeting this semester of MYDA will be held. There are a great many people on campus who have never heard of Michigan Youth for Democratic Action and there are some that hold odd misconception as to the purpose and func- tion of such an organization. This letter will serve as an introduction to the club and an in- vitation to all who can meet this minimum pro- gram to attend its meeting. MYDA is an affiliate organization of the national club, American Youth for Democracy. It is composed of people who believe in trans- lating into action what all of us profess to be- lieve in: American Democracy. To MYDA this means racial equality, so MYDA is an inter- racial organization. It means education for all, so MYDA is for lowering instead of raising ed- ucation costs. It stands for a foreign policy dic- tated by reason and understanding, not one re- lying on sheer force. Perhaps the main function of MYDA is an educational one, an opportunity for people who do not believe Henry Wallace, 'Claude Pepper; and the CIO to be "dreamy-eyed visionaries" or "members of the lunatic fringe" but men far more realistic than those who dream of an American Century and Peace with half the world free and half slave to come together, express themselves and act on their convictions. What MYDA needs is a great many new members. If you have valid criticism on the club in the method by which it carries out its program or suggestions for the future, come to the meeting t o n i g h t and find out more about it. We want your ideas and we want you to stay and work with us. Election of officers will be carried on with voting open to all new members and all old ones in good standing. -Max Dean Football Seat Injustice To the Editor: FOR THE PAST few weeks I have been listen- ing to threats of what will happen to under- classmen who don't turn in upperclass football tickets they "illegally" hold. And now they are encouraged to, see the "justice" of their doing so. This, it is hoped, will bring in more tickets for juniors and seniors. When the word "justice" is used, we must be careful to use it correctly. The real justice, of course, is that all students and faculty should be given the best seats in the stadium and out- siders then may have those left. I have been entertaining this naive notion for some years, and believe it is too bad that one must wait until his senior year to sit close enough to view the "character" Mr. Crisler builds in 55 stu- dents out of some 18,500. The student government might well inves- tigate why the public, merely because they can afford to pay more, always receive better con- sideration than students at University affairs such as this. Student seating at football games is a token discharge of! an obligation those in the administration no longer bother to fulfill. Hunting down freshmen and sophomores who are only rightfully claiming what is theirs is avoiding the real issue. I dislike sitting in sec- tion 30 after 12 semesters in the University, but I dislike even more being told it is the un- derclassmen's fault. -C. N. Ballentine, '48Med.

All students on the Campus (in- cluding Freshmen) with one year of Monetary Fund ONE OF THE most disastrous mistakes in United States history was made after the first World War when the country allowed a series of successively higher tariffs to be passed, culminating in the Hawley-Smoot Tariff of 1930, which brought international trade to a com- plete standstill. The economic, if not the political, inter- dependence of the world has finally been rec- ognized by nations. International trade is the only peaceful means by which the econ- omic needs of one nation can be satisfied by the surplus commodities of another. It is vital that such trade be relatively unrestricted. At present it is not enough merely to lift tariff restrictions. The monetary policies of all countries must be stabilized to facilitate ex- change. For the purpose of such stabilization, the In- ternational Monetary Fund has been set up. At the first business meeting of the board of gov- ernors of this fund last Saturday, President Truman spoke, outlining the responsibility of this group in providing a stable economic world. In addition, the United States, Britain and Can- ada have paved the way for the work of the fund by recently stabilizing their money values on an international basis. It is encouraging to note that the United States is one of the leaders in this movement toward world economic control. International BARNABY rI'm sorry, son.
