Co-op Day

URING the last fifteen years democracy
has been practiced,.not merely preached,
in the cooperative houses on campus. The
ooperative movement has grown from hopes
that men could live as equals to concrete
proof that this is a day-to-day fact.
In the five cooperative houses on cam-
pus individuals of different races, dif-
ferent countries, different backgrounds
work and play and live together, proving
that their common humanity, given the
opportunity, can overcome the barriers
of differeneces in race, religion, and poli-
tical views.
Co-op members decide for - themselves
what jobs must be done in order to keep
tJe houses running, and they work together
to do these jobs. They decide for themselves
what food should be eaten, and they work
together to buy and prepare it. They decide
for themselves what rules they must follow,
and work to maintain them.
Through the Inter-Cooperative Coun-
cil, which is composed of representatives
from each house the co-ops work together
on mass purchasing, maintaining the
houses, choosing personnel, and planning
educational meetings and social functions.
Matters that are of vital importance are
referred back to each of the individual
houses for decisions.
The Michigan co-ops are but one group
of a large number of co-ops which are lo-
cated on campuses throughout the United
States. The movement reaches all of the 48
states, and cooperatives are abundant in
many other countries of the world.
Student cooperatives in other college
towns have branched out into other fields,
and are managing co-op bookstores, laun-
dries, farms, and grocery stores, all of which
supply their services at substantially low-
er prices than privately-owned establish-
mnents.
Each of the co-op enterprises is based
on the needs of its membership, each is
run on a non-profit basis.
During the past fifteen years the co-
operatives on this campus have shown that
living and working together can be more
inexpensive, more fun, more educational
than any other way of life.

Election. Turnout
IF CAMPUS POSTS meant as much to the
candidates as they appeared to in the
last election, many students should feel
pangs of regret for failing to vote and al-
lowing several offices to be determined by a
margin of one or two ballots.
However conclusive a one-vote margin
may be for' practical purpses, it is not
a very clear-cut expression of majority
opinion. And when that slim margin
emanates from only one-tenth of the eli-

M R. MOLOTOV's speech was not a peace
speech. It was one of those standard
routines, by now almost ritual, in which a
statesman praises everything in his own
country's policy and denounces everything
in the opposition's policy, gasping the word
"peace" meanwhile in those pauses which
lIt Seem s to me
By DON NUECHTERLEIN
THENAME LIDICE arose from World
War II as a symbol of the oppression
and brutality which has blackened our gen-
eration in the annals of history, but the
sad truth is that too many people have
forgotten so quickly the story of this little
town in Czechoslovakia and those respon-
sible for this greatest of all crimes against
humanity.
From the time when Hitler's armies
moved into Czechoslovakia in 1939 the
Czechs had become the most rebellious
people of all the German occupied coun-
tries, and as a result of the growing vio-
lence Hitler in 1942 sent his Gestapo
henchman, Reinhard Heydrich, to deal
with the situation and to teach the Czechs
a lesson in obedience to the "master race."
The reign of terror which Heydrich
brought finally resulted in his assassina-
tion, followed by one of the greatest man-
hunts ever recorded The Nazis stopped at
nothing in their revenge and in their
search for those responsible. Hundreds of
innocent people were murdered in cold
blood while a stupendous reward was of-
fered for information leading to the as-
sassins, -but still they were not found and
people throughout Europe were laughing
at the all-powerful Gestapo. In their rage
the Nazis fell upon a clue, which later
proved to be false, and their wrath focused
on the little town of Lidice.
Lidice was a village of some 400 inhabi-
tants located fifteen miles from Prague. Its'
people lived a simple life and were largely
members of the working class. On June 4th,
1942 the Gestapo conducted a house to
house search, and as these same men later
testified at their trial, nothing was found
which indicated that the inhabitants of
Lidice had anything to do with Heydrich's
assassination. However, on the night of
June 9th, the Gestapo completely surround-
ed the virllage, woke every person from
his sleep, and ordered everyone to take
his valuables and prepare to leave. During
the early hours of morning the women and
children were transported to a neighboring
village while the men were herded into the
basement of a farm outside Lidice.
The next day all 180 men from the
village were taken out and shot in cold
blood, and their corpses lay there while
Jews from a nearby concentration camp
were obliged to dig a mass grave into
which the victims were later thrown hap-
hazardly. The entire village was set afire.'
and burned to the ground. Those remains
which would not burn were then blown:
up and the debris carried away; the entire
area was plowed up and trees transplanted
in neighboring villages; and even the
graves in the village cemetery were
opened, the corpses robbed of jewelry,
and then reburied in another area In
succeeding months every trace of the vil-
lage was obliterated, and as a final ges-
ture of brutality, wheat and corn were
planted over the entire landscape. These
were the methods used by the Germans
to scare Europe into submission; here is
20th century civilization at its highest
point, the rule of the "master race."
The question arises as to what connection
this horrible story has with present world
conditions and why I bring up incidents
which people are trying to forget. The an-
swer is quite simple if one views the situa-
tion as the European -people do, for Lidice

is only one of the countless, such atrocities
committed by the Germans in every coun-
try they invaded: Norway, Denmark, Hol-.
land, Belgium, France, Poland, Russia, Yu-
goslavia, Greece and Albania. Such mem-
ories still live in these people's minds, mem-
ories which will not be blotted out by the
Marshall Plan nor by any other attempt
we may introduce to bring Germany once
more into the community of European na-
tions. The almost .inhuman hatred which
exists today among Europeans of any-
thing German is one of the greatest prob-
lems facing any peacemaking body. As'far
as the Czechs and Dutch are concerned, for
example, the entire German nation can
starve to death, just as the Germans at-
tempted to do to them during the war.
Is it any wonder then that France has
refused to consider the economic aspect
of the German question until the polit-
ical questions are solved? Does it seem
unreasonable that all these countries have
vigorously protested American and Brit-
ish attempts to build up German industry
once more? These people have only one
thought in mind: why should we again
build up Germany and give her the
14IantA o a i -in

are technically necessary for him to catch
his breath.
There is not a peace plan in a solid
ream of these speeches, and this routine
of peace speeches without peace plans
has become a bore, whether it is indulged
in by a Russian statesman, a British
statesman an American statesman or an
Afghanistanian statesman
The world wants peace, not polemics. It
is not primarily interested in ingenious de-
monstrations that one side is better and
the other side worse. Every one of these
demonstrations takes us further from peace,
for every one does a moral lubricating job
on the engines of war.
The more eloquent the demonstration,
the worst for peace, and this is a principle
we must grasp if we are to understand
the dangers involved in that new literary
form of our time, the peace speech which
denounces the other side
The world waits for a statesman who will
give it a peace speech which will include
specific plans and specifications for peace,
with a touch of compromise and perhaps
even the flicker of confession that there has
been hastiness on both sides. Current ora-
tory is bare of such matter, and on these
points approaches close to absolute silence.
I do not go further in analyzing Mr.
Molotov's speech, precisely because the
game of flinging points back and forth
across the world is so dangerous. But
there is one matter which shouldare cov-
ered. We are not a "camp." We are a peo-
ple of many millions, some ferocious and
cynical, no doubt; some honestly alarmed,
some confused and bewildered, some hope-
ful. We are trying to pick our way through
a complex, changing time, searching for
a line which will express the American
past and contain some promise for the,
American future. Who denies that the
problem is a real one?
A touch of realization by the other side
that this is a mutual problem would shine
like a light upon the road, and it might
become an integral part of the reactive
process through which America is going.
Brusquely to enclose America into a "camp"
can have no such effect; though it could,
of course, in time enclose America into a
camp. It is a point to be considered by any-
one who sits down to write a speech on
peace.

Peace Aims
THE UNITED NATIONS General Assembly
has passed the Russian-sponsored "war-
mongering" resolution, a measure that has
valuable peace ideals, yet outlines no new,
decisive way of attaining those ideals
An article that asks all nations to take
action within their "constitutional limits"
to promote friendly relations and peace
s a mere restatement of the status quo.
Through control of the press, constitu-
tional limitations have already been de-
fined by the nations of the world and each
controls its press within its own limits
now.
In the democracies, there is no control
over press. In Russia, and in many of her
allied nations, control of the press is com-
plete and there is no room for further
expansion of the power to control the press.
Thus, no nation will control its press
further than it does now and the "con-
stitutional limit" clause dissolves into a
statement of present conditions. No real
steps are to be taken to promote peace
through governmental intervention.
However, the resolution is valuable in that
it is aimed at promoting world peace, even
if its method proves nonexistent.
Attention is called to the need for peace
propaganda.

"To promote, by all means of publicity
and propaganda available to them, friend-
ly relations among nations, based upon
the principles of the Charter;" and'
"To encourage the dissemination of all
information designed to give expression
to the undoubted desire of all peoples for
peace."
These 'two peace declarations are well
proposed and represent the often-stated
purpose of the UN. Repeating them does
not detract from the basic truth of peace
and friendly relations that they contain.
The repeating of these aims over and
over again will help impress upon us the
fact that the desire for-peace must never
be subverted by petty and extraneous
bickering and qUarreling between na-
tions that all hold peace at a primary
objective

Need for Victory
To the Editor:
OPEN LETTER to Fritz and the
Michigan Team . . .
Congratulations on the fine re-
cord to date. I'm sure that all the
alumni join me in taking great
pride in your 1947 victories. As
a graduate of Michigan and now;
a student at the University of,
Wisconsin, I hardly need tell you
that you've got a real battle on1
your hands th'is coming Satur-,
day when the Wolverines and
Badgers clash.
Don't underrate the Wisconsin
line or "Jug" Girard - they're
tops. And most of all, don't un-
derrate the terrific spirit which
has in the past few weeks humb-
led Yale, Northwestern, and Iowa.
Wisconsin is by no means over-
confident from its recent victories,
but it does possess a fighting spirit
which may well match Michigan
man for man.
As a matter of faith in what
Michigan can do if it really gets
rolling, I have taken a great stake
in the outcome of the game No-
vember 15. Foolishly or not, if
you do not crush the Badgers by
more than 30 points, I have au-
thorized my fraternity chapter to
formally duck me in Lake Men-
dota following the game. Now
with winter fast approaching, the
white caps on Lake Mendota pre-
sent a menacing discomfort. Re-
Imember that it will not be for
myself alone sufferingnthe con-
sequences. With me goes the hon-
or due to Michigan and its fine
team and coach. Only a decisive
victory will show the Badgers and
the nation itself that Michigan is
the number one team.
Go to it, men, and fight every
inch of the way for the honor
and glory of the Maize and Blue.

Letters to the Editor..
EDITOR'S NOTE: Because The Daily . AT---------- - - ,' *

I SHOULD LIKE to know why
there was no general campus
observance at 11 o'clock on Armis-
tice Day this year. Is it that the
University officials have decided
it is more essential that we spend
those few minutes in class, rather
than in honoring the memory of
our soldier-dead?
This seems to me the only
reason I can find for the failure
to observe this day with public
ceremonies, in the spirit for which
it was conceived. In my opinion,
however, the observance of Ar-
mistice Day takes precedence over
any class. This is not just an ex-
cuse to miss a few minutes of
class either. It would take a par-
ticularly cynical official to believe
that.
Armistice Day to me is a re-
minder of the senselessness of
war, and the great unhappiness
that it causes. Mindful of this,
a thinking person ponders what
might be done to see to it that
we never again have to fight a
full-scale conflict. His mind turns
to the United Nations and he vows
that he will give it all the sup-
port he can. Others think of dif-
ferent vehicles for peace assur-
ance.
The point is that, by being in-
spired through impressive cere-
monies, to remember our soldier-
dead, one is likely to take time off
from his'. smaller interests and
look to the horizon for a change.
Long after I forget what T
learned in class today, I shall
remember those who died in com-
bat. Whether I do anything to
prevent a recurrence of war,
through interest in world affairs,
might depend on just such ob-
se'vances which were overlooked
today.
-JayI. 'Singer.

No Notice
To the Editor:
ARMISTICE DAY was yester-
day. Here in Ann Arbor you
would never know it if not for
the medium of the radio. A uni-
versity which proclaims to be one
of the foremost educational insti-
tutions in the country has not
seen fit to hold some sort of ac-
tivity memorial affair to mark
the day.
In fact, only one organization
in the entire town had taken-any
notice of the day what-so-ever.
The V.F.W. is that group andthe
celebration was small, limited to
the clubrooms only.
In most towns at 11 am. on
every November 11th, whistles
blow and sirens screech and most
people turn East for two silent
minutes of commemoration to the
war dead. Maybe a town like Ann
Arbor boasting a -great school is
too sophisticated to stop all ac-
tivities for two minutes; maybe
the school itself can't be bothered
to make the 11 o'clock classes be-
gin two minutes late.
If a progressive school like this
can so flagrantly bypass Novem-
ber 11th what are 13,000 veterans
supposed to think of what will
happen in a few years to the
memories of our dead 'buddies?
No, I'm not trying to wave the
flag, but I keep saying to my-
self, "what's the use?" Right ndw
I'm not very proud of my school.

Band Seats
To the Editor:
DURING the Minnesota and In-
diana games, the- Athletic As-
sociation found itself in such 'a
mercenary position that it politely
asked the Michigan Marching
Band to take seats on the side-
lines of the field (by selling the
seats usually used by the band).
Our seats are normally not too
good in the first-four rows of the

stands, but when they put us on
the sidelines it is quite a different
story. If you are fortunate enough
to sit in the front row of the
five rows formed, you have fairly
good seats, but to the members of
the Band that have to sit back of
the first row, it is a hard matter
to see the playing on the field.
And even thosewo it in the front
row are plagued by the maze of
photographers that somehow find
an opportune spot along the side-
lines when the play is any place
near enough to be seen.
Most of the members of the
Band are playing in the Banf for
two reasons. The .,first reason is
that we-enjoy playing and-rnarch-
ing in the Michigan Marching
Band; and the second reason is
