NIGHT EDITOR: ARTHUR HIGBEE Peace by Sword T MUST BE with sheepishness that the State Department announces a decision to aid the Greek government in the war on the guerrillas', coming as the announcement does, so sharp on the heels of the contentions of Henry Wallace that our present foreign policy is leading us inevitably to a third World War. American Marines are poised in the Mediterranean Sea for only one rea- son. Tanks and guns are not standard equipment on a winter cruise to Africa. American troops are in that area to fight. They are there to support the fight of the GreeU Army against Greek guer- rillas in the "spring offensive." They are to back up a $15 million American invest- ment not in European recovery, but in fur- ther European warfare. And for what purpose is this war to be fought? Is it as Wallace contends, for the purpose of protecting American oil in the Near East? We were certainly not as eager to continue our democratic crusade in Pal- estine, after the firm warning from the Arabs that America had "not yet done any- thing to endanger its oil interests." Simi- larly, we must stay IN the Greek question, as the guerrilla forces grow more hostile towards us daily and would hurt our business if they got into power. Of the two groups, the guerrillas are the closest to being democratic, if any compari- son can be made. At least, they ask but a voice in their own government. And not all the guerrillas can be assumed to be Com- "nunists. Some are democracy-loving Greeks who realize the threat to their freedom in the unwanted Royalist regime. We have made our decision-our Ma- rines are waiting at sea-waiting perhaps for the morning of World War III, when Pearl Harbor moves to Athens. That is Greece, 1948, the first step in something new for Americanism, peace by the sword. Rather than give one inch in our Vanden- bergish "Get tough with the Communists" policy, or rather than admit that we are really taking care of our own interests, we will try out our new atomic weapons. There is one consolation in our new actions. It is the easiest way in the world to find out whether or not the Russians actually have an atomic bomb. Don McNeil By SAMUEL GRAFTON CONSERVATIVES have been yelling that the "voluntary way" is the best way to fight inflation. Perhaps the time has come to call them on it, to ask them to produce it, and put it into operation. What is the "vol- untary way"? Is there such a way, and does it have content, or is this just a convenient phrase with which to fight any and all ra- tioning and price control proposals? I mean, when you open the package labeled "Volun- tary Way," what do you find inside? It is to test out the voluntary way that I have proposed a campaign to cut all prices, on all goods, at all levels, retail, wholesale and factory, by 5 percent, as of a selected day. This would be, at- the least, a demon- stration against inflation, and a massive one. As to whether it would cure the evil, I don't know, but it would certainly ease the pinch that is beginning to be felt in the retail stores. Dollar volume was up last year, but unit sales, the actual physical movement of goods, was down ? percent below a year ago, which is bad news for employment. I don't consider that a general 5 percent Wallace Candidac y AST SPRING before Henry Wallace's amazing character had fully asserted itself in the realm of presidential politics, it was doubted in these columns that he would run as a third party candidate for president. Now that he has contradicted this belief, it is possible to view Wallace in another light. He is not a politician today and he is not trying to be one. He is so completely wrapped up in his sincere object to the United States' foreign policy that he has put aside all the politics he must have learn- ed in his years with the administration in favor of honest action. This one fact makes it impossible to judge him on the same basis with the other poli- ticians of the day. He has denied the power of American politics. Wallace is making an open appeal to the people. A thing unheard of in American political life. He has no end in mind but getting what he believes to be the will of the people down on paper. He cannot expect to come anywhere near to winning the presidential election. Wal- lace believes so strongly that there is no real difference between the Republican and Democratic policy that he is not afraid to make a Republican victory easier in Novem- ber ,which he is sure to do. He is completely honest. A man with this characteristic in American politics today can completely disrupt the machinery of political activity that we have set up. Everyone is looking for some hidden motive in his can- didacy, but they are not likely to find one. The apparently stupid political action of Wallace, while his judgement is subject to serious question, can be nothing more than his idealistic interest in the American people. -Al Blumrosen What9s on Wax ONE of the tastiest bop sides to be issued in some time is Tad Dameron 's "Our Delight" on Bluenote. Previously recorded by Gillespie using a full band, Tad's little group does the complete and definitive rendition of his own composition. Using the tremendous talents of Fats Navarro, trumpet and Shadow Wil- son on drums, the sextet does a clean (less frippery than usual) run-through of the simple and intriguing set of figures. Fats is the talented young trumpeter who has caused much excited talk in the trade recently and Wilson has long been rated as one of the best rhythm men in the business. The reverse, "The Squirrel" doesn't quite measure up harmonically to the other side, but scores in its own way. Wilson effectively carries most of the rhiythm load, and Tad chords around the intro and coda. Navarro sounds somewhat forced but still manages to throw his weight around. Recording is clear, balance is good. Kay Starr, whose voice and technique have had vocalists going around shaking their heads for years, is finally beginning to share the loot some of her less talented col- leagues have been getting. Snagging a long- term pact with Capitol, her first record, "Share Croppin' Blues," showcases her start- lingly different huskiness to good advantage. Reverse is an ancient Von Tilzer tune which magically comes to life under Kay's careful ministrations. Stan Kenton's first side featuring his new band has been recently released. "Unison Riff," another Rugolo script, has a provoca- tive intro with Jack Constanza's bongo along with Chico Alvarez' lucid trumpet adding a neat effect. Art Pepper gets off a good bop alto solo, and then comes the deluge. Five trumpets lead the pack in a screaming for- tissimo finish. June Christy, in singing "I Told Ya I Love Ya, Now Get Out," is prob- ably wondering when she will be able to record some.good material. Dave Grippey eut would produce a paradise here on earth, but it might buy us a few months for further reflection, and it might help avert some strikes. France tried a general 5 percent cut a year ago, with inconclusive results, but France was in too much trouble by that tine for her experience to be binding on us. Even so, there was a wonderful feeling of exhil- aration in Paris when the "Baisse 5" signs appeared on all the shops, and the people did, I think, begin to get some confidence that inflation could be mastered.' We are in a far better situation than France was then; we are so rich that we were saved (some think) from a recession last year by the fact that we had a poor corn crop, which scared buyers and restoked the inflationary furnace. There are not many countries left which are so prosperous that a disaster improves business conditions, and a general 5 percent price reduction here might have really large consequences. It would have to be done simultaneously, in every shop, in every village, town and city. It would not be necessary or even advisable to change price tags; we could merely deduct 5 percent at the bottom of every sales slip, or from every monthly bill, to emphasize the savings produced by the cut. Is the "voluntary way" capable of con- ducting such an operation? Who volun- teers, under the "voluntary way," and who calls for volunteers? Is the "volunteer way" an active way, or is it only passive? Is this merely the name that inertia wears when it goes to Congress? It will be sad if the phrase "voluntary way" turns out to mean only a way of wait- ing listlessly for an unnecessary recession. The words themselves would make a sour caption under a picture of the unemployed during a Presidential campaign. The ques- tion before us is whether we are the masters of our fate to the extent of, and it's not asking a lot, 5 percent. (Copyright, 1947, New York Post Syndicate) - 2 IT SO HAPPENS . . 0 Brooms and Bolts Testing Hypothesis.. . For a recent test of an entire lecture group, one section instructor designated a room in Angell Hall for the event. When the crucial time came around, the class was milling outside the assigned room looking confused and sheepish. No one even tried to seat himself in the instructor's choice of a testing ground. It was a janitor's closet. S* * Keep Moving ... Attention, Michigan Union Ballroom: 'United Press' Tokyo bureau reports the following item- "Japanese police warned dance-hall managers to halt "no moving" dancing. They said it's immoral. "Police charged the management per- mitted couples to engage in embracing without taking steps in the corners of thl dimly lit dance halls." New Twist ... Freshmen-are-not -'so-green-as-they-seem department. That well-known college stu- dent ingenuity came to the fore again at the end of the fall semester, as freshmen gave a new twist to the semester-end rush to the card catalogues. Foreseeing pointed and ex- plicit questions would be asked on their 1,500 page outside reading assignment in History 11, just before Christmas vacation several freshmen spent long hours in the General Library looking up books cited in the suggested bibliography. They were looking for books the General Library didn't have. Discrepancy A RECENT Associated Press story on U.S. military aid to Greece mentioned 1,000 marines ordered to the gediterranean area. The insinuation was that they are going particularly prepared to land in Greece. Elmer Davis said in his nightly broad- cast that "the State Department is not planning to send American troops to fight' the Greek guerrillas." He mentioned the marines, too, but indicated they were "to fill out the Navy's complement of marines in the Mediterranean," without reference to Greece. Davis also pointed out that 1,000 marines wouldn't do much good in the Bal- kan mountains, in support of his contention that they are going "for waterfront dis- turbances" only. This apparently unimportant discrepancy is really not so trifling. The Balkan situa- tion is inflammable enough without mis- representation. And the conclusions that will be drawn from the AP's report can be judged fairly only on the basis of accurate information. -Phil Dawson. (Continued from Page 3) t of Biological Chemistry.

MUSIC Time of Exercise Iame Myra Hess received a well-de- served ovation following her piano con- cert last night. Technically her playing was beyond reproach, and she displayed real musical intelligence throughout. The concert opened with an introspec- tive Bach adagio in which the pianist ex- hibited fine understanding. Bach's toccata, which followed, had much of the restrained sprightliness of the Peasant Cantata-par- ticularly as played by Dame Hess. Three pieces by Schubert provided an interval of melodic relaxation before the abstruse Beethoven Sonata, Opus 111. When he wrote this sonata, Beethoven's deaf- ness had kept him out of touch with hu- man musical limitations for some years, with the result that it makes tremendous Monday (at (at (at cta (at (at (at (at (at (at (at 8...
