POLITICAL SIDELIGHT:
UMT Lobby in Washui'toin
Works To Defeat Lerislation
By LILIAS WAGNER
To preserve the democracy
which we now have, we must nev-
er take it for granted and must
look for the good in it, Provost
James Adams said at the speech
assembly yesterday.
Provost Adams, whose present
position involves administration
of the educational functions of
the University, pointed out the
Debaters Face
Iowa Today
The University's busy varsity
debate team will take on the Uni-
versity of Iowa squad at 4 p.m.}
today in Kellogg Auditorium for
the fourth intercollegiate debate
'of the season.
Taking the negative side of the
question, "Resolved: that a feder-
al world government should be
established" will be Ben Vanden-
Belt, '48, and Frank Nelson, '48
for Michigan. Change-in-opinion
ballots will' be used in determin-
ing the audience reaction to the
discussion.
fact that this country suffered
none of the ravages of wair, but
that there is stall social confusion.
Rights and Privileges
"We put our rights and privi-'
leges before our responsibility," he
observed. "We seem to have tle
new political habit of asking the
government for things we can't
get ourselves. We seek peace and
justice in the world,. yet accept
conflict in solving industrial dis-
putes"
However, democracy is not be-
stowed from without, he explai -
ed. The freedoms enjoyed by
Americans "reach into a man's in-
ner system," Dr. Adams comment-
ed. "Nothing could compensate a
man for the loss of his soul."
Freedoms Preserved
Simply because we have pre-
served our freedoms, while others
have lost them, we are not per-
ed," he added. "Nothing is per-
fect as long as our hopes and
dreams exceed, our accomplish-
ments."
"The quality of democracy de-
pends on the moral fibre of the
people and their devotion to free-
dom, justice, and truth," Provost
Adams concluded. '

"This change has also resulted

'While we once recruited our

'The graduate from college who

ence in lwashini'ton. l).C., last week-
end.
By PAT JAMES and
DON McNEIL
A constant juggling by opposing
forces to gain control marked the
Washington Conference against
Universal Military Training-the
most heterogeneous group to unite
under a common banner.
But even if nothing else ap-
peared definite the basic unanim-
ity of the group on the problem
of UMT was as evident as their
blue - white buttons - "Defeat
UMT."
Other Conflicts
Conflict existed not on UMT but
on the struggle to force side-line
issuesgnto the limelight.
From beginning to end, Com-
munists were zealously at work
on the Party Line. Led by the
dynamic personality of Paul Rob-
eson, who barely mentioned UMT
in his talk, they hammered away
at "capitalistic militarism."
While other speakers talked, a
part of the assembly had con-
tinuously interrupted with stamp-
ing of the feet and cries of."We
want Robeson." When the singer
went up on the platform, the
crowd rose almost as one, in thun-
derous applause.
Conservative Factor
More conservative factor was
Rev. John Darr, Congregational
minister and ardent anti-UMT
speaker. Delegates also included
students from denominational
colleges such as Hillsdale.
The group that left from Ann
Arbor was typical in its unanim-
ity and conflicting differences.
Wallace for President groups
passed out pamphlets cailling or
students to give him their sup-
port, and "Wallace '43" buttons,
bearing a pict ure of Wallace su-
perimposed on a lprofile of Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt, soon appeared
beside the UMT empblems on
their lapels.
