PERSONAL MATTER: Adams' Places Responsibility Above Rights in Democracy papersiews 4o ii ssios -1 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.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of two interpretative articles by Daily reporters present at the UMT confer- 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.
