A current case in point is the passing of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights reported in Saturday's papers. In its present form, the declaration calls for: Freedom of thought, conscience and religion, expression and assembly, prohibition of slavery, and freedom of movement within a country and the right to travel abroad. Other "guaranteed" rights include: Right a hold property, right to work and to have a free choice of work, right to free leisure, privacy of the home, and protection against unemployment. All of which sounds fine to American ears -a Bill of Rights for all peoples, just like our Constitution guarantees for us. Then we read along a little further into the stoiry, and find that Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky attacked the measure as "leaving the door open for fascism." With a snort we quickly pass this off as just so much Russian propaganda, and an attempt to discredit the Western Powers. But wait a minute-let's see what Vish- insky wanted, and/why Russia and the So- viet bloc abstained from voting on the dec- laration in its present form. The Russian proposal would have em- phasized the rights of colonial peoples, pro- claimed the right of everyone to. "combat Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. NIGHT EDITOR: PHIL DAWSON fascism" in all fields, outla wed. the pol1 tax and other voting restrictions, and made all these provisions legally binding on all nations. For the believer in all , basic human rights, this doesn't sound so bad, either; few would contest that these proposals are unnecessary in such a charter of liberty supposed to last for the ages. In fact, the only apparent difference be- tween the rights proposed by the Western Powers and the Soviet Union is just that --the Soviet proposed rights would be those bearing most heavily on the Western Pow- ers, and vice versa. Both sets of rights are therefore neces- sary for a complete charter of human liberties; yet the power politics tactics of both force them hypocritically to demand "rights" proposals which are not made in the spirit of actual liberty, but as a propa- ganda weapon. Proof of this statement is the brazen claim of the Western delegates that the human rights declaration as it stands will be a "potent ideological weapon" against Communism (taken from Associated Press dispatches). And, of course, there was the typically ir- responsible Russian charge during the de- bate that the Western democracies paved the way for World War II. What is the point of all this? Simply that the United States, despite its tem- porary voting victory (48-0), has not gained a real victory of wisdom or justice any more than the Soviets. Furthermore, the United States will not be widely acclaimed as a real peacemaker until we decide to take the bitter with the sweet, and not only tell others what rights they should grant their citizens, but set our own house in order by correcting in- justices and abridgement of civil liberties -within our own nation. -Russell B. Clanahan. - Y FPEyNTITG a the clippings of the past week-enid's fiasco in Costa Rica to Andrei Vishisky and Henry Wallace our government can answer in one breath the. demands abroad for disarmaments and the idealists at home who think it is the only way to get peace. The tiny nation of Costa Rica had the greatest of intentiaons when it abolished its Army a little over a week ago. The President, like some of the "heads in the clouds" liberals here at home, told the people that what they needed was more teachers and less military men. lie told everyone to go home and plant their crops, including the military leaders, and Costa Rica would have peace. One week later, the country had been in- vaded and nearly overrun, allegedly by forces from neighboring Nicaragua. At this time there has been no help from the West- ern Ilemisphere Defense Pact, signed a couple o weeks ago, Our Progressives would have us do the same as Costa Rica. They would have us disarm and go home to plant our crops, perhaps hide our heads in the sand. But we wonder. The answer of the United States to Russia was the same at the end of the U.N. session as it w as at the beginning. There will be no cut in American armaments until the U.S. is assured of world peace. There wi be no end to the rustling of spears in Mos- cow4 and Washington until a more suitable means of settling disputes is found. If Vishinsky wants peace, he can startle the world into action by making the sug- gestion that so many people would like one of the big powers to make-the sugges- tion that the United Nations create an armed force to police the world. -Don McNeil. I'D RATHER BE RIGHT: orkingNotes By SAMUEL GRAFTON PLANNING: The Marshall Plan is making Europeans giggle a little over American inconsistency. They point out that we, who hate planning at home, are showing a pas- sion for it abroad. We are all out to raise the European per capita annual income to $500; we avidly study trade trends in sixteen ERP countries; we try to balance national economies everywhere. Not a nut or bolt falls to earth over half this planet, but we know of it. Yet at home, of course, planning is still hateful New Deal nonsense. Here we go mn}re for rugged individualism and the workings of chance. As to what the upshot will be, no man can say. Maybe we shall end with a beauti- fully poised and balanced world, in which America alone will bubble and boil uncon- trollablly, a closed flask in which the wild particles dance, sealed off from a steadied world. All of mankind's affairs will have been stabilized and rationalized as a pro- tection for our right to have a recession if we want to, quietly and without interfer- ence. + f a, 1 EXAMINATION SCHlED ULE UJNIVEtRSITY OF M 1I0IGAN COILEGE OF LITERATURE, SCIENCE AND THE ARTS COLLEGE OF PHARMACY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION SCHOOL OF EiDUCATION SCHOOL OF FOrESTRY AND CONSERVATION .

Armed Peace Orly IT'S CERTAINLY far from encouraging to learn that the one nation in today's pathetic world that disbanded its army was invaded nine days later. Costa Rica's Provisional President Jose Figueres, amid an ironically colorful cere- mony, disbanded the army declaring that Costa Rica was not a military country and wants more teachers than soldiers early this month. Then, alas! An army which the Costa Rican government claims was sent by Nic- aragua invaded the eCntral American na- tion fastSunday - True, the proportions are on the musical comedy scale rather than the grand opera scale of international wranglings. The dis- banded army, which never got a chance to completely demobilize, was smaller than the lit school and the invaders totaled slightly more than half the West Quad. And, as a matter of fact, some reports saoy the "invaders" are revolting Costa Ricans-Figueras' reign dates from May 8. But the tragi-comedy of the situation, that no nation may have peace without an army, is .just as stinging as it would be were the nations larger. For it would seem to indicate that the only peace in this battered world .is an armed peace, and that any nation which places books above battles will learn the hard way the error of its judgment. -John Davies.

MATTER OF FACT: Stronger Controls By JOSEPH and STEWART ALSOP VASHINGTON-Behind the White House scenes, the President's right and left wing advisers have been locked in another of their languid but embittered struggles. The issue has been the President's policy on economic controls and taxation. And the outcome can apparently be summed up in six bleak words-strong controls and much higher taxes. In these palace battles, even the com- position of forces is sometimes difficult to discern exactly. But there are signs, nonetheless, that the present struggle has shown variation from the prvvious pattern. The leading advocates of boldness have been the White House counsel, Clark Dlif - ford, and Dr. Leon Keyserling of the Eco- nomic Advisory Council. These two de- vised the ten-point inflation control pro- gram which the President offered to the special session of Congress in November, 1947, against the virtually unanimous ad- vice of his Cabinet. Their position thus remains unchanged, as does Truman's re- liance upon them. It is a change, however, that the Cabinet has remained largely aloof, except that Sec- retary of the Treasury John Snyder has given his customary advice to go slow. And it is also an important change that the chief champions of caution have this time been Dr. Keyserling's chief, the chairman of the Economic Advisory Council, Dr. Ed- win Nourse, and the Director of the Bud- get, James Webb. The lineup discloses the existence of two schools of thought about national policy, both beginning with almost the same assumptions, but divided on the crucial points of timing and range of gov- ernmental effort. The great advantage of the "go fast" faction has been their previous successes, prior to the fall session last year, and the summer special session this year. Perhaps a greater effort might have been made by the "go slow" group on those earlier occasions, if they had regarded the Presi- recommendations for controls of consumer credit and bank credit. The other recom- mendations were ostentatiously not con- sidered. But they will be considered this time. The President now speaks with tie confidence and authority of his great per- sonal victory on election day. He means to fight for the program which was once laughed off as mere election-year politick- ing. The mere preservation of consistency is not the only argument being used for excess profits taxes, however. Industrial profits have risen from $12.5 billions after taxes in 1946, which was then an all time high, to another all time high of $18.1 billion in 1947, to a third estimated all time high of $21 billion this year. The aim is to raise as much as $5 billion of added government revenue by new taxa- tion. The projected excess profits tax is not expected to produce more than about half of this sum. Thus it is probable that upward revision of individual income taxes will also be proposed. Straight repeal of the Knutson tax reduction bill is thought to be impracticable, but middle and higher bracket taxpayers will probably lose a good deal of what they have gained. Clearly, these will be unpalatable pills for the Congress to swallow. Yet it is pretty hard to answer the reasoning of the Pres- ident's "go fast" advisers when they point out that in the midst of world crisis, prud- ence demands strong measures to prevent any disastrous upset of the vital American economy. (Copyright, 1948, New York Herald Tribune, Inc.) h. d. MORE OF THE SAME: Of course the only situation I know of that is even stronger is the way the British go in for socialist planning at home, while carrying on the dustiest kind of old- fashioned imperialist policy abroad, as in their relations with the Arabs of the Middle East. This is the century in which one walks on uneven stilts, and complains furiously that the ground isn't level. NEWS NOTE: Young Philip Willkie, 28, who is campaigning for a "revitaliza- tion" of the Republican party, gave me the most accurate election forecast of anybody I spoke with before election day. He hit it pretty much on the nose, around October 10th. CHINA AID: The comparatively cold re- ception Madame Chiang Kai-Shek is receiving in Washington may turn out to be our smartest diplomatic stroke in months. It is certainly not hurting us with the Chi- nese people, nor with world opinion. It may even mark a break in our numb, pedestrian routiie of tamely supporting every reaction- ary in the world, so long as he is opposed to Russia. After Madame Chiang's trip, reactidn may no longer be able automati- cally to count on us, and that is good. Of course we still have much further to go before we will realize that our proper approach to reaction is neither to sup- port it nor to ignore it, but to be its actual, active enemy, in direct competition with the Soviet Union. The way to oppose Russia is to prove that our side gets rid of reaction faster, better. But we haven't even realized that we've been in this sort of competition with Russia. And so we've been jubilantly picking up allies whom she doesn't want, and is quite glad to let us have. We're not in a buatting- match with Russia; we're in a race. It is a race to win the faith of peoples. When the name of America becomes a terrible name7 to reaction, we shall have some chance of winning that race. But we certainly can't hone to win it unless we get into it.
