Qltor'd dote
By LEON JAROFF
COMMENCEMENT Day, 1950, will mark
the passing of the veteran from the
campus scene - the end of the GI era.
Of course, many more semesters will pass
before the last World War II veterans grad-
ia.te, but the great tide of GIs that engulfed
the campus in September, 1946, will, in ef-
fect, have reached its ebb.
Many of the groups and scenes symbolic
of the Era have already disappeared.

SIGNS OF OUR TIMES
STUDENTS wearing old GI clothing are
the exception today - a far cry from
the between-class crowds which, a few years
ago, turned the Diagonal into a sea of khaki
and blue.
The once-long lines of veterans waiting
near the East U. loading station for Wil-
low Village buses have dwindled notice-
ably and large sections of the Village it-
self stand gaunt and deserted.
Glass-fronted mail boxes at the quad-
rangles which, at the beginning of each
month, revealed row upon row of GI sub-
sistence checks now contain only a scatter-
ed few of the familiar brown envelopes.
And the loud and lusty American Veterans
Committee, once known for its hundreds of
members and headline-making factional dis-

putes, has shrunk to a small group of mel-
lowed vets who meet occasionally in a down-
town tavern to sip beer and quietly remi-
nisce.
In campus bookstores, money has again
become the major medium of exchange,
replacing the more convenient and eco-
nomical GI requisition card.
Even the English language has not es-
caped the passing of the Era. Chbw has
been renamed "food" and skivies are now
often referred to as "underwear."
THE ERA'S RESIDUE
BUT the more important contributions of
the veterans to the University will not
depart with them.
A strongly-entrenched student govern-
ment,,faculty evaluation programs, higher
academic standards and a more mature
attitude on the part of students toward
campus and world problems will not vanish
overnight in a blaze of goldfish-swallowing
and rah-rah.
But it is also true that the enthusiastic
18-year-old high school graduate cannot
fully take up where the skeptical, worldly
GI has left off.
With the passing of time, then, and the
gradual increase in the number of younger
students at the University, even these
more lasting effects of the GI Era will
disappear - accompanied by sighs of re-
gret from sentimental grads and harried
administrators.
And so, we usher out the GI Era, grateful
for its benefits but hopeful that there will
never be cause for its return.

WASHINGTON-Most important job put
across by Dean Acheson during the big
three conference was at a private Lancaster
house talk with Ernie Bevin. Actually, the
talk took place before the big three confer-
ence started and had to do with the all-
important, but oh, so tender question of a
British blessing for the proposed French-
German Iron-Coal pool.
Before talking to Bevin, Acheson had
been in Paris where Foreign Minister
Schuman had also discussed his plan for -
the French-German pooling of Iron and
Coal, and had expressed the fear that the
British would be opposed. So he asked
Acheson's help.
Personalities -sometimes play a big part in
moulding the peace of the world. One per-
sonal factor regarding the big three is that
Acheson and Schuman instinctively like each
other. Furthermore, Schuman, born in Al-
sace, a province that has been shunted back'
and forth between Germany and France for
almost a century, realizes the vital import-
ance of French-German cooperation.
As a boy, Schuman learned to speak Ger-
S[CURRENT MOVIES

0O* s
IS THIS life in a Japanese prison camp?
Clean white pillow cases, Army cots with
mattresses and blankets, raffia Venetian
blinds, scrub boards, and mosquito net-
ting - all housed in a converted i Army
barracks? I wonder.
"Three Came Home" is a true story. But
the setting doesn't match.
Claudette Colbert is Mrs. Agnes Keith,
the authoress of this story. She and her Bri-
tish-official husband (Patric Knowles) are
living on Borneo when the Japs invade the
island. They are sent to separate prison
camps, and Mrs. Keith's small boy goes with
her.
The women are shipped to prison camp
on an island in the Pacific Ocean. When
Claudette accuses a Japanese soldier of
criminally assaulting her, she is asked to
sign a denial of her original charge. She
refuses and is tortured. As she is about to
be tortured the second time, to her rescue
comes a soft-spoken Japanese colonel (Ses-
sue Hayakawa) who greatly admires her
writing ability. He believes her story and
and apologizes for her mistreatment.
A B-29 flies overhead, dropping pamph-
lets announcing liberation day. Mrs. Keith
is called into the sympathetic colonel's of-
fice and offered a cup of tea as he broken-
ly tells her that his family was on Hiro-
shima. Through his glycerine tears, one can
see that he is truly an officer and a gentle-
man.
To the strains of "She'll Be Coming 'Round
the Mountain," the women are reunited with
man along with French. When he grew up
he served in the German army in World
War I. He didn't want to serve, but he hac
to. Now, as Foreign Minister of France, he
believes that the two countries which have
bled each other white three times in 85
years must learn to live in peace.
And the key to peace is cooperation re-
garding the iron and coal of the Ruhr and
Rhineland.
* * *
ACHESON CONVINCES BEVIN
That, in brief, was the thesis which For-
eign Minister Schuman sold Acheson, and it
didn't take too much selling. Acheson was
strong for it.
The real selling was when Acheson met
Ernie Bevin in London. Here again per-
sonalities entered the picture. The British
consider Acheson a staunch friend. His
mother was a Canadian, a member of the
wealthy Gooderham-Hiram Walker whis-
key distilling family, and unquestionably
many of his policies have been strongly
pro-British.
Therefore, when Foreign Minister Bevin
started kicking over the traces against the
Schuman plan, he found himself facing the
persuasive arguments of a friend.
Bevin didn't like the economic union of
Western Europe for several reasons, one of
them being that the British Labor Govern-
ment must operate under fixed prices with a
protected market, and can't compete well
with the free mass market of a European
economic union.
Another reason is Britain's traditional
balance-of-power policy of playing France
and Germany against each other.
However, Acheson, during his private,
Lancaster House conference, pointed, out
that cooperation between France and Ger-
many was the only hope for future Euro-
pean peace and finally won the belligerent
British Foreign Minister around.
To show good faith, Prime Minister Attlee
next day made a guarded statement in the
House of Commons favoring the Schuman
plan.
* * *
BRITISH SABOTAGE?
However, State Department officials are
now worried over diplomatic grapevine re-
ports that the British have started working
backstage to scuttle the Schuman plan. Sub-
stantiation of these reports comes from John
F. Reynolds, a London observer with his
pulse on the foreign office, who writes:
"Now that the series of London confer-
ences is over, the Foreign Office is facing
one of its stiffest tasks. M. Monnet, the
French expert, has explained the (Schu-'
man) Plan to pool Western Europe's heavy
industries, a technical committee of inter-
national experts will get busy to work out
details, and it will be up to the Foreign
Office to stifle the plan.
"It will not be killed outright, but will be
softened considerably.
"Though Mr. Attlee has welcomed the
French initiative as a valuable contribution
to the promotion of European unity, both
THOMAS L. STOKES:
Memtorial Day
WASHINGTON. - Disillusionment mingles
with sadness on this Memorial Day.
Disillusionment because, five years af-
ter the end of the war, the ideal of peace
in the world for which those we honor
today gave their lives still is not a reality.
The world, instead, is filled with fears and
tensions that the "cold war" between us
and Russia may flare up, through .some
incident, into a third World War in which
civilization as we know it would be well-
nigh wrecked.
It is a dark hour, but in the dark hour
it often possible for human beings to take
the resolution that will put them back again
on the path toward solution of their dif-
ficulties. Bold leadership is needed for that.
THERE IS a connection with Memorial
Day that could give us a beginning.
On Memorial Day next year we are going
to bury an unknown soldier of the second
World War in Arlington National Cemetery
beside the unknown soldier of the first
World War.
Ceremonies attending the burial of the
first unknown soldier 28 years ago opened
the 1922 Naval Disarmament Conference
here called by President Harding on re-
quest by the Senate through a rider to
the naval appropriations bill of that year
and sponsored by the late Senator William
E. Borah (R., Idaho). That conference ac-
hieved a good deal under the leadership
of our Secretary of State, Charles Evans
Hughes, maintaining a balance in the nav-
ies of the world's great sea powers that
constantly kept attention on armaments
which, of itself, was an inducement to
peace.
We could make the occasion of the burial
of the unknown soldier of the second World
War the opening of another world disar-
mament conference. There is a whole year
for negotiations and arrangements and time,
too, for public opinion here and all over thy
world to assert itself.
A vehicle is ready. There is pending now
in the Senate a resolution submitted by Sen-
ator Millard Tydings (D.,Md.), chairman of
the Armed Services Committee, asking the
United Nations to call such a conference.
Originally he proposed that President Tru-
man call it, but changed the initiative to
the international organization representing
people everywhere.
AFTER THE first World War we refused
to enter the League of Nations, and
lost considerable influence on the course
of world affairs because of that failure. But
we are in the United Nations, its successor,
and there we can wield tremendous power.
Senator Tydings points out that $30,-
000,000,000 of our $42,000,000,000 budget
for next year is going for past wars and
protection against future wars - national
defense, veterans' care, public debt, for-
eign economic and military aid. Russia is
spending even more proportionately. He
believes that the Rusian people are just
as anxious as are ours to remove this tre-
mendous burden so that national resources
can be devoted to improving the lot of
people
Graphically the Maryland Senator traces
the ultimate end of such an arms race as
that in which the two great world powers
and their allies are now engaged. They are
playing a giant game of checkers on a board
which is "the volatile map of the world,
peopled by 2,000,000,000 human beings" and,
he says, if at some point they should quarrel
over which should occupy a certain square,
a conflict would ensue. That would not just
start another war, but a conflagration from
which "the wreckage - spiritual, economic
and financial - will be so strewn around
the world that, at best, the efforts through-
out the ages to improve the lot of man will
be set at naught."
Senator Tydings' project is a good one
to think on today and upon which to express
yourself to him and to other Senators so
that the Senate could go on record as did
the Senate 28 years ago.
It could be made to come to pass.

Hoover Proposals
SIXTEEN approved, five rejected - that's
the final box score on the President's
21 Hoover Commisson-based plans for gov-
ernment reorganization. It is not a bad
score, particularly when it is remembered
that one of the five plans rejected -- that
for the NLRB - was not sponsored by the
Hoover Commission. Yet it is not good
enough.
, This session's experience with reorgani-
zation re-emphasives the need for constant
public vigilance on the reorganization.
plans. It's all too easy for the legislators
to endorse economy oratorically, then to
sink specific economies by their votes.
