A1 ~LA~ t311'LY 1, 1J ..iU 9k 7hij CORNER 0@O b League Politicking RADICALS-who ought to have an impor- tant function in the University-have been growing pitifully weak. Anyone who has watched the recent activities of the Inter, Racial Association, or observed the factional squabble in the Committee to End Discrim- ination, or noticed the absence of the once- powerful campus American Veterans Com- mittee, must conclude that all is not what it might be. In fact, it has come to the point where the campus radical either degenerates in- to a half-hysterical propagandizer or gives up entirely and joins a Serious Group of Little Thinkers. The great days of the Gerhart Eisler "in- cident," and the picketing of the barber- shops, seem to be fading further in the past. All the avowed Communists have departed. There isn't even a Communist on The Daily any more-much to the regret, by the way, of its non-Communist editors-though we do have a few good conservatives. *~ * * DEMOCRACY is helped by radicals, almost anyone would admit that--and those who doubt it would do well to read "Why Communists Are Valuable," in this month's Harper's. The decline of the radicals at Michigan is doubly unfortunate because this is a conservative institution, where the status quo tends to seem better than any possible alternative. And where a radical has to be a clear thinker and a hard fighter to get anywhere, the 1950 Michigan version is doubly ineffectual. Whatever the reason for this decline- whether it is the cold war, local persecution, or a general loss of hope among the left wing-it's nothing to rejoice at. Surely it is better to have the case of the radical well presented, and the cause of the left-wing strongly advocated, than to allow all desire for change to die in default of any stimulus more effective than the maunderings of to- day's radicals. -Philip Dawson Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. NIGHT EDITOR: PAUL BRENTLINGER THE FURORE created recently over Wo- men's Judiciary Council petitioning rais- es the question of whether the League should continue to handle Judiciary appointments. Charges and counter-charges have flown concerning the League's petitioning and interviewing set-up. Perhaps League President Marjorie Flint furnished the key to the whole situation when she said it was "customary as a practical measure in making appointments" to ask women petitioning for League posts whether they'd be interested in positions other than those they were seeking. "Sometimes coeds don't petition for the jobs to which they would be best suited," she said. "A woman might apply for the office of treasurer when she would make a better vice-president." The implications of this statement are clear-that applicants for League positions are juggled into the positions where League authorities feel they are "suited," regardless of the office-seekers' choices. This juggling has long been practiced at the League, as observers can point out. As a result, petty politicking-sometimes charac- terized by whisper campaigns and mud- sling-has been a feature of appointments. This sort of thing may be "practical". So is picking the next Presidential candidate by bosses in convention hotel rooms, I sup- pose. But it smacks of undemocratic methods, from which Women's Judiciary should be divorced if it is to maintain the prestige and influence that can ultimately streng- then student government. League officers themselves avow that they desire the finest women possible serving on Judiciary. Their decision to re-open peti- tioning for the three Council positions is commendable, and it's to be hoped that a large number of able coeds will seek Judi- ciary seats. But, important though it is, the move is only a stop-gap measure. In the future, Judiciary appointments might well be turned over to a group like the Student Legislature which is more representative of all women students than is the League. I am not attacking Women's Judiciary it- self as an organization devoted to petty politics. Even though these unsavory me- thods of placement are not used in appoint- ing Judiciary members, the fact that they are employed generally for other League jobs makes that organization entirely unsuitable for making Judiciary appointments. In any event, the Judiciary should be freed from the atmosphere of back-room politics that now surrounds League appointments. -Mary Stein.

To the Editor: THE J-Hop Committee was care- ful in choosing the bands to play for this year's dance. It has been customary to have one band which is competent in specialty numbers and one band which is outstanding for its danceable mu- sic. Duke Ellington is bringing a 28-piece organization to the dance and with this large a group should be able to play some satisfactory dance music. The big point, however, for Messrs. Kershon and Passaris to remember is that by contract both Ellington and Louis Prima will play four slow, one novelty, and one of their own choice out of every set of six numbers. The bands will thus be playing music in accord with the dignity of the dance. We hope you and other skeptics will attend to hear the type of sentimental music these two bands can play. -The J-Hop Committee Ned Hess, Chairman To the Editor: IN THEIR LETTER to the editor last Saturday, Messrs. Kershon and Passaris didta magnificent job-of' showing their ignorance. It is certainly obvious that they have ri'ever seen the Duke at a dance, or possibly never even lis- tened to many of his 1,200 records, most of - which are "slow, senti- mental numbers." Certainly the type of music played by the Duke at a jazz con- cert is not particularly danceable, but it is not common practice to dance in an auditorium. Let me emphasize that this is not a jazz concert but a dance, and I am sure everyone will be very happy with the music emanating from at least one side of the ballroom.. --Ray Richardson March of Dimes To the Editor: A YEAR AGO students on cam- pus contributed a total of $466.88 to the March of Dimes .. Yet, should each of you contri- bute only one dime, we would have more than $2,000 to add to our fund. The county goal is $36,000, half of which will remain in the county, while the other half wil be sent to the National Foun- dation for Infantile Paralysis to be used for study and research and to ease the financial load of communities where epidemics hit the hardest. Polio is certainly the most in- considerate of all diseases. It crip- ples and kills without warning and with no regard for age, race or color, high or low income. In 1948, 27.894 persons were stricken with infantile paralysis, and 1949 rec- ords, yet to be completed, show an alarming increase in the number of cases of this expensive disease. The annual March of Dimes campaign for funds for the Na- tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is now underway and will continue through this month. The Washtenaw County chapter needs your help, for it pays the bills at University hospital . for those of you who might fall prey to this disease. Last. year the county ran $4,000 in debt because of the increased polio epidemic. Will you deny yourself the price of one large coke to help in the fight against polio? Mrs. Robert Langford, City Chairman. 1......... 2.......... 3.......... ..................W ed., ..................Thurs., ..................Fri., WASHINGTON-Only a handful of Re- publicans know all the details, but Gen- eral MacArthur had much more to do with stirring up the current furor over Formosa than even the State Department realizes. The General may or may not have meant to throw a political bombshell, but he has certainly caused more political headaches and come nearer to splitting the bipartisan foreign policy than any- thing in ten years-though, of course, Bri- tain's simultaneous recognition of China also helped. What MacArthur did was to have stern, private talks with visiting GOP Congress- men, especially bustling Senator Knowland of California, plodding Senator Ferguson of Michigan, and fussy ex-Princeton Profes- fessor Smith of New Jersey. MacArthur's lectures were delivered in a confidential MATTER OF FACT: 4. Gad, They'd Better By JOSEPH and STEWART ALSOP W ASHINGTON - The obyious (and known) intent of Secretary of State Acheson's speech on Asiatic policy was to prepare for the ultimate recognition of the Chinese Communist government. Perhaps the best way to approach this thorny prob- lem is through an old story. The story is re- peated here in certain quarters, where know- MUSIC DEPRESSION is a state one acknowledges and deals with, for the most part non- violently, when it is brought about by mat- ters tangible. When, however, one is thrust into it by such an art as music, performed without inspiration, without enthusiasm or interest, one feels violent impulses which can only be directed inwardly and result in a great disillusioned fatigue. I speak of the Franck D Minor Symphony and Thor John- son's Cincinnati Orchestra in concert at Hill Auditorium last night. Perhaps the musi- cians were tired-what they produced was tiring- a manufactured item entirely apart from themselves. It isn't fair to do that to music. Some may object to Sir Hamilton Harty's arrangement of a suite from "The Water Music" of Handel because of the augmented orchestra. Whether the fuller orchestra is a detriment to the music or not (an old de- bated question about transcriptions), it could have been enjoyable with more spirit, en- semble, and pretision on thge part of the orchestra. Fragmentarily Handelian, the suite lacked consistence of style, had cad- ences forced into ritard, and was inhibited rhythmically. We felt a little happy in the "Hornpipe" movement. Truly Strauss (Richard) employs the orchestra masterfully, creating great var- ieties of tone color, special effects, etc., but what does it mean? If you know the programme of "Joseph's Legend," you may have extricated some degree of pleasure' from the composition. Musically, alone, there was loud noise, clashing, banging, boistercusness, with little scheme to hold It together. If it were merely a case of technical faults-poor intonation, indecisive attacks, lack of complete ensemble, we wouldn't be so viciously wrought up. But the passiveness displayed in performing this music is some- ledge of our past follies in China does not ob- struct a realistic view of the present situa- tion. In brief, Boston's celebrated female transcendentalist, Margaret Fuller, once announced, in a moment of enthusiasm, that she "accepted the universe." Miss Fuller's acceptance of the universe was subsequently reported to Thomas Carlyle, who remarked dourly: "Gad, she'd better." The Chinese Communist government is now in full possession of China. Going on our bellies to Mae Tse-Tung will earn us a rebuff no doubt, as it has earned the British a rebuff. But pretending that facts are not facts, and that Mao Tse-Tung's government is not ruling China from Peiping, will get us nowhere at all. The obviously sensible thing to do is to open relations with this establish- ed government, at the earliest appropriate moment, and wtihout any indication of ap- proval. * * * RECENT EVENTS, moreover, have vastly strengthened the practical arguments for opening relations with the Chinese Com- munist government. Behind Acheson's hints about Tito-ism in China, there is solid in- telligence which the Secretary did not dis- close. It is probable that Mao Tse-Tung's visit to Moscow constitutes one of the great dramas in the whole history of the Com- munist party. The Chinese have a much more specific complaint against the Rus- sians Ohan Acheson indicated. At Moscow, the Kremlin is reported to be pressing Moa Tse-Tung for acceptance cir a standard satellite status, on the Polish or Romanian model. Mao Tse-Tung, in turn, is reported to be pressing for return of in- dustrial booty stolen by the Russians from Manchuria; for re-establishment of Chinese control of the chief Manchurian cities; and for permission to direct China's affairs as local necessities dictate. The divergence is very wide. * * * O THESE REPORTS of the Kremlin con- versations, one must add the even more solid evidence of what has now happened in Japan. Sanzo Nosaka, the real power in the Japanese Communist Party, spent the years from the mid-'30s onward with Mao Tse- Tung, whose close friend he is. When the war ended, he was sent to Japan to re-estab- lish the apparatus of the Japanese Com- munist Party, and to transmit to it the Kremlin line of that period. Evidently he established an apparatus personally domina- manner with severe instructions that he was not to be quoted. His language was also stiffer to the Congressmen than in his re- ports to the Army. Usually he started by saying something like this: "I have not been consulted by Washing- ton on strategy in the Far East, and parti- cularly on Formosa. If Formosa falls, the cold war is lost. Russia will control India in two years, and our position in Japan will be untenable. Russia now has 40,000 troops in fortified islands to our north." Those who raised a delicate question about Chiang Kai-Shek's integrity receiv- ed a haughty: "The Generalissimo is one of the great men to come out of the war. He was shamefully sold down the river at Yalta and Potsdam. He has been smeared by the apologizers and the radicals. Yes, there has been corruption in the Chiang regime, but it is a product of his environ- ment and tradition, and no fault of Chi- ang himself." MacArthur seemed to take pleasW-in overriding the State Department in sending two of the Sehators-Ferguson and Smith- to Formosa. After the State Department ve- toed airpline flights to Formosa for the two Senators, MacArthur sent the two Senators by a special plane with a guide from his own staff. Note 1-Secretary of Defense Louis John- son, who also made a big try for U.S. inter- vention in Formosa, is peeved at General MacArthur's extracurricular showmanship due to the fact that Assistant Secretary of Army Tracy Voorheees was especially sent to Tokyo in December to consult MacArthur and bring back his views. However, Mac- Arthur gave Voorhees no such alarming views as he gave the wide-eyed Congressmen. Note 2-Though not as eloquent as Mac- Arthur, Adm. Arthur W. Radford also argued to Congressmen who stopped off in Hono- lulu that Pacific fleet units should cover Formosa. (Copyright, 1949, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Last of the Krupps T HIS WEEK, in the now-quiet town of Salzburg,, Austria, an old man who held the military power of Germany in his iron fist for half a century died. He was Gustav Krupp, and with him died a bloody and disgusting legend. His massive armament plants produced the guns and steel and tanks and planes that laid Europe waste in two great wars. He inherited the foundries and forges of the Krupp family from his father-in-law, Fritz Krupp, and took upon himself the family name. With the aid of Emperor Wil- helm, he gained a monopoly of German ar- mament contracts in 1904, and helped to start the fiery rush of steel and explosive manufacture which culminated in the First World War. When the war ended in 1918, his plants employed an estimated 167,000 people and his untold profits were subjects of discds- sion in every country of Western Europe and the Americas. He joined with a racketeer named Hitler to start the German nation on its second trip to destruction, and once again reaped profits which placed the estimated worth of the Krupp family's holdings at between a half-billion and a billion dollars. He escaped his due share of responsibility in the crimes of the German war lords be- cause he was paralyzed and unable to attend English 1, 2 ............................
