EAGE FOUR T HE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1951 J. (A'itted IT WILL BE interesting to see what action the Student Affairs Committee takes to- ward the newly formed Society for Peaceful Alternatives. Failure to extend the group recognition probably would mean little to most University students. But it could mean that the SAC has been pervaded by a fear which growingly seems to be gripping the nation. At the' start it must be admitted that the group can fail to qualify for any one of eight technical requirements listed for recognition. If it is denied recognition on technical grounds, there can be little com- plaint against SAC. But offhand, I can think of no shortcoming of the group on these grounds. There is one regulation, however, which could cause trouble. It states that the pro- posed organization or organizations with which it may be affiliated by name or other- wise do not engage in subversive activities against the government of the United States nor advocate the overthrow of that govern- ment. From the purpose of the Society put forth at its first meeting Thursday, this does not. seem to be the case. If it were true, it would be difficult to prove such a charge. To ac- cept the charge by implication would be to give in to one of the greatest sins of present living. And the implications have already been made. One girl running for the Student Legislature giggled, "Did you see this? The organizers of the thing are the two that went to the peace festival in East Berlin last summer." For her that summed up the whole plan e the SPA; it is nothing more than a pink, if not Red, front. This seems to come to a lot of people as the, truth. If they don't think of it them- selves, someone is glad to tell them. It is this type of thinking that will stifle the group even if it is recognized. A campus leader, who feels that the objectives of the SPA are basically his own, will not join it. "I want to get a job in the State Deparment some day. I'm afraid joining a group like this would ruin my chances." That's the whole point-fear. Everybody's afraid. The student is afraid. The State Department is afraid. Just why is hard to ascertain. It happened to a similar extent after World War I. .Basically, now, people are afraid of losing their reputation, their careers, their security. So more and more, people are actively adopting the role of cultural vigilantes. Yet it is more than the stifling of culture. Worse, it has turned into a stifling of per- sonality. The tyranny of the few over the many is turning into a tyranny over self. Success of the Society for Peaceful Al- ternatives is but a small scene in this drama of fear. As for this group itself, it does not seem completely justifiable to say, as the campus skeptic did, that SPA is made up of a bunch of naive people. I do not know any of the present members, nor whether they are naive or Communistic. But from their stated prin- ciples-reduction of arms, peace through ne- gotiations depending on the people of the world-I can only say that there should be more such naive ones in the world today. -Vernon Emerson Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. BARNES CONNABLE: Night Editor Internationalism The Week's News . .0.IN RETROSPECT . DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN THE UNITED NATIONS General Assembly now convening in Paris is starting on its seventh year. In the six preceding years, like a problem child, the United Nations had faced a grim world in its untiring efforts to find solution to the issues of world peace and security. During that length of time it has made important strides. It has partially solved the Arab-Palestine conflict. It has pre- vented the Kashmir feud from precipitat- ing into a bloody religious war. It has worked for the independence of a stable Indonesia. The UN has also accomplished much through its less publicized organs like the UNESCO, the World Health Or- ganization, the International Children's Emergency Fund and the International Bank. The UNESCO, for example, has combated illiteracy, promoted scientific research, and given technical assistance to the under-privileged nations. Even the administrative structure of the overall organization is so unique that it will serve as a profound object lesson for those na- tions which take intense delight in the tradition of red-tape, inefficiency and graft. It should, however, be admitted that this supposedly world organization was born with an inherent weakness. For it is a mere con- federation of sixty nations without any sov- ereignty with which to govern the destiny of the world. India has raised the important point that the present United Nations is not a genuine international system; she thinks that it is an alliance of western coun- tries camouflaged as internationalism. India realizes, perhaps more than many nations, that the old type of national sovereignty is obsolete and doomed, that there must be a new era of world cooperation. She has made it repeatedly clear, therefore, that she is quite willing to limit her independence with- in some international framework. * * * * THE RESULTANT EFFECT of lack of in- ternationalism has caused the polariza- tion of power to solidify into two blocks, one represented by the United Nations, the other' by the Soviet Union. This bi-polarization has caused "hot" tension areas in Korea, Indo-China, the Middle East, Morocco and Germany. It has made it impossible to im- plement the United Nations' Bill of Human Rights, which guarantees the equality of na- tions and peoples of the world. Consequently, the United Nations has failed to protect the rights of millions of underdogs in Africa and Asia, and to recognize their legitimate as- pirations for freedom and independence. The present constitution of the UN does not in- clude the direct representation of over 650,- 000,000 people. Even nations like Italy, China, Spain and Indonesia are still excluded from this organization either by the United States or the Soviet Union under the pre- text that they are fascist or communist. In the present atmosphere of tension, the United Nations, which has made it possible for the representatives of the sov- ereign powers to meet frequently, is serving to breed cold antagonism and distrust. The nations composing the UN cannot bring themselves to agree on basic issues. The failure to discuss and resolve mutually problems of peace, which arise from social, economic and political maladjustments will eventually lead mankind to World War III. Delegates have used and are still using the United Nations as a plabform for political and psychological warfare. In order to usher a new era of world co- operation the United Nations Assembly now in session should consider seriously the ques- tion of a strong' international system. The United States and the Soviet Union, the only potent powers, should take the lead in this direction. In order to attain a last- ing peace amongst nations of the world, the United States and the Soviet Union should both demonstrate now the willingness to make sacrifices as great as those they both shouldered as allies during World War II. They should be willing to make compromises, even though they are difficult for people of strong beliefs and convictions who have defi- nite ideas of their own place in this world and the place of other nations. No division amongst nations would be considered a men- ace to world peace and unity, provided that mutual confidence and trust are developed between the United States and the Soviet Union. An international system, with a limited form of sovereignty, will make it possible for the United Nations to preserve the spirit of the Bill of Human Rights. It will be easy then to make the "have nations" abandon colonialism anywhere in the world, to include all nations in the UN. A genuine international system under which the nations 'of the world can give up a measure of their sovereignty, while retain- ing their identity, is the last hope of peace for a confused world. -Jo Levine and Ojeamiren Ojehomon (Continued from Page 2) t 'I .r V;R..M A4 :. \ N, ++ ...:... Daily-Bill Hampton "All right, so maybe it's horsemeat. In this plape that could be a good deal!" HORSEMEAT EDUCATION-After exposure of horsemeat traffic between Detroit and Ann Arbor, a city veterinarian announced he would conduct a "meat education" program for the benefit of local restaurant owners. Next Tuesday he plans to lay before them "some strictly legal horsemeat" at a banquet-less meeting of the Ann Arbor Restaurant Association. * * * Local. . . AN EIGHT-INCH blanket of snow swooped down on Ann Arbor last Tuesday, burying the entire city in a record winter blast. The snow- storm, heaviest in early November history, snarled traffic, threw airport and bus schedules into unnatural confusion, and blizzarded hapless Ann Arborites back to their fireplaces. On campus, several snow- packed Venus de Milo's bobbed up, while students shuttled and slushed their way to classes. 4 .. 4 * z tw z s 1 S i 1 j 1 By STEWART ALSOP I CURRENT MOVIES At The Michian.. . ACROSS THE WIDE MISSOURI-Clark Gable, Ricardo Montalban, John Hodiak, Adolphe Menjou and J. Carrol Naish. HOUGH EQUIPPED with many able ac- tors and all the scenery and technical devices that both nature and Hollywood have at their disposal, this quiet Western falls short of what might be expected. Its story line, old and tried by time, is held together by a narrator telling the tale of his father, a great beaver trapper in Indian country. The action tikes place over a year's time in which Gable, leading a train of hunters, marries an Indian maid, granddaughter of a great chieftain, for what might be termed commercial advant- ages. In time, however, he falls in love with her and learns that there is more to the Indians than cruel warfare, that they are human beings with all the accompany- ing virtues and faults. In this approach to the Indian the movie follows the com- mendable pattern laid down by last sea- son's superior "Broken Arrow." Gable's wife bears him a child, her grand- father is shot by a vengeful trapper and she herself is killed by her own kinsmen in an attack on the hunters. In the end Gable goes to live among her people and raise their son in a mixed Indian-white man culture. In the course of these events there is too m- n' m- -.l2- - 4nn manr .. or- -cnr C AIRO-One fact is so obvious that it hardly needs restatement. Real Western military power here-at present embodied in the British troops and bases in the Suez Canal Zone-must at all costs be maintained, if this entire area is not to become a ripe plum for the Kremlin's picking. For the moment, however, British evacuation is not in question; nothing the Egyptians can now do will force a British withdrawal. This provides a certain breathing spell, which did not exist in Iran, in which to consider how the power of the Western alliance is to be maintained in this vital area, not only in the short run, but for the long pull. And for the long pull, the pros- pect is anything but happy. One wise and experienced Englishman here put it this way: "f the entire population really hates you, sooner or later your position becomes untenable. You're too dependent on the people, these days, for food and labor and communications and so on. We've found that out in Palestine and elsewhere." The entire population here-or all of it that matters-now "really hates" the British, at least as a symbol of something else. Both in thesMiddle and Far East, Americans and British have tended disastrously to under- estimate this mass bitterness as a force with which they must contend. In Iran, the line was, "The beggars will soon feel the pinch, and then they'll come to heel." This did not work in Iran. In the end, it will not work here. The bitterness of the Egyptians has certain- ly been artificially stimulated. Yet it is anything but artificial; it is real and uni- versally felt. As such it is a major political force, which it would be suicidal folly to disregard. * * * * MOREOVER, although Egyptians (with some highly intelligent exceptions, like U.N. delegate Fawzi Bey) constantly weaken their case by wildly overstating it, they do have valid reasons for bitterness. They con- sider the talk about the "sanctity of treaties" hypocritical hogwash-which in a sense it is, since the 1936 treaty with the British was something of a shotgun marriage to begin with, and has been disregarded since when it suited British convenience. As for the Sudan, Egyptian claims are obviously fanci- ful, but it is at least true that the Anglo- Egyptian condominium has had precious little "con" in it. Behind the issues of the treaty and the Sudan, however, lie deeper and more emo- tion-generating sources of bitterness. One is in the immediate nast-the creation of peculiar British political tactlessness which even now continues to enrage politically con- scious Egyptians. 4 .. , I ALL THIS adds up to a fierce national bitterness, often puerile in its very im- potence (like the blind, shrieking rage of a small boy) but no less dangerous for that. Somehow, sooner or later, means must be found (and the means are not United States Information Service movies) not to erase this bitterness, for that is impossible, but to bring it within manageable proportions. And this is possible-or should be. What is possible,"and what might be a great deal more effective than now seems likely, is the kind of well-timed grand gesture which Franklin D. Roosevelt-and Winston S. Churchill, too-once knew so well how to make. For example: a public recognition that the 1936 treaty is dead--which it is; an offer of real Egyptian participation in Canal Zone defense, including military aid and some command position; a serious pro- gram of economic aid; a really effective effort to deal with the Israeli refugees; a promise of an eventual neutral plebiscite irn the Sudan; and so on. The details are for the experts. But the general purpose is clear-to give the moder- ate and rational Egyptians, who exist, and who are our last hope here, some sense of participation and self-respect. The four-power proposal for Canal Zone defense was presumably designed to this end, but it was badly presented (much of the wording was lifted straight out of a Pecksniffian State Department draft) and idiotically timed (as both the able American and British ambassadors here futilely warn- ed their governments). And timing is all im- portant. The crucial moment will come when the present government, discredited by its own impotence, can safely be replaced by King Farouk. Any 'new government will be quite literally the last chance for the West. If we fail to strengthen a new gov- ernment by making some sort of bold and generous gesture, the government will fail to govern, and the street mobs and fanatics will take over. Then we shall fail also, in the end, throughout the Middle East. This sort of gesture is, to be sure, a tem- porary expedient, a means of buying time. But it is desperately necessary to buy time here, as elsewhere in the Middle East, if more permanent means are to be found to stop the crumbling and dry rot in this area. And just as the situation could "easily have CORNELL VICTORY-A large contingent of University students braved the uncertain weather and treked to Ithaca over the weekend- only to see a high-spirited Cornell football team rear up in the second half to hand Michigan a 20-7 trouncing. The outcome was a stunning blow to the Wolverines, as the underdogs ripped gaping holes in the blanket of blue. * * * * VERDICT NEARS-The fate of three Washtenaw County teen- agers standing trial for first degree murder is expected to be decided Tuesday by a Circuit Court jury. The youths told the court this week that they were intoxicated when they took part in the brutal robbery- slaying of Nurse Pauline Campbell the night of Sept. 15. WHY COMPLAIN?-Assiduous University officials balanced the budget last week in their annual financial report and were surprised to discover that this institution can claim $147,579,272 assets-highest in its history. The report, draped in customary obfuscation, tallied a $12,000,000 asset increase over the 1949-50 fiscal year, due chiefly to the large number of donations and bequests. STOP SIGNS-Heavy-lidded city officials finally installed stop- signs at the hazardous Maynard-E. William intersection. They did so with unusual dispatch-after a bad collision at that spot a week ago sent two persons to the hospital. A bus and a car were involved in the wreck. National .. . EISENHOWER FOR PRESIDENT?-A flurry of Eisenhower rum- ors swept the country as "Ike" flew home from Paris for a brief confer- ence with President Truman. Wishful thinkers of all descriptions scampered to their typewriters and ground out "inside reports" on the Eisenhower visit. Various dispatches hinted: 1) That President Truman had offered to step aside and support the General on the Democratic ticket. 2) That the General had agreed in a telephone interview that he would run "if it is shown to be his duty." 3) That Eisenhower had reaffirmed his '48 declaration that he was not a candidate. VOTE AGAINST SIN-Most significant conclusion which could be drawn from the returns of scattered off-year elections this week was that the voters are reacting strongly to recent exposures of big-time corruption in government. In New York, Rudolph Halley, independent candidate, capitalized on his reputation as crime investigator for Sen. Kefauver to administer a stinging defeat to Tammany Hall. In Phila- delphia, the Democrats swept into office on an anti-vice campaign, breaking a 68-year GOP reign. And even Boston's beloved ex-convict Mayor James Curley was turned out of office by newly-aroused con- stituents. DISARMAMENT BANTER-President Truman fired another shot "heard round the world" as he broadcast a disarmament plea-with teeth. Simultaneously the Big Three introduced the proposal at the Paris General Assembly meeting. The President asked for outside in- spection to police any arms cut agreement. This sort of enforcement has been unacceptable to the Kremlin in the past-and it is unacceptable to them now. Vishinsky laughed off the proposal and peeled off a routine Red counter-proposal. However, the Russians would find it difficult to laugh off the propaganda value of the proposal. International DOUBLE STALEMATE-Both talking and fighting went on this week in Korea without much success for either side. The hope for a quick end to the- fighting which flared brightly last week was still flickering as the negotiators agreed to everything but the disposition of Kaesong. But the talks appeared to be once again degenerating into a ring-around-the-rosy affair. -Crawford Young and Cal Samra needs teachers for the school for thei lind or partially sighted; for the a school for the deaf or hard-of-hearing; Pr nd for an instituton for the mentally s retarded or for delinquent children. d They also need employees to supervise and teach classes in academic subjects at state penal institutions.
