GERMANY WILL NOT
TURN MONARCHIAL,
POLLOCKDECLARES
IN TEN YEARS VANQUISHED
PEOPLE HAVE, MADE
RAPID RECOVERY
SOCIAL-DEMOCRATS RULE
Student of Government Believes
Nation Will Take Place as
World's Second Power
"Out of one of the greatest de-
feats in history, the German peo-
ple have recovered their not com-
plete, but partial health in the short
space of a decade," declared Prof.
James K. Pollock, Jr., of the politi-
cal science department' in speaking
on "The New Germany" yesterday
afternoon in Natural Science audi-
torium. "I only wish that the
United States would endeavor to
understand the German people, for
soon that nation will be the second
greatest state in the world, and
through that understanding we
may go down the pathway of in-
ternational peace."
Professor Pollock, who spent the
greater part of the academic year,
1927-28, studying the, conditions in
the new republic, stated that all
indications evidenced a most re-
mote possibility of the return of
the old monarchial regime.
There are now seventeen states,
many of them the powerful old po-
litical divisions, organized under a
progressive constitution providing
for a parliamentary form of gov-
ernment-with a president, but on-
ly as' a figurehead-and the real
power in .the hands of the Reich-
stag. The prime minister and his
cabinet must have control of a ma-
jority of the 490 votes in the as-
sembly in order to maintain them-
selves. From out of the large num-
ber of parties there are only nine
important ones, but for any group
to have a majority it is necessary
for coalitions.
Politically, the most powerful
party in Germany at the present
time is the Social-Democrat, the
radical party, at the Left in the
Reichstag. Throughout the seven-
teen states this party holds corre-
sponding influence. Holding 150
of the votes, this group controls,
the proceedings of the legislative
body and the government. This
fact, linked with the refusal of the
people in a referendum, in which
15,000,000 votes were cast, to re-
turn property' rights to former
reigning princes, would- seem to
preclude any chance for an early
restoration of the old order.
Gustav Stresemann, the leader of
the People's party, has, according
to Professor Pollock, the profound-
est influence on German policy to-
day.
Among the other parties repre-
sented in the Reichstag are the
Democrats, a small group of intel-
lectuals.

UNIVERSITY To MAKE
VISIT OF FORD AIRPORT
Will Inspect Hangars, Landing
Fields And The Manufacturing
Plants And Laboratories
TO SEE BYRD'S AIRPLANE
A visit to the Ford airport, in-
cluding the hangars, landing fields,
manufacturing plant, and laborat-
ories will constitute the fourth ex-
cursion on the summer series. The
actual construction of the ltrge
tri-motored planes from the raw
material stage to the assemblage
of the plane will be viewed by the
party.
The airplane Byrd used in his
North Pole flight will be on display
at the factory, and also the Fokker
plane which the Detroiters Schlee
and rrock used in their globe trip.
These will all be leisurely inspected
with the assistance of a technical
expert, who will explain the intri-
cacies of mechanism and construc-
tion.
The hangar which is said to be
one of the best constructed in the
country, being of the contilever
type, supported entirely 4rom a
central pier, enables ships of any
wing spread to enter.
The long runways and landing
fields are exceptionally well laid out
and shoud give those taking the
trip a fairly adequate conception
of the large metropolitan airports
throughout the country.
The Stout Air Services provide
a sight-seeing trip and a 25 min-
ute airplane ride over Detroit
which may be enjoyed by any of
the party upon paymeilt of the
usual passenger fee.
REPETORY PLAYERS
TO PRESENT COMEDY
BY POULA R RQUST
IS THE SECOND PRESENTATION
UNDER DIRECTION OF
PROF. WALLACE
REHEARSE OTHER PLAYS
Salisbury Field Is Author of Play
Dealing with Comic Marital
Complications
Requests for a ridtous, rollicking
comedy have led to the production
of "Wedding Bells" by the Michi-
gan Repertory players for their
third offering of the summer sea-
son. Opening Wednesday night and
continuing throughout the week,
the play will be given at 8:15 o'clock
in the Lydia Mendelssohn theater
of the League building.
"Wedding Bells" will be the sec-
ond presentation of Play Produc-
tion directed by Prof. Chester M.
Wallace who established himself
with local theatergoers last week by
the work done on Galsworthy's
"Escape." Professor Wallace is
known as the foremost American
director of college productions.
Two and one-half hours of
laughing is guaranteed for this
comedy which opens with the mar-
riage of Reggie to the owner of the
dog which chewed his shoes that
he had left outside of his hotel
room door to be cleaned. Reggie
shortly catches the measles, and
complications set in. It is said that
the play met with hilarious suc-
cess in both London and Paris.
As one group of Repertory play-
ers is ready to present this offer-
ing, another is putting the finish-
ing. touches on next week's pro-
duction, and still a third group are
learning their lines for two and
three weeks in advance. The large
number of persons in Play Pro-
duction, and the wide variety of
plays given afford an opportunity
for each person to play a role.
HUMPHREYS TO TALK
AT ALL CAMPU FORUM
Summer students will have their
first opportunity to attend an all-
campus forum Thursday, July 11,
at 4 o'clock, in Lane Hall, under
the auspices of the Student Chris-
tian Association.
Assistant Dean W. R. Humph-
reys of the literary college, has
been obtained as speaker and his
subject will be "Religious Literat-
ure." After Dean Humphreys has
finished his lecture there will be a
discussion.
During the past semester these
forums proved successful. Practi-
cally every department of the
University was represented by a
'speaker at one of the ten which
were held at that time.

THIRTEEN FORE STE
TO STUDY TRE
Under the direction of Prof. Rob-
ert Craig, Jr., field work and class
instruction have been started at
Camp Filibert Roth, west of Mun-
sing, for 13 sophomores who have
finished their pre-forestry work in
the University Forestry school.
With Professor Craig is Professor
Shirley W. Allen, acting as instruc-
tor in two of the 'camp's three
oourses.
Through the courtesy of the
Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company, the
buildings of the company's' camp
156, located within the Mackinac
Purchase unit, have been obtained
for the use of the foresters, the
bunk house being used for a class
room as well as for sleeping quar-
ters.
Up to the present, field work has
mainly consisted of retracing old
section lines and the locating of
fire breaks in a practise plan forj
protecting the camp location.
Throughout the summer, a major
portionof the time will be occupied
