X, No. 13 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1929 PRICE FIVE CENTS 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. INEW COACH I I-.- Harry G.

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.

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 with practise in estimating stand- ing timber. constructing volume RS ATTEND CAMP EES AND MAP WOODS cies of trees, and mapping forest l lands.
