ATHERTON CREDITS MANAGER ...................JOHN S. PARK 4 rculation Manager...............J. Cameron Hall Office Manager ............................Robert Lodge noosevelt's eace Speech . . RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S speech at Chautauqua last night was a good vigorous declaration for peace, and it is comforting in the midst of 'the war games to have our Chief Executive take a stand against imper- ialism and for world armament reduction. Yet his speech left certain vital questions unanswered. The situation in Spain, except inferrentially, was not mentioned by the President. In the State Department instructions to diplomatic and con- sular representatives in Spain, made public on Wednesday, a clear policy of neutrality was indi- cated, but that too left certain questions not clear that European nations would like answered. Be- cause a state of war is not existing, the United States cannot legally prevent its nationals from doing business with the beillgerent forces in Spain, but Mr. Roosevelt did not say whether he would protect shipments to Spain if they were seized by either force, or even, conceivably, by .a blockade established by European subscrib- ers to a non-intervention pact. He did not warn American citizens that if they travel on ships which touch at Spanish ports they do so at their own risk. He did not discourage muni- tions makers from trade with what would ordi- narily be legitimate for them, the Spanish gov- ernment, and it is possible that if the non-inter- vention pact is successful, the Spanish govern- ment will be in the market for American muni- tions and money. The President said that we must choose peace rather than profits, but the time requires a more forceful, specific statement of the government's position. It is interesting to observe too that in the case of South America, peace is synonymous with profits, for American business men have been trying to establish strong pan-American amity as a basis for taking away some of the 'trade now going to the Japanese. In his statement of our relations to the League of Nations, President Roosevelt stated that we had not cooperated politically, but that we had cooperated in the League's social and humani- tarian activities. He neglected to mention that the tremendous increase of our oil exports to Italy virtually cancelled the effect of the Leagge's oil sanction. We may consider ourselves one of the good reasons why the League could not cope with the Italo-Ethiopian crisis. The conclusion of President Roosevelt's speech was very effective but it was unfortunately couched in such metaphorical language that it cannot itself be the basis of any better interna- tional understanding. In a speech in London Thursday, George Lansbury, former leader of the British Labor party who spoke in Ann Arbor sev- eral months ago, asked that President Roosevelt, as the head of a country whose disinterestedness would guarantee universal respect, call together the present League of Nations in a world confer- ence to make the Briand-Kellogg pact effective. Such action could be effective only to the extent that it implied that, with a' reorganization of the League of (Nations along certain lines, the United States would be a willing partner in active eco- nomic and political peace efforts. These comments are not intended to disparage Mr. Roosevelt's foreign policy as a- whole. He has done effective work in South America, and his State Department is working toward a basis for economic cooperation between nations, one of the soundest ways of establishing international amity. His Chautauque speech, however, would have been more effective had it outlined in spe- cific terms a course of action for the United 'States government and its nationals in the present situation.

Questions To the Editor: I am interested in having the following ques- tions answered. I have noted several commenta- tors who have contributed to The Forum who have raised these issues without answering them. Any aid you may be able to extend in obtaining answers will be deeply appreciated. 1. What "personal liberties" have I lost dur- ing the Roosevelt advinistration? 2. How have my "private rights" been invaded ing the Roosevelt administration? 3. Does the fact that President Roosevelt sponsored and signed unconstitutional leg- islation mean that he attempted to nullify and destroy the Constitution of the United States? 4. Does the fact that Governor Landon spon- sored and signed unconstitutional legisla- tion mean that he attempted to nullify and destroy the Constitution of the State of Kansas? 5. When Governor Landon openly supported the A.A.A. did he know it was unconstitu- tional? 6. When Governor Landon extended the farm moratorium by executive order was he try- ing to establish a dictatorship by abrogat- ing the powers of the Legislature, since his executive order was held unconstitutional by the Kansas Supreme Court as usurping Legislative powers? Does this attempted misuse of office indicate fascist tendencies in the Kansas governor? 7. Assuming that the Republican party and the Constitutional Democrats are right when they allege President Roosevelt is un-American and anti-Constitutional, does the fact that more legislation sponsored and signed by Landon as Governor has been declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court mean that Landon is more un-American and more anti-Constitutional than Roosevelt? 9. Does the fact that Governor Landon sup- ported inlonst itul ional legislation mean that he cannot tell the difference between cnsti tutional and unconstitutional legis- lat ion? If he cannot as governor, do you think he could as President? 10. If Landon is elected to the Presidency will he still hold the same hostile attitude to- ward educational institutions as he now does as evidenced by the 40 per cent cut in the educational appropriation in Kansas during his administration? 11. Is the Republican idea of sufficient relief for a family of four persons. $1.08 per week, as does their presidential nominee, and is this what the unemployed have to look forward to if Landon is elected? -A Reader. The Musicians In The Pit To the Editor. The writer wishes to inquire why both Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Lichtenwanger exhibited a very regrettable negligence with reference to Mr. Mattern and the orchestra in their respective re- views of "The Pirates of Penzance." Probably no one element contributes more to the success or failure of a performance of this type than the musicians in the pit, and no one element suffers greater neglect if the performance is successful, or greater criticism if it fails. This is in no way intended to detract from the evident excellence of Mr. Windt and assistants, or of the cast. But, inasmuch as it was elected to dignify the produc- tion by calling it an opera, it seems only proper to adhere to operatic tradition and at least men- tion the conductor's name, no matter if the per- formance were good, bad, or indifferent. The writer will not attend "The Pirates" until later in the week, but he has seen enough of Mr. Mat- tern's work to doubt that Wednesday's perform- ance was either bad or indifferent. -Cincinnati.

U A Conservative Views The Future -Former Radical Summarizes A Program For Capitalism- (George E. Sokolsky in I SPEAK AS A CONSERVATIVE. In my youth I ran, the gamut of revolutionary movements. Anarchists, pacificist, I.W.W. sympathizer, I have sought this path and that to a better, a more commodious life, not only for myself, but for all men. Let no man think of me as a Tory, as a Bour- bon, as a heartless marauder in a predatory world. For I have nothing to defend-not even chains to lose. In terms of goods, poverty has been most gen- eral in non-capitalistic countries. For the imme- diate objective of capitalism is that standards of living shall ever be on the rise. More particularly, capitalism seeks that the purchasing capacity of a constantly increasing number of purchasers shall ever be on the rise. Mass production, modern merchandising, ad- vertising, the creation of new commodities, the popularization of old ones, have but one objective -namely, increased usage, increased consump- tion. And in pursuance of this single objective it. has become altogether clear, beyond the barest shadow of a doubt, that not the expensiveness of a commodity but its cheapness makes it of greater value to its producer. The less it costs to buy an article, the more readily that article comes within the purchasing power of an increasingly large number of people. This, then, is the only economic system in which it is possible to give practical application to the moral dictum of the greatest good for the greatest number without utilizing political dis- turbance as a means to that end. In this alone, if in nothing else, capitalism justifies itself. It is evident from this statement of the situa- tion that in capitalistic production it is essential for wealth, in the sense of purchasing power, to be widely diffused. Thus, contrary to Marxian theory, in the United States the ownership of wealth is more widely diffused than in any other country on earth. Three specific characteristics mark the opera- tions of the capitalist system at its best: 1. A higher return to the investor than he can receive from economic passivity, as when he invests in Government bonds for security alone. 2. Wages so scientifically just that the pur- chasing power of the worker constantly increases. 3. An adequate return to the farmer so that manufactured goods and the benefits of urban living are more generally available to him. These three characteristics are normal in the United States. The relationship between democracy and cap- italism is not an inherent one, but this is a self- evident truth: democracy continues to flourish in countries where capitalism is most developed; it declines and disappears in those countries where the capitalist system is underdeveloped or does not exist. In Communist, Fascist, and precapitalist coun- tries, democracy does not exist. To those for whom political liberty as enun- ciated, for instance, in the Constitution of the United States has no significance, the preserva- tion of democracy is futile. But the current view of the world forces the overwhelming conviction that for the individual man there can be no will, no personality, no character, almost no value in life, unless he enjoys that liberty. The capitalist system is by no means perfect. The Atlantic Monthly) tendency to monopoly. Large-scale production, the control of capital by banking groups, govern- ment price-fixing as under the NRA, control of operations during wars, the nationalistic stabili- zation of essential industries, are but a few of the causes which may result in monopoly. 2. The tendency to bureaucracy is not only evident in government, but in business as well. After the initial pioneering group has disap- peared from an enterprise the organization tends to become stabilized into a more or less self-per- petuating bureaucracy in which seniority rather than capacity marks men off for advancement. In the capitalist system there is no room for uncompetitive overhead, and that is what a bu- reaucracy represents. 3. Excessive wealth often defeats itself in Caligulan exhibitionism. Really the evil is lim- ited to the individual. -In fact his excesses, in economics, act as a means for a swifter redistri- bution of wealth. 4. Under both Communism and Fascism, class distinctions are inevitable, whereas we seek to avoid class distinctions altogether. As beneficial as this is to the individual in a demcratic state, it has this essential weakness, that when an attack is made upon the capitalist system there are no capitalists to defend it, and when an attack is made on democracy there are no democrats to defend it.. That sounds like a rhetorical inexactitude, but when we look at cur- rent literature, at present lecturing, even at the current drama, the emphasis is all in opposition and the defensive forces are weak. Even the so- called free press, even the great capitalistic monthlies, publish vicious, unjustified and badly conceived attacks on the very system which keeps them alive. The objective should be the improvement of the capitalist system and the conserving of de- mocracy. First comes the whole problem of employment. In the United States unemployment and re-em- ployment during the depression and the recovery have been considered politically. Both have be- come political weapons for the destruction and retention of political power. The fact that no one in the United States knows how many unemployed there are as com- pared with the unemployed in 1929 is not only astonishing, but a self-evident criticism of gov- ernment. An employment census is the most essential economic step which can be taken in the United States today. Secondly, in the United States we face the specific task of restoring orderly processes of democratic government. These processes have become disorganized and confused by the depres- sion and the assumtion of emergency permissive powers. Thirdly, we have ,et up a form of relief to care for our marginal population. The problem is so to reorganize relief activities that they be- come focused on their own elimination. Fourthly, restrictions, placed upon economic activity, particully state-imposed rigidities and exorbitant taxation, prevent private industry from expanding sufficiently to re-employ the total number of unemployed. These restrictions should be removed as rapidly as possible. Graduation Recitals To the Editor: So complete and excellent has The Summer Daily, and particularly the editorial page, been, that it was a dis- tinct surprise and disappointment to many of us to find that you neglect- ed to review the Thursday evening Master's piano recital of Miss Su- zanne Malve. One of the accepted, and often one of the most useful, functions 'of a good newspaper is artistic criticism. In a University community, where a large part of the artistic production is undertaken non-professionally by persons standing on the threshold of careers that are often potentially great, it is particularly true, it seems to the writer, that both amateur ar- tists and youthful audiences stand to enjoy and to profit by considered critical reflection upon the stand- ards, viewpoints, and techniques ex- hibited. The Summer Daily is to be praised for having afforded its readers well-expressed criticism of almost all of the drama and of a good part of the music produced in Ann Arbor during the Summer Ses- sion. But some of us feel that grad- uation recitals of Music School stu- dents have deserved more notice than has been accorded them. Over and above the fact of this general need, however, stands the unique excellence of the pianist whose interpretations of Bach-d'Albert, Beethoven, Franck, and Schumann completely enthralled her audience Thursday night the Music School Auditorium. Miss Malve's work is tremendously good, and, regardless of The Daily's general policy concern- ing graduation recitals, the concert on Thursday was a ma-jor event to which The Daily should have directed some attention.

CLI PPI[NGS Thomas To Landon (From The New York Times) N A LETTER to The Los Angeles Times, made public yesterday, Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President, further clairfied his recent correspondence with Gover- nor Landon concerning organized labor and denied that Governor Lan- don had fully answered him. Mr. Thomas' letter follows: "The Editor, "Los Angeles Times, "Los Angeles, Calif. "In your issue of Aug. 1 there ap- pears an editorial entitled "Landon's Labor Position.' In the course of it you say 'It must be said for Thomas that he is man enough to admit that his question has been fully answered.' I never made any such admission. On the contrary, I called attention to the fact that Governor Landon did not say specifically what he would do about the C.I.O. organizing cam- paign in the steel country or the Southern Tenant Farmers Union campaign in the cotton industry. "I disagreed sharply with the Gov- ernor's implied position in praise of company unions, which are never free unions, but always rest upon ac- tual orimplied coercion. I criticized very sharply the Governor's record in failing to push labor legislation in Kansas and in using troops so that in effect he broke a strike. "Whath I did say was that his state- ment on the right of labor to or- ganize in its own unions was definite- ly in advance of his acceptance speech. To this I may add that I think it was as explicit a statement as the President himself had given, at least down to the time of his signing of the Wagner Bill. - "Landon is one of the many Gov- ernors who have a bad record on labor laws and on the use of troops or other strike-breaking forces. The other Governors are mostly Demo- crats and in fairness to Governor Landon it ought to be pointed out that the Governors of most of the Southern States, Governor McNutt of Indiana and possibly Governor Marland of Oklahoma have even worse records from a labor stand- point. "That is no praise for Governor Landon. It is a description of a very unsatisfactory condition, from a labor point of view. Governor Landon met one part of my question by a clear- cut statement. He still has much explaining to do on his general labor stand. "Sincerely yours, "Norman Thomas.'' Crew Finds Last 2 Of6 bDead Miners MOUNTAIN CITY, Nev., Aug. 14.- 'P)-A helmeted rescue crew recovered tonight the last two bodies of six men who perished in the gas-filled depths of a copper mine. Gxim-faced miners and their wives and children crowded about the en- trance of the Mountain City Copper Mine shaft as the bodies of Albert Atel. 41, and Frank Teizera, 44, both of Mountain City, were lifted from the 600-foot shaft. The bodies were taken to a mortu- ary and placed beside those of four VOL.
