THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1 tect maladjustments and to respect their sig- nificance, rather than using threats to reform the child. She should be able to refer to arschool or city psychiatrist, who could confer with her and the parents to advise treatment for the child, whether the maladjustment has originated in tb,1 home, in inability to get along with playmates, or inability to do good school work. As the child progresses in school, assemblies or classes should be devoted to rules for mental health, and, although expert opinions on them vary,* certain ones are generally acceptable. Thus, each person needs to know his capacities, so that he may seek to fulfill them but not to aim beyond them. If they are less than he would like to have, he needs to develop an acceptance of them. Again, one should worry no more than he can help. Hard as this sounds to the chronic worrier, it is more a matter of habit than is ordinarily supposed, and it is possible to deny as well as to cultivate it. Presented a situation, one should face it, analyze it and decide a course of action and then not repent. Chronic regret or "con- science" is often a prodroming of neurosis or psychosis. When a child thus trained leaves school, he will be better prepared to face strains without breakdown, to recognize symptoms of mental dis- turbance and seek out a p'operly trained physi- cian to treat him, and, finally, he will be prepared to give his children a better beginning and, thus, a better course in life. IAs OthersSee It Thoughts On Far-Eastern War (From Chicago Daily News) CHINA WILL FIGHT-is fighting now. That much seems clear. And Japan cannot back down. The war is on. For how long? Who can say? Months, assuredly; perhaps years. China is a vast country, and if it resists with any skill at all it cannot be crushed or conquered quickly. Meanwhile what will Russia do? It is vaguely threatened by Germany in Europe, and it will not care to risk having to fight on two widely sep- arated fronts at once. Moreover, Stalin has been executing some of his best generals and tech- nicians. But a war between China and Japan can hardly leave Russia indifferent. If Japan beat China, would not Russia's turn come next? Therefore, will not Russia be tempted to help China now? And if it does, will Japan extend its attacks to Russian territory-to Vladivostok and Russia's far-eastern provinces, which Japan has long coveted? Confronted by such problems as these, and with possible European complications in mind, the statesmen of Britain and France will doubt. less seek a common policy of neutrality an vigilance, then wait. Both, undoubtedly-but more particularly Britain-may be expected to keep in close touch with Washington, if, indeed, Britain is not already in close touch with Wash- ington. For a war in Ethiopia or Spain is one thing; it can be circumscribed and isolated. But a war between China and Japan, threatening to involve Russia, is something incalculable. And what of our own policies? We shall re- main neutral-that goes without saying. But how? In what conditions? We can go it alone. Or we can keep more or less closely in touch with Britain and France, to work out some common program. Under exist- ing treaties, we are more or less bound to con- sult with other peaceful nations in time of crisis. But we are not bound in advance to any program of action-not internationally. We are definitely hampered, however, by the foolish and dangerous neutrality law which Con- gess and the President recently insisted upon adopting, under which, without the slightest necessity, we more or less surrendered in advance our freedom of action, in the matter of. trade with belligerents. Japan has its own war industries. China's war industries are still in the making. Japan makes its own equipment. China has to buy abroad many of the arms and supplies it needs for self-defense. President Roosevelt invoked the law and declared embargoes in the cases of Ethiopia and Spain. In a passive way we thereby helped Italy against the Ethiopians, and Franco against Madrid. Having created these prece- dents, Mr. Roosevelt is faced now with the di- lemma either of pretending that the Sino-Jap- anese war is not a war, or of admitting the fact of war, and putting on embargoes, the result of which would be to help Japan's aggression and handicap China's defense. For a considerable part of China's military equipment is American, and while China might still buy arms in Britain, Russia and elsewhere, these arms would not be of the same models China now uses. It is to be hoped, in the interests of fair play and of future world peace, that the President will find some way of keeping a free hand as long as possible even under our shortsighted neutrality law. Adjusted Taxes (From Hamilton Gazette) "NE OF THE SUGGESTE DMEANS by which the general tax burden Can be equalized and lowered without impairing the operation of government is the income tax, especially on incomes in the higher brackets. It has been shown that the retail sales tax, while an effec- tive means of obtaining revenue quickly, is detri- mental in the long run from a social and eco- nomic point a of view. The inadequacy of the property tax lies in the fact that the value of real property and of personal property, such as furniture, implements, and equipment, can be readily concealed. Where the taxes on property. have to carry the entire burden and are neces- sarily high, experience has shown that people -01 mndpri them Where ninenmp tnov hnochPann On The Level By JAMES A. BOOZER BEING WRESTED from my Pickwick Papers and coffee with the abrupt notification, "You write the column tomorrow," is an ominously distracting procedure for two reasons. First of all, guest columning approaches in difficulty the paroxysmal agony of a first column, where you don't know exactly what to say to make a good impression. Second, I have shied away from such a medium of expression since my piquant newsy paragraphs in a local weekly publication brought demands from a young lady for a public apology, and again from a big bruiser a request to step into the alley- * * * * WATERED SILKS SWISHED down the aisles to the last lamplit melodrama 25 years ago in University Hall auditorium, and now this old place, barricaded and covered with dust, once seating 3,000 students, dreams in unhurried sleep of past glories--lone with its reveries of Emer- son and Schumann-Heink, who came there. Each day 12,000 students rush past the closed portals and few of them know it is there. We were introduced to the old hall two semes- ters past, and stood there without speaking, in the midst of what seemed a shrine, as the snow swirled outside in a December dusk. To those such as Secretary Shirley Smith, Regent Julius Beal, and others with whom we've talked en- joyable hours about the Hall, should they stand there now they should certainly hear faint echoes of the melodious voice of forceful William Jen- nings Bryan-James Whitcomb Riley reciting to a hushed audience, "Good-bye, Jim," back in 1893-and erudite Charles A. Dana-or the im- mortal Paderewski evoking all the possible beauty from Chopin's "Nocturne"- Invocation of such memories of the far-far- away must include Mme. Ernestine Schumann- Heink, her voice, as rich and deep as her soul, flung to the high ceiling .. . and the then "prom- ising" naive Alma Gluck . . . and to their ears must come even now the vague but ever indelible impressions of Bill Nye, Hamlin Garland, Booker T. Washington, Mark Twain, Champ Clark and others of a gone day in brave parade. They. must, if they listen with alert ears, catch the reverberations down the years of John Phillip Sousa's band bursting into that new march, "The Stars and the Stripes Forever," . . . they must hear the sobbing violin of Kreisler, and the dancing tunes of one Victor Herbert ... James Burrill Angell's lie was intimately in- terwoven with that of old U. Hall auditorium. When its splendor was given the final touch in 1873, he had been prexy for two years, and it was only four years after he gave his last swing- out address in trembling, hesitating words on May 4, 1909, that the last ripple swept across the last audience, and Hill Auditorium was dedicated. It can't be many years before the old place will be torn asunder, for it serves no practical pur- pose in this world of common sense. But now it stands proud, like something out of the past, its dreams hardly disturbed by the soft fall of December snow and the summer breeze brushing the leaves of the ancient trees outside its lofty ornamental dome. * * * * COEDS SEEM to be measured for their ca- pacity for drinking rather than their capacity for thinking. But this young woman at a recent unofficial fraternity party, combined the two with. exquisite adroitness. She swirled in an ecstatic mist for an hour before passing out. We kept the note to her roommate she had pinned on her chest before the final swoon. The mes- sage, it's ink blurred by an indiscreet Tom Col- lins, bears the words: "Pulease Connie, Pin My Hair Up." * * * * OUR BARBER remarked that the students will be deserting the place in a few days, and with some thought added, "And it won't be long until the college boys come in again." Next week the campus, mAde quiet by the absence of 5,000 souls, will slumber in terrible stillness. The carillon will boom out the quarter-hours to resound only on the emptiness of the ivy-entwined buildings. The campus will hear no off-key seranading those midnights, and the classrooms will be strangely silent, as no footsteps cross the thres- holds. A deadly quiet will permeate the campus, the slight breeze in the old trees is the only thing that stirs. ONE OF THE MOST important activities of college is just talking. And surroundings are perhaps the greatest factor in stimulating and influencing talk and moods to fill nostalgic mem- ories a decade hence. The Parrot, where chat- ter of forthcoming dances is interspersed by comments on professors and people, how tough bluebooks are, and what orchestras are best, thrown against a filigree of smart cracks, and all drowned in a wave of swing music. And in op- position the quietude of Foster's Tea Room with Prof. Artie Cross seated across the way with his cane, and small log burning in the fireplace of a winter's afternoon, encourages talk of books and make-believe.
