Idiot's Delight' To Open Here At 8:30_Today Season's Fourth Offering To Be Anti-War Play By Robert Sherwood- "Idiot's Delight," Robert Sher- wood's vastly amusing anti-war fan- dango will have its Michigan pre- mier at 8:30 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre when the Re- pertory Players present it as the fourth offering of the Summer' Ses- sion. Near one of the corners of Europe at the start of the next war Sherwood has gathered a handful of people in a hotel lounge. It is Italian territory, and the principal guests are civilians who represent various points of view. When war does break every one re- verts to nationalistic hatred except a courtesan and an American hoofer. As the bombs fall around the hotel they make small talk and conclude the play with "Onward Christian Sol- diers." As Mr. Sherwood says, they are the little people for whom the deadliest weapns are the most merci- ful. Principal members of the cast are: Charles Harrell as Harry Van; Vir- ginia Frink Harrell as Irene; Edward Jurist as Quillery; Stephen Filipiak as Captain Locicero; Ivan Cole as Achilel Weber and S. J Bernhard as Donald Navadel Breit Talk Analyzes Proton Attractions The work done in the attempt to analyze the forces which cause pro- tons to attract each other when ex- tremely close together was the topic featured in the talk on "The.

Corrigan who momentarily revived that era of aviation when devil-may- care young men flew "by the seat of their pants," today received world ap- plause and a vaudeville offer for his transatlantic flight. The grinning 31-year-old Califor- nia mechanic, insisting that the flight in his $900, out-moded "crate" of a plane, "wasn't much," busied himself over plans to return to the United States-by boat.

Prime Minister Eamon De Valera congratulated Corrigan on the 3,150- mile flight from New York-a jour- ney which the amateur airman in- sisted, with twinkling eyes, resulted from erroneous setting of his compass. De Valera patted the visitor on the back and heard details of the little "mistake" in direction which landed Corrigan yesterday at Dublin's Bal- donnel airdrome instead of Long Beach, Calif. (The United States Department of Commerce today suspended the ex- perimental certificate for Corrigan's plane and asked the State Depart- ment to deliver the order to Corrigan at Dublin. (Colonel J. Monroe Johnson, acting secretary of commerce, explained that Corrigan by making the unauthorized flight, violated terms of the certifi- cate which had authorized a non- stop flight from Los Angeles to New York and return). Ford Excursion To Leave Today Sightseers To Pay Second Visit To Rouge Plant Special buses will convey the sev- enth University Excursion party to the Ford Motor Company River Rouge plant near Detroit at 12:45 p.m. to- day.

Linguists Aid Fight Agoainst Propaganda Hayakawa Says Popular Linguistic Naivete Can Be Dispelled By Scholars Definition Of Term Is Essential Need With the assertion that language scholars lend their aid in the com- batting of propaganda, Dr. S. I. Hay- akawa of the University of Wisconsin yesterday addressed the Linguistic Institute regular luncheon conference on the topic, "Propaganda and the Linguist." "Linguists," he declared, "need to work out an easily comprehensible process or method by which laymen may learn just how their language functions. They can do a great deal of good by helping to dispel the popular linguistic naivete which is the prime aid of the propagandist." Dr. Hayakawa prefaced his dis- cussion by relating briefly the story of the founding of the recently-or- ganized Institute for Propaganda An- alysis, the only organized effort in this direction. This institution, he charged makes the fundamental mistake of assuming that there is always a sharp distinction between emotion and ob- jective "scientific" fact, and assumes further that every enotional appeal is (Continued on Page 3) Arranging Of Flowers Topic Of Sakanishi Flower Arrangenent Is Art That Has Wide Effects, Lecturer Says Here The art of Japanese flower ar- rangements and its many ramifica- tions affecting both physical and spiritual life were discussed by Dr. Shio Sakanishi of the Division of Orientalia of the Library of Congress in an illustrated lecture in conjunc- tion with the Institue of Far Eastern Studies yesterday.

Ethics, for it defines man's re- lation to man and nature. 2. Economics for it shows comfort and beauty in simplicity. 3. Hygienic for it enforces clean- liness and peace of mind and spirit. 4. Democratic for peasants, arti- sans and nobles join in its apprecia- tion. Dr. Sakanishi traced the rise of the art from the time of its inception by Prince Shitoken, founder of Bud- dihis, who so appreciated the beauty of flowers that he arranged them in seven vases corresponding to the sun, moon, stars, earth, dawn and man. Soon, however, Buddhist teach- ings made people averse to cutting flowers except for religious purposes. Dr. Lockwood Says Chinese Will Triunmph Morale Of Chinese People Seen Deciding Factor In Far Eastern Conflict Disunion In Japan Weakens Invaders Strengthening of the forces of re- action and disunion in Japan as a result of the present Sino-Japanese War will eventually lead to victory for the Chinese people, Dr. William W. Lockwood said at a luncheon at the Union yesterday sponsored by the Institute of Far Eastern Studies. Dr. Lockwood, who is connected with the Institute of Pacific Rela- tions, declared that the morale of the Chinese will be the deciding factor in the war. The will to resist the Japanese had been growing in China for over a decade, but Dr. Lockwood indicated that the policy of Chiang- Kai-Shek had been one of conserva- tism at home and compromise with Japan. The sweep of popular senti- ment, however, culminating in the Sian coup a few years ago, made clear to the Chinese leader the depth of the feeling against Japan. The war it- self has dissolved all regional, per- sonal and class rivalries in China and fused all into a unified national front, Dr. Lockwood said. In Japan, on the other hand, these trends have been reversed. Japan entered the war with a large gold reserve, a flourishing export trade, excelelnt credit rating and ample supplies of all raw materials. Today her gold reserves have been more than halved, Dr. lockwood said, her credit is nil, her supply of raw mater- ials has almost been exhausted, and her export trade has fallen off by more than 20 per cent. Not only are dissentions apparent between the civilian and military forces at home and between the army and the navy in the field, but within the army it- self, Dr. Lockwood said, such elements as the Kwantung garrison, the North China army and Central China army are reported to be at variance with each other. Dr. Lockwood saw the war passing through three stages. First is partial Japanese military success in the field; next will follow a shifting stalemate; and ultimately, as Japan finds her- self unable to pacify the districts under her occupation while the Chi- nese continue unified warfare else- where, Japan will be forced to with- draw her troops from Chinese soil. Although, Dr. Lockwood saw the de- vastation in China as unequalled since the Tai Ping Rebellion, he said that the war marked the beginning of a new era in the Far East and constituted one of the major turning points of its entire history.

Replying to a welcome by President Albert Le Brun, King George VI de- lared "It would now be impossible to recall a period in which our relations were more intimate." Attired in the uniform of a field marshall, symbolic itself of the close military ties between Britanand France, the monarch declared that the two nations had seen their des- tinies "inevitably drawn together with the passage of centuries." The king spoke in French. "Long and close collaboration has succeeded in proving that we are in- spired by the same ideal," he said. 'Similar Democratic Ideals' "Our people have the same attach- ment to democratic principles which are best suited to their natural gen- ius, and we have the same belief in benefits of individual liberty. "We are proud of this political faith which we share with other great nations. In the period in which we live it demands from us all, to a high degree, qualities of courage wisdom and determination. "At the same time there is nothing exclusive in the understandng be- tween us: our friendphip is directed against no other -power. "On the contrary, it is the ardent desire of our governments to find, by means 'of international agreements, solution of those political problems which threaten the peace of the world and of those economic difficulties which' restrict human well being." The understanding was reached near the end of April on a vist of French ministers to London. This was accepted by diplomats as an obvious answer to German and Italian efforts to separate Britain from France. George's expression of pride in democracy as a political faith appeared virtually a reply to Nazi and Fascist derision of demo- cracy. Le Brun, in his welcome speech, stressed the point that the presence of the British monarch "constitutes the highest and most precious testi- mony of the common will which forti- fies each day the confident sympathy of the two nations and the close col- laboration of their representatives." The president added: "I am persuaded that your majesty and your government will make every effort, as I and the government of the Republic have, to give this living reality a brilliance, always more ac- tive and more fruitful." Both Le Brun and his royal visitor were careful to state that the Franco- British entente was directed at no other nation. Le Brun called the relationship a "perfect entente between our two peo- ples-an essential element of 'secur- ity and peace for the greatest profit of civilization and peace." Catholic Priest TO Speak Here Father O'Flanagan ^Will Defend Loyalist Cause Father Micheal J. O'Flanagan, not- ed Catholic priest and Irish Republi- can leader, will speak here at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Natural Science Auditorium in behalf of Loyalist Spain, under the auspices of the Michigan chapter of the American Student Union.

Mar- tin, head of the political science de- partment of the University of Wash- ington that should the President try for a third term, the West will be solidly behind him. In regard to Westerners, Professor Martin, here in conjunction with the International Law Conference said, recent action of the Westerners in- dicates a substantial endorsement of his policies. "Being a Roosevelt, his future 1o- litical conduct is unpredictable," Pro- fessor Martin said. "One can expect from him the breaking of any prece- dent. It is my real belief, however, that if he can retain control of the Democratic party, and if he can select the next standard bearer, he will be satisfied to step aside because he will have had eight years of stormy sea, "If they're for a man, If they're against him they say so. Jand that ought to be enough for any they say so. man." After this tour, nothing could prevent Professor Martin emphasized his
