Preparedness
And Peace
The Republican platform carpenters in Phil-
adelphia have missed an opportunity. They have
failed fully to meet the challenge of Blitzkrieg
changes. If they see what kind of a world Amer-
ica now lives in, or what it must face unless
Britian stands, they have not warned the people.
In the plank on national defense-which is the
much-struggled-over core of the platform- they
have taken 6upposedly "safe" political ground
instead of offering the leadership America sore-
ly needs.
But at least they have left the door ajar for
a nominee who can step out and with the aid
of events awaken the Nation to its true position.
There were reports that isolationists were trying
to write a plank which would pledge the Re-
publican Party never to permit the United States
to go to. war under any circumstances. This in
face of Governor Stassen's wise advice to "frank-
'ly state to the people that we can neither fully
anticipate these problems nor can we tie our
hands before meeting them." Such frankness
has not been achieved, and there is still danger
that the temptation to play politics with peace
will produce a campaign in which the Republi-
cans will duplicate the Wilson campaign of
1916-with no more assurance that the Nation
can keep out of war.,
The declaration that the party is "firmly op-
posed to involving this Nation in foreign war"
is unimpeachable as an expression of the hopes
of Americans. But it is no quarantee. The effort
to stake out a prior claim as the "peace party"
goes even further i nthe statement:
The Republican party stands for Amer-
icanism, preparedness and peace. We ac-
cordingly fasten upon the New Deal full re-
sponsibility for our unpreparedness and for
the consequent danger of involvement in
war.
When the Democrats meet in Chicago they
can put that same statement into their plat-
form-merely reversing the names of the party.
And they might marshal strong evidence to
show that they are for "Americanism, prepared-
ness and peace." They could bring up some Re-
publican votes in Congess which would fasten
a considerable proportion of blame for unpre-
paredness on that party. Actually there is e-
nough blame for all of us. The fact is that no
one quite believed the Nazi war machine could
roll so fast and far. Some warned of dangers
but none of us quite realized what the world
would be like. Do we now?
If so, we shall lay aside all partisan attempts
to fasten the blame for unpreparedness' and
unite in preparing. If so, we shall drop this
peace-party versus war-party playing with na-
tional safety. We shall wake up to precieve that
this was the kind of thing that ruined France.
There is room for a calm and informed debate
on whether President Roosevelt has risked war

too much in his efforts to aid the Allies. There
is room for a necessary discussion of whether
America can and should defend only the geo-
gaphical boundries of the Western Hemisphere.
But, if we judge the temper of the American
people rightly, there is no room for petty par-
tisanship in the coming campaign.
Fortunately the Republicans in an otherwise
splendid platform have not completely tied the
hands of their candidate on the vital question
of foeign policy. And the people's response to
events will shape that policy beyond any power
of platform makers,

NEW YORK-More than 67 per cent of the
American people now favor active aid to the
Allies, as compared with only 26.1 per cent last
winter, Fortune magazine reveals in its July
Issue, which contains a special supplement on
the results of a Survey of Public Opinion con-
ducted since the blitzkrieg swept into France,
but before Marshal Petain asked for peace.
Other findings in the Survey are:
1.-Of the 67.5 per cent favoring aid to
the Allies, 40.6 per cent want to stay out of
war; the remaining 26.9 per cent want to
go to war on the Allies' side now or later.
2.-Sentiment in favor of extending cred-
it to the Allies has risen to 35.2 per cent
from 23.8 per cent in December, but is still
far short of a majority.
3.-But a majority believes that if Bri-
tain and France run out of cash we should
supply it by buying some of their territory
on this side of the ocean.
4.-The number of people who think Ger-
many will win the war has increased five-
fold during the last nine months.
Here is how opinion was divided on the ques-
tion: "Which of these comes closest to express-
ing what you think the U.S. should do now?"
Enter the war at once on the side of
Allies .................... 7.7%
Help the Allies and go to war only if
the Allies seem sure to lose ... 19.2%
Help the Allies but never enter the
war.......................40.6%
Take no sides....................26.0%
Help Germany .................... 0.2%
Don't know............6.3%
"Thus only about a quarter of the nation re-
mains where fully two-thirds of the nation was
last winter: 'take no sides'," Fortune points out.
"Against these are now a slightly larger number
favoring war, now or later if necessary-an in-
crease of 10 per cent. In the middle position
stand 40.6 per cent who favor helping the Allies
without going to war. These, of course, include
the 8.9 per cent who thought the same last win-
ter, plus, presumably, a large percentage of the
old 'take no sides but sell cash-and-carry' vote
revealed last winter."
And here are the replies to the question:
"What" do you think the U.S. should do about
selling supplies to the nations at war?",
Sell only to the Allies, and on credit
if necessary ..........35.2 %
Sell only to the Allies, and only for
cash....................23.7%
Sell to either side for credit ..........0.6%
Sell to either side for cash .. ... 16.7%
Sell nothing to any warring nation .. 15.1%
Don't know ........................ 8.7%
"Thus pro-Ally though the nation is as a
whole, the people who favored extending credits
to the Allies were still a minority of 35.2 per
cent," Fortune points out. "But this figure rep-
resents a considerable increase over that shown
in the December Survey, when only 11.5 per cent
favored repeal of the Johnson Act, plus 12.3
per cent who would approve its repeal 'only if
it looks as if the Allies were losing.' No doubt
the figure has been increasing faster during re-
cent weeks."
The Fortune Survey also asked: "If England
and France run out of cash and want to buy

more supplies here, should we provide them
with the cash by buying some of their territory
on this side of the ocean?" The replies were:

"This proposal, already favorably regarded
last winter, seems to have become a really
popular solution," Fortune observes. "By class
and occupation and part of the country there
are clean majorities in every group, and the
dissenting votes rise no higher than 29.7 per
cent, by geography in the Middle West, and
32 per cent, by occupation, among white-collar
workers."
On the question: "Regardless of what you
hope, which side do you think will win the war
in Europe, as it looks now?" the answers were:
Germany .......................... 40.1%
The Allies ........................ 30.3%
Neither ........................... 1.7%
Don't know...................... 27.9%
"The 'don't. know' vote remains about the
same as it was nine months ago," Fortune
states, "but the pessimists, then a handful, have
since increased fivefold, and surely events since
the first of June have immensely swelled their
numbers."
Then on the question: "Do you believe that
Germany has already started to organize a 'Fifth
Column' in this country?" the replies were:
Yes .............................. 71.0%
No ................................ 6.8%
Don't know ...................... 22.2%
"Nowhere in the country, and among no
classes are there as many- as 10 per cent who
disbelieve that a Fifth Column is being estab-
lished here, although 35 per cent in the Middle
South answered 'don't know'," Fortune reports.
"The prevalence of this opinion is startling, and
perhaps wholesome."
The Fortune Survey also sampled public opin-
ion on the question: "Which one of these comes
closest to what you think the government should
do about Communist sympathizers? Nazi sym-
pathizers?" The answers:

The Russian
.Rdvance ...
The rapid moves of the Red Army
within the last few weeks, first to
occupy the three Baltic republics of
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and
now to carve up the northeastern
provinces of Rumania and take mili-
tary bases on the mouth of the Dan-.
ube and at the large Rumanian port
of Constanza, indicate that the man
in the Kremlin is impatient and is
demanding his share of the spoils
even before the war is over. It is an
advance along the old Russian line
of march toward the Dardanelles
and the Mediterranean, a march
which Austria-Hungary always op-
posed and now greater Germany and
Italy must eye with suspicion
The seizure of Bessarabia had been
expected, but the inclusion of Buco-
vina, which was never a part of
Czarist Russia, puts in doubt the fate
of the last remaining portion of ter-
ritory inhabited by Ukrainian popu-
lations, the Carpatho-Ukraine, now
a part of Hungary. If the Soviet
Union is to have a strong western
frontier, it is logical that Stalin would
try to reach the line of the Carpa-
thian Mountains and include this
region within the Soviet Union.
How much farther Germany and
Italy are prepared to see the Russians
advance toward the heart of the
Balkan peninsula without resistance
is now the vital question. All three
great powers, Italy, Germany and
Soviet Russia, have claims to the
remaining small countries, Yugo-
slavia, Bulgaria and Greece, as well
as the Dardanelles. Thus far they
appear to have agreed that as its
share of the spoils Russia should have
Bessarabia and other portions of Ri-
mania, as well as bases along the
Black Sea coast. However, now that
Stalin has taken what was probably
all that was allotted to him the ques-
tion arises what Germany and Italy
will do if he tries to continue his
march south.
The Bulgarian frontier is only a
scant eighty miles south of Con-
stanza, where Russia will have a sea
base, according to reports. Between
the two points lies the southern cor-
ner of Dobruja, a region which has
a large Bulgarian population and
which Bulgaria has always hoped to
get back some day. Bulgaria may
now turn to Soviet Russia for help
to recover this lost territory, perhaps
in return for bases farther down the
coast, in Bulgarian territory, or it
may fall under German or Italian
spheres of influence, asking its old
ally, Germany,to grant its demands.
Yugoslavia has adopted a much
friendlier attitude toward Russia in
recent weeks, signing a trade agree-
ment and exchanging envoys for the
first time since the Soviet revolution,
indicating a further advance of Rus-
sian influence. On the other hand,
Hungary, a close ally of Germany
and Italy, has claims on Rumania
which are even more far reaching
than those of Bulgaria, and there are
indications that the Hungarians are
impatient to get back large areas
now deep in the center of Rumanian
territory. Thus the implications of
the Soviet move are not only that
Stalin is deeply worried and wishes
to strengthen his position as rapidly
as possible, grabbing bases and land
while Germany is still occupied in
western Europe, but also that the pre-
carious balance of power in the Bal-
kans has been overthrown. If this
proves true, then the brief era of
security which the small nations of
southeastern Europe enjoyed is at
an end.

By Himself

We see by the papers (Mich. Daily, June 28)
that Ed Dalton has been elected president of
the American Association of Social Work Stu-
dent. Last semester, Dalton was overwhelming-
ly elected first vice-president of the U. of M.
Student Social Work Club by a large number
of the 138 students attending the University's
Institute of Public and Social Administration
(Curriculum in Social Work). Shortly after
elections, the president of the Club became ill
and Ed became acting president. Besides doing
a splendid job in this capacity, he received the
admiration and respect of his fellow students.
Also, information about him filtered to other
schools of social work throughout the country
so that when the AASWS met at the National
Conference of Social Work in Grand Rapids
recently, some of the delegates elready knew
about Dalton's work. Not only was he nominat-
ed for the national presidency but he was unan-
imously voted in as the best man for the job.
His election as president of the AASWS was
no idle or benevolent gesture on the part of the
other delegates to Dalton who was the only
Negro delegate present. These students were
a mature group of men and women, many of
whom had sacrificed time and money and
travelled thousands of miles to attend the Con-
ference, They are not the kind who are given
over to sentimental gestures or to superficial acts
of riendliness toward Negros or any other min-
ority group. As a matter of fact they were a
pretty hard-headed bunch who recognized a
good man when they saw him and elected him
as president regardless ofw hether his skin was
black or white o yellow.
It is interesting to note that this is the first
time in the history of the Univesity that a Negro
has been acting president of a predominately
white student organization. But that this same
Negro received the presidency of a national
organization composed almost entirely of white

mocracy we want so much to prevail and about
which we are so belligerent bec ause it does
not exsist in Italy, Germany, and elsewhere, is
to become a true American Democracy-THEN
THE THINKING AND BEHAVIOR THAT PRO-
VIDES EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL
OUR PEOPLE MUST ALSO PREVAIL.
And speaking of prevailing, reminds us that
sidelife-thank goodness-also has its less serious
side. How many of you, for example, haven't
heard the one about a cat having nine lives,
raise your right hands! Fine, we're glad to see
all hands down. And how many of you believe
that the nine lives business is a lot of hokum.
elevate right upper limbs. Ha! once more hands
are down 100%. Well, if anyone had asked
us the same question a week ago our responses-
would have been the same, but now we aren't
so sure re: question 2 and here's why:
An occupational therapist at Eloise Hospital
(that immense institution fo the mentally ill,
midway between Ann Arbor and Detroit on
Route 112) who is a close friend of the family,
reports that one of the women's wards has the
cutest kitten for a mascot. The other day, said
kitten dissappeared and both patients and ward
perrsonnel searched high and low for the pussey
but no soap.
The next day, over in the laundry department,
our missing pussey, very limp and apparently
very dead, dropped out of a huge laundry bag.
One of the men put it on the window sill and
planned to dispose of it when he went off duty.
It so happened that it wasn't raining just at
that moment and the sun shone on kitty. Pres-
ently, kitty got up and began wandering a-
round on wobbly legs, much like a landlubber
who, after drinking ten too many, tries to walk
the deck of a fishing boat in a hurricane. (I
made up the simile all by myself). A half
hour later and kitty was back in the ward as
spry as ever, much to the joy of the patients
and the perrsonnel.
And now the denouement: Why we're not too
sure the story about cats having nine lives is
all hokum, scientific eveidence to the contrary
notwithstanding. The laundry bags at Eloise
are huge blobs that weigh a ton apiece-well, al-
most a ton. They are dropped down a chute and
strike the basement with a terrific force. Then
they are heaved into trucks by burly truckmen
