Wishful Thinking
And Defeatism *.*
T HE TWO most prevalent diseases
in America at the present time are
"wishful thinking" and "defeatism," both of
which are causing a great deal of unsound think-
ing and illogical behavior in this country. And
to make things worse a majority of Americans
are now making the mistake of thinking with
their hearts and not their heads.
Our wishful thinkers (and there are more of
them around than most of us realize, especially
in the Far West) would have us believe that the
entrance of the Soviet Union into the war has
solved the problem of Hitler's aggression. They
would have us believe that Herr Shicklegruber
will leave Moscow in the same condition as Na-
poleon did. And finally they would have us be-
leve that the British will soon be able to launch
their counter-offensive and Germany will be
vanquished.
THEY FAIL TO REALIZE that Hitler pos-
sesses the strongest military force in the his-
tory of civilization' (or, we might say, "lack of
civilization") and that Russia is bound to fall
in a comparatively short time. The result, of
course, will be a Germany strengthened in sup-
plies for their Battle -of Britain. In addition,
there is very little indication that England will
begin a counter-offensive (what the RAF has
done thus far has been almost negligible) be-
cause a good landing spot on the continent has
not been found.
Of course, the defeatists are at the other ex-
treme. They-refuse to believe that Hitler will at
all be weakened by the Russian campaign-he
won't in materials but he will in military
strength-and they feel that the Battle of Brit-
ain will be but a few weeks' task as soon as the
U.S.S.R. is vanquished.
IN GENERAL, it seems that the wishful think-
ers vastly over-estimate Russia's power and
the defeatists under-estimate the power of the
British on defense. The Soviets have already
admitted that the Germans have cracked
through at many points and there's hardly a
military expert in the world who believes Russia
has a chance. As far as the defense of Britain
is concerned, it seems unlikely that the Nazis
can prevail for several years yet.
As long as the British fleet remains mistress
of the seas and the United States adheres to
its "all out, short of war" policy, Britain will not
starve. As long as the fleet is there and as long
as the English coastal defenses remain intact,
there seems little chance of an invasion. Air-
planes can't do the job successfully and, despite
bombings of the fortifications and the activity
of U-boats, the British Navy and coastal de-
fenses are likely to be in good shape for a long
time to come.
THE PEOPLE who today are thinking with
heart and not head are those who would
have us fighting in the war now. It may be
necessary to enter the conflict with arms some
time in the future but there are too many fac-
tors today which should make us adhere to the
aforementioned policy of "all out, short of war."
Whether we like to admit it or not, the U.S.
today is unprepared to send troops into action.
At the present time, with England and Russia
still very much in action, we are in no danger
from any attack ourselves. And certainly a love
for Britain should not at all influence our course
of action.

STUPID t
By Terence
I'M TOO TIRED to write a column
today after last night and what a
night it was and you can have fun
with schoolteachers, I know. They're
not all over 40. Anyway, like I said,
I don't feel in the mood, so I'll just
fulfill my obligation to my readers
and reprint two letters I received in
answer to the first letter printed here
re: Tom Thumb and the school
teachers. Also one from my inane
pal, Tom.
* * *
Dear Terence,
As for Tom Thumb and his views
concerning summer coeds, I'll bet that
he is the boy who, when he was slight-
ly younger, tied cans to dogs' tails
and killed birds. Something has gone
wrong with his sense of humor. For
a case study he would be excellent.
On this grounds I think that he could
be excused.
I'm quite sure that he isn't typical
of all Michigan men.
J. Mohey
* * *
Dear Terence and Boys:
Though well aware of the peculiar
predicament an attempt at presenting
all of the divergent views of your
readers imposes on your sense of
social responsibility, it was nonethe-
less with regret that I read Tom
Thumb's malicious and perhaps libel-
ous assault upon the virtue, honor
and motives of the school marms
(for whom a beer and a male are
a beer and a male and not verboten,
only on this campus in the good old
summertime.)
Equally disappointing was the blow
at the academic and social coopera-
tion between the sexes aimed by the
buxom, no doubt, instructress. Per-
haps the Michigan man does not
measure up to the fanciful figment of
her imagination conjured up in idyl-
lic anticipation of summer romance,
but an enlightened self interest should
dictate her recognition of his superi-
ority, even though scant, over the
idle hours spent in playing the re-
liable pillar of society back in Mud-
burg. No, Miss Teacher, not all Mich-
igan men are here to make up de-
ficiencies in school; some are here
especially to partake of your delicious
charms. The unfortunate breach be-
tween our respective blocs, however,
has left only one honorable alterna-
tive to self respecting Don Juans-
coalition with the nurses.
These fair damsels, appreciated in
times of pestilence and distress, and
too frequently abused by those who
have recovered under their loving
care, are worthy and deserving of
more consideration. Therefore, be it
here resolved since the female peda-
gogue has been unduly critical of the
local lads, and the local lad has
heaped abuse and ridicule upon afore-
mentioned pedagogues, wherefore
cordial relations have become strained
and impossible, that hereafter in-
structresses will not cough; lads will
not engage in comparative anatomy
analysis; lads will abandon the hal-
lowed libraries as their hunting'
grounds that the pedagogues may
prosper in their chosen profession;
and that all social communication
and intercourse between the blocs be
herewith terminated.
Be it further resolved, since only
in unity is there strength, that articles
of alliance by and between residents
of Couzens Hall and the other nurses
residing in this vicinity and the
Michigan Men shall with speed and
dispatch be negotiated and concluded.
That I may forthwith conclude my
own little alliance, which with all the
others will make up the greater alli-
ance above suggested, I take leave
of you, anticipating your cooperation
in the welding of new ties to replace
the old.

Washington Merry- Go-Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN
WASHINGTON-Regardless of What Secre-
tary Knox told the Senate Naval Affairs Com-
mittee about U.S. warships firing at Nazi sub-
marines, you can write it down as definite that
a new policy has been worked out regarding
submarines.
The policy was delineated shortly after the
sinking of the Robin Moor, and anyone reading
between the lines of the President's message to
Congress on that subject could see it.
It will be recalled that the President informed
Congress that the sinking of the Robin Moor
was an act of "piracy." He used this word ad-
visedly. By characterizing the Germans as pi-
rates, the United States is free to invoke the
rules of international warfare against pirates,
namely to attack and capture them without any
declaration of war.
Also it should be recalled that at a recent
nrpe conferenc e nn in his fireideca ht nf
Willkie Squares Off
Wendell Willkie has faced many foes in his
militant stand against Hitler, but none stranger
than at a dinner party in the Long Island home
of Mrs. Ogden Mills, wife of the late Secretary
of the Treasury.
"Freddy" Lonsdale, British playwright who
wrote "The Last of Mrs. Cheney," was at the
dinner and expressed some pronounced appease-
ment views. Other guests, indignant, demanded
that Willkie reply to Lonsdale.
There ensued the remarkable spectacle of an
American scrappily demanding a fight to the
finish against Hitlerism and a Britisher arguing
the other way.
Although courteous, Willkie minced no words.
He told Lonsdale that while he had every right
to speak for himself, he was talking out of turn
when he presumed to "speak for the British
people." "I've been to England." Willkie de-
