NEW YORK, Aug. 18.- Sock the O.W.I. and
win the war. What wat? Why, the war against
the O.W.I. Didn't you know? This is one of
the big domestic wars of the summer. The
O.W.I. is suspected of being friendly to Russia.
Of eurse, this whole country is supposed
to be friendly to Russia at the moment. At
least that's the theory. The very same sources
which attack the O.W.I. for being friendly
with Russia bleat piteously the very next mo-
ment that we need some sort of p9litical
agreement with R1ssia, and that we had bet-
ter get it fast.
But apparently they want our policy of being
friendly to Russia placed in the hands of men
who are not friendly to-:Russia. That will cheer
the Russians remarkably, and then we will et
along with them.
Anyway, sock the O.W.I Of course we need
an understanding with Russia. We're for it,
say the critics, But anybody else who is for
it is a dirty leftwinger. Naturally, we have to
get along with Russia. But look at those fel-
lows on the government payroll; they want to
get along with Russia. Throw them out.
(And it is such a boring repetition of what
France went through in the days of the Franco-
Soviet pact. France then had in her hand ex-
actly what we hope to get out of the war. She
couldn't stand it. Frenchmen would not adjourn
their fear of domestic communism sufficiently
to enable France to stand up in the sunlight and
say that she was going to be what she was, and
Russia was going to be what Russia was. and
between the two they were going to keep Hitler
down to what Hitler was.)
So, sock a certain Mr. Bovingdon, too. We's
on the government payroll as an economic
analyst, and he once visited Russia. Also he

BYGONES AREN'T BYGONES:
Old Hatreds, Rivalries Revived by Nazis Must le
Destroyed by Allies for Peaceful Post-War World

AS ROOSEVELT AND CHURCHILL meet at
Quebec to decide the finishing touches of the
war, the clouds are separating over "Hitler's
Fortress" to show the order (rather chaos) that
the Nari regime has planned for Europe.
The Italians and other peoples of the conti-
nent may be clamoring for peace but massacres
among races still indicate that the lust for re-
venge has not died between rival nations.
In Greece Italian troops recently burned 50
villages in the vicinity of Mount Olympus in
retaliation for Greek patriotic resistance.
Bulgarian soldiers are repressing uprisings in
Thrace and Macedonia despite predictions that
an anti-Nazi revolt is imminent among Bulgar-
ians.
Hungarians and Rumanians are glaring at
one another and gritting their teeth over the
disputed Transylvanian territories.
The six-week-old Yugoslav government dis-
solved because the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes
couldn't agree.
As the Red Army advances on the heels of
the retreating Germans, the old goosepimples
are reappearing on the flesh of the Baltic peo-
ples. Representatives of the Baltic countries in
this country published the new fears of Russian
power in their newspapers last week. According
to their articles, Lithuanians, Latvians, and
Estonians "have resisted the slave masters of
Germany but not to have Russians despoil their
liberty."
Thus at a time when all the teoples of the
world should be looking beyond national boun-
daries to the immense problems of interna-
tional relationships and cooperation following
the war, all of the little grievances and fears
and every wicked tradition within national
boundaries and between neighboring states
have. maintained the limelight,
The cause for this continual division of the
peoples of Europe is evident. The old roots, old
tragedies were not allowed to die by the Nazi
regime.
These grievances were, in fact, renewed and
revived by the Nazis who intentionally attemp-
ted to destroy all essence of voluntary cooper-
ation and substitute uncomprehensible trick-
ery and force the "new order." The Nazi
policy to cultivate the hatreds has had its
effect.
,Now the "new order" is a farce to most Euro-
peans. But the old rivalries and hatreds are
not a farce. The coals received the fat to flare
out again and these retaliatory desires have
shown no indication of falling into ruin as
"Greater Germany" diminishes.
THEREFORE, it's a bigger job than just mili-
tary strategy that faces the Quebec confer-
ence if post-war issues are to be considered as
news reports suggest and that will face confer-
ences to come.
The Atlantic Charter made two years ago on
the high seas must be maintained in the post-
war period to reassure the 30 odd nations signing
it of justice after the downfall of the chaotic
Nazi regime.
In addition, the cultures of all nations must
be raised again to their appropriate pedestals
of dignity and respect. And more important,
all nations, great or small, must be treated as
equals. It's not a utopian plan. It's the most

in regard to India, likewise a clamorer for inde-
pendence. Even India's variety of races and
internal political insecurity (according to the
British Foreign Office) should not be used as
an indefinite means for holding that country
within the empire. The Bengalis, Sikhs, Assam-
ese, Raiputs, Mahrattas. Tamils, Kanerese and
other races within India may be as different as
Spaniards and Russians but they should be
given an opportunity to work out their own gov-
erning authority.
The post-war world must recognize minori-
ties within nations; it must treat all nations
as equals; and must immediately soothe the
cuts and gashes that the Nazis have inflicted
or underhandedly opened and irritated be-
tween nations. - Marj Borradaile

Bovingdon and win the war. What war? I
don't know. But the Soviet Embassy must
read the napers. It must send a cable home
when a government employee is fired be-
cause, among other reasons, he once visited
the Soviet Union.
One admits that the Russians are sometimes
enigmatic. But they have not lately, or at least
not in public, or at least not with cheers. con-
sidered it a complaint against a civil servant
that he once visited the United States.
Anyway, down with the O.W.I. It said a bad
word about an enemy. That's horrid. That is
scandalous. We don't do that, we who merely
say bad words about a friend.
It is so undignified, this fearful pursuit of a
policy of friendship without friendliness. We
should be surer' and prouder of ourselves, of
our America, of our common consent to get
along with each other without force or vio-
lence.rThese sudden startled leaps, these hor-
rid alarunms do not become us. How can we
negotiate with Russia, firmly and with candor,
while all the time our negotiators must keep
eye cocked over shoulder watching for new
panic flights into hysteria back at home?
Anyhow, sock the O.W.I. It wants the people
of Italy to rise. That is communistic. Gen.
Eisenhower also wants them to rise. That is not
communistic. And some Russian embassy at-
tache has to make this enigma clear in a tele-
gram to his enigmatic government back at home.
I wonder whether these frightened starts and
springs on the Red issue show faith in America,
or unseemly doubt.
Let him who calls loudest on the administra-
tion for a mature understanding with Russia
look into his own heart to see whether he has
helped or hurt that process.

PEARSO'S
MERRY-GO-ROUND
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.- The newspaper
PM, which has a healthy influence on Washing-
ton, has recently got its owner, Marshall Field
III of Chicago. in a most embarrassing spot.
PM has been riding the shirt off anyone who
ever succumbed to the wiles of Mussolini and
received from him a Fascist decoration. Espe-
cially PM has been riding Generoso Pope,
Italian-born New York newspaper publisher,
now ardently anti-Mussolini, because he once
accepted a decoration from 11 Duce and once
gave the Fascist salute before the grave of the
Unknown Italian Soldier.
What the editors of PM apparently don't know
is that their own financial godfather and pub-
lisher, Marshall Field, himself, also received a
Fascist decoration from Mussolini.
Mr. Field bears the title "Commendatore," and
so far as any published records show, he has not
returned the decoration to I Duce.
Marshall Field went even further and was
elected president of the Italy-America Society
on Jan. 27, 1930, when Mussolini was in his
heyday and when the Italy-America Society
was considered by many as an adjunct of
Fascism.
Yet Marshall Field's newspaper now pounds
away almost daily at everyone who ever received
a Fascist decoration.
Note: Real fact is that Generoso Pope went to
Rome in 1937 at the request of Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise to try to dissuade Mussolini from his
campaign against the Jews. While there he was
invited to lay a wreath on the tomb of the iUn-
known Soldier. and that was the occasion of
PM's picture of him giving the Fascist salute.
Lewis Deserts Willkie
One of the historic political speeches of the
1940 campaign came when John L. Lewis 'desert-
ed Roosevelt for Willkie.
John L. had been one of Roosevelt's most

powerful supporters, had contributed more
than $250,000 to his first political campaign,
had voted the United Mine Workers for him
almost to a man. He had received from Roose-
velt in return the famous section 7 a of the
NRA giving workers the absolute right of col-
lective bargaining. He had secured Roose-
velt's blessing for the Guffey coal act, for the
National Labor Relations Board and a dozen
other benefits for labor.
So a lot of people could not believe, until John
L. Lewis actually went on the air, that he would
desert his old friend Roosevelt.
However, Lewis even risked being deserted by
his union--as its members did desert him--on
election day--by coming out for Willkie.
Now John L. Lewis is about to execute another
switch. Talking to a prominent newspaperman
the other day. he proclaimed limself vigorously
against his old friend Willkie.

AM NOT going to throw my books at Angell
Hall. nor at, what would be more appropriate
for a student of economics, the Ec Building. I
guess I just don't believe in throwing things.
Yes, this is my last column. It is also my last
opportunity before I leave for the service, to
express thanks to all those people who have
made my stay at Ann Arbor interesting, exciting,
and even (the ghosts of other Daily columnists
will haunt me for this) pleasant.
I have enjoyed my stay at Ann Arbor, and
after the war I plan to come back. But in the
meanwhile I hope that the dynamic, fighting
progressives (maybe there are still a few of
you left) will take up where I leave off, in
spreading the rrogressive truth in fighting for
that truth, and keeping faith in the common
people of this country, of whom everyone of us
is a part, and f9r whom I am gladly going out
to fight.
I have always tried to give you my opinions
straight. I have given them the way I thought
they ought to be given. I wanted to -make this
a fighting column that would leave its imprints
on the minds of progressive students and soldiers
on campus and inspire them to continue in their
faith. which is so glibly assailed by the so-called
realists, reactionaries and the rest of their ilk.
I wanted to give the readers of The Daily
something that would specifically deal with is-
sues of vital concern to all of us, something that
would come out unequivocally and unmistakenly
on one side of the issue.
Here's hoping I have given you a fighting col-
umn. I only hope that my place will be taken
by another fighting columnist (even if he or she
is a reactionary) for it is only those "half-and-
half" blended columnists so characteristic of
student papers, those weak-kneed, terrified
boys, to whom yielding to pressure is second
nature, who above all want to "avoid trouble or
a controversy," that confuse the youth of Amer-
ica, fail to give them fighting strength and in-
spiration to continue to make their power felt
in the country at large.

are now lighting the foreign enemy. But
there are enemies at home that we must also
