ANTI-FOURTH TERMERS: Republican Leaders Will Meet At Mackinac Island Sept. 6-7 By The Associated PressA WASHINGTON, July 23-Republi- can party leaders announced today they will meet September 6 and 7 at Mackinac Island, to lay the founda- Lion for what may turn out to be the nucleus of a party platform for 1944. First Meeting of War Council It will be the first meeting of the full Republican Postwar Advisory Council of 49, composed of. governors, legislators and- national committee members, which National Chairman Harrison E. Spangler organized last May to consider a program of after- the-war foreign relations and domes- tic policies for submission to the party's national convention next Revelli, Clinic .Band, To Play At Interlochen Special To The Daily Featured as guest artists on. the National Music Camp at Interlo- chen's program at 3:30 p.m. tomor- row will be William D.

"Personally," Spangler said today, "I have no doubt that these leaders of the Republican Party will present to the nation a program for inter- national cooperation that will be a beacon of future peace to all the peoples of the globe." The party chairman also pro- vided an advance insight into the prime subjects that will be dealt with' in the GOP platform-next year. He said research material is being gathered to be turned over to subcommittees which the Mac- kinac meeting will appoint to con- sider:' 1: International relations. 2. Taxation. 3. Reconversion- of industry to peacetime production. 4. Orderly demobilization of the armed forces.. 5. The organization and stream- lining of government departments and bureaus. Meeting Is First in Series Spangler said the Mackinac meet- ing would be the first of a series and that the Labor Day date had been selected to permit Senate and House members of the council to attend on their way back for the reconvening of Congress September 14. Recommendations of the council will be turned over to the 1944 Na- tional Convention's Resolutions Committee. "From this council of experi- enced legislators and executives," Chairman Spangler said, "will be- gin to flow the program upon which America will depend for guidance in the years ahead. There seems to be little doubt now that next year the voters of this country will turn to the Republi- can Party for leadership out of the morass into which the New Deal has led us. "These problems are both interna- tional and domestic. By approaching them realistically and courageously, with the support of a United Repub- lican Party, the council will provide the type of strong leadership which America needs and demands." Front the CROW'S NEST By PVT. LARRY B. MARTON Many of our modern customs, as has been frequently and aptly point- ed out, are derivations of ancient practices. Tipping the hat origin- ally consisted of one knight flipping open his helmet visor as a token of friendship when greeting another metal clad adventurer, during the early stages of chivalry. The gratuitous offering, or social bribe, commonly termed a tip, saw its birth some years back, in the 18th century night clubs and the like. Taken individually, tip repre- sents T.I.P., or-To Insure Prompt- ness. 'Whistling' Is Untraceable Many such illustrations stand as glowing tributes to diligent "habits" researchists. However, there still re- mains an untraceable custom which has grown to tremendous proportions within the past several years. How and when did the boys start whistling at the girls? Why did the girls begin whistling back? According to certain rare docu- ments, unavailable for general use at the present time, this practice or- iginated at several points across the earth, thousands of years ago. It seems that one of the well-known Pithicantropus-Erectus, or Cave Man, was not fully equipped with speaking tubes. Unable to call his wife when he so desired, and too lazy to send a carved rock message, he whistled a note common only to him. His wife came post haste! His Example Followed Generation after generation fol- lowed his example, creating among the male offspring a superiority com- plex. From moistening the lips be- fore pursing them arose the phrase "wetting his whistle." Obviously, the setup was ideal. A man had but to whistle if he wanted his wife. It was only natu- ral that some more intelligent gen- tleman sooner or later apply identi- cal tactics to unattached females. So it came to pass that chirping at a girl on the street was intended for said girl to halt immediately, join the canary and discuss such in- terest as they might have in common. Many beautiful friendships resulted. Suffrage Rears Its Head There has been a great transition lately, however. The whistle no longer holds its initial significance. Defin- itely an outcome of woman suffrage, it is now far from an uncommon occurrence to whistle at a represen- tative of feminine pulchritude and have her pipe right back with alac- rity. The' other evening, while enjoy- ing my pipe on the Alpha Delta Phi porch, in conversation with several compatriots, I was amazed to see a young lady deliberately stop, face us, place the thumb and middle finger of the right hand between her teeth and emit a loud, provocative whistle. We' recovered some moments later, but she had gone. Undoubtedly, the opposite sex is out for revenge; to satisfy a frus- trated desire that must have rankled for centuries. They have thrown up bulwarks on street corners and are firing assorted whistles from the or- dinary mmmm-mmmmm variety, to the more social Morton Gould "Pa- vanne." Who said this was a man's world? I Bill Sawyer To Play At League Dance Today Promising a new arrangement of a popular concert melody, Bill Saw- yer and his orchestra will play for dancing from 9 p.m. to midnight to- day in the League Ballroom. The dance is open to all students and servicemen, and will be strictly informal, Sawyer stated. Political Battle Is Brewing In England Observer Says Struggle For Power Will Not Begin Until after War Editor's note: E. C. Daniel has said there will be no political shake-up,in England until the war is over. But there is no truce on political maneuv- ering, as he shows in' the following article on how the parties are lining up for the fight when it does come. By E. C. DANIEL Associated Press Correspondent LONDON, July 23-Behind the battle scences, the greatest struggle for power in 20 years has started in British politics. The outcome will determine not only which parties and men will dic- tate the domestic reconstruction of Britain but the nature of its foreign commitments as well. As in the United States, it is a struggle not only between parties but also within them. Prime Minister Winston Church- ill's Conservative party, with 365 seats in the House of Commons, is the dominant party of the moment in Britain. The Laborites hold 166 seats. Truce Maintains Government These two principal parties are united with the Liberal Party in a wartime coalition government, main- tained by a political truce. Under the truce the parties have agreed not to campaign for each other's seats, and thus have frozen representation in parlia-, ment for the duration. No general election has been held since 1935. Nevertheless, there has been a one-third turnover in the House of Commons membership as a result of deaths and resignations. It is in the elections for these vacancies that the truce operates. The Labor party conference in June, although voting seven . to one to continue the coalition, gave notice that, if and when the truce is.abro- gated, it will go to the polls to fight for outright control, wih it has not had since 1931, when Ramsey MacDonald formed its first national government. Struggle Confined to Parties Meanwhile, the struggle for power is confined within the parties, and it will.be on lines forged.in this in- tra-party strife that the post-war battle for votes will be fought. Outwardly, the _ Conservatives appear more united and confident than their competitors. They ex- pect to run as the party which won the war and so deserves to frame the peace. As the party of the industrialists, financiers, aristocrats and landown- ers as well as the middle class, the Conservative party has been accused by its opponents .of seeking only to return to a postwar status quo. To its opponents that means the unemployment of the early '30s, the blind fear of Russia which prevented a coalition against Fascism, the ap- peasement of Munich, the unpre- paredness of Chamberlain, penny pinching on social security, big busi- ness dictation of trade policies, col- onial exploitation and Britain's own brand of isolationism..' Education Move Proposed As the first of government reforms, a move to broaden educational op- portunities has been put forward. The magazine New Statesman and Nation has declared that conserva- tive obstructionism could be shat- tered only by Churchill of the Labor party. Its obvious hope was that labor would strike the blow. Four months later the New Statesman virtually acknowledged that Churchill had got in the first lick with his four-year plan fort transition from war to interna-1 tional collaboration to maintain 1 the peace., Three months later this diagnosis was strongly. reinforced by compari- son of the labor program with Churchill's. Except for labor's demands for additional socialimation of primary resources, they are remarkably similar. Churchill has employed the tried and true Tory tactic of taking over and toning down socialist ideas. The Tories' intention, said Harold J. Laski, Labor's leading philosopher, was to .use Churchill to destroy liberalism. There had already started what the economist called "a battle for the soul of the Labor party." Public Though Goes Leftist Nearly all the left-wing British politicians, . wishfully thinking or otherwise, were finding a leftist trend in public - thought. With victory at least in prospect they had observed the minds of soldiers and workers turning from the issues of war to the personal problems of peace-jobs, homes, security. They fear the Labor party is not capable of winning' the confidence and votes of these people, Loudest of all, brash Aneurin Be vin has repeatedly advocated ending the election truce and fighting It out with the Tories. Rejecting Bevin's proposed' "coalition of the left," the con- ference supported the truce. Servicemen Are Invited To USO Dance Tonight The University USO will sponsor a dance-for servicemen to be held from 7:30 p.m. to midnight today in the Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo rooms of the League. Servicemen and coeds may dance to the tunes of a juke boxin the Grand Rapids room and checkers; bridge, and other informal games will be the feature attractions in the' Kalamazoo room.
