ADVNTIING BY National Advertising Service, Inc.; College Pubishers Representative 4O MADISON AVE. NEW YORK. N. Y. CeICAO - BOSTON - LOS ANOESLS - SAN FRANCISCO Member, Associated Collegiate Press, 1945-46 NIGHT EDITOR: MYRA SACKS Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. What Is SOIC OIC, which stands for Student Organization for International Cooperation, was form- ed, as. stated in the constitution. "'- . . to promote world youth cooteration and under- staildng.d " It was inspired, late last semester, by a group of young people from various wartorn nations throughout the world who visited the Univer- sity on their way back from the San Francisco Conference. They talked to University students at a mass meeting and at several informal receptions. They spoke of the students in their native lands, of their universities and schools which had been destroyed, and the books which have been taken from them. In answer to the question "What can we here at the University do to help?" a Danish naval officer ' said, "Organize, contact other youth groups and adopt a foreign university." Immediately, a group of students began to form an all-campus organization, made up of delegates from campus groups representing ev- ery student on campus. At two successive mass meetings, to which every person on campus was invited, student approval of the plans was voiced, a name was chosen and a constitution adopted. On June 20, just 15 days after the speakers had left the campus, the SOIC was'officially recognized by the University administration. At present, the Executive Council of SOIC is made up of representatives of 19 campus organ- izations, but other groups may petition for a seat on the Council. As the policy forming body of the organiza- tion, the Council's plans are carried out by com- mittees made up of all students on campus, regardless of affiliation, who are interested. Any committee member is eligible for a committee chairmanship. This would entitle him to a seat on the Executive Board, the administrative organ of SOIC, whose job is the co-ordination of committee activities. The first project of SOIC is the adoption of a foreign university. Choice of the university will be made by the entire student body at a cam- pus election to be held in the near future. Initial step toward familiarizing the stu- dent body with possible universities to adopt will be a mass rally to be held at 7:30 p. m. EWT (6:30 p. m. CWT) tomorrow on the steps of the Rackham Building. Faculty members and students who have at- tended foreign universities will speak for their institutions-present a picture of campus life and a report on present conditions. Other universities will be spoken for through articles in the Daily. Information on these schools has been supplied by the World Student Service Fund, the Russian War Relief and the American Youth for a Free World. Also included in the program for the rally is a report by Jack Gore on the Washington Youth Conference. Gore has just returned from the, Conference which was held July 2 and 3. A meeting of representatives of 46 American youth groups, the Conference was gathered to formu- late a platform for an American delegation to take to the International Youth Conference to be held this fall in London. A- tfic ofrlo fntwr ' snn l n By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON-The District of Columbia looks more like a peacetime capital this summer than in many years . . . For the first time since the war, the house is now planning a long recess . . . This reflects increased Con- gressional confidence in the new White House set-up, also the fact that many a legislator yearns for home. The dollar-a-year men and brass hats who planned to check out after Germany's defeat haven't started their exodus. Instead they've been joined by hundreds of business men who've moved in to get their reconversion headaches unsnarled. Thousands of returning officers and en- listed men from Europe have added to the housing and feeding problem. Parking spaces along the Potomac are crowed on hot nights with G. I. Joes and G. I. Janes and gov- ernment workers searching for a cool breeze. Washington is more peaceful, but still jam- med. Adding to the crush are the Truman boys who have descended on Washington. . . . 'they fall into three categories: (1) The Missouri boys, friends of Truman and Bob Hanne- gan looking for jobs, patronage, and juicy poli- tical plums . . . (2) The Pauley boys from Southern California-friends of former Demo- cratic treasurer Ed Pauley who've rushed into town to. climb on the gravy train. Third group are the "Battery K" men. These are the World War I vets who saw service with Harry Truman in 1917-18. Truman Heyday TRUMAN'S own aids in the White House are still impressed by their new surroundings ... Some feel that Truman's rise gives them a blank check to use his power for their own ends. One youthful aid has been bragging about having Truman's political enemies shadowed, their wires tapped . . . Truman, a sworn enemy of wire-tapping when in the Senate, will prob- ably clip their wings soon. The hangers-on are still having a field day around the White House. Center of administration power has partly shifted from the White House to the second floor of the Mayflower Hotel, where Bob Han- negan holds forth in Democratic headquart- ers . . . Judge Welburn Mayock, the com- mittee's new general counsel, uses the office to lobby for California oil interests . . George Killiom, the new treasurer of the na- tional committee, who has been using a meat- ax to collect money for the committee from business men may find himself chopped down soon . . . Meanwhile little is happening to set the stage for Democratic victories in the Congres- sional elections next year . . . Hannegan is already in hot water with labor, particularly the CIO, which he has been studiously ignor- ing. Labor leaders, who poured out millions to help Roosevelt last year, claim they can't even get a glass of water from the Democrats ON SECOND ByRay Dixon POP'S POLITICS Our father is a fine man and we agree with him on almost every subject. But every four years around presidential election time the filial ties are strained somewhat, for he votes Repub- lican and my sympathies are more with the Democrats. The other day, however, friend father was discussing the war and what comes after and he seemed to hit the nail on the button. We think what he said was worth repeating: He claims he is not much alarmed by such things as rancid butter being found in the midst of a butter shortage or the disagree- ments and difficulties coming to light in what was Germany. "Some screwball somewhere let the butter get rancid. So what. Everyone makes mistakes at some time or another. They are bound to hap- pen. The important thing is that we're winning the war. "Germany today is a mess. The Allies almost completely destroyed the whole country. The process of rebuilding it is a terrific job. We are bound to make mistakes. Some screwball some- where is sure to bolax up the works. But the overall policy is OK." He said that he fully expects that there will be a lot more scandals of one sort or another cropping up during the next few years. The newspapers will play them up and some people will get excited. But in spite of all the furor, the fundamental policies and objectives of war and peace are sound. "It's like cooking fudge. You've got to wait for things to smooth over." when it comes to bucking oppressive legislation in Congress, and are now making threats to move over to the G. O. P. camp. Republicans Harmonious FARTHER up Connecticut Avenue 'at Re- publican headquarters things are harmo- nious . . . The Republicans are sitting back, are quietly laying the groundwork for a high- powered Congressional race next November What they need most of all are some issues . . . G. O. P. 'sters, including Chairman Herbert Brownell, are confident they'll find plenty in a few months, are hoping that Truman stubs a few toes politically soon. (Copyright, 1945, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) PD RATHER BE RiGHT: Positive Aetionl By SAWUEL GRAFTON T HE BEST statement of our war aims for Japan will be the record of what we do in Germany. The intelligent Japanese (and there are intelligent Japanese) will watch what we do in Europe with much closer attention than he will accord to any words we utter. The awful significance of an American ad- ministrative failure in Germany now breaks full upon us; it would prolong the war in Asia. Nothing would terrify the Japanese more than to see a disintegration of life in the territories under our control in Europe. For the record we show to the world in Ger- many constitutes the conditions of uncon- ditional surrender in the Pacific. There has not yet beeen an American admini- strative failure in Germany, and it is too early to burst out crying. Failure is not the word. Yet almost all observers in the American zone of Germany are oppressed by the feeling that there is a certain blankness in our approach to the problem, a certain ideological nothingness, a lack of direction, and a passion for making decisions which have no effect except to post- pone the making of decisions. MR. JOSEPH C. HARSCH has contributed to our understanding of the matter by his Christian Science Monitor article, in which he points out that the British almost uniformly pick German business men as public officials, while the Russians take the former inmates of concentration camps; and we pick clergymen. The moral is clear; we alone of the major oc- cupying powers have no plan for Germany, and so we turn to the clergy, as a comfortably ambiguous choice, apparently without political significance. Clergymen have as much right to public office as do the members of any other profession, and there would not be much danger in this political strategy if it were a mere interim plan, designed to tide over until the Germans, through their own political activity, began to throw up new and appropriate leaders. But here is where we fall down. Having selected what we hope are non-political figures for public office, we then ban all political activity. We have no plan for Germany, and perhaps we should have none; but we insist that the Germans shall have none, too. We do not care to think out their futures, but we insist that they shall not think them out, either; no thinking allowed around here, in other words. At this point our administration becomes an unreal thing, for political thinking cannot be avoided; it is as universal as, and as real as, though in our zone it may be as unmention- able as, sex. HE SAME IMPULSE causes some of us to look hopefully upon the figure of the Japa- nese Emperor; he too, it seems to us, is, or per- haps can be made to be, non-political. Yet let us note where this kind of blank thinking leads us; it makes free Americans into advocates of something like a union of church and state in Germany, and of an emperorship in Japan, and of an empororship in Japan, and both institu- tions are foreign to our own way of life. It suddenly is clear that not to have a plan, becomes a plan, and of a rather unexpected sort. The kind of political nothingness we are exporting becomes reaction, much to our own surprise. Somehow we must find the courage in Ger- many to let go, not to be so afraid of politi- cal action, to let it happen; knowing that an order banning political activity is, in the high- est degree, a political order; it is politids of the most furious kind. We must think of the Japanese, watching us; nothing, it seems to me, could bewilder them more than our invi- tation to them to entertain the dangerous thoughts of rebellion, so as to come under our own prohibition of dangerous thoughts.
