I.-Common Dangers
Yesterday it was explained how
nerica and the allies are bound to-
ther by four important common in-
rests-the maintenance of free gov-
ament against military despotism;
e preservation of the political free-
m of nations; the preservation of
mumercial opportunities; and the
aintenance of the existing status of
itish and American territory 'in and
ar North America which a German
story would disturb. Today the ques-
n of common dangers will be con-
Jered.
Just as common interests draw na-
ns together, common dangers force
em together.
There are two common dangers that
nfront both the allies and the United
ates, in the event of a German vic-
ry. The one is political, the other
mmercial.
Poltical Danger
1. The political danger. This din-
r is so apparent that it hardly needs
be called by name. Germany is
o most highly organized and ef-
ient nation in the world. It also is
e most aggressive, the most am-
tious, and the least bound by pre-
dent of any kind. Moreover, it is
e most warlike nation since ancient
,me, and the most skillful in the
'ts of war. Upon this foundation
ands a superstructure of militarism
id autocracy-a caste of nobility and
ofessional soldiers, closely allied
ith the nation's money power, and
d by one of the ablest, most daring
Id most ambitious morarchs that
er sat upon a throne. Suppose the
>mbination wins, and the rest of the
orld loses; what may we expect?
First Germany's present enemies
ill be left incapable of crossing, her
3th again. France will be crushed,
r army disbanded, her richest terri-
ry taken away, and a financial pen-
ty imposed which will break her
ck forever. England's fleet will be
ized, her financial power permanent-
crippled, and her empire broken .up
id distributed as the spoils of war.
aly will be left helpless .and bank-1
walls at her own boundaries against
any foreign goods that might seek to
enter German markets irl competition
with German manufacturers.
The United States would enact just
such tariffs as Berlin demanded; if
we did not, we should quickly feel the
power behind the demand. At the
same time American manufacturers
and traders would find 01 desirable
foreign markets shut off; for India,
China and South America would have
tariff arrangements with Germany that
would effectually bar competition with
German goods. Berlin would rapidly
become, not a second London, but a
greater financial and commercial cen-
ter than London ever was or ever
would have been.
Trade and Power One
In' these days foreign trade and po-
litical power go together. The na-
tion that is dominant politically can
compel weaker countries to grant all
sorts of commercial and financial fa-
vors-to let in its goods by low tariffs,
to keep out competing goods by high
tariffs, to let valuable contracts, to
grant franchises and concessions, etc,
If Germany became, the world's chief
political power, Germany would thus
dictate the world's trade and finance.
Indeed the former ,is Germany's real
end-the latter only the means.
In discussing the common interests
and the common dangers that we share
with the allies, no mention has been
made of "traditional friendships" or
"cordial relations" between any two
peoples. These are passed over be-
cause they are not to be counted as
determining factors.
Friendships and enmities are all
temporary. They count for little, often
for nothing, in determining policies.
It is so with all countries; the
friends of today are the enemies of to-
morrow. This is not owing to fickle-
ness. It is simply because national
friendships are based on common in-
terests or common dangers, and na-
tional emnities are based upon rivalry
or fear. No so-called national friend-
ship based on mere tradition, history
or sentiment, can be relied on for a
moment if any tangible interest points
the other way. And on the other hand
old enemies are quickly reconciled the
moment coinmon interests draw them
together, or common fear drives them
together.
SUMMER lOBS FOR ALL
WRITER OBJECTS TO UNIVERSITY
MEN CAJOLING HOUSEKEEPERS1
DURING SUMMERc
Editor, The Michigan Daily:1
In relation to the duty and oppor-t
tuniies of college students in this war,1
permit me to make a few suggestions.t
In engineering industries alone,t
positions were offered this spring for
several times as many men as the en-,
gineering college is about to graduate.c
The activities of war will demand az
still greater supply of men with1
trained minds. The number of people
who go through high school and intof
or through college is a very small per-z
centage of the entire population-only,
two per .cent, in fact.t
The student in college has had spentI
upon his education by society (repre-c
aented by his parents or by the state(
or by philanthropists) at least $2,0001
to $5,000 more than has been spent uponf
the great majority of other people.c
This includes only the cost of food,
shelter, books, clothes, and tuition
during the high school period and the
college period, and is a very conserva-
tive estimate. It does not include the1
loss of earnings due to the young mani
being not engaged in productive work
during the period of education.
The college man should engage in
some kind of work having real value;
to the nation commensurate with the
expenditure which has been made to
prepare him for life. A young man
who commenced to support himself
immediately after he left grammar
school and who now sells shoes or is
engaged in trying to make people be-
lieve they want some commodity that
they do not really need, could under
intensive training for six months or
one year be made into as good a sol-
dier as any college man could be.
Many important industries and busi-
nesses will not today employ men who
do not possess a college degree for
positions which are or may be impor-
tant-that is, they require years of
scholastic preparation for worth-
while service.
The duty and the opportunity of col-
lege men in the present national emer-
gency should therefore be quite clear,
it would seem. College men should
seek to enter at the earliest possible
moment into lines of work which will
call forth their highest abilities and
their best efforts. They should work
upon their education more earnestly
than ever before until it is well un-
der way-until they are graduated
from college.
If one or more summer sessions
would shorten the college period by
a semester or more and if the students
can afford to attend such summer ses-
sions, he should do so by all means.1
If the student must enter employment1
outside of studies during the summer,f
he should seek work which is as im-
portant as possible to the nation and
to the industries upon which it de-
pends and which employs his special
training and.abilities to the fullest ex-
tent.
Particularly should this matter of
summer work be brought home to un-
derclassmen and to juniors. The rail-
roads, telephone and telegraph com-
panies, electric power companies ana
all public utilities, as well as manu-
facturers and farmers are calling for
men, and every able college man
should respond. There should be lit-
tle excuse for a college man spending
his summer and exercising his talents
cajoling housekeepers into buying spe-
dial brands of brooms or kitchen
utensils, unless he has made effort to
engage in more worthy and necessary
occupations and has been refused.
There should be no deliberately idle
college men, in good health, this sum-
mer of all summers. It would be dis-
loyalty to the nation, and I should
think it would give the public a bad
impression of college men.
See if you cannot recruit an army
of college undergraduates for useful
occupations this summer. The head of
any department of the engineering col-
lege is able to furnish the addresses
of many concerns which are ready to
employ college men for summer work
at profitable wages, along lines which
will contribute much to their experi-
ence. FACULTY.

Today's Dangers Count
It is the interests and dangers of
today that count-not those of the last
century. Our enemy is the nation that
;can and may strike us, bur friend is
the nation that can and will fight on
our side. We must not go to the
cemetery and read the headstones in
order to pick out our friends and
identify our enemies.%
In this article the purpose has been
to show how German victory would
involve America and the allies in two
common dangers. These two are gen-
eral dangers, common to all neutral
nations as well as to Germany's ac-
tive enemies. The next article will
take up another class of dangers-
special dangers peculiar to America,
which the allied powers either do not
share at allorwhich involve them
only indirectly or to a small extent.

Commercial Danger
2. The commercial danger. The
contest between Germany and her
competitors would not end with the
fighting. That is only the first stage.
Germany's conquest would be com-
pleted, and the real fruits of victory
gathered, in the commercial measures
that would follow.
Supposing a German victory with
America neutral, what would these
measures be? They would be what-
ever commercial arrangements were
to Germany's benefit and to the detri-
ment of her competitors. For example
she would compel England and France
to admit German manufactured goods
free, or at low duties, thereby pre-
venting any competing industries from
springing up in the conquered lands.
At the same time she would erect tariff
