Brophy "MICHIGAN FOR AMERICA" "Michigan for America," the words emblazoned on the banner, typified the spirit of the parade last night which if headed. "Michigan for America" typified the spirit of the all-campus vote yesterday which endorsed by a majority of more than four to one com- pulsory military training to apply at once to all students of the University. Michigan is one of the last large universities to take definite steps to aid the country in the present grave crisis, but the decisiveness of our ac- tion yesterday proves that Michigan will be in the front rank if war comes. In one tense the vote yesterday was taken hurriedly, but it represents an expression of opinion which has been maturing in the minds of Michi- gan students since the critical situa- tion of the country became apparent. We want to call the attention of those few who cry that the vote was "rail- roaded" through and does not fairly represent Michigan sentiment to the parade organized spontaneously and participated in by more than 2,000 stu- dents who were not "crying for war," but who wanted to show that they stood behind their country on .the eve of war. The crisis has united Michigan just as it is uniting the country. Michigan is prepared to do its duty, but it is not prepared for war. The adoption by the Regents today of general or- ders No. 49 would provide us with the officers and equipment necessary to train. Michigan is for America-a prepar- ed America.

INC RESOLUTIONS NOT CARRIED OUT IN DISCUSSION Editor, The Michigan Daily: University of Michigan students have always stood for an honest and intelligent vote and I am sure this was desired"on the question of mili- tary training. To secure such a ballot we should have had plenty of time for Daily dis- cussion and we should have held a mass meeting at which free discus- sion by the students was permitted. The committee which requested the taking of the vote recognized this. Part of their resolution read: "Re- solved, That a thorough and careful discussion of the situation be stimu- lated through the columns of The Michigan Daily, that a mass meeting be called at an early date for serious discussion of the situation and what part the University of Michigan should play." However, only two issues of The Daily were available for the "thor- ough and careful discussion" recom- mended, and no mass meeting was held "at an early date." Dean Effinger said at yesterday's meeting in Hill auditorium, "I take it that we are met after deliberate thought." If such was the case, why were *e twice requested by Mr. Muzzy not to mark our ballots until after the meeting? Perfect impartiality was claimed by the men in charge of the program, be- cause while arranging only for speak- ers to present one side they permitted a student to speak on the other side of the issue. But was it just to have one view advanced by men prepared and the other side only by amen speak- ing extemporaneously? It is claimed that we must immedi- ately install compulsory military training because six months would be required to train the men. If so long is necessary why should not a few more days have been given for dis- cussion and a mass meeting? President Harry B. Hutchins at the committee meeting said, "Do not let enthusiasm throw you off your feet. Avoid all undue haste." And yet a number of men prominent in the man- agement of the balloting admitted to me Wednesday that they believed the voting was being done too hurriedly. And so because time was not given for a "thorough" discussion in The Daily, and because a mass meeting for discussion was not held "at an early date," and because only one view of the question was presented in Hill auditorium by prepared speakers, I claim that the spirit of the resolution was not carried out and that an hon- est and intelligent vote has not been secured. Let us value the results of the bal- loting accordingly. H. G. KING, '18. WOMAN WANTS TRAINING E. D. A. SAYS THERE ARE MANY WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO JOIN PREPAREDNESS MOVE Editor, The Michigan Daily: Now that the uestion of military training is up be ore the University, I wish to make a suggestion. There is no reason on earth why women, young unmarried women, should not be drill- ed as well as the men, and I am sure there are many who would be eager for the training. Perhaps it is neces- sary to train the men first, since they are more useful, but let the women have a chance, too. They ought to be prepared as well as the men. E. D. A.

THE REGENTS AND THE CONFERENCE While the primacy of the military training question rests upon the Re- gents at their meeting today, we must remember that another matter of su- preme importance calls their consid- eration. What will they decide concerning the return to the conference? On Feb. 22 the board in control of athletics voted for a resumption of relations with the big nine by a bal- lot of eight to one. The Regents failed to act on this matter at their February meeting. Despite military training and its significance, the conference question demands action, if for no other reason than the interest it aroused on the campus and among the alumni as- sociations, where overwhelming votes urged a return. What move will the board of regents make? There were no anarchist flags dis- played in the student parade last even- ing. Nor was it a tea party. How can you best serve your coun- try in the event of war? Take stock of yourself now. Wonder if that Gargoyle editorial had any influence on the Inlander be- ing delayed. They both have offices in our basement. By sticking to the sidewalks while< for advertising and who gets the money spent?" The greatest problem of the day, made still harder by horrible world social conditions, is the problem of a more equitable distribution of the so- cial dividend. The advantages of sup- plementary economic reading is that it brings one nearer the knowledge of production and distribution. To spread such knowledge beyond the campus there has recently been placed on file in the engineering library "The New York Journal of Commerce," an ex- pounder of sound economic doctrine in popular form. To prepare themselves as propagandists of applied economics persons would do well if they would read that journal. If wealth is composed of things which have value and our greatest ac- tivity is centered in the economic struggle, our worthiest aim in life should be to inform ourselves on the process of wealth production and how it can be distributed with economic justice. MICHAEL SULLIVAN. WOMAN ENTERS PROTEST SAYS RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH AND THOUGHT REFUSED IN WOMEN'S ASSEMBLY Editor, The Michigan Daily: This protest is entered in behalf of those students who are still patriotic enough to champion the right of free speech and thought, for which our forefathers died. These rights were denied Thursday morning in the wom- en's assembly when the advocates of compulsory military training present- ed their side of the question, and re- fused their opponents the -exercise of the same right. The committee in charge absolutely refused to let any one speak against military training. They said the meet- ing was to be non-controversial, but it was controversial with one side of the controversy suppressed. They said the meeting concerned only students of the University and consequently a woman whose husband is on the fac- ulty could not speak in our behalf, but another woman whose husband is on the faculty spoke for them. Furthermore, the committee said there would be no discussion of the question, and one of their speakers argued for the '15 minutes urging women to adopt compulsory military training so they may learn how to sa- lute an officer. In a monarchy such training might be valuable, but in a democracy there should be no use for it. In presenting the question one speaker repeatedly asserted that com- pulsory military training would in-._ volve no moral or legal obligation to fight in case of war. How long since; training has relieved one from obliga- 'tion. Straight through college we are QUARRY DRUG CO'S. Prescription Store Cor. State & N. University taught that we owe our country more because we are trained. Always it has been maintained that the most civilized nation owes most to the world. The possession of wealth in- volves the obligation to use it. Hence the trained man is =bound to be more liable for service than the untrained. Public opinion would compel the trained man to fight sooner than those who are untrained. RUTH E. HUSTON, 18. MR. LYMAN L. BRYSON WILL / SPEAK ON "MODERN POETRY" Mr. Lyman Bryson will read a pa- per on "Modern Poetry" before the English conference of the Michigan Schoolmasters' club today.
