It is unfor­tunately true that the mass meetingwas not pro-American; but it is alsoVue that it was not pro-American, inspite of the efforts of Dean Lovett.A number of the morning newspap�fascinated .by the "yellow" color of �besituation, as it seemed to be, createdimpressions concerning the actiVity ofDean Lovett, which, in the opimon ofthe Daily Maroon, have no virtue oftruth to save them �. �g aDJ'­thing more than yellow joumalisni. Itis the old, old story of aSsoe��ing aneminent man with. an unpleasantevent. The peace riot, as �� is called,in Grant Park had no fundamental re­lation to the Auditorium meetlng, justas the socialistic trend' o� the meet­ing itself had no fundamental rala­tion to Dean Lovett's own national at­titude.The attempt made last night to pro­test openly �inst �hat were called"Prof. Lovett's unpatriotic addressand action," is similar in. the fieldof human conduct to the news stOriesin the morning papers in the field' ofjournalism. Someone With a rabidand unnatural point of view puts fortha demagogic propaganda, and at­temp� to cr.eate a sentiment-whollyundemocratic, entirely opposed to allthe dicta of free speech and free­dom-against a man whose misdeedconsists in the fact that he has beenvilified by the daily nev.'Spapers. Tofollow hysterically the unstable lead�ership of such a propagandist, and tobe carried off one's feet by his il­logical reasoning-this is to forget I'the solidarity of all human beings,the exerlasting existenc� of justice,the true value of a universal democ­racy. It is our earnest hope thatUniversity members were conspicuousby their absence at the medieval gath­ering last night.As a matter of fact, Dean Lovett'sposition seems to be one of entire in­noce'nce. According to the report inthe Chicago Herald, Dean Lovett spokeas follows: II"We are here to assert. our right.:; � Ithink peace, talk it, and persue it Ieven in war. There are various viewsof the object of war. To some it isa punitive expedition against Ger- �; to some an e1fort to change thegovernment of Germany; to some anattempt at the reorianizaiion of Eu­rope on the basis' of a new distribu­tion of nationalities, but to all of usit is a war for peace."It would be an overwhelming mis­fortune to humanity if it should be­come with us a war for national pres­tige-that is, a war for war."This meeting is not held to passany criticism on" the course of ourcountry in entering the war. On thecontrary, we fervently hope that Mr.Wilson's belief will be justified thatby that course an earlier ending mayresult." .There is nothing in that statementof the spirit of its thought which isat all antagonistic toward the gov­ernment, toward American ideals, to­ward human ai-ms. There are no an­archic or nihilistic beliefs expressedin the statement, � Even to call it so­cialistic (in the narrow sense) is tocalumniate. It is socialistic in so faras it shows a real interest in the fu­ture of society and in the future ofits ideals. There are even no paci­fistie theories in the statement. Thepoint that Dean Lovett makes is this:Where will the war bring human ide­als? That is a legitimate question;each one of us is asking the samequestion.The University is proud of its ac­complishments in the field of nationaldefense. Six hundred men drill daily.Perhaps a hundred men have alreadyvolunteered in various branches ofmili� work. Prof. Millikan is atWasAgton working upon deviceswhich all are closely allied to nationalsafety. President Judson is a ID€m­ber of the Council' of· National De­fense. The University cannot fail to .maintain this American spirit in thepresent situation, cannot fail to de­fend Dean LOvett to the limit of itscapacitr, cannot fail to uphold �eprinciples of democracy and freespeech, which are the basis of theAmerican spirit. Let us, as an Amer·iean universi�, be done with preju­dice, with' febrile demagogis:m.· Letus believe in truth, which is morethan the basis of an American spirit­in truth, which is the solemn wordof God.' . .COMMUNICAtrIO�S.(In view of the fact that the com­munication column of the Daily Ma·roon is maintained as a clearingbouse for student and faculty opbi­ion, The Maroon accepts DO resPon­sibility for the seJttim.ts thereinexpressed. Communications arewelcomed by the editor, and shouldbe signed as an evidence of goodfaith, although the name will not bepublished without the writer's con­eent.)SHALL WE HOLD THE SING?To the Editor of the Daily Maroon:I have just heard that the Inter­fraternity council has decided n6t tohold the Sing this year; on theground, I presume, that it will be dif­ficult. and perhaps impossible for thefraternities to be largely represent­ed in it or, possibly, on the groundgiven rightly in many 'cases nowa­days, that it may interfere w:th theservice of the Xation in this presentcrisis.The cancellation of the Sing seemsto me a' great mistake. It is oneof the best expressions of the lifeand spirit .of the University and, inmy o;>inion, should be held as usual.\Vhat :f the fraternities arc not wellrepresented? \Vhat if some of themhave only two or three men to singfor thcm? The absences arc honor­able and would reccivc a well de­sen·ed empha�is, and tho!'e who areIf it can show their normal enthusi­asm and interest in University life hybeing present and singing.\Ve should all he doing our hit andready for anything ebe possihle forthe cOl:ntry. hut we' :,erve no goodpllrpn . ..;e. either personal or national,hy so ooing away w;th wholesome.:ormal activities that do not inter­fere with national duties. Holding theSing with whate'\·.er number of menmay be availablc s-how:oi character and(Ietefmination, and not holding it shows flabbiness of purpose and sur­render to what in .this case is use­less hysteria. The Nation wants andneeds energy and courage, and a con­tinuation of all usual activities thatdo !!ot interfere with the nationalneed.The various fraternity chapterswould do wen to consult their alumnibefore deciding definitely' on thiscancellation. Unless I am much mis­taken, all of the alumni who areavailable will want to take part.hope the decision made is not final.Respectfully yours,Wm.
