Vol. 41. No. 97 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 23. 1941 Price Three CentsASU Holds Peace StrikeParade In Circle TodayPeace Strike StartsResurrection RumorTwo hundred and fifty atodentswaited with bated breath for Mr.Walter H. C. Lavea to appear todeliver hia regular soc lecture.Three minutea before the hour,two white-coated gentlemen walk¬ed slowly down the aisle carryinga stretcher containing a muffled6gnre.The assembled students stirreduneasily and the story racedthrough the crowd that Laves hadsworn he would never miss a lec¬ture even though “hell should barthe way.” The two men reachedthe head of the hall and the figureMl the stretcher painfully re¬moved his bandages and stooderect. The throng relaxed; it wasbut a peace striker come to warnthem of the approaching hola-caust.The three men in white hadhardly disappeared when Mr.Laves himself came forward cladin nothing more startling than ahumdrum business suit"EnglandUnited"—Finer“Democracy has never been strong¬er or more vigorous in England thanit is today under Churchill’s leader¬ship.“Contrary to general opinion, Cham¬berlain’s failure was the failure of aquasi-dictator.“Churchill’s strength and thestrength of Britain today stem froma more genuinely democratic admin¬istration.’’An Inside ReportPresenting an inside report onpolitical-economic Britain, ProfessorHerman Finer made these observa¬tions yesterday in a public lecture atthe University. Dr. Finer, a memberof the faculty of the London School ofEconomics, is visiting professor ofpolitical science at the University. Hearrived here from London three weeksago in a thrice-bombed convoy.Speaking on “Cabinet, Parliament,and Civil Service in Wartime,’’ Dr.Finer compared the operations of theBritish government under the impactof total war to its operations underLloyd George, during the first WorldWar, and under Neville Chamberlain.Government Unified“At no time in the history of theBritish Empire,” Dr. Finer declared,“has there been such a unification ofthe legislative and executive branchesof government. The Cabinet is strong¬er, the Parliament is stronger, and thepeople are united by conviction thatthey are part and parcel of the greatenterprise which they have found itnecessary to undertake.“Chamberlain was too vain to askfor the advice and criticism of Par¬liament. Churchill has placed abso¬lute trust in Parliament. He seeksits criticism and meets it, fully awareof the strength that resides in thethought and action of a free assem¬bly.’’“Let Things Slide”After war was declared in 1939, Dr.Finer said, Chamberlain adopted apolicy of “let things slide.” Economiccontrol was left chiefly in the handsof the treasury, interested primarilyin fiscal matters rather than the re¬organization of national economy forwar purposes. Chamberlain was tooobstinate to call into service the onlynian in England capable of rallyingthe entire nation to immediate andunified action. Dr. Finer said.“This man was Winston Churchill,”Dr. Finer declared. “He assumed pow¬er after Parliament, reflecting thewill of the people, had revolted againstChamberlain and replaced him with aUlan capable of saying ‘My policy isto wage war, and my object is victory.’(Continued on page three) Himmelf TedrowVie For HeadOf D.A.

First on the list is theLindbergh Kidnapping Case. In thataffair, the two Walters proved to thesatisfaction of the jury that BrunoHauptmann wrote the notes to theLindbergh family demanding ran¬som.Another interesting case was thatof A1 CJapone in which the Waltersproduced the sole pieces of evidencelinking “Scar-face Al” with hissources of income. In this case theyproved that certain checks receivedby that eminent Cicero citizen werevalid and consequently his income taxstatement was a magnificent under¬statement.Mr. Walter will show slides andanswer questions after his lecture.Admission plus cigarettes are free.The University Yacht Club willcomplete its annual election of of¬ficers today at 4:30 in Eckhardt202. At its last meeting CharlesMowery was elected commodore.Plans will also be drawn up for adual meet with the NorthwesternYacht Club tentatively scheduledfor May 18.

Carter, Travers, Florry, Guer¬rero Speak; F.O.R. and YC-AW Also Have Meetings.The annual Peace Strike, which ispart of a national movement, thatstarted in 1935, will begin today bythe formulation of a parade in thecircle at 11.Proceeding first around the circle,the parade will continue completelyaround the quadrangles and return toHutchinson Court, where the fourspeakers of the day will be heard at11:10. In case of rain, the speakerswill take the platform in Mandel Hall.Four Men Will SpeakThe four men who are to speak con¬cerning the peace strike are all prom¬inent in their respective fields oflabor, religion, minority groups, andacademic circles.Albert Howard Carter, English in¬structor at the university, will presentthe academic viewpoint for peace. BobTravers, leader of the recent success¬ful Harvester strike, will be thespokesman for labor. Ishmael Florry,field organizer of the National NegroCongress, and the Reverend ArmandGuerrera, a pastor of the MethodistEpiscopal Church of Evanston, willspeak for the minority groups and re¬ligion respectively.“The Conscientious Objector”In the afternoon, at 4, the Fellow¬ship of Reconciliation is sponsoring agroup of speeches at Bond Chapel un¬der the title, “The Conscientious Ob¬jector”. Kenneth Cuthbertson, Secre¬tary of the Chicago Youth CommitteeAgainst War, and Donovan E. Smuck-er. Mid-west Secretary of the Fellow¬ship of Reconciliation, which is an in¬ternational religious pacifist organi¬zation, are to explain their politicaland religious views for agreeing withthe conscientious objector. SinclairDrake, a university student, who re¬cently returned his questionnairestating his objection on grounds ofdiscrimination against the Negro race,will also present his views.Millions Invested inGermany Today byU.S.A. Says MosakBy MARJORY GOODMANThe United States stands to lose426 million dollars if she goes to waragainst Germany. For that figure, ac¬cording to Jacob L. Mosak, Instructorin Economics and Research Associatefor the Cowles Commission, repre¬sents the approximate amount ofAmerican investments in Naziland.Situation UnchangedHowever, actual confiscation ofAmerican industries in the event ofwar would not greatly alter the ex¬isting situation, since even now allproduction is rigidly controlled by theGerman government. This control hasplaced American industries in Ger¬many in the undesirable position ofbeing forced to supply not only Ger¬many, but also those countries thatthe Nazi government desires to re¬ceive any exports.Little can be done about the anom¬aly, explained Mosak. Were Americaninvestors to try to sell their invest¬ments, their sole buyer probablywould be Germany. The selling pricewould be the one set by the Germangovernment.Nazis Would Not Pass MoneyFurthermore, Germany would un¬doubtedly refuse to let any large sumof money pass out of her borders.Since German investments in Americaare worth only 109 million dollars anexchange of holdings would certainlynot be practical. War or no war, busi¬ness, it seems, must continue in spiteof altercations.

Lateyesterday Jim Stolp, who had figuredon taking the Eldridge Ebblevort partin “Dust It Off,” left the show.Abbott Salzmann and Producer Ran¬dall rose to the occasion by immediate¬ly signing up Robert R. Miller, bestcharacter actor to grace the Quad¬rangles in several years, for the vitalpart. This timely move will probablyprove the best piece of luck that theshow has had.Dramatic Association star. Millerfits his difficult part to perfection. DAfans remember his superb portrayalof the Baron in “Death Takes AHoliday.” Probably his best perform¬ance this year was as the drunk,in ‘“The Second Mrs. Tanqueray.” AsEldridge Ebblevort, meek, retiring,craven little man who finds himselfsaddled with the gargantuan task ofraising $10,000,000 in three weeks.Bob Miller comes into his own. Hisperformance will undoubtedly be asmash hit and should pave the way forfurther success for the young actor.A sophomore member of Beta ThetaPi, Miller has thrown his energ^iesinto his new part with boundless en¬thusiasm. Both Salzmann and DeanRandall are delighted at being able tosecure his services. Native of Chicagoand graduate of Hyde Park High,Miller recently organized, completelyon his own initiative, a radio groupwhich works over metropolitan sta¬tions regularly.(Continued on page two)The new issue of the Alumni Mag¬azine is out today headlined by anarticle by Milton Mayer, HutchinsHenchman, called “Your House Is OnFire”.

Despite the fact that it appears necessary,it is a nuisance to college students who are con¬fronted with the prospect of having their col¬legiate careers interrupted by two or three yearsof enforced military service. We note that thegenerals down in Washington backed by therecommendation of President Roosevelt deemit wise to forego continuance in college as anexcuse for exemption. We also note that the na¬tion does not see eye to eye with the gold leafbrigade. According to the latest Gallup poll,69% of the nation wishes college men the rightto continue their education. Hard hittingThinkersThe Princetonian tickles some sortof funny bone in us with this: “Theleaves are on the trees and the win¬dows are wide flung.

TENNIS RACKETSM « to M750heading South?Considering the problem as a matter of com¬mon sense, there would be considerable resent¬ment among these students who were jerkedfrom school. They would not be entering theirtraining period in the best possible frame ofmind. If the army is to be as good as the blueprints call for, it would be unwise to have mor¬ale spotty and uncooperative. The majority ofcollege students on this campus who have ex¬pressed an opinion about the draft say theywould go if called, not because of their desireto strengthen the nation’s military situation,but mainly because there was no other re¬course. With that sort of an attitude the armywill have college men, who are practically paci¬fists at heart, going through empty motions. condolences as the shoulder was being fixed . . .

Perhaps the socialranking of army life would be raised if thenumber of college students who are slated forthe knife were allowed to take their degrees.Most of them feel that they would rather enlistin the Marine Officer’s Training Corps, or somebranch of the air service in preference to enter¬ing as a draftee.Bungle away, oh administration, and get abunch of resentful college men who potentially,if handled correctly in the first place, could bevaluable asset to any army.R.F.-D.R.

Primarily to provide ameans of contact for the many resi¬dents and former residents of thethree International Houses in thiscountry, many libraries and schoolssubscribe to the five-year old publica¬tion.There are forty thousand formerresidents living all over the world,who contribute most of the material,articles more personal than thestandard journalism foreign corre¬spondence. In this issue for example,are war letters from France, fromEngland, from Sweden, from Italy, anarticle on “The Negro in the UnitedStates,” a West African’s impressions.Maugham SpeaksOccasionally others contribute. ThisMarch Somerset Maugham spoke atthe International House here in Chi¬cago, and his speech on “Democracyand the Individual,” is reprinted here,and is answered in “About the Fall ofFrance,” by Leon Trilling, a French¬man recently arrived in this country.Maugham quotes Abraham Lincoln,“While the people retain their virtueand vigilance, no administration, byany extreme of wickedness or folly,can seriously injure the government,”and maintains that the fall of Francewas caused by the corrupt press andgovernment, implying that the Frenchpeople had lost their integrity, or theresulting corruption would not haveensued.“No More Corrupt Than U.S.A.”Trilling defends his country, sayingthat the people of France were nomore corrupt in 1940 than in 1914, andno more corrupt than the people ofthe United States or England. Hestates that the fall of France was thefailure of a democracy “dominated byconservative professional politiciansand business monopolies...” The peo¬ple, who fight the battles, were dis¬illusioned and doubtful, and theirleaders did not help them. The peopleof Britain know what they are fight¬ing for, and this, says Trilling, istheir hope.Finer—(Continued from page one)Treasury Subordinated“Under Churchill an efficient, uni¬fied, and closely-knit executive govern¬ment has been organized. Churchillhas surrounded himself with vigorousand capable political leaders who un¬derstand modern totalitarian war, andthe office of the treasury, which haddominated under the Chamberlain re¬gime, has been made subordinate.”Kingsley Wood, chancelor of the ex¬chequer, is permitted control onlyover purely fiscal matters. Importanteconomic problems of production andforeign trade are in other hands. Dr.Finer said.Two Oppose Defense“Before the outbreak of the war,”Dr. Finer declared, “two importantpolitical figures in England had op¬posed the creation of an adequate de¬fense program, unable to foresee thenature of the war that was indicatedby the rapidly developing German warmachine. These men were Baldwinand Chamberlain. Baldwin was lazy,complacent, and unwilling to assumeleadership. Chamberlain was a ro¬mantic who believed that his personalintervention in European affairs couldinduce Hitler to behave decently.“Both men were affected by what inAmerica is called the ‘Wall Streetpoint of view.’ According to this viewa nation should not prepare for waruntil actual war is declared. An ade¬quate defense program is regarded asgovernment interference with free¬dom of private enterprise.“Both Baldwin and Chamberlainfailed completely to understand thenature of blitzkrieg warfare whichhad been perfected by Hitler, namelya sudden, undeclared attack using thetotal capacities of the nation toachieve a decisive victory.”Government Foresaw WarMore than ten years before the out¬break of the first World War, Dr.Finer said, the British governmenthad seen the danger of totalitarianwar that was arising in Europe. Be¬cause England cannot survive unlessthe parts of its empire are united, itbecame necessary to set up in 1904the “Committee of Imperial Defense,”to consider national defense from thestandpoint of England’s world-wideconnections.

He abolished the old war cab¬inet of twenty ministers and formeda five-man cabinet which functioned“quickly, decisively, and without fum¬bling.” The war was won partly be¬cause of the efficiency of this cabinet,and partly because of the genius ofLloyd George, Dr. Finer said.

Most of the gruesome detailscan be imagined by a look at the boxscore printed below.We should instead like to pay atribute—a tribute to the man who hassuffered most by the Maroon losses—to Art Lopatka. captain, pitcher, in¬fielder and outfielder.MartyrsThey say Berwanger, Haarlow, andStampf are martyrs because of theteam backing they obtained whilethey were stars. But Art tops themall. He is without question one of thebest ball players in the Big Ten. Hispitching is tops. Northwestern madeonly one earned run Friday. And whathappened yesterday—It was the beginning of the ninthinning. Chicago was behind 6-4 andhad a good chance to win. The teamBox ScoreCHICAGOA.B. R. H. E.E.

AslSayingWasing- IBy BOB LAWSONThe University has often reiteratedthat its athletic policy is one differentthan that of most schools—athleticsare carried on for their inherent goodto the participants, rather than forthe commercial aspect.Tuesday there occurred an almostcomplete contradiction of this policywhen Jay Mullen and Don Richards ofthe fencing team were refused theirminor awards due to drinking on thetrain en route to the Conference fenc¬ing meet at Columbus, Ohio, March14.Took a DrinkWhile sitting on the train beforelunch at least three hours before themeet started, each of them took a pullat a bottle Mullen had along. Theywere spotted by a member of anotherteam who reported it to his coach.Instead of telling Coach Alvar Her-manson, this coach went to AthleticDirector Nelson Metcalf with thestory. Tuesday the affair was cul¬minated with a meeting of the coachesof the University, and the two wererefused the awards which they hadwon.If the authorities were so incensedat the actions of the men, they shouldhave kept them from competing in themeet. Despite this breach Richardstook two out of four, and Mullen con¬tributed *4 point. Chicago won with14 Vi points noking out Northwesternand Wisconsin, both of whom had 14tallies.Why Fussy Now?A pertinent question might be putto the authorities as to when theybecame so fussy about training in¬fractions. The basketball team of '40-’41 was not lily-white by any means.Or do they remember the last footballteam which represented the Univer¬sity? Yet these athletes all receivedtheir awards.It is certainly inconsistent with theathletic policy of Chicago to pull sucha stunt. Both of these men had wontheir awards and clearly deservedthem. If they were to be penalized for Phi Psi’s, Phi SigsAlpha Delts WinIn l-M SoftballThe Alpha Delts put their game onice in the fifth inning with an 11 runoutburst, as they defeated the PhiSigma Delta “B” boys 26-8 in I-MSoftball yesterday afternoon.The Phi Kappa Psis beat the PsiU B’s by four runs. The Psi U boystied it up at 7-7 when they pushedover six tallies in their half of thethird inning, but Phi Kappa Psi scor¬ed a run in their half of the sameinning, and never relinquished theirlead.The Phi Sigma Delts had no troublehandling the DU B’s. They scoredseven runs in the second inning, andthereafter the DU team failed to comewithin more than seven runs of thevictors.IM SoftballPhi Psi, 11; Psi U “B”, 7Phi Gam over D U “C”, ForfeitPhi Sig, 16; D U “B”, 6Alpha Delt, 26; Phi Sig “B”, 8their conduct, they could have beenprivately reprimanded by either thecoach or Metcalf. There is absolutelyno necessity for such drastic actionto my mind.Worked HardThey worked long and hard all sea¬son, yet they will receive no officialrecognition for their labors. One smallinfraction ruins all this. The breachis not even as serious as it may seem.No training rules were given to thefencing team as is the custom withmost of the teams here. The squadmembers are generally given thecredit of knowing how to keep them¬selves in the best shape to success¬fully compete.Others Wrong ThenIf one drink will ruin a man’s ef¬ficiency, some noted sports figureshave no reason to be big shots. Per¬haps Metcalf has heard of the majorleague baseball managers who recom¬mend beer as part of the training pro¬gram. Or maybe he has heard the sto¬ries of Babe Ruth. I don’t mean toimply that either of these men are inthe same class as those I have men¬tioned, but it simply shows that al¬coholic liquors are not a bad as theyare paint^.If the athletic department persistsin this action, it certainly seems tome that they should admit that theiroft-repeated policy is a false one. Net TeamFaces TechawksChicago’s tennis “B” team will beplaying for its sixth straight victoryof the season, when they meet theTechawks from near-by Illinois Techhere, today, at 2:80. Paced by JimmyMcClure and Bob Weedfall, the shortand the long of Maroon tennis, the“B” squad puts an enviable four yearrecord of undefeated net play onblock once again today.Never in danger at any time thisyear, the “B” auxilliary to the var¬sity can complete their regular sched¬ule for the term with the-slate intactby taking the underdog Techawks.As usual, Stan Levy, Ralph Johan-son, Ed Ide, and Grover Daly will per¬form in the supporting cast to Mc¬Clure and the weird, but effective,style personified by Weedfall.Stagg Field Site ofNew Golf RangeA new driving range for Univerait>’golfers will open Sunday, April 27, atStagg Field, which will be availableto all University students and theirguests.
