Mayer, the “incorrigible op¬timist” and secretary to PresidentHutchins, set before the socialiststhe words of Walter Lippman: “A so¬cialist before he is eighteen isn’tworth a damn and one after he is thir¬ty-eight isn’t worth a damn either.”He questioned their potential abili¬ties to disprove this statement byplacing before them the problem ofmaking the theoretical “One World”theirs and challenging them to form¬ulate a solution.That the world is one big unhappyfamily has been discovered by “Chris¬topher Columbus” Willkie after fiftyyears and one presidential campaign.Mayer cited that the main flaw inWillkie’s advocation of such a feder¬ation is that if any component partof a one-world union is bad, such anorganization must be forestalled.

He came looking forold MAROON copies in order that hemight prove to a Chicago judge thathe was not a Nazi.Four years ago, back in 1939, aCampus Peace Conference was in ses¬sion at Chicago. The MAROON ac¬count of May 3 of that year reads“the meeting was heckled throughoutits course, especially by an unidenti¬fied young man who waved a Naziflag for the benefit of a cameraman.”That unidentified young man was backlast week searching for proof of thefact that it was all in fun.His name is Carl Petersen. In 1939,together with a fraternity brother, hefelt the urge to. study the reactions ofthe Peace Conferees with a swastikashaken in their faces. He did so, flam¬boyantly, and thereby broke up themeeting. Graduating', Petersen camein due course to join the MerchantMarine. Nevertheless, the ghost of aJoe College prank threatened lastweek to drag him from the service andbrand him forever as a pre-war Nazi.Accused by an unknown party, hehas been arraigned before a Chicagocourt for investigation. There he mustprove the flag trick was merely hisidea of a good joke: if he does not, hewill undoubtedly find himself accusedun enemy sympathizer. Monday after¬noon he was thumbing through oldcopies of Pulse and the MAROON inthe hope that he might find withintheir four year old pages, documentalevidence that no harm was ever in-lencied. The women receiving the awardshave completed 85 hours of Nurse’sAide training, including 45 hours ofpractical experience in Billings hos¬pital. They are the first college classof Nurse’s Aides to be graduated inthe Chicago area.Mrs. Spiegel pointed out that in giv¬ing volunteer service in hospitalswomen are performing one of themost necessary war services, as theonly way civilian hospitals can remainadequately staffed with trainednurses enrolling in the armed forcesby the help of these volunteerISNurse’s Aides.As fnany'fhor^ Aides are needed inthis area, plans for an acceleratedsummer class for college students areunderway.

Following the salutory ex¬changes between the merchant seamenand the armed sentry came a tersewarning to the sailors not to trans¬gress upon specified sectors of thevillage for fear of “getting theirheads beaten in by pro-Nazis and sus¬pected spies in the district.” Thus didFrank Sherman, recently returnedfrom North Africa, describe his firstimpression of this theater of war inan exclusive interview with the CHI¬CAGO MAROON.The Chicago-\ born sailor, who isa member of theNational MaritimeUnion, left in aconvoy from NewYork during theend of Februaryand, following arather uneventfulsix week Atlanticcrossing, arrivedat Gibraltar. He de¬scribed the white-painted Spanishmerchant vessels as “continually sail¬ing through our convoy and not onstrictly neutral missions.” In adidtionto the umbrella of United NationsFrank Shermanversity libraries—invariably tend tocontinually acquireGibraltar or nearby North Africanair fields to escort the convoy alongthe coast, there were several Spanishmilitary planes shuttling back andforth above the ships, in clear view ofthe convoy below.He commented that “the tripthrough the Mediterranean was quietand the convoy was not disturbed inany manner but we heard of ships inearlier and following groups havingbeen sunk by torpedoes.” He alsoadded that there had been no evi¬dences of axis air activity over theMediterranean.(Continued on page six)Britannica BoardElects Benton ChairmanAt its first meeting since its in¬corporation with the University ofChicago, the Board of Directors of theEncyclopaedia Britannica elected Wil¬liam C. Benton, vice president of theUniversity, chairman.Mr. Benton, on his part, immediate¬ly announced that between 25 to 30fellowships in a wide range of aca¬demic fields carrying grants of $1,000-$2,000 annually will be established inthe University of Chicago by the En¬cyclopaedia Britannica.Appointments to the fellowshipswill be made by the University, of Chi¬cago from competent graduate stu¬dents in various fields of scholarship.Most of the fellowships will be for oneyear, although some will extend into asecond year. They will be open to menand womeh graduate students of allinstitutions. Eighteen fellowships willbe granted in 21 different fields. De¬cision on the exact amount of the fel¬lowship depends on the volume ofwork to be done for Britannica andthe qualifications of the applicant.University faculty committees arebeing apointed to give editorial adviceand consultation to the Britannica in its policy of continuous annual revis¬ion. This policy, established under theSears ownership, eliminates periodicnew editions. The chief work done byBritannica “fellows” for Britannicawill be to read sections of Britannicadealing with special fields and to dis¬cuss the material with faculty mem¬bers, making a report to the facultycommittee in the department. Thecommittee, in turn, will report to Mr.Yust, editor of the Encyclopaedia, as towhich articles need revision, who arethe leading authorities of specifiedfields, and who should rewrite articlesif they need revision. Recommenda¬tions of “fellows” will be checked byfaculty committees, and reflected in allnew printings of Britannica.At the same meeting of the board ofdirectors in which Mr. Benton waschairman, officers of the Encyclopaediaunder Sears, Roebuck ownership werereelected, including Mr. E. H. Powell,president; Walter Yust, vice-presidentand editor, L. C. Schoenwald, vice-president in chaTge of sales, and S. R.Fuller, treasurer. W. G, Tams waselected secretary, a new office.

Beals, director of libraries,are the result of military activities oncampus, and some are caused by thechanging characteristics of the studentbody as the war draws off segments ofthe campus population and the Col¬lege adds new life. Still other changessimply are the result of the ravagesof time; libraries—and especially uni-more books and almost never throwanything away.Series of MergersThe Philosophy Reading Room ismerging with the Divinity library, theamalgam to be on the third floor inSwift. •Books of the School of Business,Social Service Administration libariesand the Social Science Reading Roomwill be located in the main readingroom on the«third floor in Harper.The periodicals from these librarieswill be centralized, along with thegeneral periodicals, in Harper E-31,the periodical room becoming a per¬manent department of the library. In¬cidentally, the wall shutting off theperiodical room from the E-31 lobby isdesigned simply to make the periodicalroom a real room, instead of a cor¬ridor.Reserve Books MovedThe reserve book shelves, hithertolocated in E-31 along with the pe¬riodicals, will be located on the firstfloor of Harper, probably in the spacewhich is now the west end of the So¬cial Science Reading Room.S.S.A. Reading Room, Harper M-11,it is proposed, will become somethingnew in the campus library world—anope n-shelf, lounging-a n d-smoking-permitted social library for the useof students in the College, with nov¬els and new general books, as well asCollege optional readings, on theshelves.Rare ^ooks RiseThe Rare Book room. Harper W-41,will be used for stacks; a readingroom for the rare books will be onthe sixth floor, west tower, in thespace previously occupied by theSchool of Business library. The oldPhilosophy Library space on the fifthfloor, west tower, will be used forlibrary offices and as archives for Uni¬versity papers and official publica¬tions.' Three Units ComingThe three units will total severalhundred men, the largest group be¬ing in the basic engineering programwith smaller advanced groups in areaand language training and in psychol¬ogy. The latter two training programsare the first of their kind to be in¬stituted in the Sixth Service Com¬mand, comprising the states of Illi¬nois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Select¬ed entirely on the basis of merit andability by the Army, the studentswill be under military discipline andwill receive Army pay while in train¬ing.Col. E. V.

This residence hall, and Blakeand Gates halls, wil be used for hous¬ing. The first of the trainees will ar¬rive at the University today.Twelve Week CourseThe group in the basic phase ofthe Army specialized training pro¬gram will receive three 12-week pe¬riods of instruction, in a curriculumwhich includes English, history, geog¬raphy, physics, chemistry and mathe¬matics. In the last peried of thecourse, work in a specialized field willthen be eligible for further specializedtraining, for assignment to officertraining schools, or for return to fieldunits as non-commissioned officers.The course in area and language isto prepare Army administrators foroccupied territory. Instruction willbe given in speaking two foreign lan¬guages, recent world history, and thegeography and social organizationand institutions of the countries ofEurope and the Mediterranean. Thecourse will be organized in two three-month periods, and those students whosatisfactorily complete .it will be eli¬gible for specialized service.Provides Intensive TrainingThose selected by the Army forwork in psychology already have hadsome college training in mathematicsand psychology. The course, whichwill provide intensive training in sta-tisites, tests and measurements, per¬sonnel methods, learning, perception,and similar fields, is to provide can¬didates for classification and person¬nel service.(Continued on page six; NOTICEWill persons knowing names of uni-veristy women who plan to becomeJune brides next month please con¬tact Victor Herbert at the Maroonoffice, Lexington Hall, immediately.If no one is there, please slip namesunder the door.

This is thegreatest political victory the Axis has achieved duringthe war. Unless the causes which have led to the breakare quickly removed, the victory of the United Nationsand future peace are both in jeopardy.The Polish-Soviet understanding, which came aboutin the summer of 1941 and which was followed up in De¬cember, 1941, by a treaty of alliance and a declarationof post-war collaboration between Poland and the SovietUnion, failed to produce the friendly cooperation whichboth sides expected. The cause of this failure is to befound in the romantic hyper-nationalism and in the po¬litical irresponsibility of the major part of the Polishemigre intelligentsia. Having learned nothing from theevents of 1939 and from the later course of the war, theystarted immediately to oppose and to thwart GeneralSikorski’s policy of collaboration with Soviet Russia.]|c 3|> )|CThe very signing of the Polish-Soviet agreement inJuly, 1941, was accompanied by a crisis in the Polishgovernment-in-exile. The opponents of the agreement,the leaders of which were mostly members of the former“colonel’s regime” and adherents of Colonel Beck’s policy,or members of the definitely Fascist “national camp,” hadstarted an embittered opposition against General Sikor¬ski’s foreign policy. This opposition organized its centerin the United States and is led by Colonel Matuszewski.It has been doing much damage to the morale of Ameri¬cans of Polish descent among whom it is building upstrong emotions against our Soviet, Czechoslovak andBritish allies.Being led by persons outside the government, this op¬position was a nuisance rather than a real danger to Po¬lish-Soviet relations. The real danger to these relationsconsisted in the fact that its views were shared by manymembers of the government, by the National Council inLondon, arid above all, by the Polish government-in-exile.This fact has thwarted consistently all attempts by Gen¬eral Sikorski to carry out his policy of friendly relationswith Soviet Russia.« « •In the spring of 1942 strong anti-Soviet sentiments\vrere expressed in the National Council. A resolutionstressing the claim to pre-war eastern frontiers waspassed in December, 1942. Another resolution was passedin February, 1943. In none of these resolutions was thereany mention of the Ukranian and White Ruthenian popu¬lations which form the majority in the disputed terri¬tories.At the same time a constant anti-Soviet campaign wasbeing carried on in the Polish emigre press and by theofficial diplomatic and information services. Among in¬cidents in this campaign there are such facts as furnish¬ing The Chicago Tribune with anti-Russian materialand the activities of the American Friends of Poland, anorganization acting under the auspices of the Polish Em¬bassy and counting among its members this country’sforemost isolationist leaders. Colonel Langhorn is chair¬man, Mr. Cudahy, General Wood, Mr. Robert Hall Mc¬Cormick, Miss Lucy Martin belong to it. This collabora¬tion of Polish diplomacy with persons who have beenoutstanding advocates of a negotiated peace with Ger¬many IS unanimously interpreted as an anti-Soviet pol¬icy. The activities of the press, of the information serv¬ ices and of the diplomatic representatives of the govern¬ment-in-exile have thwarted General Sikorski’s personalefforts. Having signed an agreement and an alliancewith the Sovit government. General Sikorski proved un¬able to “deliver the goods.” He has been consistentlysabotaged by his own government, by the National Coun¬cil, and by all government agencies.■X * 4>The subsequent deterioration 'of Polish-Soviet rela¬tions was accompanied by a deterioration of relationswith Czechoslovakia, which had followed a consistentlypro-Soviet foreign policy. An anti-Czech campaign set onin the emigre press and Polish government agencies un¬dertook to support the Slovak separatist movement. Tocite but a few instances, pamphlets written by Slovakseparatists were distributed in New* York and Mr. MilanHodza communicated with Slovak separatists in thiscountry through channels provided by the Polish govern¬ment.The situation was made worse when the anti-Russianline was taken not only by the Right but also by someLeft Wing emigre intellectuals. Thus, for instance, theSocialist “Robotnik Polsk” followed other papers in theanti-Russian campaign. It attacked Mr. Eden’s pro-Rus¬sian policy, accused Mr. Benes of servilism toward Rus¬sia, and supported the Serb nationalists against theYugoslav partisans. Like isolationism in the UnitedStates, the attitude toward Russia followed individualinclinations rather than party lines. Among the support¬ers of an understanding with Soviet Russia are personswho are political and social conservatives.* « «Under such conditions General Sikorski became quiteisolated. Unfortunately, he tried to meet the situationby appeasing the anti-Russian sentiment. In the atmo¬sphere of nationalist hysteria which prevailed among theemigre intelligentsia, General Sikorski has made one con¬cession after another, until his policy has become prac¬tically indistinguishable from that of his opponent Ma¬tuszewski. Deteriorating rapidly, the situation slipped to¬ward the present break. The antecedents of the breakare well known and need not be repeated.Events having got that far the present crisis, whichthreatens to turn into a political catastrpohe, cannotbe made up by patchwork. The Polish government-in¬exile, which has so utterly mismanaged the affairs of thenation intrusted to its care, should resign, and the Na¬tional Council, which consists of appointees who repre¬sent nobody, should be dissolved. In its place a newPolish government should be created, a government ofpeople who understand the realities of the war and whoare animated with a sense of responsibility to their peo¬ple and to the common cause of the United Nations.The new government would have to base its policyon the following principles:A conflict among the United States, Great Britain andthe Soviet Union must be avoided at all costs, becauseit jeopardizes victory and future peace, and because itmust result in the final ruin of the Polish nation, whichwould be the chief victim of the conflict.The Polish civil and military administration mustbe cleansed of all elements which desire such conflict.The prime objective of Polish policy is to secure thewelfare of the Polish nation which emerges from theruiits of the war. This requires pace in which the Polishpeople can devote all its resources to economic and cul¬tural reconstruction. Therefore, Poland cannot allowherself to be used as a tool of other powers against herSoviet neighbor, or against any other nation.Polish-Soviet relations should be as friendly as thosebetween Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union. This is aprerequisite of Polish-Czechoslovak unity.The Polish government appreciates fully the wrongsdone by the undemocratic pre-war regime to the Ukra-nian and White Ruthenian populations. Poland does notdesire to keep these populations against their will.>!■ >l> *The eastern frontiers of Poland should be settledamicably with the Soviet Union in a way which will safe¬guard the interests and desires of the Ukrainian andWhite Ruthenian as well as of the Polish and Jewishpopulations living in the disputed territories.Such a platform alone can prevent Germany fromwinning the war politically, after she has failed to winit by military means.Whether a Polish government adopting the outlinedprinciples will be created or not, I do not know. Amer¬ican public opinion, however, should refrain from con¬demning the Polish nation for the political irresponsibil¬ity of emigres who have learned nothing and forgottennothing. The Polish people showed their quality when,abandoned by another irresponsible government, they or¬ganized spontaneously the heroic defense of Warsawand, later, created the strongest underground movementin occupied Europe. Whatever the government-in-exiledoes or fails to do, the people who stayed in Poland willcarry on the common fight against their enemy and theenemy of all the United Nations.OSCAR LANGE,Profesor at the University of Chicago, Visiting Professorat Columbia University, formerly Lecturer at theUniversity of Cracow.New York, April 28, 1943. , wmimELECTRONICBOMBARDMENTYour columnist regrets to reportthat this is the last issue of the MA¬ROON that will contain the ElectronicBombardment feature.

Northwesternwill be the second and last Big Tenteam to appear on the Midway thisyear.“This will be the team’s best chanceto win a Big Ten game, but the boyswill have to hustle a little more andplay heads-up ball,” remarked CoachKyle Anderson about the team’s pros¬pects.After going down to a 18-2 defeattwice to Iowa here in the Big Tenopener last Saturday^ the MaroonsinsSTered their fifth straight defeatWednesday as the Camp Grant War¬riors walloped them for the third timethis season 12-1.Altho the defeat by Grant was notas bad as the ones suffered from thesame team over the Easter holiday,the Maroons still showed a woefullack of power as they garnered onlysix scattered hits against two Granthurlers. Three of the hits were bunchedin the sixth for Chicago’s lone run.After Paris! and Bailen slapped outsingles, Cimerblat drove a hit to deepshort to drive Paris! in.Last Saturday Iowa garnered 55runs and 34 hits in a doubleheader offFred Cimerblat, Dick StoughUa, DickReynolds and Bill CoTOn. Reynolds,who also atartad the Grant game, hasshown the effects of his lack of prac¬tice earlier in the season and Cimer¬blat definitely belongs in the outfieldwhere he is used to playing. Stough¬ton looks like a very promising newpitching addition to the greatly de¬pleted mound staff and will be givenmore trial. Corson still has the baa*control, but he occaiionally gets introuble with his la**h of stuff.Captain Nick Paris!, playing histhird year on the squad, has taken Paul Homer’s place at short. Homer,star slugger thb year, left with theERC last week. Parisi has certainlynot been a peppery Pee Wee Reese,but in lieu of his baseball experienceamong the rest of the boys, Nick hasbeen doing a passable job. Pete Con¬roy, Eddie Cooperrider and Chet Lu-key round out the at-times-leaky in¬field. The outfield is satisfactory withCimerblat, Bob Finnegan, who hit ahomer to account for all Maroon runsin the second game at Camp Grant,and Bob Nelson, Wally Pfeil andBailen have worked fairlywell behindthe plate.But when the team meets a fastclicking squad, they seem to forgetjust what to do on fast-breaking plays,and before they can pull themselvestogether, the opposition has a 10-0lead. The pitchers’ liberal issuance ofbases on balls also helps contribute tothe terrific scores piled up by the oth¬er teams.Anderson plans to start Stoughtontomorrow in the first game and possi¬bly Reynolds in Saturday’* coii^Biit.Andaraon thinks Esiyiwldi would be1 airtll thocker, only he doesn’t cometo practice often enough to stay incondition.

But althoughRay Randall, Bob Kincheloe, Bill May-er-Oakes, Harry Beardsley, and theothers are long gone, the big boys onthe other teams—Lou Sahan at Indi¬ana, Ralph Pohland and Floyd Foslienat Minnee^te, Je^ry Bauer, Bod Hod^-ell, and Jim McFadzean at Wisconsin—were still around.Chicago placed fourth, behind In¬diana, Minnesota, and Wiaconain andahead of NorthwMtoni avd PvdM,but MMt iff Hm beyi who biad beenpiling up points for Chicago againstthe minor league opposition of theearly-season meets simply were notgood enough to score against the oldtimers.Whitey Hlad, who was going tolead the Maroon team to victory atwhatever cost, failed to do that butturned in a good individual perform¬ance anyway. To win three events—both the hurdles races and the 100yard dash—Hlad had to run six times,since prelims were held in all three,yet his wins gave Chicago 15 of the18 points. But that the Big Ten hasoutlawed the javelin, he might havemade some more.The other three points were scoredby John McKean, who finished third inthe two mile run, and by the relayteam which was fourth.Four of the same six teams arebooked to run again tomorrow on thePurdue track, and since the two whowill not compete in this one had acombined total of 69 1/3 points last week, Chicago might do better bycapturing these orphan points.

The Ar¬my lacked sufficient drivers to trans¬port a quantity of jeeps, which madeup the cargo, to the transport centers.The sailors volunteered their servicesand did a job which evoked praisefrom the Army officers.Since his return from Africa earlyin April, Sherman has been engagedin work for the Joint Anti-FascistRefugee Committee. Like many otherseamen who devote their shore leavesto this and similar organizations, hebelieves that “political work behindthe lines is just as important as frontline fighting.’’ The committee has beenactive in securing the release of manyof the several thousand Spanish loyal¬ists captives in North Africa. Shermanmet several of these and became in¬terested in the cause through a ship¬mate who acted as interpreter.Lastly, he stated that the politicalattitude of many of the inhabitants ofNorth Africa is not yet what mightbe desired.
