Socialistclub.This talk will be Thomas’ majorpublic address in connection withthe Chicago meeting of the Na¬tional Executive committee of theSocialist party, to set Socialistpolicy for the 1948 elections.Thomas, now National Actioncommittee chairman of the So¬cialist party, has five times beena candidate for president or. theSocialist ticket. He also serves aschairman of the Post-War council.Among the many books he haswritten, the latest is An Appeal tothe Nations, a plea for interna¬tional disarmament.Thomas began his career in theProtestant ministry. His speechesin the deep South, aelivered atmuch personal risk, contributedgreatly to the growth of the South¬ern Tenant Farmer’s Union (nowthe National Farm Labor Unionof the AFL).Perhaps Thomas is best remem¬bered for his part in breaking theban on free speech by “I Am theLaw” Prank Hague. It was theforcible expulsion of NormanThomas from Jersey City thatturned American eyes to the no¬torious regime of the mayor ofJersey City.

SPU DiscussesMarshall PlanRepresentatives of the Commu¬nist club, the Conservative league,the Liberal society, and the poli¬tics club led the Student PoliticalUnion’s discussion on “The Marsh¬all Plan: Can It Be A SuccessfulForeign Policy?” Wednesday.Raymond Holly, member of theConservative league, asserted thatthe Marshall Plan was valuable inview of its practicality, not onlycasing the present food crisis inEurope but also in aiding Europeto regain its pre-war stability on afree enterprise basis.In pointing out the Communists’position, Hans Freistadt said theprincipal objective of the Marshallplan is to squeeze out Russian par¬ticipation in European recovery,establishing a U.S. domination.Russia, he added, could never sub¬scribe to forcing a boom-or-busteconomy on Europe; it wantsEurop>e to work out its own solu¬tion, which would be a form of so¬cialism.The Marshall plan itself is nothumanitarian, Freistadt contend¬ed, for it is inconsistent to believethat an administration would usefascism—i.e., the Taft-Hartley act—at home, and benevolencyabroad.Don Chenoweth of the Politicsclub, said the Marshall plan wase.ssentially the product of the con¬flict between Russia and theU.S.A., its purpose being to estab¬lish American hegemony over theforeign policies of the WesternEuropean nations.Many students and facultymembers took part in the publicdi.<<cussion.The SPU committee will meet at4 p.m. tomorrow in Classics 18 todiscu.ss plans for next quarter’sactivities.

Taft ForeseesNo War in Near FutureBy CURT CRAWFORD(A reporter’s success is propor¬tional to the efficiency with whichhe imposes on someone’s privacy.)Last Monday we barged in on Mr.Charles P. Taft, brother of RobertTaft, and the Sinai Temple Forumlecturer, just in time to preventany relaxation in the half hourbefore his speech on “The HighCost of Living.”Mr. Taft rates an audience froma successful career as lawyer, Cin-cinatti reform politician, and war¬time Washington administrator.As must always be noted, he has afather who was president, and abrother who would beTurning from a reunion-chatwith a World War I comrade, Taftsaw no immediate likelihood ofWorld War III. With careful andmatter of fact opinion he assertedneither Russia nor the U. S. desireswar, and Russia is far too weakto fight.He pointed to the deliberate cal¬culated devastation of Russian landresources, notably the Ukrainian“breadbasket.” Soviet transporta¬tion, never adequate, has sufferedimmense damage, and althoughmanpower is being steadily re¬placed, wars are fought withmasses of troops.

TAFTcasting was strictly temporary:“Ten years from now anythingcan happen.”He claims his experience indi¬cates that fear of an atom warwill not preserve peace. The com¬mon reaction seemed to be either:“It’ll get everyone else, and Imight as well go, too,” or: “Itwon’t get me.”Regarding proposals of recon¬ciliation with the USSR now thatthe cold war seems won, Taft waspractical. A German settlementcan be delayed no longer, and ifRussia stands against agreementamong France, Britain, and theU.S., we must go ahead withouther.A pervading “faith in people,”and a disposition to “get at thefacts” are perhaps the kevs toTaft’s thinking on world prob¬lems. He has the politician’s scornfor the armchair theorist and likesto test high-sounding generaliza¬tions against his administrativeexperience.For example, Ricardo’s exclu¬sively money-mad “economic man”Do you buy #50 shirts?^35 neckties?if so—read no furtherIf you want VALUE, QUALITY and AMERICA’!FAVORITE COLLEGE STYLES . . ,Ok^^ASK FOR ARROWS^*Shirts from $3.25Ties ” 1.00Shorts ” 1.00Undershirts ” .85Sports shirts ** 4.25Handkerchiefs .... ** .35Ijyttoii^s—ARROW SHORTS- is invalidated by labor relationsexperience with workers who oftenprefer congenial industrial sur¬roundings to higher pay. Exten¬sive national planning is rejectedin the light of the struggles andshortcomings of resources alloca¬tions in the War Production Board.“This was just a small-scale pre¬view of the absurdities and inef¬ficiencies of extensive planning for140 million people.”Lack AdministratorsShort-run policies were alsoviewed in terms of administrativepracticality. Marshall Plan aid tohungry Italy and France is neces¬sary, but the expierts required toexecute such a program are want¬ing, The job needs all-aroundtraining in economics, engineer¬ing, and political skills, plus athorough understanding of thepeoples involved. Without men ofthis calibre to direct on-the-spotoperation,the Plan may fail to doanything but waste money.OPA, though effective in war¬time, probably lacks the popularbacking essential to reinstat<iment.Wage and price control, enthusias¬tically greeted by black - marketevasion, might lead to police-stateenforcement methods alien to ourfree society.Taft sees more than adminis¬trative problems. He knows theCommunist assumption tha»^ oursystem must collapse, and is wor¬ried about the necessity to stabil¬ize our economy. He’s furtherpuzzled by the fact that full em¬ployment seems to thrive in theU.S. only on disastrously risingprices.Domestic AffairsWhich is not to say that adomestic program was absent fromhis approach to “The High Cost ofLiving.” He maintained that min¬imum wages, higher unemploy¬ment compensation, public works,stimulation of private investmentshould be encouraged by appro¬priate incentives. More can bedone in controlling consumercredit, guaranteeing annual wages,and municipal planning.We’ll leave the comparison be¬tween father and son as to politi¬cal theory and personality to thosebetter versed in American history,but of course we couldn’t helpnoting the difference in physiquepresented by the much sparer,well-built son. Contrasting of thetwo occurs in almost every intro¬ductory speech, usually to the ef¬fect that the son’s importance isquite independent of any reflect¬ed glory.B-J Dance FridayDick Collins and his “CampusKings” are slated to perform at theB-J Council dance this Friday.Collins, a Noyes Box favorite,promises soothing rhythms forexam-jangled nerves.Refreshments are to be providedby Miss Smith, B-J dietician.ARE YOU SHOPPINGFORAXMAS GIFT?Why nof pay me a visit?ALEXANDER KOWERYour Watchmakerand JewelerWatches - DiamandsPens - Pins - CharmsSpecial Order for Frat Pinsand RingsWotch and JewelryRepairingBring Thist Ad in for aS% DiscountYOU'LL FIND ME IN THEPITTSFIELD BLDG.ROOM 175055 E.

Northwestern, hit upon ourrejection of NSA.” From the Daily Northwestern, Novem¬ber 25.Well, much as we quiver and shake a^the above charge,we’re afraid that we are “groping around’’ again. This time,however, we feel better about it, because this same editorialsaid, “We don’t mind constructive criticsm, but pointlessderogation disgusts us.” We think that we have some “con¬structive criticism.”This week’s New Republic has an article in it by BruceBliven on “Discrimination in Education.” Bliven was con¬cerned only with anti-semitism in his survey, and he foundthat Northwestern has one of the medical schools in thecountry “which are generally reported to keep down theproportion of Jewish students in substantial degree” andis also one of the 15 American colleges which have “en¬rolled conspicuously small proportions of Jews.”Northwestern students may also notice, if they takethe trouble to read the article, that the University of Chi¬cago medical school is also mentioned as having apparentdiscriminatory codes, “but in a lesser degree.” On page 7of this same issue of the New Republic and in today’s storiesrelating what the students here are doing to eliminate thisdiscrimination.We hope that the students at Evanston won’t con¬sider this criticism as “pointless derogation.” When a na¬tional magazine places one’s school in the forefront ofthose institutions which practice religious discrimination,we don’t think that it’s anything to be proud of. On thecontrary, it obligates the students to take immediate ac¬tion to see that these practices are eradicated.ApologyThis is an apology to those students who have writtenletters to the Mi^ROON, but who have not seen them inprint. Space limitations have prevented us from runningall the letters we have received.Readers might be interested to know that thesubjectwhich caused the greatest amount of letter-writing thisquarter is the International Union of Students, with letters,both pro and con, still arriving.Other topics which have proved popular are: Pulse, Uni¬versity Theatre, Student Government, MAROON, and How¬ard Kaminsky.Letters To The EditorTo the Editor of the Maroon.:In your preoccupation with so¬cial injustice at Billings, you seemto have forgotten your duty to thetruth.

Indeed, theyhave several times opposed actionfor action’s sake, like the abortivesquatters’ movement suggested lastyear by several AVC members.Here, however, is a clear case inwhich all the avenues of modera¬tion have been exhausted, whenall the channels have been gonethrough. Jack Geiger, Karl Zer-foss, and their committee spentmany months seeing all the prop¬ er Jiiuiviuuaia, uvfeuiiiciii/iiiKcase, being as “moderate” as pos¬sible, Ultimately, they managed aninterview with the Chancellor—only to be informed that an ad¬mittedly bad policy could not bechanged too fast. What is “toofast?”A “walkout” ... it was really astreet meeting, not a walkout orstrike . . . may perhaps not haveimmediate results. Admittedly, itdoes not in itself bring about anend to discrimination. Admittedlyit creates unpleasantness. But theonly way to end “unpleasantness”—if discrimination can be so politelydescribed—unfortunately, may beto force unpleasantness to a head. . . both for those opposing dis¬crimination and for those hesitantto take immediate action Mostsocial change, this writer seems tohave heard, comes about throughsuffering. But must it always bethe unaccepted minority who suf¬fers?What could possibly have beenthe unfortunate results of such awalkout? If this were Columbus,Georgia, say, the walkout mightbe inadvisable on the grounds ofpossible violence; in other con¬ceivable situations, it might, domore harm than good. Here, how¬ever, we have no one but ourseivesto fear; even the Tribune can callus nothing they have not calledus before.It is significant that this issuehals created more interest amongthe students than any other po¬litical issue for years.

That is. to what extent has a biographicalfilm dispensation to fit its hero’slife into an imaginative mold?Simple biography is nothingmore than expository reporting, arealism which excludes art (thecreative process) from its list ofvirtues and methods. Since iheP'arrel-Dreiser era, when unwaver¬ing realism was tested, it has beenconceded that the artist’s functionis, because of his superior insightinto reality, to convey cogently tohis audience, the deeper meaningunderlying the factual, which histalent allows him to perceive.The film is an art form whichcould be argued to posses thegreatest artistic potential becauseit synthesizes the other arts and,in addition, removes many of thetechnical barriers which restrictthem.Therefore, “The Immortal Moz¬art” (and “The Life and Loves ofBeethoven,” etc.) has a perfectright to deviate from strict biog¬raphy if it does so for an authenticartistic purpose. This film, unfor¬tunately, abuses its right.Mozart is represented as a play¬ful youth, not much interested inmusic, who wrote little besidesopera scores <and by implication,their librettos, also), and instinc¬tively liked, the music of the stillstruggling Beethoven. And worstof all, crowned his artistic careerwith that great, autobiographicalopera, “Don Giovanni.”As might be expected, the maud¬lin heights the film reaches arecomparable to Hollywood’s stand¬ard. (The film is German.) Whathurts most is the realization ofwhat the film might have been—the opportunity of co-ordinatingthe man with his music. One thingwas accomplished: the co-ordina¬tion of the story with the music.Mozart’s .compositions were usedthroughout; and, considering thebias for opera, tastefully. By wayof a favorable criticism, I mightadd that the acting was hardlynoticeable.This film will be thoroughly en¬joyed by the Mozart cultists (wholike to whistle the pretty tunes)and the music in its dramatic con¬text will, I think, thrill even themost discriminating Mozart lover.Credit to the Co-ed Theaterwhich, although it is almost anhour’s ride on the "El” from cam¬pus, offers many infrequentlyshown, worthwhile films and, con¬sidering the lack of good theatersin Chicago, is deserving of stu- 'denb support.U’lIVTEII-TEX.EAEI.E andoihrr nationallyadx'rliwrd brandwHere ore coats that are a wonderfulnew experience in comfort—so soft and light,but with such amazing warmth!
