News: DICK YOUNG For This Issue: Sports: HARRY HOLLINGSWORTH Let The Campus Be Served It is time to bring to an end all this talk about the International Relations club and the Carolina Political union invading the sphere of activity of- each other. During the fall quarter the campus has seen the rising IRC star, threaten to out-twinkle the CPU, while the CPU has moved in the direction of compromise and demarcation of function. But as the Daily Tar Heel sees it and it professes to have the support of disinterested students who think about the matter the International Relations club should remove itself from the field of sponsoring visiting speakers. We enumerate these reasons: 1. The IRC so far has done nothing but imitate what the CPU has been doing for several years. The IRC claims to sponsor addresses on interna tional affairs, but the CPU, with such spokesmen as Roosevelt, Troyan ovsky, Dieckofif, Muste, and Wheeler, has been giving us the international picture for years. If the organizations attempt to draw a line between na tional and international speakers, they will run, into unceasing difficulty. If the IRC took international figures, the CPU .national speakers, who would sponsor: LaGuardia, mayor of New York and chairman of the Canadian American defense commission; or Lindbergh; or the chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee; or Jesse Jones, whose RFC is now national and international? Demarcation is impossible in innumerable instances. 2. The CPU has done its job weU. It has attempted to bring to the campus speakers of every shade of opinion on social, political and economic ques tions. A single organization as the CPU has proved in the past four years can bring to Chapel Hill the outstanding spokesmen of every field. 3. There is not enough money available to finance two organizations which perform the same function. The Debate council, Grail, Graham Me morial, and classes have been chief contributors to the CPU. It is impos sible for them to give to the CPU what they have been donating and at the same time duplicate these gifts for the IRC. If they do what they, inevit ably must under existing circumstances split the old donation between the two they will be strangling both. 4. Competition hurts the national reputation of the CPU, the IRC and the University. If notables are under pressure from both groups to make ap pearances here, they are likely to decline both in order to avoid unpleasant ness. At the same time, they lower their estimation of' student agencies which compete in the way they now are. Though it rides the crest of a wave, the IRC should now announce that after the fall quarter it will withdraw from the field. We suggest that it return, to a field it has previously occupied, that of interpreting to the campus the international affairs which affect America. There is a moral obligation on the IRC to stop its imitation. It should change its policy before the campus finds itself submerged with speakers for other possible imitators: the North Carolina club, the Pan-American club, the Ypung Democrats and the Young Republicans. The CPU has served until this year; it can continue to do so. Like in public utilities electric, water and telephone systems-the existence of competition is not for the public good. Duplication only leads to waste and inconvenience, whether in servicing a community with telephones or in supplying it authori tative speeches. The student body will be served by the withdrawal of the IRC from competition. D.

You want to be told why Democracy is better than Fascism? The answer is all about you if you will but look and allow yourself to seel Under Fascism your editorial would be impossible. But aside from that Why not read Hitler's "Mein STUDENT PARTY (Continued from first page) a smaller so that efficient work can be done without the necessity of smaller closed 'steering committee meetings. There will also be two delegates from every dormitory, elected by its resi dents, and six delegates elected by town students. All members will be elected this week. "When nominations begin next spring, we will consider as many names as possible for each, office and stu dents will be encouraged to instruct their delegates how they want them to vote. "Only in this way will the conven tion be genuinely democratic and truly in the hands of the students." Kampf and compare it with the Constitution of the U. S.? Or perhaps you would like some one to summarize them for you? Or do. you feel that reading the Con stitution is a form of flag-waving! Why not compare the structure and theory of the Nazi government with that of the U. S.? Why not compare the world - out look of Fascism with that of Democ racy? In brief, why not use that reason which you desire should be "impos ed" in place of "emotionality"? Or is it easier to accuse anyone who says "Democracy is better than Fascism, because ..." of flag-waving? Why not make an effort to evalu ate Democracy and Fascism? Or do you fear that will be flag-waving? Yours truly, Louis O. Kattsoff I 1 kA C 'MCI -All! POLITICS Understanding 'There are none so blind as they who will not see." The Daily Tar Heel is chid ed today in the letter column by-Dr. Louis Kattsoff, for an editorial written several days ago on "Less Flag-Waving." We are unable to under stand Dr. KattsofFs implica tion that we will not "allow" ourselves "to see." The edi torial was written in an ef fort to induce more people to see, to take democracy on the basis of reason rather than emotionality. If democracy in America is to succeed (and DTH editor ials have consistently ex pressed that faith), the de fense of democracy should rest with well-informed and reasonable people. It is not enough, as in totalitarian na tions, to ask the people to fol low shut-eyed. Until we real ize the spiritual values inher ent in our system, we will not be the best possible Demo crats. The editorial asked simply - that emotionality be replaced by reason, in order for Americans to fully ap preciate democracy: "The time is pertinent for Americans to have faith in de mocracy. Faith has never been needed so badly as today, when democracy is in danger of being displaced by fascism. If (Continued from first page) not only to do that, but to keep the class well informed on the business to be discussed. The motto Hide with Carr' is no longer a political heading, but an obligation to my class." The new officers are E. K. Powe, president from Durham; Hanson Hall, vice-president from Atlanta, Ga.; Mike Carr, secretary from Rocky Mount; and Fred Rutledge, treasurer from Asheville. The Student legisla ture representatives are Terrell Web ster from Gastonia, John Hackney from Wilson, and Ray Goodman from Williams ton. our chosen way of life is to be perpetuated, a belief in what we have chosen is first neces sary." Belief comes through under standing. Although we regret Dr. Kattsoff wrongly inter preted our editorial, we hope his letter will bring . some of that knowledge which igno rant and professional patriot ism have thus far excluded.

A fellow we know is afraid he has it all figured out, and frankly he doesn't like the answer. It tells him that America will go marching off pretty soon to mop up the enemy in Eu- will be another fight to the finish and another vic tory in name only and another treaty based on fear; that there will Je another peace, another depression, a n- other armament race and then by 1960, perhaps, another war. After wards peace again peace from ex haustion, "and because there will have been a destruction great enough to threaten their very existence, men everywhere will work toward erecting a new order for the world, one excluding war. So that's all there is to it." Just wait around till I960. The fellow we know intends to do that. In the meantime hell join the marching feet and forget to think, only hop ing a shell .hasn't got his name on it, only hoping he can hang around till 1960 comes bounding over the horizon. That's the way a fellow we know has it figured out, and he's pretty darn sure about it too. He's pretty darn sure that nothing he could do would make much differ ence although he would like to see another way out. He feels pretty small in the mad chaotic rush. He ' surges along with the others. He accepts what looks like the inevit able. ' This fellow we know sits on a streetcar in Los Angeles. He sees Gable kiss Lamarr in the Nemo theater in Dayton, O. He reads his newspaper in an office in Salt Lake City. He watches the sunset from his front porch in Baton Rouge. This fellow we know is on the street corner of America and as an indi vidual he wants to rebel against these tramping feet but as a mem ber of the group he sees no logical alternative. And because it is the ancient cus tom, to fight fire with fire, he finds growing up around him a facsimile of the thing they have over there, an image that most go to every ex treme to wipe that thing over there forever from the earth. And as be fore that will be the rallying cry because men need a noble incentive before they can fight with their hearts. The man cn the street , corner will be asked to fight fqree with force, to erase force forever from the earth with force. And be cause there appears no other real istic way to cope with pressing necessity, that is the way he will finally try to do it. To ease his mind they will intend to be fair and just with the enemy this time. That is the lesson of the last war, they will say; That is where we will succeed when they failed. But when there is an armistice cf war, there will be no armistice of hate. People at home whose sons have not returned will not have seen German sons as beloved and human as their own. They will be only full of grief and insecurity and confusion and they will say "On to Berlin," and they will sow bitter seeds of hate again in trying to erase forever the very instrument they utilize. They will be sick of blood and death and they will de sire peace and security, and having been so' long a part of the force machine, they will see no other way to get peace and security save through force. Somebody's sons will reap that new crop of hatred And thus the old cycle rolls around until the fellows on the street corners of America and the world find themselves suddenly fallen into the gutter of degradation and exhaustion. Only then will the fellow we know find that force is dead. Only then will the hope of lasting peace find opportunity to . spring up from the earth. Only then will everybody realize that all this peace could have been reality in 1940 if somebody had only known, ' if these street corner fellows had found something to , make them able to turn away from the crowd in those darkening days before Americans went over there again.
