After this war Germany will
have colonies. There you will have
room enough and opportunity

THEY WANT VIOLENCE,

will keep the United States out OF war.
That fact makes US distru5t the Wis
dom, if not the motives, OF such gentle
men as Carey McWilliams. who until
short time ago was key member OF 1he
Olson state administration.
McWilliamS' own actions gave rise In
the distruSt.
There were 1900 students of the Uni
versity of California at Los Angeles
gathered Friday in the university audi
torium for a Peace Day meeting. They
were there to hear a calm discussion OF
the United States role in world affairs,
in relation to continued peace for TINS
country.
Just off the campus 800 students, Il
distinct minority. milled and shouted
carried banners and made fiery SpeecheS
about economic warlordS' and blood
soaked profits. Their consideration OF
peace for the United States was any
thing but calm. 1t was less than moot
and a holler from a mob demonstration.
McWilliamS was speaker in the unlVef-
sity auditorium But be finished hastily,
rushed over to the vacant lot where the
800 were demonstrating. and assured the
young crackpots:
IL promised them I'd speak al the
other meeting But would rather have
spoken here
He might as we'll have said;
"To blaZeS with this calm cOnsidera-
ton of vital issues ! like mob frenzy

The university regents probably took
il all in good stead. but if we We're in
their places, we'd like to see that Nc
Williams never addresses an audience at
the university again.
A university, when all is said and done,
is supposed to be a place of learning, not
an Incubator for rioting maSS-scale emo
tionS.
Carey McWilliams and others of his
school of thought don't want education
they want bunch of intellectual NOR
ons whose emotions rule their thoughts.
Thank God that McWilliams, like those
800 students, is in the minority.

it was really designed to curb the

About a year ago, Justice De-

THE CREAM OF
MIDWESTERN PEOPLE

Helen Gahagan, actress whose nearest
approach to stark living as it is known
to the average farmer has been role
or two in stage or screen plays dealing
indirectly with highly imaginative in
terpretations of the facts. this week de-
,cribed CaliforniaS migrant workers as
1.-The cream of mid-western people
Like anyone who makes general as
sertion, Miss Gahagan was partly right.
But she was mostly wrong.
Some of the dust bowlers and others
who have come to California in the last
few years are among the best people on
earth. Industrious, thoughtful, conscien-
tious and intelligent.
But there have been others whose sole
thought in coming to this state was that
relief payments in California are bigger,
and the climate better than at home.
The best refutation of Miss Gahagan's
assertion is found in federal statistics,
which show that q ma ority of the MI
grants were not independent farmers in
their own state, but share croppers who
were content year after year to live in
shackS, subsist cheaply and work as lit
tie as possible.
The solution to the migrant problem
will not be found through misrepresen-
tatIon 1t will be found only when we
realize thoroughly that We have two
Jobs instead of one-finding work for
these people, and teaching them inde-
pendence and self-reliance.

An interesting sidelight on the politi-

position members of the legislature are

the resignation of Richard Olson from

A cat may look at a king. But crow

raucous fact, one more crow has cut

Another sort of bird, of course, was

regrets that it could not have been such
a bird that greeted British. German and
Swedish ENJOYS in Washington a day or
SO ago. But the most that can be said
for this one is that it was a perfectly
neutral bird, as apparently derisive in
the presence of one nations emSSary as
in that of another'S.
The most it would say for any Of them
was Cav" POSSIBLY it was something
of a diplomat itself) And it said what
it had to say publicly, right before a
crowd outside the diplomatic entrance
to the State Department, so that its COM

quotations for some White Paper or 9TH

agandist too For it kept on repeating,
as did Poes mesmerc messenger, its one
conclusion without regard to its premise
