About The Common Man

Americas greatness is due in no small measure
to immigrants

before Europeans and Africans and Asans came
or were shanghsied TO America We are all mmi-
grants.

United States was reduced to trckle and
under the current legislation only a very few i'm
migrants enter our country
III MAN NEEDS GREATEST NOW
Never was there greater need for opening up our
doors to new immigrants. Two continents have been
devastated by bombing that paid no heed to human
beings and that made no distinction between COM
batant and non-combatant

Unprecedented numbers People in Asia are more
used TO starving. but tens OF millions OF them wil
be even hungrier than ever this year.

"This is very important point.
If at any time you have anyone suf-

When | asked Mr.. Lescot to COM
ment on newspaper articles which
claimed that the recent action by
Secy. of State Stettinius on the Ar
gentine question brought out into
the open, teaming of forces within
the conference to form a Pan
American bloc as against an inter-
national unity program, he indig-

nantly denied any such program
'There is no such thing as bloc
against anything" he declared. 1--WE
are very interested in Pan-Ameri-
can unity.
However there does not exist a
Pan-American bloc as such. There
may arise questions during the con-
ference on which American coun-
tries will take different stands"
Lescot explained his country's
position in voting for the admission
of Fascist Argentina into the con-
ference as follows:
"At Mexico we decided that un-
der certain conditions, Argentina
would be accepted. Argentina full
filled these conditions. She declared
war on Germany. So Haiti and the
other Pan-American nations voted
to accept her.
When | asked him about the fact
that Argentina was we'll known as
a fascist nation, he answered:
"The Pan-American nations have
a strict rule against Intervention in
the internal affairs of a member ma
tion. That non-intervention extends
to even the matter Of investigation
into the internal affairs of a nation.
We haven't the right, therefore, to
consider such matters"
On this presentation of specious
logic Mr.. Lescot closed the inter-
view.

Lansing Has
Survey Made

The department OF public instruc'
ton at Lansing is making sur
vey of schools OF Ypsilanti TO de-
termine the distance that the chll'
dren of the various schools have 20
walk or ride in order to reach
their schools.
The department OF public instruc-
ton is making this survey to de-
termine whether II would not be
feasible for the children TO be
transported iS buses at state ex'
pensc as the children OF rural dis-
tricts.
At Central Elementary School,
1919 children attending the school
live more than one mile, 40 chill
dren live more than two, and TWO
children live more than three miles
from the school. Sixty-two OF the
children living more than one mile
from the school, 2S OF those living
more than two and - course the
two living over three miles rom
the school. are transported in cars.
In the high school there are S5S
students who live more than one
mile from the school, q more than
two miles and IS more than three
miles. Although all OF these chill
dren are in the school district
there seems TO be quite a distance
TO- some OF them to go. The CON
ditlon is practically the same IN
all OF the schools except Harriet

within a one-mile radius.
