suitable if some liberal organization couldsupport this truly peace-promoting aid todemocracy.:If the T.C.A. wonders as to what use to putsome of the funds released from Tech-in-
|Turkey, we can think of no better field thanlthe boys' work they are conducting amonglthe underprivileged children in Greater Bos-
ton. Tech-in-settlement houses is a mission-ary work which will pay immediate divi-dends in the gratitude of the community.
THE SILVER LININGThe I.F.C. Dance Committee has emerged
from a touch 'am at last with its colors fly-ing. Tommy Dorsey will play, even thoughf or the last part of the evening only. TheAndrews Sisters are definitely to exercisetheir combined vocal chords, and a good or-chlestra has been secured for the first portionof the dance.
But this is the second year running thatthe committee has gotten itself into a tightcorner. Something, is wrong somewhere. Thefault this year cannot be put primarily at thedoorstep of the dance comnmittee. They wereroyally double-crossed, to put it mildly. Butexperience should teach the I.F.C. to take
|precautions against such behavior of theagents with whom they deal. It might bewise for them next year to add a good lawyerto the committee.
Contrasts have been drawn between theuneventful legal success of the Junior Prom,and the not-so-uneventful attempts of theI.F.c., but it must be remembered that or-chestras are not so much in demand duringthe time of the year when the Junior Promis held. This is the season when many girlsschools are giving dances in addition to theinnumerable spring festivals of other colleges.
A good deal could be said about themurky behavior of the Music Corporationof America, through which this school getsmost of its contracts for name orchestras;but that would not help. If that agency con-siders such behavior as it has just shown tobe business ethics, then we should be pre-pared to deal with them on that basis, givingthem no advantages.
However, in spite of clouds, the sun of theI.F.C. dance has broken forth to spread anot-inappreciable warmth over the scene.It should be a good dance, well worth goingto.
HOW TO START A WARIn last Friday's issue of this publication,
there was a news article concerning projectedactivities of the United Student Peace Com-mittee, activities endorsed by the TechnologyPeace Federation and the M.I.T. branch ofthe A.S.U.
These activities include condemnation ofthe actions of the fascist nations, efforts tostop the sending of war materials to aggressornations, and support of an adequate defenseprogram for this country.
Such activities are in direct conflict withthe name and assumed intent of such organ-izations for peace.
They encourage conflict, and possibly war,rather than discourage it. TaLing sides hasnever stopped any battle, and groups whichtake sides so violently and unequivocally asdo the organizations referred to above willnever keep us out of war, nor the rest ofthe world. If anything they are probablydoing more to plunge us into the next con-flict than many confessed war propagandaagencies. These organizations are certainlynot aiding the cause of peace by stirring uphatred, and working for material oppositionto any nation, however much harmn that na-tion has done. That is how war is created.
The prime requisite for peace is the estab-lishment of a peace-loving frame of mind inpeople, not the agitation of their bile. Theduty of a group working for peace is -not todecide what nation is right and what nationis wrong, but to try and find the best wayto keep the people of any and all nations outof war. Such efforts are not exercises in tub-thumping and chest-beating, but exercises inapplied diplomacy and clear, calm thinking.

To borrow a phrase from that needle-tongued mistress of wit, Dorothy Parker,VooDoo has again run the gamut of humorfrom A. to B. And now we apologize forhaving mentioned the name of a cleverwriter and Vooloo in the same breath.
The lads managing the All-Tech Carnivalhave been struggling with the problem ofjust how many balloons are necessary todecorate the vast acreage of Walker's ceiling.Apropos of dances in Walker, it has beensuggested that the immense and gloomyspaces of that echoing vault be disguised withcanvas scenery along the walls. It is difficultto conceive of Walker's dining hall con-verted to a small and intimate cabaret, butit might be done.
Lewd snickers among the students makesus think that VooDoo has once morespawned. As usual, its effect has been torevive the high school smut session spirit.
Here is some more poetry that has come inthrough the mail:
The art of soft-soap spreadingIs a thing that palls and stales.But the guy who wields the hammerIs the one who drives the nails.
-Cevelanld Plain Dealer.
You tell 'em kid-You're peaceful and not too hard to please,But the dog that's always scratchingIs the one that has the fleas.

VOX POPULICommendation is due the T.C.A. Cabinet
for their prompt action in suspending the
Tech-in-Turkey plan, during the time beingat least. This prompt recognition of studentopinion should serve to line the students morefirmly in favor of the other services whichthe T.C.A. performs.
The Tech-in-Turkey plan itself is com-mendable, but the time is not suitable to putit in effect. The Tech has pointed out thatthe student body at the present time does notfavor the expenditure of money for main-taining this service. Since it is their contri-butions which help the T.C.A. to operate,there was no reasonable alternative than tosuspend operations for a while. If outsidemeans of support can be Pound to carry onTech-in-Turkey, we heartily hope that itwill be repeated; it would be particularly

DowN to the sea in Ford ships gomillions of tons of shipping. TheFord docks berth one of the largestindustrial fleets in the world.
There are 29 Ford ships inall, including seven seagoing craft,the two largest motorships on theGreat Lakes, barges, tugs and canalboats. They are kept busy bringingraw materials to Ford plants, orcarrying parts or assembled carsoutward-bound,
Ford production methods eliminateall extra handling or storage ofmaterial and parts. Waste motion iswaste money. Useless storage takestime, space, and ties up capital.
So, parts and materials flow in asteady, unstopping stream to andfrom the great Ford plant on theRiver Rouge. Iron ore - much of itdug from Ford mines -and coalfrom Ford mines-come to theRouge in Ford ships.
Ore that reaches the plant Mondaymorning may emerge about 28 hourslater or Tuesday noon as partof a finished car. In its progressfrom earth to automobile it has beenconstantly under way and under con-trol. There is no guesswork.
Ford efficiency begins at the begin-ning. In the end, the surm of thesesavings is passed along to buyers ofFord cars and trucks-in the formof lower price and higher value.
