There is no doubt that it would be unfair to present members of a House to permit other students to use the dining room and library to numbers in excess of the House capacity. It is even more unfair, however, for a group of men who have proved themselves scholastically eligible to be deprived of the many House privileges when sufficient vacancies exist.

The roar goes up, "What about the self-government of industry?", a roar which rather well illustrates the position of the compliance division in the eyes of these gentlemen. There can be no doubt, I think, that the Executive order was the best of the alternatives open to the Administration. To retain the existing state of stagnation would have been politically unwise as well as ethically negligent: the threatened general strike in Milwaukee this Monday is evidence in point. To hand over the balance...
