The as ton i sh ing support t h a t the

repeal bill received in the Senate

cannot help but call out the anali t i -

cal in us — even if it is a m a t t e r

of naive g y r a t i o n s in befuddled

bra ins . We have a yen to know

jus t why the admin i s t ra t ion ' s neu-

t r a l i t y p rog ram received all this

unlooked-for suppor t .

It is common knowledge t h a t in

la te weeks Pres ident Roosevelt has

had difficulty in ge t t ing any of his

m e a s u r e s p a s t a big block of

s to rmy Democra ts in the Senate ,

to say nothing of the Republicans

who, of a necessity, have held a re-

ac t ionary position. Why then , this

sudden change toward an adminis-

t ra t ive policy? 1 haven't read all

there is to read on the subjec t and

1 can ' t pretend to know very much

about the whole th ing — but on the

face of it, it looks to me as if Nye

and Borah have failed to make a

political issue out of our foreign

policy. I think we may thank God

for t ha t .

C H A N G E MADK WITH

A L T R U I S T I C MOTIVES

Now, then, was it big business

that dictated the vote or was it

the a l t ru is t ic mot iva t ions of de-m o c r a c y - c o n s c i o u s l eg i s la to rs? 1

really choose to believe in th is in-

stance that it was the la t te r . 1 am

enough of an idealist (or soim

other comparab ly d i spa rag ing ad-

ject ive) to believe that the con-

gressmen feel t h a t it is America'.1-

duty to at last come to the s tand-

ards of world democracy.

N E W BILL F I L F I L L S

I . S. O B L I G A T I O N S

Unfo r tuna t e ly the quip, " w a r to

save democracy," used to such ill

etfect in 1!)18 has soured us on

any pro-democrat ic feel ing. We

have welched on our promises to

Ethiopia in the Kellogg i 'act which

guaran teed the in tegr i ty of all f ree

s ta tes on the E a s t e r n Hemisphere .

We have welched on the Chinese in

our obl igat ions to them in the Nine

Power Trea ty . F inal ly , we seem

agreed tha t we will lend our aid

in keeping the f r o n t i e r of Fascism

along the Rhine r a t h e r than on the

Rio Grande or on the St. Lawrence.

R E P E A L WILL NOT

INVOLVE I S IN C O N F L K T

I can ' t see t ha t our policy will

b r ing us war any sooner t han the

defeated provisions of the p resen t

Neu t ra l i t y Bill. In fac t , 1 can ' t see

t ha t the war can involve us at any

t ime — perhaps the column this

week ought to be captioned "1

Can t See It." Germany , a l though

reckless and da r ing , cannot pos-

sibly afford to have the United

S ta tes pitted a g a i n s t her. You will

remember that in the last wa r Ger-

many became viciously heedless of

American sympa thy only a f t e r her

a r m y was knocking at the ga t e s of

Paris . In a defens ive war ( the kind

tha t Germany has chosen to fight,

f rom all indicat ions) she will never

have this a t t i tude . We can cite the

Flint incident as an indication of

her policy. At any rate. 1 choose

to look upon the Senate ' s action as

a fa i r , high-minded feel ing of obli-gation — not to minimize our own

ga ins and business ' gains in the

repeal .

The selection was made difficult by the la rge number of ou t s tand ing

Laurels to Those In Charge If the work and planning that the Student Council's Home-

coming committees h'lve put into this week-end's festivities be any criterion of their success, the 1939 Homecoming will really be "bigger and better than ever," Limited in funds, bui unlimited in ideas, the several committees have prepared a fine celebration program into which we hope every campus group will throw its full enthusiasm.

Especially commendable has been the mailing of Home coming announcements to some three thousand alumni. Foi several years in the past we hare, found ourselves in tin peculiar position of celebrating a Homecoming to which feu come home. There was little point in scattering "Welcome Alumni" signs around the campus to greet alumni who didn't even know there was a Homecoming. But with the mailing of Homecoming announcements to the old grads, this unique paradox has been mollified. At least the alumni will be in-formed of the fact that we are sponsoring their Homecoming

o

W h y No t Something New? Certainly no human being can be indifferent to the high-

handed immorality of Germany's systematic rape of Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. As her reign of terror has spread, it has become increasingly difficult to tolerate the inhum inity of totalitarianism. The burning issue before the irorld, now. is: How shall we deal with such an outlaw!

Our Congress has given one answer to that question this week, by repealing the arms embargo; meet force with force. This answer! — in the face of the bitter fact which h is been demonstrated again and again: tear is the very quintessence of futility. We have KILLED to make men free, and LIVED to see worse tyrannies and more menacing dictatorships. Even in the few times of the past when war has been waged for "justifiable ends," the means have corrupted those ends. The Treaty of Versailles was the natural result of four yean of terror, lust and murder.

But, there is an increasing number of people who have a different answer to the above question than th'it which Con-gress gave. Their answer is to meet force with resistance — but, NOW-VIOLENT resistance. Theirs is the method of en-lightened police power, not the method of the army. Thrii method is represented by the World Court, not by standing armies. Police are non-partisan instruments of law enforce-ment, while armies are ex-parte contestants. Police seek out the real offender and hail him into a trial nnrked by ar, atmosphere of judicial calm; armies seldom deal with the real offenders and their treatment of ihnocent civilians, women and children nothing short of the lyasest brutality.

And this ever increasing group of peacelovers does not stop here. It has an answer to the present problem. America must nlly all the deinocratic countries of the world. A union of the democracies, with their overwhelming majority of the world's vital resources, could, by refusing to cooperate with the aggressor, render it incapablr of aggression. Diplomatic, financial and economic pressure could be brought to bear. The embargo and the boycott of exports would prove far more effective and much less costly than the present method.

Congress has condoned violence by its action. That method cost a total of ten million lives in the World War. If France and England had adopted a policy of non-violent non-cooper-ation, in league with the rest of the peace-loving nations of the world, not a fraction of that number would have perished. Collective SECURITY LIES ALWAYS BETWEEN US. Armaments create only fears and suspicions about security, banishing trust and security. The world has tried war for a long time. IT IS TIME WE TRIED SOMETHING ELSE.

Frogs are the beleaguered sub-jects in Advanced Physiology these

days, as the " lab boys" shock them with electrical st imuli . The muscles are lifted out and placed between two wires through which passes a current . The reaction is registered

on a graph , which then enables the technician to find out how much "kick" there is in the animal.

O N M O N R O E D O C T R I N E Not long a f t ^ r the E m b a r g o Act and the W a r of 1812, P res iden t

Monroe issued his f a m o u s doct r ine . From it, we have largely d r a w n by

impl ica t ion our p r e s e n t day concepts of isolat ion, ou r p r e s e n t d a y

concepts of n e u t r a l i t y . The sum and subs t ance of the doc t r ine in sho r t w a s tha t Amer i ca

should not meddle in the a f f a i r s of E u r o p e and in the same m a n n e r

E u r o p e was i n fo rmed t h a t she should not meddle in with the a f f a i r s

of the na t ions compr i s ing in the Wes te rn Hemisphe re .

advoca t e a policy of " a r m e d n e u t r a l i t y " which would have p e i m i t t e d

t h e a r m i n g of Amer i can m e r c h a n t m e n . T h e P r e s i d e n t ' s bill was d e f e a t e d

Though we came out of the w a r as a v ic tor we, never the less , su f fe red

"If you tell me that this war is fought for the integrity of interna-

not also against England — If you say that it is fought in vindication

of our national honor, I must ask you why no harm has come to the

honor of Holland and Scandinavia — If you say that this war is a life

and death struggle for the pres( rration of cirilhation against barba-

raped, and were at last aroused to action, not by the cries of the stricken

abroad, but by our own losses in men and money."
