Thomas, Sargent Plan
Debate on Subject
Of Liberalism
Two completely • opposite theories
of social and economic existence will
clash in Schwab auditorium ori April
18 when Norman Thomas and Noel
Sargent argue the pros and cons of
socialism and capitalism.
Although both men ' hold degrees
from American universities,' since
their undergraduate days the dicho
tomy separating their viewpoints and
their, beliefs has become more dis
tinct. . At present, these men stand
at the top of two conflicting schools
of thought—liberalism and conserva
tism..
The conservative viewpoint will be
upheld by Mr. Sargent,' secretary and
economist of the National Association
of Manufacturers in New York City.
As an exponent of the capitalistic
system, Mr. Sargent believes that
sound employment relations may be
obtained merely by observing certain
fundamental regulations.

‘Youth of Today
Holds Chance in
Politics’—Ames
Internationalist Thinks
Students Manifest
New Interests
“There is a great chance for the
young man interested in promoting
the good of humanity in politics and
tho diplomatic service today,” Sir
Herbert B. Ames, internationalist, said
in an*interview. “The youth of to
day is manifesting a greater interest
in the social problems confronting us
than he did formerly.”
“If a young man is preparing him
self to lead public opinion, he cer
tainly ought to acquaint himself with
international relations more than he
has been,” the statesman added. “We
are living in an age with unbelievable
dramatic incidents that are remaking
,lhe social patterns of nations.”
“It is unfortunate that more Amer
ican youths do not have a comfortable
I living income that would enable them
-to devote their time to public service,”
the’lecturer explained.
AMES DISCUSSES
‘POLISH CORRIDOR’
Former Canadian Parliament
Member Talks in Schwab
Auditorium Tuesday
“To. dismember .Poland again by
giying-Germany-the Corridor would
be to plunge Europe into a conflict
of wide extension, leaving wounds
that would never heal.”
i Thus Sir Herbert B. Ames sum
marized his lecture on “The Polish
Corridor—Danger Spot of Europe”
given in Schwab auditorium Tuesday
night. Sir Herbert, a member of the
Canadian Parliament for seventeen
years, is the former financial director
of the League of Nations.
Traces Corridor's. History
.Basing his opinion on the present
day conditions of the treaty speci
fying that Poland shall have the Cor
ridor “if no injustice is done” and
“if conditions have not changed,” Siv
Herbert traced the political and econ
omic- history of the territory to prove
that the Corridor is indispensible to
Poland. The small volume of German
trade docs not warrant its return to
that country, he added."
“Should the element among the Ger
man nation which would not hesitate
to resort to force to recover the Cor
ridor, gain the ascendancy and • en-j
deavor to do so, it would, meet with!
desperate resistance,” he continued, j
“It is better to support the instttu-l
tions at Geneva and at the Hague
r whereby justice may be given to both
parties.”
Speaking on “Revision of the Peace
Treaties,” Sir Herbert lectured in the
Auditorium Wednesday night, later
holding an open forum'on internation
al affairs in the Little Theatre in Old
Main.
