Phone 292-W FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1933 WAR AND THE COLLEGE MAN College men today are rejecting war. Following the lead of the Oxford Union which voted against fight ing for king and country, college newspapers all over the United Stales are urging definite expression of stu dent opinion against war. Young men are beginning to realize the futility of sacrificing their lives to a method which has never settled anything definitely, but which has always given rise to a host of new troubles. Con sequently, they are going to think twice before bending to the emotionalism of the flag wavers. Nothing can better illustrate this attitude than the following excerpts taken from recent editorials in college newspapers: “Young men in England and this country are serving notice that they desire no part in the greed that starts a war and the stupidity that tolerates it. “Since the Oxford Union voted nearly two to one for the resolution that, ‘This house will in no circum stances fight for its king and country,' a wave of student sentiment has swept British campuses and made, itself felt on this side of the Atlantic as well . . . .” “There is no misunderstanding the importance of a step such as this at such a university. It is a sign that young men have better use for their lives than to yield them up to agonizing deaths in muddy trenches. The men who passed these resolutions are not cowards; it took courago to take their stand.” —-Southern California Daily Trojan “ . . . . There is no sane reason for war. All dis putes can be settled peaceably. Moreover, all must be settled in- that fashion if our civilization is to survive .... War is an insult to the college youth of the world. Now is the time certainly for definite expression of stu dent opinion. When the guns begin to fire it will be 100 late.” —Wisconsin Daily Cardinal “American college men cannot stop another Euro pean war, but it is in their power to prevent a repetition .of the fatal mistake of 1917. As thinking people, they must combat the middle-aged propagandists who are ready and anxious to excite war hysteria on the slightest provocation .... “After all,- it is we here at college who will be sent into the next war. It is we who are going to take the chance of losing our limbs, even our lives, when we have waited for upwards of twenty years to take our place in the world. Under the circumstances, it seems as though we should have some say in the matter . . . , ” , jb —Brown Daily Herald “What is needed is an organization of practical pacifists who will stand with the English students in the declaration that under no circumstances whatsoever will they consent to be swept into a war .... “When a movement of practical pacifism does arise, the university should be the first, and not the last, in its ranks.” —Colorado Silver and Gold “ They (the students) should declare in sten torian tones their opposition to war. Such a threat can aid in eliminating war as a means of settling inter national disputes.” “ . . . . Whereas objections to former wars were raised on moral and religious grounds, the present can vass is a plea to end militarism solely because it is threatening the very existence of our civilization. If the young men of the country who have always -been the indispensable victims of every war refuse to bear arms, the government will have to consider more carefully any action that may lead to international conflict.” —Cornell Daily Sun AT FIRES Some people may consider it humorous when the fire-fighting of the local volunteer fire company is booed by student onlookers. It is not enough to point out that such conduct has given the student body a “black name” with many townspeople. As State College’s only protection against fire, the volunteer company has served its purpose well. Fire losses in the past several years have been slight. Consequently, insurance rates in this town are comparatively low,- and fraternity men, in particular are the beneficiaries. It seems strange, then, that students should openly ridicule those men who would willingly protect their property against fire. It only emphasizes tho immaturity of some of those who profess to be of college age. Prof. R. Adams Dutcher barged into the local post office the other day intent on mailing for prac tically nothing a package which he could hardly push through the window. Whereupon' the postmasfer mused, “Hm, sealed. It will have to go first-class.” “Horrors,” R. Adams thought realizing the ex tent to which the bill would amount, and quickly snatching the package'to break the seal. “I want it to go fourth class, dutclier know.” —Minnesota Daily “What’s'in it?” the keeper of the scales asked, thinking of the honor of the postal department. . “Just photographs with some hand-printed ex planations at the bottom of each one,” the professor responded. • . . , “Eh Gadzukes,” the P. M. started. •. “Handwriting that touches the inside of packages can never touch mine fourth class.” -And no amount of arguing could change his status* and the bill totalled $2.78. Stoddart and Baldinger wait for three hours to speak on honors course system to convention students .... and no one shows up .... Some stranger stalked into the Sigmanu A. C. last week and wanted to know if it was the county home .... Bill Moorehouse and Virginia Wild should arrange to put'on their little act somewhere else except the front window at the Chi 0 house .... as was the case Tuesday afternoon when chem labbers brushed up on technique by watch ing the pair from a Pond lab window ....

The small son of one of Penn State’s distinguished rhetoricians has at last offered a solu tion to the problem. The portly PhiKT caterer was ambling his way Locust Laneward recently when a small boy tripped him with the following words: “Say, do you know who I am?” “No,” he answered, amazed at such brazenness. “I’m Theodore Gates jr. You must have taken some courses from my daddy. -He’s a big man around “Yeah, I took a lot from him,” was the muttered “Do you know Mr. Espenshade, -Mr. Wood and Mr. Kirby?” the boy queried of the puzzled,student, who had heard tales of the infamous trio. /‘They’re all out at my house now playing poker.

Woth Englpnd and the United States presenting a united front at the world economic conference on June 15, we wonder what the future of the gold standard in other countries will be. Roosevelt and MacDonald agreed upon a six-point program for the con ference. It includes: the removal of trade barriers, such as tariffs,- quotas, and exchange restrictions; concerted action by central banks to provide credit expansion; stimulation of en terprise with governments supplying largo capital expenditures; reestab lishment of “equilibrium” in inter national exchanges; creation of a new international monetary standard; and finally, the restoration of silver. The plan of President Roosevelt to ask Congress to suspend the debt pay ments due on June 15 fits in very well with England's new budget recently submitted by Neville Chamberlain. No provision whatsoever has been made in the budget to meet the com ing debt obligations to the United States. Hitler,, it seems, doesn’t like infla tion. It forced him off the front pages of American newspapers. Further inflationary powers were voted to President Roosevelt when the Senate adopted tho JCing-Wheeler amendment permitting the President to coin silver at a 'ratio fixed by him. The administration is now working to suppress the movement for payment of the veterans’ $2,200,000,000 bonus out of the $3,000,000,000 which the President may issue in currency. Passage of the Jdfcter bill would dis rupt F. D, R.’s plans, since his price inflation is to come through rehabili tation of credit ind -stabilization of banking activities/.

Charges are beiijk made in the ranks of the Republicans that Secretary of Labor Perkins’ plan for solving the unemployment problem is too socialis tic in its Extended super vision over-employment policies are necessary if jobs arc, to be created for th’e millions pounding the pavements. Whether socialistic in nature or not, the plan which will solve the problem should be put in practice. Salient points in Miss Perkins' pro posal are: Tff'forbid interstate tran sportation of goods made by workers employed more than six hours a day or thirty hours a week; to establish Federal boards which would fix mini mum wages, for a specified kinds of labor; and to permit the 'Secretary of Labor to order a particular manufac turing plant'to operate only a certain number of hpurs a week. + +' + Redemption of American justice was again temporarily balked when the PROM CORSAGE NEVER TOO LATE TO ORDER A CORSAGE Roses, Peas, Valley, Orchids and Gardenias Make Her Attire Complete State College Floral Shoppe Allen Street Phone 580-J The Fenway Tea Room Home Cooked Meals , y All Kinds of Sandwiches ** i COLLEGE ICE CREAM FOUNTAIN SERVICE The Hub Super Dollar Days V TWO DAYS ONLY Friday and Saturday Exceptional Values On SHQES, MEN’S SUITS, FURNISHINGS AND WOMEN’S READY TO WEAR SEE OUR WINDOWS If You Wish Taxi Service Gall 750 Prom Committee Head Herman C.

LECTURE TUESDAY College Librarian Speaks on ‘John Peter Zenger’ in Fifth Talk Of Annual Addresses Speaking on “John Peter Zenger, Early New York Printer,”. Willard P. Lewis, College librarian, presented the fifth lecture of the Liberal Arts series in the Home Economics auditorium Tuesday night. Zenger, an early American printer, published the New York Weekly Journal, in which he criticized the corrupt policies of the Weekly Ga zette, a paper under the influence of the King of England. After releasing tho first issues of his paper," Zenger was seized by Eng lish authorities and thrown into pris on, under heavy bond. Alexander Hamilton, a young lawyer at the time, was secured to defend Zenger at his trial. Hamilton won, the case, and the printer was acquitted. At the close of the lecture, Mr. Lewis exhibited originals and fac similes of newspapers of the early eighteenth century. He also exhib ited a copy of the New York Times in book form, to be used in the library in the future. Mooney trial which was scheduled for Wednesday was again postponed to May 22. Where miscarraige of jus tice is so evident, and when public opinion is so insistent for a Tetrial, the California courts are to be censured for their laxity of action.
