The picture is laid on a college campus, derides sincere student anti-war rallies and behind a foul smoke screen of "Americanism," attacks the right of free speech by students and professors But let us quote Andre Senniiald's review in the sedate and painfully non-partisan Times: "The mood of the Min becomes clear in the first scene, which shows Amer.the radical student, making a campus speech. 'What's a proletariat?' inquires one of the listening college men .to his chum. 'You got me,' the friend replies, 'l'll take vanilla.' The photoplay re peatedly uses this device of ridiculing political discus sion as such; not revolutionary thought, but discission by college students of the economyof the world in which they live. "In the attractive person of Mr. Young we discover that being a soldier is lots of fun, the only drawback being that he gets tired for a good war to break out." Robert Young, the handsothe young soldier hero'of this deluge of Hearstianisin, is convincing the heivine that this opposition to War is a lot of rot. He Bays: "You aren't kidding me. You ai•en'tits red as You make out. You're just shooting off your face to thOSe long hairs because you haven't found Out yet what you want. You're not such a heavy thinker. Do you know how I know? Because a thinker is a dodo on a 'donee floor and you aren't . . . " This should be a cruel blow to the intelligent girls on this campus, to find out that you cannot think and be attractive at the same time. The Times reviewer again: "Just now, when all high-spirited Americans are endorsing the President of the United States in his determination to keep this coun try free of war hysteria, a picture like "Red Salute" can work immeasurable evil by romanticising the Martial spirit. The film is so obviously propagandizing for the Ameriminism of the patrioteer and the zealot that . it is well for the judicious to get out of the way." This picture was announced as showing here this Saturday, but through the efforts of the local manager, Mr. J. K. Robertson, the booking here has been canceled. The COLLEGIAN congratulates Mr. Robertson upon his backing.of student sentiment in this Matter and in aid ing the fight of the college students of America infight ing the lies of William Randolph Hearst and other fascist propagandists. College students all over the country have present ed a united front of protest agairist - this Collection of cheap Hollywood lies. Students will not be lied about or kidded out of their opposition against war, and the picket lines in front of theatres showing "Red Salute" in college towns throughout the country have shown the, movie makers that they had better stick to romance in stead of Flearstian lies about undergraduates. OUR ANSWER In the Letterbox on this page will be found a letter criticizing . the COLLEGIAN for its edkerial policy for the thirty-three years of its existence and'aecusing the COL-. LEGIAN of ignoring the recent trends of national and international events. • If Mr. Katz would care to see the COLLEGIAN files for the thirty-three years of its existence, he would probably change his opening statement. However, a great deal of what Mr. Katz states 'is true, much to the COLLEGIAN'S regret. Last year's COLLEGIAN did not mention the famed Chaco War. And so far thtist year, the - editorials of the COLLEGIAN have dealt with 'purely local situations. Mr. Katz remarks that upon the day that Italy invaded Ethiopia the COLLEGIAN cari•led a single editor ial, and thnt on . beer. However, beer and its retention locally are very important to undergraduates just 'now and 'it is only through fighting oppression in a tangible•way, such as in the local beer quorum, rather than taking 'Shots 'at intangibles 'such as the possibility'of world war, can'the OLD MANIA . . ..

Therefore, willingly or not, the COL LEGIAN is faced with the problem of publishing national news side by side with the sectarian news of the Col lege and the town. What has been the answer of the COLLEGIAN - to this prob lem? A sterile test tube has been the answer. The COLLEGIAN might just as well be labeled C. P. (Chemically Pure) to signify thatno foreign mat ter is contaminating the system of the tube. • For some time back a real war has been raging in South America—the Chaco War—partially :financed by American and partially by Great Britain, or rather by the imperiol ists Of these countries, in which tens of thousands of soldier's were killedfl I can't recall having read even once of this war in last year's COLLEGIAN.
