S. as Sma "Loss or Italian trade by the Unit ed Statics is a cheap price to pay for peace," declared' Prof. Alfred G. Pundt, of the department of 'history and political science. Inaugurating this year's P. S.,C. forum series, in the Home Economics auditorium Thursday night, Professor Pundt discuised the Italo-Ethiopian conflict and its possible implications' Professor Punch opened the discus : sion with a survey of the 'background of the conflict. He pointed out that the strife dated back to 1870, the period of the second great wave of imperialism which swept: Europe. At this time, he said, Italy made its first inroads into East Africa, Boundary disputes; the speaker said; and the confusing terms of a territorial trea ty between the Italians and Menelik, the Ethiopian emperor, led to a brief war. The conflict, he continued, cid-. urinated in the Battle of Aduwa in 1896, in which the Italian army was slaughtered. Again. in 1926, Professor Pundt con tinued, Italy tried to gain economic privileges in Ethiopia, but was block ed 'by the League. Opening a new policy of peaceful penetration, he said, the Italian government concluded a pact of perpetual peace with Ethio pia in 1028.

In order that there will be a ilwo portionate number of men and Women at each class, those participating must sign up for every class. an Trade Loss 11 Price for Peace "There arc two reasons vital to Italy which underlie Italian aggres sion," Professor Pundt said, "Which offer an explanation for 'Mussolini's determination to conquer in face of such .overwhelming world opposition. First, Italy is severely liinited in re sources such us coal, iron, cotton, oil, and wool. These products and vari ous agricultural products form the bulk of. Italy's imports. They ar•e indispensable necessities to the coun try. , Ethiopia is rich in resources' which Italy needs. "Secondly, the doctrine of a fascist state stresses expansion, both in pop ulation and in territory. Fascist ideal ogy maintains that the state must expand and increase its population or stagnate. Italy's population is in creasing so fast that she is faced with the danger of over-population' and its attendant - economic chaos. The high plateau in central Ethiopia offers a suitable place for South Eunopeant to .live. - • In conclusion, the speaker pointed out. that 'the trade between Ethiopia and the United States-is alMost neg ligible,.while the Italian market forms ten, per cent of the American export trade. The danger, he pointed out, lies in 'enforcement of the. League sanctions and a British blockade of Italian ports.

Hutchinson Stresses Worth in Chapel Talk "Who is greater, what constitutes greatness, personal significance and importance?" asked Dr. .Ralph C. Hutchinson, .president of Washington and Jefferson College, in. his chapel address on "Personal Significance" in Schwab auditorium before a large Dad's Day audience Sunday. We want to count, to he of import ance in a sense that we mean some thing to the men and women about us; that our place will be empty when we are gone, the speaker explained. Wealth is wanted not for what it will buy but for the position in society that comes with it, he said. Conse quently, he added, position and auth ority are the only signs in modern society of personal importance. "Most freaks are those with infer iority complexes, desperiaely despair ing of hope of securing significance, who turn to some freakish way or be havior to attract attention which they feel they cannot attract themselves," he said. "There is a desperate fear of insignificance; people think they will not be noticed." So that everyone would have a feel ing of importance the American people founded organizations of every sort, he pointed out. They became dis couraged because their philosophy was wrong; they found the , wrong an swer to the question, he said. "Personal significance of an individ ual depends not upon his relation to organized society and not upon the po sition he holds, but upon what he has within, his knowledge his "relationship to truth and personal relationship to God. If you can go out and add to truth, to the sum total of love, and be in yourself right your life has sig nificance not only in this world but to the universe," the speaker concluded. Repair English Building In order to make the - speech clinic in the English composition building more accessible, extensive repairs are going on.

Mr. Markham, an impressive fi gure dressed entirely in black with long white hair and a beared of the r same color, then gave an interpreta tion of the poem.

This large in crease is the result of botany' being made an elective for Lower Division students. called into existence by Christ and his teachings. "In these three we have the three great artistic movements of the world." When the reporter entered the ho tel lobby, Mr. Markham was writing a letter. After learning that his bus —be called it his Boat—wouldn't leave for about half an hour, the poet con sented to an interview. "I'll be through with my letter in ten minutes, young man," he said. "Until then sit down and meditate upia your virtues. I add to that that every young man ought to have some virtues to meditate upon." Mr. Markham said that a volume of his collected poems would be published for the first time next year. It will contain about a' thousand poems, many of which have 'never appeared before. Among these will be about two hundred epigrams' and. an 800 line ballad, "The Ballad of the Gal lows Bird." Another book of his to be published soon is "The Porgotten Purpose of Jesus." In speaking of it Mr. Mark ham said, "In it I put what I believe to be the purpose Jesus had in the world. It gives a simple and compre hensive interpretation of the New Testament." PRICE FIVE CENTS First - Quarter Safety Gives Only Score In Close Game. Wear Leads Belated Last-Quarter Drive By PHIL HEISLER Displaying a form of football that showed more power and consistency than somewhat pessimistic followers expected, the Nittany Lions roared once again, scoring a safety in the first quarter and holding that slim lead throughout the remainder of a hard fought game, to defeat a fa vored Western Maryland team 2-to-0 before a Dad's Day crowd here Sat urday. The Lions took advantage of the , poor generalship of the Green Ter rors to annex their only score. In the middle of the first quarter, O'Hara attempted a pass to Smith which was intercepted by Jim Brennan, Terror fullback, on his own two yard stripe. It was doubly wrong to intercept the pass at this point since it was State's fourth down and by simply knocking the ball down, Western Maryland would have gotten the ball on their thirteen yard line. With their backs to the wall, Cliff Lathrop attempted a short pass to Brennan from behind his own goal. The charging Nittany line rushed him, causing his pass to fall short and be grounded in the end zone, giving the Lions two points on a. ruled safety. Lion Squad Improved From the time the starting whistle blew the Lion squad was out to show that the Lebandn Valley game could I not be used as a basis of judgment of the team's ability, Silvano pulled out of a, slump, giving a performance that recalled his last season's form, making'consistent gains - on : line bucks. golden 'silk pants and all, just weren't being taken seriously by the Lions. • Ponteearvo and his 2.10 pounds . may have given State plenty of trouble in the boxing ring but the Lions re fused to .recognize him on the grid iron, making repeated attacks through his left tackle position for consistent gains. The much publicized Terror aerial attack failed to mater ialize to any great extent. The Terrors only threatened to score one, when in the third quarter they took the ball on their own thirty one yard line and advanced it to - State's twenty yard stripe on a suc cessive series of line plays. Again the Nittany line tightened and on the fourth down the Terrors made a des pe•ate attempt to overcome the two point lead by trying a placement kick. Brennans kick was short. Rabbit Wear, Ileet-footed back, again lead a last minute attack on the Western Maryland goal. lie alone skirted the ends and plunged off tack le for forty-one yards in this drive. Getting possession of the ball on the Green Terrors thirty-two yard stripe, with eight minutes to play, the Lions (Continued on pogo three) 100 Students Enrolled In New Hillel Coures More than 100 students enrolled for six courses offered by the Hillel Poundation at a meeting held in the Home Economics auditorium on Wed nesday night.
