PEACE, SPAIN, AND NEUTRALITY IN THE FINAL reckoning it may be found that of the most disastrous results of the war in Spain will be the split which it is causing in the peace movement throughout the.,world. Here on the campus may be heard, if anyone cares to listen, the re- percussions of a conflict that is going on wherever there are peace workers There have been divisions before, but the present one is likely to be irreparable for it involves a differ ence in fundamental philosophies which have taken op posite viewpoints in the Spanish conflict. • The one group consists of those who feel that they should refuse to take part in or aid any sort of war at all. They, oppose giving any sort of aid to the Loyal ist government, even that sort of aid which would go only „to the civilian population. The. others, who term. themselves "realists," are certain that to secure any sort of permanent peace they must join with the forces of democracy throughout the world in an alliance against fascism. Thus such men as Norman Thomas say: "It is un realistic and mad to say that it does not matter who wins in Spain if only the guns are stilled." So long as there is fascisrn'there can be neither world security nor world peace. Therefore this group feels it their duty to. combat fascism and oppose with al their power its ex tension. They advocate actively aiding the Spanish gov ernment and protest against the new American neutral ity legislation which prevents this. But to this argument the pacifist asks the further question: "Shall intelligent Americans seek to build a league of non-fascist states with the objective of check ing fascist aggression, if 'necessary by preventative , war?" What sort of a peace movement is it, they ask, which places its faith upon the forces of war? Thus each side is more adept at criticizing the op position than in defending its own position. Both agree on their objective, keeping America out of war. There is sharp disagreement on the best method of doing this. Again quoting, Thomas: "It is far more feasible for the lovers of peace to try to keep America out of the pur suit of war profits and hence out of war, and to see that it uses its influence for pence." Few would disagree with this, but it is doubtful if it can be done under our present economic system. We got into two European wars by insisting upon our "rights" as neutrals. Our new legislation gives up many of these "rights," but in the case of a general war it is impossible that economic interests in the United States will surrender without a struggle the opportunity for enormous war profits that these "rights" gave them and present legislation denies. America's only hope for peace lies in the preven tion of war—any war. There will be disagreement as to the best method of doing this, but to suppose that a continuation of political iso`ation is a possible remedy means tragedy. We must cooperate with other nations in preventing war; not rely upon our ability to keep •out of one after it starts. If that means allowing aid to be sent to Spain then that is what we must do. To some, the first semester of '36-'37, just passed, will always remain the period in whicb they were dat ing a certain blonde; to others it will denote sixty nine dollars and,fifty cents worth of education; and to still others it will simply be the first semester. However, to we public slaves who confine our pulse feeling to the great public, it will be remembered for some of its high and low points.

Record Cropt Between semesters did you hear Count Basin's band at William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh? I understand that it's that old Benny Motem's out-', fit and that B. Goodman is angling for the crack. trombonist. Out of the Wincliell vein—in tri bute to their pianist, Mary Lou Wil liams, ANDY KIRK did The Lady Who - Sutinya the Band on Deena 1085. Incidentally the vocal is done in the style of Jack Teagarden; here is a negro doing the style of a negro-im itator so I don't`know who to compli ment for the thing. Reverse is a lit tle more dancable, "What Shall I Tell My Heart—light and airy clouds. The Helen Ward fans will miss the great miss, 'but I think they'll like Ella Fitzgerald. Try Swinging on the Reservation, Deeca 1065. Reverse is Blue Lon. Notice how effectively the muted trumpet is used—not all like (Snortin' Swing) McCoy. Not for the educated hot fan is Victor's reissue of Hoagy Carmich ael's Geargia'and Racal.' Chair. Mr. Nichols tell me fix Beiderbecke prac tically got off his death bed to play the number. Joe Venuti's there on his violin but the rest of the boys (Darseys, Goodman, Teagarden, E. Lang, etc.) don't get off as they did when Bix showed them the way. Try Way Down Yonder in New Orleans cn a. Vocelion reissue for the true Beidetbeckean cometics. Describing the moonbeam's dancing on the waves is the QUARTETTE'S soft rendition of illoonglow (Victor 25394.) These four top musicians have turned out a dance number that 'equals much of the work of large out fits. The vibraphone backing the 'clar inet does the trick. Reverse is Dinah, just what you'd expect the boys to do to that tune. • Benny Goodman gives the dancers another treat in Smoke Dreams. This is the last Helen Ward series. Helen, autobiographically, Gee but _you're Smell graces the other side of this Victor 25456.
