, Broiherhood Goes National
-fkotherhood Week, which a few years ago
'jflight have been international, is this year signi
ficant Religions as -yveil as governments
c tp-arised by political boundaries in these days.
At a time when we are threateningly close to re
calling the World War phrase of “Barbaric Hun”
to describe the citizens of Germany it might be
well to suggest that, had we been bom in Ger
tjiciny, we, too, would today be enthusiastic bar
4>wic Huns.
As long as political fights, however important

our Respect for our fellow men we can hardly ex*
settle down to a lasting peace with them.
Ktrseems unfortunate, then, that we should have to

is just about the only international order
'-♦eft.
Times being what they are, this unfortunate
confinement will hardly be remedied. Because it
exist!, is no reason why we should abandon our
■ -national observance. If we cannot yet have a
world-wide faith, let us at least have the broadest
- tualional faith possible.
•Collegian has one prayer. The local speakers
who are on the Brotherhood Week program will
certainly have frequent allusions to the interna-
tional situation. When these are made. Collegian
fe»J>es there will be a recognition that someday the
- national differences may be settled—even though
w.ti: seems a necessity now—and that someday a
world order based on faith and respect may be
t-uilt just as we have joined our 4S states in a na
tional order.
H© fkwernmenf Convention
Just what or how much a student convention
c.m do is a moot question. Specifically, this ap
to the conx-ention held here last weekend by
the Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Student Govern-
mi-nt Association.
The convention xvas well run, well organized.
and well attended, with its social events attended
* better than its meetings. Mr. Thomas Backen
- «tb«e *4l, as president, did a creditable job.
Despite this, Collegian wonders whether many
- ctudent governments will profit by what went on,
whether this convention will be carried back to
dll the students of Pennsylvania as it should be or
- whether it will remain with the 62 students who
. attended it as delegates.
Collegian wonders how many Penn State stu
dents have been affected by the several conven
; tjons Perm State student leaders have attended
; -this' year. It knows .that comparatively few'stu
dents' are aware of what happened at these con-
, - mentions; it wonders how many were affected
through changes or new ideas the students leaders
—cj)ay. have passed on, consciously or unconsciously.
The convention that met here last weekend was
one to legislate or settle, policy. • Its whole
-tsurpose was educational If its ideas are not car
- --tec-d back to the 24 colleges and universities
1 rented here, the convention will have failed in a

One p£ the reasons, Collegian believes, is that

As United States Minister George H. Earle toss
ed the first bottle to open the diplomatic season,
Pennsylvanians are probably surprised-that their
former governor discovered that- more petty dif
ferences can be settled with a champagne bottle,
Louis E. Bell than over one.

Champagne Diplomacy
The champagne bottle. Americas newest diplo
matic weapon, struck a German major in the face
in Sofia, Bulgaria, Sunday. ...
The incident occurred over a battle of music,
not between ASCAP and BMI, but between Mr.
Earle and a German major. Minister Earle want
ed the orchestra to play “Tipperary,”, the Nazi offi
cer wanted a German waltz. But Pennsylvania’s
former governor was equal ,to the situation, and
his ten dollar donation pushed “Tipperary” to the
number one spot on the Bulgarian hit parade.
A typjcal cafe riot ensued, Mr.. Earle Was grazed
by a bottle and the German major was not so for
tunate. Earle dropped him with a well-aimed
bottle to the face.
One can assume that Mr. Earle loves a good ,
brawl, and so does every American, at the! right '•
time and place. It is also comforting to know that
our diplomats can take care of themselves when,
they go abroad. However, if American diplomats
who are supposed to be goodwill messengers, were
expected.to exhibit their-skill at tossing bottles to
defend themselves, it .would seem that they would
be trained in the gentle art of self-defense—which.-
.they are not.' _ • •
Now that, dhe affair is’over, diplomatic head
quarters in Washington would probably have pre
ferx-ed Mr. Earle to have sung Russia’s “Interna
tionale” before a special meeting of the Dies Com-
mittee. He might have succeeded in causing a
greater. disturbance, but the resulting complica
tions would have been only- national in scope, not
international.
In Washington D. C. diplomatic headquarters
merely stated they- wouldn’t lodge a protest with
the German government until official details could
be received. Which the Nazis will probably con
sider “darn white of them,” since American di
plomacy nearly decapitated an important cog of
the German personnel.
As for Minister Earle) he. “still thinks ‘Tipper
ary’ is a swell tune.” However, if the threatened
German occupation of Bulgaria takes place, it
might be wise for Mr. Earle to buy records of his
favorite British tunes, or in some manner manage
to console himself while listening to the Gex-man
waltzes.
