strictive membership clauses.
Preceding this action the com
mittee had approved a petition
by mebers of the Commerce Club
for affiliation with Alpha Kappa
Psi, which restricts member
ship to white gentiles.
Cabinet response to Allen's
proposal was varied. John Sen
ior, representing Interfraternity
Council, said that an inflexible
deadline would play against fra
ternity efforts to bring changes
in their national constitutions.
Jay Goldstein, representative
of NAACP, claimed that the four
years proposed was too long a
period and that groups cliscrim
mated against have already had
to wait for years to obtain
changes.
"This is a state-supported in
stitution and as such it has no
legal or moral right to sanction
discrim inat or y organizations
within it," Goldstein added.
He informed Cabinet that
NAACP is circulating a petition
tig protest the recent chartering
of Alpha Kappa Psi. The petition.
reads:
"We, the undersigned, wish to
protest the recent action of the
Committee on Student Welfare in
granting a charter to Alpha Kap
pa Psi, a professional commerce
honorary fraternity,' whose con
stitution restricts its membership
to 'Christians of the Caucasian
race.' This action is in direct op
position to the democratic princi
ples of equal opportunity for all,
since able and qualifie.d students
can be denied admission to this
organization on the basis of race
or religion.
"We therefore urge the immedi
ate revocation• of this charter."

British Elections
(This is the fourth in a series•of articles about world problems
containing information gathered by members of the International
Relations Club).
THE PEOPLE of England recently went to the election polls
and gave Clement Atlee and his Labor Party a small, but sufficient
v)tc of confidence. Although the English people presumably favor
the Labor Party's socialistic program, the slight majority the Labor
Party now has ill Parliainent seems an indication the people do not
want complete socialism.
The question now arises, "What effect will the British Con
servatives,haye upon the Welfare State, and is the Welfare State
a permanent program?"
- 'THE PRINCIPLE of the Welfare State is no longer a political
issue," Dr. Kent Forster, member of the history department believes.
"It is an accepted principle ir. Great Britain todaY," he added.
The reasons the Welfare State must be accepted seem obvious.,
At the conclusion of the Second World War, England's economy
was on the brink of disaster. Her foreign markets had nearly dis
appeared because she was losing• her • colonial possessions. Her
European market was no longer profitable: her industries and fac
tories were in need of repels and expansion; and she was deeply in
debt with other countries• due to tremendous war loans.
IN ORDER TO compete with other countries in foreign trade,
and regain her former power and prestige, England's industry was
forced to accept government aid. This aid included management and
mone.tary suppork•since sufficient industrial management was neces
3ary for a balanced budget. Thus; maximum . efficiency came with
gov.rnmental control, and the Welfare State was organized because
n necessity.
Both parties now view the Welfare State as England's hope
fOr the future. The Conservatives are trying to '
take credit for
origination and manifestation of the idea of government control of
industry. Their attitude can be substantiated by the investigation
of the coal industry, and the recommendation for its nationalisa
tion, made by Baldwin's Conservative government in 1926.
ALTHOUGH ATLEE'S LABOR government has only a slim
re.hjo"ity, Conservative strength in Parliament does not appear dan
gerous. The Conservatives will not completely detail Welfare State
expansion, although they may limit the Labor Party's legislation.
