Collier's Outlines War with Russia In the years immediately preceding and during the Spanish-American war, William Randolph Hearst's New York American was engaged in a bitter circulation battle with Jos eph Pulitzer's New York World. As a circula tion builder, Hearst actually promoted—and achieved—an unnecessary war with Spain. Most leading historians are now agreed that had it not been for Hearst's influence, all issues would have been settled peacefully—Spain actually conceded all major points just before the first shots were fired—and there would have been no war. Last week one of the nation's greatest publications made a Hearstian bid for circu lation, actually outlining an imminent war against Russia. Last week Collier's magazine devoted an en tire issue to a "Preview of the War We Do Not Want." It corralled such a staff of writers as it could only hope to pay for through the immens4 circulation boost the issue undoubtedly brought it. Robert Sherwood, author of Abe Lincoln in Illinois; Hanson Baldwin, Pulitzer pri z e winning military analyst for the New York Times; Philip Wylie, erratic philosopher - slick fiction writer; Edward R. Murrow, dean of CBS news analysts. The incredible list stretches on and on. And these people describe World War 111. They tell of an abortive Russian assassination attempt on Tito, which precipitates the con flict. They tell of our early impotence, out numbered in the air, stalemated on the ground. They describe (aided by a painting by top science-fiction artist Chesley Bonestell) the atomic bombing of Washington, Philadelphia, New York. They take us •on the retaliation a bombing mission against Moscow. They describe a suicide UN paratroop attack which wipes out Russia's a-bomb potential. They tell us of the eventual turn of the tide, of the UN troops fighting doggedly across Russia to the eventual liberation of the land. They do a fine job. Its all really quite convincing. It may have been David Lilienthal who first said, back around 1947, that no war is inevitable until the people believe it so. Collier's magazine last week took a significant and unjustifiable step toward making the people believe war in evitable. Despite the protestation that this is a portrait of the war we do not want, the entire issue is a carefully reasoned, well-written essay on how and why we will make war on Russia. Think for a moment, if a publication of Collier's stature had rounded up such a su perb writing staff and devoted an entire issue to the theme, "How We Will Avoid Another War and Bring Peace Finally to the World." What a contribution this might have been to the final elimination of war, the final lifting of the cloud which has hung ceaselessly over the earth since 1914. What a magnificent thing to be able to boast that this magazine had helped blueprint international peace. It probably wouldn't have sold half as many copies, though.

Phone 4181 Campus Chest Drive Is Falling Short Because of apathy on the part of too many solicitors and disconcern on the part of- too many students, Penn States Campus Chest drive is falling short again. As of yesterday afternoon, with only four days left in a two-week campaign, Campus Chest income had reached only slightly more than $3OOO toward a $12,000 goat Students cannot afford to let this opportunity —one concentrated fund drive on campus in the person of Campus Chest—die. If they do, loud regrets will be voiced for-a long time to come. Campus Chest is not soliciting for Campus Chest. Nor is it soliciting only for the nine or ganizations it benefits. Campus Chest is solicit ing mainly for the student's convenience.' So- - licitors must 'double their efforts for funds and students must do all they can to contribute the individual goal of $2. Without Campus Chest, Penn State students will find themselves subject to repeated charity drives, many perhaps from non-worthy organ- izations, that will prove bothersome and will probably draw more than $2 a year in contri butions. Campus Chest benefits nine worthy chari ties. But above all, Campus Chest benefits the student. And the student had best not' blind himself to this benefit, or he will have killed the goose that lays the golden " egg. —Dave Jones Gazette . ..

We haye just been routed from our rack, at an obscene hour of the morning, and seated before this type writer. 'And it's all our parents'- fault. ,r__ A little over 21 years and two months ago, we were born. Dad smiled fondly down into the little crib. "Ah, another Republi- can," he said. And now we are paying the price. In a• matter of half an hour we will be standing beside some road, relying on the kindnesses of travelers for a ride in a nice warm car out of the 20 degree temperatures, on our way home to exercise our (ugh) demo cratic right. In all seriousness, it is a great feeling, disregarding the time of day. We somehow, get the impres sion that, a f ter being shoved around for 21 yeks, we're ready to get out and do some shoving. True enough, these elections are on a local scale, but , that's where politics start. And whether you're voting to eject officials or to sup port them, we feel it's important. Incidentally, along political lines, we had the opportunity of attending a political rally last week. We use the word "opportunity" advisedly, but it was still an education. We were supposed to be writ ing a story on a speech given at this political r all y, preserving forever the stirring words of a political cheerleader as he urged WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER', 7, 1951 our fourth ossie! This i the Party on to a political touch down. Before the meeting, we decided to talk ( to the speaker, ostensibly to see if he had an advance copy of the speech. He didn't, and that was our mistake. He was willing to give his whole talk, just to us, in the lobby of the rally hall. This he did, interrupted constantly by smiling men wandering in and out who grabbed our hand, shook it, and said, "Glad to see you." When the first one came around, we assumed it was someone we knew, but the glassy stare that was directed over, my shoulder as he shook convinced us that we were merely a warmup to something bigger. Maybe he was getting ready to shake hands with a candidate. With all the other hand shakers, and the one in par ticular who kept coming back, we didn't get much chance to hear what our interviewer was saying, so we were as surprised .as the rest later. We filed in, took our seat behind a large (Continued on page eight) By Bibler ryv, .• 'k'V.:•••"5444: •
