Dear. Erection of ‘Manchoukuo State in Invaded Manchuria Is Cause of Friction NAVAL PARITY DEMAND OPPOSED BY AMERICA. “The state of tension. which - exists in the Pacific area today is in some respects comparable to the critical situation which existed there before the Washington Conference of 1921- 22,” said Mrs, Vera M. Dean in intro- ducing her lecture on Thunder in the Far East, the last of the lectures to be given under the. Anna’ Howard Shaw Foundation. At that time, as today, Japan was firmly entrenched on the Asiatic mainland. She had es- tablished a virtual protectorate over Manchuria, wrung concessions from China under pressure of the Twenty- One Demands, and taken over German rights and properties in Shantung. The military party, which at that time, as today, was dominant in Tokyo, was seeking to establish an Asiatic Monroe Doctrine, which conflicted with the Open Door policy proclaimed by the United States at the beginning of this century. Following several treaties about naval armament and the maintenance’ of the status quo in the Far East, the Washington naval treaty. was signed in 1922. It fixed the naval armament ratios at 5 for Great Britain and the United States, 3 for Japan, and 1.67 for France and Italy. At the London naval conference of 1930, it was de- cided that this agreement would ex- pire on December 31, 1936: The ratios agreed on at Washing- ton conferred on Great Britain, the United States and Japan naval su- premacy for eaeh in its own sphere of influence. Japan’s naval supremacy was further confirmed by the United States’ abandonment of the vast naval program it-had projected after the “World War, and. by an agreement among the three powers to maintain the status quo with regard to naval bases in the Pacific. The powers fur- ther agreed to use their influence for the purpose of effectively establish- ing and maintaining the Open Door principle throughout Chinese terri- tory. The settlement reached at Washing- ton remained unchallenged until Sep- ember, 1931, when the Japanese army imvaded Manchuria and set up_ the ppet state of Manchoukuo under the Albert Jay Nock Mr. Albert Jay Nock will speak in’ Goodhart Monday _evening, November. 28. on.“Our ~~puntical Tendenciés.” Hé will present the facts to our. pres- sent situation that are funda- mental to the issues of the day.

Hobbes’ Philosophy ’ Based on Materialism Dr. Veltmann Says Corporeality of Reality, Materiality of Bodies Postulated EVERYTHING IS MOVING “All reality is corporeal; nothing but material bodies and their attrib- utes exist; and all is in motion.” These were the fundamental doctrines of Hobbes’ philosophy, which Dr. Veltmann explained in the Common Room on Thursday, November 15, as the link between‘ancient and modern materialism. Hobbes postulated a continuity of matter, while the Atomists donceived infinite numbers of atoms in an infi- nite void as the principles of the uni- verse. Yet in spite of this radical difference, the two philosophies have many essential likenesses. Just as only corporeal, material substance possessed reality for Hobbes, so only corporeal atoms moving in the void possessed reality for Democritus. As Hobbes described original na- ture, it is a continuum of matter with- out form, an aether fluid filling all space. Physical matten is made up of corpuscles or minute particles, unlike atoms in that they are infinitely di- visible both geometrically and physi- cally. A certain resistance prevents them from dividing continually, but the possibility of such division exists. These corpuscles are form modifica- Continued on Page Four Continued on Page Five Politics Department N pads Books, Funds To Continue Posting Students on Trends Even those of us who have never aken courses in the Department of olitics have many reasons to appre- ate the work it does.

When we realized how much more teresting the Shaw lectures had lade the college year, and how much ore we knew about ,] urope and the East than we faa ever hoped to ow, we began to investigate what] hore the Department of Politics needs o improve its work. Politics is the ind of subject in which the profes- br must keep *up with every modern velopment, and keep in touch with work done in political organiza- d in dither eclleg. of all, to keep up with new pments, the department needs books, and more room in which to them.

The Bryn Mawr Politics Department wants to keep up to date; it wants to handle contemporary mate- rial, not to trespass on the History Department. In order to be modern, jit must receive the reports of the or- ganizations that are gathering modern material. --If the professors in the Politics De- partment are to do research, which is essential for the stimulation of the’ students, it is impossible for them to read through every report of every international, national, and legal or- ganizetion, to find their facts.

Freer inspira- tion, less restriction in form, and a personal spirit, emotional, imaginat- ive, and inventive, distinguish this per- iod from the_ preceding Classicism. Programme music was developed, wherein suggestive titles were given to each piece, in contrast to absolute, or pure, music. The causes of this signal change in music were in part the social changes, the French Revolution, the Polish fight for liberty, the new democracy, the new literature, and a new love of nature. A _ spontaneous campaign against Classicism broke the bonds of convention and produced a fresh and self-conscious art. In the first half of the nineteenth century there were many innovations, many of them un- der the influence of Bach, including the replacement of the sonata by the étude, new varieties of key relation- ships, contrasts in harmony,——lyri¢ tunes, and new rhythms, all of which gave a poetic beauty and idealism to the expression of emotion and the va- rious aspects of nature. The first composer of this great movement was John Field (1782- 1837), an Irishman whose life and Works are little known today. After a wretched childhood, he studied in Lon- don under Clements and toured Eu- rope playing Bach. He settled in Russia, where he fell into neglect, and after wandering over Europe was found dying in a Naples hospital by Russian friends, who took him_ ‘to Moscow, where he died. He invented the nocturne, or night song, whose in- timate and delicate nature influenced Chopin, who broadened the form, Mr. Marriner played one of Field’s ex- quisite nocturnes, the A Major, Num- ber 5, to illustrate the Romantic inno- vations. Franz Schubert,’ the fourteenth child of a schoolmaster, was born in Vienna in 1797, when Beethoven. was 27 years old. He learned music from his father and a choirmaster and lived throughout his 31 years in abject pov- erty, often without the money to buy even the paper on which to write his compositions. For his 1,100 composi- tions he received practically no money, so that he had to beg support from his friends, and after his death his manuscripts were valued at $1.50. At 17 hé became a school teacher, but even this gruelling profession could not kill his inspiration. He loathed duty and teaching, yet he remained, in 4spite of all his hardships, a visionary full of daring and romance. He was the most spontaneous genius the world has ever known, for, although with- out training, he turned everything to pure music. He constantly improvised with no delays, sketches, or revisions, and in two days, one summer, he wrote fifteen songs. He was obsessed with a desire to compose, and al- though he wrote many, lovely sym- phonies, his medium remained: song. ,after_a walk, he met-a-friend. in a tavern with a copy of Shakes- peare, and happening to reed “Hark, hark, the lark!” he composed the im- mortal song on the back of a menu. At 18 he wrote the Erlkénig from Goethe’s poem, which is a great song not only because of its dramatic qual- ity, the youth of its composer, and its moduiations and harmony, but chiefly because of the contrast of the human of death with the real death at end, After explaining the story of’ this epic song, Mr. Marriner play- ed a tran of it.

Conference Debates Chinese Communism Possibility of Economic Boycott Against Japan Is Unlikely For Trade Reasons NAVAL RATIO DISCUSSED At the final conference with Dr. Vera M. Dean held on Tuesday af- ternoon in the Deanery, a group of students followed out the ideas which she had advanced in her speech on Thunder in the Far East. The first point discussed was the development of Communism in China. Is it a result of foreign agitation, or is it a product of natural conditions in China? At first in 1919 it was much influenced by Russia, -particularly because of the friendly feeling between the two couytries induced by the Soviet re- nunciation of the unilateral treaties giving special privileges to Russians in China, There had been little party activity in China prior to the 1911 revolution, but by 1921 there were two parties in China, the Koumintang (National- ist) Party and the Communists: The latter group carried on underground propaganda until 1924 when they be- came allied to the Koumintang as a kind of radical left wing. For the next three years there was a very close and friendly association with Russia, and Communism spread rap- idly throughout Southern and Central China under the direction of Michael Continued on Page Six |} name, such intensity as is felt in love, ——_—_—~ Gertrude Stein Says Poetry Is Loving _-- Name of Anything Nouns Are Never Interesting, But Verbs Are, Since They Can Be Mistaken. QUESTIONS MARKS ARE REVOLTING, UNPLEASING “Prose is the emotional balance of paragraphs and the unemotional bal- ance of sentences; prose is a combi- nation of these two balances that is neither,” while “Poetry has to do with vocabulary, just as prose has not; po- etry is really loving the name of any- thing.” The distinctions between the balances, vocabulary, and grammar of poetry and prose formed the basis of Gertrude Stein’s lecture last Wed- nesday on Poetry and Grammar, her favorite lecture, and a lecture not de- livered heretofore in the United — States. Words have to do everything in poetry and in prose, but they use dif- ferent methods, the one, nouns; the other, pronouns. A noun is the name of a thing. Names do nothing to anything. Therefore why should the writer use nouns? -If he feels some- thing inside of a thing he should not call it by its name. If a noun is used, an intensity of feeling for the is necessary to justify its use. “Nouns are completely not interesting. Bhe same thing is true of adjectives, Ad- jectives affect nouns and therefore are not interesting. The first thing that anyonestakes out of everything are adjectives,” declared Miss Stein. She continued in her analysis of grammar by commenting: “Verbs and adverbs are more interesting. It is wonderful how many mistakes they can make. Besides being able to be mistaken and make mistakes, they are on the move.. That is the reason why anyone Gan be interested.” Preposi- tions only can make more mistakes than verbs and adverbs and therefore Miss Stein declared she liked them best of all. Articles are interesting as nouns and adjectives are not because they do what a noun might do if it were not unfortunately the name of some- thing. An article is alive just as a pronoun is a “delicate and _ varied something.” Conjunctions similarly are not dull because they work and as they work, they live. Miss Stein does not like to write with nouns and adjectives. Pronouns are not so bad as nouns because they cannot have adjectives to go with Continued on Page Three Photographs Show Campus Vale of Beauty Full of Flowering Trees, Lovely Buildings The campus, always a thing of beauty, has now become a joy for- ever in’the Wolume of Bryn Mawr photographs done by Ida W. Pritch- ett. It is scarcely believable that such a collection of pictures, each one of which is excellent, could be made of our well-known campus scenes. There are the college build- ings all large as life and twice as nat- ural, but lovely beyond our remotest recollection of them; they are all so artistically and flatteringly photo- graphed as to convince the unsus- picious outsider that our college life is nothing but a bed of roses. Goodhart — a.homelike Common Room, an impressive auditorium, and the.Music Walk by night—would ar- gue compulsory .attendance at all col- lege functions. The series of the Li- brary include the front, the reading” room, the cloister walk, the cloister garden, and Lantern Night; they are all conducive to a renewed interest in study, with rounds of meditative pac-. The halls of residence all look as if Spenser. Merion, for example, looks like a veritable bower of bliss. Be- sides these views, there are also to be found the scenes of special col- lege festivity: Garden Party, Com- mencement, and the May Day Pro- cession, in all of their glory. The out-of-door scenes are superb. _ The campus is so beautiful in odd corners and in varying lights that it would seem well-nigh impossible to: get a representative and a good col- lection of views in photographs. The impossible has been done: the vista through Pem Aroh shows the _ ex- quisite play’ of sunlight and shadow through, the leaves, the snow scene down the main cross-campus_ path records the quiet and blanketed ap- . pearance of Bryn Mawr in the win- ter, a_picture of the Japanese Cherry Trees and one-of a view across the hockey fields shows the campus in full spring flower, and to top off this array, the scene in the Deanery gar- den gives the peculiarly exotic sang fect that achieves by its arrangement and decoration. The ‘collection is really complete: no more pictures could be demanded of Miss Pritchett. More might be wished for, because the present one! are so beautifully and. artistica done. The artist came to her well-equipped both by training an by reputation to make this definitiv series of campus photographs. .

We understand that an orientation course is a series of lectures given to Freshmen by representatives of every department. in college on the content and character of the courses given in that department. In _ other words, the Freshmen are enabled to see usually the Head of every department in college and to hear him or her describe exactly what the courses in that department are like. We believe that an orientation course would be of inestimable value in aiding the Freshman to decide what courses she wants to take. We, for instance, arrived in college with the idea that Archaeology was a dry and dead subject dealing with mouldy articles dug up from the ground by graybearded, parchment-skinned scholars, and that a curse infallibly pursued anyone who indulged in this grave-robbing pastime. ‘We were not long in Bryn Mawr, however, before we began to hear that Archaeology is one of the most fascinating subjects in the world, and, far from being dry and dead, is constantly changing and filled with exciting discoveries. We also believe, however, that we discovered Freshmen who were taking Archaeology and that it might well have been many a year before we were disimbued of our erroneous ideas of it. We believe this because we have been pleasantly surprised by many courses we have taken in the expectation of not enjoying them any too much, and because we have liad considerable trouble in making up our minds about just what courses we wanted to take and_also 4 about what, if anything, we wanted to major in. If it had been our lot to hear a description of what was studied in all. the courses in col- lege, and to know at the beginning of our careers exactly what material Economics and Psychology as studied at Bryn Mawr really contain and how that material is treated, we would have had considerably less difficulty in making up our minds what we wanted to take. The Dean’s office would have been relieved of the trouble caused by our numerous decisions to drop a course after the first two lectures because it did not treat of the material we had expected it would. We therefore recommend for serious consideration the ‘possibility of giving an extia-curricular, or even a required curricular, orientation course to the Freshmen. It is really more imperative, to our way of thinking, that the Freshmen should be given some idea of what all the college courses are like, so that they would not be floundering around in a hazy attempt to take what they hear their best friends describe as swell courses, than that they should learn a few isolated facts about proper speech or proper carriage. The Making of Students Within the past week the news and views of the college have undergone significant change. Gertrude Stein’s lecture stimulated thought and discussion to such an extent that it precipitated unprece- dented activity on campus. In addition to being a stimulus to thought, the lecture also gave“us a point of view on and an appreciation of modern literary forms that we could never have gleaned from mere reading. Most lecturers available to college audiences, if they are good at all, succeed in impartifg and in correlating information. Few lecturers give the undergraduate the opportunity of thinking for herself under the stimulus of an arresting idea or of coming to appreciate a force and a personality in modern circles, either governmental or literary. This Gertrude Stein accomplished. She was already well known to the college for her reputation and for her influential work in modern prose and poetry, but in addition she explained to her audience the}, Puney. which is the basis of her work and gave thereby the basis for oe iate and intelligent debate on the distinguishing elements in her books and in works ci ligr contemporary writers. She made an immediate and a lasting impression upon the college: everyone who . attended either reversed his opinions or felt them confirmed. | me = We can scream all the night and all the day long for more intelli- gent and pointed discussion among students, but—if we are to judge bate will be started on the students’ own initiative.

A dry blotter needs water to’ unconstructive | Movie Review There are no. words of praise suffi- ciently new and arresting to describe Gentlemen Are Born, starting this Saturday at the Stanton in Philadel- |, phia. It is produced and acted with a sincerity and earnestness, a balance between tragedy and humor, a choice of significant detail to convey an en- tire mood or action, by one movement {org sture, and..a- fa‘thfulness to reul- ity that make it a truly great movie. It.is the-story of the first*year after they leave college in the lives of four boys, and it is with complete truth that we say that the boys themselves and the things that happen to them are so real, so possible and probable, and become so utterly a part of the lives of the people watching them that this movie ceases to be a movie at all and becomes part of the spectator’s in- dividual experience. Gentlemen Are Born opens with a group of four boys waiting to go to . |graduation, and promising each other in the time-honored manner among un- dergraduates that the one who is to be an, architect. will build the others’ houses for them, that the newspaper reporter will write up their successes, that the stockbroker will invest their money, and that the athlete will coach their college’s team to victory. They are shown graduating before the us- ual ivy-covered tower, and the last scerie at the end of the movie shows again the next year’s graduating class standing before the same tower with a fade-in of the four boys in the orig- inal class standing there just as they had done a year ago. The tragedy of contrasting their hopes as they graduated with the memory of what has happened to them in the interven- ing year is almost unbearable. Tneir struggles to find a job, which force them all into miserable living conditions and semi-starvation, are appallingly real and applicable at the present time. . The architect succeeds in getting married and becoming a father on not a cent, the reporter finally gets engaged to a rich girl who loses all her money and decides to face poverty with him rather than a loveless but wealthy marriage, and the athlete,~who-is the only one to abandon his high purpose of finding the job he wants, is eventually shot. down on the street for stealing be- cause he is hungry. This all sounds as though the movie were \unbearably tragic and _ depres- sing, bttas a matter of fact it is not. The dialogue is not only amusing and very much like what boys actually would say, but the boys themselves never give up the ship and get a lot of fun out of their vicissitudes. It is the wealth,of small and amusing inci- dents that build up their characters and reveal the boys as concrete per- sonalities through showing what they do under all sorts of circumstances, which makes the boys so real that the audience knows and adores them by the end of the movie. We shall never forget the Italian orchestra that play- od at the architect’s wedding, nor the minister who said, all in one breath, “TI pronounce you man and wife, Three dollars, please.” Neither shall we ever forget the landlady’s distrust of the jobless reporter and _ architect when they apply for rooms, nor her instructions about the kind of behav- ior she expects from her boarders. Lit- tle scenes, such as the time the archi- tect leaves a note for the reporter that he is giving up their room be- cause he intends to get married, and in an ecstasy of jubilation the report- er jumps into the bed and titkles him, and the time when Smudge, the ath- lete, gets into a prize fight for the sake of the ten dollars pay, and the reporter, who has been sent to cover the fights, sees Smudge get knocked out, are indelibly imprinted on our memory. The crises of emotion are built up to by a series of just such jsmall scenes, each of them played down to suggest more than they actu- ally portray, but the crises are then saved from becoming unendurable by another small scene with a funny re- mark or incident. The actors and actresses could not be better. Franchot Tone is the re- porter and acts with a naturaliéss and youthfulness that is completely convincing. None of the other three boys were known to us, but all or them, and especially the athlete, act- ed with the same sincerity as did Franchot Tone. The small gestures and insignificant remarks of the boys are particularly true to life, and none of the actors, as is usually done in c {to diculous. The girls were, we thought, — not so well acted as the boys on the : whole, but the rich girl to whom the - reporter gets engaged, is unusually attractive, and all the girls also are ‘played with perfect sincerity. It was an unusually good feature of the movie that all of the three boys who fell in love fell for an entirely dissimilar type of girl, and furthermore, fell for just-the Shakes- peare created a‘forest in the Forest of. Arden, without ‘the names of the things that make a forest. In récent years poets, such as Walt Whitman, looked at things until they came not to the name of a thing, but to what actually was the thing. This natural- ly changed the form of simple noun poetry. Poets are now struggling -with the recreation and discard of nouns.as nouns, Poetry up to. the present Avas the poetry of nouns, the passionate naming of a thing. Whit- man, wanting to express things, not name them, came to replace the nine- teenth century writers who were us- ing names that the people knew too well. He used less well-known names to call things passionately. In Tender Buttons Gertrude Stein know what a thing really was. A thing had to exist so intensely that it would exist in writing without a name. Then, in the newest poetry and prose, poetry has to do with the replacing of the noun, and prose with the form of movement in space. International Games Budapest, Hungary — The new!

Japanese exports to Man- Japan abandoned the gold standard, it has had an export surplus. The in- crease in the volume of goods exported, however, has been greater than the in- crease in value, showing the marked decline in the.sale prices of Japanese goods. Japan’s trade gains have been achieved largely in the field of eotton, rayon, woolen yarns and fabrics, and other low-priced manufactured prod- ucts. Markets for these goods have been won in colonial or semi-colonial areas, such as Africa, the Near East and Latin America, while Japan’s, ex- ports to China, India, the Dutch East Indies, the: Philippines, and Australia have increased in addition, The countries which had possessed control of the markets in these regions have all become alarmed and have in- stituted trade barriers against Japan in the form of. tariffs and quotas. Brit- ish manufacturers of cotton cloth have been particularly affected, since in 1933 Japan’s export total for cotton cloth for the first time surpassed that of Great Britain. Recent friendly de- velopments between the two countries, however, suggest that in return for British concessions on naval ratios and British recognition of Manchou- kuo, Japan might offer new opportuni- ties for British exports to Manchuria. This advance in Japan’s export trade is due to two principal factors —low production costs and deprecia- tion of the yen. The-low production costs in Japanese industry are the re- sult of relatively low wages and lone hours, but there is no evidence of the social.dumping resulting from exces- sively low wages and bad labor condi- tions, which has been charged by other countries. The depreciation of the yen seems to be far more respon- sible than low production costs for the strides made by Japanese, exports. The advantages enjoyed by Japan as a re- sult of depreciation, however, should normally prove but temporary. The major threat to Japan’s export trade will in the long run come from the growth of local industries in areas which are now important markets for Japanese products. Political friction between Japan ana the Soviet Union on the one hand, Japan and the United States on the other, constitutes a source of poten- tial dangér to world peace. The two regions where Japan might clash with the Soviet Union are Outer Mongolia and Manchuria. Japan has made no attempt to interfere with Soviet dom- ination of Uuter Mongolia, but it has protested that the Soviet Union has established the “closed door” there. Japan fears that Outer Mongolia will eventually become part of the U. S. S. R. and will then seek to absorb In- ner Mongolia, which Japan regards as its own sphere of influence.

The Soviet government has refused to recognize Manchoukuo ‘and a series of .conflicts have ‘arisen between the Soviet Unioi. and Manchoukuo over the Chinese Eastern Railway. In May, 1933, the Soviet Union offered to sell its share in the railway to Japan, and Japan’s reply that all: negotiations must be made with Manchoukuo may lead to recognition of Manchoukuo by the Sov- iets. Whether the Soviet Union, by a voluntary surrender of the ‘Chinese Eastern, can win assurance -against Japanese aggression in Siberia and re- tain the outlet on the Pacific for which Russia has long struggled is a ques- tion. But in the long run, the Soviet Government, by withdrawing from Manchuria, may gain the adherence of the Chinese, who will be antagonized by-Japanese control of Manchuria. Most important of all, internationa’ alignments since 1932 have created a situation unusually favorable to the Soviet Union. Japan would find few valuable allies but Germany today in attacking the U. S. S. R., and the identificatién of these two countries against the Soviet Union, might result in Soviet sympathizers venting on Japan some of the hostility they feel for Germany. The issues which divide Japan and the United States also are political. The United States has refused to rec- ognize Manchoukuo, on the _ground that Japan’s invasion of Manchuria violates the Washington treaties, and has been unwilling to sign a new treaty granting naval parity to Japan. Should Japan receive parity, the Unit- ed States, which has to maintain a fleet both in the Atlantic and Pacific, would be forced into a_ position of inferiority. The naval controversy reveals the necessity for the United States to clarify its policy in the Far East. T we want to interfere in the Far East whenever our. interests are affected, we must realize that such interfer- ence may involve us in war with Japan, and we must therefore sup- port a large and expensive naval build- ing program. If we do not want war, peace in the Pacific area might best be preserved if the United States aban- dons all attempts to achieve naval par- ity or superiority, and bases its navy attempting only to maintain a fleet adequate to defend the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. If we follow this pol- ‘ey of withdrawal, will American in- terests be protected in the Far East? If we co-operated in collective action on the principle of territorial defense, | with other natiens, as through — the League, we might be in a better posi- tion to avert the causes of war in the Far East. - Personality Survey Lewisburg, Pa.—One of the feat- ures of the work of the Dean of Stu- dents at Bucknell University is a Personality Survey, which has been put into effect this year and will be applied to the present freshman class and to every future class. » Each student will be graded by each of his professors on traits of per- sonality such as ‘honesty, persever- ance, initiative and intelligence. There are 19 traits on which each student will be graded. Upon each trait he will be ‘given one of six grades, For example, in grading a student upon accuracy, the professor has the option of choosing one of five classifications, which run from the first, “paid no attention at all to de- tails,” to the fifth, “accurate almost to the point of being ‘fussy.’ ” sixth classification, “no opportunity to observe,” will be used by profes- sors who have had no contact with the student whereby he can base his grading. The traits upon which the grading will be made are as follows: accur- acy, self-confidence, willingness to co- operate, intelligence, initiative, per- sistence, reaction to criticism, capac- ity for leadership, ‘emotional stabil- ity, oral and written expressive abil- ity, enthusiasm, open-mindedness, originality, productivity, personal ap- pearance, honesty, humor, and judg- ment and common sense.

Welfare Drive President Park spoke of the Phila- delphia Welfare Federation drive, in chapel on Tuesday, November 20. The drive is organized every year to take care of numerous charities in Phila- delphia, the Main Line, Delaware County, and the Willow Grove sec- tion. The charities to which the drive con- tributes make no religious or racial distinctions, and receive no federal or state relief funds. The Welfare Fed- eration pays salaries only to the peo- ple it employs for clerical work. It maintains a social exchange register, so that éach individual who is helftd has a separate record and can be ade- quately supervised. _ The drive is setting out to raise $3,700,000, of which $1,000,000 is to go to hospitals, $200,000 to the dis- trict nurses, and $800,000 to organi- zations for child health and the pro- tection of dependent children. The rest goes to neighborhood houses, day nurseries, and family relief organiza- * tions, which are connected with the schools, churches, and Boy and Girl Scout groups. Bryn Mawr is not pledged to give any specified amount. Last year, we gave $750, and the year before $1,500. The Bryn Mawr fund is given by the faculty, the staff, and the students to- gether, and it is hoped that this year, when the need is so great, the fund will be larger than in 1982. Cx Hobbes’ Philosophy Based on Materialism Continued from Page One tions of the materia prima, From such minute particles, body is evolved. “A body,” said Hobbes, “is that which exists independently of mind and is coincident with a part of—real space.” Real space is the geometrical figure of a body which determines the finite space it occupies. Unoccupied Space is: unreal. The essence of a body is extension in real space, and the four basic characteristics of a body are: magnitude, figure, motion, and consistency. The first three char- acteristics were also used by the At- omists to describe body, but they pre- scribed absolute indivisibility instead of consistency, which is mere resist- ance. The Atomists also had a fifth characteristic of body, that is, weight. Hobbes did not belieye this to be an intrinsic attribute. Like the ancient ~-Materialists, Hobbes thought that perceptions of! these primary qualities were true cop- ies of the originals, but that secon- dary, sense qualities were phantasms existing only in the mind. Even space and time were entities of the imagi- nation in his view. Hobbes was diametrically opposed to the Atomists in rejecting atoms, as he believed that nothing was indi- visible. He rejected likewise the void in which atoms were supposed _ to move. “How could you know void was?” he asked. Infinity with re- spect to extension and duration of the world was equally incredible to ‘him, Although he denied the possibility of a void, which seems necessary for motion, he believed’ firmly that mo- tion was a reality. Motion produces change and causes the accidental char- acteristics of bodies. Since motion cannot exist in a stationary plenum, the plenum, or all nature, mus¢ be in continual movement. Motion itself, Hobbes defined as an infinitesimal endeavor. The~ motion of a corpuscle consists of an infinite number of infinitely small impulses in the least possible space in the least possible time. By thus introducing infinitesimals, he recognized the infin- ity he so specifically denied. For the relation of an infinitesimal to a finite thing is the same as the relation of a finite thing to infinity, One failure of the theory that all is in motion lies in its total inability to account logically for anything sta- ble. Yet Hobbes pre-supposes stabil- ity in assigning definite characteristics to body. In a fluid flux there is not even any means of measuring motion, as such measure requires a standard at least relatively fixed. The endeavor of opposite motions produces resist- ance, which demands a stability in at least some of the opposing corpuscles. Yet there is no stability, no_ rest. Hobbes’ idea of solid structure and pure flux are flagrant contradictions, Hobbes’ explanations of the individ- ual body and soul were greatly influ- enced by Harvey’s discovery of the circulation of the blood. Life, said the philosopher, must be the rhythmic pul- sation of the blood through the body, and death is the cessation of this rhythmic flow. Hobbes’ soul is mere- ly the behavior of the living body. As there are no ingorporeal realities, there can be no spiritual souls. Perception and thought are only modes of motion in the heart and brain. All sense qualitieg; even space and time, are subjective: Space and time are more real because they have objective counterparts.¢—If sensation is a phantasm of the reaction of any body in an external situation, it would seem that phantasms are being engendered on all occasions, and all things experience sensation. . Since the organs of perception are outward-. ly directed, the phantasms of -sensa-' tion cannot penetrate beyond the skin. Therefore these phantasms must be lo- cated in space, which is itself a phan- tasm. It is obvious, said Dr. Velt- mann, that this theory is ridiculous. Since similarities in objects have the same names, universal terms come into being. But actually nothing con- crete corresponds to these generalities. No blueness exists, orily the individual blue. A class is an abstraction with- out a corresponding reality. There is no meaning in universals ynless they express the functional relationship be- tween things. Such relationships are as real, although not objectively so, as the things, and similarity is an exam- ple. The likeness in the features of two people is an expression of a gen- eral biological pattern that extends be- yond the environment into the past and future. Beyond the naming of functional relationships, class terms have ho meaning, and even with such significance, they do not symbolize any objective existences. But if the ob- jective reality of a class is denied, the objective reality of the human body will ultimately have to be denied. For the body is a class of cells, which are classes of molecules. These are classes of atoms; atoms’ are classes of elec- trons, and these finally must be classes of points, which are nothing. There can be no individual objects in nature if nature is a plenum, This is a point to which Hobbes did not intend his theory to lead. Besides minor weaknesses, Hobbes’ doctrines are subject to the same vital criticisms as Atomism. The first prob- lem is: how can quantitative, ex- ternally related particles of matter account for organic life? A second question is: how can quantitative mo- tion of insensible particles result in sensible qualities? Equally inexplica- ble is the fact that a similar motion of insensible parts is supposed to result in feeling. Mere motion in the brain fails also to account for visual pic- tures of the world. It is impossible to explain how the mind can distin- guish fictitious phantasms from per- ceptions of reality if both are disturb- ances of the corpuscles of the mind. Finally, mathematical reasoning, the most stable and the purest activity of the human intellect, cannot be stated in terms of mechanistic ideology. The creation of a college police course for University of Wichita (Kan.) is being considered by offi- cials of that institution.

But today he is loved everywhere, not only as a musician, but as an intimate and human friend, who translated his own sorrows into enchantmené for others. To conclude Schubert Mr. Marriner played by request the immortal Sere- ' nade. - Schumann, the composer and writer (1810-1856), loved the fanciful and the dramatic and was deeply imbued with the Teutonic philosophy of Jean Paul. He organized the paper, Neue Zeitschrift fur Musik, and a society of young friends to combat the Philis- -tinism of the superficial and mediocre music of the time. He dared ‘to pro- test against the routine and supported the new movement by writing vigor- ously on the new music, seeking new composers, and composing new music himself. His dual nature is revealed not only in his music, but also in the two pen names he used: Florestan for the rough, and stormy side, and Eusebius for the poetic. He was in a@ growing state of nervous and. moral anguish, and became so distracted that he threw himself into the Rhine and later died in an asylum in Bonn. His great influence lay in battling the conventional and mediocre with ro- mantic pieces, whose titles stimulate the imagination of the hearer. Al- though his work reveals some defects in form, it possesses great beauty, rhythm, harmony, color, and complex counterpoint in the interwoven parts. By his music for children he also had great influence in the new understand- ing of a child’s point of view. In conclusion Mr. Marriner played Schumann’s Opus 17, a Fantasia in C Major. At the time he was in love with the daughter of his teacher but eould not marry her, and this thwart- ed love produced this composition. There is no conciseness of form, but the three movements are. unified by them. He originally intended the three movements to have names which sel- dom appear on: programmes today: the-first movement, allegro, Ruins; the second movement, Moderato, Tri- umphal Arch; and the third movement, andante, Starry Crown. Conference Debates Chinese Communism Continued from Page One Borodin. Then with the rise to domi- nance of conservative elements within the Koumintang under the leadership of Chang-Kai-Shek, there was a break with the Communist wing and an ac- tual severance of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. In 1929 Communism re-emerged in China, but this time as a more or less indiginous product, not directly inspir- ed by Moscow. Communism is espe- cially strong in the agricultural reg- ions of the South. There has been no extensive nationalization of the land as in the U. S. S. R., but there are many things about the organiza- tion of Chinese Communism . which closely resemble the Soviet system. Considerable work has been done among the industrial workers in the more populous centers such as Shang- hai and Canton, but, as was the case in Russia, considerable difficulty has been experienced in getting co-opera- tion between the two groups. The growing strength of the Com- munists in China has had repercus- sions on Chinese foreign relations. LUNCHEON 40c - 50c “certain tones running throughout Quite a few pbservers feel that the Nanking Government was more inter- ested in ending the Communist men- ace than in keeping the Japanese out of Manchuria. In other words the government has been willing to in- dulge in a civil war which has divided China into hostile camps, rather than to, maintain a united front against the encroachments “of Japan upon China’s sovereign rights. Thus, in this sense, the Nanking Government has’ aided Japan in its designs. . ‘Mrs. Dean then asked ‘ne group to discuss what other countries are go- ing to do about the continued spread of Communism in China?’ Suppose Japan, fearing the effect this spread would have on her people, started to take measures about it. Shall we all sit by and let her do it? It was sug- gested that this might possibly be done, provided Japan had agreed be- forehand that she was not: going to gain any further territorial advan- tages from the venture. The objec- tion to this proposal was that such an arrangement constituted a tacit recognition of Japan’s. Manchurian activities, and no one wants to do this. Of course, the Nine Power Treaty can be invoked, but this will do no good unless followed up by some more stringent measures such as an Meet your friends at the Bryn Mawr Confectionery (Next to Seville Theater Bldg.)

The difficufty here is in getting the nations to agree On a proposal which is bound to in- jure an already poor export trade. It was generally felt that if_it-came to a choice between a Communist China and a Japdnese controlled China, the latter would probably be preferable, since Japan would take care to secure the foreign trading interests in China on which she depends greatly. There was ‘considerable discussion about the prospect of Japan using force to make further gains in China or to combat the effects of a boycott. It was generally felt that other na- tions, such as the United States and especially Great Britain, would not wish. to fight for their interests in China, but would wish to hold a con- ference and, if necesSary, to make certain concessions to Japan. One of Japan’s most pressing problems is her growing population and this internal problem is instrumental in creating certain of her foreign policies.
