XX, No, 5 —<— BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1933 Copyright BRYN MAWR COLLEGE NEWS, 1933 —_ —————e PRICE 10 CENTS Nazi Revolution Ends Policy of Fulfillment Allied ‘Concessions to Germany Have Always.Been Too Late, Says Mrs. Dean REVISION IS INEVITABLE “Despite the overcharged atmo- sphere of Europe at present, there is no immediate prospect of war,” said Mrs. Vera Micheles Dean, beginning the second of her lectures, The New European Balance of Power, in Good- hart Hall, Monday evening, Novem- ber 6. The Hitler government is not yet ready for a major conflict, but if the demand of the vanquished for the revision of the Versailles Treaty fails to provoke satisfactory, peaceful adjustment, war or a series of wars will beyond doubt eventually result. The Nazi revolution nas created profound changes in Europe. It has crystallized tendencies implicit there since the World War, and has precipi- tated developments which may lead to a new political alignment in Europe. The Hitler government is the most successful Germany has ever had: it has successfully antagonized, at home, the Communists, Socialists, liberal Lutherans, Jews, and Pacifists; abroad, France, Great Britain, Italy, Auscria, Russia, Czecho-Slovakia, Po- land, and, most surprising of all, its old friends, Sweden and Switzerland. Europe today is in a ferment, for the disputes over the war treaties have. been steadily growing ever since the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. The draconian terms of the Ver- sailles treaty were dictated by hatred of and revenge for German militar- ism. It was impossible, that they should long be practicable. The ideal of creating. a basis for permanent peace in Europe, which found fullest expression in the Covenant of the League of Nations, has in actualiza- tion fallen far short of what was ex- pected of it. Since 1919 there has been no at- tempt to reconsider the Peace Settle- ment as a whole—it was modified in 1930, when France evacuated the Rhineland: five years before the time agreed ; it was modified again at the Lausanne \Conference in 1932, when Germany’s \ reparation obligations were practically wiped out; and in 1932, when Great Britain, France, and the United States recognized Ger- many’s right to arms equality. But always the crucial question of terri- torial revision has been avoided, and until this question is settled, Europe can never be at peace. On the subject of territorial re- vision Europe is at present divided into two camps. There ‘are on the one hand the Revisionists,. Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Bulgaria, sup- ported by Italy; on the other, France, Poland, and the Little Entente, who wish to preserve the status quo. While the revisionists, in case of war, could throw an organized force of nine mil- «Continued on Page Four) S Awarded Fellowship at Brown University Honor C. McCusker, of Providence, R.

Fascists Have Vague Economic Principles Italian Labor is Organized ‘in _ Syndicates—Corporative State is Goal STRIKES ARE PUNISHED Speaking in the Deanery Library Thursday on the Economic Principles of Fascism, Mrs. Vera Dean. said, “It is the great weakness of Fascism that no broad economic program has ever been given out.” In Italy agriculture, banking and electro-hy- draulics have benefited piece-meal from the Fascist regime, while other branches of national economy have been completely neglected. At present a better study of Fascism can be made from Italy than from Germany for the German economic program has not as yet had a long enough time to develop fully. The Italian Charter of Labor stresses the. -principle that, although the in- terests of the state are paramount, subordinating the interests of all economic groups, private initiative is not to be discarded, There is a marked similarity be- tween the recently developed Swope plan for the NRA and the Italian un-, written law that labor corporations shall regulate themselves. The gov- ernment limits itself to employing a sort of auto-suggestion of its wishes upon labor-groups. By a very close system of statistics the government gains, also, a knowledge of what is occurring in every industrial field. The Italians would, nevertheless, like to give the impression that every samployer and worker is so enthusi- astic about Fascism that he is will- ing to make any sacrifice in its in- terests. Since all strikes, lockouts, sabotage and boycotting interrupt la- bor, \punishment for them is very severe, Fascism shows its power, and gives a reason for its existence by its prompt action in emergencies. In place of complete independence of the worker, Fascism has substi- tuted Syndicates. Syndicates °need only include ten per cent. of the workers in order to.make valid deci- sions. : Every syndicate officer must be morally capable and interested in the highest good of the state to be-con- firmed in his office by the govern- ment. The government retains at all times the right to oust inefficient em- ployers and to appoint others to fill their places. This really amounts to selection by the government. Fascist employees and. employers form sep- arate syndicates. The syndicates in. turn form federations. (Continued on Page Three) pretation; rata Amateur Players Show Talent for Dramatics Choice of Play is. Debatable; Atalanta in Wimbledon Requires Tempo MORE DIRECTION NEEDED ’ The performance of Lord Dun- sany’s comedy, Atalanta in Wimbledon, by the candidates for the Players’ Club, last Thursday night, was a seri- ous attempt to do highly tempoed, light, difficult acting. The attempt was not quite successful, but it is im- possible in four rehearsals to achieve high tempo and lightness of inter- they are achieved only when the director has time to finish drilling the cast in action and stage business, and then to start training them in inflexion, gestures, charac- terization, picking up their cues, and building the successive scenes to an increasingly higher pitch. Since highly tempoed light comedy is very seldom successfully done. by amateurs after any number of re- hearsals, the candidates for Players’ Club cannot be validly criticized for not having.done it well, but their wis- dom in choosing a play which depends mainly on its tempo to carry its point, is debatable. The play itself is not one of Lord Dunsany’s best: some of its- people are ,uncharacterized; many of them are on the stage for only a very short time; and their motiva- tion on and off the stage is poor. The exposition is too long, and when the ping-pong game, on which the girl’s whole future depends, is off-staged, it carried the interest of the audience off with it. The anti-climatical dis- cussion of their younger days, which takes place at the end between Dawk and the Constable, ruins the pitch at- tained by the climax and gives the play a flat. ending. Some of the acting was good. Miss McCurdy, as the typical farce Eng- lishman, provided a pleasant excite- ment in contrast with the level mo- notony of the other performances. Miss Canaday was an attractive and graceful heroine; she has excellent calm and. self-possession on the stage, but both she and Miss Terry played all their scenes with almost no changes of tone in their voices. Miss Terry, as the father, portrayed very well a philosopher gently speculating about modern love, but her ineffectual pacing to and fro, and her failure ever to. abandon her gentleness made“her-a subordinate character in all of her -eenes. Miss Porcher, as Bill, was a properly earnest young lover, and showed great ability. in conveying emotion through the inflections of her voice. The Sergeant, played by Miss Simpson, should have carried with him the entire majesty of the, law; in the beginning he did so, “but when he was the central figure, forcing the situation upon all the other charac- ters, he did not convince the audi- ence that he really had any control over the other actors. This was the | result partly of their failure to evince any fear of him, and partly of the amazing ease with which he was overpowered. The role of Mr. Leon- ard, acted by Miss Kellogg, was ade- quately done, but. it was too small to permit. of criticism.. The set was extremely good. The room was attractive; fully furnished, and looked as though it had really been lived in. The lighting gave the bright effect suitable for light com- edy, although the audience would have realized more easily that the play took place in the morning if a flood of sunlight had been sent through the terrace door. The cos- tumeés, thanks to the faculty and the police department; were perfectly authentic. The direction of this play was its (Continued on Page Four) ~ Freshman Elections Eleanor Smith has _ been elected president. of the Fresh- man class. ne , President’s Notice In behalf of the speakers of this year may I ask the stu- not ‘to knit.

President Park Attends St. Louis Alumnae Dinner President Park was one of seven Eastern women’s college presidents who attended a dinner in St. Louis given November 2 by college alum- nae. The occasion was intended to center public attention on the common need of the seven women’s colleges for greater endowments. Walter Lippmann, giving the prin- cipal address, did not make any speci- fic plea for funds, but pointed out that men’s colleges received about thirty times as much money in 1932 as women’s colleges. Mr. Lippmann emphasized the value of privately sup- ported colleges in giving diversity to American education, as contrasted to, and prewenting the stagnation which would result from, a government mo- nopoly of education. Women col- lege graduates, he declared, have made notable contributions in many fields of activity. The other guests of honor at the dinner were Miss Virginia Gilder- sleeve, Dean of Barnard College; Miss Mary E. Woolley, president of Mount Holyoke; Miss Ada _ L. . Comstock, president of Radcliffe; William Allan Nielson, president of Smith; Henry Noble McCracken, president of Vas- sar, and Miss Ellen Fitz Pendleton, president of Wellesley. dents who attend their lectures |, ——— Miss Park Considers Autos Distracting Students Are Forbidden to Rent, Drive or Own Cars in Vicinity RADIOS PERMISSABLE “Those questions which arise in connection with the use of victrolas, radios, and cars by students resident in the college are in the hands of the administration and of the admin- istration’s representatives in the halls—the wardens,” said . President Park, speaking in chapel Tuesday morning in an attempt to clear up the in the undergraduate mind. concern- ing these subjects. Since the purpose of the rules made in connection with radios and victrolas has been to reduce the noise in the halls and make them as well adapted to the needs of those who wish to study as is possible, in the past radios have been allowed, only if-they were of the battery variety and equip- ped with ear-phones. The regulation concerning the ear-phones is still in force, for no matter how softly a ra- dio plays the sound is penetrating. and very: distracting—the more-so if it is not clear, since the casual lis- tener strains every nerve to catch the words or the tune and pieces in what cannot be heard. However, it has been found possible to allow the in- stallation of battery sets if they are used in place of one of the lights which the student has in her room. The rule réads that no student shall have’ more than two lights in her study, a regulation made necessary by the enormous load which the pow- erhouse is carrying,-and by the dis- astrous effects’ which would result from serious overtaxing. Anyone de- siring to install a plugged-in set should see. her warden and have ar- (Continuea on Page Five) Faculty Contribute Selves and Goods to Scavengers for Hallowe’en Frolic Hallowe’en night the Seniors gave the Freshmen a_ scavenging party }that had the better elements of Re- straint Necessary and a dog fight, At 9.30, the deadline for the return of the scavengers, a collection of objects poured into the Common Room that will make every future function there seem very pedestrian. In fact, it is probable that such a rare collection will never be assembled again in the college or in the world. Mrs. Chadwick-Collins, in evening dress and baby bonnet, was the sen- sation of the evening and»gave the Hardenberg-Jackson-Muller - Seltzer team its winning score. Not only did she give herself, but also presented the scavengers with a mousetrap, Princeton freshman cap, dog, frater- nity pin, rubber boot, empty beer bot- tle, and tried to procure Lady Chat- terley’s Lover. This generosity was rivalled by the good-will and immolation of selves and goods by other members of the faculty and administration. The pro- fessors who appeared sporting red ties, as specified in the scavenging list, were a smal] army: M. Canu, Dr. Flexner, Dr. Nahm (paie pink), Dr. Miller, Miss Taylor (her tie a gaudy check), Dr. Crenshaw (cap- tured in dinner jacket), Miss Gard- ner (who also contributed Molly and a worm), and Miss Lograsso. °Miss Hawkins was there to keep tabs: on her contributions—a potato, for “something . suggested by ‘Lazy Bones,’” and a Flit Gun. A “Long- sleeved nightgown (not silk)” was entrusted to the searchers by Mrs. King,. and» Mrs. Manning’s hairpins were handed out wholesale by Mr. Manning, who took advantage of the occasion to play cheerful Lord Boun- tiful. Jill, the Manning dog, did not_es- || cape the general conscription of “live dogs” which swept a canine horde into the May Day Room. Some of them got down into the Common Room, where cookies, hot dogs, coffee and cider were being freely handed about, and we only hope they didn’t regret it the next day.. But most of them stayed upstairs along with the rest of the loot, which ranged from “special deliveries from New Haven” to cigars Altogether the May Day Room looked like a dog pound and second-hand ‘store | coms bined. | There was a strange lack of exhib- its’ for “the funniect thing’; but there were some original. bits: Grad- uated Exercises in Articulation; an implement from one of the hall bath- rooms, and the President of Seif- Gov. Yet the comparative dearth of “funniest things” was.made up for by the teams which produced “an eye- lash curler,” two “sophomores in gold lame evening dress” (Poke Hoyt and Pauline Manship, who added touch of elegance to the Comm Room gathering). *y At one point in the evening a fresh- man scavenging party came into con- flict with a murky group of small boys from the village, whose aims were quite different. They were scav- enging for three kisses, for which they were to get a quarter from a nameless donor at an unknown party. They were. coldly refused. After several hazards and exhaust- ing sprints around the campus, the members of the winning team, led by Hardenberg, were rewarded by a cor- sage apiece, and the second best, led by Steinhart, with diminutive orna- ments. Anita Fouilhoux, who ar- ranged all this fun and frolic, hand-_, ed out the prizes, and. announced that= the dogs could go home to their own- ers. The evening ended, for the freshmen, in a mad scramble to re- trieve their borrowed collections, and for everyone, like the Rover Boys, . with a vote that “they had had a bully good time.” | obvious confusion” which~has~existed~ e.

All this sounded pretty far away to us when we came to college, but the longer we live within these ivied halls the more the great work which is being done here impresses us. If all institutions would take as much interest in the care and reproduction of unwritten laws as the college does, we would. be well launched on the glory road. Probably the law which exerts the most pressure on our lives is that calling for the shrouding of all persons calling us on the telephone in a deep blanket of secrecy. On no grounds is it permissible to ask who is calling, for to tell would be violating the unwritten law and that, needless to say, would be’ treason to Bryn Mawr, and consequently to civilization. It baffled us a bit when we first came to college—all this business about concealing the identity of the telephoner from the telephonee—but we see what is behind it now and have withdrawn our objections. The present procedure, in the event a young thing is called on that instrument of fun and frolic, is something that it takes years to catch onto and a great many more to hang onto. When the ’phone rings' there is no immediate reaction, because to answer before a wait of five minutes might indicate eagerness or a constant attendance at the ‘phone, which would seem to indicate that we really care if anyone calls us up. After the proper time has been allowed to elapse, the ’phone is an- swered apathetically, so that the caller-upper will think the person is worn out as a result of all the telephonic activity that has preceded him. He then declares his intentions as to whom he will speak with and thereupon off goes the answerer to call the individual wanted. When that creature. is located the information about being wanted on the phone is carefully withheld until there can be no doubt that she is the woman of the hour—time already having been dissipated by looking for her in the room where she lived’ last year, in the room where a very good friend of hers studies over the week-end, in the tub room on the corridor above her, and finally in the room where she lives, waiting for a word from the outside world. Having found her, the messenger tells her briefly “Telephone” and rushes away, leaving her to search her conscience as to who is after her at the moment. Having come to the conclusion that it is the light that gleams in the dark hours-from Princeton, she rushes to the ’phone, seizes the receiver, ™S “and coos into the ‘thing, only to: find that it is Dr. Wagoner wanting her to come and have a blood count taken. Another time she picks up the receiver, suspecting that she is about to hear from the credit depart- ment of the Greek’s; and therefore is on the defensive, vocally speaking, only to find that she is basking in the favor of Yale. It is a little difficult—that set-up—because the first snarl must be explained and the excuse of a bad cold or a headache will not last forever.. Then there is the ease of the student into whose ear “Telephone” is hissed just-as she is splashing in the tub. In vain she asks for some inkling as to who the summoner is, but the same stolid loyalty to the traditions that have made us great gives her only silence as an answer. She leaps to her feet, flings a bathrobe on over the Ivory soap and green bath salts, and rushes dripping to answer what surely can be nothing other thian the call of the wild. Feeling weak and willing, she sighs into the ‘phone and is informed that the Delineator may now be had for $.50 if it is taken in conjunction with a tube of tooth paste and box of Kleenex at the favorite drug store. The student takes the Delineator, tooth paste, and Kleenex, assuring the man that it is just _what she has been wanting, and stumbles back to the tub—now very cold—to sit and become a cynic. Embittered, she sits for days—then ..another-eall,_but the old spirit:is broken and the summons arouses only irritation. She therefore goes to the ‘phone and roars into it belligerently “What?” only to find that it is Mrs. Collins who is giving a tea and would like to have her come. She hastily says that she is sorry, but she is very sick—did Mrs. Collins notice how hoarse she is ?— ‘and hangs up, to return to her room and think about all the sandwiches she would have eaten if she had known who was calling and had not been so rude as to say “What” without tacking the “Mrs. Collins” on the end, in accordance with the rules laid down at.an early age. er all-seems hard, but we must be building character in the process which will be very good for us in the long run and make people like us for what we are. But perhaps we could find some other way to grow into women of importance without becoming embittered.

Letters To the- Editor of The College News: I would like to express publicly to Mrs. Dean my appreciation of her first lecture. To those of us who had begun to feel that sufficient matter, adequate organization, clarity of meaning and of diction, and a pleas- ing manner were more than could be expected of a single speaker, Mon- day night’s lecture gives cause for encouragement. But if indeed these qualities combined are as rare as“‘ve' had begun to think, then Bryn Mawr is very fortunate in having Mrs. Dean at the college for more t}@® one lecture, and I for one envy the students in the social sciences who have the opportunity to see and hear moré of Mrs. Dean under less yormal circumstances. We may certajnly feel that the Anna Howard Shaw Memorial Foun- dation lectureship has had a most auspicious beginning. Sincerely yours, ELIZABETH MONROE. October 31, 1933. News of the New York Theatres Katharine Cornell began to re- hearse her repertory company last week and get things into shape for the extended tour which will occupy her during some nineteen weeks of the present season. The casting has been completed on Candida, the handi- work of the well-known Mr. Bernard Shaw, and the other two plays on the list are getting their share of atten- tion in the near future. They are to be Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Rudolf Bessier’s The Barretts of Wimpole Street. At present the com- pany includes many of those who have been in the good graces of Broad- way in the past arid years—Basil . Rathbone, A. P. Kaye, Orson ‘Welles and Brenda Forbes. The Barretts has been filmed and is on the verge * of being released, but Miss Cornell’s office has put a stop to that and it will have to sit happily in a refrig- erator until she comes home. Katherine Hepburn is on her way East to tell us whether she really did go to this dear old place we love so well, and incidentally to appear for Jed Harris in The Lake; the plans being to have it on the boards by the middle of. December. She ‘has just come out of the San Jacinto Moun- tains, where she has been doing her bit for man and nature in a new thing called Trigger—we hope, it has no connection with the unpleasant creature who leapt at Miriam Hop- kins in The Story of Temple Drake, because we couldn’t bear to think of our Pandora being put on the spot like that. Even her Bryn Mawr di- ploma, which some say she has and some say she hasn’t, wouldn’t do her much good under those circum- stances. Another Bryn Mawr alumna, who is stepping out onto the stage in ac- cordance with her yearly program, is Cornelia Otis Skinner. She will of- fer another solo-drama much along the lines of The Wives of Henry VII. This new one is called The Loves of Charles II, and if she has time to go the rounds should be one of the most lively and “fraught with interest” evenings in store for us. It is opening in Cincinnati and will wan- der all over the Middle West: and even in Canada before it comes back. The Great Family of the Footlights seems to be having a time with their finances if we are to pay any atten- tion to the filing of some legal blud- geon against none other than Scarlet Sister Mary, known among her in- timates as Ethel] Barrymore. It seems she rented a super goody apartment in Beekman Place ‘from a gentleman and lived in it to great advantage, but never got around to paying the rent, and so now she is being evicted on her rather stiffened nose. It is a little sad to see her in such a fix when one remembers that five years ago she was a personage whom even Gen- eral Johnson would ‘hesitate to evict from one of his little secret orders. There were numerous openings during the past two weeks, but none of them attracted much in the way of attention except Three In One, a comedy from the French of Denys Amiel.

Stamina Enables Bryn Mawr Team to Avoid Defeat BOTH MAKE TWO GOALS On Saturday morning the Varsity hockey team came up from behind to tie the score two all in the game with the Merion Cricket.Club. In thé first half, the Bryn Mawr forwards seemed unable to get away and, as. a consequence, the Varsity defense was hard pressed. Mrs. Wil- bur shot the first goal for Merion early in the game, but the backfield stiffened up and was. able to give some assistance to Smith, so that there was no scoring for the remainder of the’ first period. ‘In the second half, Merion again took the offensive and pushed the ball into the cage for a 2-0 lead. At: this point Varsity took an unexpectedly fast offensive and, in spite~of the Flannery contingent. in the opposing backfield, scored two goals. The last few minutes were ones of great sus- pense, but the Varsity forwards were unable to break through again for a winning goal and as the Merion for- wards were a bit tired, there was no further scoring. A tied score is a point in the game where clever stickwork and accurate passing takes even more precedence than usual over speed and hard hit- ting. A little better control of the Dall before “passing “goes a long-way Hin getting into scoring position. Mer- ion had the technique, but lacked the stamina to put it across in the final few minutes, and but for this, Bryn Mawr would have ended the game on the short end of the score.

The courts are respect- ed highly by the employers. Both of these cases concerned wages. It is a difficulty of the syndicates that at their creation no attempt was made to fix minimum wages and hours. Now that wages are falling, the worker feels that he has gotten the wrong end Italy cannot produce it will import; and for that reason it has made trade agreements, preferably of long dura- tion, with its neighbors—for example, a two or three-year trade arrange: ment with Russia, a country which has always followed the same inter- national trading policy. Italy would have expanded in its trade if it had had the capital; it feels the need to obtain raw material rather than to regulate its production. Germany’s policy is, on the con- trary, to cut down relations with the outside economic world to an. abso- lute minimum. Shipping has already \. suffered in Germany from the cessa- tion eof exporting. If Hitlerism _ presses this plan far enough, Ger- many will be the most completely na- tionalistic country that the world has ever known. It is debatable whether Germany will ever expand to the rich fields of Poland and Ukraine. The fact, however, that Germany has not enough money‘ to fight will undoubt- edly not stop her, if she finds war expedient. She could easily ‘sur- mount this difficulty by currency in- . flation. fe After the Hitler regime came in, the first idea of the Germans was not to nationalize all industries, but to oust all employers. But, as in Italy, Hitlerism is now trying to repair by means of syndicates all the tfuin wreaked in the cause of personal vengeance.

France has tried-many methods by which to gain security. When treat- ies of guarantee with Great Britain and the United States against Ger- many fell through, she sought the either newly- formed by the peace treaties, like Poland or .Czecho-Slovakia, or of states increased in territory as a re- sult of the treaties, like Roumania, and Jugo-Slavia. With them she} formed “a military alliance to prevent: alteration of the status quo, offering them her assistance both with money and with arms. The weaknesses of the Status Quo party are soon apparent. France and her eastern allies are widely separat- tente have strong national minorities favoring union with the revisionist powers; Roumania and Jugo-Slavia have serious political and economic problems to deal with at home, and are much closer to Germany than to France in economic matters. In France itself, too, the Socialist par- ty is opposed to any alliance with dic- tatérships, such as Poland or Jugo- Slavia. Above all, France is challenged by Germany for her tendency to use the League of Nations as an instrument of her own foreign policy. France openly desires to expand the League Covenant so as to create a strong,: international community, armed to the teeth, a sort of international po- lice, which could be thrown against any aggressor—Germany, obviously, being the aggressor under considera- tion. Germany heads the _ Revisionist powers. She has sought revision by various methods: first, by collabora- tion with the Soviet Union; then, by reconciliation with the Allies; and, finally, through her recent withdrawal from the League until her demands are satisfied. After the World War, the Germans had thoughts of developing an east- ern power which would overthrow their western victors. This movement culminated in the treaty of 1922 with the Soviet Union. At the same time, desired western orientation in for- eign affairs, and from 1923-9 the Ger- man foreign ministry was dominated by the “policy of fulfillment,” which aimed to comply with the terms of the Versailles Treaty and thus gain the Allies’ support to achieve some degree of revision. The policy of fulfillment culminat- ed in the five Locarno agreements of 1925. By these, all disputes between Germany, France, and their neigh- bors were to be settled peaceably in the World Court; and Germany, Bel- gium, France, Great Britain, and Italy gave mutual guarantees to main- tain inviolable the frontiers of Bel- gium, Germany, and France. The outstanding drawback to these agree- ments was the qualification that the mutual ‘giiarantee should not apply to the Polish frontiers. The reluctance of the Allies to meet Germany’s demands for territorial re- vision fostered the growing prestige of the National Socialist party - of Adolf Hitler, which won its first vic- tory in the elections of September, 1930. It stood then against the en- slavement of reparations; it denounc-| ed the treaties of Versailles and Saint-Germain; and called for an Austro-German union, and the estab- lishment of.g German army.

Germany’s withdrawal from the League was not illogical, and it has ‘served admirably to clear* ‘the atmo- sphere in Europe. Germany can no rance and Great Britain are faced with the immediate necessity of pre- senting .some. practical. program __ to solve the inherited problems of the World War. On October 14, following the with- drawal of Germany from the League, Hitler declared that once the Saar was returned to Germany, there would be no cause for conflicts France, however, might be forced to cede some of.-her former African colonies to frontiers and very existence of France’s allies is severely threatened, and it is a question whether France, in an emergency, would stand by her allies and defy the revisionists, or sacrifice Poland and the Little En- tente to collaboration with . Italy, Great Britain, and possibly Germany. The last thing Italy wants is Ger- man expansion into Austria. To pre- vent this happening, she is actually assisting Dolfuss and the Austrian Socialists with money and arms. For Hitler, an Austrian himself, it be- comes a question of sheer patriotism that Germany and Austria should be united. Austria, who would have fav- ored the alliance just after the war, has now swung far from it—her So- cial Democrats have no desire to be merged in a state where Social Dem- ocrats are treated as they are in Ger- many. There will be no voluntary union of Austria with Germany. The aggressive plans of German Fascism have driven France to a rap- prochement with her old enemy, the Soviet Union. In June, 1932, Herriot established a close alliance with the Soviets; in November, the two pow- ers signed a mutual non-aggression pact, and discussed a commercial treaty. Herriot is willing to go so far as a military alliance; in this con- nection he and the French Minister of Avigtion visited Moscow this sum-| mer. France is also urging Poland and the Little Entente to a Soviet alli- ance. Poland was willing to sign a non-aggression treaty in November, 1932, not so much from French pres- sure, as from fear of ‘beifig sacri- ficed by France to Germany. On the | same grounds, the Little Entente un-! dertook a rapprochement with the} Soviet government. There is an important trend in| Eastern and Southeastern Europe to- day toward becoming independent ad the great powers. The old dreams) of Pan-Slavism, as well as the new chimeras of French hegemony in Cen- tral Europe and the Balkans, helong to the past. The consolidation of the ' three states of the Little Entente— though ignoring the important power of Hungary—is a decisive step in European politics, and it is possible that further alarm from Hitlerism may drive together all thé states of Southern Europe. | Germany’s withdrawal from _ the League Nations emphasizes the urgency of the need for treaty revi- sion. .In fare of a critical situation, France meanwhile remains calm, and having been always convinced that Germany would sooner or later turn to military aggression, restrains her- self from saying too loudly to the rest of Europe, “I told you so.” Great Britain is divided between a party Meet your friends at the Bryn Mawr Confectionery (Next to Seville Theater Bldg.)

It has been no stronger than its component parts, by none of whom it has ever been freely used. But although we may be forced to abandon the cause of international or- ganization, we must nevertheless on no. account be led to confess war nat- ural and resign ourselves to its re- appearance on the European scene. The political problems inherited from the World War may be better approached not in the publicity of Geneva, but, as Italy and Great Brit- ain advocate, in private conferences between pairs of nations, France and Germany, Germany and Poland, Ger- many and Czecho-Slovakia, without all the other states present to de- mand their share in the spoils. If we desire sincerely to avoid another world-conflict, we must explore every method, every avenue of approach, twhich would permit the political ad- justment of European disputes with- out resort to force.

Both Communism and Fascism “be- lieve;-in--contrast’~-with “Democracy, that a small group-of experts through actual study is likely to find out more of the needs of the people than any representative assembly. They con- sider that a government which puts into the hands of a few experts the regulation of the state is justifiable, in time of crisis even preferable, to de- mocracy. In economic emergencies, there is no doubt that a smal] number of, men can act more quickly than a large unwieldy body. ' Fascists point out that democra- cy’s noble ideal of “the greatest good of the greatest number” may be re- duced in the long run to that which each man wants for himself; and, in any case, in a large country, the pro- cess of counting noses to determine what the majority thinks good for itself is outdated and absurd. There are several] notable weak- nesses in the Fascist gystems. In the first place, the amount of democra- cy existing within the party itself is very small, for it tends to become a limited aristocratic group, with new adult admissions to the ranks strictly supervised both in Italy and in the Soviet State. Party discipline is strong; at: present, both Stalin and Mussolini are at work building up their succéssors, grooming them for the position they themselves now occupy. Again, although Fascism takes care to educate all\its youth one way, it e 9 cannot therefore ensure their all think- ing one way, It is impossible under present conditions to find out public opinion. in the Fascist State; but~in Germany, certainly, in spite of the lack of -audible opposition to the gov- ernment, anti-Nazi -elements exist. It is a striking fact, however, that, except in the case of the Lutheran Church, yo opponents of Hitler’s’ re- gime made any sort of a stand: It is difficult to predict the future of the Fascist state. After all oppo- sition has disappeared, it may devel- op into’a corporate body, a glorified guild, a country ‘which. emphasizes matters economic, while the political machine functions’. unobtrusively in the background. At present, we may only observe that Fascism cannot go much farther without coming to grips with economic problems, and organ- izing a definite economic system. One thing is sure—that the idea of ‘pacifism is in ill-favor both in Ger- many and in Italy. All Mussolini’s speeches to his own people emphasize the Hegelian theory that peace: is stagnation, and that war is necessary to bring out the-best in man. Miss Park Considers Autos Distracting Continued from Page One rangements made with the electrician. The conditions surrounding the pro- hibition of automobiles are more numerous and more complex. The rule reads, “No resident student may college -borhood.” keep a car in college or in the neigh- The reasons behind this rule do not hinge on any distrust of student~driving~ by~the~-administra- tion, but on the danger provided by the heavy and poorly regulated traffic in the vicinity. Lancaster pike is the main highway running to the west and the number of accidents which occur on it are enough to impress its traffic dangers on even the most op- timistic mind. As for the country roads, they are even more dangerous because they are narrow and. wind- ing, and-the view at the intersections is obscured «by shrubbery and hedges. But the chief reason for the ruling on cars is that they are a dis- traction and a temptation to constant use. The student in Bryn Mawr is carrying on a_sub-professional job, which is hard, continuous and de- manding, and a car would act only as a futile interruption to more im- portant business. Furthermore, the uses to which a car could be put with profit in the vicinity are few, for there are excellent trains running into Philadelphia, and the shops, restau- rants, and theatres are within easy walking distance of the station. If the administration hears of a student who has her car in college she will first be instructed to send it home or put it in cold storage under the supervision of the authorities, If she should disregard the ruling a sec- ond time she would probably be sent home in her car. Ag to the borrow- ing and renting of cars—it has never presented a serious problem because there is very little of it among the students... However, the same dan- gers confront the driver of a borrow- ed car-as confront the student using her own car, with the added hazard of a strange car, which is liable at any moment to behave in the most unexpected fashion with disastrous results. Furthermore, the majority of students are not equipped with the driving license required of operatives by the State of Pennsylvania. “Fhe responsibility for any accidents which involve students falls directly upon the shoulders of the college and it is a responsibility which it is naturally most unwilling to have forced upon it. Consequently, all students are re- quested not to borrow or rent cars for use in the vicinity, and non-resi- dent students are requested to drive their own cars and not lend them to friends. There have been - some exceptions made in regard to the maintenance of cars in the case of undergraduates who need them in their work — for geology field trips and under similar circumstances. There are also sev- eral graduate students to whom per- mission to keep cars has been grant- ed, and in the future if a student feels that she has a justifiable rea- son for keeping a car she should pre- sent her case to the president, who will give her the necessary permis- sion.

D. H. Cole. Mussolini, The Political and Social Doctrine” of Fascism, and Stalin, From the First to the Second Five Year Plan have ipse dixit-the last word on/their re- spective subjects. In ‘Psychology Here is an amusing anecdote for the admirers and readers. of Gertrude Stein, whose Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas seems to be taking the country by storm. In a’ New York book shop there is on exhibition an actual letter signed by the real Alice B. Toklas (who al- ways goes to bullfights in Spain with Ernest ‘Hemingway). One of the New York readers of Miss Stein’s Autobiography wrote to her about her device, “rosé is a rosé is a rose,” and received this answer: Dear Sir, \ Miss Gertrude Stein desires me to thank you for your letter of Septem- ber 18th, in which you express your appreciation of her book. The device rose is a rose is a rose is a rose means just that. Miss Stein is un- fortunately too busy’ herself to be able to tell you herself, but trusts that you will eventually come to un- derstand that each and every word that she writes means exactly what she says, for she says very exactly what she means, and really nothing more, but, of course, nothing less. Very sincerely, ALICE B. TOKLAS, Sec’t’y. Speaking of Dorothy Parker’s pre- there are Freud’s New/Introductory’Viously _ published work, Alexander Lectures to Psychoanalysis. I shall be interested to see what Mr. Wynd- ham Lewis is like as a poet, since F respect him as a critic, an artist and a writer of short stories. In Science Mr. Zuckerman’s Man and his Pri- mate Relations enlarges in a.-fasci- nating, but stiffly technical, manner Pope’s dictum. And with Zuckerman I have reached the end of the alpha- bet.” a Woollcott wrote: “Most-of it has been pure gold and the four winnow-. ed volumes on her shelf—three poet- ry, one of prose—are so potent a dis- tillation of nectar and wormwood, of ambrosia and deadly nightshade, as might suggest to the rest of us that, we all write far too much... . I think it not unlikely that the best of it will be conned a hundred years from .now.” In her new book of sketches and (Vie : stories, After “Such Pleasures king’ Press), we can be safe in say- ing Mrs. Parker has written her most amusing book.. The Parker school of writing may not be as popular as in the past, but she will, with this new book, gain many new pupils and ad- mirers. . Ernest Hemingway is getting into a lot of critical hot' water, and I won- der if he really cares. Why try to be so critical about his books, why get ifito such qa temper about “wheth- er he will last, does he really enjoy writing about death and rape,. does ~ he really lead the kind of a life he writes about, and so on far into the night?”’ I find nothing in his new volume, Winner Take Nothing, as poignant as certain sketches of trout fishing (in earlier writing a passionate sub- ject of Hemingway), or as beautiful- ly organized as the retreat from Caparetto in A Farewell to Arms, unless it be the dangerously maca- bre descriptions of horrid death in A Natural History of Death or the hysterical account of fornication in Father and Sons. Yet no one can read of the brute who looks through his water glass at the sunken steam- er, with bodies floating inside the portholes, his rudimentary pity only felt, not realized like the frustration of his greed, or the deceptively sim- ple acount of the prize fighter in The Mother of a Queen, whose ego- ism is so perfect that no blow can touch it, without hailing one of the most skilfull writers of our genera- tion.
