Fascism No Solution
To Spanish Problem,
Says Mr. Slocombe

 

Neutrality. Pact, if Enforced,
“Should be of Assistance

  

Deanery,- February 20%—Speaking

on the Spanish Situation and Its
)

Repercussions, Mr. George Edward

’ Slocombe emphasized the point that

fascism is not the means for a peace-
ful Europe, and that the international
pact of neutrality, effective midnight,
February 20, should, if rigorously-up-
held, aid the Spanish government.
Fascism breeds and is bred by exces-
It leads to an ag-

‘gressive national rivalry taking
offense at any real or pretended slight.
With the cessation of the influx of
foreign troops in accordance with a
neutrality pact, a condition of sta-
bility will be reached affording the
government time to train its army
for the recapturing of the towns now
held by Franco.

Mr. Slocombe gave a brief resume
of the history of Spain up to the out-
break of the revolution in July, an

Sive nationalism.

_ outbreak which was carefully planned

by Franco, the would-be dictator of
Spain in collusion with dictators Hit-
ler and Mussolini.

Although the clergy are, on the
whole, following Franco, religion as
such plays little or no part in the war.
The struggle is one of democracy ver-
sus the’ church, the army, and the
aristocracy desiring to re-establish the
autocratic rights held before 1930.
Lately its ferocity has abated, for af-
ter the first serious bombing of Ma-
drid, rebel airmen refused to massacre
further, and all subsequent. attacks
have been accomplished by Nazi and
Italian fliers.~ This refusal on the
part of the rebels is a sign that men
are coming.to their senses. Mr. Slo-
combe feels that the national pride
of the Spaniard will come to his aid
to speed the end of hostilities.

Many people believe that the Span-
ish struggle is communism versus
fascism. The argument that the
Spanish government is red, so fre-
quently uttered by Hitler and Musso-
lini, is a untrue. Up to last

September e Madrid government
was composed of Republicans and
Démocrats. In the February last

elections, the Democratic coalition re-
ceived the greatest number “of seats
in. the’ Cortes, and was supported by
the left parties. In September, the
government, unable to organize its
defense without leftist..aid, took into
its membership communists, syndi-
calists and socialists.

Communism per se is new in Spain,
and a ‘loyalist victory does not, mean

Segovia is World’s
Greatest Guitarist

 

New York Critics Unanimously
Praise New Technique

 

The general conception of guitar
playing entails a group of Hawaiians.
strumming against a background of
palms in a travelogue. Andres
Segovia’s playing is as far removed
from this as a flute is from a saxa-
phone. _

Segovia was born i in 1 Spain and has
made concert tours both in muni e and
the United States.

Olin’ Downes, of the New York
Times, says of him: ‘Andres Segovia
belongs to the very small group of
musicians who by transcendent powers
of execution, and by imagination and
intuition, create an art of their own.
He is a wholly exceptional artist, a
man of mark among musicians.” Law-
rence Gilman, formerly of the Herald-
Tribune, said-that-“he-gave one of the
most extraordinary and engrossing re-
citals of music that has ever taken
place in a New York concert hall.”
Praise like this from two such compe-
tent critics is particularly valuable.
Segovia’s playing is apparently com-
pletely unexpected and completely
new. His skill transforms the guitar
into a sublime instrument, something
which is made possible only through
his purely personal technique.

Miss. DuBois Offers
_ Psychic Unity Thesis

 

 

 

 

Concept Presents (“Reservoir of
Potentialities” to Deal

With Social Parallels

 

FIELD WORK EVIDENCE

 

Music Room, February 17.— An-
thropological processes can be under-
stood through the concept of the
Psychic Unity of Man according to
Miss Cora DuBois: in her second lee-
ture on The Nature of Man, the fourth
in the series. This psychic unity may
be understood as.a “reservoir of po-
occurring as a group
phenomenon and allowing for differ-
ences among individuals. Offered as
an alternative for the earlier concep-
tions of the social and psychic evolu-
tion of the race, the concept of the
psychic unity explains more sirfiply
than the former the parallels between
institutionalized forms of behavior
and the behavior of certain childrenfs,
and psychiatric cases. Such parallels
asthe covarde, or of animism in’ prim-
itive, men and children have long been
overlooked by anthropologists, hut are
highly important. .

Just as this concept explains eatale
lels between institutions and individ-
uals it provides an excellent tool for
the anthropologist who “faces the
challenging problem of the influence
of culture on personality.

It may perhaps assist the compara-
tive psychiatrist to say how far ab-
normalities can be explained in social
terms,.and how far the normal. per-
sonality ideal is defined by social in-
stitutions. A society may foster ab-

normalities, as in the schizoid’ Bud-|.

dhist; and the stress of society on a
‘personality may produce psychic ma-
sochism or externalization of the
stress, as in some criminals and re-
formers. Institutional stress upon in-
dividuals is of three main types: that
of institution against biological
growth as seen in the late age of
marriage in the West; of institution
against institution as in our society
where aggressive, competitive teaching
conflicts with Christian doctrines; and

of institution against practice, or of]

actual” against possible practice so
acute in the’ unemployment neuroses
prevalent today.

The hypothesis of the psychic unity
of man is supported by the experience
of the field worker in anthropology
who recognizes a certain likeness in
all individuals and by, the ability of
individuals .to adapt to new cultures.
No example of this last is so striking

as that of the,Japanese in the last,

cefitury. As yet no differences have
been discovered in testing ‘which can-
not be explained away by the inade-
quacy of the test or by differences in
cultural emphasis. Certain dreams
dealing with the fundamental physical
experiences of man are constant: to
all mankind, There are, further, con-
stancies—in "inatitational forms, such
as language, marriage and _ incest
rules, aesthetic expression ‘and re-
ligion, in spite of differences of treat-
ment. These might be’ explained by
diffusion were it not that such ¢on-
stants show, such vast differences in
their natures that a single ‘historical
source seems highly improbable.

The doctrine of psychic evolution—
that a child or a patient is undergoing

a recapitulation of the history of the’

race—has no anatomical evidence to
support it. ‘Social evolution as shown
by remains of such cultural evidence

Forty Bust, the freshmen’ maiden |
| venture, was launched before an all-

female audience last Saturday night
with a surprising show of originality
and finish. It is generally understood,
in the case of shows put on by non-
professionals, that as the material be-
hind the footlights is essentially crude,
the enthusiasm and: good will of the

participants will counterbalance any |

messiness.in-the production. But
Forty Bust was put on with a good

sense of showmanship, care for details |

and a cleverness that tended to for-
sake the -classical field. of college
humor.

The connecting thread that ‘ran
through all of the skits was the en-
gaging idea that the busts-in Taylor
Hall left their pedestals and wandered
from room to room, taking a friendly
interest in the classes. The scenes
themselves, each of which represented
a different class, were 9n.the-whole
witty, well directed and to the point,
providing an opportunity to present a
series of portraits of the faculty which
were much appreciated by the audi-

ence. There. were certain high spots
to be remembered with particular
relish: the tough truck driver who

pedalled cheerfully in and out of the
Geology Field Trip scene; Dr, Hegel-
stotle’s_(Jahe—Harvey’s) _ voluptous
enjoyment of “a certain sensuous feel-
ing, of why-ness which is none the
less invisible’; Cicero’s (Terry Fer-
rer’s) .song and agreeable rendition
thereof; the Latin teacher’s (Vrylena
Olney’s) enthusiastic’ approach to’ the
subject of Cicero in his bath. The
last two skits were well placed in the
order of events, as they formed a ‘iit-
ting climax.to-the.evening’s entertain-
ment.

Music Room, February 22.— Mr.

series on The Natuh of Man, dis-
cussed the region of psychology be-

conscious psychic~protesses .in, man,
and the necessity of taking, these into
consideration in a study of man’s
psychology and behavior; and, finally,
in broadening the field of psychology
by suggesting a complete psychic
determinism.

Miss King’s Retirement
The place of Miss King is so integral to the college that it is almost

impossible to envisage her retirement this spring. She originated His-
tory of Art here, for years she was the department, and has been the |

guiding force in its growth.into one of the most outstanding units in
college. Several of our brilliant alumnae owe their careers to her and
many of the eollege’s best contributions to scholarship have been writ-
ten either by Miss King herself or inspiréd by her ‘teaching. Her

«years of devotion to Bryn Mawr and her enthusiasm for its ideals have

seldom been surpassed. Despite the difficulties of illness she has
Her personality
has so enriched life on the campus, that only_on the definite promise of
a speedy return.are we reconciled to her departure at all. For all of
this, a constant souree of pride, the college owes a debt of gratitude
which it cannot repay. J

But greater even than the obligations of the college as a body are
those of individuals. Miss King is one of those great teachers who
make ideals of edueation realities for: those who wish to learn. The
vigor with which she presents each point and draws from the cultures
ofthe world to enrich the pageant, ler.peculiar flair for making the
subject take life in the minds of her listeners, most of all her wnerring
taste and relentless searching into new fields have sent all her students
forth with a new will to learn for themselves. Her demands of her
students | and for herself are equalled only~by her sensitive response
to the “slightest spark of real interest. Always she opens new ,woflds-to
her students. When such teaching is becoming rarer on our campus,
Miss King is‘the more outstafiding for her “driving power and cutting
edge.”

 

Practical Pacifism
The recently proposed central committee for peace projects to be

composed of members of campus organizations. is the active solution to

prevalent -pacifistic mouthings on the ambiguous ideal PEACE... A
highminded pacifist without an earthy knowledge of the contributing
causes, social; economic, and political, of war and peace, is meat for
heeklers. Conducted research by a representative group into these
alleys which are blind to so many of the peacefully nhinded will produce
practical information. On substantial ground we cah proceed to shape
our own idgas of the best method of administering \-peace program,

communities than we. =

An investigation of the reasons why the Buenos Aires Conference
was unsuccessful in limiting arms and in its neutralization policy, and

 
  

why it was successful in drafting an extension of the Monroe Doctrine

is'a fertile field in which to seek information. It uncovers numerous
angles of the relations.among the countries of the Western Hemisphere.
Faculty and outside speakers in discussions and debates inevitably shed
light on confused issues, such as international law, economic’ balance of
trade, and the differences in the standards of living in various countries.

on pacifist projects, particularly in this part of the east, as well as

Philadelphia is actually known as|
the city of a thousand churches. There
are’ five’ old ones—which~are histori-|
cally as well as quaintly interesting,
and we mention them here in antici-
pation of some lazy, sunny spring day
when Bryn Mawr becomes tedious.

We begin with Christ Church lo-
cated on Second Street between Mar-
ket and Arch. If you have no car
available, the best way to get there
is to take a trolley on Market Street,
stay on it until you’ get to Second
Street (almost in the Delaware River)
and then disembark, and go half a

founded in 1695, was enlarged in 1711,
and reconstructed on the style of St.
Martin’s-in-the-Fields, ~London. In
1754. a chime of eight bells was
brought from London and hung in the
tower.

Until 1761 this was the only Epis-

al“€hurch in Philadelphia. Pews
where Washington, the Penn’ family,
the Franklin family, Robert gain
and Betsy Ross -worshipped ar
marked out for the casual observer.

In the Christ Church-burial ground,
a few blocks away at Fifth and Arch,
Benjamin Franklin’s grave may be
viewed from behind iron bars.

Old St. George’s Methodist-Episco-
pal Church on North 4th Street, near
the -ramp of the Delaware River
Bridge, was the scene of the first an-

ers in America. During the British
occupation of Philadeiphia
stripped to its walls and used as a
riding school’ for the cavalrymen. It
was almost demolished- when the Del-
aware River Bridge was erected, but
Methodist’ protest left it standing—a
colonial ve in the midst of bus-
tling intef-state traffic.

St. Joséph’s Church on Willing’s
Alley (the first small street after
Walnut, down around 4th Street) is
a picturesque heir to the site of the
oldest Roman Catholic chapel in Phil-
adelphia. For over a hundred years,
1782-1837, the Chapel, which was
feighteen by twenty-eight feet, was
used .by a missionary- priest.: Then
the present building was erected just
one hundred years ago this: year.

Gloria Dei Church, otherwise known
as Old Swedes’ Church, is one of the
most interesting in-the—city. Situ-
ated near Second’ and Christian
Streets, it replaced an old log’ block-
house which was a thutch in 1677
in'the Swedish Settlement then known
as Wicaco. The present church was
built in 1700; entirely of stone, and
was regarded as a masterpiece at that
time. The services were conducted
by a Lutheran minister sent’ over. by

the old country had been discontinued
after the Revolution, thegChurch was
admitted into the Protestant Episeo-
pal. Church in 1845.

The last of the five churches is at
4th and Pine, its lot being donated
by Thomas and Richard Penn‘for the

Church. It’ was used as a hospital
during the Revolution, and later as a
cavalry stable when the British oc-
cupied Philadelphia. Among the in-
teresting graves is that of ‘William

PEACE PROJECTS

The Emergency Peace Campaign,
headed by Harry Emerson Fosdick,
Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Ray New-
ton and Charles P. Taft, II, and spon-
sored by leaders from all parts of
the country, is the most practical,
well-organized and promising move;
ment against war that has yet been
launched in America. To attain its
goal of keeping this country out of
war ‘and furthering international
friendship it is attempting to unite
all peace-minded individuals in a tre-
mendous drive and is supported by
church, school, , labor and or-,
ganiZed peace. groups.

The idea “for a nation-wide peace
movement evolved @ 2 a conference

 

 

of peace leaders (at Buckhill Falls,
Pennsylvania, in..‘December, 1935.
After several succeeding conferences
a planned campaign was. launched full
force under the leadership of prdémi-
nent mem from all professions, pre-
senting as its purpose: (1) strength-
ening pacific alternatives to armed
conflict 7° (2) bringing about such po-
litical and economic changes as are
essential to a just and peaceable world
order; (8) recruiting and uniting in
a dynamic movement all organizations’
and individuals who are determined
not to approve of or participate in
war; (4) acquainting peace-minded
people with the program and policies
of the member- organizations of the
National Peace Conference and other
péace groups. |

Among the organizations which are
supporting the Campaign are the
American Friends’ Service Committee,
the Foreign Policy -Association, the
League of Nations Association; the ©
National. Boards of the YM. .C. A.
and the Y. W.:C. A., the American
League Against War and Fascism, the
American Student Union, the World
Peace Foundation, and the World Al-
liance for International Friendship
through the Churches.

The Campaign is at present pur-
suing a_ nation-wide neutrality pro-

‘|gram, headed by Charles P. Taft, II.
gish gleam came|The program, which will be continued

through February and March, stresses
the need and the costs of neutrality
legislation. On April 6, Admiral Byrd
will launch a no-foreign-war crusade

<|to increase the determination of the

American people to stay out of wars
in Europe and Asia through such
‘measures as the restriction of naval
and military policy to the defense of
the United States rather than to the
protection of investments, commerce
and, interests abroad.

AS ‘a ‘part ofthe neutrality pro-
Senators Gerald P. Nye of
North Dakota and James P. Pope of

tical Economics, Returning as fel-

she wrote a dissertation, an aspect of
one of them,.on the German philoso-
phers and in 1897 took her M.A. in
English. Work at the Collége de
France, done frankly for the pleasure
of listening to Gaston Pais, followed.
In the summer of 1898 she studied
Italian Renaissance painting in-
tensely in the galleries and libraries
of Italy. “In 1910, four years after
returning to Bryn Mawr, I. grew
weary of explaining sentence struc-
ture to young women and asked Miss
Thomas if I might give elective lec-

‘tures in art.”

The combined’ Department of Art
and Archaeology at that .time con-
sisted of two lecturers, one room in

_the top of Taylor containing two

cases of reproductions, one of Quat-
trocento Italian painting, the other
of Greek sculpture, and two lecture
courses in those. subjects. Soon
Gothic architecture ‘alternated with
Italian painting, and Miss King
turned from. correcting -English’ pa-
pers to lecturing in comparative li-
terature as the other half of her
activities. When in 1915 the popu-
larity of her art electives demanded
that Higgory of Art be made a full

major department, Miss King in-
sisted that oriental art be included.
Professors at Haryard and Princeton}

laughed at her for ,wanting to teach
this subject to undergraduates. But
Miss King persisted and: at last/ dis-
covered a young man at Princeton
who undertook to teach the/ course
four months later. Since -that time
art of*the far east has. beén a vital
unit here as in. all thorough-under-
graduate curricula, and George Row-
ley, the courageous “young man” has
achieved..wide distinction in the field.

It was on her sabbatical leave that
Miss King first visited Spain. In
1915 and again in 1917 the Hispanic
Society of America sent her back to
write The Way of «Saint. James, a
“nersonal history” of travel,
tecture, art,/ religious’ interpretation,
folklore’ and iconography of. Spain
chiefly in/ the Romanesque period.
This remains the author’s favorite
work, although others have included
writings on Mudéjar, Spanish Pre-
Romanesque, Sardinian, “Gothic, Ro-
manesque, Spanish and Italian art
and architecture, and on Italian and
Spanish itonograph¥ and saintly
legends. Miss King is’a correspond-
ing member of the Royal Gallegan
Society at Corinna. She is the only
woman member of this learned so-
ciety as well as of the Instituto de
Valentiade Don Juan in Madrid.

Two. years ago, speaking of Spain,
Miss King said: “Its black magic. is
still the most exciting thing in the
world to me. I.am a real Hispano-
phile. -I came there last and it still

Of Spain today: “I am completely
with the government and hope that
they shall win. It makes me nervous
when I see how long the war drags
‘ I could no more return
to Spain now than I could picnic on
the family graveyard.”

In Santiago on_ sabbatical leave a
year ago last November when she
was writing an article on Portugese
Romanesque, Miss King was taken
ill. She was obliged to take the first
boat home, unfortunately an Italian
liner.- In the midst: of the Italo-

thiopian crisis she wished to have

o dealings with Italians, but there
“was no-choice. For over a year Miss

King has been ‘living in Hollywood,
California, with her sister. When
she returns there néxt week it will
not be to leave Bryn Mawr for’ good.
In a year she hopes to return to live
here. “Somehow we all do
gravitate back. But it’s the
books that draw me back, I ‘should
never have devoted such care to the
books for the department all these
years if I hadn’t intended to ‘use them
all myself sometime. I have stored
in the village boxes of.Italian, Span-

ish and English classics all of Which)

I have taught at one time and now
intend to reread at my leisure. I
want, too, to return to Portugal to
complete a book on which I have not

‘enough_ notes.”

During the month in which she

ghas been’ on the campus, Miss ‘King
‘fas lectured to the first year class on
Caravaggio, Mattia di Preti pursuing

his ghostthrough,.Calabria_ and. even
to Matta, Giavanni ‘de Paolo, to: the
Art of the Far East class on The
Chinese Influence in Sienese Painting,
to the mediaeval~students:on Portu-
gese Romanesque.

Before her sabbatical, Miss’ King
had a great deal to do with the riew
construction plans for the fine arts
departments. -Of the possibilities of
a workshop she is hopeful, for she
has |éng hoped that every student
who cares for it.should have a chance
at pratical art work. The-~effect. of
this laboratory work will, of. course,
depend entirely, on the individual stu-
dents, but it will not change the his-
torical and iconographical approach.
“T have always stuck to the historical
method because no’ one can -under-
stand a subject unless he knows they
history that goes with it.’

Miss King feels that the studemit,
today knows much more when _ she
comes to. college than her predeces-
sors knew. The final examinations
are an excellent thing, but “the thing
I should think I would miss were I
going to teach more here, are those
people. who drift imto the first year
course just to see- what it is all about.
They have so often been a delight to
me and many of them have changed
their majors in their senior years,
which is, of course, impossible now.”

In speaking of the futility of
fascism as a panacea for the economic

Italian securities abroad ‘and using
the eapital as income. The standard
of living has lowered since 1922.

“Fascism,” said Mr. Slocombé, “is
an illusionary. moral discipline for
countries losing national prestige

contends that a.new ,gpirit of unity

Our primer drawing, of a bathroom

late wildly. Ten minutes later we
turn desperately to light conversa-
tion. Dan, it seems, works in a ga-
rage. He has been in America for
two. years, is never going ‘back to his
home and family in Italy, and ap-
proves of Mussolini. There is ap un-
comfortable pause, Then with a de-
termined attempt at gay banter we
say, “We were in: Italy last year.”
Dan’s face lights up unexpectedly.

“Yes, we wane to Rome and Flor-

“Firenze,” we say hopefully. *
" “Oh! Firenze, Fjgenze!” He beams
with joy. ;

“Yes, and Napoli, and Pisa, and Mi-
lano and Trieste ..-. And we learned
some Italian, too,—freddo, caldo, chi-
uso, aperto, piscina.” Dan laughs
happily; Americanization has suddenly
changed its character, and as far as
we are concerned, Italianization has
set in.

But we must not forget Mrs.
Kasher—Mrs. Kasher and her immor-
tal pun. She has the weight of years
upon her shoulders,. and the responsi-
bility of a growing child. She would
never willingly have descended to the
depths of pun-making, but she, too,
is in spirit a Mr. Kaplan. “Mrs.

the word ‘ancestor’? in a sentencé ?”

“Well,” she said slowly, “When you

Times Critic Attacks

 

Literary | Mind,
-“Bea-uty” Are Art Foes

cae

In an endeavor to create an audi-
ence for the modérn dance in Phila-
delphia, John Martin, dance critic of
the New York Times,
group at the Hotel Stephen Girard on

 

Thursday; February 18, under the

auspiees of the Art Alliance. Mr.
Martin declared he had no sympathy
for the term “modern dance.” The

dance grows-out of its time, wapbinei’

ment, and what is modern today is.

old-fashioned tomorrow.

‘In spite of the danger of treading
on people’s “pet toes,” Mr. Martin
discussed four general enemies of the
modern darice. The first was music.
People believe that to do “aesthetic
dancing” one must dance to classical
music. This is a misapprehension of
the ideas of Isadora Duncan.
needed classical music to dance. But
that music is not imperative for mod-
ern dancing. Musi ould be inci-

dental, an accompaniment and noth-

ing more. “If one has a clear impres-
sion of the music at a dance recital,”
said Mr. Martin, ‘one has not seen
the dance.” The second enemy is the
“literary mind.” The woman who
says, “It was very lovely, but what
did it mean?” One cannot: para-
phrase in words what is done in move-
ment. If it could be done, movement
would be irrelevant.

Self-expression, or exhibitionism,

is the third enemy. One dances not
to express oneself, but toxuse oneself
as a medium for expressing far
greater things. The fourth enemy is
“bea-uty, with the eyes rolled upward
—very spiritual, ‘but stewed down sex
appeal.” The modern dance is ugly,
but it ignores the surface and concen-
trates on the contest.
As to the function of=the—danee:
Mr. Martin explained that it is built
in terms of movement of the body.
There are two inspiratiorts for move-
ment, namely, a ‘desire for’ the
maintenance of harmony, and for the
increase of a state of harmony. In
response ‘to these impulses there are
three movements: toward a- pleasant
object to acquire it, away: from an
unpleasant object,
weaker object to destroy it.

After this preliminary discussion
Mr. Martin showed slides of the vari-

ous. present-day dancers, with a run-.

ning ‘comment on their style, technique
and aims,

Roosevelt Expresses to N. Y. A. Petitioners :

Hope for Permanent Federal Youth Aid|

 

“Sit-Down” Strike is Result of
Police Misunderstanding -
In Washington

 

(Especially contributed by Mary
Dimock,.’39, and Sylvia Wright, ’38.)

Friday, February 19, six members
of the A. S. U.—Annita Tuller, grad-
uate student; _ Sylvia Wright, “238;
Mary Dimock, ‘29; Mary - Riesman,
-°89; Emily Doak, ’39, and Marion
Greenbaum, graduate student — went
to Washington as delegates to the
American Youth Congress convention.
The purpose of the march on Wash-
ington was to discuss and demonstrate
for the passage -of the American

‘= Youth Act, which enlarges the pres-

ent National . Youth Administration
and makes it permanent. As well
as appropriating funds for govern-
ment scholarships and for the crea-
tion of jobs for young people in labor;
the act provides for vocational train-
ing schools for teaching various pro-
fessions. This project’ is to be di-
rected by:a board of nine members
appointed by the President, three of
whom are to be.chosen from labor,
three from the academic world,. and

three from social and educational}
work.
Friday was spent in visits to Qon-

gressmen in order to gain their en-
dorsement of the bill. A meeting of
the whole convention was held on
Friday evening during »which Con-
gressmen Lundeen, Maverick, Coffee
and Voorhis addressed the assembled
youth and encouraged them in their
efforts to pass the act. Morris Ernst,
eharter member of ‘the Lawyers’
Guild and author of “The Ultimate
Power,” discussed the early efforts: to
form the Constitution, and the Su-
preme Court, showing by historical
anecdotes the large part that indi-
vidual ambition and wishes had
played in determining the structure
of the Constitution and the persgnrel
of thg.Supreme Court. Speeches fwére
also made by the editor of the Union
News, the organ of the C. I. O., who
extended the greetings and support

of John L. Lewis; by John Davis, |-

president of the National Negro Con-
gress; and by Joseph Lash, secretary
of the American Students’ Union.
Saturday morning: the delegates to
the convention paraded along Penn-
sylvania Avenue to the White House
in order to present their petitions for
the passage of the bill to the Presi-
dent. The parade was extremely large
and was divided into regional sec-
tions, each delegate marching under
the banner in his state. The arrests
of two of the leaders of the. parade,
which has aroused more interest from
the :public than any other feature of
the .convention, were caused by mis-

understanding on the part of the po- |”

lice. When the leading section of the

parade reached the White House, the
leaders wished to wait until the _bear-
ers of the petitions, who. were about
a half a block away, came up to the

occurred at this point; the delegates,
who had stood and marched for al-

‘;most two hours, sat down on the curb

stone to wait for the petitions. The
two delegates who were arrested,
William H. Hinkley, chairman of. the
American )Youth Congress, and Ab-

‘hott Simon, legislative representative,

were bailed out in time to attend the
afternoon meeting and in time to see
President Roosevelt, who told the del-
egate that he had been arrested five
times in’one day in Germany. The
President did not commit himself
about the passage of the bill, but said
that he believed that the N. Y. A.
was a good thing and should: be ‘con-
tinued, that he hoped to receive more
funds for the N. Y. A. next year,
and that he hoped at some time to
establish some sort of permanent Fed-
eral aid for youth. A second meet-
ing was held on Saturday, February
20, at which the report of decision
of the President was made, and at
which various conditions and needs of
youth were discussed by the conven-

tion. Sunday was devoted to religious

services and committee meetings and
a meeting was held on Monday of the
National. Council of the American
Youth Congress. .

Current Events

(Gleaned from Dr:. Fenwick)
Even some normal supporters of
the President are attaching uncom-
fortable connotations to the proposed
legislation ‘concerning ~the Supreme
Court. However, no workable alter-

native has been presented and for this
reason. the bill will very likely be

 

“passed with minor, or “Ne, concessions

granted.

Alternatives offered, such.as that-of
Senators’ Wheeler‘and Bone that a
two-thirds’ vote of Congress shall
overrule a decision; of the Supreme
Court, are viewed by many as adding
another form of amendment to the
Constitution. Ahmost any amendment
that could be formulated would give
Congress too much power Mto permit
ratification within a reasonable length
of time by the states who would be
reluctant te surrendef their powers.
Many people fear. to see power trans-
ferred to Congress, assuming that it
will mean centralization, and not tak-
ing into account that centralization: of
power is.compatible with decentraliza-
tion of administration. ° Such is. the
case-with the Child Labor Amendment
proposed ten years ago and still
awaiting ratification.

The new neutrality proposal (prob-
ably to be christened the Pittman
Bill) manages to continue the legisla-
tion of the past two years without
facing realities.

by cutting off all arms,. ammunition

shipments of oil, wheat, cotton and
other raw materials which are really
the only commodities which such large
powers as Germany would care to buy:

The President’s' authority to shut
off ‘such trade at will is merely per-
functory and a. power which in all
probability”he would ‘hhever exercise.
This is explicable when: the seven bil-
lion dollar foreign credits built up
in this country (witness the recent
market spurt) are recalled. Not onl}
would such action of the President be
followed by the withdrawal of this

purchasing sum to other countriés,
‘but its consequent effect on the stock

market, coupled with the loss of trade

miniature panic.

More cheerful undertones may be
caught from: the direction. of Great

* As a means to promote a more well-
ordered, less-nervous undergraduate
life, Merion Hall has begun a Re-
laxation’ Library, to include light fic-
tion, good and bad, detective stories,
new and old, and trash. So’far they

off favorites, and the Hall soon hopes
to boast complete sets of such classic
authors as P. G. Wodehouse, Edgar

Not precisely in this category, but
rapidly beginning to ‘challenge its
popularity is the latest work of Doro-
thy. Sayers, that queen of detective
story writers. - Lord’ Peter Wimsey,
the sleuth who “is what Philo Vance
might have been,” encounters a corpse
in the basement of the house where
he has just begun his honeymoon and
proceeds to solve the crime. It would
be cheating to reveal any more of the
plot than this. Nevertheless, ‘those
followers of Petah and his romance
with Harriet Vane, which has been
slowly gathering fire since’ Strong
Poison, at least books ago, will

riage seems to be working out with
practically idyllic success. If Peter’s
urbahity, wit, physique and monocle
have been a romantic stimulus to the
hearts of his readers, they may be due
for a shock in Busman’s Honeymoon.
He is now’ thoroughly domesticated
and, moreover, so frank and analytical
in his discussion of ‘his: great love,
that the aura which was. lent him by
his English reserve is almost dissi-
pated. This is too bad; but Lord Peter
has become a real character in the

fascinating. Miss Sayers is, in the
real ability, if a little too addicted to
familiar quotations. It is ironic that
the same critics who dawned her early
attempts at serious novel writing now
damn her latest detective story for

interrupting the course of her roman-
tie narrative, which is excellent.
Another factor that adds to the in-

terest of Busman’s Honeymoon in the

eyes of Merion Hall is its current ap-
pearance in play form on the London
stage, where the part of Lord Peter is
taken by an actor who does not meas-
ure up at all in physical perfection
to the requirements of such an ‘heroic
role.. Rumor also hath it that Donald
