Conference Discusses Policy Of U.S. in Kast Problems and Objectives Important for Future Specially contributed by Betty Goldblatt, °51 When the second Student Con- ference on United States Affairs was being planned last Spring, no- body could have known how ex- - ceedingly timely it would turn out to be. From December 6 through 9, 150 seniors from 5i1 colleges and the Military and Naval Academies assembled to discuss “The Far Eastern Policy of the United States: Problems and Objectives of the 1950's.” Because last year’s forerunner conference showed that the eco- nomic, political, and strategic fac- tors in the formation of a foreign policy cannot. be considered inde- pendently of one another, this time we were divided instead according to geographical areas: Japan and Korea, China and Formosa, South- east Asia, and India and Pakistan. Nancy Blackwood, the other Bryn Mawr delegate, was on the China and Formosa panel, and I was on Japan and Korea. We were im- pressed with the factual informa- tion at the fingertips of the other delegates; with the unmilitaristic viewpoint of most of the cadets and midshipmen; with the unani- The News takes great pleas- ure in announcing the following elections: | Editor ........

Experts spoke to us, and served as chairman of the panels and as ‘advisers; we listened but did not feel obliged to agree. Because it was the week of the Atlee-Truman conference, Philip Jessup, the Am- bassador-at-large, could not ap- pear, and instead Dr. Edward Earle, Chairman of the School of International Relations at Prince- ton discussed the economic and po- litical facts of our Far Eastern policy; General Alfred Gruenther, Deputy Chief of Staff, gave us an estimate of the relative strengths of the Soviet and United States military power, on which to base discussion of strategic aspects of the area. Dr. John Masland of the National War College told us about the apparatus of the State De- partment for the formation of for- eign policy; Dr. George Millikan, consultant to the House Foreign Affairs Committee discussed the same problem with relation to Con- gress; Najeeb Halaby of the E.C.A. described the function of such au- Continued on Page 3, Col 2 All Source Reading f Causes Confusion Papers Need Only Cigarettes, Quotes A paper must have a beginning, a middle and an end.

A few quotes will suffice plus the definitions of the many unfamiliar words found in the Nuclear Energy Progress Shown To Science Club On Thursday, January 11, the Science Club presented a lecture by Dr. Robert A. Patterson, Assist- ant Director of the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Dr. Patter- son, who did research on X-rays at Yale, took his Ph.D. there, and was head of the Department of Physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Insti- tute from 1940-1946, worked as a staff member at the Radiation Lab- oratory, Cambridge. The topic of his lecture in Dalton was “Nuclear Energy at Brookhaven Labora- tory.” Brookhaven Laboratory was built on the site of Camp Upton, on Long Island, to satisfy the wish- es of University scientists for the production of radioactive mater- ials by nuclear reactors, which were too costly and too secret to be built on every one of the cam- puses wanting them. A number of universities banded together to form “Universities Inc.,” the non- profit organization which operates Brookhaven. The laboratory _is supported by government funds, and is dedicated to the develop- ment and utilization of atomic en- ergy. -Dr.. Patterson explained what is Continued on Page 6, Col. 4 Wootton to Talk For The Alliance The next Alliance assembly will be held on January 19, 1951 at 12:30 p. m. in Goodhart Hall. The speaker for the assembly will be Professor Barbara’ Wootton, who is well-known on both sides of the Atlantic as a writer and radio commentator on social legislation. Her topic of discussion will be Britain in the World Crisis, in which she will point out Britain’s obligations in the world today. Professor Wootton is a woman of many enterprises. She is Pro- fessor at London University as Chairman of the Department of Social ‘Sciences, Governor of the British Broadcasting Corporation, and Member of Royal Commission on the Press. She is also the au- chor of many books—Freedom Un- der Planning seems to be the most popular in the United States. It is also interesting to note that she was visiting Professor at Bryn Mawr College in 1987, and at Bar- nard and Columbia University in New York in 1949. She knows the United States well for she has lec- tured here before. All students are urged to attend what promises to be a:most intéresting lecture in the light of the international situation today. ~ uote. A thesaurus and a diction- -y (if you are not adept at defin- 1g) are sufficient references for ay paper. A few philosophic yvords of wisdom derived from ‘other’s warnings are an asset, or the professor will assume the _ student has a mature mind. For example: “The student has a mat- ure mind.” A student is one who learns. From this it can be deduct- ed that all students have wisdom; i.e. are wise. A student has a “ma- ture mind.” Mature is derived from the Latin “maturus” which means ripe. Ripe fruit is spicy. Therefore, a mature mind is spicy. In that case, a student is spicy. However, the student cannot in- ject spice into a paper for he can- not assume the professor has the same sort of spice that he possess. Professors do not always have the same sort of knowledge as stu- dents. From this, it is evident that students cannot please professors. Students are spicer than profess- ors, and therefore smarter.

Burton, As- ‘sistant Professor of Mathematics ‘at Bryn Mawr, discussed “Infinite | Classes.” After remarking that ‘there are class divisions. in all fields of study, Mr. Burton began his discussion of mathematical classifications. There is a one-one correspond- ence between the two classes A and B_ if to each element of A there corresponds exactly one ele- ment of B, and if to each element of B therecorresponds exactly one element of A. If A is equivalent to A, the correspondence is refiex- ive; if A is equivalent to B. and therefore B is equivalent to A, the correspondence is symmetric; and if A is equivalent to B, B is equivalent to C, and therefore A is equivalent to C, the correspond- ence is transitive. - A cardinal number is associated with each class in such a way that two cardinal numbers are the same if and only if the two classes are equivalent.

NSA Distributes Discount Cards To BMC Students Specially contributed by Ronnie Gottlieb, ’53 The National Student Associa- tion Student Discount.- Service Cards soon will be sold to Bryn Mawr students for five cents apiece. All money collected will go tovthe D. P. scholarship fund. These cards were ordered from the NSA by the Undergraduate Council to serve a dual purpose. They are to be used as Bryn Mawr student identification cards, for instance, in theatres: and: ho- ‘tels, and they are, at the same time, to obtain nation-wide dis- counts on student purchases in all NSIA contracted stores. In the near future, individual catalogues listing these stores will be distributed to cardholders. Thus, not only will card holders obtain benefits for which the Penn- sylvania NSA has arranged in this area, but while visiting in any city or college community any place in America, they may con- tinue to buy more economically. For instance, if you live in New York, you can use your card in stores there during all vacations; while you..are.here, the Philadel- phia stores are open to you. The NSA Student Discount Ser- vice is the substitute for the old NSA Purchase Card _ system, which had certain features objec- tionable to Bryn Mawr, and many other schools. It exists as anoth- er example of students working together on a national level to im- prove their conditions. NSA in the preamble to its constitution states its desire “to guarantee to all people, because of their inher- ent dignity as individuals, equal rights and possibilities for prim- ary, secondary, and higher educa- tion, regardless of sex, race, relig- Continued on Page 5, Col. 3 Dean’s Eye View Tallies Torments According to Mrs. Marshall, there are three ways to take an examination. Speaking at the Wednesday morning assembly on January 10, she said that students may (1) study, take the exam nat- urally, and leave; (2) join the “They Must See How I Suffer” school, characterized by dirty hair, no lipstick, and gloom; (8). join the “Gaily I Shall Rise Above It” school. This last group will be recognized by three battle cries: “Who wants to play bridge?” “I haven’t opened a book!” “Anybody for the movies?” Students wishing to join these last two groups had better do 30 before exam time, be- cause they take up a good deal of one’s time. (More seriously, Mrs. Marshall recommended that students decide on the main point of the profes- sors’ courses before they go into the exam rooms. Once there, they should read the questions with ex- treme care, and ration the time. She also suggested fresh air, food, and most important, sleep, as a panacea for exam worries. Vining Tutors Crown Prince In Democracy Defeated Japan Needs Manufactures Market Mrs. Elizabeth Gray Vining, '23, spoke in the Dorothy Vernon Room of the Deanery on January ninth. Mrs. Vining, a member of the Board of Directors of the college, had just returned from a four year job tutoring the Crown Prince of Japan. First Mrs. Vining anticipated our questions and teld how she got the job, following a visit to Japan by the American Educational Mission. The Emperor had asked Dr. Stod- dard for an American tutor for the Crown Prince, and suggested that it be a woman (the specified age of fifty was ignored by the mission) who was a Christian but not a fan- atic, and who spoke no Japanese. In making this request the Emper- or broke tradition, for the Crown Prince’s education had always been: in the hands of a group of cham- berlains. Mrs. Vining was then working for the Friends’ Service Committee, and planning to write a book, and agreed to take the job only if she were sought out. Of the: names suggested, however, hers: was one of the two sent to the Jap- anese, who were to make the final decision. The military occupation was at first doubtful, but Mrs. Vin- ing insists that. the Emperor.was sincere in his desire for the Crown Prince to learn English and West- ern customs. This brought her to the question: “What do you think of the Crown Prince?” “He is a very nice boy,” she assured us. When she first met him, he was not quite thirteen, little, chubby, and childish. He has since grown slender, very poised, and charming. “His mind is matur- ing delightfully” and he is “intel- lectually honest.” He doesn’t pre- tend to understand anything that is not clear to him, which was a great help when he learned English by the all-English method. His in- terests, chiefly in marine biology, have widened to include archaeol- ogy and history, languages, and poetry, as well as athletics. At first Mrs. Vining had an hour of private lessons each week, but this was extended to three regular hours and informal meetings. One hour, devoted to English, was chap- eroned at first, but the Prince made greater progress after the chamb- erlains left. During another hour the Prince, and later a few friends, went to Mrs. Vining’s house to study and have tea. Mrs. Vining also taught the Prince’s class at the Peers School, which is now like any private school except that the children of the Imperial Family still attend it. The Crown Prince was at his best with other boys, she said, and got along well with them. For the first time in history, when they were staying at a mountain resort, he spent a night in the home of a friend with none of his retinue ex- cept a bodyguard. At other times they went on picnics with boys Continued on Page 4, Col. 3 Page Two THE COLLEGE NEWS Wednesday, January 17, 1951 aE ——<«, THE COLLEGE NEWS ~FOUNDED EN 1914 Published weekly during the College Year (except during Thanks- giving, Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examination weeks) the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Ardmore Printing Company, Ardmore, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College.

Be- causes classes end January 19, the students have less than two weeks in which to write papers, study for senior quizzes, and do the necessary reading. Although some work may be done during vacation, we cannot be expected to spend all our time studying; and even the most conscientious of students have a certain amount of work to accomplish before the end of the semester. Because the length of time between the be- ginning and the end of classes is short, the unfortunate pres- sure that always exists at the end of the semester is brought to a much greater intensity than usual. Besides the academic reasons, there are other arguments to combat a schedule similar to the one of 1950-51. This year, there was very little time for Christmas shopping, for one day can hardly be considered as sufficient, nor for the cus- tomary pre-Christmas festivities. Furthermore, most of our contemporaries at home returned to college long before we left. The schedule for next year, as it now stands, is practi- cally identical to the one we are experiencing. It can be changed, however, by a petition signed by enough students ‘gand submitted to the scheduling committee of the faculty. ‘This would have to be done soon, before the plan for next year is irrevocably decided. If a satisfactory schedule could be agreed upon, submitted, and passed, much of the incon- venience which we are at present undergoing could be avoid- ed. Mrs. Slade Mrs. Caroline McCormick Slade, vice-chairman of the board of directors of Bryn Mawr College since 1935, died on January 12. Born in Paris, Mrs. Slade devoted her major ac- tivities to-the fields of social and civic welfare. Besides her position at Bryn Mawr, she was also president of the Nation- al American Women’s Suffrage Association, a member of the Hoover European Relief Council, a vice-chairman of the Unit- ed Service Organizations, and founder of the National Lea- gue of Women Voters. At Bryn Mawr, Mrs. Slade was chairman of a great many fund raising campaigns the college has conducted since 1902. In 1949, the Caroline McCormick Slade Department of Po- litical Science was established at Bryn Mawr in her honor. : We are proud of her achievements. |tional unity which it had to a Current Events Common Room, ” Monday, Janu- ary 15, 7:15 p. m. Mrs. Manning’s topic was the President’s State of the Union Message which, a little late this year, was not delivered until January 8. The aim of the Presidential mes- sage was to portray the present peril of communism and to call for national cooperation to meet the danger. This calls for national unity and the elimination of par- tisanship. Using this as a starting point, Mrs.- Manning went on to consider and analyze the situation of the United States politically and dip- lomatically as it is affected by the levents of the world today. In the first and second World Wars the United States owed .a great part of its strength to na- greater degree than any other country except Germany.

Fuddl- ing the brain with prolific reading on philosophy, literature, or his- tory is most undesirable, and only necessitates wasting time with footnotes. Rather one should ‘clear one’s mind by a brisk walk of a short duration. One in the direc- unity was “something of a mir- acle.”’ - At the beginning. of the second World War, on the other hand, Roosevelt was considerably more interested in, world affairs than | Wilson; had been, but. the political ,feelings of the country obliged | him to hold “his rand. If it had not /been for Pearl Harbor, he probably | never would have overcome the op- position to war. Even today, the country as a whole is united in the desire to stop communist aggression. There are, in spite of the great fuss be- ing made, remarkably few com- munists in the country. _Until the outburst in Korea there. was not much organized opposition (aside from the Chicago Tribune) to Tru- man’s Asiatic policy. The real source of disunity comes from dis- agreement as to means, not the end of stopping communist ag- gression. The danger of the present sit- uation lies-in the return to isola- tion. ‘Europe may, in remember- ing our desertion of the League of Nations in 1920 and our precipita- tion of a world wide economic de- cline by the depression of 1929, be inclined to fear our return to iso- lation. It is necessary to realize that the present dilemma is a result of failure of our Korean policy. How- ever, we should not be as concern- ed about the Asiatic situation as about the European one, the dan- ger of which is far greater. Should the Russian army, which we have reason to believe is already fully trained, gain control of western Germany, it would also gain con- trol of the valuable and essential industry of the Ruhr. This would endanger our industrial suprem- acy. Yet, if we arm the Germans to defend the Ruhr, Russia has threatened to strike at once. The crux of the problem now is to try to read the minds of the men in the Kremlin. The present division of opinions is based to some extent on a different inter- pretation of Russian policy. One group, of whom Winston Churchill is perhaps the most vocal, main- tains that only fear of the Atom bomb has prevented Russia from striking at Europe in the last five years. The alternate theory, with which Mrs. Manning agrees, is that the Russians would prefer not to go to war because they believe that communism will conquer the world through revolution. There is no real reason why the situation in China or Korea should have chang- ed the Russian policy, since com- tion of the ville, stopping in +o catch the latest or oldest movie, is an, excellent way to fulfill this ‘re- quirement. Not only does the stroll | do one good, but observations on writing technique gleaned from the dialogue would be most help- ful.

LAST NIGHTERS W.P. Decides US Should Silvana Mangano Acts | In ‘Bitter Rice’ Superbly By Jane Augustine, ’52 Bitter Rice is an Italian film about the hundreds of women who go yearly as migratory labor into the rice-fields to work for forty days at the backbreaking task of gathering, hulling, and re-planting the rice—a job which must be done entirely by hand. Where so many women go, there men go also; this story concerns two women in par- ticular, and one man.

Bryn Mawr’s “The Night” adapted from a pass- age of the Koran was the only dance drama, the others being mostly folk and abstract material.

Each round table met for a total of about fifteen hours of discussion and argument, and some of the sections even had after-hours ses- sions. Then on Saturday afternoon we met in plenary session to hear the reports of the panels: what long- and short-range programs they thought the United States should follow in the respective areas. All four reports agreed 9n two points; that although we must pursue a firm and consistent pol- icy in the Far East, Europe is and should be our primary area of con- cern; and that the objectives of any foreign policy must be Peace, Freedom, and Security. Substan- tial agreement was also found in the idea that we must not oppose a nation simply because its ide- ology differs from ours (e.g. Yugo- slavia), but should oppose only those nations who commit aggres- sion or who try to effect changes by other than peaceful means. It was considered essential that we act through and with the United Nations whenever possible; but there was disagreement as to how much we should allow ourselves to be restrained by inability to reach decisions there. The more specific conclusions of one panel were often inconsistent with those of another. The Japan and Korea group proposed that Ja- pan be encouraged and aided to become economically self-sufficient, by reestablishment of her merchant marine, by the revival of light in- dustry and by “not opposing the revival of some heavy industry” (one of many compromise phrases which actually meant entirely dif- ferent things to different people), by continuance of financial aid, by encouraging reciprocal trade agree- ments especially with the agrarian nations of Southeast Asia and with India, by encouraging exchanges of personnel and information. Politically, it was agreed that we should ‘encourage a “stable, friendly, non- aggressive govern- ment of the Japanese’s: own choos- ing” and should gradually decrease the.occupational controls. It was felt that negotiations for a peace treaty should continue, and that the Japanese people should be rep- resented in such deliberations, but there was a split as to whether signing it now and ceasing the oc- cupation would be consistent with United States security at the pres- ent time. It was unanimously ‘agreed that no reparations should | be extracted, but that base rights and right of transit should be re- tained. Other than that, Japan should have her four main islands, there was no agreement possible as to how many, if any, of her for- mer possessions, such as the Bonin and Ryukyu Islands should be left to her. Somewhat inconsistent- ly, the report provided that the treaty should prohibit any con- flicting treaties; and then went on to say that although it should be multi-lateral, if the Soviet Union will not sign, it should go into effect nonetheless. In discussing the question of Korea, it was accepted that the United States “should remain in Korea if the price is not excessive, consistent with the fact that we consider Europe our major immedi- ate concern.” This again was an accord on phraseology only, for the group was split as to whether the price is, and will continue to be, excessive. There was agreement Continued on Page 4, Col. 1 Between the Leaves Gilbert’s Translation On Hitler Hailed As Unique Specially Contributed by Stephen Joseph Herben Hitler Directs His War, trans- lated and annotated by Felix Gil- bert, Oxford University Press, New York, 1950, is one of the most extraordinary and valuable books'| that has come out since the defeat | |Rudolf Bing, is still one of the of Germany.

A series of these constitute the materials from which this book is derived. -Much has been written and said about the Tapetfresser by those who were intimately associated stenographic transcripts with him, or who fought against, ‘ ‘ re-examinati iod i ing: him, but nowhere can one obtain | P amination period is amazing; so direct and reliable a view of what manner of person he was or of how he dominated his admirals and old marshals. The protocols here translated cover 1943 and 1944 with three of the next spring, so that the reader is present at con- ferences which involve’ great changes in the fortunes of war for the Nazis. Throughout there is plentiful evidence of Hitler’s per- petual interference in matters of strategy and tactics and of his cynical distrust of his generals. Ti- rades are not infrequent and are sometimes vulgar and savage. His contemptuous diatribe at von Paul- us for having surrendered at Stal- ingrad instead of committing sui- cide is illustrative. That he was vindictive is only too evident. Four’events of major importance take place during the period cover- ed by these records, the fall of Mussolini, the invasion of North Africa, the attempt at assassina- tion, and-the collapse of the East- ern front. Of the war in the west and. the retreat of German forces from’ France there is less report, but.one’ has a feeling that there was an unawareness of the impend- ing disaster to German arms and little eognizance of the actual sit- uation. Hitler’s vengeance on those | ‘who opposed him is only too well known, but it is illuminating, if unedifying, to read what’ he had to say about Rommel, for example, or von Kluge. It would be an error to suppose that this book is entirely a reflec- tion of Schickelgruber. The Fuehr- er is the dominant person but the cast is large. Professor Gilbert has given a list of the participants in the conferences and when it is re- called that there usually were some ‘twenty present, it is understand- able that the list should be long. The great majority are from the general staff and the astonishing thing is that differences in opinion are very nearly wanting when Hit- ler is involved. The title is well chosen: this is Hitler directing his war. Those who are interested in the history of the second irruption of German armed forces in the twen- tieth century can, by grace of this book, be present at the actual head- quarters of Nazi power and wit- ness the processes by which that relentless infliction of will was op- erated. It does not explain all that the reader may wish to have ex- plained, but it will describe and he may draw his own inferences. He will agree that it is required read- ing. its novel effects, however—one planned and one unforeseen. The latter was the replacement of Rise Stevens who was ill, by Jarmila Novatna, to sing Octavian, the former was the casting of Helen Traubel to sing the Marschallin. | Traubel, in spite of doubts to be’ had over her ability to fulfill the | dramatic requirements of the part, came through magnificently. Step- Observer The difference between a pre- vacation period and a post-vacation the change is so marked and com- plete. Before vacation groups of girls sit gossiping in the smoker over after-dinner coffee, leaning back with looks of great expectation on their faces. “I just can’t wait ¢ get home. Such-and-such is having a party and I hope to heaven so- and-so asks me to go.” “We’re go-| ing skiing in Colorado and I have-!| n’t been skiing in so long.” “He asked me to see that new musical with him and I just can’t wait.” Such are the general comments and the general atmosphere. They just can’t wait. When the 1:09 leaves that Friday, there is a mass migra- tion. After vacation the girls crawl back slowly one by one, as dark. | ‘ness closes in late on a Sunday evening. There js little comment, | except to best friends, and even that is ‘limited. They sit in the smoker with tired, white faces and | a dejected’ look. “Oh, what a tre- | mendotis vacation!” “Oh, how I hated to come back!” “Just think | . we’ve exams coming up and 1! haven’t begun my reading.” There is little conversation and in a few days ‘reluctant text books begin to appear as the hall settles back | to work. Metropolitan Opera Com-. “| she played her ping out from her static Wagner- jian roles, she seemed freed from | any constraint that these might | have put upon her, and moved with lightness and vivacity during the evening. : | ' In the first act, when she plays the part of a Rococo lady, she made Octavian’s love for her 'be- lievable, and her entrance and ac- tions in the third act were perfec- tion. Dressed in a long flowing red gown, and wearing a lavish plumed hat, she seemed almost slim, and carried herself with a dignity and grace befitting the Princess von Werdenberg she por- trayed. Vocally, of course, she was without reproach. Her aria in the first act, “Da geht ihr hin”, when she mourns: her lost youth, was beautifully sung, as were all her other arias throughout the opera. Der Rosenkavalier was also en- hanced iby a new German soprano, Erna Berger, who sang Sophie. |This young woman seemed to laugh at the difficulties of the role, and sang effortlessly and master- fully through the evening. Her aria, “Wo war ich?”, sung with Octavian, can only be said to have been superb. Starting with a pi- anissimo which was easily heard in the fourth balcony, she increas- ed to a forte which she held in a manner defying her small frame and holding the audience spell- bound. Her voice was not only technically fine, but it contained warmth and purity which made it |a pleasure to hear, Dramatically, part very well, | portraying a sweet and tender So- phie. The other principals, Baron Ochs and Octavian were highly compe tent. Baron Ochs, sung by Fritz Krenn, was delightfully coarse and comic, while Octavian, sung by Jarmila Novatna, was suitably ro- mantic and mannish. Novatna oc- _asionally seemed unsure of her- self, stalking about the stage as a masculine Mariandel, and one ‘missed the certainty that Rise Ste- vens gives to the role, but she sang adequately and blended very well with Traubel and Berger. | The principals were supported > by a large and admirably chosen ‘cast, who fulfilled their roles ex- traordinarily well. The two Ital- ian spies were suitably sly, and von Faninal was appropiiately ar- rogant. Kurt Baum, who sang the tenor aria in the first act, delivered the song with a flourish that only Continued on Page 4, Col. 5 Rare Whitman Volumes Add Interest: . Now Displaved in B. M. College Library by Claire Robinson, 54 The Rare Book Room of the M. Carey Thomas Library is of special interest these days, for there is on display a collection of manuscrip*s of particular interest to those who know the elusive poet of the middle 1800’s, Walt Whitman. The books in this collection include not only early publications of Whitman’s own works—many of them first editions—but also books from his private collection, annotated by the poet. The books in the collection were given to Bryn Mawr on June 5, 1950, by Julie Harned Pardie, ’39, and Louise Harned, ’50, both of whom are’ granddaughters of Thomas B. Harned, one of the three literary executors for Walt Whit- man. Of the present Harned callec- tion, 37 manuscript notebooks have been given to the Library of Con- gress, and the remainder, books from Walt Whitman’s own library, are now the property of the Bryn Mawr College Library. There is a letter in the collection, telling how the famous Leaves of Grass came into being. Written by another of Whitman’s literary executors, the letter states that Whitman had! | said, shortly before his death, “T1’ll kick the bucket before long, and . you fellows will have charge of things.” These “things,” later to be Leaves of Grass, were first pub- lished in 1899, and titled simply, Notes and Fragments. The edition preface states: “The notes printed in this volume came into the hands of the publishers in scrapbooks and in bundles . . . loose sheets and small pieces of paper of endless sizes, shapes and descriptions— some even written on scraps of wall paper.” Among the books which were Whitman’s own there are titles such as: Greece, Ancient and Mod- ern; Essays—Speculative and Sug- gestive; The Duties of Man; and several volumes of Shelley and Tennyson. There is one long pass- age carefully marked by Whitman in the volume of The Duties of Man which may be a revelation of Whit- man the poet and the man. It reads: “It is’ possible to attain such an exalted pitch of wisdom and virtue that the soul escapes the condemnation of existence and merges its individuality with the universality of the world soul.” Page Four THE COLLEGE NEWS Wednesday, January 17, 1951 Full Mobilization Disfavored At Conference; Aid To Chinese Nationalists Urged By Panel Continued from Page 3 that the most desirable solution would be a negotiated settlement; that we should not condemn com. promise as appeasement; that we ‘could win in Korea and still losa ‘out in the long run. If no agree- ment could be reached with the Chinese Communists, an embargo on trade with China was considered justified; but it was not felt that the use of Nationalist troops was advisable, although a majority did provide. that the field commander should have the power to make the decision to do so. The Asiatic war should be localized; but it could not be agreed whether the risk of spreading it should deter us from strategic bombiny outside of the territorial limits of Korea. Our ultimate aim in Korea should be to establish a free and independent nation, but whether we should try to re-invade if we were completely thrown out was thought to depend upon the situation elsewhere in the world at the time, as well as developments within Korea itself. The China-Formosa group wished to “encourage the develop- ment of a government in China which will be stable, and friendly to the U.S.,” and to encourage eco- nomic self-sufficiency in Southeast Asia. Somewhat unrealistically, it wanted to “aid the nationalistic elements of China as opposed to the Cominform elements,” “encour- age the dissemination of accurate information about the aims and motives of the United States,” and “re-emphasize .. . its warning to the Chinese Communists not to ex- pand territorially beyond the fron- tiers of China.” More specifically, it favored support of the U.N. resolutions concerning aggression in Korea; the attempt to negotiate a settlement; and non-opposition to the admission of Communist China to the U.N. if it accepts the resolutions concerning Korea. It begged the question of Formosa by saying that we should abide by any decision of the U.N., but not saying what policy we ought to support while the decision is being made. It was urged that regard- less of the situation politically and militarily, we ought to show as friendly an attitude as possible in order not to alienate the Chinese people, and should for example send food to alleviate famine con- ditions. This was opposed by other groups, who asserted that it is folly to feed those whom you are fighting. The Southeast Asia panel felt that the basis of any policy there should be the encouragement of|| “legitimate national aspirations”; that is, the support of those groups which have the backing of the masses of the people rather than Complete line . of FLORENTINE LEATHER WALTER COOK those which oppose the prevalent nationalism and submit to colonial domination. We should give finan- cial and technical aid to the under- developed Philippines, Burma, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaya. As for Indo-China, it was agreed that we should aid Laos and Cam- bodia; but. that we could not con- sistently support either the French puppet Bao Dai or Ho Chi Minh, the leader of the nationalist and Teacher Learns, Tells Attitudes of Japanese Continued from Page 1 from the Village. The Prince was “like a favorite nephew,” Mrs. Vining said. “He was interested in everything, ate everything,” and spent his spare time reading a translation of Gone With the Wind, Mrs. Vining added that at one time or another she had taught every member of the Imperial fam- ily except the emperodr. The Em- press learned English, and talked Communist groups. A strong mi- nority drew a parallel between ' what is happening in Indo-China and what. occurred in China; this group urged that we give support, at least nominally, to Ho Chi Minh, | so that if (and perhaps “when”) the nationalist element wins, it will not turn to the Soviet Union and become a puppet government, be- cause of the former opposition of the United States and the help of the Soviet Union. In other words, it was felt that we should not sup- port indiscriminately any govern- ment or ruler just becase he is anti-Communist; but this view was by no means unanimous. The India-Pakistan group was the least controversial, and devoted the body of its report to a state- ment of the exact problem there: the intense nationalism of both nations, with the religious compli- cations; the terrible economic con-' ditions, which makes this one non- crisis area in Asia a possible future ground for Communism, because of its appeal to the hungry and il- literate masses. It was thought that we should help and cooperate with both nations and leave such internal matters as the Kashmir dispute to either the two countries themselves or to the U.N., although we should certainly encourage neacef'1l settlement. In general, the delegates were sober and even worried, more so than those last year, according to our hosts at West Point—which seems natural in light of the changed international situation; there was little respect for fight- ing for prestige per se; fear lest we “save our face and lose our necks”; and unanimous agreement that the United States must build up its military potential as rapidly as possible, although “total mobili- zation” was favored by only a few. This military potential must be amassed in the event of another outbreak similar to that in Korea, perhaps in Germany or Yugoslavia. The possibility of war with the Continued on Page 5, Col. 1 is somebody’s birthday Send Flowers JEANNETT’S ‘4with Mrs. Vining about the Prince, since the Imperial family lives in separate houses and gets together only over weekends. As an added part of the educational plan, two members of the family came to her house each week to study English and have tea, and she even taught two uncles of the Prince, who wanted practice in conversation. Turning from the Imperial Fam- ily to the Japanese in general, Mrs. Vining said that democracy is be- ing practiced by some, especially the young. The future and future economic conditions will determine democracy’s place in Japan. Japan must have markets for manufact- ures if she is to pay for the neces- sary food and raw material im- ports. Moreover, we must not draw her into a war with Russia as a military ally, if we would have her as an ideological ally in the East. Finally Mrs. Vining said that she felt appreciated, and that she had certainly gained much from her work. People everywhere thanked her, and after her contract ended on October fifteenth she stayed on}. for six weeks of solid appreciation, including a two-weeks’ tour of Kyushu and countless parties. “I had received so much more than I had given that it made me feel ashamed,” she insisted. Every- where there was complete co-oper- ation, everyone was friendly, and there was the opportunity to learn about a new country and civiliz- ation. She received all kinds of help in learning, and even had the du- bious honor of being the first per- son to shoot some dangerous rap- ids in the dark, for her host explained that he wanted her to have the “best time possible.” She saw, too, what a country could do with defeat. The Japanese have ac- cepted defeat, and are analyzing their mistakes and planning for the future. There is no bitterness from the war or the atom bombs, and she feels this is genuine and not just a front, for even the child- ren are friendly.

Taft and the mid-western senat- ors, counting on there being no war before 1952, are opposing the use of American troops in Europe and are looking toward the next elections to try to end Democratic power. Dewey and Dulles, on the other hand, are backing the ad- ministration in their plan for an international army. Truman’s message was “perhaps more remarkable for its omissions than for what it said.” He did not mention the Taft-Hartley Bill, perhaps due to the fact that Taft carried Ohio. This seems to indi- cate that the workers of Ohio do not agree with John L. Lewis that they have been reduced to slavery. Truman also did not mention civil rights. This is because Truman and his advisors are making a bid for the southern Democrats. They have, apparently, been successful.

He evades her plea, but persuades her, in his own smooth way, to break the dikes and thus destroy the newly plant- ed fields so that the trucks carry- ing stolen rice can escape in the confusion. Francesca knows the clever deceitfulness of her former lover, and corners him with Sil- vana, whom she only pities, in the butcher shop. The tragic climax is reached in a gristly setting of hung sides of beef as Silvana, with Vanni wounded beside her, his gun in her hand, hears Francesca’s voice echoing across the refriger- ated room. She hears that the dia- mond necklace she ‘'wears—her wedding present—had been given to her because it was junk—and she takes the only way out of the situation.
