_ Resolutions. Results?
If Mr, Hughes had had time when he
read the Bryn Mawr Resolutions for
Disarmament he might have smifed. He
might have been mildly ‘amused to think
how surprised we were going to be two
days later when we found ourselves get-
ting what we asked. for.
e What we asked for was “immediate
action by the United States delegates
toward the limitation of armaments, and

' toward the adjustment , of those ques-,

tions in the Far East which are re-
garded as possible _causes of conflict in
the future.”

The Conference was opened with ac-
tion toward the limitation of armaments
so immediate that the startled world is
just getting back its breath. On Satur-
day Mr. Hughes made his proposal that
Japan, Great Britain, and the United
States—should—-scrap sixty-six. capital
fighting ships and observe a naval holi-
day of ten years. On Tuesday Great
Britain and Japan accepted the proposa
for discussion and a resolution was in-
troduced into Congress for stopping
work on nine battleships and six cruisers.
On Wednesday China made -ten pro-
posals relating to. her territorial integ-
rity, and ‘protesting against the Angleo-
Japanese Alliance, the Lansing-Ishii
agreement and the secret treaties of 1917
concerning Shantung, all of which were
cheerfully accepted for discussion by.
Japan on Saturday. On Saturday, too,
Great Britain. ceased construction. on
four battleships.

Although, as the New York Times an-
nounces, the conference is “slowing up,”
there. is no reason to believe that the
United States delegates will not continue
their action for the immediate limitation
of armaments as earnestly and effectively
as they have begun. The eho of

this week.

But there was a third point in the
Bryn Mawr resolutions, and ig thousands
of the resolutions showered upon Wash-
ington this fall, for ‘which the confer-

“ence has not -yet -provided an answer.
The question of the control of -world,

peace by an international court of jus-
tice, or an. association of nations is still
in the offing. _When it comes up, as it
inevitably will with the consideration of
- land disarmament, we shall have a real
test of the administration’s willingness
‘ ¢o be guided by public opinion. Cloak-
ing their purpose under the safer term

@ association, the American people have

swung back to the idea of the, League.

An Appeciation

We feel that 1924 cannot be too highly
“commended for giving up their flowers. at
Sophomore play in the interest of the
European Student. Relief. Their sacrifice
Was timely and splendid—another proof,
that our generation has not lost its capacity
for self-denial since the war. In giving up
flowers—“half the fun of a play’—they not
only contributed substantially to the Stu-
dents’ Fund, but they made a gesture of
friendship which is gloriously to. their,
credit.

“* F z
Man More or Less!

»

As a sagacious undergraduate once re-|,

marked, “every man that comes to Bryn
Mawr is a lover for no one but a lover
would come.” For the treatment he suffers
is little short of .brutal; in the first place

there is nothing to do with him but put

him in the showcase, which is exactly what
the name implies, or lead him over the
campus where every window is filled with
gaping danisels in various stages of des-'
habile, who do not hesitate to make ‘caustic
remarks .that are as embarrassing | as
audible, ot

Something is undoubtedly wrong at the
college where a man is regarded as nothing |.
but a freak; for without adopting: the
Lady’s Home Journal or Youth Compan-
ion’s attitude toward “the opposite sex” no
one can deny that they are “healthy, norm
and stimulafing companions.”

Bryn Mawr has always tried to be a
leader; she stood for suffrage, women’s
rights.and emancipation in their day: Now,
to quote the New York Times, “feminine
defiance and independence are antique, and

-the vine-is again ready to cling to the oak,”

and we must not be in the rear. «
Perhaps eventually she will reach the

middle course and a golden time come when

men -visitors are neither freaks nor heroes.

. Oxygen for Sundays

Is the open air tabooed at Bryn Mawr
on Sundays? Perhaps not; yet a ‘question
such’ as this can be answered in no other
way than by observed facts, and these facts
go to prove that no matter how much time
may be spent in out-of-door sports during}
the week, on Sundays athletics of any sort
are banned. Finding no-means for’ health-
ful recreation it is hardly to be wondered
at that” so many fritter away the better
part of the day in gossip, breakfast parties
and teas, mainly because people must re-
lieve the monotony of the day and find no
other way of doirig it. Riding is an ex-
ception to this, yet it is not open to every-
one because it entails expense.and a cer-.
tain knowledge of horsemanship. Is there
any reason that this opportunity should be
open only to the lucky few and that ‘the

-less fortunate ' should not be. able to in-

in tennis or other unorganized

dulge
sports?

SEES SEED OF FUTURE WAR IN °
CAUCASIAN RULE OF WORLD



“Make Abolition of Wars Guiding Star in
Politics,” Mrs. Catt Begs

“In all the world’s history nothing so
striking has-been done as: our nation’s offér
to scrap millions of dollars’ worth of un-
built ships,” Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt
declared in Taylor Hall last Thursday eve
ning. This lecture on “International Poli-
cies” was the fourth of a series of five
lectures on political’ subjects given under
the Anna Howard Shaw Foundation. —

“The seed of the next war lies in the
‘fact that one-sixth, of the population of
the world controls five-sixths.” ‘Tilustrat-
ing her points with maps, Mrs. Catt showed
how, through all the course of history, “the
ubiquitous Caucasian had everywhere staked
his claims for posterity’ until he now con-
trols an overwhelmingly large portion of
the world. “The-ext step in human evol
tion must result from the contest betwe
Caucasian and Asiatic races.” Control and
vision and the spirit of co-operation must
shape our international policies if we are to
avoid deadly enmity with these ‘colored
races, Mrs.'Catt declared. “If wars are to
end there must be behind. every measure
for peace the same press of public opinion
that backs the Washington Conference.
Popular opinion hag, made every delegate
there realize that his welcome home de-
pends on his backing radical measures to
limit arms. ;

“Let abolition of wars be our guiding
star .in politics,” said. Mrs, Catt. “From
the little election districts the movement
must come, The voté has the power to re-
make the world. J hope that women will
use their votes to end war.”

COMMUNITY CENTER RECEPTION
MARKS SPENING FOR WINTER

Mawr and Preston Community Centers,
was introduced to the people of Bryn
Mawr at a reception given last Tuesday
evening. Elizabeth Hobdy,* ’22, who
played the steel guitar; Helen Rice, yy
playing the violin, and a double male
quartet furnished a musical. program.
Mr. Hamlin introduced Miss Hutton, and
after Miss Hutton’s reply, refreshments
were served and music for dancing was
provided.

College students this yeag will be as-
sistants in the clubs, working under a

sident of Bryn Mawr. This new ar-
eae was necessary, Miss Hutton
explained, because the College vacations
proved a serious interruption to the work‘
of clubs led entirely by College students.
In addition to strengthening the clubs
started last year the night schools for
foreigners will be reopened if possible.

“The children are clamoring for story
hours,” Miss Hutton said, and added that.
there would be need for student workers
in these. Both at’Preston and Bryn
Mawr the libraries are busy. The col-
ored adults are running their clubs in-
dependently this year at Preston, having
the use of the reading room for one
2 ‘week™ind part of another.

. Owing to the lack of funds, Miss Hut-
ton and Mrs. Dillworth, the Preston
worker, are the only Community. Center
workers this year, x

_ DR. RUFUS JONES SPEAKS ON
‘ INVISIBLE MORAL FORCES
» “God cannot be found in masses of
atoms and velocities but where spirit
meets with spirit,” according to Dr.
Rufus Jones, the president of the Board
of Directors, in chapel on Sunday night.

“We have millionaires who could buy
the kingdom of Israel and not feel it;
office buildings higher than the pyramids
or‘the tower of Babel,” Dr. Jones said;
“but it is not in this way that life is
transformed nor the world led to spir-
itual progress. The kingdom of God is
in invisible forces. These
‘molecular forces’ of which. James speaks
is what Christ ‘meant by the spirit of
God within.

'“The mustard seed is a splendid sym-
bol of the Christian religion for though:
it begins in the minutest fashign it con-
‘tains great driving and expanding forces.
When we read the headlines of the hews-
paper and see nothing but the Arbuckle
case in California and the, latest scandal
in New York, we forget the innumerable
pleasant things that do not get into
headlines; that ‘silent hosts of light are
camped against the hosts of darkness.
