GERMANY. FACES — REACTION



Germany of the last» five years was the
subject of the talk which Frau Schreiber,
woman member of the Reichstag, gave in
Rockefeller Hall last Friday night.

In November, 1918, said Frau Schreiber,
the Germans thought that they were start-

The leaders of the labor

new government in hand, intending to main-
tain it in an orderly way. The labor move-
ment, strong for many years, was composed
of intellectuals and manual laborers. In
Germany the labor movement is the same
as the Social Democratic party, law-abid-
ing and evolutionary. Although» the inter-
national basis of the labor party is definite
it has not been able to stop war. The new
German constitution was designed to. keep
peace and to encourage international
friendship. It provided for equality of the,
sexes, that the illegitimate child should
have the same rights as the child born in
wedlock; in economic ideas it is between

' the Russian Soviet and the independence of

the employer, making use of an organiza-
tion something like the Ameri¢an Shop
Committee. Even in the old Germany there
had been a social welfare plan. of state
_insurance: which was continued.

Germany had hoped for a peace of re-
construction, a Wilsonian peace. When the
Versailles Treaty came to Germany for
signature, most of the people, charmed by
the very word of peace, led the govern-
ment into accepting it, although the wom-
en in the National Assembly were very

‘ much opposed. The contents of the treaty

cause of their effect on the next genera-

MISS GLADYS BOONE EXPLAINS
AMERICAN LABOR MOVEMENT

Little Chance for Workers to Rise
to Political Leadership





-The Secretary of the Woman’s Trade
Union, Miss Gladys Boone, spoke on the
American Labor Movement at the meeting
of the Liberal Club ‘held in the Graduate
Sitting Room in Denbigh last Thursday
evening.

Various phases of the Labor Movement
in this country have arisén as a direct re-
sult of its history, began Miss Boone, For
instance, the labor unions here have not
had to work for the. suffrage, since it came
more easily in’ America than-in--Europe:

+Then, too, a certain type-of labor leader

has arisen on account of the bargaining
over large areas which is necessitated by
the size of the country. Competition with
the organized is complicated with the un-
organized immigrant. - ;

In explaining the American Labor Movye-
ment of today Miss Boone said that the
American Federation of Labor is thought
of in two ways, as the unions affiliated
with the central group, and as “Gompers
and his crowd.”

_ The unions affiliated with the A. F. of

are varied in their policies from tre-

ruption in others. As a whole the Federa-
tion has no political movement, Anyone
who votes for labor is bound to go back
into office, as Gomper’s policy is to reward
his friends and: punish his enemies. The
lack of a real political movement is partly
responsible for unintelligent leadership, as
men cannot rise from economic to political
leadership. The central labor unions in the
cities which push for interests of their
citizens, partly take the place of a political
party. There are also state. federations
which have not gone far. as yet, but which
according to Miss Boone, may do miuch in
the future.

The most important of the unions not
affiliated with the American Federation of
Labor are the four big railroad _ brother-
hoods, the secessionist unions and the I.
W. W. The railroad brotherhoods, founded
in 1863. before the A. F. of L. came into
being, refused to enter, because they be-
lieved they. occupied a strategic position in
Ifthe country. The secessionist movements
are those which left the Federation for
various causes of discontent, forming or-
ganizations of their own.” The Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers of America have
obtained. good conditions in their own in-
dustry and. are now branching out into
other fields. The desire to foster industrial
unionism was the reason for the secession
of the I. W. W. and their formation.

ARGENTINE 1S SCENE OF
SOPHOMORE DANCE

Spanish Gentlemen and _ Ladies
_ Wander Through Patio’ with-
’ its Realistic Palm Trees

GYMNASIUM IS TRANSFORMED

The gymnasium was almost unrecogniza-
ble, last. Saturdaynight, in_its_gala_array
for Sophomore dance. The ceiling was fes-
tooned with strips “of alternating red, yel-
low, green, blue and black, and. railings
draped ‘with gay blankets in splashes of
color. Winter was forgotten i in the tropical
atmosphere of palms, and:trellises-of kum-
quats. One wall was a solid. bank of green,
against which stood tables, inviting inti-
mate téte-a-tétés, while at the other end
was a patio with low, dggavily draped
benches.. Through this scene of palm and
warmth wandered strangely attired Spanish
“caballeroes,” accompanied by attractive
Castillian maidens ‘with their brightly col-
ored shawls and graceful mantillas.

From the first strains of “La Paloma,”
with which the Sophomores _ officially
opened the dance, until the last notes of
the Freshman song, “Antonio Begonio,”
who told of “the romance and splendor, of
the night spent in old Argentine,” the room
was filled with a whirling mass of people.
Bright-colored mantillas were thrown in
relief against white shirts, whose wearers
leaned toward the colorful in sashes and
serapes: A vari-colored spotlight height-
ened the effect as it picked out a particu-
larly -bright, shawl here and there. Com-
plete. transformations were effected by the
judicious use of combs and ‘lace, or wigs
and-side-burns, Some conceptions of the
proper Argentinian costume for evening
wear were extraordinary enough to as-
tound the observer who was not blinded
by the almost universal tints of red that
predominated. Fortunately, the bull who
featured on the posters both of the arena
and the prize-ring was absent.







BRYN MAWR VOTE TAKEN
ON PRIZE PEACE _PLAN

Letters Explain Attitude of Many
Affirmative. Voters





Two huabed and fifty-four tindefgrad-
ugtes approved of the Peace Plan which
won the Bok Peace Prize. Of these only
sixty-three were voters. Of forty-four
voting against the plan four were. actual
voters, - re

Four letters have beén -written expla -
ing the attitude of some of those voting
in the affirmative. One explains that the
student votes in favor of the Peace Plan
because it is better than nothing. “I think
it is a step in the right. direction,” . she
states, “but a very feeble step. Certainly
no satisfactory world péace can be brought
about unless the United States joins the
League of Nations.” A second letter also
maintains that*the plan “is-an-exceedingly
feeble step in the right direction, but that
offering co-operation without membership
is an insult to the League.” A third letter
reads, “I voted for this plan only because
I consider it imperative that the United
States should join the League of Nations
no matter what the conditions. But I con-
sider it outrageous that the United States
should try to enter ‘the council of the
League ‘without being willing to assume —
any obligations.”

mouncing the election of M. Naigle, 25, |.

THE PRIZE PEACE PLAN

-The winning plan for the Bok Peace
Prize came as a disappointment to many
who would have preferred a more radical
plan instead of a very obvious compromise.
But the majority of these peoplé are forced
when asked to approve the
plan in substance. Better, they say, than
nothing, though but a feeble step in the
right direction. Had another plan em-
bodying more radical ideas beet submitted
to the public referendum, as well’ as this,
the two to compete for public favor, more
intelligent voting might have been ex-
pected. An opportunity to compare their
relative merits would have satisfied the
more radical people who believe that more
is “practicable” than this conservative plan,
while the same selection would have been
¢ dt A referen-

to vote “yes”

presented to the coriservative.
dum on two different plans would more
truly reflect American public opinion than
one where the bulk of affirmations, at least
from a representative college, seem to be
. for lack of anything better.



N

THE CUT PETITION

In petitioning the Faculty to allow cut-\
ting before and after vacations to come
under their jurisdiction, the Undergrad-
uate Association has made a bold request,
but we think a perfectly fair one. By the
present pe al the management of cuts
except the days before and after vacations
is in the hands of the Association and it
seems just that if they are allowed all
this work they should be intrusted with
the whole matter. The proposal to have
a first or last cut count as seven is a much
lighter penalty than a deferred examina-
tion and at the same time makes it almost
impossible to miss a first. or last class.
There are very few who do not use so
few of their cuts during the semester that
they will be able to take nine or at least
eight cuts at once, and the rule, while
‘guarding against reckless cutting, would
"enable : a student to be absent in an un-
usual circumstance without being penalized |
too severely.



A FALSE ATTITUDE

Due to the inheritance that belongs to us
as students at a college where “things of

ae ‘the mind” are the primary interest, we are.

apt to place mental superiority above
everything else. Unfortunately this. insist-
- ence on intellectual attainments is linked
up with a powerful dislike of anything
: bordering on the emotional. Our first re-
action to a speech or sermon is “Was it
emotion: at she eemeer io 2m



speaker stands» condemned in our eyes.
Without question a little of this feeling of
mental superiority is a good thing. It

‘creates a sane and healthy atmosphere of

thought, laughs away the sentimentalism
of which many of us are guilty when we
enter, and makes us ready to face life with
caf and coolness. But we gg much
farther than this, often so far that we lose
sympathy with some of our acquaintances
who do not have the same atmosphere as
we do. Certainly this suppression of our
in the extreme,

All the

emotions is narrowing
partly because it is so artificial.

.|great leaders of humanity have wielded

their power through emotion tempered: by
intellect rather than through intellect. tem-
pered by emotion. If our well-trained
minds~are to have~any effect -in~ helping
create a better world, we must not forget

that the other side of our natures is equally,

if not moa powerful. >

OF CABBAGES AND. KINGS
Before and after our many altruistic
drives. we should have time to inaugurate
one strictly for our own benefit. ‘We pro-
pose an alternative aim; (1) to buy car-
pets for the Library, or (2) to buy new

shoes for two-thirds of the college. We

have evolved a slogan: :
“Knowledge leaks

When footwear squeaks.”

We believe that this educational cam-
paign should receive the support of all sty-
dents, especially. those who would gain
shoes theréby.

IN SCRAPPY GAME

Fac a Exhibits Good Individual
Vork But Without Coordination





A spirited Faculty team lost to Varsity,
3-4, in a hockey match on Saturday, when
individual brilliance yielded to more co-
ordinated work.

The game ,was a series of individual

scraps all over the field, tH Faculty play-
ing with grim determination and ‘great
speed against the more. adept stick wérk
of Varsity. The ball was rushed up and
down the field continually and the’ game
was distinguished by many long shots ahead
of the forward line.
_ The Faculty held together better in the
first half. Dr. Owen and Dr. Bissell, the
‘mainstays of the Faculty backline, displayed
effective interference. Dr. Schrader, as
goal, made several excellent stops. In the
second half the Faculty presented a more
broken frofit to the Varsity forwards, who
dribbled through and around them.

IN THE NEW BOOK ROOM

The Riddle and Other Stories. Walter
de la Mare.

Mr. de la Mare haga fondness for trans-
lating or casting the episodes of his tales
into an atmosphere of occult influences.
They do not bear his stamp unless. much
about them remains unexplained._Carried
along on his smooth, gently imaged, and
poetic prose, one has the feeling that his
characters are traversing grey and brown
mists peopled with the goblin creatures
of Rackham illustrations.

Books and Authors. Robert Lynd.

The editor of the London Daily News
and the writer of many essays on Ireland
and Letters in general, has gathered to-
gether sketches about authors rather than
their books, that show the penetration and
sympathy of a man: who enjoys people as
people. Mr. Lynd is a genial and unlabored
writer with a refreshing amount of com-
mon sense.

The preface expresses his idea of what
criticism should be. He writes that “In
order to justify itself as a branch of lit-
erature criticism must associate ideas of
literature with ideas about life or must por-
tray in an author not only an author but
aman.” “The positive task of criti-
cism is to create in one’s own mind an
image of a writer’s genius, and then to try
to clear the mind of one’s readers so that
the same image will be reflected in theirs.”

The book is divided into two groups of
sketches; the More or Less Ancient, in-
cluding Herrick, Victor Hugo, Keats,
Lamb, Hans Andersen and Poe; and the
More or Less Modern, including Max

| Beerbohm, Conrad, Wells, Vachel Lindsay,

T. S. Eliot and André Gide.

The following books of modern poetry,
drama, and fiction came to the shelves last
week: Beyond the Horizon, Eugene O'Neil ;
Three Plays, Luigi Pirandello; A King’s
Daughter, Masefield; Collected Poems,
Vachel Lindsay; The Dove’s Nest, Kath-

DR. KERSOPP LAKE SPEAKS ON
THEOLOGICAL CONTROVERSY

od

Experimentalists in Religion. Must’

Succeed Through Tolerance



“The controversy in the churches is not
really about little points in the creed or any
system of theology,” said Dr. Kersopp
‘Lake, Winn Professor of Ecclesiastical
History at Harvard University, speaking in
chapel” Sunday, January 6. “It is a part
of the revolution in intellectual affairs
which took place in the last century.”

During the eighteenth century every one
was interested in thedries, and experiments
were undertaken to prove these theories.
Now it is reversed and we try to. create
a theory in accordance with facts. The
same change is taking place in theology;
many men wish to treat their spiritual fives
on the same basis as they do their material
lives.

Those opposed to this position are the
Fundamentalists, who hold that “their body
of knowledge about spiritual matters should
not be subject to the criticism of other
ideas, but rests on the authority of the

Scriptures.” At the opposite are the “Ex.

perimentalists” who believe in individual
religion. Somewhere in the universe is a
source of life whiclt comes to’ him or to
which he can go, and to find that, and not
a theory about its nature is his experiment.
To such men questions of creed and for-
mula stmply disappear.

We have inherited an organization and
religious creed “which bears the same re-
lation to religion that the laboratory, does
to chemistry.” This should not be handed
over either to the Fundamentalists or to
the tmentalists declared Dr. Lake.
a gta, ntalists can remain toler-
ant they will win through free and’ open
discussion and without bitterness. There
is still a third party in the church, who
are trying to bridge over the “extremes by
reading into the creeds a meaning which is
not there. They are the Institutionalists
who are really not doing much good ‘to
anybody. =

The duty of people like us, said Dr.
Lake, is not to allow ourselves to drift
into a position of isolated superiority.
“Education will prove a failure if educated
people will not mix intellectually with their

* inferiors.” If we can put ourselves in the
other person’s place without losing our in-
dividual personality, we will come through
‘the controversy because of the truth of
spiritual experience.

ESSENTIALS OF A SUCCESSFUL STU-
DENT EXPLAINED BY DR. LAKE

The difference between the successful
and unsuccessful student was the subject
of Dr. Kersopp Lake’s talk in chapel Mon-
day morning, January 7.

Dr, Lake said he~tad seen education of
three different degrees and kinds of free-
‘dom, in England, Holland, and America.
The successful student was about. the same
in all three countries, as was the unsuc-
cessful one. The successful student is one
who has learned to do what is right, not
because of a rule, but because it is the way
he chooses, who has learned the meaning
of scholarship, the difference between what
some one has told him and what he has
found-out for himselfe The unsuccessful
students are those who have acquired a
series of taboos in conduct and in intellect

NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES

Miss Bonstelle, who directed Pinero’s
“Enchanted. Cottage”.. last season and or-
ganized. the first’ municipal theatre in the
United States, spoke at Hunter College re-
cently on the relationship of* th® student
to the theatre. According to her talk she
believes that students have a definite re-
sponsibility towards the theatre. If they
refused. to support a play with nothing
worth while in it, the commercial manager
would be grateful to them.

“The Storm Centers of Europe” was the
subject of the lecture given by Professor
Fridtjok Nansen, at Barnard.

Connecticut College recently produced a
Spanish play in Spanish.

The Student Curriculum. Committee: at
Vassar is instituting a series of lectures
to clarify ideas on education. ~The lectures

will be informal talks given by members of
the faculty and will be followed by a dis-
cussion. from the floor, The general sub-
jects discussed will be scholarship, the pur-
pose of a college, graduate study, honor
courses, and European and American meth-
ods of study.

The last seven classes graduating from
Mt. Holyoke have arranged to make their’
class gift to the college at their twenty-
fifth year reunions by ‘buying insurance
policies which will mature at that time.
The annual premium on the policy is paid
by taxing each member of the class her
proportionate share of the total premium.
[n addition to this each member has been
taxed yearly to support the General Alum-
nae Association. It'is now proposed that.
the insurance plan be abandoned and the
Alumnae Fund Plan be adopted in its place.

The scheme in brief is this: The Alum-
nae Fund pledge agrees to pay an annual
amount—to the treasurer of the Alumnae
Association on April 1 .every year. Of
the total yearly subscription from all the





alumnae a certain amount is to be used to
cover the expenses Of the Alumnae Office.
The balance will be used for some definite
work of the college. °

CHAPEL SPEAKER STRESSES
MENTAL ATTITUDE OF WORLD



Indifference Is Curse of Humanity
and Hinders Progress



The Reverend Henry Hallam ‘Tweedy,
Professor of Practical Theology at Yale
University, spoke in chapel on Sunday

“evening, January 13.



As students, he said, our position in life
is comparable to that of the Roman god
Janus. We may look either backwards
forwards, into the past*or into the futur
If we look upon the year which is past,
we should see there some gain in wisdom,
some ‘spiritual growth. It is especially
important in these days of dissension to
learn the art of living together.. There is
too much, hate in the world and too little
adaptation. Ideals have changed quickly
and radicalism is rampant; only the future

can show whether or not these changes

are for the good. Youth, in breaking «the
old shackles, is breaking as well, too many
laws, both social and moral, which have
in the past proved beneficial and even nec-
essary to man’s happiness. 4

In the world today people have divided
themselves into four classes. There ate
those whose attitude is revolutionary and,
fighting bitterly against them, are the re-
actionaries. The third class is by: far the
largest and comprises all those who do not

difference, holding the world back by sheer
weight. Finally, there are some “who,are
really constructive, who work for good

and love of Jesus Christ. They are truly

Youth and Renaissance, Movements, A

Beginning with some general considera-

detailed account.of Youth. Movements~—in
the Orient, India, Latin-America, and
‘Europe. Every American student should
be interested in ‘these attitudes expressed
toward politics, economic problems, race
questions, and religion. Certain special
topics receive attention, such as folk danc-
ing as a cure for faults of modern danc-
ing, a theory which is being worked out
in Germany. The articles are well arranged
and make reading that*is as interesting as
it is important. :

Racial Relations and the Christian .JIdeal,
discusses present racial relations and future
development. The fundamental questions
which must be dealt with are clearly set
forth together with the ‘opinions of men

‘such as William McDougall, H. G. Wells,

W. E. B. Dubois. The problems of race
equality, of racial differences’ of the re-
sponsibility of -a highly developed race to-
wards one less highly developed, and the
question of discrimination along racial lines
in the admission of immigrants, aré con-
sidered in the light of science, of human
experience and of Christian Ideals.

Economic Problems and the Christian
Ideal is one of four discussion courses
planned and partially prepared by a sub-
committee of the Committee on Arrange-
ments for the Student Volunteer Move-
ment Quadrennial Convention, December
28, 1923, to January 1, 1924. This particu-
lar pamphlet indicates that a practical so-
lution of the great problems of human re-
lationships confronting the world today
may be found in the Christian Ideal. The
very titless of the six parts into which it
is divided—material Goods and Spiritual
Rife, What Can Christians Do About Eco-
nomic Problems, etc., suggest firmer ground
ahead for those who have felt that Chris-
tianity was far removed from practical eco-
nomic problems.. Each of the six payts is
prefixed by eight questions, which in turn
are succeeded by varying answers and
worth-while opinions, the sources of quo-
tation ranging from Carleton Beals “Mex-
ico: An Interpretation,” to Tawney’s_Ac-
quisitive Society,”

A pamphlet entitled “International Prob-
lems and the Christian Way of Life,” pre-
pared by the Commission on International
Relations of the National Conference on
the Christian Way of Life, ts one-third
thought-provoking questions upon current
events and attitudes toward them, and two-
thirds selected readings which answer or

is invaluable both for discussion groups

THE RELATION OF CHRISTIANITY TO WORLD
PROBLEMS IS DISCUSSED AT INDIANAPOLIS



Conference Shows Need of Applying
Christian Principles to Race,
War and Labor Questions



OVER 6000 STUDENTS ATTEND



(Specially contributed by the Bryn Mawr

¢ delegation to Indianapolis)

What Christianity Has to Do With the
World Today was the big question stressed
by the Ninth Quadrennial Student. Volun-
teer Convention, held at Indianapolis this
vacation, from December 28 to January 2.
About ‘six thousand five hundred delegates
were—present, coming from California to
Maine, and including: besides the regular
students, two hundred foreign students, and
representatives of the
Y. M. C7 A. and Y. W. C. A,, foreign mis-
sionaries, and outside speakers. Where be-
fore the main emphasis of the Student Vol-
unteer Conventions has been laid almost
entirely on work in the foreign mission
field, the-interest of this last one was cen-
tered on the relation of religion and Chris-
tianity to both world problems and every-
day living. The purpose was stated as
three-fold. . First, to consider the actual
‘conditions of the world, good and bad, with
sane, free thinking. -Second, to consider
the evils and ‘needs of our college life.
Third, to consider the relation of Chris-
tianity to these problems. Do we consider
it inadequate? Is it the fault of the
Church, the fault of Christianity, or the
fault of us?

fori tt. is Not an Emotion But a State
of Mind

The absolute need of clear thinteinie in
religion as.in other matters was clearly
shown. This. point was. stressed by many
speakers. “Religion is not an emotion, but
a state of mind,” said Reverend Stoddard
Kennedy, chaplain to King George. “Re-
ligion comes right into the heart of study
and reason, but rationality is not pure in-
tellect. Clear thinking and open-minded-
ness are needed, but just the apparatus,
knowledge and patience, must be acquired.
If we are going to apply religion and
Christianity to facts we must know clearly
what we think about it. We must-not be
prejudiced, ignorant or indifferent, but

. study it as we would any other problem.”

“Most of the muddle today,” said Canon
Wood, of Cambridge, England, “is due to
muddled thinking. Men must straighten
out their minds, especially about God.” The
solution and conviction is personal. No
one can take another person’s words or
experience except as an aid to thinking
out her own answer.

The Fundamental Reality of Christianity
Discussed

The most impressive fact of the whole
conference was the sense of the reality of

what every one was. striving for—Chris-.

tianity is not something laid carefully away
in a drawer to be used only on Sunday—
it is a fact, a fact that is‘ withus every
day, and turning ‘up in everything we do.
The greatness of real religion lies in -its
unavoidableness and all-conclusiveness. - It
is active, not passive. Canon Wood again
said, “We are all too ready to think but

to do beCause of what we think? First

we must be sure what we think, then do

it. It was quite remarkable to be one of
six thousand all trying to straighten them-
selves out on that quéstidn. You would

i ) nd |- : ‘
pick up a stranger on the street corner a ‘men and serving humanity not by the first

plunge into the deepest and most. personal
conversation with as little hesitation as you
would have said good morning to your best
friend. .

Is ‘There Any Better Solution than
Christianity?

“Js there any solution which is not ade-

quately. given. by Christ? Was He purely

idealistic? Based more could He have —





Can we get on without Him? These were
the questions that naturally. followed. They
were considered under the four big head-
ings of International Problems, Race Prob-
lems, Economic Problems, and the Youth
Movement. The different aspects of the,
quéstion were given by lecture to the as-
sembled company, who were then divided
into smaller groups for the purpose of
discussion,

‘ coe

Labor Challenges Those Who Refuse to
Take Part in lts. Problems

“Jesus didn’t’ play safe,” said Paul
Blanchard, field secretary of the Leagué of
Industrial Democracy, in condemning our
attitude of staying out of labor problems
because we are sot sure where they are
leading. The situation today has ° three
phases—low wages, unemployment, and the
harmful effects of monotonous employment.
Over three thousand Chinese ar@\,earning
twenty-seven cents a day; much insanity
results from the desperation of unemploy-
ment; heavy hours over a machine change
free acting and thinking human beings to
mere commodities of industry. Mr. Blanch-
ard favors Round Trée’s program for re-
lief as a truly Christian one—a living wage,
the eight-hour day, the employer bearing
the risks of unemployment, a measure of
joint control, and also of co-operative
ownership. ’

The use of profit is to replace worn-out
machinery. .Man’s loss of humary energy is
difficult of replacement; so the least that
wearing industry can do is to offer some
financial reparation in the form. of profit-
sharing, maintained Mr. Hapgood,.head of
an Indianapolis industry.

All labor situations are “unoccupied mis-
sions fields.” The church today is opposed
by labor because it is preaching ideals
without any action to justify them. Let us
act what we preach and labor will be with
us. Were He alive today, “Christ would
surely be on the side of Labor.”

What Attitude Shall We
Take Toward War?

If “Christian idealism has no place in in-
ternational affairs,” as is often asserted,
then “Christianity cannot make good its
claim,” said the Honorable Newton Rowell,
of Canada. ‘But the hope and aspiration
of the world lies in the application of the
Christian ideal, bringing the sanctity of in-
ternatfonal agreements and the preservation
of peace by co-operation and conciliation.
According to Sherwood Eddy, 86 per’ cent.
of our national income in 1922 went di-
rectly or indirectly into war channels.
Have we the courage to step out and prac-
tice the Christian doctrine we assert?
Kirby Page, of the Fellowship of Recon-
ciliation, gave four practical suggestions—
understand and deal with the causes of
war, strengthen agencies of justice, outlaw
war legally, and, as individuals, refuse ever
again to engage in it. For when we sup-
port war, we are saying that Christianity
is practical in theory but not siffficient in
emergencies.

This Pacifist stand had a fairly strong
backing. For, though all the forty-nine
discussion groups agreed that we must
work for the’ elimination of war, there was
great disagreement as to what is the Chris-
tian_attitude ‘to take toward it. The last
morning four studént speakers earnestly
put forth possible solutions for bringing
world peace, each one représenting ‘a good
section of the convention opinion.

Education in itself is too slow, said the
Pacifist. We must stand to tHe hilt on
Jesus’ plan of non-resistance ftrusting all

but ‘through love. So. strong, were some
against any participation in war that, in a
meeting called on the side, a hundred took
the Absolutist pledge not to engage directly
or indirectly in any war or war prepara-
tion after November 11, 1924. Many men
went back to refuse support to the R. O.

‘speaker.



T. C,, even at the risk of expulsion from

“We can’t stop war by saying we don't
like it,” said the speaker for preparedness.
Unpreparedness breeds war. By prepared:
ness we can reduce the cost and length of
war ,to a minimum, thus increasing: our
chances. to do good ang spread our ideals
through a peaceful world. Today we are
engaged not so much in doing preventative
good as in healing wounds. on

Non-resistance is impractical, War can
be abolished only gradually, and the best
way is through education—a third stagd.
Meanwhile, we must fight in cases of™ne-
cessity, when all possible means of settle-
ment have failed. A nation: must defend
itself, for the possibility of spreading its
ideals.

Lack of world organization is the big
cause of war. We need a legal substitute
for forge, making both “preparedness” and
“pacifism” unnecessary, asserted the fourth
He attempted to show how the
World Court and League of Nations could
meet_this need.

A show of. hands, with people voting for
two or more stands if they were consistent,
resulted in a good showing for Pacifism
and for educational methods, but slight
support for *preparedness, and an almost
unanimous vote for the League and the
World Court. =
: There were some definite proposals agreed
on by all four factions—truth both in pul-
pit and press, personal discussion, and
study of the causes of war, changing the
motive of the R. O. T.-C. to one of phys-
ical education, supporting international re-
lief work, and urging the international ex-
change of professors and students.

Race Question Both as a Campus and a
World Problem is Considered

Forty-one of the forty-nine discussion
groups took up the race question. Many
of them. discussed it as a specific problem
on the campus; in others it was taken up
as a wotld problem. The main points of
view expressed in the various groups were
summed up in.a big meeting by ‘four stu-
dent speakers, one from the South, one
from the North, a Negro, and a Filippino.

The Southerner emphasized justice, and
said that few in the South believe in the
absolute subjugation of the Negro. He
told of attempts to solve the problem
through an Inter-racial Commission and
student discussion grotffs. The Northerner
gave character as the only Christian basis
of discrimination and stressed the need of
following the Gospel of Christ in our deal
ings with other races. No -inherent. in-
equality of races was the point made by
the Filippino. The Negro plead for a fair
chance. Culture*is possible only through
contact. If we refuse the chance of con-
tact’ to the Negro #t-is unfair to expect
him to accept our standards.

A_ few specific proposals were made—
that we eliminate the white superiority
complex, ‘oppose organizations working
toward race superiority, promote the study
of the reasons for present prejudices, and
work against specific social wrongs.

Among other speakers, Dr. Willis King,
of Georgia, said that Jesus’ way of love
has never been tried, although-we-call our-
selves. a Christian country. Dr. Tsu, of
Shanghai, blamed politicians for fostering
race prejudices which are based on a fal-
lacious idea of race superiority. He said
that we must feel a filial relationship with
God before we can feel a real fraternal
relationship with all men.

Why. Is There No Youth Movement in
America Asks Mr. Sherwood Eddy

“Why,” asked Sherwood Eddy,”
no adequate Youth Movement in America?”
Her. unfair distribution of wealth, child
labor, lynching, racial discriminations, and
general lack of clear thinking must not be
disregarded by her 500,000 students. Why
do«they not make a concerted effort for
peace and for better social and economic
conditions? There is a stronger. belief
than ever before in the necessity for spir-

itual force with which to oppose the mate-

rial evils of the present world. In speaking
of the present generation, Dr. Mott said,
“They are dissatisfied with the past and
with the present; they are critical, inquir-

‘ing and alert, quick to discern reality and

; =
is there



to want consistency. Finally with their
strong idealism and hopefulness they have
an adventurous spirit and are ready to go -
to extremes.”

The essence of the Youth Movement is
that it should be a constructive test against
evil8. In Europe the protest has. usually
been against autocracy. In America it can
be against unfair racial discrimination, war,
exploiting of workers and numberless
social evils.

Finally, the Youth Movements in other

countries: have been fundamentally _ reli-

gious. They have realized the inconsistency
between what people believe and how they
act, and are trying to bring these two sides
of human life together.

If a student movement should grow in
America which would co-operate with’ the
Christian Associations and Liberal Clubs

.

of the colleges of this country, and: w
co-operate with the youth moveme
other lands, there is no limit to the force ~

that they could give toward bringing bet-
ter conditions and clearer thought in the
world. @

Christianity is Religion of Power Whose
Source Must be Understood

Canon Woods, of the British ‘Student
Movement, stressed the necess ity of
straightening our thinking to make. way for:
effective action. In our thinking about re-
ligion we-cannot overlook the fact ‘that ’
God has been, for so many, a source of
power, any more than we can discount the
experience of scientists. Unless we bring
our theught of God cloger to the teaching ~

{of Christ we are in danger of worshipping

our own “pet infinite.” Ever since Christ
lived, men have, found that their experi-
ences with God and Christ coalesced, and
that they could not explain Christ without
using the word God. Christ is no hybrid,
part man and part God, nor is he God
disguised as a man. Both the reality and
the divinity of Christ are in His human-
ity; the more He is man, the more God.
Even though frée will is theoretically non-

existent, we are practically free to choose. *

whether we shall be linked to God or pulled
away, whether we shall work with God’s
own omnipotence of love or against it.
God answers the problem of the world’s
suffering by the cross, the focussing at one
time and place, of’ what God eternally is.
Jesus liyed to explain God and His plans
for man’s ideal life. He succeeded in

eg ag ideals into .concrete fact be-

ause He believed that all the resources of
God were available for humanity, and was
willing to use His whole being as a medi-
um through which these resources might
act. We are willing to consecrate only a
section of human life and consequently fail.
in realizing our ideals. With Jesus as an
example, we can believe that human nature
can be changed, that the Kingdom of God:
is feasible. A man of: power, instead of
carrying his religion about like luggage,
discovers that Christianity, the religion of
power, can carry him. Modern psychology
is helping us to understand the same
sources of power that Christ knew.’ If
God is personal and free, and people are -
personal and free, it is possible for every-
one to explore Jesus’ way of life, to have
conscious intercourse with God.

Evangelization of the World in This Gen-
eration is Slogan at Conference

“Evangelization of the world in this gen-
eration!” was a fantastic dream uttered a
generation ago, by youthful Dr. Speer, but —
“evangelization of the world in this gen-.
eration!” proclaimed by us, 6000 students,
is no longer a dream, but a reality. An-
tagonistic feelings felt, in Japan against’
Christian America, a generation ago, has
been completely wiped out as thousands
of lives perished in the regent disaster ;
“the kindness shown by Christian America
toward the stricken Japan,” safd Mr. Hata-
haka, the Dean of Kobe College in Japan,
“was too full of love and power not to
overcome our prejudices towards America.”

“Africa is more than ready to receive the
teachers of the religion,” the petition from
the Africans at large was strongly voiced,
as Dr. Aggrey, the native of the African
Gold Coast, challenged us. “Give us Jesus,-
