its recommendations to the faculty.
Before this can be done, the student

Margaret Bailey Reads
Selections From Her Poems



Last Thursday night a group of Bryn
Mawr students had the privilege of hear-
ing the newest Bryn Mawr celebrity,
Emerson Bailey, read and

lished-collection, White Christmas. Until
two years ago Miss Bailey’s promising
literary careér had been confined to prose
special newspaper articles, lit-
erary. criticism, Robin Hood’s Barn, a
book of essays;- and numerous. short
stories, published in Harper’s, and other
monthly magazines. She began writing
verse during ‘her convalescence from a
serious illness... She says of this. begin-
ning that her greatest inspjration. was
her mother’s skeptical~remark, “What
makes you think you are Dante?” Her
first poem, “Higher Mathematics,” was
written as a response to this challenge.
Miss Bailey aid sceas twenty odd se-
lections from White Christmas, and a
few unpublished poems, prefacing each
with a/comment or an illuminating anec-
dote. She told of walking in a wood and
finding herself suddenly hardly a foot
away from a great owl, whose blindness
inspired “Black and White”; of finding
the source oF! “Wise Man’s Holiday” in

nares

Enjoyed by Audience
Includes in Program Bach, De-

Mr. Alwyn





Although it is two weeks since Mr.
Alwyne’s recital, our impression is still
almost as vivid as when we left Good-
hart on November 23, with. the -feeling
that the evening, which Mr. Alwyne was
kind enough to give us, had been un-
usually enjoyable and for many of
us, his explanation of each selection was
a welcome addition, especially since the
large part of the program was devoted
to “program” music, such as “St. Fran-
cis preaching to the Birds,” and even
a Bach selection—‘Awake, the voice
commands’—which may be ‘placed in
that category. What we enjoyed
most, however, was the “Chromatic Fan-
tasie and Fugue.” Not only is it one of
Bach’s greatest works, even foreshadow-
ing, as it does, Tristan and Parsifal, but,
with its mingling of styles, as for ex-
ample, the recitative and the toccata, it
provides opportunity for the full display
of Mr. Alwyne’s talent, which does it so
much justice as well as the expert
technique evinced in the clarity of the
runs and in the _,integrity-—of—the—voices
_One.could_not.but-.wondér
at his power of. adaptation to-mood and
his control is so perfect that his changes
are hardly perceptible. Although’ he
played the Turkish March twice, how he
obtained the illusion-of-sound approach-
ing and receding :remains a mystery, so
subtle is his use of dynamics. ot

The—richness- of Mr, Alwyne’s tonal
quality was especially ‘apparent in that

Thee, Lord. But if we would rather
hear Mr. Alwyne give an entire program
of. Bach, we also took great pleasure: in
his interpretation of such numbers as
Rachmaninow’s Prelude in B Afinor,
“fiery exaltation,” and Debussy’s Prelude,
for there seems to be no end to Mr.
Alwyne’s. versatility. _Couperin’s ‘“‘ten-
dre Nanette,” the frilly court lady, and
Lord Berner’s “Poisson d’Or,” “turning.
sad “and ‘solitary in his crystal bowl,”
were portrayed with a keen sense for the
comic, which often to our surprise plays
no small part in the realm of music.

We hope that Mr. Alwyne will give
another recital before

one’s age in poetry, and I very much

object to people my age who write

verses in the terms of. the twenties.”

And of “Hard Teaching,” in which she

acknowledged her debt to her exacting
grandmother, she said, “I might say that
I think in addition to my grandmother's
teaching, that that was the way Eng-
lish was-taught at Bryn Mawr.”

Miss Bailey read her poems better
than anyone else could possibly have
read them—and this is even more sel-
dom-true of ~poets than of writers of
prose. Her simple, firm, and uncon-
sciously charming delivery is exactly in
the tone of the work itself. Reading
her poetry after hearing her, one can
catch in it the cadences and ihflections
of her natural speech. This natural-
ness, this: setting down in, verse, almost
unmodified, not only the images of her
mind, but the image of her personality
is the most ‘striking quality of her work.

Undergraduate Fund for
Unemployed Lacks Little

(Specially contributed: by H « Moore, ’32)

The Student body has pledged $1700
to the fund “for: unemployment relief
(not including the amount saved by
giving up desserts, which amounts _ to
about $50 per week). To date re-



ceipts have been as follows:

BOG) senanannsnianacan $1545.59

This means that there is about $155
more to be collected. We feel sure
that this amount can be made up
easily..In the first place no pledges
have been. received from Wyndham,
and there still are some people in other
halls who have said that they intend to
pledge. Secondly, the luxury ‘tax will
continue, along with the private enter-
prises such as selling orange juice.
Finally, we understand that-the Sopho-

the- amount they would. normally-spend:
on their party for the Freshmen and

Way, seems an excellent innovation
aside from the benefits of the fund.)
The*reason that it was necessary to
pledge more than we have at the-mo-
ment is that the drive closed on Mon-
day and in order to have the full
amount of our gift, which is not due in
_cash_ until the first-of June, intcluded-in
the drive we had to estimate what we
will receive in the future. We are con-
fident that this $155 willsoon be. made
up.

MR. TRUEX CONVINCING



(Specially contributed by Miss Norton.)

When the rising curtain revealed
Miss Barber's very effective setting
for “Berkeley Square,’ one was uncon-
sciously reminded of an evening seven
years ago, in the Bryn Mawr gym-
nasium when, amid great excitement,
the curtain ‘rosé on another scene of
the eighteenth century, Sheridan's
“School for Scandal,” the first produc-
tion of Varsity Dramatics. It- was a
thrilling moment for those who had
been ‘dissatisfied with class plays and
wanted a new organization, permitting
the best dramatic expression possible
at Bryn Mawr.

That the 1deals which produced Var-
sity Dramatics are still predominant,
is illustrated by the recent production.
The co-operation of. the Haverford
Cap and Bells have of recent years
given a more professional appearance
to the performances. This year the
desire to attempt a difficult thing, pre
senting interesting problems to grapple
with, was revealed in the choice of

subjects of the conference. A very
large audience attended the meetings.
Miss Lillian M. Gilbreth, industrial
engineer and a member of the Presi-
dent’s Commission on Unemployment,
spoke at lunch in the Pembroke din-
ing room. She said she had visited
communities ‘to see in- what way
people without employment might be
fitted into other jobs. As a result of
her observations, she emphasized the
need for proper vocational education
and guidance, People able to hold
jobs were the people. who had re-
tained “mental dlertness, and had not

cation was finished, they were through
They have continued to
study along the lines in which they

Clarence Stein °

After lunch Clarence’ Stein, archi-
tect, spoke on Home Building. Mr.
Stein felt that President Hoover's con-
ference on Home Owning and Home
Building stressed home ownership
rather than the adaptation of homes
to hunian needs. In planning houses
their relation tothe, cOmimunity must
be considered,’ for “they. are economi-
cally bound to the city by the cost of
land, paving, sewers, water, and trans-
portation. The present real estate

municipal taxes unnecessarily, but
dictates to future builders the type of

of the garden or playground, combin-
ing beauty with light and yentilation.
In Sutinyside each block has a garden
in charge of a committee. Radburn is
within twenty-five miles of New York
City but automobiles approach each
housé by a blind lane, underpasses or
bridges are built for pedestrians at
each main highway, and. paths are put
through the garden so that children
can. walk to school without crossing
any motor roads. Pittsburgh has built
one of these communities, based on
social and economic research, where
workers can ‘afford to rent suitable
houses.

The problém today is to make plan-
ning a public concern, and to operate
builditig and its finance so that more
than a small one-third of the popula-
tion can have adequate housing.

Colonel Wetherill urged farsighted
planning for whole regions as well as
for. communities, with the co-opera-:
tion. of business: and political interests.

It was also mentioned how slowly
America is waking up to the housing
problem. Pennsylvania is just new

of New York State.



Social Legislation
The afterhoon discussion’ of ‘the
Women’s Trade Union League was
on the subject of Social Legislation.
Charlotte Carr, depyty secretary; De-

ment Exchange”; John Edelman, Di-
rector of Research, American Federa-

Dr. Schlueter-Hermkes __
on Situation in Germany



The foreign policy and domestic
situation of modern Germany were the
points stressed by Frau Dr. Schlueter-
Hermkes in her lecture given last Fri-
day afternoon in the Music Room of
Goodhart Hall.

Germany has always been ruled by her

The foreign policy of

geographical position in the center of
Her relations with France,
always of first importance, have: taken
on new complexity since the Treaty of
Versailles. Germany desires a revision
of this document, while France desires
new guarantees “by which to defend
herself from a defenseless Germany.”

The attitude of Germany toward her
neighbors may be seen from her will-
ingness to join in the Locarno Agree-
ment, the spirit of which calls for in-
ternational friendship and co-operation.
It was in this spirit that Germany

agreed to give up Alsace-Lorraine to
France. “There is no hatred of France
among the German people; rather is
there a desiré for mutual understand-
ing,” said Dr. Schlueter-Hermkes.
One of the problems facing Ger-

| many at present .is that of evolving

some agreement concerning the bound-
ary situation between East Prussia and

|| the Polish Corridor. The present situ-

ation is endangering , the economic
safety of both sections, for the Corri-

}many...apd, oland’s rigid regulations

concerning passage
East. Prussia through the Corridor are
an insurmountable | obstacle to. com-
merece. Then also Germany is -un-
armed and defenseless, having been de-

prived of her eastern and northern

and navy by the Treaty of Versailles.
There is no nation in the world that is
more interested in disarmament than
Germany, nor one that is more nearly
disarmed. The present situation is un-
bearable, for she is wedged in between
highly armed countries and ‘utterly
unable to defend-herself. In regard
to reparations Dr. Schlueter-Hermkes
said that Germany’s present economic
state is due to the drain upon her
finances made by her reparation. pay-
ments. Hoover’s proposed morato-
rium might have staved off disaster,
but France’s hesitancy in accepting it
caused a loss of corffidence, foreign
loans were foreclosed and the crash
resulted. The discipline of the- Ger-
man people during this period of
financial disaster was remarkable.
Life went on as usual, and when the
banks were reopened more money was
deposited than withdrawn. This disci-
pline is largely due to the confidencé
of the people in Chancellor Breuning
whom they feel to be both level-headed
and a master of diplomacy. Although
the crisis is passed, Germany must pro-
vide for 7,000,000 unemployed for
whom no work can be made available.
The ranks of the jobless include not
only laymen, but people equipped with
a higher education for whom there is
no room in industry or letters. The
universities continue to be crowded
with “disguised unemployed”—young
people for whom there is no work.
The living conditions in the universi-
ties are almost unbearable. Women
are obliged to scrub-subway floors and
wait upon table in restaurants at night
“in order to pay tuition. .Among these

Stabilization of Industry

Is Subject of

Economic Conference Held at Bryn Mawr



Continued from Page One

United States Department of Labor,
who was presiding. :

The one hopeful aspect in today’s
depression and extreme unemployment
lies in the fact that various groups
are attempting to find a cure and a
preventive for future economic crises.
But this is not enough. “There is a
crying need for continued and syste-
matic co-operation of all forces. to
bring about the stabilization of indus-
try. It is the social legislation and
organized community efforts that we
are to-consider this ‘afternoon,” said
Miss Anderson, “In the enactment
of social legislation making for better
standards, educational organizations
have the responsible role of pointing
and leading ‘the way.”

Charlotte Carr

After the chairman’s introduction
Charlotte Carr spoke of the employ-
ment exchange as a clearing house of
labor supply and demand—making
available for employers the kind of
workers needed, getting jobs for tnose
in search of work, and adjusting people
to the types of regular employment for
which they. are best fitted. Some mile-
stones toward these ends were brought
out by Miss Carr. The Philadelphia
employment-commission;-although™in=
dependent of the state, has stimulated
the citizens of Philadelphiaand—the
University of Pennslvania to raise
$50,000 by legislation for experiment-
ing——in—employment—exchanges:—-At
Pittsburgh an attempt was made to
put through: a+similar-bill stressing —a

employment of the unskilled and semi-
skilled workers. “At__Erie there. isa
competent employment service that for
ten years has’ kept accurate figures of
workers in every industry. The Penn-
sylvania “Commonwealth Government
is -deeiding to establish emergency
camps where unemployment is most
serious. ‘Religious organizations have
the realization-of the necessity: for stic-
cessful relief work. “If Uncle Sam
would stand by —Father..Penn..in...em-
ployment,” concluded’ Miss Carr, “the
service will be a real help in the sta-
bilization. of industty.”
Mr. Edelman

Mr. Edelman showed ‘how the
shorter work day means more general
employment for everybody, more reg-
ular -work for--those--employed;
creased_time forthe worker-to make
use of many products that can be con-
sumed only in leisure hours, increased
opportunity for training and research,
increased demand for the services of
all types ‘of workers; including those
trained in the various professions. As
an investment for national prosperity,
the shorter work day with a better re-
turn for services rendered is ecOnomi-
cally and socially sound and is the most
important measure to be put into ef-
fect. “The: Trade Industries are
equipped,” said Mr. Edelman, ‘“‘to fill

Van- Kleeck closed the afternoon’s
program. Miss Van Kleeck’s address
is important as it is through standards
of living that communities can better

the situation. Education and _ public

opinion can do a great deal in this

respect against ‘long hours and low
ewages. At this conference Miss Van
Kleeck hoped individuals and organiza-
tions would gather up ideas and weld
them into a program for what they be-
lieve to be the community responsibil-
ity for the stabilization of industry.
The possibility of..takittz action di-

“A democracy need not fall to revolu-
tion—with an expression of public
opinion in the legislature.” The test
is whether it is possible fot thé democ-
racy to face the economic situation;
and the change going on and to work
out methods of comnion life that will
meet these changes. The opportunity
and the possibility are both here—the
solution depends on the ability of pri-
vate organizations to develop leader-
ship. The time when one man can
lead has passed. We must form
groups or organizations and work

that each case of unemployment causes

from country to country. The Am-

“(4) The problem of war debts and

justing war debts would then become

nomic basis for trade relations in Eu-

would be the most effective way of
preserving what is socially desirable if

danger of war, which daily grows inore

“(6) Taxation must be planned with
the objective of distributing purchas-

tion of stabilization within industry.

trial engineer, and former director of
public works for Philadelphia, in-

sented reports and recommendations,
some of which are translated for the
workers to read. In secret meetings
of the unions, reports. and wage
changes are discussed. This system of
joint research, said Mr. Goddell, has
“character-building value” in that it
keeps the workers alert, and the em-
ployees, feeling the protection of the
union, dre very willing to co-operate.

Miss Frances Perkins

Miss: Frances Perkins, the commis-
sioner of industry of New York, who
spoke next, began by pointing out the
bright spots of the depression, which
has stimulated spiritual and intellectual
interest in its causes and remedies.
As for the latter, they must necessarily
be of many varieties;,individual cases
need individual treatment.. As one
method of stabilization, we have that
of budgéting, or planned production,
used successfully not only by the
housewife but also by a concern such
as Procter and Gamble’s soap makers,
and by the Eastman Kodak Co.

Then, again, demand may be stim-
ulated in off-seasons by high-powered
salesmanship advertising. The In-
ternational Shoe Co., for example,

advantage in off-seasons. Side
lines and “fillers”? may also keep busi-
ness busy.. Fifteen years ago the
Beechnut Packing Co. sold only pork.

c



Today, among many other things, they
are making a good filler of peanut-but-
ter. Another point: the working day
should be. made flexible on the short
week basis. ‘The Delaware Cloak and
Suit Co. in good times increases its
forty-four-hour ‘week to_ fifty, and in
slack times shortens. it-to. thirty...The
wages remain the same. Under this
plan, however, there is danger of ex-
cessive hours.

The timing of the introduction of
technical improvements to periods of
expansion, and unemployment reserves,
may also be of assistance in the sta-
bilization of industry, whose advan-
tages are, first, that it saves the train-
ing of new men, an expensive process;

that it keeps all capital investment in

use; that it makes possible lower unit
wages—if the yearly wage is greater,
production will cost less; that it pre-
vents the fear of “working oneself out
of a job,” and so raises the morale of
the worker.

Mr. Sidney Hillman

Mr. Sidney Hillman, who is the gen-
eral president of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America, said
that: no industry has the power to sta-
bilize itself; all are interdependent, and
enforced planning alone can make for
real stabilization. This the industry of
which he is president has attempted

to do by means of conferences (fol-
lowing strikes), and division of work,
the reduction of the hours from sixty-
six to forty-four a week, or the “stag-
gering of employment.” Moreover,
there has been no discharge without
cause, and, through piece work there

has been co-operation in the efficiency |

of the industry.

In 1923 an Employment Insurance
Fund was introduced in Chicago from
three per cent. of the employers; and



otie and one-half per cent. the’ em-
ployees’ wages. Then there is “coop-
housing,” which in New York City
alone takes care of one thousand fami-
lies. At present, however, the unefn-
ployment and underployment are very
great, and the reason, is the lack of
purchasing power. .A larger program
is needed; it must be made possible
for the people to consume. In’1920-29
there was an increase of forty per cent.
in the productivity of the worker.

Herbert Ames Tells



of League Finances



After Hard First Year Money

On Wednesday, December Sir
Herbert Anies spoke on the financing
In 1919,

when Canada was given the appoint-
ment of a Financial Director of the
Secretariat of the League, Sir Herbert
was on the Banking and Commerce
Commission of the Canadian’ Parlia-
ment. He was nominated for treasurer
of the League and was influenced. in
his acceptance of the appointment by
reading the League Covenant in which
he saw the “seed of a wonderful experi-
ment,” for this was the first time that
all nations had got together to prevent
war, and the beginnings of all experi-
ments are most interesting.

When Sir Herbert arrived in Lon-
don, Sir Eric Drummond explained to
him that since nothing like the League
had ever existed before, there :were as

of the ‘League of Nations.

worked out as they were needed. ‘The
resources consisted of small sums
granted by France and England in the
Peace Treaty. Knowing that this
would not go far, Sir Herbert-had a
careful budget drawn up of the. League
expenses and divided them among’ the
29°powérs according to the Postal

sea Union System—of—dixision,named—in
_the-"Covenant—as—a~—suitable~ model.

This “system-originated-with-stamps-for-
apportioning postage rates.and divided

number of units each. The ambitious

_states-had-themselves pat-in-the-high-

est classes with the result that Abys-
sinia and- England paid the same rate.
This system, naturally, did not work
out for the League finances. However,
a letter was sent to each of the League
powers, drafted after the usual manner’
of diplomatic business, as’ a hopeful
suggestion that each nation would
propose to pay its proportionate
amount to the League. Those who
could pay at once were Denmark who
offered to pay from the King’s own
royal grant, and Siam which had no
Parliament. . The Secretariat was aided
in staving off its debts the. first year
by the Duchess of Marlborough’s loan
of her house, by borrowing its furni-
ture and by getting its stationery from
His Majesty's Stationery Office on
credit: ste ‘ -

The League was officially born on
January 10, 1920, when a sufficient
number of states had signed. . Until
then Sir Eric Drummond and Sir Her-
bert Ames had been on their own; the
Council held its first meeting on Janu-
ary 16 in Paris, and met often through-
out the year. In July it was décided
that President Wilson should call to-
gether an assembly in November at
ig es and that’ the Council should
go t6wn earlier and establish head-
quarters. Sir. Herbert, the Secretary-
General, and. Mr.. Howard. Houston,
‘went to Geneva in search of a house,
and after surmounting the difficulty of
making’ out a bill of sale to such a
nebulous organization as the League,
they bought the Hotel National for
$1,000,000 to be paid in ten six-month
installments. The covenant was
amended in 1923 giving the Assembly
the right to appoint their own system

using the gold franc before the war,
after it there was no gold in use and
no two countries had the same money
or the same rate of depreciation. Sir
Herbert had a ‘gold franc made re-

the weakness may have been lain in
the inadequacy of the lines. Mr. Hunt,
