NEW WAR BROPHESIED



Norman Thomas; executive directof* of

the League for Industrial Democracy, }»

author of America’s Way Out, and
former Socialist candidate for President,
spoke in Goodhart Hall last Thursday
night on “Socialism, a Program for
Democracy.” The lecture was the last of
a-series'on Communism, the New. Capi-
talism and Socialism, held under the aus-
pices of the Liberal Club. Discussion in
the Common Room . followed = Mr.
Thomas’ speech.

“It is almost too easy,” Mr. Thomas
began, “especially since the stock market
crash of October, 1929, to convince peo-
ple of the unsoundness of our present
economic . order. Even Al ‘Smith and

that our economic system is not perfect.
The real difficulty is in persuading people
to do’ something about it. There are far
too many people ‘talking like .Com-
like Republicans.’ ”’

The status quo is usually defended to-
day on the grounds that things are far
better than they used to be. Such a
test is invalid; the real question’ is not
how much conditions have improved but
how good they are in proportion to what
they might* be.

tioning attitude, disillusion, pessimism
The preva-
lence of admiration among certain classes
for such racketeers as Al Capone is
further proof of the moral weakness of
the age. A strong age has standards,
however wrong... And yet-Al-Capone-is
not very different as a hero from John D.
Rockefeller. One endows colleges, the
other soup kitchens.

Sir Philip Ben Greet and his brilliant
cast of English players are to give a
performance of Twelfth Night in Good-
hart on Friday, April 17. After the suc-
cess of their 1929-30 transcontinental tour,
the company has rettirned again this year,

.adding Macbeth, As You Like It and
Hamlet (second quarto) to Twelfth
Night, Everyman and Hamlet — (first
quarto ).

These Shakespearean productions have
set the standard both in England and in
America, for Sir Philip, who has been on
the stage for fifty years and has taught

more actors than, any living man, is!

world-famous as one of the greatest
living authorities on the English drama.
The plays are presented in the true Eliza-
bethan manner, modified only by the use
of richer and more elaborate ¢ hangings
thati‘were originally used. The simplicity
of his productions, based. on the
that. “the stage should stimulate and in-
spire rather than relieve the imagination,”
together with the skill-of the actors: in}
the art of speaking words, keep intact
the significance ofthe plays.

Professor Laski Speaks on the “Future of
Parliamentary Government in England”



Chief Weaknesses of a System Outmoded in Application to Modern
Society Are Useless Second Chamber and Autocratic
Cabinet; Socialistic Reconstruction Urged. .



PARLIAMENT MUST FILL ECONOMIC NEEDS OR FAIL



The MaNory Whiting Webster Me-
morial Lecture in History was given
this year by Professor Harold J. Laski,
Professor of Political Science at the
University of London, Labour Member
of Parliament, and author of many
books on Political Economy.

Speaking on “The Future of Parlia-
mentary Government in England,” Mr.
Laski found the chief defect of the
present system to be the almost com-
plete subjection of Parliament to a
small and autocratic group of ministers,
and the only solution, without revolu-
tion, a shift to socialistic standards.

“A hundred years ago the House of
Commons-—was—the..centre “of all that
was essential to national life; discus-
sion there illumined national thought,”
although, as Bagehot said in 1867, “The
only cure for admiration for the House
of Lords is to go look at it.” There
is today no need for a second chamber
which under a Conservative govern-
ment is sOmnambulent, and, under a
Liberal. government, furious.

The Commens have lost the initia-
tive in legislation,
perident upon the Cabinet chosen from
their ranks. Daily discussion is not of
great importance, for if a question is
too vital, the minister concerned de-
clares it not‘for public view.- The
independence of the private member is
gone, and he is now a unit in a voting
system; he thinks
party voting is essential to
prevent dissolution. “The main—deci-
sions lie outside the Commons, witness
the brief debates and little questioning
of the results of the Imperial Confer-
ence of this year, of the Indian Con-
ference which was the most momentous

problem and Lord Passfield’s White
Paper. The House accepts these con-
clusions, and does not see them again
till they are formulated in a bill which
must be passed if the Anglo-Indian
situation is not to be upset. Finally,
the pressure of business is so great as
to curtail the governmental activities -
of the members.

Because of this, there -has been a
great and desirable growth of dele-
gated legislation. In the nineteenth
century, every law was settled in detail
in regular session; now the govern-

|ment passes a number of statutes, and

the departments can supply the suit-
able details. The effective organ of
government has passed from the House
of ‘Commons “to the departments of
state, and the main ‘reason for this is
economic. England is no longer the
richest nation, her ruling class no
longer so firmly established that con-
cessions will not alter the central bal-
ance of power. Economic supremacy
is gone,.and party quarrels are now
based not on problems of liberty but

“We have now,” deqlared Mr. Laski,

Assuming the hypothesis that Me-
Donald will be defeated and” Baldwin
will come .back and reconstruct the
House of Lords on the lines of the pro-
posals of 1925, a Labour government
would be unable to carry any legisla-
tion, and a governmental deadlock
would ensue. The solution of this
problem is either single chamber gov-
ernment, or the construction of a
second chamber so completely deprived
of any legislative authority as not to
act-as such. It is impossible to have
a second chamber and maintain the
hypothesis of equalitarianisuy,

. The Library









The reading and reserve rooms of the Library were open to students |

on Sunday mornings for the first time this year. A large number availed
themselves of their privileges. As. many.gs forty-three were in the read-

ing room at twelve o’clock and, doubtless, a. number of others used it |

at other hours of the morning. =~ ~~ 3

_ The fact that there was an unannounced tag to the opening may be
the source of considerable annoyance. . The editorial of the News of
October 29 particularly asked that no changes be made in the rules for
returning books, and the fifty-three students whose vote on the subject
was recorded in the News of February 18 voted with the explicit under-
standing that the rules concerning books should remain unchanged. The
advantage sought was that of a quiet spot for Sunday mornings—a desire
whose satisfaction in no way involves the further circulation of books.

_____ There is a great difference between the expected terms and those
-finally secured. It-is possible that many students-would-prefet thatthe

library remain closed if its opening must involve forfeit of the old privi-
leges. The student point of view stressed only peace and quiet. The
studénts may find, however, that the value of peace and quiet is too small
to compensate for this unheralded restriction, whose necessity is not
demonstrated.

A Plea From Those Who Pull Them

Suspense is a glorious institution, but we really can’t believe that the
Bryn Mawr Faculty has never heard the saying that “There is a time and
a place for everything.” We only wish that all the agonies of quizzes were
confined to the one or two tortuous weeks -set, aside for them, but no!
Days pass after the deed is done before we learn how we did it. We
slink down back alleys, and, incidentally, use up all our cuts, only appear-
ing at intervals to learn the worst. But even as we appear so the Faculty
disappears, quizz books.clutched under arms; and no marks are forthcom-
ing. We can’t help wondering whether some less absent-minded professor
has happened upon the book of “‘Boners,” and has noted that’ fatal post-
script “Readers of this book are invited to submit other authentic Howl-
ers taken from classrooms and examination papers.” We wonder, and
yet we are sure that any Boner which it requires three weeks to find is
rather far-fetched. And besides we don’t aim, in a quizz paper, to match
our humor with that of the Washington High School, Milwaukee, Wis-
consin; we aim to please our professors, and whether or not we have a
good eye we think suspense is out of place when for three solid weeks it
separates our best efforts from our just desserts.

‘Applause

The News, once again under a new administration, feels no neces-
sity to affirm the continuity of its tradition. It has emerged, week after
week, for sixteen years under efficient and capable editorship, to record
the events and ideas offered in college life and to furnish ideas of its own.
Occasionally the right of the News to existence has been questioned on
the ground that it has held itself aloof from student activity and opinion.
We object to this criticism as unjust. The News has always offered its
columns as a forum for individual or group discussions and by its com-
ments-and criticisms has voiced what it felt to be the views of the student





- body as a whole.

The News has been especially fortunate in the vigor of its adminis-
tration during the past year. The Editor-in-Chief worked constantly
e goal—to gain official recognition of the causes the News
champiots through the media of editorials or communications. Her suc-
cess in this was complete, and she has left to the present Editorial Board
the opportunity to férmulate-and implement active opinion as well as reg-
ister it. We can only attempt to use this responsibility carefully and
wisely, and with full_realization.of. the debt we owe for it to our retiring

her voice had almost given out in re-

remarkable that so much of its- pleasing
quality remained and that the appeal of
her acting was not lost. Together’ with
Yum-Yum,_ Pitti-Sing and: Pee-Bo, T.

the necessary daintiness for the “Three

On the whole, consistently good acting

by Ko-Ko, F. Fuller, 19. The use of
extreme simplicity in scenery was unfor-

chorus and orm account of the dismantled
appearance of the stage when only the
principals were acting. K. McCollom,

again proved her value as pianist.

Editorial

The last two student members of the
original News Board, Mary G. Branson,
16, and Fredrika Kellogg, ’16, retired
with the last issue. Just before com-
mencement these two, with Miss Apple-
bee, planned to start a weekly paper the
next year. They felt that because of the

general indifference toward college ac-

tivities and the consequent scattered and
divided interest, some unifying factor was
necessary. The question of a weekly
paper had already been discussed by the
whole college’ and had been generally
condemned, so a further plan was—sug-
gested that if this. weekly paper failed,
they should at least get out a bulletin of ,
Athletic and Christian Association news.
Isabel Foster, ’15, and Adrienne Kenyon,
15, had also decided to start a paper so
these two groups combined. To stress.
the interest in the Athletic and Christian
Associations, they asked Ruth Tinker,
15, president of the Christian Associa-
tion, and Isolde Zwecker, "15; president
of the Athletic Association, to be on the
board. The immediate success of ‘the
News proved the need of such an organ.
_The next great question was the choice
of a name for the paper. Remembering
the “Harvard Crimson,” some one sug~
gested the “Bryn Mawr Yellow,” but this
was immediately suppressed for obvious
reasons. When they had finally tri-
umphantly agreed on the innocuous “The
College News”, a paper frome a_ sister
college said that it was just like Bryn
Mawr to call its wdekly, The College
News. P*

\liss Thurston read the President’s re-
port for the year 1930-31, including a
record of the penalties given by the
executive board during the year.for in-
‘fringements of the rules of the Asso-
ciation: =

One student fined five dollars for
returning to the hall two and one-half
hours late and for indefinite registra-
tion.

Three students deprived of sixteen]

days of. privileges of absence after
10;30 and of special permission, for
failure to register and for motoring

cial permission for two weeks for un-
registered absence, after 10:30, and
fined ten dollars for climbing in and
out of a window. Another student was
given the same--penalty..for the same
offense, but deprived of* these privi-
leges for three weeks in view of her
former record,

Two students deprived of the privi-

Democracy, by «Norman Thomas, The
Macmillan Company. .

a linerica’s

up the complete misunder-
Socialism —,which — exists

To clear
standing, of

throughout America,. Norman Thomas. in

“America’s Way Out” has explained the
whole Socialistic doctrine “and its exact
relation to the twentieth century world.

He exposes, more clearly than most of
us have figured out for ourselves, the
construction of our capitalistic civiliza-
tion and the evils it causes. He.traces
the growth of Socialism, through Marx-

planation of Russian Communism, at ‘the
same time showing -why. Communism is
not the answer to the American problem.
Contrary’ to the ‘Communistic idea, war
is only..possible, not inevitable;.and if it
will not bring salvation.
Democracy, in spite of its faults, is the
best form of government; and Socialism
is the best hope. of curing those faults.
As proof Mr. Thomas gives the phi-
losophy of Socialism and applies it to
our political theory, our labor and eco-
nomic problems, to the individual, and to.
internationalism. He is full of optimism, |
for he believes that our troubles lie, not
in the new power: of this so-called “ma-
chine age,’ but in our. misuse of that
power. Socialism is the corrective for
tlvis- misuse, ‘“‘a philosophy adequate to
our times—in litle with immediate needs.” |




Three hundrgd pages is a very small
space to enfoJA such a vast subject. Mr.
-Thonias has not merely written a few

He has used ‘exact sta-
tistics and proofs of each point, but he
has had the discrimination to cut down

generalizations.

his hook to a conciseness that éliminates
tediousness and a clarity that is easily
understood. His criticism is fearless« and
sometimes not without: a twinkle of
irony. At the’ same time he is absolutely
unprejudiced -and. weighs both. sides .of
each question. Whether one

detract from the pleasure and constructive
thought found in reading it.

THE COLLEGE NEWS



Future of

Parliamentary Government in England”



Centinued from Page One’ 1
discussion to give information.

Every local government should have
the power to do exactly as it likes eéx-
cept in national affairs. This change,
apart from the creativeness it would
give the local government, would save
Parliament twenty-eight’ days a year:
Finally, our legislature is.a territorial
one, and it is difficult to obtain proper
proportionality between trades and pro-
fessions, so that an industrial Parlia-
ment would be impossible. It would
be difficult to build industrial assem-

_blies, but the House of Commons is

not a place for discussion of their
_ problems. The centre of ‘industry
should be in industry, and the creation
of appropriate institutions is funda-
mental.

. “Success or failure depends upon
three. things outside Parliament’s
power,” stmmarized Mr. Laski., They
are: first, the solving in a democratic
society of the problem of the press,
and the supplying of truthful and au-
thentic news. Secondly, Parliament
will operate only where approximate
economic equality exists. Constitu-
tional government on one side arid eco-
nomic autocracy on the other is too
flagrant to continue. Unless Parlia-
ment can show the capacity to move
toward the satisfaction of economic de-
sires and needs, it will fail.’ Finally,
there is the need of international peace.
“But, we must admit that,.were_ the
February ‘Disarmament Conference to
fail, we would be nearer war than at
any time since 1914. The outbreak of
war would be lead to a general strike
tantamount to revolution, leaving ne,
—element—_of—_the—present Parliament
standing. “We need inventiveness*more
profoundly than ever before. The old
traditions have used themselves up, and
the time has come for new thought
which. will lead to the establishment _of
~a free’ democracy, for only in a free
democracy can the soul of man reach
its largest fulfillment.”

Following the formal lecture, Mr.
Laski replied to questions bearing on
recent practical conditions in. British
politics. The new electoral reform
which provides for alternative choice
and, voting by preference he believes
will whittle down the danger of a’ gov-
ernment having a majority out of pro-
portion to the votes it polled. It also
provides for reduction of campaign
expenses to fourpence a vote, but was
defeated in seeking abdlition of. the
university representation.

As to the alignment of parties, he
prophesies that the Conservatives will
go on without serious split, that ‘only
a handful of disturbing Liberals will
remain in fifteen years, and that the
future of the Labour party depends on
how quickly it goes out of power. If
it continues in power under McDonald,
party quarrels will result, and he will
be left with a handful of distinguished
intellectuals. If he is defeated, the
party will come in again under Arthur
Henderson, who can reintegrate it.

In conclusion, Mr. Laski does not
expect to see tariff reform made a
major issue by Labour, despite the fact
that the majority of the party are bitter
free traders, as he is himself, because
industrial feeling in the North is very
strong for restriction, and also because,
should Baldwin return, as he undoubt-
edly will, special relations will be set
up with the Dominions in the next

Imperial Conference, so that Labour



delegates will be compelled to fall in
line.

Mr. Laski.-is. the sixth.historian to
lecture at Bryn Mawr on the Mallory
Whiting Webster Memorial Founda-
tion. Professor Conyers Bead, of Chi-
cago University, opened the series in
1926 with the subject of “Good Queen
Bess.” Professor Michael Ivanovich
Rostovtzeh, of Yale, spoke on.“Mystic
Pompeii’ in 1927; Professor T. F.
Tout, Historian, of Mediaeval Eng-
land, on “Mediaeval Women” in 1928;
Dr. Charles .McLean Andrews, of
Yale, and sometime of Bryn Mawr, on
“Our Colonial History” in 1929, and
Miss Eileen Power on “Mediaeval
Ideas About Women,” last year.

Halide Edib, Foremost
Turkish Woman, to Speak

Halide Edib, who is probably Turkey's
foremost woman, will deliver a lecture
in Goodhart on Wednesday, the 22d, on
“Turkey Faces West.” She is visiting
lecturer on Intellectual Trends in Turkish
History at Barnard. But this is but
one of her roles: she is novelist, sociolo-
gist, nationalist, dramatist, in addition to
orator and educator. Her life would pro-
vide material for more than one novel.





‘During ‘the upheaval in Turkey she

escaped across Turkey in winter, journey-
ing from Constantinople to Angora.
When the new Parliament opened there
in April, 1920, two months after the un-
forgettable night of March 16, she was

Madame Halide has an especial interest
in America. She was the first Moslem
girl to take a Bachelor of Arts degree
from the American College for :Girls in
Constantinople. She showed her faith in
Americans when, as a result of her first

Madamé Halide, according to the

women of the new Turkey are seeking.”

nouncement of the project was made
recently by Dr. H. J. Burgstahler, presi-
dent of Cornell College.

Interested students who rank in the

‘upper oné-fourth of their classes ‘may
make application for consideration. From
this number as many as twenty or
twenty-five students may be accepted
finally as members of the group. The
final selection will' be based on: (1) a
battery of tests, including tests over the
content of high school courses, tests of
special scholastic aptitude, a silent read-
ing test, a psychological examination and
a personality schedule; (2) rating on
traits included in regular admission
blanks ‘sent out by the office of admis-
sions to all students making application
for admission to the college; (3) esti-
mates of the student’s social maturity by
those who know him intimately.
Approval of the North Central Asso-
ciation means that Cornell credits earned
by these gifted students. who may not
have presented the conventional high
school certification of 15 units of work,
will be fully accepted on the same basis

Germany. with France favored a purely
European organization to solve —Euro+
pean economic questions. England
insisted on a proviso that other nations
could enter later-so that she might not
find herself in economic opposition to
her dominions. The Indian resolution
to this effect was submitted to the
- plenary session as majority report

|. while the German. resolutidn..that—the.|_

Briand Plan be adopted with the pro-
viso that. any nation could appeal to
the League council against the organi-
zation’s decisions: made the minority
report but Switzerland’s negative vote
defeated it:“The minority report was
defeated by England and the domin-
ions. M. Shaughriessy was rapporteur
for this committee and V, Burdick pre-
sented the minority report in the
plenary. session.

The Committee’on Armaments Re-
duction discussed. the Draft Treaty
which has been prepared for the world
conference. inFebruary, 1932. Ger-
‘many, believing that armaments had
not been limited enough in comparison
with her own status, offered nineteen
reservations to the stipulations of the
Draft Convention. In the plenary ses-
sion the majority report, to adopt the
Draft Treaty and bring up the German
reservations for later discussion was
accepted. Germany refrained from
voting, showing her desire to draft a
more liberal treaty along the lines laid
out in the Covenant.

_ Poland Leaves League

In the discussion on the Polish Cor-
ridor, Poland was intransigent, refus-
ing to consider any change in the
status quo. ° It was first voted to return
Danzig to Germany, and the Polish
delegation replied by leaving the.com-
mittee and the League.
reconsideration Danzig was returned to
its previous situation under Polish eco-
nomic and political control, Germany
joined France in a compromise agree-
ment by which certain Polish posses-
sions were to be internationalized and
Germany gave up most of her claims
on Polish territory. This. agreement,
submitted to the plenary session as the
majority report, was rejected. by
Poland and_the Little: Entente.

Much of the work attempted and
accomplished was vitally interesting,
* and the discussions were often capable
and vigorous. There was a ‘tendency
in some instances however toward
quibbling and. arguing on very minor
points of order which impeded the
progress and interest of the debates.
Mr. James G. McDonald, speaking at
lunch on March 27 .and again at. the
banquet on the following evening,
pointed out these and other faults in
the procedure of the Model Assembly

When on a

of Alexander Hall and demanded the
-privilege of speech.. Their most-con-
structive suggestion was to put a rug
on the Polish Corridor. The Prince-
tonian also claims to have discovered
one of the notes which were bejng
passed around in commhittee. , It said
“Who is this guy Briand. anyway?”
and on the back were nine games of tit-
tat-toe.

Ecoutons cette, autre voix, qui est
touchante; celle de miss Mignon ‘Sherley.
D’une part, elle proclame une dette, avec
gratitude, avec affection. “La France est
devenue pour moi une seconde patrie,”
dit-elle ;. “la France est devenue pour moi
une’ partie réelle de cette complexité
d’ame qui cause a la fois l’intérét et le
maJheur de la vie intérieure et psytholo-
gique de nous autres, modernes.” Rich-
esse intérieure, complexité, variété dans
l'unité; voila la France. Et chaque
Frangais semble porter en lui-méme le
souvenir de. l’évolution historique de son
pays ;.son ame est lourde de.tout le passe.
“La France est comme une de ses cathé-
drales marveilleuses ; l’unité de construc-
tion est la; mais aussi tout'le détail ex-
}quis.”° On n’a qu’a chercher pour trou-
ver, en France. Si- on aime la vie

et fortes. On voudrait les essai tout
au long, ces confessions réfléchies; qu'il
me soit permis d’en citer une encore, qui
n’est pas la moins remarquable, et qui se
distingue par 1a fermeté de son accent.
“Comme Ameéricaine,, dit miss Sylvia
Markley, ce qui m’a frappé le plus en
France, c'est le contraste .entre le grand
et le petit, entre le nouveau et |’ancien,
et les effects matériels et spirituels de
|ces différences entre: mon pays natal et
mon pays adoptif.” Ce contraste ‘s'est
fait .voir aussit6t en arrivant, dans les
petits champs des paysans qui semblaient
si curieux a nos yeux accoutumés aux
immenses terrains américains, qui se
déroulent sans fin. Que ces petits champs
se sont attachés.a nos coeurs pendant tous
trios voyages! Je me rappellerai toujours
le paysage vu du Mont-Blanc, qui ressem-
blait de cette hauteur. a de l’étoffe écos-
saise. Par toute la France les moindreés
coins de terre sont cultivés, les foréts
soignées, les arbres bien arrangés en deux
rangs égaux le long: des petits’ chemins
aussi bien que des grandes routes. Toutes
ces caractéristiques du paysage m’ont im-
pressionnée; mais j’ai appris pett a peu
que ce n’étaient la ‘que des signes extéri-
eurs. du caractére francais; soin,; netteté,
précision. Cela caractérise la ménageére
qui arrange les chambres et les tiroirs de
sa_maison, le savant-quitravaille-.avec
précision méthodique, aussi bien que le
paysan’ qui cultive .si soigneusement ses
champs. Puis, l'économie de la terre n’est
qu'un reflet de l’esprit frangais. . C’est
encore une caractéristique fort différente
pour’moi. Nous, Américains, qui ache-
tons pour ‘ainsi dire d’abord et-qui gag-
nons aprés, trouvons avec étonnement
qu’on. comprend les choses tout autrement
en France, ef qu’on y gagne plutdét deux
fois avant de dépenser une, fois. . .°.
“Quant au contraste entre le nouveau
et l’ancien, que faut—il en dire? Les
signes extérieurs ne sont que trop évi-
dents et trop connus pour les commenter.
Et l’esprit—comment exprimer cette’ im-
pression du. fardeau..de la civilisation (si
jose lappeler. ainsi) que porte le Fran-
cais dés les premiers jours de son éduca-
tion, et que je n’ai-commencé a com-
prendre qu’aprés ‘bien des mois en
‘Europe? Je ne dirai méme pas que je le
comprends maintenant, ou que iy arri-
verai jamais entiérement, puisqu’on com-
prent difficilement avec l’esprit ce“ qui
représente un état d’ame. II est difficile
de concevoir cet état, qui est le résultat de
tant de siécles. Les générations qui ont
précéde le Francais d’aujourd’hui vivent
encore en lui,—les philosophes, les psy-
chologues, les penseurs, d’hier ont tous
laissé leurs traces sur ‘l’4me moderne.
Le résultat est un raffinement presque in-
connu en Amérique, une recherche dans
les profondeurs de l’ame et dans les sen-
timents qu’on y trouve. Tout cela se
refléte dans l’art et dans les sentiments
qu’on y trouve. Tout cela se refléte dans
l'art. et dans la musique modernes, en
France. Mais, pour donner un exemple
plus concret, je pourrais citer citer mon
étonnement, un jour, quand une amie
m’a dit qu’on a demandé a une petite fille

ce qu'elle sent en faisant une promenade

ses sefisations! Il était incroyable pour
moi qu’on demandat“a une enfant si jetine

“Je dois dire a ce propos que Il’éduca-

Il est inutile de répéter ce que tout le

plus sur le cété—jntellectuel en France

Women Win Collegiate |
Good Sleep Contest

_ Hamilton, N. Y.—Girls are far better
sleepers than men, according to Dr. Don-
ald Laird, “expert” on the subject. of
sleep and professor of psychology at Col-
gate University, where a recent. sleep
survey was-held.

An intercollegiate good sleep contest
was held between the men at Colgate and .
the women at Skidmore College.

Resulting figures showed that girls
have less trouble going to sleep, wake
up fewer times during the night, are less
restless, and have fewer dreams.

In addition, fewer girls have to be
called twice in-the morning and in gen-
eral feel more peppy and less grouchy and
are less foggy mentally in the morning.

Professor Laird attributes this to the
theory that members of the feminine sex
are neither as active physically
mentally as men. :

“Only four hours may be sufficient to
recuperate physically,” he maintains, “but
mentally men may need eight hours more

to be completely rested.”—N. S. F. A.

Socialism Discussed
By Norman Thomas



CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

abundance, actual or potential, there is
less and less security! There is no
answer that can be made to this over-
whelming argument against Capitalism.
Increasing unemployment is leading to
increasing unrest. Workers are coming
to believe it unnecessarily ironic that be-
cause they produce too much they must
consume too little. We suffer not from
overproduction but from maldistribution.
Everywhere we see great wealth con-
trasted .with great poverty.

The war, born or imperialism, intensi-
fied nationalism. Europe is on the brink
of another war. America, economically
dependent, cannot remain aloof from
foreign wars. A_ sentimental pacifism
i trusting in Kellogg pacts and the League
of Nations is foolish. Good though they
be, these are useless to prevent war when
nations’ supreme loyalties are to amoral
states which are above ethics. To the
twin gods, Profit and The State, we have
sacrificed more\ lives than ever were
slaughtered for heathen idols. é

“I agree largely,” said Mr. Thomas,
3 “with the denunciations of the Com-
munist, Mr. Scott Nearing, whom some
of you have heard speak. I cannot agree
with his -inethods.” To avoid social
suicide we must try, with a minimum of
violence, to develop and improve Democ-
racy to provide for peace, plenty and free-

dom. “I do not assume that we shall |.

come to some easy revolution; I wish I
did believe it.” There is nothing radical
about violence; it is conservative and_re-
9..actionary. Nor is there any relation in

‘history between amount of violence and
1 -amount of social change. ' Our highly
i artificial civilization makes war suicidal.
| “Communists say ‘The World War led to
ee . the Russian revolution; the next war-will
~~Jead to world revolttion.” —They~forget
that the war led also to the Italian revo-
lution, to the growth of dictatorship and
Fascism throughout Europe. :
- The Russian revolution, although per-
haps as important a step forward as the
«French revolution, has created serious
‘problems. Science in serving the state
is in danger of becoming dogmatic rather
than experimental; civil liberty is denied;
the people have had to undergo hardships
which our people perhaps could not bear.
The Russian revolution was accomplished
through violence and dictatorship but we
must not accept lightly the inevitability
of these things. We must organize to
uphold peace and democracy.

We need a new outlook on life. We
need to Jearn to co-operate, to learn to
feel that there is no shame greater: than
being a passenger in the lifeboat of life,
Individualism is already dead. We must
outline a program for socialism that will
carry us on further. Plans for nafional
and international reform must be thought
out in detail. .When the revolution comes
plans to direct it must be ready.

Working. under existing problems is
not a hopeless problem. Public owner-
ship, public works, proper taxation, un-
employment insurance, wars against pov-
erty, disease, tyranny and war can be ad-
vocated. We must aim’ far production
for use not for profit.. Technilogical and
cyclical unemployment can never be got
rid. of when production is for profit as
it now Above all we must work in
humdrum organizations as well as dream.
-We must form a political organization
that stands for something.

Civil disobedience rather than violence
should become our weapon.’ It does not
mean compromise but merely avoiding
the barricades rather than manning them.
“There are barricades today
ficiently strong to hide behind.”

merely as a suggestion of the condi-

Women Sustain Family x

Although the Soviet regime has dis-
carded private enterprise and frankly
discourages religion, it never. wanted’
to destroy the family. By brushing
aside the external forces it has been
compelled to be: sustained. by its own
inner forces. Marriage and divorce are
as easy to obtain as a milk-shake in
America; yet infinite care is taken to’
protect the children, so much so that
there is an intreasing overpopulation.
The peasant children don’t ‘die. “In
spite of everything the family is sur-
viving. The reason for’ this may be
found in the quality of the Russian
woman. It is a pity, said Mr. Hindus,
that foreigners with slight knowledge
of the Russian tongue are not able to
come in contact with such an impor-
tant factor in.Russia as the women of

the modern woman politician and long
ago she bobbed her hair and smoked
cigarettes, - She does not play with her
emotions nor take marriage lightly and
the result is a new kind of margiage,

Because of her fidelity, marriage is not
being discarded.
