(Gleaned from Dr. Fenwick’s Lecture)
Trenton faced an embarrassing
situation last week when its unem-
ployed marched into the New Jersey
State Legislature and decided to pass
a bill for relief. The State has been
deadlocked over the question of taxes,
and the governor claims he*has no
fight to pass a taxation bill. Never-
theless, the resolution has been voted
by the unemployed, and New Jersey is
declared to be in a state of insurrec-
tion, but the governor has done
nothing about it.
.The majority of the Puerto Rican
population has decided that it would
like to be admitted into statehood in
order to obtain a-certain degree of
self-government and to avoid the high
tariff on importations. In reality the
island would like to be free, but this
would mean a high tariff on its pro-
ducts. Senator Tydings is now going
to introduce a bill which will place
a referendum before the Puerto
Ricans on the question of freedom.
The question at the present moment
is, who are the heirs of Thomas Jeff-
erson? He believed in the ability of
the people. to govern themselves and
to learn by their mistakes. Further-
more, he believed in states’ rights as
opposed to centralized government.
Today the Democrats advocate
measures for relief, distribution of
wealth and old age pensions, all of
which would have been very agree-
able to Jefferson. These measures,
however, must be carried out by a
centralized government which Jeffer-
son repudiated.
Therefore President Roosevelt never
mentioned the famous Republican-
Democrat. Instead, his speech resem-
bled more. an essay on political econ-
omy, the substance of which was that
one state can’t be indifferent to thé
welfare of the others.

she believes, that such bills as the
Tydings-McCormick bill concerning
the strict arrest of pickets who ap-
peal to national guardsmen for clem-
ency; the Dyes deportation measures,
the Kremer seditions bill and others
have been-introduced. With Germany
and Italy for examples, it is clear
that such tendencies, if matured,
would tend to produce war.
A program to diminish the likeli-
hood of war would entail such aims
as: measures to curtail the manufac-
ture of armaments and means to
abolish profit in their manufac-

trality should be maintained by the
United States in dealing with-warring
nations. Also the exploitation of
Latin American countries and the Far
East by larger powers should be op-
posed. ,
Mary Dimmock, ’39,. the next
speaker, also believed that the reduc-
tion of armaments was “the key to
world peace.” It is admitted, how-
ever, that to define the amount neces-
sary to maintain a defense is a diffi-
cult question. No arms or ingre-
dients useful to war should be shipped
to belligerent nations, yet a diffi-
culty arises when we come to re-
strict all trade with them. It has been
invariably demonstrated that, isolation
being impossible, a nation who wishes
to function as neutral may be inter-
preted as acting partially. Therefore
the only possible solution would be
world harmony, springing from the
mutual confidence invoked by a gen-
eral redistribution of arms, with a
large nation logically setting the ex-
ample.

Eleanor Fabyan, ’36,-declared that

England is particularly eager for
peace. It was there that in 1933 the

fused ever to fight for their country
wag originated. It has since found
many adherents in this country as well
as abroad. In a poll taken in recent

From Other Worlds
A significant localized: controversy
has occurred at the University of
Michigan. There the editors of the
Daily have put the bee on the library
officials for not including in their files
the important recent works about the
working classes. Only the journalism
library has them, they contend. As
significant books not accepted in the
regular library they name Land of
the Free, To Make My Bread and
Crisis of the Middle Class.
