Nazi Revolution Ends
Policy of Fulfillment
Allied ‘Concessions to Germany

Have Always.Been Too
Late, Says Mrs. Dean

REVISION IS INEVITABLE







“Despite the overcharged atmo-
sphere of Europe at present, there is
no immediate prospect of war,” said
Mrs. Vera Micheles Dean, beginning
the second of her lectures, The New
European Balance of Power, in Good-
hart Hall, Monday evening, Novem-
ber 6. The Hitler government is not
yet ready for a major conflict, but
if the demand of the vanquished for
the revision of the Versailles Treaty
fails to provoke satisfactory, peaceful
adjustment, war or a series of wars
will beyond doubt eventually result.

The Nazi revolution nas created
profound changes in Europe. It has
crystallized tendencies implicit there
since the World War, and has precipi-
tated developments which may lead
to a new political alignment in Europe.
The Hitler government is the most
successful Germany has ever had: it
has successfully antagonized, at home,
the Communists, Socialists, liberal
Lutherans, Jews, and Pacifists;
abroad, France, Great Britain, Italy,
Auscria, Russia, Czecho-Slovakia, Po-
land, and, most surprising of all, its
old friends, Sweden and Switzerland.

Europe today is in a ferment, for
the disputes over the war treaties
have. been steadily growing ever since
the Paris Peace Conference of 1919.
The draconian terms of the Ver-
sailles treaty were dictated by hatred
of and revenge for German militar-
ism. It was impossible, that they
should long be practicable. The ideal
of creating. a basis for permanent
peace in Europe, which found fullest
expression in the Covenant of the
League of Nations, has in actualiza-
tion fallen far short of what was ex-
pected of it.

Since 1919 there has been no at-
tempt to reconsider the Peace Settle-
ment as a whole—it was modified in
1930, when France evacuated the
Rhineland: five years before the time
agreed ; it was modified again at the
Lausanne \Conference in 1932, when
Germany’s \ reparation obligations
were practically wiped out; and in
1932, when Great Britain, France,
and the United States recognized Ger-
many’s right to arms equality. But
always the crucial question of terri-
torial revision has been avoided, and
until this question is settled, Europe
can never be at peace.

On the subject of territorial re-
vision Europe is at present divided
into two camps. There ‘are on the
one hand the Revisionists,. Germany,
Austria, Hungary, and Bulgaria, sup-
ported by Italy; on the other, France,
Poland, and the Little Entente, who
wish to preserve the status quo. While
the revisionists, in case of war, could
throw an organized force of nine mil-

Fascists Have Vague

Economic Principles



Italian Labor is Organized ‘in
_ Syndicates—Corporative
State is Goal



STRIKES ARE PUNISHED



Speaking in the Deanery Library
Thursday on the Economic Principles
of Fascism, Mrs. Vera Dean. said,
“It is the great weakness of Fascism
that no broad economic program
has ever been given out.” In Italy
agriculture, banking and electro-hy-
draulics have benefited piece-meal
from the Fascist regime, while other
branches of national economy have
been completely neglected.

At present a better study of
Fascism can be made from Italy
than from Germany for the German
economic program has not as yet had
a long enough time to develop fully.
The Italian Charter of Labor stresses
the. -principle that, although the in-
terests of the state are paramount,
subordinating the interests of all
economic groups, private initiative is
not to be discarded,

There is a marked similarity be-
tween the recently developed Swope

plan for the NRA and the Italian un-,

written law that labor corporations
shall regulate themselves. The gov-
ernment limits itself to employing a
sort of auto-suggestion of its wishes
upon labor-groups. By a very close
system of statistics the government
gains, also, a knowledge of what is
occurring in every industrial field.
The Italians would, nevertheless, like
to give the impression that every
samployer and worker is so enthusi-
astic about Fascism that he is will-
ing to make any sacrifice in its in-
terests. Since all strikes, lockouts,
sabotage and boycotting interrupt la-
bor, \punishment for them is very
severe, Fascism shows its power,
and gives a reason for its existence
by its prompt action in emergencies.

In place of complete independence
of the worker, Fascism has substi-
tuted Syndicates. Syndicates °need
only include ten per cent. of the
workers in order to.make valid deci-
sions. :

Every syndicate officer must be
morally capable and interested in the
highest good of the state to be-con-
firmed in his office by the govern-
ment. The government retains at all
times the right to oust inefficient em-
ployers and to appoint others to fill
their places. This really amounts to
selection by the government. Fascist
employees and. employers form sep-
arate syndicates. The syndicates in.
turn form federations.

Amateur Players Show

Choice of Play is. Debatable;
Atalanta in Wimbledon
Requires Tempo

MORE DIRECTION NEEDED





’ The performance of Lord Dun-
sany’s comedy, Atalanta in Wimbledon,

by the candidates for the Players’
Club, last Thursday night, was a seri-
ous attempt to do highly tempoed,
light, difficult acting. The attempt
was not quite successful, but it is im-
possible in four rehearsals to achieve
high tempo and lightness of inter-
they are achieved only
when the director has time to finish
drilling the cast in action and stage
business, and then to start training
them in inflexion, gestures, charac-
terization, picking up their cues, and
building the successive scenes to an
increasingly higher pitch.

Since highly tempoed light comedy
is very seldom successfully done. by
amateurs after any number of re-
hearsals, the candidates for Players’
Club cannot be validly criticized for
not having.done it well, but their wis-
dom in choosing a play which depends
mainly on its tempo to carry its point,
is debatable. The play itself is not
one of Lord Dunsany’s best: some of
its- people are ,uncharacterized; many
of them are on the stage for only a
very short time; and their motiva-
tion on and off the stage is poor. The
exposition is too long, and when the
ping-pong game, on which the girl’s
whole future depends, is off-staged, it
carried the interest of the audience
off with it. The anti-climatical dis-
cussion of their younger days, which
takes place at the end between Dawk
and the Constable, ruins the pitch at-
tained by the climax and gives the
play a flat. ending.

Some of the acting was good. Miss
McCurdy, as the typical farce Eng-
lishman, provided a pleasant excite-
ment in contrast with the level mo-
notony of the other performances.
Miss Canaday was an attractive and
graceful heroine; she has excellent
calm and. self-possession on the stage,
but both she and Miss Terry played
all their scenes with almost no
changes of tone in their voices. Miss
Terry, as the father, portrayed very
well a philosopher gently speculating
about modern love, but her ineffectual
pacing to and fro, and her failure ever
to. abandon her gentleness made“her-a
subordinate character in all of her
-eenes. Miss Porcher, as Bill, was a
properly earnest young lover, and
showed great ability. in conveying
emotion through the inflections of her

voice. The Sergeant, played by Miss
Simpson, should have carried with

him the entire majesty of the, law; in
the beginning he did so, “but when
he was the central figure, forcing the
situation upon all the other charac-
ters, he did not convince the audi-
ence that he really had any control
over the other actors. This was the

| result partly of their failure to evince

any fear of him, and partly of the
amazing ease with which he was
overpowered. The role of Mr. Leon-
ard, acted by Miss Kellogg, was ade-
quately done, but. it was too small
to permit. of criticism..

The set was extremely good. The
room was attractive; fully furnished,
and looked as though it had really
been lived in. The lighting gave the
bright effect suitable for light com-
edy, although the audience would
have realized more easily that the
play took place in the morning if a
flood of sunlight had been sent
through the terrace door. The cos-
tumeés, thanks to the faculty and the
police department; were perfectly
authentic.

The direction of this play was its

MARION EDWARDS PARK.







President Park Attends
St. Louis Alumnae Dinner



President Park was one of seven
Eastern women’s college presidents
who attended a dinner in St. Louis
given November 2 by college alum-
nae. The occasion was intended to
center public attention on the common
need of the seven women’s colleges
for greater endowments.

Walter Lippmann, giving the prin-
cipal address, did not make any speci-
fic plea for funds, but pointed out
that men’s colleges received about
thirty times as much money in 1932
as women’s colleges. Mr. Lippmann
emphasized the value of privately sup-
ported colleges in giving diversity to
American education, as contrasted to,
and prewenting the stagnation which
would result from, a government mo-
nopoly of education. Women col-
lege graduates, he declared, have
made notable contributions in many
fields of activity.

The other guests of honor at the
dinner were Miss Virginia Gilder-
sleeve, Dean of Barnard College; Miss
Mary E. Woolley, president of Mount
Holyoke; Miss Ada _ L. . Comstock,
president of Radcliffe; William Allan
Nielson, president of Smith; Henry
Noble McCracken, president of Vas-
sar, and Miss Ellen Fitz Pendleton,
president of Wellesley.

Miss Park Considers
Autos Distracting







Students Are Forbidden to Rent,
Drive or Own Cars in
Vicinity



RADIOS PERMISSABLE



“Those questions which arise in
connection with the use of victrolas,
radios, and cars by students resident
in the college are in the hands of
the administration and of the admin-
istration’s representatives in the
halls—the wardens,” said . President
Park, speaking in chapel Tuesday
morning in an attempt to clear up the

in the undergraduate mind. concern-
ing these subjects.

Since the purpose of the rules
made in connection with radios and
victrolas has been to reduce the noise
in the halls and make them as well
adapted to the needs of those who wish
to study as is possible, in the past
radios have been allowed, only if-they
were of the battery variety and equip-
ped with ear-phones. The regulation
concerning the ear-phones is still in
force, for no matter how softly a ra-
dio plays the sound is penetrating.
and very: distracting—the more-so if
it is not clear, since the casual lis-
tener strains every nerve to catch the
words or the tune and pieces in what
cannot be heard. However, it has
been found possible to allow the in-
stallation of battery sets if they are
used in place of one of the lights
which the student has in her room.
The rule réads that no student shall
have’ more than two lights in her
study, a regulation made necessary
by the enormous load which the pow-
erhouse is carrying,-and by the dis-
astrous effects’ which would result
from serious overtaxing. Anyone de-
siring to install a plugged-in set
should see. her warden and have ar-

Faculty Contribute Selves and Goods
to Scavengers for Hallowe’en Frolic



Hallowe’en night the Seniors gave
the Freshmen a_ scavenging party

}that had the better elements of Re-

straint Necessary and a dog fight, At
9.30, the deadline for the return of
the scavengers, a collection of objects
poured into the Common Room that
will make every future function there
seem very pedestrian. In fact, it is
probable that such a rare collection
will never be assembled again in the
college or in the world.

Mrs. Chadwick-Collins, in evening
dress and baby bonnet, was the sen-
sation of the evening and»gave the
Hardenberg-Jackson-Muller - Seltzer
team its winning score. Not only did
she give herself, but also presented
the scavengers with a mousetrap,
Princeton freshman cap, dog, frater-
nity pin, rubber boot, empty beer bot-
tle, and tried to procure Lady Chat-
terley’s Lover.

This generosity was rivalled by
the good-will and immolation of selves
and goods by other members of the
faculty and administration. The pro-
fessors who appeared sporting red
ties, as specified in the scavenging
list, were a smal] army: M. Canu,
Dr. Flexner, Dr. Nahm (paie pink),
Dr. Miller, Miss Taylor (her tie a
gaudy check), Dr. Crenshaw (cap-
tured in dinner jacket), Miss Gard-
ner (who also contributed Molly and
a worm), and Miss Lograsso. °Miss
Hawkins was there to keep tabs: on
her contributions—a potato, for
“something . suggested by ‘Lazy
Bones,’” and a Flit Gun. A “Long-
sleeved nightgown (not silk)” was
entrusted to the searchers by Mrs.
King,. and» Mrs. Manning’s hairpins
were handed out wholesale by Mr.
Manning, who took advantage of the
occasion to play cheerful Lord Boun-
tiful.

Jill, the Manning dog, did not_es-

|| cape the general conscription of “live

dogs” which swept a canine horde







into the May Day Room. Some of





them got down into the Common
Room, where cookies, hot dogs, coffee
and cider were being freely handed
about, and we only hope they didn’t
regret it the next day.. But most
of them stayed upstairs along with
the rest of the loot, which ranged
from “special deliveries from New
Haven” to cigars Altogether the
May Day Room looked like a dog
pound and second-hand ‘store | coms
bined. |

There was a strange lack of exhib-
its’ for “the funniect thing’; but
there were some original. bits: Grad-
uated Exercises in Articulation; an
implement from one of the hall bath-
rooms, and the President of Seif-
Gov. Yet the comparative dearth of
“funniest things” was.made up for
by the teams which produced “an eye-
lash curler,” two “sophomores in gold
lame evening dress” (Poke Hoyt and
Pauline Manship, who added
touch of elegance to the Comm
Room gathering). *y

At one point in the evening a fresh-
man scavenging party came into con-
flict with a murky group of small
boys from the village, whose aims
were quite different. They were scav-
enging for three kisses, for which
they were to get a quarter from a
nameless donor at an unknown party.
They were. coldly refused.

After several hazards and exhaust-
ing sprints around the campus, the
members of the winning team, led by
Hardenberg, were rewarded by a cor-
sage apiece, and the second best, led
by Steinhart, with diminutive orna-
ments. Anita Fouilhoux, who ar-
ranged all this fun and frolic, hand-_,
ed out the prizes, and. announced that=
the dogs could go home to their own-
ers. The evening ended, for the
freshmen, in a mad scramble to re-
trieve their borrowed collections, and

for everyone, like the Rover Boys, .

with a vote that “they had had a
bully good time.” |

From Tub to Telephone’

It has been said that the longevity “ui our civilization depends
upon the maintenance of the great unwritten laws of the race and the
perpetration of traditions founded on the bed rock of living. All this
sounded pretty far away to us when we came to college, but the longer
we live within these ivied halls the more the great work which is being
done here impresses us. If all institutions would take as much interest
in the care and reproduction of unwritten laws as the college does,
we would. be well launched on the glory road. Probably the law which
exerts the most pressure on our lives is that calling for the shrouding
of all persons calling us on the telephone in a deep blanket of secrecy.
On no grounds is it permissible to ask who is calling, for to tell would
be violating the unwritten law and that, needless to say, would be’
treason to Bryn Mawr, and consequently to civilization. It baffled us
a bit when we first came to college—all this business about concealing
the identity of the telephoner from the telephonee—but we see what
is behind it now and have withdrawn our objections.

The present procedure, in the event a young thing is called on that
instrument of fun and frolic, is something that it takes years to catch
onto and a great many more to hang onto. When the ’phone rings'
there is no immediate reaction, because to answer before a wait of five
minutes might indicate eagerness or a constant attendance at the ‘phone,
which would seem to indicate that we really care if anyone calls us up.
After the proper time has been allowed to elapse, the ’phone is an-
swered apathetically, so that the caller-upper will think the person
is worn out as a result of all the telephonic activity that has preceded
him. He then declares his intentions as to whom he will speak with
and thereupon off goes the answerer to call the individual wanted.
When that creature. is located the information about being wanted on
the phone is carefully withheld until there can be no doubt that she
is the woman of the hour—time already having been dissipated by
looking for her in the room where she lived’ last year, in the room
where a very good friend of hers studies over the week-end, in the tub
room on the corridor above her, and finally in the room where she
lives, waiting for a word from the outside world. Having found her,
the messenger tells her briefly “Telephone” and rushes away, leaving
her to search her conscience as to who is after her at the moment.
Having come to the conclusion that it is the light that gleams in the
dark hours-from Princeton, she rushes to the ’phone, seizes the receiver,

™S

“and coos into the ‘thing, only to: find that it is Dr. Wagoner wanting

her to come and have a blood count taken. Another time she picks up

the receiver, suspecting that she is about to hear from the credit depart-

ment of the Greek’s; and therefore is on the defensive, vocally speaking,
only to find that she is basking in the favor of Yale. It is a little
difficult—that set-up—because the first snarl must be explained and
the excuse of a bad cold or a headache will not last forever.. Then
there is the ease of the student into whose ear “Telephone” is hissed
just-as she is splashing in the tub. In vain she asks for some inkling
as to who the summoner is, but the same stolid loyalty to the traditions
that have made us great gives her only silence as an answer. She
leaps to her feet, flings a bathrobe on over the Ivory soap and green
bath salts, and rushes dripping to answer what surely can be nothing
other thian the call of the wild. Feeling weak and willing, she sighs
into the ‘phone and is informed that the Delineator may now be had
for $.50 if it is taken in conjunction with a tube of tooth paste and
box of Kleenex at the favorite drug store. The student takes the
Delineator, tooth paste, and Kleenex, assuring the man that it is just

_what she has been wanting, and stumbles back to the tub—now very

cold—to sit and become a cynic. Embittered, she sits for days—then

..another-eall,_but the old spirit:is broken and the summons arouses

only irritation.

She therefore goes to the ‘phone and roars into it
belligerently “What?” only to find that it is Mrs. Collins who is giving
a tea and would like to have her come. She hastily says that she is

sorry, but she is very sick—did Mrs. Collins notice how hoarse she is ?—

‘and hangs up, to return to her room and think about all the sandwiches
she would have eaten if she had known who was calling and had not
been so rude as to say “What” without tacking the “Mrs. Collins” on
the end, in accordance with the rules laid down at.an early age.

er all-seems hard, but we must be building character in the process
which will be very good for us in the long run and make people like
us for what we are. But perhaps we could find some other way to
grow into women of importance without becoming embittered. What
rood will do us to ve Sine: namniagiomed a none ea our friends ever

I’M NO ANGEL
I’m tired of Sundays when there’s
naught to do, .
I’m tired of steak you cannot even
chew,
I’m sick of bridge and I’m fatigued
with birds,
With tasteless teas attended by herds
Of giggling girls whose conversa-
tions |
Revolve on the faculty’s inter-rela-
. tions.
I’m sick of lecturers, who, their lily
brows mopping
Give as many facts as possible with-
out ever stopping
More than once in ten pages to clear
their throats
And give victims a chance to catch
up on their notes.
I’m weary of trees, I hate bushes
worse,
On facing a rubber plant; I simply
curse,
I can’t sleep through fire-drills, nor
through the noise am
That nightly disturbs my ill- acquired



poise.
Yet with these grievances all out-
poured,
I s’pose I’m just plain good and
bored. ~

With little pools of guppies swim-

Letters

To the- Editor of The College News:

I would like to express publicly to
Mrs. Dean my appreciation of her
first lecture. To those of us who had
begun to feel that sufficient matter,
adequate organization, clarity of
meaning and of diction, and a pleas-
ing manner were more than could be
expected of a single speaker, Mon-
day night’s lecture gives cause for
encouragement. But if indeed these
qualities combined are as rare as“‘ve'
had begun to think, then Bryn Mawr
is very fortunate in having Mrs.
Dean at the college for more t}@®
one lecture, and I for one envy the
students in the social sciences who
have the opportunity to see and hear
moré of Mrs. Dean under less yormal
circumstances.

We may certajnly feel that the
Anna Howard Shaw Memorial Foun-
dation lectureship has had a most
auspicious beginning.

Sincerely yours,
ELIZABETH MONROE.

News of the New York Theatres

Katharine Cornell began to re-
hearse her repertory company last
week and get things into shape for
the extended tour which will occupy
her during some nineteen weeks of
the present season. The casting has
been completed on Candida, the handi-
work of the well-known Mr. Bernard
Shaw, and the other two plays on the
list are getting their share of atten-
tion in the near future. They are
to be Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet
and Rudolf Bessier’s The Barretts of
Wimpole Street. At present the com-
pany includes many of those who
have been in the good graces of Broad-

way in the past arid years—Basil .

Rathbone, A. P. Kaye, Orson ‘Welles
and Brenda Forbes. The Barretts

has been filmed and is on the verge *

of being released, but Miss Cornell’s
office has put a stop to that and it
will have to sit happily in a refrig-
erator until she comes home.

Katherine Hepburn is on her way
East to tell us whether she really did
go to this dear old place we love so
well, and incidentally to appear for
Jed Harris in The Lake; the plans
being to have it on the boards by the
middle of. December. She ‘has just
come out of the San Jacinto Moun-
tains, where she has been doing her
bit for man and nature in a new
thing called Trigger—we hope, it has
no connection with the unpleasant
creature who leapt at Miriam Hop-
kins in The Story of Temple Drake,
because we couldn’t bear to think of
our Pandora being put on the spot
like that. Even her Bryn Mawr di-
ploma, which some say she has and
some say she hasn’t, wouldn’t do her
much good under those circum-
stances.

Another Bryn Mawr alumna, who
is stepping out onto the stage in ac-
cordance with her yearly program, is
Cornelia Otis Skinner. She will of-
fer another solo-drama much along
the lines of The Wives of Henry
VII. This new one is called The
Loves of Charles II, and if she has
time to go the rounds should be one
of the most lively and “fraught with
interest” evenings in store for us. It
is opening in Cincinnati and will wan-
der all over the Middle West: and
even in Canada before it comes
back.

The Great Family of the Footlights
seems to be having a time with their
finances if we are to pay any atten-
tion to the filing of some legal blud-
geon against none other than Scarlet
Sister Mary, known among her in-
timates as Ethel] Barrymore. It seems
she rented a super goody apartment
in Beekman Place ‘from a gentleman
and lived in it to great advantage,
but never got around to paying the
rent, and so now she is being evicted
on her rather stiffened nose. It is a
little sad to see her in such a fix when
one remembers that five years ago
she was a personage whom even Gen-
eral Johnson would ‘hesitate to evict
from one of his little secret orders.

There were numerous openings
during the past two weeks, but none
of them attracted much in the way
of attention except Three In One, a
comedy from the French of Denys

: Varsity Ties Merion

in Saturday’s. Game



Opponents’ Lack of . Stamina
Enables Bryn Mawr Team
to Avoid Defeat

BOTH MAKE TWO GOALS



On Saturday morning the Varsity
hockey team came up from behind to
tie the score two all in the game
with the Merion Cricket.Club.

In thé first half, the Bryn Mawr
forwards seemed unable to get away
and, as. a consequence, the Varsity
defense was hard pressed. Mrs. Wil-

bur shot the first goal for Merion
early in the game, but the backfield
stiffened up and was. able to give some
assistance to Smith, so that there
was no scoring for the remainder of
the’ first period.

‘In the second half, Merion again
took the offensive and pushed the ball
into the cage for a 2-0 lead. At: this
point Varsity took an unexpectedly
fast offensive and, in spite~of the
Flannery contingent. in the opposing
backfield, scored two goals. The last
few minutes were ones of great sus-
pense, but the Varsity forwards were
unable to break through again for a
winning goal and as the Merion for-
wards were a bit tired, there was no
further scoring.

A tied score is a point in the game
where clever stickwork and accurate



passing takes even more precedence
than usual over speed and hard hit-
ting. A little better control of the

Dall before “passing “goes a long-way
Hin getting into scoring position. Mer-

ion had the technique, but lacked the
stamina to put it across in the final
few minutes, and but for this, Bryn
Mawr would have ended the game on
the short end of the score. As, it
was, Varsity got the breaks, thi,
look out for the team that has both
skill and endurance!

Two big cases in recent years
have been decided in labor. courts in
favor of the workers rather than the
employers. The courts are respect-
ed highly by the employers. Both of
these cases concerned wages. It is
a difficulty of the syndicates that at
their creation no attempt was made
to fix minimum wages and hours. Now
that wages are falling, the worker
feels that he has gotten the wrong end



Italy cannot produce it will import;
and for that reason it has made trade
agreements, preferably of long dura-
tion, with its neighbors—for example,
a two or three-year trade arrange:
ment with Russia, a country which
has always followed the same inter-
national trading policy. Italy would
have expanded in its trade if it had
had the capital; it feels the need to
obtain raw material rather than to
regulate its production.

Germany’s policy is, on the con-
trary, to cut down relations with the

outside economic world to an. abso-
lute minimum. Shipping has already
\. suffered in Germany from the cessa-
tion eof exporting. If Hitlerism _
presses this plan far enough, Ger-
many will be the most completely na-
tionalistic country that the world has
ever known. It is debatable whether
Germany will ever expand to the rich
fields of Poland and Ukraine. The
fact, however, that Germany has not
enough money‘ to fight will undoubt-
edly not stop her, if she finds war
expedient. She could easily ‘sur-
mount this difficulty by currency in- .
flation. fe

After the Hitler regime came in,
the first idea of the Germans was not
to nationalize all industries, but to
oust all employers. But, as in Italy,
Hitlerism is now trying to repair by
means of syndicates all the tfuin
wreaked in the cause of personal
vengeance. There is no constructive
inducement to join the Nazis like
that offered to the workers -by the
Communist party in Russia. —~



A professor, at Worcester Tech

military supremacy, is the keystone

and Charity,”.runs the French mot-
to, “but the greatest of these is Se-

quo.

has been the policy of France repeat-
edly to affirm that security must pre-
cede disarmament and treaty revi-
sion.

France has tried-many methods by
which to gain security. When treat-
ies of guarantee with Great Britain
and the United States against Ger-
many fell through, she sought the
either newly-
formed by the peace treaties, like
Poland or .Czecho-Slovakia, or of
states increased in territory as a re-
sult of the treaties, like Roumania,
and Jugo-Slavia. With them she}
formed “a military alliance to prevent:
alteration of the status quo, offering
them her assistance both with money
and with arms.

The weaknesses of the Status Quo
party are soon apparent. France and
her eastern allies are widely separat-

tente have strong national minorities
favoring union with the revisionist
powers; Roumania and Jugo-Slavia
have serious political and economic
problems to deal with at home, and
are much closer to Germany than to
France in economic matters. In
France itself, too, the Socialist par-
ty is opposed to any alliance with dic-
tatérships, such as Poland or Jugo-
Slavia.

Above all, France is challenged by
Germany for her tendency to use the
League of Nations as an instrument
of her own foreign policy. France
openly desires to expand the League
Covenant so as to create a strong,:
international community, armed to
the teeth, a sort of international po-
lice, which could be thrown against
any aggressor—Germany, obviously,
being the aggressor under considera-
tion.

Germany heads the _ Revisionist
powers. She has sought revision by
various methods: first, by collabora-
tion with the Soviet Union; then, by
reconciliation with the Allies; and,
finally, through her recent withdrawal
from the League until her demands
are satisfied.

After the World War, the Germans
had thoughts of developing an east-
ern power which would overthrow
their western victors. This movement
culminated in the treaty of 1922 with
the Soviet Union. At the same time,

desired western orientation in for-
eign affairs, and from 1923-9 the Ger-
man foreign ministry was dominated
by the “policy of fulfillment,” which
aimed to comply with the terms of
the Versailles Treaty and thus gain
the Allies’ support to achieve some
degree of revision.

The policy of fulfillment culminat-
ed in the five Locarno agreements of
1925. By these, all disputes between
Germany, France, and their neigh-
bors were to be settled peaceably in
the World Court; and Germany, Bel-
gium, France, Great Britain, and
Italy gave mutual guarantees to main-
tain inviolable the frontiers of Bel-
gium, Germany, and France. The
outstanding drawback to these agree-
ments was the qualification that the
mutual ‘giiarantee should not apply
to the Polish frontiers.

The reluctance of the Allies to meet

Germany’s demands for territorial re-
vision fostered the growing prestige
of the National Socialist party - of
Adolf Hitler, which won its first vic-
tory in the elections of September,
1930. It stood then against the en-

slavement of reparations; it denounc-|

ed the treaties of Versailles and
Saint-Germain; and called for an
Austro-German union, and the estab-
lishment of.g German army.
Whatever concessions the Allies

F

€ we

prepared to offer any tangible con-
cessions, especially in the matter of
arms; if no concessions. were offered,
he could at least assert his prestige

from the League and Disarmament
Conference.

Germany’s withdrawal from the
League was not illogical, and it has
‘served admirably to clear* ‘the atmo-
sphere in Europe. Germany can no

rance and Great Britain are faced
with the immediate necessity of pre-
senting .some. practical. program __ to
solve the inherited problems of the
World War.

On October 14, following the with-
drawal of Germany from the League,
Hitler declared that once the Saar
was returned to Germany, there would
be no cause for conflicts France,
however, might be forced to cede some
of.-her former African colonies to

frontiers and very existence of
France’s allies is severely threatened,
and it is a question whether France,
in an emergency, would stand by her
allies and defy the revisionists, or
sacrifice Poland and the Little En-
tente to collaboration with . Italy,
Great Britain, and possibly Germany.

The last thing Italy wants is Ger-
man expansion into Austria. To pre-
vent this happening, she is actually
assisting Dolfuss and the Austrian
Socialists with money and arms. For
Hitler, an Austrian himself, it be-
comes a question of sheer patriotism
that Germany and Austria should be
united. Austria, who would have fav-
ored the alliance just after the war,
has now swung far from it—her So-
cial Democrats have no desire to be
merged in a state where Social Dem-
ocrats are treated as they are in Ger-
many. There will be no voluntary
union of Austria with Germany.
The aggressive plans of German
Fascism have driven France to a rap-
prochement with her old enemy, the
Soviet Union. In June, 1932, Herriot
established a close alliance with the
Soviets; in November, the two pow-
ers signed a mutual non-aggression
pact, and discussed a commercial
treaty. Herriot is willing to go so far
as a military alliance; in this con-
nection he and the French Minister
of Avigtion visited Moscow this sum-|
mer.

France is also urging Poland and
the Little Entente to a Soviet alli-
ance. Poland was willing to sign a
non-aggression treaty in November,
1932, not so much from French pres-
sure, as from fear of ‘beifig sacri-
ficed by France to Germany. On the |
same grounds, the Little Entente un-!
dertook a rapprochement with the}
Soviet government.

There is an important trend in|
Eastern and Southeastern Europe to-
day toward becoming independent ad
the great powers. The old dreams)
of Pan-Slavism, as well as the new
chimeras of French hegemony in Cen-
tral Europe and the Balkans, helong
to the past. The consolidation of the '
three states of the Little Entente—
though ignoring the important power
of Hungary—is a decisive step in
European politics, and it is possible
that further alarm from Hitlerism
may drive together all thé states of
Southern Europe. |

Germany’s withdrawal from _ the
League Nations emphasizes the
urgency of the need for treaty revi-
sion. .In fare of a critical situation,
France meanwhile remains calm, and
having been always convinced that
Germany would sooner or later turn
to military aggression, restrains her-
self from saying too loudly to the
rest of Europe, “I told you so.” Great
Britain is divided between a party

tion is, when and how will revision
come? “Under Article 19 of the
League Covenant, revision might be
made necessary if called for by a ma-
jority vote in the League; although
many/lawyers take this article to
mean. that such a vote to be valid
must needs be unanimous—in which
case, considering the power of
France, the hope for revision through
that vehicle is non-existent.
.The League has not been so suc-.
cessful in settling disputes. as had
been hoped. It has been no stronger
than its component parts, by none
of whom it has ever been freely used.
But although we may be forced to
abandon the cause of international or-
ganization, we must nevertheless on
no. account be led to confess war nat-
ural and resign ourselves to its re-
appearance on the European scene.
The political problems inherited
from the World War may be better
approached not in the publicity of
Geneva, but, as Italy and Great Brit-
ain advocate, in private conferences
between pairs of nations, France and
Germany, Germany and Poland, Ger-
many and Czecho-Slovakia, without
all the other states present to de-
mand their share in the spoils. If we
desire sincerely to avoid another

method, every avenue of approach,

Mrs. Dean Conducts
Deanery Conference



‘ Political Programs of Fascist
States Allow Quick Action
In Emergencies



PEOPLE NOT CONSULTED



At\a conference. of faculty and
undergraduates especially interested
in history, and _ politics,
which met Tuesday afternoon, Octo-
ber 31, under the leadership of Mrs.
Dean, to consider the general topic
of Political Programs of the Fascist
States, discussion \centered chiefly

around three main. points: some dis-
tinctions between the working. prin-
ciples of Communism, Fascism, and
Democracy; the adequacy of Fas-
cist political methods; and the future
of the Fascist state.

The tendency of Communism, is to
keep ‘its ear pretty close to \ the
ground. By.responding quickly \to
public opinion as revealed in com-
plaints: of workmen and peasants, the
Soviet. Government tries to win all
groups’ ofthe. people_to_itself...The
success of this method in Russia is
largely due to the fact that in that
country opposition to the government
is more economic than political. In

Both Communism and Fascism “be-

that a small group-of experts through
actual study is likely to find out more
of the needs of the people than any
representative assembly. They con-
sider that a government which puts
into the hands of a few experts the
regulation of the state is justifiable, in
time of crisis even preferable, to de-
mocracy. In economic emergencies,
there is no doubt that a smal] number
of, men can act more quickly than a
large unwieldy body. '

Fascists point out that democra-
cy’s noble ideal of “the greatest good
of the greatest number” may be re-
duced in the long run to that which
each man wants for himself; and, in
any case, in a large country, the pro-
cess of counting noses to determine
what the majority thinks good for
itself is outdated and absurd.

There are several] notable weak-
nesses in the Fascist gystems. In the
first place, the amount of democra-
cy existing within the party itself is
very small, for it tends to become a
limited aristocratic group, with new
adult admissions to the ranks strictly
supervised both in Italy and in the
Soviet State. Party discipline is
strong; at: present, both Stalin and
Mussolini are at work building up
their succéssors, grooming them for
the position they themselves now
occupy.

Germany, certainly, in spite of the
lack of -audible opposition to the gov-
ernment, anti-Nazi -elements exist.
It is a striking fact, however, that,
except in the case of the Lutheran
Church, yo opponents of Hitler’s’ re-
gime made any sort of a stand:

It is difficult to predict the future
of the Fascist state. After all oppo-
sition has disappeared, it may devel-
op into’a corporate body, a glorified
guild, a country ‘which. emphasizes
matters economic, while the political
machine functions’. unobtrusively in
the background. At present, we may
only observe that Fascism cannot go
much farther without coming to grips
with economic problems, and organ-
izing a definite economic system.

One thing is sure—that the idea of

‘pacifism is in ill-favor both in Ger-

many and in Italy. All Mussolini’s
speeches to his own people emphasize
the Hegelian theory that peace: is
stagnation, and that war is necessary
to bring out the-best in man.

keep a car in college or in the neigh-
The reasons behind this
rule do not hinge on any distrust of
student~driving~ by~the~-administra-
tion, but on the danger provided by
the heavy and poorly regulated traffic
in the vicinity. Lancaster pike is the
main highway running to the west
and the number of accidents which
occur on it are enough to impress its
traffic dangers on even the most op-
timistic mind. As for the country
roads, they are even more dangerous
because they are narrow and. wind-
ing, and-the view at the intersections
is obscured «by shrubbery and
hedges. But the chief reason for the
ruling on cars is that they are a dis-
traction and a temptation to constant
use. The student in Bryn Mawr is
carrying on a_sub-professional job,
which is hard, continuous and de-
manding, and a car would act only
as a futile interruption to more im-
portant business. Furthermore, the
uses to which a car could be put with
profit in the vicinity are few, for
there are excellent trains running into
Philadelphia, and the shops, restau-
rants, and theatres are within easy
walking distance of the station.
If the administration hears of a
student who has her car in college
she will first be instructed to send it
home or put it in cold storage under
the supervision of the authorities, If

she should disregard the ruling a sec-
ond time she would probably be sent
home in her car. Ag to the borrow-
ing and renting of cars—it has never
presented a serious problem because



there is very little of it among the
students... However, the same dan-
gers confront the driver of a borrow-
ed car-as confront the student using
her own car, with the added hazard
of a strange car, which is liable at
any moment to behave in the most
unexpected fashion with disastrous
results. Furthermore, the majority
of students are not equipped with the
driving license required of operatives
by the State of Pennsylvania. “Fhe
responsibility for any accidents which
involve students falls directly upon
the shoulders of the college and it is
a responsibility which it is naturally
most unwilling to have forced upon
it. Consequently, all students are re-
quested not to borrow or rent cars
for use in the vicinity, and non-resi-
dent students are requested to drive
their own cars and not lend them to
friends.

There have been - some exceptions
made in regard to the maintenance of
cars in the case of undergraduates
who need them in their work — for
geology field trips and under similar
circumstances. There are also sev-
eral graduate students to whom per-
mission to keep cars has been grant-
ed, and in the future if a student
feels that she has a justifiable rea-
son for keeping a car she should pre-
sent her case to the president, who
will give her the necessary permis-
sion.

Book Review |

Reprinted from the October 7 num-
ber of The New Statesman and. Na-
tion.

*The titles of forthcoming and re-
cently published books set out in the
columns which follow are an inevit-
ably imperfect selection which will
serve as a rough but useful guide and
a reminder of what is being publish-
ed this Autunin.

Very few" really important - books
should have been omitted from it. But
by important I mean, of course, im-
portant today, not in ten or fifty
years’ time. No man can be sure of
recognising the gritty little poem,
crack-brained economic pamphlet, or
the scientific. paper which contains
the germs of something that will al-
ter the outlook and the habits of the
human race, With that apology I
will proceed not to tip the season’s
-winners, but to give a short list of
the books which I should like to read
and possess, or at least have a rum-
maging look-over myself.

In Anthropology, Sir James Fraz-
er's Lectures-on Fear of the Dead in
‘Primitive Religion, and in Art, Her-
bert Read’s Art Now stand out. The
second letter of the alphabet plunges
us into Biography, which increases
now every season like the wandering
arm of a vast river—swollen one may
guess by a good deal of the flood-
water of fiction. The best biography
is that of a dog: Flush, by Virginia
Woolf. Robert Browning’s Letters,
edited by T. J. Wise, Mr. Winston

Letters of H. H, Asquith to a friend.

also reveal charm of character. Fin-

In Criticism Lytton Strachey’s
Characters and Commentaries con-
tains a selection of his best critical
shorter work and includes some un-
published remains. These articles
show Strachey at his most brilliant,
and, as they cover the whole period
of his writing, give a truer impres-
sion of him as a critic than an ordi-
nary collection. Mr. T. S. Eliot gives
us the material of his Harvard lec-
tures in The Use of Poetry and the
Use of Criticism, and Mr. W.. B.

Other Island, as well as a new play,
The Words Upon the Window Pane.

Here is an amusing anecdote for
the admirers and readers. of Gertrude
Stein, whose Autobiography of Alice
B. Toklas seems to be taking the
country by storm.

In a’ New York book shop there is
on exhibition an actual letter signed
by the real Alice B. Toklas (who al-
ways goes to bullfights in Spain with
Ernest ‘Hemingway). One of the
New York readers of Miss Stein’s
Autobiography wrote to her about
her device, “rosé is a rosé is a rose,”
and received this answer:

Dear Sir, \

Miss Gertrude Stein desires me to
thank you for your letter of Septem-
ber 18th, in which you express your
appreciation of her book. The device
rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
means just that. Miss Stein is un-
fortunately too busy’ herself to be
able to tell you herself, but trusts
that you will eventually come to un-
derstand that each and every word
that she writes means exactly what
she says, for she says very exactly
what she means, and really nothing
more, but, of course, nothing less.

Very sincerely,
ALICE B. TOKLAS, Sec’t’y.

Speaking of Dorothy Parker’s pre-

there are Freud’s New/Introductory’Viously _ published work, Alexander

Lectures to Psychoanalysis. I shall
be interested to see what Mr. Wynd-
ham Lewis is like as a poet, since F
respect him as a critic, an artist and
a writer of short stories. In Science

Woollcott wrote: “Most-of it has
been pure gold and the four winnow-.
ed volumes on her shelf—three poet-
ry, one of prose—are so potent a dis-
tillation of nectar and wormwood,
of ambrosia and deadly nightshade,
as might suggest to the rest of us
that, we all write far too much... .
I think it not unlikely that the best
of it will be conned a hundred years
from .now.”





In her new book of sketches and
(Vie :

stories, After “Such Pleasures
king’ Press), we can be safe in say-
ing Mrs. Parker has written her most
amusing book.. The Parker school of
writing may not be as popular as in
the past, but she will, with this new
book, gain many new pupils and ad-
mirers. .
Ernest Hemingway is getting into
a lot of critical hot' water, and I won-
der if he really cares. Why try to
be so critical about his books, why
get ifito such qa temper about “wheth-
er he will last, does he really enjoy

writing about death and rape,. does ~

he really lead the kind of a life he
writes about, and so on far into the
night?”’

I find nothing in his new volume,
Winner Take Nothing, as poignant
as certain sketches of trout fishing
(in earlier writing a passionate sub-
ject of Hemingway), or as beautiful-
ly organized as the retreat from
Caparetto in A Farewell to Arms,
unless it be the dangerously maca-
bre descriptions of horrid death in
A Natural History of Death or the
hysterical account of fornication in
Father and Sons. Yet no one can
read of the brute who looks through
his water glass at the sunken steam-
er, with bodies floating inside the
portholes, his rudimentary pity only
felt, not realized like the frustration
of his greed, or the deceptively sim-
ple acount of the prize fighter in
The Mother of a Queen, whose ego-
ism is so perfect that no blow can
touch it, without hailing one of the
most skilfull writers of our genera-
tion.
