CURRENT EVENTS

(Gleaned from Mr. Fenwick.) _
“Common . Room, Aprip 12.—The
present controversy in the adminis-
tration is the result of the division
between the “pump-primers” and the
“anti-pump-primers” in the govern-
ment. Congress has not yet voted on
President Roosevelt’s latest bill which
would call for the expenditure of co-
lossal amounts of money. It is un-
likely, however, that the bill will be
defeated as its victory in Congress







' ‘would mean at least a temporary end

of the depression. Unless business
conditions improve before the rext
elections the Republicans will be
almost sure to move into the White
House.

It is risky to attempt to balance
the budget during a depression. We
should first end the depression and
then pay our debts. We are in no
danger of bankruptcy unless we bor-
row from other countries; as long as
our debt.is to ourselves, the payment
will be relatively simple.

Harry Hopkins, an aide to the
President, is opposed to the distribu-
tion of relief as a means of aiding
business. As an alternative he advo-
cates a sufficiently large public works
program so that: every man can get a
job. However the wages for this
emergency work must be less than
those paid in private business, pref-

_ erably about a twenty percent differ-

ence. It is doubtful, however, that
the President or Congress will allow
this in consideration of the strong
opposition from labor.

The defeat of the reorganization
bill was merely a gesture against
President Roosevelt by the House of
Representatives. The bill itself had
formerly been advocated by Presi-
dents Taft, Wilson, and Hoover. Last
summer the House voted for the bill,
but because of limited time the Sen-
ate postponed any action until the
Spring. It was necessary to have a
revote and this time the bill was de-
feated, showing how much prestige the
President has lost as the result of
the Supreme Court controversy.

This at present is the main prob-
lem of France. In the last.ten years
France has had twenty-five govern-
ments; each has lasted less than six
months. The government is divided

‘ and demoralized, and open to attack

at any time from Germany. Premier
Blum was forced out of power when
the Senate refused to ratify a bill
giving him the right to revalue the
franc on the basis of the gold reserve
and to impose a capital levy tax.
The latter calls for five per cent of
each taxpayer’s capital and was con-

, sidered a drastic measure.

‘

Labor groups have been striking
and warsindustries are at a stand-
still. The government, afraid — of
civil war, cannot send troops to end

Bryn Mawr’s Russia
Acclaimed at League’

owe
Continued from Pagé One

represented’ Bryn Mawr at these com-
missions but, unfortunately, Peggy La
Foy, their advisor, was unable to go.
On Saturday the first committee sub-
mitted a report which provided for the
extension of international control over
mandates and looked for future inde-
pendence of some of the mandated
areas. The report of the commission
on Far-Eastern affairs: was an analy-
sis of the economic and political con-
flict between Japan and China, and a
slightly idealistic program whereby
both countries, under the auspices of
the League;’might. come to some set-
tlement. ay

The most controversial of the three
was the committee of which Louise
Morley was chairman and which dealt
with internal conflict. This provided
for the organization of a committee
by. the League Council for appropri-
ate action in the instances of foreign
aggression. In cases of internal
strife, existing legal governments
will be permitted to receive assist-
ance for their defense. The commis-
sion recognized foreign intervention
in Spain and agreed to “take such
action as will restore the rights of
Spain under international law.”

James G. McDonald, as critic to
the session, spoke at the banquet pre-
ceding the dance, and, while not
overly optimistic about the League,
expressed his belief that the world
could discover means of keeping order
and ideal justice.

The Final Plenary Session held
Saturday afternoon was won by Yoko
Matsuoka, of Swarthmore. She spoke
in behalf of Fascist Italy, and in
spite of being met with boos and
hisses her speech was praised as be-



the strikes. The present condition of
France is encouraging to Hitler to
continue his policy of expansion.
The United States has yielded to
the demands of the Mexican govern-
ment much more leniently than has
Great Britain. England, whose policy
has always been to defend her sub-
jects in all parts of the world, sent
a strong note demanding reparations.
There has been feeling that we
have been exploiting the Mexicans;
however, our investments in Mexico
were made at the invitation of the
Mexican government.- Today _ this
government is attempting to develop
socialism and its first step has been
to take control of the oil wells and
large farms. It has been supported



by labor.

ing “in character.” Although the Chi-
nese speaker was also very good, he
is to be chiefly remembered for his
use of a typical Fenwick sentence
and his later remark, “Oh, ‘yes; I
stole that one from,your prof.”

The reports of the commissions
were then given and the awards an-
nounced. Again Philadelphia came to
the front, for Haverford as Finland
gained first prize. After this ‘the
Model League was disbanded and the
International Relations Club returned,
proud of its own showing at the As-
sembly (and at the dance) but espe-
cially pleased with the success of its
head, Louise Morley.

The New York Times, of April 9,
gave the following complimentary
write-up of Louise Morley’s speech:
“. . The greatest applause was re-
served for the address of Miss Louise
Morley of Bryn Mawr, representing
Soviet Russia. Miss Morley advanced
a plea for a firmer League stand
against aggressors and a denuncia-
tion of anti-Communist’ propaganda.

“James G. McDonald, former
League of Nations High Commissioner

for Refugees Coming From Germany,

who conducted he critique of the first
session, asserted that he ‘almost
thought Litvinoff was talking,’ when
he listened to Miss Morleyés_ biting
sarcasm.” :
