Goodhart, January 13.—Better, if

entitled Jt’s a Small. World, by Harry;

were not hidden, and it was possible

‘partly- of: new pieces: and. partly, of
such old favorites as The: Haydn Trio,
The March of Rhyme, the, balancing
‘clowns, Toto and Floto, and the two
lady-. pianists, Miss Knipp. and Miss,
Tuekh, . Perhaps _ the; ., performance
‘stales on repetition or perhaps. a real
ropes and. improvement had’
aken place; but the new scenes cer-
tainly seemed greatly superior to the:
old.

Most. of these were of’ eee
liberal and anti-fascist nature, One|
showed John L. Lewis as an angel en-
gaged in organizing heaven and horri-
fied to find that the heavenly host did
not work in. shifts, Te was also
anxious to unionize hell, but found it
too difficult because, as his trio of
dwarf union members put it, to the
tune of Heigh-ho:

“The process wouldn’t jell,

They’re” much too’ keen on William
Green’s

A. F.-of Ix”

Another scene, the single ‘serious
item on the program, showed a grip-
pled soldier beside a pile of crosses
singing a plea for peace. It was
very effective, but too heavy for ‘such
a fantastic and trivial setting. Equal-
ly anti-fascist, but m6re suitable were
the satires on the Modern Mikado and
the Sister Act, which depicted Hitler
and Mussolini in flowered skirts per-
forming vaudeville waltzes and sing-
ing their admiration for, each other.

The rest of the new numbers were

largely devoted to the arts. Lynne

@
Myra Hess, the brilliant English
pianist, will give a recital “here on
February seventh for the benefit of
the Theatre Workshop. She recently
played.in New York and her perform-
ance. ‘was considered exceptionally
good. Her program was varied, con-
sisting of the Bach D Minor tocata,
the Schubert B flat sonata, and the
Beethoven Pathétique.

With truly unusual artistic —re-
sources, she brought out the full
greatness of each work. The Bach’s
gontrapuntal lines and arabesques
were, to quote the Tribune, “traced
with rare ‘clarity and yet with a free-
dom and spontaneity that belied the
deliberative art that had gone into its
structure,” and the Beethoven was
played “with equal artistic powers.”

But her greatest achievement was
the Schubert sonata where the per-
former must “supply dramatic value
where there is little or none by in-
tensifying the unique substance and





endowing: the fullest ‘meaning: to", each
element; of harmony. and rhythm. "
Myra Hess appeared in Washington
this fall and was equally applauded’
there. Besides this American trip she
has conducted very successfully tours

Fenwick Sees ‘Continental
Defense’ as Advance

Goodhart Hall, January 12.—Pre-
-facing his lecture with the statement
that “the conference was a whirlwind
affair;” ‘Charles: G. Fenwick gave his
impressions of the significance of the
recent meeting at Lima, to. which. he
was a delegate. The Declaration of
Lima,. said Mr. Fenwick, “is. a great,
fundamental charter of American
liberties.”

Although a large part of the press
in this: country has been critical of,
or indifferent to, the achievements of
the conference, Mr. Fenwick believes
this attitude is based on a misreading
of the true purposes: of the meeting.
Taking: as its base the resolutions
passed at Buenos Aires in 1936, the
delegates. proceeded slowly but-sys-
-tematically, and finally reached a far
broader declaration.

Mr. Fenwick stressed the point that
the particular value of the whole lies
in. the fact that it was accomplished
after exhaustive and free discussion.
No smouldering resentments, which

could hinder future negotiations, have

Common Room, January 12.—The

week, was the subject of a meeting

“T saw no sign on the part of the
Peruvian government to censor news
dispatches sent out by our delegation,”
said Mr. Charles G. Fenwick in an
interview to. the News following his
lecture on the Lima Conference. Re-
ports that papers of delegates - had
been, searched are also, he _ believes,
greatly exaggerated. Whether pri-
vate newspaper correspondents had
encountered censorship or not Mr.
Fenwick was unable to say.

Returning to a subject which he
had banned to reporters at his lec-
ture, Mr. Fenwick said, “Throughout
the conference, my thoughts were on
Europe—on how to formulate agree-
ments at Lima which might offer a
basis for European settlements. ” Sev-

phrased in universal terins, such ‘ae

BRITISH PROBLE
IS RECONCILIATION



Goodhart, January 16.—In his lec-
ture on Palestine, Sir Ronald Storrs
reviewed the causes of dissension be-
tween Jews and Arabs in that coun-
try. Because of,,the high official po-
sitions that he has-held in Egypt, Pal-
estine, and Cyprus from the first years
of the war to the early 1930s, his com-

«| prehension of near eastern peoples

obtained by’ long contact with them,
and his speaking .knowledge of both
Hebrew. and’ Arabic, it would have
been-hard to. find a better informed
speaker on the subject than | Sir
Ronald.

From. the beginning he admitted
that his personal view was pro-semitic
in regard to the ‘problem of Palestine.
He outlined the history.of the Zionist
movement from its birth in the brain-
of the Austrian-Jewish journalist,
Herze] to the present-day organization
financed by Jews all over the world.

British codperation, enlisted by war
services of Weizmann, a Manchester
chemist,’ was clinched by the “Bal-
four-;Declaration” in which Great
Britain. promised to. do all in her
power to help the Jéws in Palestine,
provided that their establishment did-
nothing to impair the religious and
civil rights of the non-semitic popula-
tion. Jewish immigration into that lit-
tle country of 10,000 square miles area
has reached enormous proportions.
Finally Sir Ronald referred very ‘fa-
vorably to the hard work. that the
Jews have done toward cultivation of
the land in a productive modern man-
nf and the establishment of modern
xport centers at Jaffa and Tel Aviv.

On the other hand he described the
bitter disillusionment of the Arabs
who had hoped that when rid of the
Turks, the British would develop Pal-
estine for the Arabs as they had de-
veloped Egypt for the Egyptians. So
far as they could see the Jews had

A Modest Proposal

At a time of year whefi seniors are looking forward to the mid-|

year period as a not-too-organized two weeks of preparation for com-
prehensives, it is disturbing to a large group of English majors to find
almost every hour scheduled for specific reading. The two weeks are
divided evenly, the first for reading in the special field, the second

for reading covering the five fields.

Those who are fortunate to have

taken the sophomore survey course, must spend forty hours on a fifth

- field which they could not take; on the other hand, thirteen hour
parcels of reading are assigned to those who did not take the survey
course, but who must fill in gaps to complete their five fields.

: oli

We are urged by the English department not to take these chron-
ical assignments too seriously, but we feel that they are justified

by the system, The English major, unlike any other, is supposed to
know everything about everything within the boundaries of English

literature.

As a result, comprehensives cover five fields, that is, -five

interlocking periods that are equal to a survey of almost all of English

literature.
there is a far greater chronological sweep than in English.

Other majors have three fields, even when, as in history,

“As part ‘ofthis system, we wonder whether we will ever have

more than a superficial knowledge of a vast period, and whether this

is not less valuable than a more specifie lateral knowledge.

The ideal

major work would be concentrated on various phases of a single era,
the political history, philosophy and literature, for instance, of a cer-
tain century. We see no reason for not approaching this ideal by a

If this were done, English majors would

not only be likely to take the survey course, but they would be able
to take more courses like history and philosophy which have a very
important relation to English. The comprehensiveness of English as
an end has been defeated, first, because it prevents real specialization

ol within itself except for honor students, and secondly, because the

English major’s general knowledge is narrowed by the exclusion of
"other equally valuable courses. ~~

with this distasteful subject at all, we wish to premise our belief that

know they can get an 80 or over without cramming. However, they

tried to force extreme

resolutions.
Until the introduction ox the “Good
Neighbor Policy” in 1933,%the United

through

Statés adhered to the Munroe Doc-| -

trine, which devolved into imperialism

| in South America. Resentment against

this policy, particularly in growing
commercial countries like Argentina,
was intense and has not yet disap-
peared. The general recalcitrance of

gentina at the conference is amply
explained, said Mr. Fenwick, by the
fact that the United States has con-
sistantly opposed and. hindered Ar-
gentine exports—wheat and cattle—
to this country. Consequently,” her
in Great
sritain, Germany and Italy, and she

does not wish to alienate these coun*

tries by signing resolutions such as
the ban whicli ve proposed at Lima
on “subversive actiytties ies non-Amer-
ican countries.”

The conference was aie into
numerous committees. The organiza-
tion for Peace, of which Mr. Fenwick.
was a member, wished to strengthen

the Buenos Aires declaration that the
Munroe Doctrine was a continental

‘obligation, common to all the re-}

publics. In.this they were successful,
for a much stronger resolution’ was
passed, without opposition, which
stated that a foreign attack on any
one republic would be regarded as an
attack upon all, and all would confer
as to methods of resistance.

Any possible weaknesses in the
resolutions are, Mr. Fenwick believes,
offset by the strength of the preamble,
which lays down the spirited determi-
nation of the American republics to
cooperate in peace and resist foreign
attacks. It declares that ‘the
peoples of America have achieved

spiritual unity by the similarity of |

their republican institutions ... and
of individual liberties. without racial
or religious préjudices.” Said *Mr.
Fenwick, “This is more than we had
ever hoped for—the Declaration of
Lima will be effective not because of
the words, but because of the spirit
of cooperation behind it.” ~

A second division of the conference
was: that on international law, which
dealt with pecuniary claims, This is
“a tender subject,” since the United
States has made loans all over Latin
America. ~Since,the introduction of
the “Good Neighbor Policy” we have
foregone the use of force in attempts
to collect these debts.

We have insisted on the right of
diplomatic intervention and protest,
and we have always asserted that our
citizens, when abroad, are under an
international law and not merely
subject to local justice. At Lima,
several republics, tried to pass a
resolution stating that aliens under
business contracts were entitled only
to the same treatment as’ nationals.
Fortunately, said Mr. Fenwick, Chile
and other countries objected to this,
and the resolution was veneered back
to committee,

The positive achievements under the
“Good Neighbor Policy” are directly
referable, -Mr.-- Fenwick believes,—to
the leadership of Secretary Hull,
whose integrity is trusted by all. The
presence of Alfred Landon was also
of great significance. He was able
to allay suspicions spread by Ger-
many that all of Mr, Hull’s policies
would be discredited if the Republi-
cans were elected in 1940. Mr. Fen-
wick also remarked that the simple
presence of a defeated candidate “at
large” made a_ great impression
on many South Americans—particu-
larly when this loser openly expressed
his desire to see the present govern-
ment defeated in | 1940,

CURRENT EVENTS

(Gleaned from Mr. Fenwick )







_ Common Room, January 17.—In his
address at the convening of Congress,
the President asked for rearmament
funds. The opposition labels the re-

quest as an attempt at “‘pu prim-
ing” which, they say, has so far failed
to produce water. (In other words,
they think the President is trying to
put more money in circulation .with-
out the public’s complaining of the
government’s extravagance. )

ractically, Mr. Fenwick says, w@

uld have an increase in armaments,
particularly in the air force. Britain
lost last’ September’s “battle of Mu-
nich” because she kept supremacy of
the seas, while Germany developed her
air force, now under production at
the rate of 1000 per month. South
Americans at the Lima Conference
asked why the United States expected}
to be attacked. They were told that
we were looking for a military _alli-
ance. That was not the’case. But
it is nevertheless important that we
be able to fight:a-war in both oceans
at once.

Congress does not “rubber” stamp”
the President’s demands as formerly.
It remains to be seen in the next six
months whether the enforced curtail-
ment of the Federal spending program
can bring us: prosperity.

Professor Felix Frankfurter’s ap-
pointment to the Supreme Court is not
likely to meet-opposition from the Sen-
ate. There is, however, the problem
of the appointment of a Justice for
political reasons rather than his pro-
motion from the lower courts.

States’ rights are being demanded
by Vermont, where the Federal Gov-
ernment was going to build a dam for
flood control. The State does not want
to see the amount of taxable property.
reduced without its sanction. The
President has given in, but the State
may also.

in Italy. The Italians have hinted
for Corsica, Tunis, control of the Suez
Canal and the port of Jibuti, all of
which belong.to France. Deladier has

‘recently visited these colonies, with

enthusiastic reception. The British
are possessed with a strong sense of

fland ownership, otherwise they might

solve the problem, Mr. Fenwick be-
lieves, by giving Italy British Somali-
land. ' This woyld divide her military
strength, and’ ‘make her friendly to
Great Britain.

In Spain, the fall of Terragona hens
alds the seige of Barcelona, by Franco,
which would soon be successful if the
British recognized him as a belliger-
ent, so that he could blockade the
port.

Although France has promised not
to permit Italy to hold Spain under
her domination, she still fears she may
soon be subject to attacks from the
South as well as the East. There-
fore she may open the frontier to
the Loyalists so that they may con-
tinue to hold off Franco.

To clarify their achievements,. this

committee voted (1) that.an embargo

should be continued on the normal
quota basis, (3) that the Philippines
should be relinquished gradually ac-
cording to the present plan. The
sense of the meeting was that we
should act to stop war, but by hu-
mane rather than drastic means.
Laura Estabrook, ’39, president of
the I. R. C. at Bryn Mawr, served on
the committee considering the German
Refugee Problem. The general feel-
ing was that as many outlets from
Germany as possible should be. util-

ized, but that no country should admit.

too many refugees at once for fear of
spreading antisemitism still further.
They recommended’ that the United
States accept the usual quota, espe-
cially of students and children, as the
class with the “largest future.”

Joy Rosenheim, ’40, on the commit-
tee on Europe and International. Se-

curity, found that emotion outweighed’

information considerably and that an
astonishing majority were pronounced
reactionaries. These condoled with
“the poor Sudetens” so long sepa-
rated from their Fatherland, and With
the “poor Kulaks of the Ukraine” be-
cause they had been starved several
years ago. The chief business of this
meeting was in hearing reports from
the various delegations as to member-
ship and activity of the clubs at dif-
ferent universities and colleges. Par-
ticipation by the members is greater,
she reports, at other I. R. Clubs than
at Bryn Mawr.

HUNDREDS OF SKIERS have
made their début to this winter
sport under Hans Thorner’s expert -
guidance. One skiing principle he
stresses is: “Don’t let your nerves
get tense, keyed-up.” His advice to
pupils: “Pause regularly—let up—
light up a Camel.”
























WHEN BUSY, STRENUOUS days put your nerves
on the spot, take a tip from the wire fox terrier
pictured here..Despite his complex nerve system, .
he quickly halts after activity, to relax—to ease his
' nerves. Often, we humans ignore this instinctive
urge to break nerve tension. We may even drive
on.relentlessly, forgetting that tiring nerves may
soon be jittery nerves! Yet the welfare of your.
nerves is really vital to your success, to your happi- ~ Smo
ness. Make it your pleasant rule to pause regularly

this’ rarikled. Because of his superior
education and wealth the Jew was ata
great advantage over the . average
Arab farmer who understood very lit-
tle beyond his own land, and was lost
without it.“ The Arab ‘could be _per-
suaded ‘to ‘sell his farm if the price
were high enough, but was uncon-
solably bitter when this sudden pos-
session of wealth caused his downfall,
as it almost invariably did. Finally
the increasing Jewish immigration had
a fatal effect on Arab fears, and they
descended to terrorism. This Sir Ron-

The British’ government, said Sir
Ronald, has been obliged to treat the
situation as a war, and put certain
areas under military control. Efforts
to conciliate both sides have been un-
successful’ so far; notably the -pro-
posed partition of the country which
was the ‘result. of. the Peale Royal
Commission of two years ago. Now
a last attempt is being made by the
calling of a conference of Arabs and
Jews in Londdn. In the event that
the members refuse to convene, or a
deadlock is reached, peace will be im-
posed--by force.

Sir Ronald closéd with a summary
of the aims of the British for Pales-
tine. First the suppression of ter-
rorism. Second, the importance of
the support of the Jewish eause by



{the other nations of the world, not

the abandonment of it as the causes
of other minorities have been aban-
doned. Thirdly, that Jéwish immigra-
tion into Palestine must be maintained
as much ‘as - possible. Finally .the
Arabs must be spared, and reassured
in their fear of becoming the under-
dog. If the last is not accomplished,
Sir Ronald pointed out that. as’ia
people with a grievance. against the
British they formed. an_ excellent
channel through which hostile powers
could harm the British Empire:
