There are many such
instances of the magic use of ancient
weapons. Prehistoric stone axes and
knives are still used for exorcism and
religious ceremonies in Japan and
among the Pueblo Indians in Arizona.

The chief difference between the In-
do-Germanic exorcists and those of
other cultures lay in their position.
In the Eastern civilizations, this office
was always entrusted to priests or
hermits. Among the Germanic tribes,
however, where the warrior was the
center of the life of the community,
the exorcists not only possessed su-
pernatural power, but were men of
great physical strength and daring as
well. The descriptions of their “fren-
zies” suggests that possibly they were
epileptics.

mitted to entér enemy zones.

Professor Blanshard believes that
Collective Security, joint action to pre-
serve peace through peaceful sanctions
or military coercion, is the best road.
Arguments against this policy and the
League which is its organ of action
seem weak to him. . Even inthe past,
when joint action seemed possible,
the League never had proper police
power to back its decisions. Today
the League is ineffectual, but it must
be built up. “Unless we are willing
to get behind some international sys-
tem, we will surrender the world to
the Fascists.”

After Professor Blanshard’s key-
note. address, the delegates adjourned
to their. various commission meetings
to discuss the individual problems.
Following lunch,: another joint meet-
ing was held in which William T.

Stone spoke to the students on The
American. Student and the United
States Foreign Policy.

Mr. Stone began by repeating a

.-| statement he made in 1933 to the effect

that if changes in the status quo can-
not be brought about by international
agreement; states. will resort to force.
“The greatest. question today is
whether we can insure America
against war,’ he said. Isolation and
collective security are the two means
offered. But the choice is not as sim-
ple as it seems, for many factors mold

.our foreign policy.

First among these factors is the in-
ternal pressure brought to bear. We
canhot divorce domestic and: foreign
issues. Furthermore, it is important
to take stock of international relations
today. They are, based on power-poli-
tics. We must keep that fact in mind
when agreeing with other nations to
follow through decisfons which néces-
sitate the use of moral persuasion or
force. ‘Public opinion is another fac-
tor which determines the means used



to attain peace. In concluding, Mr.
Stone said that students must attempt
to retain some %Semblance of sanity
when deciding these problems, for “if
they lose that, they have lost the
fight.”

Following Mr. Stone’s speech, dele-
gates again retired to their commis-
sions, this time to formulate resolu-
tions to be presented in the plenary
sessions. At that time, the commis-
sion chairmen reported on, the work of
their groups. After a play, present-
ed by the Players of the Little Thea-
tre Club of West Chester State Teach-
ers’ Collége, the conference convened
again to pass on the resolutions.

A blanket resolution condemning
the Nazi government for its acts of
the past week and endorsing collective
security was first passed. It was fol-
lowed by resolutions opposing the May
Bill, endorsing the Peace Strike on
April 27 and extending it to include
erganized labor, advocating lower tar-
iffs and reciprocal trade _ treaties.
This strike also calls for demonstra-

tions on all campuses protesting
against German aggression, denounc-
ing compulsory R. O. T. C., opposing
the Vinson Bill for naval appropria-
‘tions, and opposing the Teachers’
Oath.

After dinner at Parrish Hall the
delegates were again addressed by
Professor Blanshard and Mr. Stone.
Professor Blanshard summarized the.
work of the delegates. Disagreement
really begins, he said, at the point
where we must decide what action to
take in international affairs. “But
what seems uppermost in your minds
“are the evils of injustice more than
war,” he said. “This indicates the
beginning of a genuine international
mind, and the development of. inter-
mrcares sympathy and imagination.”

Mr. Stone agreed with Professor
Blanshard, adding that the students
of today seem able to discriminate and
that they know their lines better than
in the past. But sometimes they know
them too well, and there is not enough
thought behind them.
