Informal Use of Goodhart -
Room Are Topics



ON COLLEGE BUDGET

President’s House, Wednesday, No-
vember 10.—The student Curriculum
Committee’s report on a Spring read-
ing period before Comprehensives, a

plan for working out the quota in the
new dormitory and a new Self-Gov-
ernment permission to allow students
to use Goodhart rooms for informal
entertaining until 11 o’clock were the
main topics discussed at the second
meeting of the College Council. Sim-
plifying the arrangement of the bul-
letin.- boards in Taylor-and the possi-
bility of starting a lending library
for records..were also considered; and
Miss Park gave her report on the
college budget.

The Curriculum Committee report,



which has still to go before the fac-|..

ulty, asks for one: day more than the
regular week-end before the Compre-
hensive examinations start, the work
missed because of this to be mdde up
by inserting an extra day of classes
somewhere in the second semester.
The committee suggests one instead
of two days because the benefit gained
from only two days of review does
not justify the trouble it would cause
in rearranging the college schedule.
The time, either one or two days, is
too. short for a real review period
and the extra day is asked for chiefly
as a resting period. The solution is
not a completely satisfactory one and
in the future the entire college year
may be lengthened by a week to allow
for a real review period at the end.
This year, no new work is to be as-
signed in the comprehensive reading
unit after Easter; which will leave
time for review from that time to the
end of the year. To adapt the extra
day to the non-seniors, the report
recommends placing a first year course

Libby ‘Emphasizes Need

Speaker Says Our Protection Lies

Goodhart Hall, November 11.—
Frederic Libby, Secretary of the So-

emphasized in a,Special Armistice Day
Chapel the need of a policy of, “peace-
ful change” among nations. today. We

Weeping Women and Smoky Battles Crowd
Goodhart in English Department Movie



Birth of a Nation is Found
Emotionally and Actually
- Amazingly Rapid



Goodhart, November, 11.—The Birth
of a Nation, the first of a series of
movies to be used by the freshman

English Department, was chosen for
purely -technicdl reasons, not because
of any particular agreement with the
ideas expressed by the film. Imme-
diately after an announcement to that
effect Goodhart was plunged into a
melée of weeping women, smoky bat-
tle scenes, and obscure captions. Emo-
tional encounter followed emotional
encounter with amazing rapidity, care-
fully explained and annotated by D.
W. Griffith’s literal insertions which
follow a Northern boy and a South-
ern girl “by way: of love valley,”
herald a cloud of dust with “The
Confederates to the rescue” and usher
another southern lass through the
“opal gates of death.”

The period from the beginning of
the Civil War to the final overthrow
of the carpet-baggers and negro gov-

ered by flashy -gtimpses of i... ada};
reactions ‘interspersed with lengthy
and smoky panoramas of armed forces,
now fighting with utmost valor, now
cheering’ the succor of a comrade
by a/ noble foe. Meanwhile, ethereal
flags appear only to disappear from
thetline of battle, and a lonely smoke-
ring floats lazily across the sky.

baggers not yet influential, we witness
the growth of a great love from a
winsome glance to an hysterial clutch-
ing of a .bed-post which_ ig. captioned
“Love’s rhapsodies and love’s tears.”
Lillian Gish leaps ecstatically abott
the room, “and, in a final frenzy,
kisses *the mahogany bed-post, and
that scene is blissfully ended.

Mae Marsh, who is the little and
favorite sister of the southern hero,
goes through a harrowing experience
with Gus, a mulatto maniac, who
leads her a most “jerky and rapid
chase through woods and clearings,
over tree-stumps and rocks, until she
is forced to jump from a high preci-
pice to escape from him. -Brother ar-
rives on the scene just in time to see
the girl open her mouth to say, silently
and dramatically, “Gus,” He returns
home full of vengeance and we next
find him trying to conceal a large
white hooded garment which tells us
that the Ku Klux Klan is on its way.

Thereafter follows a series of
shots, predecessors of the Westerns,
which flash regularly from rescuer to
criminals to victims and back again
to the rescuer.. We see the Ku Klux-
beve*banding together, we see dark fig-
ures surrounding an isolated cabin on
the plains of nowhere, and then we
enter the two-room cabin jammed with
agonized, but definitely courageous,
faces. With a scream of applause
we are brought-to—a~final caption,
the ‘establishment of “Liberty and
Union, one and raevsisnhcaiit now and
forever.”

College. Life Figures

In Hamlet Production



J. Thom, ’38, and A. Goodman,
’38, Synthesize Lines and
Ideas of All Shakespeare

——_—

S. MEIGS TRAGIC HERO

Goodhart Hall, November 12.—
The Players’ Club production of
Hamlet immortalizes Shakespeare: it
proves that he has not, and cannot
be outmoded. Though times and cus-
toms may change, the inner truth of
the great drama still rings true. But
it is fitting, and even necessary, that
this timeless theme should be inter-
preted in-modern terms, in terms that
will apply to the complexities of mod-
ern life. Such an interpretation is
the monumental achievement of Miss
Janet Thom and Miss Anne Goodman,
and of the actors, who played their
parts most feelingly.

The production is not merely of
Hamlet the play, but is rather a syn-
thesis, delving beneath the Hamlet
plot, of the most_impelling lines and
ideas of all Shakespeare’s plays. The
application of All-Shakespeare to col-
lege life, with its Seething intellectual-
ism, its varying channels of Staple-
tonian analysis and Veltmanic whirl-
winds of passion, makes this experi-
mental Hamlet extremely significant.

We also ‘see clearly through this
production that the so-called radical
trend of modern literary style is not
really so radical. Shakespeare is the
father of Virginia Woolf and James
Joyce. The dialogue ofthis Ham-
let is unmistakably written with the
“train-of-thought” method; we are
impelled _ with startling __ rapidity
through the machinations of Ham-
let’s mind, and through the interplay
of, complex forces and attitudes of
all the characters. To illustrate:

HAMLET (as he falls upon his

Sword) :/ “Being or non-Being, or
possibly becoming. . Are there any
questions? For is there a sense in
which it is nobler in the mind to
suffer the slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune? . . . tomorrow
and: tomorrow and tomorrow, but
never jam today.”

Miss Sarah Meigs, a pupil.of John
Gielgud, plays Prince Hamlet, and
surpasses her teacher in the role.
She becomes. a modern impersonation
of this immortal tragic hero, and we
live with her~the tortures of sus-
picion, of mental turmoil and dis-
illusion, of failure to hear the latest
news from Wall Street.

The identification .of characters in
the play with members of the Bryn
Mawr factlty makes the interpreta-
tion especially cogent, We perceive
new phildsophic depths in the char-
acter of Hamlet in this interpretatioi
of the “to be or not to be” speech.

Similarly Rosencrantz and Guilden-
crantz assume a totally unsuspected
significance when they are respec-
tively identified with Mr. Arthur’ GC.
Sprague, Professor of English, and
Miss K. Lawrence Stapleton, Instruct-
or in English. The erudite investi-
gations of Mr. Sprague reveal the

Modern Technique is Cotshinad
With Negro Rhythms



Goodhart Hall, November 9.—Com-
bining a markedly modern technique
with the simplicity of negro rhythm,
the Hampton ‘Institute Creative Dance
Group aroused a large audience to
enthusiasm. the Group, after four
years of work, has done itself. both
good and harm. The ‘techniques of
the modern school have been ably
learned; the interpretation’ of old
themes by these new methods make
an admirable combination. But the
spontaneity and exuberance normally
found in the. negro dance have suf-
fered. Expression is restrained, and
the effect of the dances weakened ac-
cordingly.

The most obvious example of this
“de-energizing’” was found in the
Characteristic Dance Rhythms. Here,
in Juba and the Cake Walk some
“high-hoofing” was expected. In
neither did it appear. Juba, although
therfour boys tapped expertly, had
less rhythm in it than when done_ by
the Hampton Quartet. The Cake
Walk was only a pale imitation of the
high-stepping dance of minstrel fame.
It was not until the dance spiritual,
Get On Board, that rhythm ruled, and
mobile, musical freedom was achieved.

The latter part of the program con-
sisted mainly of African Dances. To
fully appreciate and understand them,
a knowledge of their purpose and
background is necessary. Hampton
Institute has made an “exhausting
study of African songs, dances, and
tribal customs. As native dances,

‘they are authentic presentations.

The native dances attempted a
child-like simplicity. A Pagan’s
Prayer and .Ogugu illustrate this
point. Both are elemental in their in-
terpretation and execution. Fangai
Man, danced by the African hoy, was
a marvel of native, inherent rhythm.
It was a dance that in its primitive
way was equal to the highly developed
interpretation of India by Shan-Kar.

In the last er on the program,
the boys Jost some of their restraint,
and a pftimitive version of the Big

Apple: was presented to the delighted
audience. ‘

The Hampton. Group embodies the
germ of an excellent dancing unit.
Their able director, Charlotte Moton
Kennedy, has danced at Bennington
under the foremost dancers in Amer-
ica today.

Panofsky. Discusses Philosophy
And Principles of Composition
Of Michelangelo



PRESENT MAUSOLEUM
~ REDUCTION OF FIRST

Goodhart, November 15.—Michel-
angelo was the only one of the many
artists influenced by Neo-Platonism
who was a genuine Platonic, said Pro-
fessor Panofsky in the sixth Flexner
lecture. His unfathomable dissatis-
faction with himself and the universe
was the secret of his genius; he adopt-
ed Neo-Platonism in an attempt at
self-justification. In his tomb of Pope
Julius II, as it was originally intended
and as it was finally executed, we
can trace the influence of the Neo-
Platonic doctrines, and their ultimate
failure to gain a permanent place in
art, -

A comparison of Michelangelo’s
works to those of his prototypes .and
followers makes us aware of his
unique principles of composition. By
closing hollows and eliminating pro-
jections, he condenses his groups and
isolates his masses from their sur-
roundings. In addition, he uses a new
sharp accentuation of the basic direc-
tions of space; oblique lines are re-
placed by horizontal or vertical ones,
while volumes are either parallel or
at right angles to each other. More-
over, the rigidity of this rectangular
system operates not, as a static, but
as a dynamic principle. Those obliques
which are retained gain emphasis by
contrast.



Michelangelo’s figures strike us as
inevitably collapsing.-under inexorable
forces. They strain against these
forces, and weary themselves in their
efforts, yet their movements seem to
be. stifled from the start... However,
consummate rest is as absent as con-
summate action; instead of peaceful
tranquility, we have violent exhaus-
tion. The figures are not conceived

with respect to an organic axis, but

to a rectangular block, from which
they emerge slowly, with the artist
striving: constantly to orient them to
the frontal plane. He conceived his
forces as eternally repulsing and re-
enforcing each other.

Although Michelangelo was only
one of many to uphold Neo-Platonism,
he was the only artist to take over
its teachings .and_ theories entirely.
His stubborn preference for hard
stone and his preoccupation with the
recalcitrant block form, from which
he could visualize his figures as grad-
lally emerging, are bound up with
the Neo-Platonic idea of matter. The
belief of this philosophy in the “un-
broken splendor of .the light divine”
is reflected in the beauty of his fig-
ures and its conception of the earthly
body: as the prison of the immortal
soul, which is longing for escape
through death, is -visualized in ‘the 4
struggles and isolation of the figures.

BOOK REVIEW

The Arts—Hendrik Van Loon;*Simon
and Schuster—$J.95.

Everything about Hendrik Van
Loon’s new history of The Arts is big.
It took 30 years to write. In the orig-
inal form, it ran well over 1500 pages.
It covers not only music, sculpture,
painting, and architecture, but also
pottery, etching, textiles, dancing, and
stage-design from the days of the
cavemen to the days of the cubists,
together with the cultural, social, po-
litical, and -religious events that pro-
duced them.

Given such a huge design, gener-
“alization cannot be avoided. Dr. Van
Loon’s studies of the various ‘separ,
arts inevitably resemble his illustra-







tions: a dab or so of color, the essen-

tial lines roughly - blocked in, and a
few sentences of pungent comment
below. No one subject can be treated
exhaustively, or even adequately.

There is. no attempt to do so. His
aim is rather to give the general
reader some knowledge of the univer-
sality of art, and—since he is a Dutch-|
man—“its relationship *to ordinary
life.” ;

: It is this last theme that gives the

| and Chaucer notes for last-year.

history by constantly translating the
past into the equivalent terms of the
present. “Beethoven and Mozart,” he
says, “squandered their genius on the
kind- of story ich would have been
refused by one of our True Romance
magazines as being entirely too mushy
for the taste of their readers,” or
again, “Chopin’s piano was to him
what his pony is to the cowboy.” |
It. is, of course, very easy to over-
do this sort of thing, and there are
times when even Dr. Van Loon slaps
the Muses’ backs a little too heartily.
There was no need, for instance, to
say that the Middle Ages “liked their
art as they liked their dood—every-
thing from meat to pudding mixed
with spices, and served with a liberal

dte| addition of mustard, pepper, or cin-

namon,”

The real weakness of this style,
however, lies in the same local allu-
sion that makes it so delightful. A
hundred—or even fifty years—from
now, and nobody will understand why
Doctor Van Loon asked a Mr. Moses
to put up Moorish fountains in New
York, or why he should announce that
Mendelssohn would be called “Herr
X” in the German edition of the Arts.
The style is too specialized to last.
Meanwhile, however, it can be enjoyed,
not only by general readers who) want
a sound and comprehensive view of
the arts, but by students who can
enjoy a lively and fascinating rein-
terpretation of them.

Morley, 40.)

One of the most important factors
in peace organizations today is the
great variation of opinions as to how
to achieve a common goal. At the
Armistice Day Chapel, last Thursday,
we were privileged to hear the chief
spokesman for thé National Council
for the Prevention of War, Frederick
J. Libby. The common platform of
all peace groups adopted by the Na.
tional Peace Conference, of which Mr.
Libby’s group is a member, is a cam:
paign for World Economic Coopera-
tion and the establishment of ma.
chinery to make effective the. pro-
cesses of peaceful change. The pro:
grams of the different groups which
comprise the National Peace Confer-
ence toward attainment of these goals
are not essentially ‘similar. The pro-
gram of Mr. Libby’s group, for exam-
ple, calls forthe immediate invoca-
tion of the neutrality law in the Jap.
anese-Chinese conflict, and then the
cooperation of the United States in
international efforts toward solution
of the conflict. The League of Na-
tions Association and the Catholic
Association for. International Peace,
of. which Mr. Fenwick is president,
are others of the numerous organiza-
tions in the National Peace Confer-
ence. These groups are of the opinion
that “neither isolation nor neutrality
can safeguard -the security of the
country and keep it from war.” The
program of Mr. Fenwicks’ group
states:

“It is our conviction that the
present neutrality act should be
amended so as to provide for some
difference of treatment between the
criminal and.the victim whenever
a distinction between the two can
be clearly determined.”

But, it is their opinion that con-
demning the aggression of Japan and
seeking to stop it by economic press-
ure is not sufficient. As the Na-
tional Council for the Prevention ot
War, it feels that it is necessary to
follow up such measures by an inter-
national policy of economic coopera-
tion which will assure to Japan as
well as to other states the supplies of
raw materials yn, which their’ eco-
nomic life is dependent.

With the complicated entangléments
of modern diplomacy, and wars rav-
aging both China and Spain, while
statesmen ponder how best to solve
these problems, it is difficult to take
a determined stand as to what is the
absolutely infallible way out. It is
essential to realize, however, the ex-
istence of many schools of thought
on the subject, and to analyze their
relative valuer on the basis of knowl-
edge available. In this way there
may be attained a reasonably Tre-
sponsive public opinion that will give
effective support to one particular so-
lution or perhaps to effective common

action peace groups through com-
promise.

Dear Editor:

We suggest that the Player’s Club
Hamlet be mimeographed, that the
script may thus be .made available
to the general public. We believe
that copies of the script, sold at a
reasonablé price, would add a goodly
profit to the impoverished Player’s

“HUNDREDS OF MEN are lonely
at Princeton. «Are you lonely too?
Find your post-box lover by writing
THE LONELY HEARTS CLUB, 121
Little Hall, Princeton, N. J. No fee,
everything confidential’—The Daily
Princetonian reports the success of
the above advertisement when it was
inserted in the Vassar Miscellany
News

We assume that the purpose of
A. Gilroy, ’40, and R. M. Brandin,
of Princeton, who. inaugurated the
local LONELY HEARTS CLUB, was
to provide themselves with lovely
feminine correspondents, but the .Vol-
ume of the “immediate results” fo
their advertisement caused them to
call upon their friends to’ leap into
the breach as “post-box” lovers. They
fear that if the demand for what they
call postal Romeos continues they
will ‘have to throw open the ranks of
the L. H. C. to all Princeton under-
graduates. Nevertheless they intend
to be generous with their fellow
Princetonians; far from begrudging
them access to feminine postal so-
society, they intend to advertise in

papers for more recruits to supple-
ment the Vassar enthusiasts.

The Bryn Mawr College News
wishes to express itself as full of sym-
pathy for the Princeton’ undergradu-
ates who seek long-range companion-
ship with the Opposite Sex. Never-

| theless, we are very glad the L. H. C.

does not seek to advertise in our col-
umns, Conditions at Princeton are
no doubt rather desperate, and while
we don’t approve of coeducation, we
do agree that it would be a healthy
thing for those boys to know some
girls. Personally, however, we are
too busy with our studies, the Bryn
Mawr League, and the Sino-Japanese
situation to join Vassar, Wellesley,
Smith, and Sarah Lawrence in their
volunteer work.

Bill of Divorcement
Rehearsals Proceed



Cast Travels Back and Forth
From Princeton Polishing
- Performance



MRS. McANENY -DIRECTS



- According to the latest reports,. Bill
of Divorcement, to be given by the
Players’ Club in collaboration with
the Princeton Intime, is going smooth-
ly enough to make success predict-
able. The cast has been traveling
back and forth between Princeton and
Bryn Mawr, and in spite of the ne-
cessity of occasional rehearsals with-
out the/ other sex, Mrs. Herbert Mc-
Aneny is welding the play into a har-
monious whole. —

The Players’ Club can be. devoutly
thankful for the presence of Mrs. Mc-
Aneny as its director; In the past,
she has been play-reader for Guthrie
McClintic, and technical director for
Gilbert Miller, and for Berkeley
Square when Mare Connolly directed
it. She is now Miss Latham’s assist-
ant in the Play-Writing course, and
at the same time is giving a good
part of her time to the interests of
Bill of Divorcement.

The play itself was written by
Clemence Dane and deals with two
themes that cannot be relegated to
any period, insanity and divorce. It
concerns a family: the father, Hil-
ary, who has been in the insane
asylum for 15 years, supposedly be-
cause of shell-shock, the mother Mar-
garet, the daughter Sydney, and Hil-
ary’s spinster sister, Aunt Hester.
In England there is a law that per-
mits divorcee under such circumstances,
and Margaret has almost decided to
marry Gray Meredith when Aunt Hes-
ter lets slip that there is insanity
in the family. Sydney is in love with
Kit Pumphrey,. but with almost super-
human heroism, she sends. him away,
persuades her mother to marry Gray,
and stays with her father, who has

It is not hard to see that all the
parts in the play are difficult. and
that the Players” Club has undertaken
something smore ambitious, perhaps,

Bryn Mawr has been to Princeton

Present Mausoleum _
Reduction of First



Continued from Page One

tonism in search .of symbols of» his
experience in ‘life is especially evi-
dent in his tomb of Julius IT.

In -the time of the ancient
Egyptians, funerary niénuments were
intended merely to furnish a comfort-
able and luxurious dwelling for the
soul after death, to replace the de-
cayed earthly’ body. _The immobility
of the forms shows that they were
meant for this purpose. But the
Greeks, concerned as they were with
the life on earth rather than that be-
yond, reversed the process and -con-
structed memoria, in which all of the
dead man’s deeds of earthly prowess
was reenacted. In the late mediaeval
times, funerary art was again focussed

on the future, and symbols antici-.

pating salvation became popular. The
idea of ascension had often been al-
luded to in pagan scenes, so Christian
artists adopted pagan devices, chang-
ing them only slightly to .agree with
Christian theology. Instead of using
winged victories to carry away the
soul. of the dead men (pictured in
both cases as a little human figure)
the mediaeval artists substituted
angels.

The French Gothic mausoleums, of
a somewhat later period, were intend-
ed to give visible form to the whole
theology of salvation as then con-
ceived. These sarcophagi were sur-
rounded by plewreuses, surmounted by
the Virgin; at the top the tiny human
soul is being raised by angels. The
only fundamental change in these con-
victions, indicative of a humanistic
attitude, was the reintroduction of
scenes from the man’s-life.. Instances
of classic borrowings were rare. In

the later periods, secular tombs be-|









came. more. vainglorious,. but never
ostentatious; reticence ‘was. still the
outstanding characteristic of funerary
monuments,

Michelangelo’s tomb ‘of Julius II
can be studied with respect to this
development. The first design, drafted
about 1505, was for a fyee-standing
mausoleum, about seven’ by four me-
ters in. size. It was to have been
built on three levels, the lowest dec-
orated with a continuous Series of fig-
ures of: victories and slaves. The in-
termediate level was to contain repre-
sentation of Moses, St. Paul, Vita
activa, and Vita Contemplativa, and
the top was to represent the soul of
the Pope being transported to heaven
by angels.

In 15138, after the ‘death of the
Pope, it was decided to transform the
monument into a cross between a
mausoleum. and a wall tomb, built
against a solid wall. The lower zone
was left almost unaltered, except
for dimensional changes. The middle
zone was to contain an effigy of the
Pope, supported by four angels and
surmounted*by a high apse sheltering
five statues—four saints and a ma-
donna.

About 1516, the monument began to
undergo a distressing reduction, and
approached the order of a mere wall
tomb of three meters. The lower
story, which had already beén begun,
was kept, while the upper parts were
given up. In 1532, the present form
was agreed on: The Pope reclines
on his sarcophagus, with a sibyl, a
prophet, a madonna, and two slaves
(which already Jad been executed)
grouped around him. Ten years later,
the slaves were replaced by figures
of Rachel and Leah, representing the
active and contemplative life. This
form of the memorial was actually
constructed between 1542 and 1545.
Somewhat later, Michelangelo decided
to discard the architecture altogether,
in favor of four mighty slaves and a
victory group. This effort, thought
noble, was bound to fail. Four un-
finished slave figures are the only wit-
nesses of this phase of the “insane
and heroic tragedy of the tomb.”



The first project, of the mausoleum
is a triumph in the spiritual sense.
Heaven and earth are not perfectly
distinguished; there is a gradual and
almost natural..rise not a resurrec-
tion, but an ascension im terms of: the
Neo-Platonie philosophy. On the low- —
est level are the representatives of
earthly life, in which good and evil
complement and struggle against each
other. The slaves personify the soul
enchained by..the human body; their
various attitudes demonstrate the
blind efforts of the soul to escape its
prison. The victories show that rea-
son is capable of conquering the base
parts of man’s nature. On the second
zone are the intermediaries between
heaven and earth: Figures of the
active and contemplative life, together
with Moses and St. Paul, who were
always grouped together by Floren-
tine Neo-Platonists as those who.-had
attained a perfect synthesis between
the existences. These four statues
symbolize the Pope’s sureties of im-
morality. On the highest platform
are the two angels conveying him
into the celestial world—the one smil-
ing with joy to receive him, the other
weeping with sorrow for those whom
he has left behind.

Michelangelo had achieves a conso-
nance between the Old Testament and
Plato, between a glorification of the
life on earth and of the life here-
after. However, this perfect balance
between pagan and Christian elements
has become unorthodox before the me-
morial was executed; in the second
version, the Madonna was added. to
give predominance to Christianity. In
the final tomb, “by renouncing the
slaves and victories and discarding the
whole terrestrial zone, Michelangelo
yielded to the wishes of the contract-
ers.

The tomb of Julius II as we have it,
thus symbolizes frustration—the’ fail-
ure of the Neo-Platonic doctrine to
fix itself in grt. And what was orig-
inally intended to be a monument to
a harmony between Neo-Platonism
and Christianity ultimately became a
monument-to--the—-Counter-Reforma-
tion.

seventh of its territory. It is clear!
from these figures that we have in
the past been economic aggressors,
and it is with hypocrisy that we up-
raid Italy, Germany and Japan. In
building up moral sentiment against
these countries we are dealing with
the symptoms and not the causes of
their actions.

When Germany signed the Ver-
sailles Treaty, starvation was her al-
ternative. No provision for peaceful
revision or amendments was provided.
In a changing world such a rigid
contract cannot be expected to hold,
especially for a-nation which was
practically forced to sign.

Treaty breaking is prevented by
wise treaty making. Wilson, realiz-
ing that a rigid code could not hold
in post-war Europe, provided for
“peaceful change” when he formu-
lated his plan for a World Court.
The thirteen points concerning this
provision were discarded in composing
the covenant of the League of Na-
tions, leaving only the system of col-
lective coercion. It has been said
that the allies, by taking this atti-
tude toward defeated nations, elected
‘Hitler to power.

In the past 19 years the plan of
collective security has broken down
three times: when Italy invaded
Ethiopia; when Japan went into Man-
churia; and now when Japan is at-
tacking China herself. France can-

not ‘uphold her obligation to the |

League because of the risk it would
bring to French Indo-China. Great
Britain is in a parallel position since
intervention would, endanger Singa-
pore and Australia.

The fame of the Merion Hall Re-

shelves with the choicest trash ob-

ply of reading matter which, is not
worthwhile and the Merion Relaxa-

remedy this deficiency.

Among the volumes on its shelves
is almost every kind- of cheap and
laughable prose from Tom Swift_and
His Talking Pictures (a boy’s noble
book) to I Did Not Kill Osborne (a
detective story for sophisticated
adults). Each book is discovered by
some influential individual and after
proper publicity evokes a wave of
fevered interest. At this writing,
many of the books remain utterly un-
discovered, but several have endured
their cycles of popularity.

Marjorie Dean, Marvelous Man-
ager, is the most talked-of- book at
present. It is the tale of Marjorie
Dean of the Marjorie Dean series
(Marjorie Dean ‘High School Fresh-

Dean is in her second year of gradu-

(Gleaned. from Mr, Fenwick)

- The special session of: Congress
was opened by the President on Octo-
ber 15 with the assertion that sgome-
thing must be done to ‘halt the busi-
ness recession of the past few months.
The President’s curative policy for the
last five years has been strict regula-
tion of big business profits; now, in a
new conciliatory attitude, he suggests
that business be given greater freedom

to pull itself out of the present lapse.

The undistributed profits tax was de-
signed to stop corporation hoarding
of profits—to force the distribution of
these profits among shareholders and

ness objected that a safety reserve
was necessary to encourage invest-
ment. The President now agrees to
compromise and proposes to amend
the tax law.

However, he ‘still insists on the
Wage and Hour Bill, which exempli-
fies his general belief that depression

- should be cured from the bottom up,

by stimulating demand,. which now
lags behind supply. This, he says, can
be accomplished by raising wages.
Business replies that its costs rise
if it has to pay higher wages; conse-
quently, prices rise, and the real pur-
chasing power of the community is not

, increased. On the other hand, if ini-

tiative is unhampered, the costs cut,
business‘ can expand and _ produce
more efficiently, “and so prices - will
be low and people will be able to
buy.

On the problem of technological’

unemployment, the President insists
that when labor is supplanted by ma-
chinery the remaining workers should
receive higher wages, so that the total
labor income will remain the same.

They have agreed that, in
their opinion, Japan is violating the
pact, and that. therefore she should
come and explain her actions. Mean-
while, Shanghai and Taiynan, capital
of the great northern Shansi province,
have fallen. If the conference is to
accomplish anything, action must be
taken at once.

However, none of the nations wish
to take a decisive step. In the United
States, isolationists, such as Mr. Lib.
by, are opposed to any discriminating
action against Japan, and wish, at
most, to mediate very peacefully | be-

The anti-Communist Treaty between
Italy, Germany, and Japan, merely
sets Communism up as a bogey to
justify German aggression into the
Ukraine and Japanese action in Si-
beria. In the coming negotiations be-
tween Lord Halifax and Herr Hitler,
Germany. may possibly be willing to
give up her demands for colonies
overseas if Britain will give her a
free hand in Central Europe—that
is, a free hand to invade Czechoslo-
vakia on some pretext, and then to
go on to the Ukraine. It is incon-.
ceivable that Britain will agree.
