Hanson Stresses
Use of Resources
In War Prevention



Economizing Creates Huge
Tax Burdens, Explains
Harvard Prof

Goodhart, May 5.—“If we had
gone to higher and higher levels of
income between the wars, the
present conflict would not exist
today,” stated Dr. Alvin Hansen
in the final war assembly on Eco-
nomic Problems of the Post-War
World. Between World Wars I
and II, the “have” countries let
resources lie idle, he explained, and
the entire world was very mate-
rially damaged. The United States
must pursue its own policies to
become prosperous, for it has an
enormous influence on world pros-
perity.

Britain and the United States,
continued Dr. Hansen, have shown
the need for a new partnership be-
tween government and private en-
terprise. Brought about by evolu-
tionary change, such an enterprise
can maintain high levels of em-
ployment.

Erroneously afraid of public
debt, the public» does not realize
that economizing is the surest way
to unbearable tax burdens, stated
the Political Economy professor.
Through production, maintained
by a general optimistic attitude,
a high level of net national income
ean be attained, and we can fi-
nance the federal budget through
taxes and have more money than
ever before to spend on ourselves.
No longer will the tax burden fall
on a few, continued Hansen, but it
will be more equitably distributed
and the masses will be investing in
and for themselves.

Pointing out America’s economic
capacity for fabulous production
records, Hansen stated that since
1929 there has been a substantial
increase in the working force and
its productivity. Manufacturing

plants have increased forty per

Miss Park Returns _
For Visit to College







Miss Marion EdWards Park re-
turned to the college on Friday for
the first time since her retirement
last year. Noting little change on
the campus, she remarked, “I can
only say that I am glad to be back
and glad to see the dogwood in
bloom.” ;

Miss Park plans to stay at Bryn
Mawr until May 20. Her visit,
she reports, has been cut short at
both ends by her work on the
Scholarship Committee for the
Council of seven colleges. She will
attend the College Council for both
the old and new councils on Thurs-
day evening. Looking forward
particularly to the Faculty Party
on Saturday, Miss Park hopes to
see the new faculty children. She
will complete her visit with the
meeting of the Board of Directors
of the college, then on to the Bach
Festival at Bethlehem, Pa.

Miss Park has been living in
Plymouth, Massachusetts, doing
volunteer work with the Price Con-
trol Clinic there, which she finds
“interesting and amusing.” The
Fortune article she compared to
the previous one of 1935, calling
this April article an attempt to

Littlefield to Direct
Junior Ballet Dances





On Saturday, May 15, the Little-
field Junior Ballet will present a
benefit performance in Goodhart
Hall at 8:30. The profits are to go
to the Red Cross Juniors for their
work with the Valley Forge Hos-
pital for service men.

All the dances are of Miss Doro-
thie Littlefield’s creation, and she
will direct the performance. The
members of this junior ballet are
under nineteen years of age, and

have been trained since they were |

very young. They dance the clas-
sic ballet as well as the modern.
Miss Littlefield trains the school in
Philadelphia, and her famous pro-
fessional ballet has danced here
and, abroad.

The program is composed. of
three parts. The first is a classical
number and is followed by a Rus-
sian one.. The finale is titled “A
Tribute to our Allies.”

The Lower Merion High School
concert orchestra, directed by
Bruce C. Beach, will participate in
the benefit. It will play the Piper
of Hamlin by Johnson, selections
from H. M. S. Pinafore by Gilbert
and Sullivan, and the Procession
of the Sardor from the Caucasian
Sketches by Ippolitow. . \

Franny Matthai Defeats Isabelle Grant

To Win Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament



Bryn Mawr, May 2.—Franny
Matthai, the new Middle-Atlantic
States Women’s = Intercollegiate
Tennis Champion, won her title
dfter defeating Isabelle Grant,. of
Swarthmore, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3.

The match began carefully and
slowly, both players keeping back
from the net. Franny took the
first two games without losing a
point to her opponent and it looked
as though she would win very
easily. But in the third game, Isa-
belle Grant came back showing the
speed that up to this time she had
lacked. Taking that game and the
next two, she went on to win the
first set.

She continued to give stiff com-
petition in the second set, but was
always on the defensive and never
again got control of the match.
Franny lost only three games in
the final set, taking the last four
in succession. Up to the last point
she was still placing the ball just
where she wanted it, dropping
‘short shots over the net or smash-
ing them into the corners. She
was accurate throughout the match
and. showed good form as well as
winning performance.

Other colleges competing in the
tournament, besides Bryn Mawr
and Swarthmore, were tlfe Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania of Drexel.

Hamilton to Discuss
Perils of Industrial
Diseases in Wartime



Dr. Alice Hamilton, well-known
authority on “industrial poisons,”
will speak on “The Hazards of

| Occupational Diseases in Wartime”

on Thursday, May 13, in the Art
Lecture room at 7:30 P. M.

Dr. Hamilton was for years the
Associate Professor of Industrial
Medicine at Harvard University
School of Public Health. Later she
worked as a consultant with the
Division of Labor Standards,
United States Department of La-
bor, and the United States Health
Service.

Dr. Hamilton’s autobiography,
“Exploring the Dangerous Trades,”
recently appeared in the Atlantic
Monthly (December, 1942, to
March, 1943). In the introduction
she writes, “I saw Europe at war,
I saw the result of the starvation
blockade of Germany and Austria,
and the Quaker work of relief; I
joined the League of Nations Com-
mittee to fight disease; went to
visit Russia under Lenin; took part
in the Sacco-Vanzetti case; saw
Germany under the early months
of Hitler’s rule, Germany and
France during the ‘Munich Be-
trayal’.”’

Her first important assignment
came when Governor Deneen in
1910 appointed her to a commis-
sion to investigate wheat lead poi-
soning in Illinois. Later she was
sent to Europe to attend the In-
ternational. Congress of Occupa-
tional Accidents and Disease. One
of two Americans at this Brussels
congress, she investigated what

The Junior Prom—delightful
dance!—took place amidst decid-
edly appropriate weather last
weekend. . In spite of vague fears
that ‘people might be so busy with
papers and with tracking down
males to bring to the dance that
they would never get there, it was
very well attended. The dancers
seemed to enjoy themselves thor-
oughly, as did the enthusiastic
gallery on the balcony. There were
_also spectators on the roof, we are
told, for an occasional gleeful
squeal and a “get a load of this”
announced them. <

Nahm, panting and hopelessly en-'

The Junior Prom, we feel, should
go down in the annals .of history
as one college dance that actually
had all the dances promised on the
program. And one extra. ~

U.S. S.A.

Newspaper accounts of the United States Student Assembly
were not very encouraging to those who were hoping that this
organization would be the basis for a broad unity of all under-
graduates for concrete win-the-war action. Reports from returning
delegates indicate that the newspapers gave very inaccurate accounts
of the conference; these delegates do admit, however, that most of
the time was consumed by unconstructive arguments over the ques-
tion of the participation of Communist undergraduates in the
assembly.

We believe that it was very unfortunate that the conference
spent so much of its limited time on this rather disruptive question
when there was so much essential work to be done toward winning
the war and laying the basis for united, progressive student action
in the post-war period. Nevertheless, buried beneath the newspaper
inaccuracies and distortions, there was evidence of some construc-
tive work. The resolutions passed on both foreign and domestic
policy. demonstrated that all the delegates were united in their desire |

for more vigorous_and_clear-cut_anti-Fascist_action_in_ the conduct |

of the war. Delegates report that there was also considerable dis-
cussion of methods of campus activity to rally support for the
rN,

For these reasons we think the U. S. S. A. has a solid basis on
which to grow and to work. We hope that college newspapers all
over the country will be able to present a clearer picture of the
conference than the large commercial press did.. If undergraduates
are aware of the progress made at the weekend conference and of
the greater potentialities of the conference, we think U. S. S. A.
can develop, into a significant nationwide organization with firm
roots in many local campuses.



B2 H2
With the excuse that they do not wish to disrupt legislation
with the question of post-war reconstruction until more vital war
problems have been settled, Congress has delayed action on setting



up programs for post-war policies. This delaying action is a fre-|
quent device of Congress to kill disliked bills. Such is their repens
attitude toward the Ball, Burton, Hatch and Hill resolution which |
demands immediate action on post-war. planning and coordination
of United Nations for the winning of the war. |

Long one of the most vital problems of the war has been the
lack of complete unity among the United Nations. - It is evident

Churchill’and-Roosevelt in Africa, in the undetermined position of
China in international conferences, Poland and Russia’s recent dis-
agreement indicated that. Hitler fully realizes that-the accord be-
tween smaller Allied countries and Russia might be vulnerable to
propaganda. ’ In the ultimate invasion of Europe, it is of prime
importance that diplomatic rifts do not affect the coordination of
the armies.

With the success.in North Africa and the subsequent threat of
invasion, it is evident that arrangements for closer understanding
must be made by the United Nations. immediately. Among the
measures taken towards that goal in the United States, the B2 H2,
resolution is the most promising. Not only: does it provide for the
full coordination of countries to win the war, but, also gives them
assurance of the United States’ policies. One of the main handicaps
in the present relations between the United Nations. isthe lack of
faith in each other’s statements. and moves. The commitment of
each nation to a world court, police force and administration of the.

Bemelmanns’ Autobiography
Reveals Unique Spirit,
Sparse Subtlety

Generally







Specially Contributed
by Ellen Harriman, ’46

In spite of the title, J Love You,
I Love You, I Love You, Ludwig
Bemelmanns’ new book is one of
the most refreshingly innocent in
many years. Chapter Two begins,
“She came over into my bed and
laid her ash-blonde head on my new
pajamas .. .” but, as the lady in
question is the author’s small
daughter, even this is not ques-
tionable.

Written with subtlety verging
on the sparse, the stories deal with
that forgotten time when one
could go to Europe in the bridal
suite of the Normandie, live at the
Ritz in Paris, and take long ram-
bling motor trips. to famous
chalets. Bemelmanns was a man
with money to burn, and he burned
it in the most profitable manner.
He adopted a small slum child and
considered bringing him up in the
lap of luxury until he realized that
the boy was quietly making off
with the vintage champagne. For
his daughter’s companion, he en-
gaged a hungry-looking dope-ped-
dler, pest master of the art of
pickpocketing, who became so at-
tached to Bemelmanns that he re-
turned his employer’s watch with-
out being asked. He found the
perfect valet in a small town to
which the man had fled from
Devil’s Island; he investigated the
Shrunken Human Head business
in. the tropics, and“learned to tell
counterfeit from the McCoy. He
let his daughter design her own
clothes and suffered with her
through all the horrors of a sum-
mer camp.

The book is full of humor—real
humor, rich and quiet and memor-
able. Bemelmanns is funny be-
cause of his eye for the amusing
and the poker face with which he
recounts it. Swift-moving and
absorbing from start to finish, F
Love You, etc., is a work of lasting
charm; not for the newness of it
or even for the laughs, but because
it has a spirit of its own and a defi-
nite documentary value—plus the
beguiling personality of a rare and
wonderful man.



major who has tried valiantly to
wade through the various plans
finds, like so many of the rest of
us, that they don’t make much
sense. However, she, too, favors
pay-as-you-go, which she calls the
“lazy approach.” She objects
strongly to the “forgiving bunk,”
however, as she feels they are not
missing a year of taxes. “They’re
going to get paid every year!”
And that is another thing that
bothers a number of people.

A Rhoads senidr approves of
pay-as-you-go, but thinks that the
high brackets should not be for-
given. That is, “the people who
have already saved the money for
next year’s taxes and also the
people whose taxes will be lower
this year than last, would be get-
ting out of things.” She pointed
out that she does not favor taxing
for taxing’s sake, but to prevent
inflation which would follow if the
money is spent. One unique form
of reasoning holds that the people
who were bright enough to save
the money to pay last year’s taxes
would be too intelligent to go out
and spend it, and inflation would
be prevented anyway. This, in-
deed, is a moot point. Others feel
that the “capital ’ levies” part
added to the Ruml plan would take
care of this anyway.

An anonymous member of the
faculty was approached with our
appalling question and __ neatly
evaded with, “I maintain an open
and vacant mind.” But when
pressed further, he admitted that
he has violent opihions, and he
bewailed the fact that they don’t
affect his Congressman much.

Some feel that the whole tax
question is “infinitely dull’ or
impossibly intricate. One points
out that as we’ve already started
paying last year’s taxes and a
switch now might be difficult. But
the prize remark was loftily made
in the library: “I; ignore taxa-
tion.” How beautifully simple!

Common Room, May 11.—The
establishment of the Petain re-
gime in Vichy and French West
Africa following the fall of France,
and the de Gaulle-Giraud contro-
versy were. discussed in the light
of three recent’ news articles by
Madge Daly at Current Events.
The first was a letter to The New
York Times from Camille Chau-
temps, the second, the report of
T. C. Wasson, former American
Consul at Dakar, and the last, the
Darlan message.

Chautemps wrote to explain an
interview given by Paul Vienot in
London in June, 1940, Petain, Miss
Daly said, had consented to trans-
fer part of his government to
North Africa when he realized that
it was in danger of losing all of
its freedom of discussion due _ to
the German advance on Bordeaux.
He wanted to delegate Chautemps
to North Africa but because of the
opposition of Weygand, Bouthillier
and Baudoin, others were to go
to Morocco instead: Darlan ar-
ranged for a ship and an escort
but Laval is blamed for the fail-
ure of the plan to succeed. Bou-
thillier and Baudoin are known to
be definitely in favor of collabora-
tion with Germany.

Wasson’s report is very interest-
ing, since people in this country
and in England feel that the Vichy













resolution is a bi-partisan measure, its passage will mean that the
United States is unified in its approval of its-aims “and methods.
This fact, and the position that the United States will’ hold jin the
organization of the United Nations, will decrease the fear that the
other nations have of the United States failing to take its place in
post-war international organization as it did after the last war..
The necessary unity and planning can be attained by getting |
the B2 H2 resolution out of committee and up before the Senate
now.- At present no action is. being taken by the Foreign Relations
Committee. Public pressure must be exerted: to make the Senate

Reports of Human Interest
Recommended by Student
To Enliven News







Friday, April 30.
To the Editor of the News:

The News has correctly and re-
peatedly stated in its editorials
that the Bryn Mawr campus is
suffering from a permanent and
mortal case of inertia, and, on the
whole, the News has succeeded in
remaining the most alive organ on
the campus. Which is not saying
much. The News can and should
do much more than it is doing to
express the attitude and life of the
572 (?) girls here in college, and
I, for one, should like to see it
done.

In the first place, the editor
seems to be trying to pattern the
paper after the New York Times—
staid, conservative, accurate, and
informative. That is a worthy
néwspaper aim. But a_ college
paper must be more than that.
College girls, even Bryn Mawr
girls, are not so thoroughly intel-
lectual that they must rely solely
on a sporadic Wits End to liven
their “representative” sheet.
Amusing, interesting, human in-

‘terest stories do happen on cam-

pus, even. if the News Board
seems to be somewhat unable to
recognize them as such. A lecture,
such as that of the other night,
should, agreed, be reported as a
straight news story, as this issue
of the News is doing, but there
was more to the Frost evening
than the word for word transla-
tion of what few concrete things
he did say. The audience knew it,
and the News reporters knew it—
and the same is true of most of the
things happening around campus.
If it were only possible to put a
little human interest of any sort,
a little more deviation from the
hide-bound rules of Timesian re-
porting, the News would easily
succeed in overcoming a large part
of the inertia in their readers.

The editors are to be com-
mended for their abandonment of
the nonsensical features about
squirrels on the front lawn and
other such airy space-fillers, and’
the lack of time available is cer-
tainly to be taken into account,
but I feel that with such a large
staff and a slightly proportional
amount of ingenuity, much more
can be done.

Yours truly,

A SOPHOMORE.



government in’French West Africa
under the governor general, Pierre

mans are using Dakar as a sub-

Penn Baseball le:

Downed by Owls, 22-6

Bryn Mayr, May 6.—By limit-
ing Penn to six hits and pulling
off two spectacular double plays,
Bryn Mawr trounced the Blue and
Red team, 22-6.

The Owls not only showed mag-
nificent teamwork on the field, but
proved equally effective in the hit-
ting department. They kept bat-
ting the ball out of the infield all
afternoon and, with Lucy Mott
leading the barrage with three for
five, collected fourteen hits off the
Penn moundsmen.

The first double play by the
Owls came in the third inning with
two on and one out. Evaline Hitz
caught a high fly in left field and
then nailed the Penn runner at
third with a beautiful throw to the
bag. In the fourth the Owls put
on a repeat performance, this time
starting the play from short cen-
ter field and catching the runner
at second.

The Owls opened the first inning
coming to the plate twelve times.
In the field they set Penn down in
order. Pat Franck made the final

Appeal for Workers



Common Room, May 5.— The
chance to experienge the pride of
a good harvest, fine physical con-
dition and farm life in general,
was offered to Bryn Mawr students
last week. Mrs. Washburn, of the
Farm for Freedom Movement in
New York, Miss Petts, represent-
ing the United States Board of
Agriculture, and Betty Szold, a
member of the Volunteer Land
Corps, explained how these volun-
teer groups afford such opportuni-
ties and also provide hired help for
the farmers through volunteer ef-
forts of high school and college
girls all over the country.

The Farm for Freedom Move-
ment, Mrs. Washburn said, was
begun last year when desperate
Columbia County farmers in New
York begged for hired help to save
the crops. In the present set-up,
each worker, before entering, pays
$10 for her room and board. She
will supposedly earn back” this
amount and a few extra dollars.
With transportation provided for
her, she is paid by the piecework

ist camps, examined by the Boards
of Sanitation and Health, are usu-

Picnics, local explorations and
church meetings provide recreation
from the eight hour days of heavy
work. The workers are divided
into groups of fifty, with twg -su-
pervisors for each group. The
worker may come for a two-week
period, but the Movement prefers
that she farm for a month.

The Volunteer Land Corps, on
the contrary, is a full summer job,
Betty Szold emphasized. The hired
hands work for the most part on

Movies Picture Life
In Ecuador, Yucatan



Music Room, May 5.—A movie
of Ecuador, showing its cities and

farms and

its relation to the

United States, was given by the

Spanish’ Club

last Wednesday.

Two shorter movies accompanied

it on

Yucatan and its hemp pro-

duction, and the cities of Monte-

video

and Buenos Aires. A com-

mentator described the countries
and their inhabitants, and told of

their

modern. activities with spe-

cial emphasis on the development

of products

needed. by other

nations.

Much of Ecuador’s financing is
done by the United States, which
wishes to see its agriculture devel-

oped.

equipment and

South

North America has supplied
instructors for
American schools, and con-

tributed to the building of roads
_ and betterment of machinery. The
United States has agreed to share
her Navy with Ecuador in the

event

that the other’s long coast-

line, not far from Panama, should

be attacked.

There was also an

appeal from Arroyo del Rio, Presi-

dent

of Ecuador’s republic, for

further cooperation.
Yucatan is chiefly known for its
production of chicle, and the hemp

from which our rope is made.

Al-

though life in this Mexican prov-
ince is simple and self-sufficient,
it has been forced to adapt its
agriculture to the needs of more
advanced countries, and in conse-
quence its standards of living are
‘rising.

' Reels also were shown of Buenos

port and a beautiful and cultured

The main im-

portance of the bill lies in its defi-

military and economic cooperation

as now exists.

Technical confer-
have been held to consider

particular difficulties, she said, but
there has been no definite consider-
ation of such problems as the lim-

Placement Service

Miss Petts explained the govern-
ment-organized Farm Placement
Service. The advantage of the
government service is the certainty
of being sent where the need is
the greatest. The students’ war
work, said Miss Petts, is their col-
lege work, but farm work in the
summer will only make the student
more fit for her winter job. The
Philadelphia Service is organized
in two branches. At Bridgeton,
New Jersey, on a 30,000 acre farm,
1000 new barracks have been set
up for student help. The wages
are 50c per hour. The crops farmed
at this camp go directly to the
armed forces. It also has taken
over camps, Girl Scout and others,
and converted them for the use of
workers. A plea has been made
for counselors for these camps. A
course for interested college stu-
dents is now in progress in Phila.
délphia and a second will be given
when more apply.
All speakers stressed the fact
that these are patriotic war jobs,
not just summer vacations, that
the work is hard and long and the
pay small. The need for workers
pay small.

no long-range plan similar to the
Nazis’, and our plan must then be
developed as definite peace aims
based on our war aims. , This may
help us, Dr. Mackinnon said, to
avoid the fatal sense of relief after
the war, which would lead us to
relapse again into the complacency
of isolationism.

Emphasizing the fact that this
is a Congressional resolve and not
merely a theoretical problem, Ros-
alind Wright urged all students
and faculty to write to their Con-
gressmen. “In a democracy, agree-
ment is not essential but partici-
pation is,” she said.

Quizzed Professors,

Ad Libs, Enliven WHAV

Out of the welter of professorial
voices Monday night, came the
first quiz show on WHAV. Styled
“Addled Wits, or Some Informa-
tion” by Mr. Weiss, master of cere-
monies, the program was given the
most punch by Mr. Herben, an-
nounced as an authority on Med-
ieval Armour. Mr. Watson and
Mr. Post, of Haverford, completed
the board of experts.

When asked to give the correct
title that went with the sub-title,
“Where is Francis?” Mr. Herben
remarked, “Where, indeed.” Find-
ing himself unable to answer the
question, Mr. Herben quipped, “If
you’re going to continue in my pro-
fession, I’m going to charge tu-
torial rates.”” The question was
muffed and the winner announdéd
as Hildreth Dunn. “Wait until
Wednesday, Miss Dunn,” said Mr.
Herben.

Chris Cobb’s question, on what
five places should a woman wear
perfume, received the reply, “Good
God Almighty!” while Mr. Watson
wondered whether the places were
geographic.

Mr. Post was unable to identify

‘Stage Fright, Roast Beef, Maze-like Kitchen

Contribute to Excitement of Inn‘ Waitress



By Patricia Platt, ’45
| There are moments when the
Inn resembles a madhouse. I
speak from bitter experience. Two
weeks ago this pioneer student
waitress, baffled as to what. the
proper uniform should ‘be, set off
to the pet resort of idle hours.
Opening the door that leads to
hamburgers and pecan buns is an
experience in more than one sense.
To elaborate: if a well-wishing
waitress turns up bright and
cheery of a Sunday noon the first
thing that happens is that she is
invited to sit down. Roast beef?
Butter? We thought this was just
bait, but found that it was neces-
sary reinforcement.

The terror of facing your first
, customer is overwhelming. The
weak smile, the shaking. hand and

this spring, and that the next real

coup will necessarily be made by

us. Our bombing raids are already

having their effect on the German
people, and their morale is suf-

fering greatly. The emphasis in

Goebbels’
from “strength through joy’ to

“strength through fear.” The Ger-
man people are prepared for a
long struggle.
According to recent Axis publi-
cations, the welfare of the civilians
- has become of great strategic and
political importance to German of-
ficials. Certain luxuries are now
considered essential for civilians,
said Sir Gerald, and almost equal
in importance to armaments for
the soldiers. But, he emphasized,
Germany is still strong and must
not be underestimated. There is
a long, hard fight ahead of them,
and ahead of us.

Better World

The slogan of the last war was
“Never again,’ and in this war
such a slogan is even more impor-
tant. It is up to the younger gen-
eration to fight for and create a
better world where there can be
no more war. The movies and the

speeches has changed

radio, contemporaries of __ this
younger generation, have great
possibilities in influencing the

world as a whole. Using his work
in Abyssinia as an example, Sir
Gerald showed how foreign, back-
ward countries are dependent on
such sources for their impressions
of their so-called allies. Radio has
become a “weapon of life and
death” in Nazi-ruled countries, and
it may have as great a role in the
civilized world.

We must learn, Sir Gerald said,
through these mediums’ to “neigh-
bor” each other. Cooperation be-
tween England and America and
all the little countries of the world
is essential for the prevention of
war. -America has always been a
land of pioneers and they must
be pioneers now in creating the
necessary widespread feeling of
dual loyalty “to your country and
to the world as a whole.”

This is the time to prepare for
the battle of the peace, Sir Gerald
stated, and we must make ready to
fight the general mental disillu-
sionment that always follows war.
We must establish security before
commercial systems can be set up,
for we will have to meet disease
and hunger and mass feelings of
revenge. It will be an era of “in-
teresting but difficult” problems,
aiming at a necessary freedom
from bias and from ignorant preju-
dice.

and in the building of a better
world.”
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Roose-
velt and James Carey addressed
the conference. They both empha-

as the U. S. S. A. can play in a
democracy. Mrs. Roosevelt said
that the principal function of a
student movement is to give youth
practice in the working of democ-
racy. “Students in a youth organ-
ization must be honest and open in
their dealings with each other; the
danger lies in groups which con-
ceal their true intents and pur-
poses.” Mr. Carey said that the
U.S. S. A. has a great opportunity
to develop an organization through
which youth can express itself, and
concluded that “Democracy is tur-
bulent, not peaceful. We may ac-
cept the statement of a problem
but we must..work out our own
solution. If we lay down any reac-
tionary philosophy, the organiza-
tion is bound to fail.”

Partisan Groups

A question period followed the
two speeches. Mrs. Roosevelt was
asked just what group she referred
to as concealing its purposes. Re-
plying with a brief description of
her experience with the American
Youth Congress, she said that
“The Young Communist League is
impossible to work with because
its absolute unanimity coupled
with abrupt, unpredictable changes
in policy, make it undependable.
A democratic youth organization
needs for its very existence per-
sons of widely varying views, but
it cannot survive the kind of split
which occurs when the young Com-
munists, as a body, completely re-
verse their policy overnight. good illustration of this took place
at the time of the German invasion
of Russia.”

The most important session took
place on Sunday when the com-
mittees made their reports. . The
new constitution was presented
and discussed, article by article.
Lawrence Harris of City College
New York, proposed an amend-
ment which would have allowed
any partisan political group to be
chartered as a chapter of U. S. S.
A. An amendment to his amend-
ment was proposed to exclude
Fascist and Communist groups.

The resulting discussion took up
a major part of the afternoon.
Although there was a general de-
sire to be fair to individual Com-
munist students, there was at the
same time a fear that if groups
were admitted, the fate which be-

movie actress, the would-be wait-
ress takes the slip, then wonders
what to do with it. Once in the
kitchen it is discovered that the
temperature is at a minimum of
212 degrees, and that there is a
considerable barrier in the form
of a collection of ice cream, soup,
and something that mysteriously
sprouts salads in the way. If you
pass this, the maze-like structure
of the Inn kitchen is evident. The
wanderer follows a tortuous blind
alley only to wind up in the dish-
washery. A low steady bleat of
“meat” is the most effective way
of gaining that objective. A
friendly maid will, likely as not,
give a shove in the right direction.
A slower, surer method is through
sense of gravity. The floor is con-
structed at a 45-degree angle.

fell previous student organizations
could very easily be repeated. The
amendment was accepted to ex-
clude Communist groups, but there
is nothing to prevent individual
Communist students from belong-
ing to the organization and taking
an active part in it.

The constitution provides for an
annual conference and an execu-
tive body which shall charter the
autonomous campus groups. These
groups are to be composed of un-
dergraduates only. Five. regional
representatives and five members
at large, the latter taken from the
eastern seaboard to facilitate fre-
quent meeting's, were elected to the
executive committee.

The conference was concluded
with the adoption of two resolu-
tions drawn up by the program
committee—one on foreign issues
and the other on domestic affairs.
The foreign program calls for
greater United Nations coopera-
tion during the war, an interna-
tional organization for the peace
to Avhich member states must re-
linquish some of their sovereign
rights, and a police force to back
up/the international government.
More specifically, the resolution

condemned those policies of the:

State Department which pay lip-
service to Fascism.

The domestic resolution stressed
the need for securing economic
and social equality for all Amer-
icans regardless of race, creed or
color. Support was given to such
organizations as the Fair Labor
Practices Committee and the Na-
tional Resources Planning Board.

Round Tables

At the other sessions, round

| tables on foreign and domestic is-

sues were held. Three representa-
tives of the International Student
Assembly spoke on the college and
universities of their various coun-

fully as we are now, he continued,
we could achieve a standard of liv-

with the Federal Reserve Index of
110 in 1929, the present index is
over 200, and the gross national |

the major income-generating fac-
tors after the last war to invest-
ments in inventories, an export
surplus, capitalization of business
equipment, and the high level of
construction expenditures.

Deferred Demand

The deferred demand for con-
sumers’ goods is much greater now
than during the last war, contin-
ued Hansen, since “business as
usual” characterized World War I,
while production in this war is
compartively all-out for arma-
ments and war materials. In spite
of the deferred demand, however,
the employment discharges that
will take place after this war are
enormous. . Not. all of the unem-
ployed will remain in the labor
market, he added, and there will
be some absorption in_ trade,
services, and “agricultural indus-
tries, but a volume of construction |
must be planned to help feed back |
into manufacturing. The contin-j
ued high demand for consumers’ |
durables will not increase employ- |
ment, and there will be an unsatis-
fied demand for a while.

Concerning government invest- |
ment in industry, Hansen ex-|
plained that the government treas-
ury can afford to invest without
full return. ©The increased pro-
ductivity, resources, and income of
a developed community increases
the tax power over individuals, he
said, and thus the government gets
returns indirectly. Private funds
cannot do this. Furthermore, he

Lecture on Viruses

Presented by Berry



Dalton Hall, May 7.—A brief
history of virus research, with spe-
cial emphasis on recent studies in

the field, was presented by Mr.

Berry, assistant professor of Bi-
ology, last Friday evening at the
monthly Science Club meeting.

The almost universal occurrenee
of viruses and their widespread
pathological effects have stimulated
extensive medical and _ biological
research. A _ partial list of the
diseases they cause includes rabies,
poliomyelitis, smallpox, the com-
mon cold, flu, yellow fever—and
warts.

Formerly called “filterable vi-
rus” because of their extremely
small size and ability to pass
through filters which retain bac-
terias, they are visible only under
the electron microscope. By ultra-
filtration and ultracentrifugation
their actual size has been esti-

“mated, Mr. Berry said.

Viruses live only in media con-
taining: living cells or tissues.
While bacteria’ are usually inter-
cellular in their action, virus are
more restricted, being only intra-
cellular. It was discovered by two
investigators during the last war
that bacteria themselves are para-
sitized by- virus. Studying these
viruses, or “bacteriophages,” has
answered many questions concern-
ing their physiological processes
and pathogenic effects.

Mr. Berry described one interest-
ing experiment which involved the
simultaneous growth and culture
of two different virus pathogenic
for the same bacteria. Each virus
was shown to have a perfectly spe-
cific growth period but when the
two were present in different rela-
tive amounts and under differing
conditions they produced effects
varying accordingly. Usually the
presence of two different strains in
the same culture effects the block-
ing of the action of one type by the

Engineers from the Hav-

action of the other.

Ultra-violet light treatment is
found to stop the growth and re-
production of a virus, but not its
bacteriacidal action or its action
against other viruses. It is hoped,
Mr. Berry stated, that this property
may at some time be used in the
prevention or cure of disease. The
de-activation of viruses is accom-
plished by the action of another.

In the study of viruses patho-
genic to man, small intermediate
animals susceptible to the same
diseases are often employed to
maintain a soma of the virus.
There the effects of the virus dis-
ease can be watched, and likewise,
from the same sources ‘viruses to
be used as antigens for immunizing
against the disease they cause, can
be obtained.
