Dr. Burns Notes

NRPB’s Research Director

In Vital, Work.

Goodhart, April 20.—The prob-
lem of. freedom from want is,
above’ all,: not) a) nee |war emer
gency, but:a permanent, and Vital
problem for the welfare of a coun-
try, said Dr,, Bveling, Byrns,) Di-
rector of Research for the Na-
tional Resources Planning Board,
in a lecture sponsored by the War
Alliance. We have ‘never been
fully aware of the importance of
a program for full employment to
the economie status of ‘the’ world.

Even now, Dr. Burns empha-
sized,,when the United States em-



ployment is at its peak, there are.

four million households dependent
on public aid, a full quarter of a
million above the Board’s esti-
mated maximum:

In formulating its policies, the
Board: has had to examine the pro-
grams already in operation, deriv-
ing from them the facts necessary
to form a basis for Practical, last-
ing plans.

Realizing the defects of contem-
porary measures, the Planning
Board has published its proposed
policies, in an. effort to improve
and integrate the variety of secur-
ity programs now in’ existence. To

moved to locations of expanding
opportunity, and the ‘government

Senator Ball, and contained the
following ‘points:

Senator. Ball explained the ne-
cessity for immediate action,

Auden, Brien, Edel,
Pay Tribute to Work,
Life of Henry James



The. Deanery; April 15.— The
poet, W. H. Auden, Mr. Donald
Brien, and Mr. Leon Edel spoke
at the celebration of the centenary
of the birth of Henry James.

Miss Lucy Martin Donnelly,

‘Professor Emeritus of, English “at

Bryn Mawr, introduced the speak-
ers. Miss. Donnelly related first
her own recollections of the great
novelist’s visits to Bryn Mawr:
orfce’ in 1894, when he spoke on
Balzae, and again in 1905, when
he discussed “Our Speech” at,Com-
mencement. His distinguished
presence and piercing glance pro-
duced ‘an “indescribable” effect on
the eager audience, for he was
then.at-the-height.of his fame.
Donald Brien, a collector of
Henry James, gave his account of

And WAACS
Major Ruth Cheney Streeter, of
the Marine Corps; Lieutenant

Jean Palmer, U. S. N. R., and
First Officer Jessie Pearl Rice, of
the Women’s Auxiliary Army
Corps, will speak at an Under+
graduate assembly on the _indi-
vidual branches .of the services
and how women can be of service
in time of war, on Tuesday, April
27, at 12:00 P. M. in Goodhart.

Major Streeter, dire¢tor of the
Women’s Reserve of the United
States Marine Corps, is a Bryn
Mawr alumna, class of 1918. Long
interested in aviation, she became
a licensed commercial pilot and in
1941 was the only woman member
of the Committee on Aviation,
New Jersey Defense Council. With
her mother, Mrs. W. H. Schofield,
she gave, the “Cheney” award,
which is given every year to some
member of the Army Air Corps for
“acts of valor or extreme fortitude
or self-sacrifice.” It was given
in memory of her brother, Lieuten-
lant William H. Cheney, who was
killed in World War I in an air
collision.

Lieutenant Palmer, also a Bryn
Mawr alumna, class of 1924, is an
executive officer of the Women’s
Reserve Division of the Navy De-
partment. Before becoming a
“Wave,” she was the _ business
manager of the Junior League of
America.

First Officer Rice is the Service
Command ‘director of the W. .A.

A, WAVE, a:WAAC, and a
“Marine” will be in. the Deanery .«
on Tuesday afternoon from 1:30
to 4:00 to see.anyone interested in
' these services.

James_has enjoyed great
fame but comparative unpopular-
ity; “he has attracted: more criti-
cal attention than any _ novelist
since the Civil War.” Mr. Brien’s
interest was first aroused by the
difficult Notes of a Novelist, by
Mr. James. Finding. that this
book did not yield its secret easily,
he started on a life-long study of
the works of Henry James.

The eminent critic, Leon Edel,
whose article on Henry James and
W. H. Auden: ‘will, appear in next
month’s Poetry,,.discussed his ob-
servations of James’ work. A
“novelist’s novelist,” he asks al-
ways to be met on his own ground.
He wants the reader’ to enjoy: his
virtuosity and for this; reason; his
novels are the most “unrelaxed
ever written”; they demand mi-
nute attention. His books are “too
good for the public” and he must
have an/audience addicted to him
who , will’ appreciate the “great
tonal canvasses of astonishing
richness.”

critic, who is'now teaching at

Swarthmore, read his own tribute

rears Theories,
Elucidated by Nahm

Common Room, April 14.—A
consideration of the structure of
a work of art and various perti-
nent aesthetic theories was the
topic of the paper which Dr. Nahm
read: last Wednesday. The work
of art, said Dr. Nahm, stands for
and is the sign of what the artist
feels about the non-aesthetic fac-
tors. he incorporates into his work.
This incorporation is accomplished
‘in the’ artist’s particular sensuous
media,

Dr. Nahm opposed A. C, Brad-
ley’s view, taken from. Matthew
Arnold’s' statement that the “sym-
bol is‘ equivalent with the thing
symbolized”; Bradley holds ‘that
a. work of art. provides its. own
frame of reference, and its struc-
ture is such that it is immediately
intelligible without abstraction.
Dr. Nahm brought out that an
analysis, of structure alone is. im-
portant but not sufficient. Rodin
‘said that lines and tints were
“signs of hidden realities,” and
'that the work of art is enriched
\'by spiritual content. This implies,
Dr: Nahm. said, that there are
,certain, non-aesthetie factors pres-
pe in the work of art which are
evolved by the artist’s technical

' opments. of..Bradley’s theory .of

the students do not spend sufficient time on the subjects to assure
permanent improvement in posture or speaking ability.

These courses attempt to form new habits with a few hours of
theory and practice. They are intended to give students something
of value; yet in the majority of cases have failed to do so.
enough opportunities for practical application of the theories are
provided so that correct speech and posture become habitual. When
students feel they are getting nothing out of a course, they neglect
their work in it. Thus these requireds are considered just another
handicap to graduation i many cases. They are added difficultres
for transfers trying to meet the many larger required courses.

More intensive studies of diction and body mechanics in which
the student could be given credit for the time and effort spent on
them, would be one solution. In that way, students would not pass
the courses until they had succeeded in getting out of them what
was intended. If such a system is not possible or practical, these
subjects should be abolished.

Abolish the Poll-Tax
The fight to abolish the poll-tax was almost successful in the
last Congress. The filibuster that effectively killed the anti-poll tax
bill then could have been stopped. Public pressure had succeeded
in getting the bill nearer passage than ever before in its history. A
little more letter-writing would probably have pushed it through.
Representative Marcantonio, of New York, is now sponsoring

an antj-poll tax bill, which is in the process of going through the ;

same difficult struggle for passage as the last one. The bill is now
in committee; in order to bring it out for a vote a certain number
of congressmen must sign a petition asking this. When the last bill
was in committee letter-writing by citizens requesting that their
congressmen sign the petition brought the bill out on the floor.
More public pressure asking congressmen to vote for the measure
brought its passage through the House. The same procedure was
used when the companion bill came before the Senate.

~ The Marcantonio bill has almost leaped the first hurdle. Only
a few more signatures are needed to bring it out of committee.
Since the present bill is not receiving as much newspaper attention
as the last-one it is all the more necessary that the drive to bring
it out of committee be successfully concluded very soon.‘ We urge
an intensive letter-writing campaign to prevent a long delay which
may be fatal to the bill.

The fact that the poll-tax, denies suffrage to thousahds of
Southern Americans is well known. It has been opposed on this
basis alone for many years. The struggle against the poll-tax now
takes on the character of a war measure. The darker races of the
world, including the American Negroes, cannot be blamed for
listening to our democratic win-the-war slogans with a bit of
skepticism when they are aware of this serious violation of
democracy within our own borders.

Unspent Cash, Idle Sympathy
Will Not Help War Effort,
Senior Asserts
To the Editor of the College News:

A few days ago I was talking to
a member of the faculty about the
United States Treasury Second
War Loan Campaign and what
Bryn Mawr College could, would,
and should do about it. The gen-
tleman to whom I was talking ex-
pressed a view which, I dare say, is
common to an unfortunately large
percentage of the people who make
up this institution. He said in
effect that we cannot expect or
even hope for an overwhelming
response because this is not a war
community—the members of this
community are not directly af-
fected by the war.

In a very limited sense that
statement may be true. To date



important part has been neglected.
A large barrel of cans goes once a
week from each hall to the Power-
house. There the ends must be re-
moved, the labels soaked off, and

about such planning.

proper conduct of the war will lay
the successful groundwork of the
peace. We cannot really win this
war without the concerted effort
of every American,-whether he be
on the battle front or on the home
front. We cannot win without the
cooperation of every man and
woman, capitalist and _ laborer,
white and. black, Gentile and Jew,
“Mayflower American” and Amer-
ican or Irish, Italian, German,
Russian, and Oriental descent. We
cannot hope for, we have no right
to expect, the full cooperation of
‘each and every individual unless
jand until each and every one can
be reasonably sure that he will
: have a real guarantee of the four
‘freedoms. And we know now that
no free nation can survive as such
‘so long as freedom is not univer-
sal. We are fighting to regain
and to maintain the pre-conditions
for progress.

Consider that provocative state-
ment again. Is there anyone on
this campus from the maids and
porters to the president who will
/not be vitally affected by the out-
come of the war?

Students have not offered to help
with the scrap collection, either
because they have never heard of
the Committee’s activities, or be-
cause they had not considered'
them important. We need volun-
teers. Two representatives from
each hall, spending one hour a
week, could easily take care of the
job. All those interested please
get in touch with Mary Hemphill
in Denbigh.

The maids and porters,
and those of the rest of the com-
munity who are members of mi-
nority groups stand only to join
the ranks of the vast number of
Fascist scapegoats in the event of
an Axis victory. Others of us
might be allowed to keep our
physical lives intact. Certainly
none of us would be allowed intel-

Iswolsky Says Russia |

Becoming Democratic



Common Room, April’ 18.—The |

Russians are turning away from |
Communism and more towards de- |
mocracy and humanism, Miss Hel- |
en Iswolsky pointed out in her
talk, “The Soul of Russia Today,”
at the Catholic Club tea.
analysis of religion in Russia, she
showed a growing aversion among
the people towards the atheism,
totalitarianism, and world revolu-
tion of the Marxian theory of com-
munism. Their religious activi-
ties, literature, and trends in
government were cited as evidence.

Miss Iswolsky stressed the fact
that Bolshevist doctrines are not
fundamentally Russian, but rather
have come from the western ma-
terial and atheism of Karl Marx
and Hegel. Social justice and the
ideals of universal brotherhood
were developing among the people
long before the rise of Lenin. The
peasants never accepted atheism
and the anti-religious persecution |
had to be conducted by trained |
men of the Communist party.

Religion was never extinguished
but went on underground. The
Godless Union tried to suppress re- ;
ligion by burning Bibles and pray-
er books, but the people hid their
possessions until the period of per-
secution was over. Stalin has now |
relaxed many of the anti-religious
rules, although religion is not al-
lowed to be. taught.

This revival of religion is ex-
pressed in the national spirit. The
mottos of heroes, such as the great
hero of.the Middle Ages, Alexan-
der Newsky, “God not in strength
but in Truth,” are being revived
instead of Lenin’s. This same
spirit may be found in literature,
where references are made to the
strength and hope of religion.

Miss Iswolsky predicted that a
result of the war will be a re-
placement of party men with ca-
reers in the civil wars by more
democratic leaders who have risen
from the ranks. There will be a
revival and purification, an aspi-
ration to a universal brotherhood.
These aims will serve as a barrier
against world revolution. There
will be no need to fear Red im-
perialism as long as free expres-
sion is allowed.

Owl Team Massacred

By Aggressive Faculty



Gym, April 18.—Putting their
books back on the shelf for a few
moments, the faculty wasted no
time in proving their athletic
prowess, and by a 30-18 win over
the varsity team, established pro-
fessorial superiority on the bas-
ketball court. —

With spectacular rifle - arm
passes that shot from one end of
the court to the other, they mas-
sacred the Owl team. That mas-
sacre was not altogether figura-
tive. Players crashed to the floor,
—not the safest place during
the stampedes that raged up and
down the court. But injuries
were. not serious, and when the
maelstrom was over, both teams
left under their own power.

As a precaution, the faculty was
given a resume Of the polite pro-
cedure of girls’ basketball play.
On the scoreboard they appeared
under the harmless name of “vis-
itors,” but the Owls found out
that was simply an incognito and
that they were dealing with an
elusive as well as dangerously ag-
gressive band of players. . The
last half the game was not far
removed from a three-ring wres-
tling match. It was not a brand
of basketball put out by Madison
Square Garden, but it was fast
and hard and fortunately not taken
too seriously by anyone.

New Manpower Bill |
Attacked by Carver

Continued from Page One
amendment has been added to the
bill allowing, drafted workers to;
join a union, but it outlaws the
closed shop. “Wages would be de-
termined by the government,” she
said.

Miss Carver stated that the com- |
pulsory draft of labor would not |
prevent labor hoarding. It also,
could not eliminate other contra- |
dictions in the war economy—the |
overlapping of jurisdiction, the in-
ability of important plants to carry |
on continuous production because |
of the lack of certain vital mate- |
rials. Miss Carver advocated the |
passage of the Tolan-Kilgore-Pep:|
per bill, which would “organize!
the entire economy along the lines |
of a single plant.”

The Tolan-Kilgore-Pepper bill
is very broad and is based on the |
idea that there is “no phase of
economic life which can be un-
essential for total war.” It would
continue the various war agencies |
that now exist, but would coordi- |
nate their activities under one ex-
ecutive. The Tolan-Kilgore-Pep-
per bill provides for more labor
representation than now exists in
war agencies.

Miss Carver pointed out that
the A. FF, of. L. and: the C. I. 0,
were joined by the National As-
sociation of Manufacturers in their
opposition to the Austin-Wads- |
worth Bill. She also said that the |
manpower shortage was much ex- |
aggerated, in view of the failure |
to use the great Negro labor sup- |
ply in the best way possible. She
urged the restoration of the Fair |
Employment Practices Comniission |
to enforce the anti-discrimination
clause in government contracts
held by war industries.

A motion was made ahd passed
by the meeting directing the sec-
retary to write letters to the ap-
propriate agencies expressing the
group’s opposition to the Austin-
Wadsworth Bill, its support of the
Tolan-KilgoresPepper bill and ne
desire for the restoration of ai
