Policy Condemned
, by R. G. Swing
Cites ‘False Negotiations’
Made by Chamberlain
and Bonnet
Goodhart Hall, Oct. 26.—Taking
The Intrigue for World Power as his
subject, Raymond Gram ‘Swing de-
policy of “peace by agreement” as it
was carried out in the recent Czecho-
slovakian crises. The tactics of “los-
ing wars without bloodshed” have
made intriguing negotiations the only
moral basis of. European diplomacy
Each crisis was produced along a
similar pattern: the statement of in-
tentions by the aggressor, the rise of
resistance in England and France,
and finally a betrayal of this resist-
ance from within. Mr, Swing con-
cluded: “The mistake of the past has
been that | the price has never been
payable at. ‘the time,” but it "has al-
ways had ‘to be paid. with interest
later. He prophesied Fascist domina-
tion of the western hemisphere if the
democracies do not learn to stand
firm, even at the price of war.
“The problem since the war has
been to organize power behind jus-
tice.” The League of Nations, which
was to do this, failed first because the
United States retreated, while Ger-
many and Russia could not enter the
League as it was originally organized.
Secondly, it was “tied to the Treaty
pression of justice.” Until 1931 the
League lived on prestige and escaped
challenge.
The Japanese threat of agg}ession
into Manchuria was only backed by a
small minority and could have been|
héld in check if outside support had
been given to the moderates.__Mr.
Swing believes a joint naval display
by England and the United States
would have been sufficient. If war had
followed, it would only have been a
naval war, unaccompanied by bom
ing of civilians.
Sir John Simon, then Foreign Sec-
retary, was too much in sympathy
with Japanese expansionists to order
such a step. David Lloyd George, said
Swing, phrased the criticism
neatly when he said, “Sir John Simon
has been sitting on the fence so long,
that the iron has entered into his
soul.”

member of the League, made it pos-

No General War
Music Room, Oct. 27.—We_ in
America must forget about Europe
for at least five days a week, and
work to creaté here a stronghold for
liberty and the arts. Mrs. Manning,
speaking in Chapel on America and
Europe, offered premises for ier point
gf view, which She admitted were con-
troversial and* may be disproved
within a few months.
The liberal Eurepe of the nine-
teenth century, she concluded, to
which we have turned so hopefully
and with such a romantic feeling of
nostalgia for the last half century,

and with increasing . strength : since
1918, is dead. The important question:
for us is not, “What are we going to
do about Europe?” but “How far are
we going to make the United States
take the place of Europe-in the cul-
tural development of mankind?”
There will be, she thinks, no gen-
eral European war; democracy in
Europe will continue its rapid decline;
the United States is genuinely threat-
ened by Japan in the Philippines and
by Germany in South America. From
these premises she concluded that we
must arm, not yielding to Germany
and Japan as have France and Eng-
land, but that we must. prepare our-
selves for peace, not war.
Above all, we must stop turning
always and only to Europe for art,
and looking back to Washington and
Jefferson in our government. We must
concentrate on the defense of. our
ideas of what civilization should be.

Merion Terrified in Hallowe’en Mystery

This year, following a 21-year-old
tradition, the Merion seniors again

League Budget Planned
to Include Six Groups
| Board Anxious to Obtain $1500 in
Pledges This Week
(Especially contributed by Martha
' Van Hoesen, ’39)
From Monday tL Thursday this
week the Bryn Mawr League is con-
ducting a drive in which it hopes to
raise $1500. This is a large “enough
amount so that everyone who con-
tributes should ask in a critical frame
of mind what it is going for.
The League Board allocates” the)
largest sum for the children’s camp
which raises a large part of its own
funds, but still will need about $1200
more. This last summer twelve Bryn
Mawr students. were given the op-
portunity of working at the camp.
Most of the other groups have not,
in the past, been given a definite
and planned part of the budget, and
naturally there is no need of includ-
ing them all. Blind: school, for in-
stance, gives experience to a larger
number of students than any other of
the committees that do social work,
but it does not appear to need finan-
cial help. On the other hand, the board
felt that any committee which could,
with more money, bring. its work to
a higher standard should take a very
real part in the planning and carry-
ing out of the financial prografh. The
Maids’ and Porters’ classes have been
allowed fifty dollars for the Christmas
dance, part of the expenses of the
play, and a small speakers fund if the
members wish-to hear about subjects
of special interest. The Industrial |
Group wishes to increase the breadth‘
and variety of its Discussion by in-
viting Alumnae of the Summer School
and some of the members of the Ken-
sington Y. W. C. A. as. well as an
‘outside speaker. For this we allow
thirty dollars. The Haverford Com-
munity -Center committee requests
twenty dollars for — for
groups at the center.
In the hope of broadening the won
of the League to some,degree, the
board has set-aside seventy-five dol-
lars to send some members to ob-
Conferences and possibly to bring a

Speak on Europe
Common Room,- Oct. 31: In a meet-
‘ing focused on Central Europe, the
International Relations Club heard
the opinions of Mr. Miller, of ‘ the
Sociology Department, and Mr. Wells
of the Politics Department, on the
racial and economie factors in the
present situation. $
Mr. Miller based his discussion on
the question of whether or not the
present situation in Central Europe
could be solved on the grounds of na-
tionality. In answering this question
in the negative, Mr. Miller gave as
his chief reason the fact that the lack
of racial borderlines presents an in-
surmountable obstacle in the solutiond
nineteen nationalities in. Central Eu-
‘rope, extending from the Baltic to the
Mediterranean, divided before the war
between the empires of Germany,
Austria-Hungary, Russia and Tur-
key. A nationality, Mr. Miller pointed
out, is a group of people that belongs
together by reason of its own history
and language. It is held together by
the patriotic belief that it has a right
to its own. self-respect.

Mr: Alfred Salmony will give two
illustrated lectures at the Deanery
this menth:.one tonight and one No-
vember 30. It will be his first appear-

bronzes. He intends to devote one
lecture to each.
A pupil and friend of Mr. Ernst

One-Act Plays Use

Well Directed Casts Give
“The Devil On Stilts,”’
**The Great Dark”
The Players’ Club Friday night pro-
duction of , he two one-act plays was -
most fittingly a success, emphasizing
as it did this year’s exciting atmos-
phere of fruitful experimentation.
The music supplied in the intermis-
sion by “Miss. Rice and Quartet” was
a pleasant surprise feature of ‘the
entertainment.
Since the proceeds of the evening
were to go to the Theater. Workshop,
the kind of plays given and the kind.
of production given them was appro- —
priate. It is to work on and to give
plays in just this way that the Work-
sshop is wanted.
The plays were certainly not great
drama, and there was a minimum of
costuming and stage setting, but the
acting was unusually good. The
Players’ Club has a real actress. in
Caroline Garnett, who played Mrs.
O’Keefe in Don Totheroh’s The Great
Dark. Her acting is not only serious,
but mature. Sarah Meigs in the little
part of Mrs. Ryan was, as usual,
good. The leads in The Great. Dark
were well handled by Eleanor Emery
as Mrs. Garcia and Helen Sobol as
Orna. :
The hardest single part of the eve-
ning was played by Virginia Nichols
as Glenda Craig in The Devil on
Stilts. Lines like “You ‘can’t expect
to inspire a book and not be in it” can
either get a tremendous laugh or none.
Virginia Nichols got her laughs.
The adjective most. frequently ap-
plied to The Great Dark by under-
graduates is the word stark. The.
scene opens at the “mouth of a mine-
shaft, where there has been a cave-in.
The wives of the men are waiting for
the rescue party to break through to
their husbands. The plot is supplied
by-a bitter quarrel between Mrs. Gar-
cia, wife of one of the trapped men,
and Orna, his ‘mistress. The two
women, suddenly indifferent, go off to-
gether to lay out the corpse, Mrs.
Garcia seeing the hand of God in her
husband’s death, and Orna accepting
it as the only possible solution of the
problem.
Scenery in this play consisted of a
row saw horses, marking off the
mine shaft, a blue back drop, and a
kind of draped box on which various
actors could sit. Since The Devil on
Stilts, by Clements and Ryerson, is
set in a living room, the scenery per-
force was slightly more complicated,
or rather the properties were more

Peace With Honor
In America we are far enough from European ‘affairs to pass
‘judgment on them, and far enough to hope, as Mrs. Manning hopes,
that because we ‘are as yet. unmenaced. we can become a stronghold of
democracy and culture, We are encouraged to take such an attitude by
great refugees like Thomas Mann and Edouard Benes who come to,
America as the land of freedom. But it is easy to preserve our integ-
rity before it has been tested and to believe in an ideal which is still
unthreatened. What we must do besides is to create a point of view
that will stand under threat, and this is difficult because it must be
entirely theoretical.
In the last crisis, Europeans had to roe a choice between the
demoralization of war and the demoralization of peace, or a physical
evil and a spiritual evil. They were faced with such an antithesis be-
cause there were no alternatives and because the situation had swept
ahead of them before they could make the issue anything other than
‘that: of war against peace. But America is far enough ahead of such
a situation to see that there are different kinds of peace, and to: choose
between them; in America it is not too late, as it is in Europe, to say,
“We must have’ peace with honor.”
If we shun the idea of ever having to solve Duvope' s moral prob-
lem for ourselves, we must decide now what we mean by peace with
honor. If we could agree on what sacrifices we would not make for
peace, we would know immediately when to oppose such sacrifice.
Without a definite standard we will find ourselves before we know it
involved in the same hopeless chain of wrong-minded concessions that
made for the disintegration of European morple.
Merion Scare
We are astonished by the reign of terror that has been going on,in,
Merion, and we.do not hesitate to observe to its inhabitants both that
they are childish and that they are wounding their own sensibilities.
What in the world is wrong. with our education when ‘a hall full of
_ students.can believe that an army of Martians has come down in rocket
ships.to bomb the earth, or what is wrong with Merion if nobody else
‘in thé-college’believes it? But ds if this were not enough to show the
4 Merionites that they are extremely gullible and susceptible to hysterics,
they lost no time in preparing-for another emotional orgy. “Et. tu,
Brute,” they may well say to each other.
Our sense of humor refuses to function at. the thought of a gory
person screaming and frightening people out of their wits, even if it is
Hallowe'en... It remirids us too much of the horrid cadaver stories we
used to hear, where youths’ hair turned white over night and the
youths came out of the room gibbering idiots. We never laughed ‘at
such things and it did no good to be told they were just stories. As
for the co-operation of the infirmary in Merion’s merry prank, we can
only think that it was rooting for business.
We would be interested in knowing what college opinion is about
-- the nature of a practical joke. -We think it would be a good deal
- funnier if fire buckets full of water were poured on the heads of the
Merionites every third Hallowe’en. We ure not suggesting this as an
a ve;.we-merely.say_that_we.would much rather be thoroughly.
i on raed annoyed than thoroughly dry and terrified. Tf Merion must

“Inside stories,” * said Raymond
Gram Swing in an interview for the
News on October 27, “are usually dull
and: usually untrue. Nine times out
of ten they don’t fit with what’s actu-
ally. happening. But in a crisis, when
the actual events are perplexing,
when there are many internal con-
flicts, we have got to look behind the
scenes to know what is happening.”
This statement was made in an-
swering the question: “What are
fyour soufces of information?” Mr.
Swing went on to say that he got most
of his information through informal
contacts with ‘innumerable people
“who handle the events.” These in-
clude newspaper editors and journal-
civil. service and government
‘officials. For instance, he picked up
as a rumor in Prague Bonnet’s threat
to Czechosolovakia. This was sub-
stantiated by Hugh Dalton’s speech in
parliament, which, in turn, was based
on the memorandum of R. W. Seton-
Watson, who is Masaryk professor of
Central European History in the Uni-
versity of London.
During a crisis, newspapers cannot
publish accusations of men in Bon-
net’s ‘position, particularly because
they cannot find reliable sources who
are willing to be quoted. Of Cham-
befTain’s ‘“‘off-the-record”. speech on
May 15, the New York Times, whose
reporter was present, was only able
to print, “We have it from usually
reliable sources that Chamberlain is
in favor of German annexation of the
Sudetenland.” Naturally this report
was put down as plain rumor by
most readers.
Mr. Swing further emphasized the
point made in his lecture that his
was a policy of submission to bully-
ing.. “This sets the course for the
future and eliminates any further
hope for justice.” If judged by its
results, he continued, the policy has
weakened the prestige of the two
countries to the éRtent that France
is becoming a second Netherlands.
“Why,” he asked, “should she vol-
untarily give up her place as a first
class power, a course obviously not in
her own interest?”
Mr. Swing’s cdreer as a foreign
journalist began in 1918, when he
went to Berlin for the Chicago Daily
News. From here he covered the cen-
tral European side of the war. Be-

THEATRE REVIEW"
When we of the editorial staff of
the College News undertake theater
reviews, we are not unaware that
most of our subscribers have already
‘read criticisms in the Times and the
Tribune—not to mention the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. The thought hardly
inspires confidenée. In attempting
now to discuss Abe Lincoln in Illinois
our position is particularly precarious;
having failed to. ever get beyond the
roto-gravure section in last Sunday’s
paper we are unable to check up our
own ideas with those of more distin-
guished theater-goers. We did, how-
ever, preserve the program notes of
the second Friday concert, and shall
therefore not write a review at all, but
rather specilate on a sentence of Mr.
Cecil Gray:
“In these days of tynicism and dis-
illusion it is; of coursétethe fashion
to sneer at the convention of the
‘happy ending’ of which the orthodox
symphonic Finale is the musical
equivalent, and it is certainly true
most modern attempts to conform to
it ring hollow and insincere.”
In a world such as ours, it cannot
be easy to write plays or music that.
seem hopeful’ or positive and still
ring true. This is the miracle of Mr.
Sherwood’s play: it is significant, it -
is real and while the phrase “happy
ending” may not- seem to apply to
Lincoin’s farewell speech, the play
itself does not: preach dispair. — It
would be difficult to find another’ sub-
ject so perfectly fitted to the needs
of the moment. Here is a man torn
between the principle of democracy
and the principle of a respect for
human life, If the speeches quoted by ©
Mr. Sherwood had been written yes-
terday, they could not express more
directly the feelings of people . who
read the paper or listen to the radio
in the present world.
But even Lincoln could not avoid
war, nor worse, the terrible conse-
quences of war. What sort of hope,
then, can this play bring us? The-
figure of hincoln himself, recreated
by Robert Sherwood and Raymond
Massey—so htmmanly shabby, tor-
mented and uncertain, and yet so
much larger than man in mind and
spirit—still seems to inspire confi-
dence. The words he finds to say
seem somehow right. As Mr. Choate
once said,
“It was marvellous to see how this
untutored man, by mere self-disci-
pline and the chastening of his own
spirit; had outgrown all meretricious
arts and. found his way to the gran-
deur and strength of absolute sim-
plicity.”
And too, without wanting to seem
nationalistic in.a world all too rife
with nationalities, it is of some satis-
faction to think that the formation
of Lincoln is a phenomenen belong-
ing particularly to our own country.
We sometimes puzzle over the mean-
ing of the word American. Does it
mean:
Loud speeches on radios?
Mothers’ Day?
Big Business?
The American Legion?
The Almighty Dollar?
Big words?
Righteous indignation?
What is there for us to point to as
“typically American” and still want
as typically American. I think and
hope this play will answer the ques-
tion. Faces in the audience seemed
less stupid when they left the theater
than .when they had come’ in. di

tenor.

‘*Reality”’ is the Theme
of Weiss’ s New Book
Dr. Nécihcep of Yale Calls\It
“Brilliant and Original”
Professor Paul Weiss, of Bryn
Mawr, has just had his book, Reality,
published by the Princeton University
Press. F. S.’C. Northrop, of Yale
University, has written an excellent
review of this book which we quote|*
below in full.
“This is a brilliantly original, sys-
tematic work in the grand tradition.
Philosophy here reassumes its, posi-
tion as man’s highest achie¥ement
and as a basic framework, taking all
being and knowledge for its province
and attempting to provide a place
for every face and mode of action.
“Reality is the first system of
philosophy in recent times to take in-
dividuals, instead of events, as the
basic ‘elements of the universe. It
demonstrates the necessary. existence
of a world’ of multiple persisting in-
dividuals, explaining in terms of them
the necessity for and the nature of
space, time, causation and_ value.
Without loss to their heterogeneity
and independence it relates the or-
“fanic and inorganic, the mystic and
rational, the necessary and contingent
by means of a single principle, and
envisages all the diverse modes of
knowledge and inquiry as so ‘many
different exemplifications of a single,
fundamental category. The persistence
of self-identity through change, the
problems. of ‘motion and growth, of
memory and’, speculation, of ‘science
and art are here given new, revolu-
tionary interpretations and offered as
consonant with the needs of reflective
thought and the daily experience of
every man. It reconciles the existence
of organisms with atoms, laws with
novelties, is alive to the nature of
modern mathematics and symbolic
logic and yet emphasizes the im-
portance of putting philosophy into
practise. The author calls his view
Epochalism, urging the fact -that

sible to enact sanctions—a measure
which, had it been available, -would
have quashed Japanese aims at the
start. Public opinién rose rapidly, but
again a government “condoner of ag-
gression” appeared. France was then
in the process of negotiating a pact
with Italy, and Pierre Laval, say-
iig that “Ethiopia is not worth a
European war,” had practically given
Mussolini a free hand before the
actual aggression took place.
Sir Samuel-Heare, British Foreign
Secretary, played a similar part, said
Mr. Swing. In a “rafter-ringing”
public speech . to the, League he de-
manded that justice be upheld. The|‘
day before in a private conference,
he and Laval had agreed that “noth-
ing should be done\which might lead
to war,” and this word was-relayed
to Italy. When oil sanctions were
proposed, Mussolini, sure of his bluff,
declared. that he would fight if this
stép was taken. Resistance collapsed)
and though the later Hoare-Laval
plan was vigorously rejected, Musso-
lini got his way in the end.
The: Spanish crisis brought to a
conclusion Britain’s attempts to sup-
port justice through the League. In-
stead a new policy“crystallized: the
adjustment of the wrongs of Ver-
sailles by agreement. Meanwhile, said
Continue@ on rage Five
novelty is itself. a novelty and that
the laws governing any era are them-
selves subject to changes which are
intelligibly connected with those which
prevailed before.
“The work is written in the form
of two books organically — related,
presupposing and justifying one an-
other. Each part, however, is freshly
oriented and either can be read before
the, other. Moderns will be more in-
clined to follow the present order;
those sympathetic with Greek thought
will perhaps prefer to begin with the
second book.”
tCONCOURS ORATOIRE
SET FOR NOVEMBER 15
CONCOURS ORATOIRE -
The annual Concours Oratoire for
a medal awarded by the Comité
France-Amérique- will be held in
Wyndham on. Tuesday, November 15.
Mademoiselle Brée will be in charge
of the concours for 1988 and the.
French Department announces the

dergraduate students, whether in. the
French Department or not, and to all
graduate students who received the
A.B. degree in 1938.
2) The discowrs. shall’ be not nie.
than ten and not more
minutes in length. (Spea
but brief notes may be referre& to if
necessary. It is understood that
competitors—shallhave no advance
criticism’ of their speech and no
coaching.
3) Each competitor shall give her
discours at a concours préliminaire,
to be held on November 10, before the

even though they must do it in
French., The winning discours, will be
forwarded to Paris: and the Comité
France-Amérique reserves’ the right
to publish it.

Incredible though it may seem, Mer-

of a fire of its own earlier in the eve-
ning. Four cardboard «jack o’lan-
terns were left over from the: hall
dance the night before, and a few
sprightly souls had put lighted can-
dles in them and hung them around
the hall. The one in the smoking
room suddenly caught on fire, and the
shade over a bulb was completely de-
stroyed.- Papers in the waste paper
basket began to burn, and because
every one loves a conflagration, all
miscellaneous magazines (even a few
»/rarely used fiotebooks) were thrown
in. When the curtains, were about
to be threatened the blaze was put
out with a liberal dose from the fire
extinguisher, and as a result, -the
smoking room was; filled with a thick
and evil haze.
The unsuspecting junior, filled with
incendiary thoughts, ‘sniffed and an-
nounced in ‘terror that the end of the

sophomores who had been enjoying a
quiet cigarette, lept from ~ their
chairs. “Come,” cried ‘the junior.|

Pale and wide-eyed, they crouched on

was happening; they noticed she was
dead white and in a bad way.
“Don’t be afraid,” implored a hys-
terical junior: “Bryn Mawr will rise
to the occasion.” ;
She was, of course, ignored. Smoke
was still noticeable on the first floor,
and, according to the radio, hundrefls
nf people lay dead. Sevéral girls had
brought Princeton men to the halk

tracks between Philadelphia and
Princeton were torn up, they sat with

Merion’s pride was partly saved by
a very practical junior who, hearing
faint moans, had come to find out
what all the fuss was about. She was
told the grim facts and was, for a

Miss de Laguna Tells
« of. Alaskan Expedition
Discovers Origin ‘of Two. Lamps
Found on South Coast
¢
' In a recent interview Miss “de
Laguna, lecturer on anthropology, told
of her expeditions to Cook Inlet, on
.the southern Alaskan coast, and to the
Yukon valley. She was sent by the
Museum of the University of Penn-
sylvania principally to discover the
origin of two early lamps which had
been found in lakes near the Cook
Inlet region.
Miss de tenune’ succeeded in finding
a lamp similar 6. the two at ‘the
Museum and, using this proof, built
up a theory connecting the Salish
Indians, of southern British Colum-
bia and the northern part af Washing-
ton, with the whole~of the southern
Alaskan coast. This piecing together
of clues is not unlike detective work,
Miss de Laguna ‘poirited out. In fact
her expeditions to Cook Inlet produced
a detective story, The Arrow Points to
Murder, as well as. two »-detailed
studies of the inhabitants and their
anthropological history.
On the first trip Miss de Laguna
was accompanied solely by her brother,
then a student at Haverford. They
went, by boat along the inland route
-of Alaska up to the neighborhood of
Mt. Fairweather.. Here they swung
out to the opén sea as far up as-the
Kayak Islands, where the Russians
under Berging first saw Alaska. Of
this part of the trip Miss de Laguna
could only say, “The mountains are
lovely, but don’t try crabs and ice
cream sodas as I did one rough day.”
On this same trip she and. her
brother: explored the Prince William
Sound in a small skiff (one of the
native chiefs they met here appears
. as the old Eskimo chief in the murder
story and is the only life-drawn char-
acter). Later they visited the mouth
of the Copper river, the home of the
Eyak Indians.
Miss de Laguna -and her brother
then. went north by railroad to
Anchorage and spent some time ex-
ploring the upper part of the Knik
Arm river. When her brother had re-
turned to college, Miss de Laguna ob-
tained a guide and a gas boat and
made her way down the river to
Kachemak Bay in Cook Inlet, having
to fight tides, often 40 to 50 feet high,
and storms the whole distance.
, --Miss-de Laguna-found her two most
valuable sites around this bay, one on
the north shore, Yukon Island, and
one on the south, Cottonwood Creek.
They proved so good that she re-
“turned to both the following year and
to Yukon Island in 1982.
In her work here she found layers
of ‘shell heaps showing that three
separate stages of civilization (Kache-
mak one, two and three) existed
among the Eskimos. The earliest was
probably in B. C. and the last about
a 1000 years ago. At the Cottonwood
Creek side she found layers of lignite
~ rock and coal dust proving the early
- use of this substance by the Eskimos.
(Aside from the prehistoric Hopi In-
dians these Eskimos were the only

early people known to have used coal
in North America).
It was at these sites that she found
a lamp similar to the two in the
Museum of the University of Penn-
sylvania. These early lamps were
carved out of igneous rock and had
on the inside the figure of a man’s
ead. ‘I'.e Eskimos of Alaska carve
almost always on ivory, while the |
Eyak Indians and the Tlingit Indians,
whose influence is seen in many other
customs of the Cook Inlet Eskimos,
work with mortar and not stone. The
only people, outside of the Kachemak
three dwellers who, did carve similar
lamps, differing only in minor details,
were the Salish Indians.
From this Miss de Laguna inferred
that the latter must have extended
their influence at some time over this
southern coast and from them the
Eskimos must have learned the art,
of lamp-making in which they soon|
developed their own particular char-
acteristics. Another fact substantiat-
ing this theory was the similarity in
the methods of burial among the
Salish Indians and the Eskimos. As
all the evidence of this influence is
found in the Kachemak, three period,
Miss de Laguna suggests that it was
at' this time that Salish culture
spread, just before these Indians. chad
attained their highest stage of devel-
opment.
In 1933 Miss de Laguna returned
with Kaj Berket- Smith to study the
Eyak Indians. During this year they
collected the material for their book,

Indians of Copper River Alaska, and

the influence of the Tlingit Indians

organization.

Miss de Laguna was accompanied by
a geologist, Mr. Eardley. They took
the train north to Nanana on the
Tanana and then went down this river
to the Yukon’ on flat bottom boats.
They followed the Yukon down to its

Japan would side against Russia. It

the first ‘map of the Khotol river;
branching off of the -Yukon, and
also discovered some pottery 600
miles further up the river than had
ever been found before. : This pottery
in recoration and shape proved very
similar to that of the Asian penin-

made during the last ice age when

Japan might well be precipitated by
such, a war, in which all these powers
would wear themselves out.
The decline of democracy in Europe
will be due to the. impossibility of

any but issues of foreign policy.
There the only alternative to the

Anglo-Russian alliance, would be both
unpopular with the British and really

CURRENT EVENTS
(Gleaned from Mr. Fenwick)
Common Room, Novemver 1.—The
elections which will occur this week
and next week are of interest mainly
from the party gains which will in-
« fluence” the 1940 National elections.
There are three important party
groups in-the contest this fall: the
New Deal Democrats, the anti-New
Deal Democrats, and the united Re-
publicans. The‘ return of the G;0.:P.

ing districts. What have they to gain
by a change of administration to a
party which in the past has shown
little interest in the rehabilitation of
these same districts?
Mr.. Roosevelt’s speech in Washing-
ton last week denounced the ejection
of the Jews from several European
The President said that
there can be no peace in Europe if
there are to be people wandering
about the world with no homes. Poland
has started a severe anti-Semitic
drive. “Mussolini is licking his chops,”
said Mr. Fenwick, “and is thinking
that all the high professional posi-
tions which are now held by Jews in
Italy, could be held by Italians if the
Jews were to be evicted.”
Hitler is unable to understand the
attitude of our State Department.
Mr. Roosevelt, inf his note to Ger-
many on September 27, said that that
if Der Fuhrer would prevent an im-
mediate war in Europe, his action
would be an “outstanding historic
service to humanity.” Mr. Kennedy,
the American Ambassador in Eng-
land, in a_ speech in. Trafalgar
Square, said. that we must learn to
_ live in a world with dictatorships. All
of this sounded like an American ap-
proval of Hitler. Now Roosevelt has
shown a disapproval of Hitler in his
speech against anti-Semitism.
' The United States, at the instiga-
of China, did not apply the
Neutrality Act at the beginning of
the Chino-Japanese war in 1937. The
technical reason given for this action
was that Japan had not actually
declared the existence of a state of
war. Japan has now seized Canton
and Hankow and has possession of
the Chinese sea coast and sea ports.
There are only overland routes from
western. China open to Chiang-Kai-
Shek for his war supplies. The Chin-
ese leader has pushed his capitol from
Hankow further up the Yangtze
River, and says that he can continue
the war for two more years. If, how-
ever, China should officially declare
war on Japan, the United States
would be forced to apply the Neutral-
ity Act. Japan would then be placed
on the “cash and carry” basis of |.
trade with the United States, and
China would benefit. :
R. G. Swing Condemns
Anglo-French Policy
Continued from Page Three
Mr. Swing, Germany tore up both
the Versailles and Locarno treaties,
rearmed and occupied the Rhineland,
and seized Austria.”
In May, 1937; Germany decided to
annex the Sudeten area but was
balked by complete Czech mobiliza-
tion on the frontiers. Determined to
prevent another such check, Hitler
called up the entire German army,
including reserves. England and
France immediately pressed rearma-)
ment and began lining up Turkey and
Rumania as allies, thus killing any
German idea of getting control of the
Rumanian oil and wheat fields. Poland
and Hungary were: pe ded’ to re-
main neutral.
“But Germany,” “pemea dite. Mr.
~ Swing, has powerful friends in Eng-
land,.. and. France.” Lady. . Astor’s|}.
“Chiveden: set” {san informal group:
of “justice through agreement” sup-
porters, though its influence and
coherence are often exaggerated. Of
much greater significance was an off-
the-record speech by Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain on May 15—be-
fore the necessities of the crisis could
have influenced him. He declared him-
self personally in favor of German
annexation of the Sudeten aréa.
Also in. May, Georges Bonnet,
French Foreign Secretary, said that
France would not go to war. To in-
sure this statement, he described, at
the London conference’ which : drew
up the Anglo-French plan, the ex-
treme weakness of the French air
force and the impregnability of the
Siegfried line. This, charged Mr.
Swing, was a deliberate falsification
of the official military report, which
had stressed the fact that the French
army was at the peak of its strength
and could break through the German
fortifications at will.
Bonnet did not stop at this. When
the Anglo-French. proposals were
sent to Czechoslovakia, he informed
Benes that if they were not accepted,
France would hold Czechoslovakia
the guilty, party, and her obligations
would be void. This message was un-
authorized by the Cabinet as a whole,
but when Benes tried to verify the
threat through Daladier, his code
letter was “delayed in the mails.” He
was therefore forced to act without
confirmation of the French govern-
ment’s stand. Concluded Mr. Swing:
“Bonnet’s zeal for ‘peace by agree-
ment’ passed all bounds, to say the
least.”
In describing one state of public
opinion, Mr. Swing said, “We ‘must
not mistake the attitude of the
English and French people for that
of their rulers. Nothing can _ be
imagined’ to surpass the spirit of the
people during the few days of the
crisis.” While naturally fearful of the
suffering a war would cause, they
were not afraid of war itself, but
rather accepted it with resignation
as something which had to be done.
A final great effort for peace was
made in late September at the Lon-
don conference. If in May England
and France had. stated and stood by
the proposals they now made, Ger-
many would have drawn back and the
Czechs would have agreed to some
cantonization plan. There would have
been. no cession.
The Anglo-French program, drawn
up in London, was a true negotia-
tion, Mr. Swing -believes. Though
Germany was given the Sudetenland,
occupation was not to be completed
for several months, during which
time an_ international
would draw up defensible boundaries,
,}and Czechoslovakia would be allowed
to remove the complex fortifications
of her “Little Maginot line.” All re-
sulting Balkan frontiers were to be
guaranteed by Great Britain<
_At Godesburg Hitler //suddenly

BOOK: REVIEW.
Lycanthrope:. the Mystery of Sir
William Wolf
by EDEN PHILPOTTS
It would have been much more ap-
propriate if Eden Philpotts had called
his new mystery The Puppy of the
Baskervilles, instead of so grandiosely
naming it Lycanthrope, or the Mystery
of Sir William Wolf. For, consciously
or unconsciously, the book owes much,
if not everything, to Conan Doyle’s
earlier classic. It reproduces the
central situation of the family curse
and the hunted nobleman almost ex-
actly. It also utilizes many of , the
Doyle props: treacherous relations,
horrible cries on the moor, mysterious
paw-marks, haunted heirs and antique
prophecies. In fact, its only essential
difference from its famous prototype
lies in its emphasis on lycanthropy.
Lycanthropy_is_ordinarily—a—recog-
nized disease which gives its victim
an insane conviction that he is turn-
ing into an animal. But it is also the
name given to the actual transforma-
tion of a human being into a were-
wolf. “Young Sir William Wolf was
obsessed with. the idea, not only that
he was to be finafly hunted down by
one of .these creatures, but that he
himself-was fated to become one.
All this is told in a lush purple
style, thickly embroidered with
clichés and contrasting badly with
the stolid, fagtual English that does
so much to Reh sity the horor of the
The Hound of the Baskervilles.. The
detective who unravels the mystery
also can hardly compare to Sherlock
Holmes. He is a conventional, rather
characterless figures, who _ searcely
appears until the last few chapters
of the book. /-

aged to create about his whole Avork
a very creditable atmosphere of/gloom,

real reason, Mr./ Swing’ believes, was
that Hitler’s main object had always
been to destréy Czechoslovakia as an
independent// military and _ political
power. Thé’ Anglo-French plan would
have prevented this.

Empire until the World War, from the
_ | German point of view: Every effort
was made to assimilate Czech culture
and to bring the Czechs under Ger-
man subjection. The result of this
coercion has been to bind them, more
closely together in their religious
devotion to Czech language and his-
tory. After the war, when the state
of Czechoslovakia was created, the
situation was reversed. The Germans
in Bohemia became the victims of
Czech oppression, despite the efforts
of President Masaryk to create a
racial | equality.
This racial equality, Mr. Miller con-
tinued, cannot be achieved unless the
ruling nationality allows the culture
of the minority to exist unmolested.
‘The moment coercion is used, as it is
being used in the German annexation
of the Sudetenland, resistance must,
of necessity, result.
Mr. Wells, discussing the economic
side of the problem, outlined the in-
creasing control by Germany of the
raw materials of Central and South-
ern Europe. This, control, necessary
for the success of Germany’s plan of
self-sufficiency, is “being obtained in
two ways. Since the Versailles Treaty
so completely disrupted her economic
life, Germany has looked toward an-
nexation and barter as the only means
by which She can regain her pre-war
prosperity.
The/annexation of Austria brought
valuable iron ore deposits, which
offset the loss of Lorraine, as well
as -a half a billion marks in assets.

money, but rather the exchange of

This situation, concluded Mr. Wells,
is a desperate one, but would not be ~
entirely hopeless if Germany’s pres-
ent war economy could be coriverted
into a peace economy. If this transi-
tion, necessarily a slow one, could be
effected, an outlet might be found for
the international division of labour
which is so acutely needed in Central
Europe today.

” Graduate N ews
(By V. Peterson, Correspondent)
“Have you a blue bathrobe; does a
devil costume have to have horns; do
you have a record of Stardust?”
shrieked certain partially demented
‘graduate students, forsaking cloister-
ed intellectuality for Hallowe’én, and
descending upon unsuspecting under-
graduates with the. fiendish gleam of
experienced scavenger hunters. Not a

graduates searching for red _ hair
demolishéd the peace Sunday -évening,
October 30, during the hunt that fol-
lowed their Hallowe’en picnic at
Saunder’s Barn.
‘The trek to the Barn began early
in the evening, led by Betty Edrop,
social head of Radnor Hall. Supper
was held around the open ‘hearth
there, and the Virginia Reel was
danced in the barnyard by the light of
the Harvest moon with music by
Arroyo and Chu, accordion-harmonic
team extraordinaire.
Returning to the campus, the party
made itself felt as an unsubtle but
effective pressure-group on the un-
dergraduate halls, and in notable in-
stances, on Faculty Row. At 9 o’clock
the groups returned to present their
loot to Elizabeth Mears, chairman of
the hunt. The victory hinged on the
blacknéss° of a pair of black silk
stockings, and following the decision
that they were a little too gray to be
black, the prize went to Arsenia Ar-
royo’s energetic team, with Edith

Anglo-French Policy
Condemned by Swing

time.” He gave three ‘reasons why:
(1) immediate, rapid occupation was
forestalled; (2) the new ‘frontier
would be fixed by an international
commission, not by a defiant map;
(3) after the passions of the crisis
had subsided, plebiscites, similar to
those in the Saar, would be held in
disputed areas.
If we check these contentions
aganist the Godesburg ultimatum,
said Mr. Swing, it is difficult to see
much improvement. (1) Hitler could
not have completed an orderly occupa-
tion of the Sudetenland in less‘ than
the ten days given him at Munich.
2) The international commission,
coniposed only of the British, French
‘wnd Czech ambassador's, was a sham.
In its meetings, “Hitler dictated,
Czechoslovakia submitted, while Eng-
land and France agreed.” There was
a rule in force that in any irrecon-
cilable conflict between Gerpany and
the Czechs, the German view* should
rule. (3) The proposed plebiscites
were so much of a farce that in the
end even Germany agreed to omit
them. A plebescite on the Saar inci-
dent meant giving the vote only to
twenty-year’ residents. In 1918 the
Sudeten area still i to Ger-
many.
“What chance ‘is there for the
Europe of the future,” asked Mr.
Swing, if such negotiations form the
moral basis of its diplomacy? There
are two possibilities: continued sham
resistance ahd final submission to
Hitler, until he has seized everything
in Europe which he wants; of war
with a Germany who now has greater

fortifications, additional recruiting
grounds and access to Rumanian oil
and wheat fields.
Chamberlain and Bonnet: optimis-
tically trust that, through attempts
on the Ukraine, Germany will become
involved with Russia in. a “‘fight to
the death.” “But war with Russia is
not more than barely possible,” said
Mr. Swing, adding that it was “far
more likely that Bismarck’s old scheme
of Russo-German alliance would be
carried out, since the ideologies of
the two. countries are not so different.
“If Hitler is only interested in the
east, why did he intercede in Spain
at all?” Mr. Swing. pointed out that at
present Germany controls harbors
and positions which could seriously
threaten British naval power. “If
there is to be no expansion in the
west,” he stated, “you will see the
proof in the failure of Germany and
Italy to have any influence in the
new Spain.” —
A’ foothold in Portugal and Spain
is necessary if Hitler wishes to
penetrate, either ideologically or with
foreign trade, into the South Amer-
ican republics. For the benefit of
those who depend on Mein Kampf as
a statement of objectives, Mr. Swing
pointed out that although Hitler
mentions the Ukraine, he also wants
influence in South America. Moreover,
he characterizes France as “the im-
placable foe.”
Chamberlain’s fundamental error is
his failure to realize that, even
figuratively, “Hitler is not just a
Birmingham business man.“ Nation-
al Socialism is rather, Mr. Swing
believes, an expanding economy. It
refuses to apply the technique of
military and political expansion to the
development of national prosperity,
because it believes the latter
makes citizens degenerate.
In introducing his final prediction,
Mr. Swing declared that “we cannot
think clearly about Europe’s future,
if we insist on thinking its present
political forms are permanent. Czecho-
slovakia, Hungary, and all eastern
Europe will'soon be swept by Fascism.
But more important than these is the
danger of Fascism in France.” The
financial distress there, which has
been increased by rearmament and
mobilization, practically destroys any

The play itself concerns Glenda

ing her capital at home unless she
applies exchange control. This step,
if it is taken, will signify the be-
ginning of totalitarian economy.
In Britain, the same course will
be followed. Here-Mr. Swing gavé an-
other test prediction: “If I am wrong,
you will: see it in the signing of wide
trade agreements with the United
States in the near future. If they are
not signed, you will know that Britain
has turned further toward totalitarian
economy than ever before.”
