Original and Almost
Wild Plot for Show
‘Characters From All Epochs
Emote Against Background
_ of the Crusade
STRANGE POSTERS ADD
~ AN AIR OF MYSTERY
The Freshman Show,” “Asleep aa
Better to Be That Way, has been born
of a class struggle. The Class of 1971"
was split into two almost equal parts
mainly on the question of whether or
not the’ play should be about college.
The majority opinion was against any
reference. to .college whatsoever, in
spite of 17 sophomores who appeared
at class meeting in time to vote for
college material. The factions are now
partially resolved and at work on the
writing and prdduction of a, highly
original and, from all accounts, almost
wild plot.
No one seems to know definitely who
the author is, Ann Harrington, Chair-
man of the general committee, says
about 200 people have worked on the
lines. It is based on the argument be-
tween Richard the Lion-hearted and
Philip Augustus, on King Arthur and
Frederick Barbarossa, Mrs. Roosevelt,
Berengaria and Eleanor of Aquitaine;
but all the characters are fictitious.
‘The play consists of two acts and aaa
scenes during two days in Paléstine
on a ‘Crusade. Berengaria and Eleanor
become blasé about the Crusade, the
erisis hinges on a ping pong ball, and
someone at some. pointin the play is
heard to roar: “Holy Grail!”
The cast has evidently been deter-
mined with one eye to appropriateness
and the other to incongruity; as Rose-
mary Sprague, who is actually de-
scended from Eleanore of Aquitaine,
plays that part and Ernestine Gallucci
is playing Berengaria because’ she
played Uriah Heep in school.
The News considers the best recom-
mendation of the show to be the pos-
ters, done by Jane Harper and her
committee. Jane herself did the cow,
the lion, and the voleano posters. The
music committee, headed by Helen
McIntosh, has been at-work on two
original songs, and composing new
words to songs recruited from football
seasons, camp life, the Follies, and
Gilbert and Sullivan. The dance com-
mittee, headed by Alice Lee, has so far
done its work in deepest secrecy.
Frances Levison and Eileen Durning
who are, respectively, Business Man-
ager and Stage Manager are quoted
as saying, independently, “It’s a hell
of a job.”
a Speaks ‘
At Peace Conference
Talks on Pacifistic Organizations
On Bryn Mawr Campus
On January 21, Louise Morley, ’40,
_|president of the International Rela-
tions Club and of the Peace Council,
made a speech at the National Con-
ference on the Cause and Cure of War
which was held in Washington. Her
speech was entitled A College Woman
Mawr: the International ‘Relations
Club, the Peace Council, and the Bryn
Mawr delegation which is going to
represent Russia in the Model League
of Nations Assembly at Rutgers on
April seventh, eighth, and ninth. Ex-
cerpts from the speech follow:
“The International: Relations Club
at Bryn Mawr is only one of those in
many colleges that owe a great debt
of gratitude to the Carnegie Endow-
ment for International Peace. Not
only does. this organization supply
books and bibliographies and a fort-
nightly summary of important world
eyents, but it also holds annual re-
gional conferences for the various
clubs in a district.
“The annual Model League of Na-
tions Assembly, held under the aus-
pices of the League of Nations Asso-
ciation, brings students of various
colleges together, but in a somewhat
different atmosphere. In these model
assemblies, the different colleges in a
region represent the various nations
in the League of Nations. Weeks of
preparation bring delegates together,
each well up to date on his nation’s
foreign policy and also prepared to
attempt to reach some agreement with
other national delegates on three
major issues before the real League
of Nations. , There are ‘generally six
members to a delegation, two to work
on each of the three commissions that
discuss the problems before the As-
sembly. Plenary sessions which open
and close the Assembly follow closely
the procedure of the League of Na-
tions Assembly, but just as at the
League itself, it is in Commissions
that the real work is done. Here,
after discussions and debates from
the various national points of view,
concrete proposals for presentation
to the whole model assembly are drawn
up. ;
“International Clubs and the vari-
ous branches of the American. Student
Union, provide a means of activity
‘for those whose interests are actively
aroused, The problem of arousing
the latent interests of other students
is more complicated, and we have
found that the best means of doing

Miss Lake Criticizes
-Midwinter Lantern
Thinks Summer School Work
Out of Place Where Style
Is Emphasized
EDITORIAL AND POETRY
- OF H. CORNER LAUDED
(Especially contributed by Miss
Agnes K. Lake.)
The mid-winter issue of the Lantern
is opened by an editorial on Education
in Philadelphia which seems admirable
in its common .sense. How adequately
the measures proposed would meet the
situation I am in no position to judge;
‘but that there is serious need of action
is obvious. It is pleasant to see the
Editors taking an interest. in- local
problems as well as in the more dra-
matic . catastrophes of the world- at-
large. ;:
Elsewhere the Editors have not been
quite so’ successful. The Theatre’ Re-
view, Susan and Jupiter’s Miracle,
seems like the result of an illspent
week-end, topped off by an indigestible
dinner. , It is an attempt to blend
Susan and God, Father Malachy’s
Miracle, and Amphitryon in a tech-
nique perhaps inspired by the Bryn
Mawr production of Hamlet. The re-
sult fails becausé if lacks the wit
which, on the basis of past experience,
we are justified in expecting from the
authors.
There is little point in reviewing
book reviews, but does not a new book
by a scholar like Mr. Chew deserve
something better in the way of criti-
cism than a glorified table of contents *
No attempt has been made to evaluate
the contribution of The Crescent and
The Rose. J. G. has done a more useful
piece of work in trying to estimate the
significance of Robert Browning and
Julia ‘Wedgwood. In Aldous Huxley’s
Ends and Means, 0. Sheep seems, not
unnaturally, a little out of her depth.
Miss Nichols’ sketch, Cross’ Town, is
a clever piece of writing. She has suc-
ceeded in giving us a full length por-
trait of Mr. Kingsbye, although she
has‘limited herself to his 20 minutes
at a news reel. Practice will eliminate
the technical faults in her style, which
come from a tendency to be over-
explicit, too great a dependence on: the
use of adverbs to point the meaning
which should be implicit in)the verb
and a habit of stating wha has al-
ready been implied.
Miss Calkins. (who usually spells
her name without the “u’) in We
Hated Her, tells us an anecdote of
childhood in Italy which is going to
stay in my mind “for a long time. The
helplessness of children in the face of
their peculiar terrors is described with
complete understanding and no over-
statement: Only the very end. seems
somehow not to ring true. Ginny’s
words have a stilted sound which is
not.characteristieof Miss Calkins’
style. I imagine that the half dozen
mistakes in the Italian phrases can
be blamed on the proof-reading rather
than on the author,
- Miss Kirk’s amiable little picture of
domestic poisoning suffers by contrast
with the other contributions. Sad re-
flection as it’ may bé’ on “the human
race, the subject is hackneyed and thv
treatment is not original. Some of the
phrases are vivid, but the style is
marred by the inaccurate use of words.
“Socketed,”: for example, is not a
synonym for, “embedded,” and, to be

Big Majority Approves

Comprehensive reading. Catching up
on regular reading, papers and quizzes
and examinations occupied a large
part of the time for most.
The questions asked were: “Did you
spend most of the reading period
studying at home or elsewhere? Did
you-spend most or all of the time on
quizzes, On €xaminations, or on papers?
Did you waste the entire reading pe-
riod? Do you feel that it was valuable
for whatever reason?”
About a quarter of the 77 seniors
questioned were away from college

Two seniors
stated that they wasted most of the
period. One of these, and two others,
thought the time was not valuable for
any reason; a brave four said not
enough was assigned, and many
recommended that the period be later.
The consensus of opitien.. was that
the time was valuable for catching up,
coordinating, and at least getting
some idea of what should be done for
the remainder of the year. Twenty-
seven of the seniors spent at least part
of the time preparing ..for current
quizzes and examinations, while 22
were writing papers or honors reports

this means that only 17 of the class
spent most of the time doing assigned

||E. Fabyan Speaks
On Experiences
In Peiping Siege
After Capture of City, Press
Stifled, Chinese Welfare
Work : Stopped
JAPANESE ATTITUDE TO
FOREIGNERS CHANGED
Common Room, February 1.—“I
don’t think I ever dare go to China
again,” said Miss Eleanor Fabyan,
’°36, speaking on her experiences of
last summer during the taking _of
Peiping. Miss Fabyan, who was in
China as secretary to Owen Lattimore,
editor of Pacific Affairs, suggested
that her, presence in China always
seemed to bear a distinct relationship
to an immediate outbreak of whence
wherever she happens to be. She ar-
rived in Mukden on September’ 18,
1931, and the same night Manchuria
was taken by.the Japanese. On her
second visit to China, she was’in Peip-
ing during the siege and capture of
the city.
Explaining that American’ news-
papers carried more exact reports of
the war than could be obtained in
China last summer, Miss Fabyan de-
clared that she would confine her
talk chiefly to. personal reminiscences.
She said that her first knowledge of
the fighting came in the early morning
of July 8, when her amah heard the
distant sound>of guns. This noise
continued and grew louder and
louder until some 20 days later, when
the fighting was right outside the
gates of Peiping, and there were
planes flying over the city every few
minutes. All foreign citizens were
ordered into the foreign quarter. Miss
Fabyan received the notice one morn-
ing to move into the international con-
cession by noon thé same day, bring-
ing as little luggage as possible. In
spite of the fact that the embassies
were crowded and people were living
in tents inside the foreign quarter,
and also in spite of confusion and ex-
citement, there was not much fear
that the Japanese would bomb Peip-
ing. The reason for this is that
everyone knew the city was easy to
take, and would ‘not be able to resist
long. It is not in a very strategic
position, and is a very ancient and
beautiful city which the Japanese
would probably hope to exploit as a
tourist center. The only danger was

that the Japanese troops might run -

schools which will disqualify their
pupils from eligibility for scholarships
to first-rate colleges.
As a result of depreciation in real
estate values the schools are facing a
deficit of from six to seven million
dollars. This will undoubtedly in-
crease because, of a recent State Su-
preme Court ruling that the Board of
Education cannot raise the taxes on

can be levied, however, there is no

The Peace Council Constitution
The Peace Council is in the process of discussing and voting upon
a constitution drawr.up by Sylvia: Wright, Peggy La Foy, and Marion
Greenbaum. is makes clear the aims*of the Council, and the pro-
cedure by which its business is to:be carried on, When. it is adopted,
it will no longer be necessary for every activity of the Council to be
approved by the College at large, and-the Council will be authorized to
undertake: definite action whenever majority opinion in the College
supports its convictions. §§ <—~--~~ |
Article I reads The aim of the Peace Cowneil shall be to sponsor an
educational campaign on world affairs, with special reference to pre-|-
serving peace. The Peace Council shall take action on these matters,
but must be supported by a majority opinion of the College in taking
action on controversial matters. The Council has approved this article,
with the suggestion that the aim of coordinating the peace programs of
other college-organizations be-added. Action in these matters is not
defined or limited. We understand that it shall be taken to mean not
only the sponsoring of educational programs and peace day rallies, but
also shall cover participation by the members of the Peace Council in
_ general peace niovements and other off-campus events. Because of the
importance that action in off-campus or public events~may assume,
especially if it is taken in the name of the College, the Peace Council
has. provided in this constitution that Controversial matters of policy,
which involve taking action, or which involve a commitment of opinion
by thé Peace Council shall be decided by a vote of the College. * The
Peace Council shall first vote whether the matter should be brought
before the. College, then a general college vote shall be taken, and the
Peace Council shall act in accordance with the vote. Thus, the College
as a whole shall be able to have a voice in any action or opinion which
the Peace Council defines as controversial while in minor matters of
business the Peace Council authorizes itself to make decisions. The
ich various organi-
zations shall elect members, provides fos open meetlags which may be}
attended by all students interested in its business, declares that all
decisions’shall be posted on the Peace Council bulletin board in Taylor,
and provides for a special committee to be in charge of off-campus
business.
The advantage of this constitution is that it insures that all organi-
zations shall be aflequately represented on the Peace Council, and that
it lays down definite rules of procedure in minor matters of business.
But it does not seem to us to have eliminated the’major stumbling block
in the way of all action by the Peace Council, which is that agtion
“cannot even be planned until the whole College has answere ques-
tionnaire on the subject. This was the m LOL ce Council
in its pre-constitution days whenever a controversial matter of action
or policy came up, such as the sponsoring of a Japanese boycott. This
must still be its method on every question of importance, unless it should
fall into the even more unfortunate habit of deciding on these questions
independently, seizing on the technicality in the proposed Article XI
number one which allows the Council, to vote .as.to whether the matter
should be brought before the College.
stands is not a democratie-décument, while proporting to be representa-
‘tive of the whole College, because, it ‘can be adopted by the Peace
Council alone, and it can, by virtue of a rather obvious loop-hole,
determine and carry out action in which the College shall have no
voice. To be sure, it is modelled on the lines of all representative gov-
ernments, but representative governments are not democratic in the
“primary sense of the word, and.in this small community it would be
possible to deyise a system which more — Spproacnes the ideal, such
athe referendum system. ,.
_ We propose that the Peace Council \constitution be iaiaiad 4 to

versial matters, and shall authorize the Couneil alone to decide on these

In short, the constitution, as it
fe aytem an action | sh
which the students wish to oppose can be opposed; the students them-
selves may decide what are controversial matters, and the Council may
always expect their action, if any, to go into effect after a definite
period of time.
There also ought to be a provision in the constitution for the Peace
‘Council to raise funds, either through its own organization, or with the
aid.of.the Undergraduate Association. A great deal of the success of
the’ movement on this campus, we feel; will dépend on the kind. of

to pay the fees of these speakers by itself. --Part of its funds should also
be available for the use of the students who. represent the Council in off-

In order that the College in general should approve the aims 5 and

adopts, and in order that they should also approve its fingncial policy,
we suggest that all students be allowed to sit in on the Peace Council’s

politely. 3

entered a large, bare, sunny room at
the front of the house. He poised

This year in Italy is proving to be
better than I had imagined even in my
wildest dreams. Perugia was wonder-
ful and Florence is unbelievably beau-
tiful and pleasant. Everyone here is
so anxious that we have a good time
and ‘get the fullest benefit out of our
stay that we are sometimes over-
whelmed by their kindriess. But’ we
are getting used to that: What I shall
never get used, to, no matter how long
I remain here, is seeing, actually see-
ing, all the artreasures I have heard
of all my life. At first I ran about
like a chicken without its head, first
looking at one thing, then catching a
glimpse of another, then another, and
not being able to decide which to look
at first, trying to look at them all and
getting nowhere as a result. The first
few -weeks here, we walked ourselves
to death, morning and, afternoon, going
through churche# and museums at a
mad pace. However, we have now be-
come more ‘composed and go about our
, visiting in an organized, collected
manner. Our only difficulty is choos-
ing which place to see next. This
morning we went to the Biblioteca
Laurenziana, and though fhany of the
rooms are closed to visitors, we never-
theless did examine the manuscripts
in the Museo della Miniatura. Those
books are the most beautiful ones I
have ever seen. We visited again the
chureh of San Lorenzo, one of my
favorite ones, architecturally if not
pictorially. But you probably know all
these places so well, that there is no
point in my describing them to you,
and as for expressing my sentiments
about them—I become so excited every
time I begin to think of me in Florence
that I become even less coherent than
usual.
Our regular courses at the Univer-
sity began about three weeks ago, and
we certainly were glad to dive into
some thinking matter again. wo
months of grammar ‘and composition
had told on us and our minds had be-
come stagnant; but now that we have}
a few inspiring professors to urge us
on, we are waking up a bit. We have
six professors, four of them wonder-
ful, particularly Professor Casella, the
literature teacher. He began his course
in such an interesting way, working
on one general idea and making us
provide the details. Besides numerous
estimable qualities, he has an excellent
sense of humor; so that even though
we don’t always understand what he
is driving at, we can always tangh
at it. .
The philosophy saibaiii Lamanna,
is a funny littf€ man with beautiful
hands and a great mop of kinky black
hair. He ties himself up in knots be-
‘fore speaking, his face contorts, his
hands clutch the air, his eyes take on
an agonized look and we all sit per-
fectly still, holding+ our breaths, ex-
pecting some deep, complicated phil-
osophic thought to burst out in con-
fused and obscure phrases. But no, he
merely states some clear, logical fact,
such as there is no liberty, that man-
kind is enslaved by its own stupidity.
Then he relaxes, his face smooths out,
his eyes smile, and he begins all over
again’ as we lean back, exhausted. He
is an excellent teacher though, clear
and logical as one could be.‘

erals, also bewhiskered, come “to visit

On New Labor Laws
Continued from Fage One
C. I. O. wants all the legislation it
can get, William Green has suggested
that flat rates be set up and enforced
by the Department of Justice. Miss
Fairchild said, “The Department’ of
Justice knows nothing, as compared
with the Department of Labor.”
“The situation in Pennsylvania’ is
optimistic” as far as unemployment
compensation is concerned. At pres-
ent, eligibility for compensation is
concerned. After a year during which
the subject is employed 13 weeks,
compensation consists of a minimum
of seven and a half per cent and a
maximum of fifteen per cent of the
average wage in the industry. Hand
in hand with this is a two and seven-
tenths per cent payroll tax. If more
benefits are wanted, the pay roll tax
will have to be raised. .The next 30
years will be years of: political foot-
ball between the Republicans and the
Democrats as to the basis on which
compensation bénefits will be obtained.
Miss Fairchild spoke also of the
terms of workman’s compensaton, of
the law forbidding home work, and of
the unemployment compensation paid
for unemployment due to strikes. She
said: “The difficulties in Pennsylvania
are concerned with the problems of
who is to enforce the laws, and of
the recognition of the necessity of
skill in enforcing them.”

CATHERINE J. RICHARDS. *
Individual, unaccountable, aristo-
crat among autobuses and.one of the
last salons of the century, the Diz-
neuf weaves daily back and forth
across the Seine, tracing its devious
route from the’ Bois de Boulougne to
the Porte de Vincennes. It waits for
no man; instead we are generally
obliged to wait for it much longer
than we would like. Frequently, title-
number tilted, it lumbers over the
horizon like‘a. huge drunken monster,
as often as not, in a rush hour, and
rolls deliberately past the bus-stop,
flicking its rear-card complet in our
faces. <
But, as with a well-known and ven-
erable citizen, in view of its distinc-
tion, one can forgive its eccentricities;
and the Dix-neuf presents a most va-
ried and highly selective: section of
Paris, Its route is laid out as follows:
after rounding the Place du Trocadéro,
it stretches out along the Avenue
Président Wilson, characterized by
rows of trees, private houses, and _pri-
vate schools; it follows the Seine past
the Tuileries, past the Orangerie,
where large art collections are pre-
sented, crosses the Seine at Solférino
and goes up the Boulevard St. Ger-
main, slicing directly, through the old,
aristocratic Faubourg St. Germain,
the artistic quarter centered around
the Ecole deS Beaux-Arts, and the stu-
dent quarter which surrounds the Sor-
bonne; and it passes close by the Lux-
embourg, reserved for senators, chil-
dren and donkeys.
So, if you catch the bus in the early
morning, you will hear students tell
each other stories in student dialect,
incomprehensible to foreigners. School-
children will sometimes recite the
day’s lesson to their now nous, any-
thing from Napoleon to the Saintes
Ecritures. A little later in the day, a
senator or two may settle in a quiet
spot to whisper importantly or exam-

Louise Morley Speaks
: At Peace Conference
Continued from Page One
ae
this is through a Peace Council which
represents all student organizations
on campus, including publications.
With limited funds the Council at-
tempts to bring to the college speakers
on the.problems perplexing the world.
The day this year that is set aside
for student ‘peace demonstrations all
over the country is April 27.
“The Peace Council, which we con-
sider a really representative body on
campus, is in general convinced, how-
ever, of one thing about student opin-
ion on peace, and student comprehen-
sion of peace problems. _It is never
fully or really: expressed either in
organizations or in publie discussion
meetings. The fullest and most com-
plete discussions-of current problems |:
take place at the so-called ‘bull ses-
esting problem, will perch in cushioned
luxury on first class seats. Meanwhile
the bus-eonductor paces up and down
the center aisle, witty, officious, affable
and authoritative, like a “grande
dame” of the past century, who, while
proud: to occasion the union of such a
diversity of intellects, remains dis-
creetly outside of the conversation.
‘And yet there are those who regret
the old, pre-Exposition era, when the
Dix-neuf was still a trolley, and in
contrast to all other Paris traffic, kept
reselutely to the left side of the street;
when M, André Chéron complained of
draughts all the way to the Palais du
Sénat; when the conducting-rod fell at
every turning. One wonders, after all,
is progress so desirable?
M. O.
(Note: The conducting-rod never
fell, it jumped off. There is nothing

sions’ in recreation or ‘smoking rooms
within the dormitories or in students’
rooms themselves. At Bryn’ Mawr,
where the Peace Council is only a year
old and therefore feels it necessary to
get the support of the whole campus
back of its activities, our major at-
tempt:has béen to arouse everyone’s
latent interest in peace by stimulating
these discussions. Our first. attempt
took place last spring. when we dis-
tributed the World Youth Congress
Committee’s peace ballots to everyone
on campus. The fact that. there were
many qualified replies to the questions
on disarmament, collective security or
isolation, and national policy in case
of war or threat of war abroad,
proved without doubt that students
had, given these problems a lot of
thought and had profited from. the
discussions. ~
“Even more conclusive results were
had this December, when a forum
meeting which presented four phases
and attitudes on the Japanese boycott
was followed by a ballot which at-
tempted to poll student and faculty
opinion on this issue. The first year
economics class had a special class on
it. A discussion of the issues in-
volved by two professors of opposing
points of view replaced the current
events lecture just preceding the ex-
amination period. I believe it can be
said with certainty that the majority
of students now recognize, as inherent
in a boycott of Japanese goods, prob-
lems which affect all industry, par-
ticularly the hosiery—industry, as well
as international problems.. That a
great many people recognized these
problems came out in the ‘Further
views or’ comments’ requested on the
boycott ballot form. —
“There are, I believe, really encour-
aging factors in the attitudes of stu-
dents on peace. The fact that a large
majority of students are not organ-
ized into groups of common opinion,
and that their attitudes have not been
mobilized dnd unified, is primarily
the result. of the belief that we have
come to college to learn and study, to
haye an opportunity to think and dis-
cuss, not merely in classes or organ-
ized groups. On.a campus where the
pressure of academic work is large
and social activities frequent, organ-
izations must exist primarily to create
a stimulus for discussion and to pro-
vide a means for those who have an
interest in the field of peace activity
to work.
“After attending the World Youth:
Congress in Geneva duging the sum-
mer of 1936, where representatives of
the youth of 36 countries discussed
the political, social, phif6sophic and
economic bases of peace, I feel that
students with an active: desire to pre-
vent war ought not to permit the aca-
demic attitude of thought and discus-
sion to be their only peace activity.
There is am essential need for peace
education. In facing the extremely
vital and current fear of war and de-
sire for peace, it is essential that the
students already actively. interested
participate and help where they can
in peace education in the country. be-
fore it is too late. Students all over
the country are doing this, primarily
on college campuses, where most of
their time and energy must be spent.
The Student Peace Service sends units
of four students eack, out to help
organize peace councils and commit-
tees in outlying districts. It is dur-
ing the summer months that the ac-
tual student. has most free time for
peace activities that are both an edu-
cation to himself and to others. The
fundamental and well-organized desire
for peace is growing rapidly and en-
couragingly in the nation. Virtually
every student revolts at the thought
of war and, if given the time and op-
portunity, is, in my opinion, ready and .
willing to cooperate in helping to
eradicate the causes of war and ‘solve
the problems of peace.”

1000 Tobacco Farmers
Bank on His Judgment
John L. Pinnix— Independent Ware-

experts who prefer Luckies...
N THE warehouses Mr. Pinnix has managed in
Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina,
46,000,000 pounds of tobacco have been sold. Farmers
travel many miles to bring their crops to Mr. Pinnix’s
warehouse for sale. Reason is that they respect his
tobacco experience and business integrity. So surely
Mr. Pinnix’s views are worth your respect, too.
“At every | market I’ve ever attended,” says Mr.
-Pinhix, “Lucky Strike has bought the
ripest, mellowést tobacco offered.
That’s why I’ve smoked Luckies ever
since, I first became a warehouseman
20 years ago:”
Mr. Pinnix’s statement is borne out
by sworn records which show that,
among independent tobacco experts
—auctioneers, buyers, and ware-

twice as many exclusive smok-
ers as have all the other
cigarettes combined.

pedantic, a “round lozenge” is a con-
tradiction in terms. The secret of the
modern writers on whom Miss Kirk
has apparently modelled her work is
not the substitution of an uncommon
synonym for a common word, but the
sharper definition of ‘perception by an4
increased accuracy of vocabulary.
At the risk of being misunderstood,
I must ‘say that I think it was a mis-
take to include in the Lantern the
items which were reprinted from the
Summer School magazine. The Edi-
tors should beware of the very common
mistake of allowing their social con-
science to influence their literary judg-
ment. A Day at Libby-Owens-Ford
and A Calart Day are interesting
sociological documents; but from a
purely technical point of view they are
poorly written, and it seems to me un-
fair to the Summer School writers to
have invited odious comparison by put-
ting them between two poems by Miss
Corner. I appreciate the Editors’ in-
tention but I fear that they have de-
feated it by their lack of judgment.
There are better ways than this of
rousing people’s interest in the Sum-
mer School. —
Miss Corner has" again given the
subscribers to the Lantern the rare
pleasure of reading a new piece of
genuine poetry. She has already a
mastery of word and phrase which
lifts her above the level of mere verse.
Her poems, expressing thought as well
as emotion, repay, indeed demand, sev-
eral readings if we are to grasp their
full meaning; buf she makes. things
easier for us by the “intended crafts-
manship” with which she chooses her
words and the simplicity with which
she constructs her poems. I suspect
that the real reason for her excellence
is that she knows exactly* what she is
trying to say and is not struggling
with a half-formed idea. Epistle is
probably the best of the three in this
issue, although personally I should
have liked it even better if the last
section had been kept. as a separate
piece. It introduces a less abstract
element which Is something of an anti-
climax. The last poem, which the edi-
tors have seen fit: to deny the dignity
of ‘a title, shows her ability to handle
rhythm. * My only criticism of her work
is that she uses too much punctuation,
betraying an unjustified lack of self-
confidence. The better the writing, the
less punctuation it needs.
The Editors seem to me to be keep-
ing the Lantern up-to the high stand-
ards of their immediate predecessors.
It is a pleasure to review work to
which one can pay the compliment of
real criticism.

wild after capturing the city, or that
retiring Chinese troops might cause
looting or street fighting.
The lack of tension in the atmos-
phere, Miss Fabyan said, was best
illustrated by the attitude of the
United States Marines, when they
‘were-ordered to put up tents for thé
American refugees. “We’ve been here
since 1900, ” was the general response,
“and this is the first thing we’ve been
able to do.” Miss Fabyan was not
compelled to live in a tent, because
she received permission to stay.at the
house of.a-friend living within the
quarter. Little incidents in the set-
tlement caused excitement almost
every day. An example of this was
when six Marines defended the Amer-
ican Water Gate from a Japanese
battalion which was probably only
curious and not at all conscious of
trespassing. The capture of the city
was directed by Colonel Matsui, who
lived in the house next to the one at
which Miss Fabyan stayed. The pres-
ence of Japanese. as well as other
foreigners in the international settle-
ments of large Chinese’ cities, espe-
many complicated situations through-
out the war, since the Japanese al-
most always directed the attack from
the settlements. Colonel Matsui’s
house was always guarded by heavily
armed troops on the grounds and on
the roof. Across the street was the
Japanese-owned ex-Austrian legation
where camped Peiping’s 300 Korean
citizens, many of whom had been
maintained in the Chinese. city by the
Japanese to do espionage work and
drug trading. ’
At the beginning of the war, the
attitude of the Japanese to the for-
eigners was “we are protecting you
from the. Boxer hordes.” They
seized on any incident which could be
interpreted to show that the Chinese
were the real enemieg-of the coves.
ans -and Americans, An example
cited by Miss Fabyan was the incident
of the accidental shooting of an
American Marine by a Chinese, caus-
ing only a minor wound. The Japan-
ese soldiers killed the Chinese, and
then sent a delegation to the American
Embassy to explain that they were
protecting the Americans. Later the
Japanese attitude toward foreigners
changed sharply, and pamphlets

promising that the Japanese would
rid China of the “yellow-haired, green-

mainly outside one of the southern
gates. Most of the casualties were on
the Chinese side, and could have been
avoided if the army had not futilely
‘resisted the attack. General Sung
Cheh-yuan was. responsible for the
misunderstanding which led to this
mistake, because he made up his mind
to retreat so suddenly that he had
left the city before most of his soldiers
knew it. Peiping and North China in
general was at first inclined to blame
the Nanking government for lack of
support. There is much the same
feeling of distrust in China between
the agrarian North and the industrial
South as there is in this country, for
example, between the agrarian West
land the industrial East, Miss Fabyan
feels, however, that facts have proved
cooperation between the Nanking gov-
ernment and Northern cities was im-
practicable for two reasons: Nanking
the Northern provinces completely,
and Sung Cheh-yuan had previously
not been backed up by Nanking in his
1933, and so did not believe in their
promises of support. Thus, the gov-
ernment had to ask the permission of
Sung before it could send additional
troops, and Sung declined its help.
Newspapers were almost completely
stifled as soon as the Japanese were in’
control of the city, and the foreigners

sympathies. Every hospital in Peip-
ing was commandeered by the Chinese
during the fighting for the wounded,
and there was a serious lack of sup-
plies. The Japanese army stopped
welfare work by the Chinese, and for-
eigners in the international settle-
ment began to make bandages, pa-
jamas, sheets, and blankets. After
about six weeks the hospitals were
well supplied. The argument of. the
Japanese in forbidding the Chinese
to help their own wounded was that
they should be so grateful to the
benevolent conquerers in freeing them
from the dominance of the southern
government that they should be will-
ing to let the rebels die. With every
city the Japanese took, they forced
official rejoicing by the citizens of
Peiping. First they sent up a balloon

ing the Peiping siege, Miss Fabyan
mentioned briefly some of the chief
episodes leading to the present war.
The Japanese have held Manehuria
since 1931, she said, at the point“of
the bayonet. According to Japanese
themselves it is unsafe to travel more
than five miles beyond the railroads
there. Since the Tangku: Truce in
May, 1988, a strip of territory in
North China has been the basis for
continued Japanese aggression in
China.. The Tangku Truce provided
for a “demilitarized zone” in eastern
Hopei. . In December, 1935, Japan de-
clared the Anti-Communistic? Au-
tonomy Government of East Hopei
under Yin Jukeng, a Japanese puppet.
Anti-Japanese feeling grew increas-
ingly strong in-Northern and Western
China‘in animosity to the compromis-
ing attitude of the Nanking govern-
ment. Rebellion against this attitude
was summarized in the Sian incident
of 1936 when the Tung-pei army sent
out against the Chinese red army re-|-
volted, causing the “kidnapping” ‘or
forcible detention of Chiang-Kai-shek.
This episode prevented the continu-
ance of the ruinous civil war which had
been waged for 10 years and changed
the Generalissmo’s attitude and policy
toward Japan. At the present mo-
ment, Miss Fabyan féels, China is
quite unified against the aggressor.
There is a possibility that the war,
which threatens to be long and drawn
out, will exhaust Japan. Japan is
real wealth of China comes from the
interior, and she sees that she will
have to penetrate into the center of
the country. Miss Fabyan feels
strongly the moral responsibility of
the democratic Western nations to op-
pose the imperialistic policy of Japan.
She is convinced that England and
the United States could not easily

Speaks on ‘Publicity”
Stresses Wide Opportunities for
Women im This Field
Common Room, February 7.—Mrs.
Kimbrough Wrench, speaking on
Publicity at a tea»given by the’ Vo-’
cational. Guidance Committee, empha-
sized the wide opportunities for
women in thts field. Almost all pro-
‘|ducts, even automobiles, are now ad-
vertised primarily to attract women
buyers. Therefore, women are par-
ticularly valuable in “styling, ” and as
a rule, Mrs. Wrench believess they are
better at the publicity business than
men. The field is as vet uncrowded.
“Secretarial and journalistic train-
ing is not necessary to enable one to
get into advertising,” said Mrs.
Wrench, though she admitted that
many disagreed with her on this point.
She: believes that a good college edu-
cation should be’ quite adequate.
“Also, those who take writing and sec-
retarial courses are apt to be fixed
permanently in these particular jobs
and never get into publicity work at
all.
She advocated department-store
work as the best starting point. From
a beginning as a selling clerk, one
may work into the advertising end.
Department'sstore , publicity affords
an excellent varied training, and may
be a stepping stone to a higher paid
advertising job in some special field.

they should exert other political and

of the Nanking Government, the-n:
of Peking (“Northern Capital”) was

Anderson and F enwick Battle Japan
Boycott Issue In Common Room De Debate
Peace Council Ballot
Results In Even Vote
Various Solutions Suggested for Far
Eastern. Crisis
“With comments ranging from: “a
direct and effective plan” to “damned
foolishness,” the results of the Peace
Council poll on the Japanese boycott
exactly tied. The final count revealed
that 128 students voted for the boycott
and 128 against it. Of the 36 faculty
members voting, 24 favored boycotting
Japanese goods; while 11 were op-
posed. Although the majority of bal-
lots were returned without comment,
46 students stated why they favored
the boycott and 44 gave reasons for
voting no. ~~
Students opposing the boycott were
more explicit in their comments than
those in favor of it. The most prom-
inent.. views claimed a boycott of
Japanese goods would be unfair to
American business, arouse? personal
-prejudice, hurt the Japanese people
and not their government,. and _ in-
crease Japanese aggressiveness. Fur-
thermore, they felt it would not get to
the root of the trouble.
Several of the conditions on the yes
ballots were similar to the arguments
of the opposition. A number of stu-
dents stated they would support. the
boycott if American labor were pro-
tected. Two voted yes, providing the
manufacturers were not harmed, Many
favored the boycott if it could be made
effective.
Among those voting mo, several
feared becoming more intimately en-,
tangled in the Far Eastern crisis, pos-
sibly inviting war. It was felt that
diplomatic relations could become so
strained as to do us a great deal of
harm. Some believed it was a nation-
alistic action, a attempt that never
works unless well organized, and one
which “students don’t understand.”
Others laconically stated the boycott
was “economically unsound,” “infan-
tile,” “impossible,” “useless,” and “in-
effective.”
Both sides had specific reeommenda-
tions to make. Several of those voting
no advocated anternational action.
Two people “favored action by the
United States Government. Other sug-
gestions were:,a government embargo,
a naval blockade with England, and
one opponent demanded that the
United States send the fleet.
A government boycott was the most
prevalent suggestion in the Yes group.
However, a number of students desired
an embargo in conjunction with it.
One answer recommended a special
peace conference following the end of
the war which was anticipated as the
result of the boycott. Two answers
demanded proper and adequate pub-
licity ‘to expand the boycott idea.
‘Many emphasized that the boycott
should be a complete one; while sev-
eral favored a personal rather than a
government project.
Other varying opinions among those
condoning a boycott were that it should
be.effected.cooperatively.among democ-
racies; that a government attempt
would be effective but Bryn Mawr
should not adopt the cause lest it dam-
age the reputation of the College; and
that we should not boycott silk stock-

them. One felt it should be carried
on in conjunction with denouncing

Economic Blockade Will Height-

Wars,. Says Anderson
BACKS PEN Y FOR
INTERNATIO AL CRIME
~ Common Room, January ths —In the
debate sponsored by the International
Relations Club on the advisability of a
Japanese boycott, general agreement
was reached on one point: That a state
of world disorder exists now and must
be stopped, and that some community
of international interest is necessary
to restore order.
“A boycott,” said Mr. Karl Ander-
son of the Department of Economics,
“goes in the wrong direction.” Granted
that we could enforce it effectively
and possibly stop this war, in the long
run our boycott would vastly increase
friction, and “a regularized system of
interngtional law can never be born
from such a situation.” If temporary
expedients to stop particular wars are
necessary, Mr, Anderson believes that
a show of military force endangers the
final hope of international amity less
than a boycott.
Mr. Charles Fenwick, of the Depart- |'
ment of Politics, leading the pro-boy-
cott, favors economic sanctions as the
best method of enforcing international.
law. He believes that all particular
violations of treaties, such as Japan’s
present invasion of China, must be
immediately punished, just as-all indi-
vidual. lawbreakers are punished for
domestic crimes. In the meantime, we
must also try to deal with the perma-
nent causes of international crime:
In discussing the basic causes of the
Japanese aggressions, Mr. Anderson
pointed out that Japan has a popula-
tion almost equal to the United States.
Her territory, from the standpoint of
its ability to yield a livelihood, is about
equal to Vermont. A large part of the
land is economically useless. Japan
has no iron; no.water power, and few
minerals, either an trade ¢ or domestic
use.”
Great Britain, in much the same sit-
uation in the eighteenth and’ nine-
teenth centuries, saved herself by a
vast expansion’ of international. trade.
In 1800, not more than five million
selves in England. Now, her popula-
tion of 30 million has a standard of
living only second to the United States.
As fast as Japan has tried to éxpand
her trade, those parts of the world
where she might do business have been
closed to her by tariffs. Unable to live
in their Vermont, some of the many
Japanese have tried to move. Emigra-
tion laws were passed against them in
this country and in South America.
The great Japanese population can-
not live-#t home, nor can it spill over.
It is not surprising then that a mili-
tary party, backing conquest as the
only way out, has grown increasingly
popular. The war of aggression is not
being foisted upon the passive, igno-.
rant.masses by a few selfishly ambi-
tious military dictators. If anything
will serve to make these masses even
more desperate and more ready to back
war, it is an additional “economic
squeeze”’ such as the proposed boycott.
“The definitive lesson in the econom-
ics of isolation is the case of Ger-
many,” saidMr. Anderson. During
the war, an extremely effective block-
ade was maintained. The result: A
| determined unification of the German
people against the rest of the world,
and, after the war, a hostile and em-
bittered.nation. As the hope of recov-
ery was continually closed to post-war
Germany by trade barriers and severe
reparations, the people became—more,
desperate, and by direct cause and
effect, the present aggressive dictator-
ship came into. power.

national disorder is not anything as

simple as a boycott. The most definite
suggestion which Mr. Anderson could
make was to expand as far as possible
the program now being backed by Mr.
Hull. The way out is not in “a hand-
off policy, but in a long-run, difficult,
hands-on policy.”
In his pro-boycott discussion of the
Japanese situation, Mr. Fenwick stated
two fundamental beliefs which both he
and Mr. Anderson hold: That the
United States has a vital interest in
upholding international law and order,
and that the sanctity of: treaty obliga-
tions should be maintained. _Economic
cooperation is the most efficient way to
establish and preserve permanently
peaceful world relationships.
There’ is. a close analogy between |:
domestic and international crime. In,
either case, peace requires the mainte-
nance of the existing syste gainst
violence, and the supporting of “jus-
tice.” “That is, neither in our indi-
vidual nations, nor in their relatio
with one another, should we allow too
much inequality to exist. An excess of
poverty or an oe of
wealth will encourage crime; the rich
will prey on the poor and the poqr
will attempt to steal from the rich.
But we should not stress the mainte-
nance of order by violence—that was
»the mistake in 1918. We should work
for disarmament, but should approach
the problem as an economic one rather
‘than as a military or naval one.
Japan has offended in several ways.
She has committed a crime against
international morality; she has vio-
lated-a treaty purposing to help con-
ditions in the Far East, a treaty which
was ‘arranged for her own best inter-
ests; and she is hurting herself in her
relations with other world powers.
Action should have been taken, said
Mr. Fenwick, when Japan first vio-
lated the Nine-Power Treaty by enter-
ing Manchuria’in 1931. This move-
ment was an international crime and
should have .been punished, as_ it
could have been, with proper economic
cooperation. That the alleged Japan-
ese need of more territory is'greatly
exaggerated is evidenced by the fact
that the Japanese are not using Man-
churia to any advantage. There has
been some internal development in the
territory, but none that has been really
profitable. The Lytton report, which
was made with the greatest possible
care, proves that every possible benefit
the Japanese could gain by force in
China they could get without force.
Mr. Fenwick thinks the ideal course
of action would have involved a gov-
ernmgnt “baycott, put into force last
July, in which the United States,
Great Britain, Holland, and Scandi-
navia should have cooperated. These
governments should have cut off all
trade with Japan on the basis that she
had broken a treaty; such a boycott
would have brought the country to its
knees-in-six-months.To boyeott-would
have the double“advantage of avoiding
all danger of war, danger which we
would certainly be courting.if we sent
the fleet into action against such a
militaristic nation, and of teaching the
world that it is possible to stop war
without war.
But, with the government unwilling
to take such positive action, is it worth
while for individuals to boycott Jap-
anese goods? Mr. Fenwick thinks it is.
At present, a large majority of Amer-
ican people are indifferent to what is
going on in thé Far East; but public
feeling could easily be aroused if
enough energetic exponents of the boy-
cott. set to work. And if no other result
were accomplished, it\would at least
teach Congress that pkople do think
and care, and that we are no longer
isolated from the world and indifferent
to crime. Moreover, it would convince
the people of Japan that Americans
are opposed to their crime. Sooner or
later this conflict must be stopped; it
already too late to save Shanghai and
Nanking, but perhaps we can prevent
some of the waste which will be in-
evitable if
surely will unless some intervention is
; wr
made, for five or ten more years. Beyn Me

Urged at League Tea
Prominent Activities Reviewed
and Advocated by Speakers
Kraus, Dinsmore, Frank
Common Room, Thursday, February
38.—A tea for all the students, par-
ticularly freshmen, was held by the
Bryn Mawr League. . Attributing a
“lack of interest to a lack of infor-
mation,’ President Mary Whalen had
asked three people closely connected
with the work of the League to speak
on its various activities. The speakers
were Miss Hertha Kraus, of the De-
partment of; Social Economy; Miss
Annette Dinsmore,..social: worker in
the vicinity of Philadelphia. and for-
mer resident at the Overbrook Blind
School; and Mrs. Lothar G. Frank,
head of last year’s Summer Camp.
Miss Whalen first introduced Miss
Kraus, who had worked out, with her
class, statistics on the League “inter-
est cards.”
“rouse interest in the thing the League
stands for,” urged that students sup-
port League service with time and, if}
possible, money, and stressed the values
of League work both for the donor
and the recipient’ of such contribu-
tions. Among the activities reviewed
‘\by Miss Kraus were’ the Community
Center at Haverford, maintained by
three regular workers and League
assistants for an approximate weekly
quota of 500 people; ‘the Maids’ and
Porters’ classes, which help . college
entployees in the profitable occupation
of their leisure time; the Industrial
Summer School for workers’ educa-
tion; and the Industrial Group, which
offers a valuable contact to student and
worker. To the participant, these ac-
tivities. afford first-hand experience
and information, useful in every pro-
fession or social group.
Miss Dinsmore, the second spéaker,
reviewed briefly the work of the vol-
unteer reading at the Overbrook School
for the Blind. Philadelphia women’s
clubs gradually became interested in
the work initiated by Bryn Mawr in
1917 and have offered their services to
the school. The Bryn Mawr group is,
however, Miss Dinsmore ‘said, the only
one which comes at night, when the
school program allows’ for . reading,
and which comes consistently. Here
the eontact with the ‘outer world”
broadens the member of the Blind
School, and helps the college student
to understand the problems and status
of the blind.
* Mrs. Frank, ‘speaking particularly
of last year’s Summer Camp, gave an
intimate picture of League activity in
that. field. The purpose of the camp
is to give about 60 children two weeks
of fun: at the seashore, under the
supervision of a camp staff. Counsel-
ors selected from the student body
acquire experience and a knowledge
of children through this service and,
with the children, are given two weeks
of camping at the shore. Mrs. Frank
felt that both the counselors and the
children would profit more from the
camp if the counselors were given a
little previous training. ‘She advocated
a saries of lectures before the concen-
‘trated final studying sets in,-and suz-
gested Mrs. Forrest, of.the Depart-
ment of Education, as a possible lec-
turer in education.
The children get quantities of rest,
sleep, and play; many. of them are
away from home for the first time,
although few become homesick. Some
enjoy their first single bed and own.

Retain Ancient Art
Professor von Heiné- Geldern
Discusses ‘‘Monuimental’”’ and
“Ornamental” Styles
‘The Deanery, February 6. — The
pre-Buddhistic art of China and Indo-
China still lingers among the primi-
tive races there, stated Baron Robert
von Heine-Geldern, professor..of an-
thropology at the University of
Vienna. In such secluded districts,
he explained, where styles may remain
the same for thousands of years, “the
combined application of archeological
gnd ethnological methods may trace
cultural movements of which no word
would otherwise reach us.”
Among the tribes of Southwestern
Asia, he continued, there are two dis-
tinct arts: the “monumental” and the
“ornamental.” The monumental style
found in India, Burma, and the
cific Islands, and occurs in a less
rm, throughout Indo-China. It -
ural, symbolic, and makes no
attempt to combine its units into a
central pattern. Its figures may be
either naturalistic or geometric, with
extremely simplified outlines. In the
ornamental style, on the other hand,
“the outlines, far from being simpli-
fied, tend to’ dissolute themselves in
ornament which is all subordinated to
one beautiful design.” The essential
feeling, too, is not religious, but
esthetic. This style is found prin-
cipally in certain parts of New Zea-
land and among the Dyaks of Borneo,
and belongs to the bronze age.
The monumental style, however, was
the.art of the megolithic civilization
that followed the great neolithic move-
ment from Northwestern China to the
Pacific in the third millenium B. C.
Fused with a secondary ornamental
style of Western origin, introduced
about 1800 B. C., it formed the art of
the Chan Dynasty. -
The motifs of this art can still be.
traced in Eastern Polynesia, Mar-
quesas, Tahiti, Hawaii, and Northern
China near Hong-Kong. The con-
ventionalized face with the T-shaped
ears found on the island of Marquesas
is especially significant. It occurs in
the pre-Buddhistic Northern Chinese
style, but disappears about 950 B. C.
Therefore, it must have left North
China before 1000 B. C., or South
China before 800 B. C. “This proves,
that prior to the Polyriesian. Move-
ment, there was already a Chinese
colonization on these islands of which
no other record has come down to us.”
Similar research has established that
this colonization also went on in New
Guinea and later in New Zealand,
under the Chou dynasty.
This dynasty reigned from 950 to
771 B. C., when according to legend it
was overthrown by barbaric invaders
from the North. About this time,
new motifs appear in the, Late Chou
style, particularly the double spiral
and the hook-pattern, which Baron
von Heine-Geldern believes were in-
troduced by the conquerors. Both
these motifs occur in the art of the
Sumerian civilization “which ruled
Southeastern Europe from 1200 to
700 B..C. The mysterious “Seng-
yung,” therefore, were probably a
Sumerian horde who migrated from
Hungary or Russia, bringing their art
with them.
