outstanding political event of ‘the sum-

‘vent ‘the renomination of: the: \‘Demo-

leading opponents of his New Deal

In Europe the defeat of Great

confusion.
coal, factories, and iron ore lost, its
economic independence gone, will prob-
ably submit unconditionally to Ger-
many. Hungary, too, is pressing both
Czechoslovakia and Rumania for the
Hungarian territories granted ‘them
at: the end. of the war. The non-
Serbian Croatians. and Slovinians are
also threatening civil war in Yugo-
slavia.
The ultimate obit of Hitler is un-
doubtedly the disintegration of the
British empire. He has already sug-
gested indirectly that’ since the Ger-
avy is limited by treaty to 35%
ritish navy, the British air-
ld be correspondingly limited
to 35%" of the German. At Saar-
briicken, he intimated further that he
would regard the election of a hostile
prime minister as throwing doubt upon
the validity of the agreements made
with Chamberlain.
Chamberlain’s surrender at Sunich
has also immediately resulted in new
Japanese “aggression in Southern
China and_ renewed Arab rioting in
Palestine. In America, President
Roosevelt, realizing that hencefofth
the United States may have to defend
it alone, has~ already introduced a
bill aSking increased appropriations
for the army and the air force.
College Coxlnci Holds
First Meeting of Year
‘Continued from Pabé One
Last year, meetings of the A. S. U.,
the International -Relations Club, and
the Industrial Group were all sched-
uled for nights in the middle of the
week. The heads of these organiza-
tions and Eleanor. Taft, ’39, decided
that this made the week too congested
and thought it ~vould be ‘better if the
meetings were changed to” Friday
night. Miss Park said that the ma-
jority of students spend their week-
ends at Bryn Mawr and would be in-
terested in having something to do.
Plans for the Glee Club are still
unformulated. The Princeton Glee
Club has changed its program for one
which Mr. Alwyne. and Misg ’\Park
consider unacceptable. If Bryn Mawr
decides to give a concert, the big
spring week-end could be taken over
ee Players’ Club. Mrs. Manning
thinks that this gives the Players’
Club a good opportunity for giving a
really interesting play. A. J. Clark,
739, said that members of the Glee
Club prefer to work exclusively on
singing rather than mix singing with
acting. Mrs. Chadwick-Collins sug-
\ gested giving a Mozart operetta like
Figaro or The Magic Flute. _Mr. Wil-

impossible to co-operate with Prince-

the Haverford Glee Club.
After the discussion of the Glee
Club, Miss Barbara Cary, publicity di-
rector, outlined her idea for a college

spoke of thé labor conditions in Phila-
delphia, where the garbage and taxi
drivers’ unions have been on strike.
Agnes Spencer, ’89, enumerated the
activities of the labor committee, and
then Helen Cobb reported on the
World Youth Congress which was held
at Vassar College this summer. De-
spite the opposition of American dele-
gates, the Congress took a stand for
dgllective security. It favored anti-
Fascism and wider education. The
Vassar Peace Pact, drawn up at the
convention, favored unity between the
youth of all nations, and opposed ra-
Ncial discrimination. Wars of aggres-
sion were denounced and it was pro-
posed that in the future effective as-
air be given to victims of all such
aggression.
The last A. S. U. business of the
meeting was to elect a permanent rep-
resentative to the district council, and
a new chairfnan of the Publicity Com-
mittee to take the place of Jane Har-
per, ’41, who resigned the post. Mar-
garet Squibb, ’41, was chosen for the
former position; Olivia Kahn, ’41, for
the latter.
