Early Man is Traced |

quence of civilization.from the Folsom
period to the later horizon of the In-
East to the Great Basin be-
tween the Rockies and the Sierras
nething of importance has been dis-
closed. '

“From Abilene, Texas, comes new
evidence connecting the American man
with the Anterglacial period, 75,000
years ago. The evidence has been
verified by a glacial scientist but is
not. yet widely published nor fully
tested. :

The desert districts near Clear-
water, California, whose evolution: is
similar to those near Denver, and
various regions on the Eastern séa-
board provide further proof of the
Folsom culture and of man’s: connec-
tion with extinct mammals.

Although it is generally believed
that the ancestors of the American
Indian came from Asia across the Ber-
ing Straits, -the finds in the region of
this gateway have failed to throw
light on early man’s history;.. The
river beds ffere are continyally shift-
ing and great erosion has taken place
in the valleys. As a result, excursions
under Herdilicke,. Collins and. Miss
de Laguna have been able to obtain
valuable information’ only about the
Eskimo and Indian and. as ‘yet have
found little evidence of early -migra-
tions.

At the other extvein, the tip of
South America, a recent site shows a
sequence of development ‘similar to
that at Salt Lake though perhaps of
an earlier origin. Thus Dr. Strong
showed the divergencies of dates with-
in the pedigree ofthe New World—
from three or*foyr thousand B.C, in
the extreme south to the dividing line
or even the early A.D.’s in middle
America, from 15,000 B.C. in the high
plateau regions, again to the divid-
ing line in the far north. Only the
beginning of the pedigree, however, is
known as yet.

‘PUBLIC OPINION

v

To the Editor of the News:

The editorial titled Peace—or De-
mocracy that appeared in last week’s
edition of the College News. shows
some“ confusion as to the position
taken by the Young Communist
League on the ASU Armistice Day
resolutions, as well as to the relation
of democracy and peace.- It would
seem from the heading of the editorial
that the News finds a certain incom-
patibility between the two concepts.
The position of the Communist Party,
however, is that peace and democracy
are not incompatible. Although de-
mocracies are sometimes compelled to
defend themselves by arms, as Spain
and China are doing today, they are
actually protecting. the peace of other







nations by stopping the spread of ag-|

gression. We can help them prevent
the further spread of war by withhold-
ing economie aid from the fascist pow-
ers, as suggested in the resolution.
Surely everyone will agree that it. is|
the faseist states, not the democracies,
which are the sources of war. - ‘
Fascism is. essentially a war ma-
chine because it. represents the most
extremg stage of imperialism, when
new markets and’ colonies must be ob-
tained by violence. On the other hand,
the more democratic imperialist pow-
ers are, relatively, forces for peace
because they have not yet reached this
acute stage and because their peoples,
who desire peace, retain some degree
of control over the governments. But
nc capitalist democracy has been able
to throw its whole weight on the side
of peace, as the USSR has consist-
ently done. The reason is that the
Soviet Union, a socialist state, has
eliminated the causes of war latent
in even the most democratic capitalist
nations. World peace can. never be
a reality until world socialism has
been achieved. The Communist pro-
gram includes both these:..aims. We
support collective security because it
coincides with a small part of our



Program. But since collective security

is primarily designed for capitalist
‘nations, we do not regard it as a per-



might be done under the auspices of

manent solution to the question of
péace.

Hence we approve of the ASU reso-
lutions,“inasmuch as they are intended
to impose restriction on fascist and
imperialist governments and __ to
strengthen the for of democracy.
But they obviously} cover limited
phases ef the present situation and
fail to provide a-plan of future action.
These reso}uftions could be a first step
in a more comprehensive program, in
which the demésxatic nations use eco-
nomic means to Stop fascist aggres-
sion while such means ‘are still in
their. power. The halting of fascism
will secure peace for the present and
‘will enable the world to make progress
in understanding and eradicating the
deep-rooted causes of war.

We should like to clear up another
point in. the editorial which has been
widely misunderstood by the campus;
that is, the interpretatioif our pre-
vious statement that. “Chamberlain
was working hand in glove with Hit-
ler and Mussolini.” Here we do’ not
imply that Chamberlain was actuated
by love of fascism or by personal am-
bition. No doubt he was influenced by
many motives which cannot be ex-
plored hefe—the class motive, the
Rule Britannia motive, the peace at
any price motive; but we doubt very
much whether his actions sprang from
a corrupt or self-seeking motive. The
fact remains‘that, willingly or unwill-
ingly, he did exactly what Hitler
wanted him to do. Chamberlain at
Munich met the acid test by turning’
blue; we must draw our own conclu-
sions concerning his future reactions.

To the"N@ws we wish ‘to offer a sug-
gestion. Siftce we have stuck” our
necks out by giving our opinion on
practical methods for obtaining peace,
and are inviting and receiving much
helpful criticism, would: it not be an
interesting idea for the News to ore
ganize a peace forum and encourage’
contributions from other schools’ of
thought on the campus? Perhaps this4

To the Editor of the College News:

A senior is theoretically entitled to
use any steps to Taylor which strike
her*fancy. But the only ones which
are really convenient to the great
majority of classrooms are those on
which smoking is permitted. Unfor-
tunately these steps are alWays com-
pletely blockaded by students enjoying
their between-class cigarettes. We
are therefore confronted with two
equally distasteful alternatives:

(1) use Senior steps which take us
out of our way and, consequently,
make us late to classes.

(2) fight a terrific battle to mount
the convenient steps, a struggle which |
takes. so. long that we are late to
class, anyway.

In the case of (2) ‘the vhyaiend
struggle is so great that both stu-
dents and professors have to take a
10-minute siesta in order to recover
from their exertion.

The other side of the controversy
is that smoking is a noble institution,
in addition to being the college girl’s
salvation between classes. Any at-
tempt: to do..away with smoking in

front of Taylor would undoubtedly re-

sult in a revolt of Bryn Mawr stu-
dents compared with which the terrors
of the French Revolution would seem
mild.

The solution to this problem is sim-
ple—let the smokers enjoy their
smokes on the gravel path in front of
Taylor. Is it really necessary to loll
all over the steps to get the full en-
joyment ofethe weed? If they would
smoke standing in front of Taylor in-

‘stead of reclihing on the steps like

decrepit Greek philosophers, both™fac-
ulty and students. would be unendingly..
grateful. Doris Ray.
