Ex.-Labor Sec’y

Outlines Labor’s

Future Position

Goodhart, February 18. Miss
Franees Perkins, Secretary of La-
bor in the Roosevelt Cabinet, spoke
on the future problems of labor in
the United States in the fourth
Bryn Mawr assembly on Current
Affairs. iy

Miss Perkins pointed out that
all the progress.made so far to-
ward the social betterment of lat
bor has been achieved by law and
responsible legislation supported
by the middle classes. The mini-
mum requirements for life have

thus been assured by law, and|;

workers can depend upon collect-
ive bargaining and increased pro-
ductivity to raise the standard of
living.

The Ex-Secretary outlined the
present requirements in the labor
field to solve the problems of the
future. The first and most im-
portant requirement is better la-
bor unions which will serve their
members so well that the coercion
of the closed shop will be no long-
er necessary. The second require-
ment is a code of ethics growing
out of the people of the union and
not laid down for them by eminent
Such a code would ab-
olish the abuses often identified
with strikes and would determine
fairly both the time and the right
to strike.

Miss Perkins called on the union
for a more stable organization to
build peace between the union and
She further advo-
cated the stabilization of employ-
ment and the control of unemploy-
ment which would lead to increased
production and community wealth.
This, she insisted, must be accom-
plished by the whole community
as. it will benefit everyone.

Finally, she suggested that: dis-
putes should be settled téss by the
use of strikes. Miss Perkins ex-
plained that this can be gradually
achieved by “a still further elab-
oration of the laws of contract” and
a more rigid adherence to them.
Progress will be made through the.
replacement of political techniques
by social techniques.

The total problem of the future
of labor is a challenge to the peo-
ple and not merely to inspired plan-
ners, added Miss Perkins. The
achievement of these reforms will
require the full support of the na-
tion, for the problem affects us all.

E. Evarts, Former News Editor,
Explores Intricacies of the Onion

by Harriet Ward 48

“I’m at loose ends,” announced
Emily Evarts, retired Editor of the
News, after a week away from the
world of headlines and deadlines.
In. typical Evarts fashion Emily
unfortunately celebrated her first
two days of freedam in the Infir-
mary. But she also has managed
to indulge in P. G. Wodehouse and
a weird excursion up Taylor tow-
er.

“My chief accomplishmertt,” con-
tinued Emily, slightly exhausted
after her first full Monday stint in
lab, “has been learning to find my
way around Dalton.” She has de-
cided that. it is perhaps more pro-
pitious for a Biology major to

Discuss Religious,
Racial Viewpoints

Deanery, February 16. The Pan-
el of Americans, a group of six
young women representing various
racialand_religious..groups.in_ this
country visited Bryn Mawr through
the auspices of the Intercultural
Committee of the United Nations
Council of Philadelphia. The group
is composed of students and gradu-
ates of U.C.L.A, and is visiting
schools, colleges, and civic groups
shroughout the country to help
promote a better feeling of broth-
erhood among people of different
backgrounds.

Each girl represented a different
religious or racial group—Catho-
lic, Jew, Negro, Mexican, Chinese,
and-the majority group, the Anglo-
Saxon Protestant.

Because they celebrate different
holidays, many people believe the
Jews to be a peculiar race of peo-
ple, put the girl representing that
group pointed out that they are
not a race but a religious group
and—that-they—have—made—import=
ant contributions in all branches
of our society.

Choosing between the culture of
their parents and of their adopted
country is a problem for many

Emotional Effects |
Of Art Explained

On Tuesday, February 11, Mr.
Morris Blackburn gave a short lec-
ture about modern art in general,
adding to it a few pointers con-
cerning his own paintings, eight
of which were shown in the Com-
mon Room. Mr. Blackburn open-
ed his discussion with a comment
on the popular mental blocks which
prevent people from understanding
and enjoying art. Too often the
spectator asks himself, “What do
I see? What is it that the painter
has seen which I can’t see? Some-
one is at fault.” This attitude is
directly opposite from one which
might present painting in a more
favorable light. Painting is “non-
verbal;” it is an emotional process.
and should have the same effect as
a symphony has.

Strangely enough, considering
the advances in psychiatry which
have permeated modern thought.
too often the public says “If we«
can’t see it; that isn’t it.” And too
cece “paintings, in which the sub-

we quite clear,.are +".

tional beauty is lost. It is just as

In fact, the t months will find
Emily expocing the fine intricacies
of the oniori foot, whose fascinat-
ing dimensions she is now en-
grossed in measuring in a slightly
weepy manner under thousand-
watt lamps. She also plans to delve
into the deeper mysteries of the
obstinate basin on the third floor
of Pembroke. And perhaps there
will be time for some “jolly” fish-
ing in the spring. /

“But nobody speaks to me any
more,” Emily pointed out plaint-
ively. “Or News, and I have to explain quiet-
ly that I have nothing to do with
it now.”

Despite this last remark and the
novel emptiness of life, we discern
a rosier glow in Emily’s cheek and
the gradual fading of that haggard
Editor look. We prophesy com-
plete ‘recovery; and one consola-
tion—no nasty person can ever

prints any more!

Opening Talk Stresses
Spiritual Outcome

Of Encounters

Goodhart, February 12. Open-
ing a series of six lectures on “En-
counters between Civilizations” for
the Mary Flexner Lectureship,
Professor Arnold J. Toynbee stat-
ed that he will deal with the his-
tory of civilizations rather than
states, asa civilization is “the
smallest workable unit of histor-
ical study at which one arrives
when one tries to study the his-
tory of one’s own country.”

Viewing the present century
from the probable historical per-
spective of the future, Professor
Toynbee feels that the enduring
interest of present events will be
found in the ‘impact of western
civilization on other cultures of
our time. Historical concern will,
he feels, progress from a study of
the reactions of “victims” of west-
ern civilizations’s aggressive’ ten-
dencies to intérest in the process
of attack and counter-attack, and
finally to a universal viewpoint
contrasting with the localization of
the present time.

Impact of Cultures

On Each Other

Goodhart, February 17th. “En-
counters. between Civilizations,”
pointed out Professer Arnold Toyn-
bee, may occur either between two
living civilizations or between a
living and the “ghost” of a dead
civilization; examples of these con-
flicts provided the body of Profes-
sor Toynbee’s second lecture, “A

Survey of the Material.”

“I think you can explain modern
Russian history largely in terms
of Russia’s encountering the West,
feeling at a disadvantage to the
West, and perpetually trying to
catch up with the West,” said Pro-
fessor Toynbee, discussing the con-
flict of Russia and the West. The
various westernization movements
in Russia have been attempts to
equal the technieal achievements
of the west; Professor Toynbee
feels that the Communist revolu-
tion and-the subsequent forced in-
dustrialization can be largely ex-
plained in these terms.

The history of Turkey follows a
pattern similar to that of Russia,
beginning with unwilling adoption
of some western methods, partic-
ularly in warfare during the 19th
century, and ending with the re-
gime of Ataturk and unconditional
acceptance of western techniques.

The position of the Hindu civili-
zation is one of an element on the
one hand seeking to repudiate the
western influence and return to its
historic culture, and on the other
hand, forced to adopt western
methods to repel western influence.
The Jews, who, through their close
religious community have preserv-

-ed-elements of their ancient civ-

ilization, are a group which, be-
cause it has not become absorbed
in western civilization are now try-
ing to withdraw from it inte Pal-
estine. Nevertheless, their tech-
nical modernization of the Jewish
areas of Palestine has made them
a spearhead of western methods in



that region.

properly. “The chorus is instruct-
ed to repeat the verse about mas-

parent relish. Then the director

Political Prejudice Vs. Ability
Democracy’s hope in the world is that “it is an affirma-
tive belief, rather than meres! simply a belief against some-
thing else and nothing more.”
This is, in part, the definition of democracy offered by
David Lilienthal, whose appointment as chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission is now being contested by Con-
gressional name-callers on the grounds of Mr. Lilienthal’s
Communistic tendencies and other vague disqualifications.
There seems to be nothing definite or valid in the state-
ments that the “sticks-and-stones” element of Congress is|
hurling at the former TVA head. Mr. Lilienthal’s own recent
statement in regard to Communism proves the fallacy of
- guch accusations which are founded mainly on the fact that
TVA was state-controlled. ” Mr. Lilienthal’s very association
with TVA in an administrative position is the strongest poss-
ible argument for his appointment as head of the A. E.C. As

Mr. Lippmann has pointed out, Lilienthal possesses a unique
_ experience in having directed the project which most nearly
corresponds to the Commission of Atomic Energy in its scope,
and in its problem of coordinating civil, military, and private
authority.
The need for a far-sighted and efficient head of the
A. E. C. transcends, or should transcend, mere politics. Mr.
Lilienthal’s record on TVA has proved his capability; his in-
ternational policy toward the issue of atomic control proves
him the man for the job. The appointee’s defeat in the pres-
ent contention would be a.definitely undesirable indication of
J United States policy on atomic energy, and a proof that the
4 name-calling technique of Senator McKellar can be effective-
a ly and destructively used as a political block.

Common Room, February 17,

Speaking on Republicanism or

|“Taft and Company” versus Lilien-

thalism, Mr. Bachrach took as his
thesis the traditional negativist
policy which the Republicans are
following. Mr. Bachrach .explain-

ed that because no definite kind of
positive program was formed, the
Republicans resorted to name-
calling and a more or less negative
policy.. This policy is in inevit-
able conflict with Lilienthal’s idea
of democracy which asserts that
“democracy is an affirmative be-
lief” and that “his convictions are
concerned with what he is for.”
Mr. Bachrach stated that per-
sonally he is not against conserv-
atism for which the Republican
party stands, but rather the nega-
tivist policy employed by the par-
ty. To support this premise Mr.

| Bachrach cited the stand taken by

Republicans on several current is-
sues. Included in these was the
Republican action in regard to full
employment. The Full Employ-
ment Act of 1946 provided for
presidential reports to Congress
on the state of the national econ-
omy and for a congressional com-
mittee report containing recom-
mendations for full employment in
the future. Mr. Taft has com-
pletely blocked further procedure
on the bill by having it referred
to committee, “because the ques-
tion is. too controversial to be
raised at this time.

“The Republicans have also
evaded ‘the issue in attacking re-
‘ciprocal trade agreements,” Mr.
Bachrach continued. If the agree-
ments were placed under the Tar-
iff commission as Taft suggested
in his Lincoln Day speech, the
agreements would be killed with-
out raising a public issue. This
would also be a blow to economic
internationalism which would in
turn have dire effects on American
economy.

Mr. Bachrach also said that “the
Taft-Wallace-Smith legislation on
labor has touched only the fringes
of the problem. Not only has this
bill sidetracked the question from
the relation between the cost of
living and costs and profits, but it

taken concerning other phases of
the labor problem. For example,
Taft has asserted that high profits
mean low prices and that there-
fore there is no need to raise sal-
aries. He has also said, however,
that he is in favor of raising refits
which would result in lowered sal-
aries.

In the same way the current Lil-
ienthal crisis shows the Republic-
an tendency ‘to do a piecemeal job,
because the main issues of the
case have been overlooked. Instead
of concentrating on questions such
as “Should there be military or
civilian control of atomic energy,”
the Republicans have again turned
to name-calling as a way out. If
this policy is successful in keeping
Lilienthal out of office, not only
will-name-calling continue, but also
it will constitute a denial of our
desire to internationalize siaenan
energy.

In conclusion, Mr. Bachrach said,
“This negativist policy of the Re-
publicans could prove ruinous, be-
cause it avoids the fundamental
problems which the government
will have to face face eventually, 4

variation in tlass animal. For
years the show was given in the

Toynbee Discusses

Hist. of Civilization
(

Continued from Page 1.

We are currently concerned with
the threat of Russian communism,
said Professor Toynbee, owing to
its power of making converts. How-
ever, Russia is a segment of the
orthodox Christian civilization, and
her impact will, he feels, be far
less in the last analysis than that
of the cultures of India and China,
which are not part of this tradi-
tion.

Drawing an analogy to Greco-
Roman civilization, Professor Toyn-
bee stressed the spiritual, rather
than the material, outcome of con-
flicting civilizations. The signifi-
cance of the Greco-Roman era, he
declared, was that in response to
its aggressive tendencies four uni-
versal religions were produced,
two based on violence—Islamism





and Hinduism, and two based on
non - violence — Christianity and
Buddhism.

Professor Toynbee pointed out
that one of the most significant
contributions of modern times was
the development of a new time

scale, enabling us to detach events}

from our personal lives and see

‘them in the perspective of human

and world history: Study of the
past gives us the means of calcu-
lating the average life span of a
civilization; by comparison with
the Greco-Roman, western civili-
zation is still relatively youthful.
The impact of a civilization, Pro-
fessor Toynbee said, does not end
ager its political dominance ceas-
but its intellectual influence
pedis to be felt among succeed-
ing cultures.
Professor Toynbee’s lectures will
be published in forthcoming vol-
umes of. his Study of History.

must be kept on campus for 24

top bureau drawers and requested
that both classes be moderate and
refrain from any physical violence.

In 1985 “The New National Re-
covery Act” portrayed the search
of the inmates of. an old -:ladies
home for Ponce de Leon’s fountain
of youth, but they found Ponce
himself, after which discovery the
usual complications ensued. “Forty
Bust” is described as “humourous
bunkum” and returns to the old
college theme as the busts in Tay-

lor leave their pedestals to visit

|classes. “Asleep and Better to be
That Way” concerned four dead
kings and the Third Crusade, “The
Devil Did Grin” was a review of
campus characters in parody :and
five male members of. the faculty
were legally allowed to attend, and
one other, the animal: a Western
Union peneengar’ hired at 50c an
hour:

“Third Termite in Taylor” con-
cerned the Roosevelts on a college
tour and the class of ’43 produced
as its animal, an ant in a test tube.
“Fantasia 44” was the nightmare
of a glamour-less Freshman when
she falls asleep aver the anatomy
of a lobster to dream of scotch,
college notables and men.. The
fight. for the animal that year was
extremely bitter, involving’ even
the Juniors who threw paint, tur-

‘pentine,.and hot. water to protect

their sister class from the heckling
Sophomores.

“Love, Fret and Cheers” featur-
ed Hitler as the villain and a dove
as. the animal; “For~-Whom -the
Sirens Scream” had a spy-plot, Dr.
Herben was the animal; “Alas Poor
Yorick” was a satire on human
preoccupation with such petty. mat-
ters as which of two sky-scrapers

jis tallest and its effect on man and

monkey, the monkey being the. an-
imal; the class of ’48 produced their
carefully hidden donkey after
“Tart Art” and ’49, a dachshund
after “Past Perfect.”

concerns a new angle of campus
life, i. e., the G. I. at college. Lucky,
lucky men can now net only attend

ly await the day when the weaker

New Physical Ed. Head Brings
Different Outlook to Bryn Mawr

Department at Bryn Mawr. Her

tutions in the West whose outlook
on sports is basically different from

Adopt Western Ways
Continued from Page 1

The position of the Japanese is
similar to that of the Hindus in
that the Japanese have adopted the
material aspects of Western. civ-
lization to repel its other infliu-
ences; however; the Japanese re-
main convinced of their destiny to
rule the world, and are willing to
use what the west has to give them
to attain this. aim. The. conflict
between. acceptance. and - repudia-
tion of the West is now fairly well
over in China, and the present
issue is between two different mod-
ernizing influences.

The. three-sided conflict. of the
Medieval Christian, the Islamic and
the Orthodox World had little ef-
fect in terms of: enduring. conquest
of the eastern Mediterranean by
the West, but it. provided the West
with an introduction to elements of
Greek culture preserved by Byzan-
tium and the Arabs, and led to the
Renaissance. In reaction to Ro-
man conquests, new _ religious
movements were generated. The
Syrian peoples retaliated for their
conquest by the Babylonians by
drawing the Persians into their
cultural orbit, ending finally in the

elimination ef Babylonian civiliza- |

tion by Persian conquest.

career, Miss Clayton will undoubt-
edly bring new viewpoints and
ideas to the college: Although at
present still engaged in establish-:
ing herself in a new scene, she has
already found time to show great
interest in the athletic activities
of the college and to attend many
of the basketball games.

Miss Clayton received her train-
ing in physical education at the
University. of Wisconsin, where she
did both undergraduate and grad-
uate work; in addition she has
studied child psychology at the
University of Minnesota. Her
teaching experiece includes _posi-
tions held at Rockford College
(Illinois), the University of Min-
nesota, the State Teachers’ College
of Illinois, and most recently at
Depauw University AngGreencastle,
Indiana,

While most of Miss Clayton’s
work has baen with people of col-
lege age, she is also very much in-
terested in physical education and
recreation for children. Last sum-
mer she worked in this field as rec-
reation director of a state organ-
ized clinic for children with speech

‘

In Ursinus Came

’ The Ursinus game proved a dis-
aster for Bryn Mawyr’s records.
The first, second, ‘and third teams
were defeated successively, 28-21,
40-25, 40-20, by a skilled and high-
ly trained Ursinus squad. in the
first team game, Ursinus threw the
Bryn Mawr guards into confusion
by a play which kept Ursinus for-
wards on one side of the basket,
and made guarding difficult. The
end of the first half found the
score 13-6 in favor of Ursinus, but
the final score was 28-21 in the
visitors’ favor. Rosemary Gilmar-
tin led the scoring for Bryn Mawr
with 15 points.

The second team alone can claim
the honor of leading Ursinus at
the end of a period. Bryn Mawr
led 17-14. at the half, but it can
be said safely that Ursinus recov-
ered its lost prestige by leaving
the final score at 40 points to Bryn
Mawr’s 25, at the game’s end.
