Wilcox Stresses
Trade Struggles
Of World Today

U. S., Foreign Obstacles
To Trade Unity
Outlined
Goodhart, October 8. Mr. Clair Wil-
cox discussed the obstacles facing

the International Trade Organiza-
tion in the third of the series of

Shaw lectures on “Rebuilding the]
World Economy.” The issue is the] |
struggle of multilateral free trade|

against discriminate bilateral trade
in the post-war world. Mr. Wilcox
stated that the obstacles to agree-
ment between nations are offered
not only by other nations, but by
interests and attitudes in the U.S.
-as well.

Unbalance of trade, the “fetish
-of industrialization,’ fear of a
world-wide slump resulting from a
U.S. depression and world-wide
“statism” are the obstacles which
Mr. Wilcox ascribed to other coun-
tries. In the U.S., on the other
hand, the incompatibility of word
-and deed prevent international eco-
nomic understanding.

Trade Unbalance

Unbalance is the most obvious
‘problem, since the U.S. has an ex-
eess of exports over imports with
‘every country we deal with, except
‘Cuba. The U.S. provides one-half
of the manufactured goods of the
‘workd and one-third of all goods.
‘The result of the 11 million dollar
surplus of exports over imports is
a dollar famine in the other coun-
tries, which must turn to us for
practically all their needs. Short
on dollars, these countries, such as
England, must discriminate against
the American dollar and must prac-
tice bilateral trade as a stop-gap
measure until their national econ-
omy is more secure. This measure,
said Mr. Wilcox, is extremely risky,
and would eventually be suicidal
for England.

The “fetish of industrialization”
prevents growth of free trade in
the backward nations of Asia and
Latin America, whose obsession
for factories has laid restrictions
on American imports.. Their de-
velopment is very much to the in-
terest of the U.S., Mr. Wilcox
pointed out, but the attitude of
these countries is characterized by
fear. Suspicious that the U.S.

Wilcox Gives Informal Comments
In Hurried Afternoon /nterview

A quick interview that caught

fully disposed toward the future
on several major economic ques-
tions. A query as to the Marshall

Plan—whether it was satisfactor-
ily filling Europe’s economic needs
—brought an emphatic yes from
Mr. Wilcox, and his attitude to-
ward the possibility of depression
in this country was optimistic and
encouraging. :

Mr. [Wilcox was Director of In-
ternational Trade Planning under
the State Department, and when
the International Fund and the In-
ternational Bank were set up, Mr.
Wilcox was sent, in the office of
chairman and vice-chairman of the

Bureau to Seek
Rooms for Guests

The Undergraduate Association
has set up a Bureau of Accommo-
dations to systematize finding
rooms for overnight guests. All
people in the Vill who take guests
have been asked to register with
the college and lists of these places
will be posted in Taylor and in the
halls.

Each person who has registered
with the Bureau has been asked to
notify the college as soon as all
rooms have been filled so that un-
necessary telephone calls by stud-
ents will be avoided. Jess Vorys ’50
is head of the new bureau.





Tequila, Lithe Haverfordians
N._E..Station Spice Up ‘‘Fiasco’’

by Anne Greet ’50

“It’s very typical of the East—
at least there’s nothing like that
in Missouri,” muttered one Junior
as she gazed admiringly at Good-
hart stage—the pink railroad sta-
tion, Toonerville Train, the dino-
saur clouds. Even gaudier is the
Mexican backdrop with its red,
yellow, brown, and pink houses,
gourds, striped roofs ,and snow-
topped mountains.

Just as Girl (Betty Jean Con-
nor), Boy (George Nofer), and
Aunt Agatha (Kay Bonfils) are
starting off for Mexico, they are
hailed by the President of the
Boost-New - England - and - Praise-
Our-Fair-Countryside’ Association
(Gwynne Williams).

Gwynne: “Just going down to
the Cape, I trust, or the sylvan
glades of (Maine.”





A. J.: “LOUDER!”

Gwynne: “Maine?”

The rest of the stage is covered
with old maids, young maids,
mothers and offspring, and Haver-
ford men at one moment, and lithe-
some South Americans the next—|
the latter who perform intricate |
ribbony dances. Gardenias, gold-
hooped-earrings, and a big bow in
back, fd the Mexican kick chorus

Aggie’s hay fever, help Girl de-

Howe Announces
Meal Exchanges
On “New System”

A new system of exchanges for
the dinner meal in the halls has
been announced by Miss Howe.
The main features of the old sys-
tem will be retained, but new ad-
ditions have been introduced in the
hope of preventing food waste or
overcrowding of particular halls.

The procedure of signing out for
meals will remain the same. Each
student is supposed to sign out for
all college meals she does not ex-
pect to attend, whether she is go-
ing away for the weekend, to the
Vill, to the Infirmary, or the Inn..
Students who wish to eat dinner
in another hall must sign out in
their own halls, and also sign in
the hall where they wish to eat.

Lists will be posted in each hall
with parallel “in” and “out” col-
umns; the “signing in” procedure
consists of registering one’s name
beside that of a student who has

A. Sheble Lecture

Tuesday Evening

Thomas Stearns Eliot, renowned
poet, essayist, and lecturer, will
give the Ann Elizabeth Sheble
Memorial Lecture in English, on
Tuesday, October 26 at 8:30 p. m.
in Goodhart Hall. Mr. Eliot will
read selections from his poetry and
comment on them. :

A former teacher and bank clerk,
Mr. Eliot has also been a magazine
editor (of the Horizon), and has
for a long time been associated
with the publishing business. Born
in St. Louis, he attended both
American and European universi-
ties. He has been a naturalized
British subject since 1927.

Mr. Eliot is best known for his
poetry; his most famous books are
the Collected Poems: 1907-1935,
published in 1936, The Murder in
the Cathedral (1935), and Four
Quartets (1942). His published
essays include the Selected Essay:
1917-1932, and The Use of Po-
etry.

There will be a discussion period
in the Common Room immediately
following the lecture.

Harsch to Speak
e td)
On Foreign Policy
. ons

At First Assembly

Joseph C. Harsch, CBS news
commentator, will speak on “Our
Foreign Policy” at this year’s first
Alliance Current Affairs Assembly
on Thursday, October 21.

Mr. Harsch was for many years
a correspondent for the Christian
Science Monitor, in Washington,
Rome, and Berlin. He has been
with OBS since 1943. His book,
“Patterns of Conquest” was pub-
lished in 1941.

The Assembly will start prompt-
ly at 12:30, so students are re-

minded of early classes and late
lunch on that day.

Student Clubs Plan

Political Activities

(With only two weeks left until
elections, the political clubs on cam-
pus are expecting their busiest
period. On Monday, October 25,
Current Events will be replaced by
a panel discussion. Jane Ellis will
be moderator, and one member
from each party will give a brief
resume of that party and its plat-
form.

The speakers are: Democrat,
Sally Darling; Progressive, Sheila
Tatnall; Republican, Madelaine
Blount. The speeches will be fol-
lowed by a question and discussion
period. The panel is to be tran-
scribed by station WCAU, for
broadcast on October 30, as part of
the station’s coverage of student
election activities.

The other principal occupations
of the clubs are: reading party lit-
erature, doing clerical work at the
Philadelphia headquarters, and
“poll-watching” on election day.
The Republicans and Democrats
plan to go out on sound trucks and
help get the population out to vote.
Priscilla Marbury, Betty Jane
Goldblatt, and Jane Walker are the
presidents of the Democratic, Pro-
gressive, and Republican clubs re-
spectively.

‘Fiasco,’ Dance

In Rock Spark
(ct. 22 Weekend

Haverford Joins 1950;
Connor, Nofer Star
In Musical

The Class of 1950 will present its
Junior Show, Fiasco, next Saturday
night. This annual event will take
place in Goodhart auditorium and
will start promptly at 8:30. Some-
‘thing definitely new has been add-
ed to 50’s show: it will be given
in collaboration with Haverford.
Fiasco is a musical and has a mix-
ed chorus of forty-five people.
Betty Jean Conner and George
Nofer of Haverford have the lead-
ing parts. Jim Hastings is “the
other man,” and Kay Bonfils and
Gwynne Williams will provide com-
edy interest.

The basic plot and half the songs
were written by Gene Galanter,
erstwhile fifty-ite, and a friend of
his, Mr. Tony Van Riper. Addi-
tional songs have been written by
F. Blade of Haverford. Cynthia
Lovejoy and Gwynne Williams
have also contributed lyrics. The
show promises to be one of the
most gala events of the fall sea-
son; tickets are on sale at the Busi-
ness Office this week.

The other important festivity
planned for the weekend is the
Rock Hall Dance, at which Ned
Brill’s orchestra will play. Accord-
ing to Jane De Armand, Chairman
of the Committee, the whole dance
will be decorated with a fall motif.
The tickets will be $2.75 per couple,
as they were last year.



lowa Conferencé

Plans UN Changes

Specially contributed by
Betty Beierfeld °51
and Marge Carlson ’51

The National Conference for the
Prevention of World War III, held
at Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa,
June 10 to 13, 1948, was unable to
reach any agreement beyond that
of the necessity of preventing the
next World War gireins the
ultimate goal of Federation.
The Conference demonstrated the
great difficulties which will beset
any attempt at reaching an agree-
ment on the subject of preventing
war. A resolution was passed urg-
ing the government to take the
leadership in strengthening the
U. N. through revisions and full
support.

Revisions. Clarified

The most valuable thing about
the conference was the way in
which the discussions clarified the
various methods of U. N. revision.

Chester S. Williams, defending
the present U.N.,-said that there
could not be as much agreement
today as at San Francisco, and
maintained that the U. N. at least
approaches the goal of universality
of membership.

Dorothy Thompson said the U. N.
rests on several wrong basic as-
sumptions: there is one law for
the strong and another for the
weak; as long as one large state
has no security, neither does any-
one else. Law, not peace, is the
only thing that can be enforced.

Norman Thomas distinguished
between establishing abiding peace
and preventing a third world war.

Student Library Committee

At this moment there is no active connecting link be-
tween the studénts, faculty and staff in regard to the func-
tioning of the library. Since all three are equally concerned
in the working of the college library and since there recently
has been so much criticism leveled from all three sources, the
NEWS proposed last week the formation of a Student Lib-

rary Comniittee.

This committee would work directly with

a graduate and a faculty representative and Miss Agnew,

Head Librarian.

A specification of the purposes of such a

group, as we envision it, is now in order.

The committee, which would be set up similar to the
present Inn Committee and which would not legislate, would
be first a specific channel for student criticism and ideas on
the library. The group would seek campus opinion on pro-
cedure innovations, such as the new system of fines for books
borrowed from the stacks, as well as register any complaints
or ideas for future changes in the library. Secondly, the
Student Library Committee would discuss and evaluate the
criticisms received with the faculty and staff representatives.
Then it would recommend solution.

The Student Library Committee would work generally
for the improvemnt of prevailing systems judged inadequate
by the undergraduates for innovations, and for the carrying
out of existing procedures in the most efficient manner (as

the case now arises in the Reserve Room).

Above all,

would be a basis for a unity of function in the library. The
NEWS believes that such a working committee is the most
feasible solution to the existing gap between faculty, staff

and student in the library.

Current Events

Berlin: No Man’s Land. There are
two pertinent questions involved:
How did we get where we are and,

we going to find a way out?

To answer the first question, Dr.
Wells summed up the steps that)
have led us into the present crisis |
in Berlin. The formation of the Rus-

| sian Cominform to oppose the Mar-

shall Plan put the Western Powers
in a difficult position in Berlin. The
main point of the issue, however,
now concerns the recommendations
resulting from the London Confer-
ence last spring which was termin-
ated by Russian withdrawal from
the meeting. The Russians claim
that the Potsdam Agreement was
violated, although they were the
first -to violate it by preventing the
economic unity of Germany.

Russia does want a unified Ger-
many, Dr. Wells asserted, but one
unified in her behalf. She now pro-
poses a four-power control of the
Ruhr Valley, subject to her veto,
and withdrawal of occupational
forces. We refuse to consider this
last request until peace in Europe
is assured.

Russia’s policy is to delay as
long as possible in order to add
chaos to the already tense situa-
tion. Our plan of action now, Dr.
Wells suggested, should be to let
the Germans attempt to settle the
currency problem since the four
powers have tried and failed. It is
certain, however, that we cannot
withdraw. We must make good our
word and realize fully our respon-
sibility to the “little people” who
have stood by us in defiance of
Russia.

Trade Restrictions
Continued from page 1
wants to hold them to the status
of colonies to provide raw mater-
ials only, they plan import quotas
to restrict trade with our country.
Import quotas, he added, will not
provide them with factories, for
|there are social, economic, and
‘labor difficulties which will prevent
the quick development of the Asiat-
ic nations. Here again, the multi-
‘lateral trade plan is foiled.

The prevailing fear of a world-
wide slump prevents many coun-
‘tries from entering into multilat-
eral agreements. The world has
come to trace all depressions to
the U.S., and holds this country
responsible for any international
business recession. The depression
of ’29 and the early thirties will
not be repeated, Mr. Wilcox de-
clared, for the economic situation
of our nation is completely differ-
ent. However, we cannot guarantee
against a business recession.
Foreign countries want a flexible
mvitilateral agreement which will
allow them to curtail imports if
a depression does set in. This not
granted, a bilateral agreement
seems more stable to them. “But,”
Mr. Wilcox emphasized.
nerability of a nation is greater if
it has a bilateral trade than if it
has the choice of a multilateral
trade.” The only real economic sta-
bility is in economic isolationism,
which is impossible today. The
compromise must be made between
the need for domestic stability on
the one hand and the importance of
freedom of trade on the other.

“Statism” is an underlying prob-
lem of the international economic
situation. Collectivism and the free
world market are not compatible
in their extremes. A free domestic

system as “prejudicial to Britain’s
real needs,” and added that the
only government that can afford
nationalization is a rich one, while
only the poor nations undertake
it. Food subsidy, price control, ra-
tioning and restrictive union rules
practiced in England take away
the incentive to work, while the
heavy government expenditure on
social programs increases imports.
Mr. Wilcox did add that theré has
been some improvement in produc-
tion, but the exports are going to
countries that cannot pay in dol-|
lars, so that Britain’s internation-

Jal-aceounts are going awry.” .

omic situation, Mr. [Wilcox does

ly that there will be no repetition

For the convenience of the kit-

question will be taken down at that

comparative numbers of ins and

Students may sign in after one

place for that evening.

The new system applies only to
dinner. For lunch, the old system
of personal exchanges is still in
force. The old system may also be
applied to the dinner meal in cases
of emergency; i. e., if not enough
students have signed out to pro-
vide places in the dining room for
all the students who wish to sign
in. A new aspect of the proced-
ure is this: in case of inability to
secure a place either through sign-

ing to find a personal exchange,
the student may take the place of

National Conference
Explains UN Changes
Continued from page 1

Dr. Kim said that without peace-
in Asia there can be no peace in
the world; he pointed out the neces-
sity of a democratic and peaceful
Japan and China, named Korea,
Greece and Palestine as trouble
spots where war may break out,
and he ended with a plea for racial
brotherhood.

Ely Culbertson stressed the im--
portance of having a definite plan.
for action now. His plan for U. N.
revision is: (A) elimination of the
veto in defined matters of aggres-
sion and preparation for aggres-
sion, (B) world disarmament and
atomic control; and -(C) establish-
ment of a Federal International
Police Force.

Streit Presents Plan

Streit claimed that the real ob-

jective being sought is not peace,
but equal individual freedom. His.
plan is to create a union of the:
free, and later extend it to other
nations. His plan differs from the
others in that it has individual
liberty governments, it puts “moral
power” behind the maintenance of
peace.
Samuel Levering, representing:
the UWF, said that the two worlds.
of the U. S. and Russia probably
cannot maintain peace over the
next twenty years. The only com-
mon interest is the will to survive,
but on this a bridge can be built,
not to stop conflict, but to prevent
its being carried out in war. His.
program has three basic principles.
—the division of sovereignty and
immediate disarmament; laws en-
forceable on the individual; and the
power to raise revenue directly,
and to collect’ it if necessary alk
through the U. N.

James Avery Joyce, of the World
Citizenship . Movement, said his.
movement has no plan but puts em-
phasis: on individual responsibility.
He brought out the point that the
British fear Communists and Rus-
sia less than we, and he does not
believe that we have a definite and.
short time limit in which to work
for world government. He also em-

_phasized the fact that world service

is the right approach to world gov—
ernment.

IRC Announces

‘Future Program

The International Relations Club,

50, of Bryn Mawr, and Elwyn
Davies, 50, of Haverford, held its
first meeting of the year last Wed-

Their Agreements and Disagree-
ments”, was taken up for discus-
sion, with Elwyn Davies giving a
short summary of the problem of
the Atlantic Charter.

Later .at this same meeting it
was decided that since there are
so many foreign students included
in the membership of the IRC, the
future program should be altered
so that the individual members
could tell the whole group about
their own countries as preparation
for launching into a study of the
United Nations as such. This Wed-
nesday at 8:30 p. m. at the Haver-
ford Union there will be a meeting
in which three French students will
talk on the propaganda war in
France. Each speaker will take a
different class of French society
and outline its reaction to the
present East-West conflict.

Thirty-five Bryn Mawr students,

ES, here is a cigarette so mild that, in a total of 2470 exacting throat
examinations of hundreds of men and women who smoked Camels

exclusively for 30 consecutive days, throat specialists found not one
single case of throat irritation due to smoking Camels.

Why are Cameis so mild? Choice tobaccos— infinite care in their
ageing—plus matchless blending to bring you a full, rich flavor and a
cool mildness that says “Camels,” and only Camels!

Interest In International Affairs

Displayed by Foreign Students

by Gwynne Williams ’50

“Bryn Mawr gives you a wonder-
ful opportunity to try out all the
‘poses’ you want,” said Francine |
du Plessix, a freshman in Pem- |
broke West. Francine comes from
France originally, but she has been
in this country for about six years.
“You can be the shaggy-tweed
horn-rimmed glasses type; or the
avid Leftist, politics major. In that
way you can find yourself.” But
she had one criticism of Bryn Mawr
students. “They waste so much
time. Perhaps you do not consider
sitting around playing bridge all
day a waste of time; but I do, when
there are so many things to be
creative about.” But the greatest
advantage, she thought, is that
Bryn Mawr teaches one to be in-
dependent; it teaches one how to
choose and discern, which seems to
her far more important than tie
actual facts one may learn.

Bryn Mawr Independence

It was this same independence
that most pleased Catherine “Ka-
toushka” Cheremetoff, a freshman
in Radnor. She thinks Bryn Mawr
in wonderful, the classes are won-
derful, and the professors are won-
derful. “You are not forced to do
things here. There is so much free-
dom,” said Katoushka, “You can
discuss what you don’t understand
with your professors, and they
don’t overload you with work. In
France, where I went to school, I
had to take eleven courses in one
year; and that was not at all un-
usual.” Her parents were banished
from their native land by the Rus-
sian Revolution, and went to
France where Katoushka was born.

In Merion we found Leyla Kirpa-
lani, very husky from a cold. She
assured us that her voice is pitched

Leyla came to the U. S. from India
in 1944 with her family when her
father was appointed Consul Gen-
eral in San Francisco. “I should
love to be an unhappy philosopher,”

she said. “Though I suppose I shall
major in economics because that
is practical; but then philosophy is
so uninterestingly impractical.”
She feels that there are more op-
portunities here for women than in
India; but since she is an Indian
citizen, she expects to return there.
Her ambition is to be a diplomat.

Elizabeth Douli is a junior in
Pembroke West. She arrived from
Greece the seventh of September
after two years at the American
College in Athens; and is here to
obtain a degree as none of the col-
leges in Greece grant degrees. For
the American Colleges in Greece
are two year colleges, the equiva-
lent of our Junior College, and the
Universities do not give an A.B.,
which Elizabeth wants. She is ma-
joring in English and enjoys
classes immensely.

It is interesting to note how in-
ternational minded are these ex-
amples of our new foreign stud-
ents. All of them realize the im-
portance of world relations, and
each intends to follow some career
which will further its progress.







Clair Wilcox Discusses Trade Restrictions
In Lecture on “Rebuilding World Economy”

economy brings the free world
market closer to realization, while
collectivism fits with discriminat-
ing bi-lateralism. “If world goes
collectivist, our hopes for multi-

the general world-trend is toward

establish better trade relations
while there are still “huge areas
of free trade in the world.” Since
the countries involved lean toward
public control, there must be!
compromise.

The United States’ reluctance to
practice what she preaches is our)
great domestic obstacle to trade |
agreement. Dewey’s stated support |
of the Reciprocal Agreements Act
augurs well in event of his victory,
but the record of Congress, Repub-
lican controlled, has certainly not

bettered the chances of settlement.
Mr. Wilcox pointed to several acts
that contradict the stand that the
U.S. has taken: while we argued
lowered tariffs in Geneva, Congress
passed a tariff hike on wool, later
vetoed; the artificial price level of

U.S. agriculture set by Parity, is
also inconsistent with free trade
aims; we have mixed true rubber
with synthetic t®™ protect our syn-
thetic rubber industry; we have set
quotas on strategic materials to
unfriendly countries, and discrimin-
ated in trade of strategic materials
for ourselves, saving those closest
at hand for easy access in emer-
gency. We cannot, then, Mr. Wil-
cox asserted, wonder at the mis-
| trust of other countries.
Comparing the obstacles raised,
abroad and at home, to trade settle-
|ments, Mr. Wilcox described ours
as the “least worse” of the stances
on international trade. To effect



unity of any sort, we must prac-_
tice what we preach, and we must:

comprise.
