W.P. Conference
Discusses Policy
Of U.S. in Kast

Problems and Objectives

Specially contributed
by Betty Goldblatt, °51

When the second Student Con-
ference on United States Affairs
was being planned last Spring, no-
body could have known how ex-
- ceedingly timely it would turn out
to be. From December 6 through
9, 150 seniors from 5i1 colleges and
the Military and Naval Academies
assembled to discuss “The Far
Eastern Policy of the United
States: Problems and Objectives of
the 1950's.”

Because last year’s forerunner
conference showed that the eco-
nomic, political, and strategic fac-
tors in the formation of a foreign
policy cannot. be considered inde-
pendently of one another, this time
we were divided instead according
to geographical areas: Japan and
Korea, China and Formosa, South-
east Asia, and India and Pakistan.
Nancy Blackwood, the other Bryn
Mawr delegate, was on the China
and Formosa panel, and I was on
Japan and Korea. We were im-
pressed with the factual informa-
tion at the fingertips of the other
delegates; with the unmilitaristic
viewpoint of most of the cadets
and midshipmen; with the unani-

mous awareness that whatever
happened in the Far East in the
near future would greatly deter-
mine the future of our generation.

Experts spoke to us, and served
as chairman of the panels and as
‘advisers; we listened but did not
feel obliged to agree. Because it
was the week of the Atlee-Truman
conference, Philip Jessup, the Am-
bassador-at-large, could not ap-
pear, and instead Dr. Edward
Earle, Chairman of the School of
International Relations at Prince-
ton discussed the economic and po-
litical facts of our Far Eastern
policy; General Alfred Gruenther,
Deputy Chief of Staff, gave us an
estimate of the relative strengths
of the Soviet and United States
military power, on which to base
discussion of strategic aspects of
the area. Dr. John Masland of the
National War College told us about
the apparatus of the State De-
partment for the formation of for-
eign policy; Dr. George Millikan,
consultant to the House Foreign
Affairs Committee discussed the
same problem with relation to Con-

Nuclear Energy

Progress Shown

To Science Club

On Thursday, January 11, the
Science Club presented a lecture
by Dr. Robert A. Patterson, Assist-
ant Director of the Brookhaven
National Laboratory. Dr. Patter-
son, who did research on X-rays at
Yale, took his Ph.D. there, and was
head of the Department of Physics
at Rensselaer Polytechnic Insti-
tute from 1940-1946, worked as a
staff member at the Radiation Lab-
oratory, Cambridge. The topic of
his lecture in Dalton was “Nuclear
Energy at Brookhaven Labora-
tory.”

Brookhaven Laboratory was
built on the site of Camp Upton,
on Long Island, to satisfy the wish-
es of University scientists for the
production of radioactive mater-
ials by nuclear reactors, which
were too costly and too secret to
be built on every one of the cam-
puses wanting them. A number of
universities banded together to
form “Universities Inc.,” the non-
profit organization which operates
Brookhaven. The laboratory _is
supported by government funds,
and is dedicated to the develop-
ment and utilization of atomic en-
ergy.

Wootton to Talk
For The Alliance

The next Alliance assembly will
be held on January 19, 1951 at
12:30 p. m. in Goodhart Hall. The
speaker for the assembly will be
Professor Barbara’ Wootton, who
is well-known on both sides of the
Atlantic as a writer and radio
commentator on social legislation.
Her topic of discussion will be
Britain in the World Crisis, in
which she will point out Britain’s
obligations in the world today.

Professor Wootton is a woman
of many enterprises. She is Pro-
fessor at London University as
Chairman of the Department of
Social ‘Sciences, Governor of the
British Broadcasting Corporation,
and Member of Royal Commission
on the Press. She is also the au-
chor of many books—Freedom Un-
der Planning seems to be the most
popular in the United States.

It is also interesting to note that
she was visiting Professor at Bryn
Mawr College in 1987, and at Bar-
nard and Columbia University in
New York in 1949. She knows the
United States well for she has lec-
tured here before. All students are
urged to attend what promises to
be a:most intéresting lecture in the

yvords of wisdom derived from

from the Latin “maturus” which
means ripe. Ripe fruit is spicy.
Therefore, a mature mind is spicy.
In that case, a student is spicy.
However, the student cannot in-

not assume the professor has the
same sort of spice that he possess.
Professors do not always have the

Infinite Classes

By Mathematician

At the meeting of the Bryn
Mawr Chapted of Sigma Xi, held
in Park on Tuesday evening, Jan-
‘uary 16, Dr. Lindley J. Burton, As-
‘sistant Professor of Mathematics
‘at Bryn Mawr, discussed “Infinite
| Classes.” After remarking that
‘there are class divisions. in all
fields of study, Mr. Burton began
his discussion of mathematical
classifications.

There is a one-one correspond-
ence between the two classes A
and B_ if to each element of A
there corresponds exactly one ele-
ment of B, and if to each element
of B therecorresponds exactly one
element of A. If A is equivalent
to A, the correspondence is refiex-
ive; if A is equivalent to B. and
therefore B is equivalent to A,
the correspondence is symmetric;
and if A is equivalent to B, B is
equivalent to C, and therefore A is
equivalent to C, the correspond-
ence is transitive.

NSA Distributes
Discount Cards
To BMC Students

Specially contributed
by Ronnie Gottlieb, ’53

The National Student Associa-
tion Student Discount.- Service
Cards soon will be sold to Bryn
Mawr students for five cents
apiece. All money collected will
go tovthe D. P. scholarship fund.

These cards were ordered from
the NSA by the Undergraduate
Council to serve a dual purpose.
They are to be used as Bryn
Mawr student identification cards,
for instance, in theatres: and: ho-
‘tels, and they are, at the same
time, to obtain nation-wide dis-
counts on student purchases in all
NSIA contracted stores.



In the near future, individual
catalogues listing these stores
will be distributed to cardholders.
Thus, not only will card holders
obtain benefits for which the Penn-
sylvania NSA has arranged in
this area, but while visiting in any
city or college community any
place in America, they may con-
tinue to buy more economically.
For instance, if you live in New
York, you can use your card in
stores there during all vacations;
while you..are.here, the Philadel-
phia stores are open to you.

The NSA Student Discount Ser-
vice is the substitute for the old
NSA Purchase Card _ system,
which had certain features objec-
tionable to Bryn Mawr, and many
other schools. It exists as anoth-
er example of students working
together on a national level to im-
prove their conditions. NSA in
the preamble to its constitution
states its desire “to guarantee to
all people, because of their inher-
ent dignity as individuals, equal
rights and possibilities for prim-
ary, secondary, and higher educa-
tion, regardless of sex, race, relig-

Dean’s Eye View
Tallies Torments

According to Mrs. Marshall,
there are three ways to take an
examination. Speaking at the
Wednesday morning assembly on
January 10, she said that students
may (1) study, take the exam nat-
urally, and leave; (2) join the
“They Must See How I Suffer”
school, characterized by dirty hair,
no lipstick, and gloom; (8). join the
“Gaily I Shall Rise Above It”
school. This last group will be
recognized by three battle cries:
“Who wants to play bridge?” “I
haven’t opened a book!” “Anybody
for the movies?” Students wishing
to join these last two groups had
better do 30 before exam time, be-
cause they take up a good deal of
one’s time.

(More seriously, Mrs. Marshall
recommended that students decide
on the main point of the profes-
sors’ courses before they go into
the exam rooms. Once there, they
should read the questions with ex-
treme care, and ration the time.
She also suggested fresh air, food,
and most important, sleep, as a
panacea for exam worries.





Vining Tutors
Crown Prince
In Democracy

Defeated Japan Needs
Manufactures
Market

Mrs. Elizabeth Gray Vining, '23,
spoke in the Dorothy Vernon Room
of the Deanery on January ninth.
Mrs. Vining, a member of the
Board of Directors of the college,
had just returned from a four year
job tutoring the Crown Prince of
Japan.

First Mrs. Vining anticipated our
questions and teld how she got the
job, following a visit to Japan by
the American Educational Mission.
The Emperor had asked Dr. Stod-
dard for an American tutor for the
Crown Prince, and suggested that
it be a woman (the specified age of
fifty was ignored by the mission)
who was a Christian but not a fan-
atic, and who spoke no Japanese.
In making this request the Emper-
or broke tradition, for the Crown
Prince’s education had always been:
in the hands of a group of cham-
berlains. Mrs. Vining was then
working for the Friends’ Service
Committee, and planning to write a
book, and agreed to take the job
only if she were sought out. Of the:
names suggested, however, hers:
was one of the two sent to the Jap-
anese, who were to make the final
decision. The military occupation
was at first doubtful, but Mrs. Vin-
ing insists that. the Emperor.was
sincere in his desire for the Crown
Prince to learn English and West-
ern customs.

This brought her to the question:
“What do you think of the Crown
Prince?” “He is a very nice boy,”
she assured us. When she first met
him, he was not quite thirteen,
little, chubby, and childish. He has
since grown slender, very poised,
and charming. “His mind is matur-
ing delightfully” and he is “intel-
lectually honest.” He doesn’t pre-
tend to understand anything that
is not clear to him, which was a
great help when he learned English
by the all-English method. His in-
terests, chiefly in marine biology,
have widened to include archaeol-
ogy and history, languages, and
poetry, as well as athletics.

At first Mrs. Vining had an hour
of private lessons each week, but
this was extended to three regular
hours and informal meetings. One
hour, devoted to English, was chap-
eroned at first, but the Prince made
greater progress after the chamb-
erlains left. During another hour
the Prince, and later a few friends,
went to Mrs. Vining’s house to
study and have tea. Mrs. Vining
also taught the Prince’s class at
the Peers School, which is now
like any private school except that
the children of the Imperial Family
still attend it.

The Crown Prince was at his
best with other boys, she said, and
got along well with them. For the
first time in history, when they
were staying at a mountain resort,
he spent a night in the home of a
friend with none of his retinue ex-
cept a bodyguard. At other times





they went on picnics with boys

Schedule Change

This year, as we all know, Christmas vacation began on
December 22, and classes did not resume until January 8. Be-
causes classes end January 19, the students have less than
two weeks in which to write papers, study for senior quizzes,
and do the necessary reading. Although some work may be
done during vacation, we cannot be expected to spend all our
time studying; and even the most conscientious of students
have a certain amount of work to accomplish before the end
of the semester. Because the length of time between the be-
ginning and the end of classes is short, the unfortunate pres-
sure that always exists at the end of the semester is brought
to a much greater intensity than usual.

Besides the academic reasons, there are other arguments
to combat a schedule similar to the one of 1950-51. This year,
there was very little time for Christmas shopping, for one
day can hardly be considered as sufficient, nor for the cus-
tomary pre-Christmas festivities. Furthermore, most of our
contemporaries at home returned to college long before we
left.

The schedule for next year, as it now stands, is practi-
cally identical to the one we are experiencing. It can be
changed, however, by a petition signed by enough students

‘gand submitted to the scheduling committee of the faculty.
‘This would have to be done soon, before the plan for next
year is irrevocably decided. If a satisfactory schedule could
be agreed upon, submitted, and passed, much of the incon-
venience which we are at present undergoing could be avoid-

Mrs. Caroline McCormick Slade, vice-chairman of the
board of directors of Bryn Mawr College since 1935, died on
January 12. Born in Paris, Mrs. Slade devoted her major ac-
tivities to-the fields of social and civic welfare. Besides her
position at Bryn Mawr, she was also president of the Nation-
al American Women’s Suffrage Association, a member of the
Hoover European Relief Council, a vice-chairman of the Unit-
ed Service Organizations, and founder of the National Lea-
gue of Women Voters.

At Bryn Mawr, Mrs. Slade was chairman of a great many
fund raising campaigns the college has conducted since 1902.
In 1949, the Caroline McCormick Slade Department of Po-
litical Science was established at Bryn Mawr in her honor.

Current Events

Common Room, ” Monday, Janu-
ary 15, 7:15 p. m. Mrs. Manning’s
topic was the President’s State of
the Union Message which, a little
late this year, was not delivered
until January 8.

The aim of the Presidential mes-
sage was to portray the present
peril of communism and to call for
national cooperation to meet the
danger. This calls for national
unity and the elimination of par-
tisanship.

Using this as a starting point,
Mrs.- Manning went on to consider
and analyze the situation of the
United States politically and dip-
lomatically as it is affected by the

levents of the world today.

In the first and second World
Wars the United States owed .a
great part of its strength to na-

greater degree than any other
country except Germany. Consid-
ering the diversity of nationalities
and interests in the country this

prehend the spice of an intellect-
ual.

When writing papers, one should
always remember one fundamental
rule-——keep the mind clear. Fuddl-
ing the brain with prolific reading
on philosophy, literature, or his-
tory is most undesirable, and only
necessitates wasting time with
footnotes. Rather one should ‘clear
one’s mind by a brisk walk of a
short duration. One in the direc-



unity was “something of a mir-
acle.”’

- At the beginning. of the second
World War, on the other hand,
Roosevelt was considerably more
interested in, world affairs than
| Wilson; had been, but. the political
,feelings of the country obliged
| him to hold “his rand. If it had not
/been for Pearl Harbor, he probably
| never would have overcome the op-
position to war.

Even today, the country as a
whole is united in the desire to
stop communist aggression. There
are, in spite of the great fuss be-
ing made, remarkably few com-
munists in the country. _Until the
outburst in Korea there. was not
much organized opposition (aside
from the Chicago Tribune) to Tru-
man’s Asiatic policy. The real
source of disunity comes from dis-
agreement as to means, not the
end of stopping communist ag-
gression.

The danger of the present sit-
uation lies-in the return to isola-
tion. ‘Europe may, in remember-
ing our desertion of the League of
Nations in 1920 and our precipita-
tion of a world wide economic de-
cline by the depression of 1929, be
inclined to fear our return to iso-
lation.

It is necessary to realize that
the present dilemma is a result of
failure of our Korean policy. How-
ever, we should not be as concern-
ed about the Asiatic situation as
about the European one, the dan-
ger of which is far greater. Should
the Russian army, which we have
reason to believe is already fully
trained, gain control of western
Germany, it would also gain con-
trol of the valuable and essential
industry of the Ruhr. This would
endanger our industrial suprem-
acy. Yet, if we arm the Germans
to defend the Ruhr, Russia has
threatened to strike at once.

The crux of the problem now is
to try to read the minds of the
men in the Kremlin. The present
division of opinions is based to
some extent on a different inter-
pretation of Russian policy. One
group, of whom Winston Churchill
is perhaps the most vocal, main-
tains that only fear of the Atom
bomb has prevented Russia from
striking at Europe in the last five
years. The alternate theory, with
which Mrs. Manning agrees, is
that the Russians would prefer not
to go to war because they believe
that communism will conquer the
world through revolution. There is
no real reason why the situation in
China or Korea should have chang-
ed the Russian policy, since com-



tion of the ville, stopping in +o

quirement. Not only does the stroll |

nature of the paper, which is con-
tinuity for quotes. When one refers

In ‘Bitter Rice’

By Jane Augustine, ’52

Bitter Rice is an Italian film
about the hundreds of women who
go yearly as migratory labor into
the rice-fields to work for forty
days at the backbreaking task of
gathering, hulling, and re-planting
the rice—a job which must be done
entirely by hand. Where so many
women go, there men go also; this
story concerns two women in par-
ticular, and one man. Silvana

glorifying in the lust she inspires
in men, proud of her pseudo-
American dancing to cheap gram-

Vanni, completely selfish, has

stealing the paste imitation of the
necklace he wanted. He then falls
in love—if that expression is not
too lofty a description of his feel-
ings—with Silvana, and he de-
clares his intention to marry her

dance club sent a group to Barnard
College in New York where about
nine colleges, including Bryn Mawr,
Barnard, Sarah Lawrence, Hunter,
and New York University, took
part in a dance symposium. First
there was a lesson from Mera Cun-
ningham who used to dance with
Martha Graham’s troop and is now
teaching on his own. Then each
group presented a dance or dances
from their repertoire. Bryn Mawr’s
“The Night” adapted from a pass-
age of the Koran was the only
dance drama, the others being







mostly folk and abstract material.

tonomous specialized agencies as
E.C.A., the Council of Economic
Advisers, the Central Intelligence
Agency; Colonel Beukema, head of
the Department of Social Sciences
spoke on the military bases of for-
eign policy; and finally, columnist
Joseph Alsop indicated the function
of the press and of public opinion
in the formulation of foreign pol-
icy.

Each round table met for a total
of about fifteen hours of discussion
and argument, and some of the
sections even had after-hours ses-
sions. Then on Saturday afternoon
we met in plenary session to hear
the reports of the panels: what
long- and short-range programs
they thought the United States
should follow in the respective
areas. All four reports agreed 9n
two points; that although we must
pursue a firm and consistent pol-
icy in the Far East, Europe is and
should be our primary area of con-
cern; and that the objectives of
any foreign policy must be Peace,
Freedom, and Security. Substan-
tial agreement was also found in
the idea that we must not oppose
a nation simply because its ide-
ology differs from ours (e.g. Yugo-
slavia), but should oppose only
those nations who commit aggres-
sion or who try to effect changes
by other than peaceful means. It
was considered essential that we
act through and with the United
Nations whenever possible; but
there was disagreement as to how
much we should allow ourselves to
be restrained by inability to reach
decisions there.

The more specific conclusions of
one panel were often inconsistent
with those of another. The Japan
and Korea group proposed that Ja-
pan be encouraged and aided to
become economically self-sufficient,
by reestablishment of her merchant
marine, by the revival of light in-
dustry and by “not opposing the
revival of some heavy industry”
(one of many compromise phrases
which actually meant entirely dif-
ferent things to different people),
by continuance of financial aid, by
encouraging reciprocal trade agree-
ments especially with the agrarian
nations of Southeast Asia and with
India, by encouraging exchanges
of personnel and information.

Politically, it was agreed that
we should ‘encourage a “stable,
friendly, non- aggressive govern-
ment of the Japanese’s: own choos-
ing” and should gradually decrease
the.occupational controls. It was
felt that negotiations for a peace
treaty should continue, and that
the Japanese people should be rep-
resented in such deliberations, but
there was a split as to whether
signing it now and ceasing the oc-
cupation would be consistent with
United States security at the pres-
ent time. It was unanimously

‘agreed that no reparations should
| be extracted, but that base rights

and right of transit should be re-
tained. Other than that, Japan
should have her four main islands,
there was no agreement possible
as to how many, if any, of her for-
mer possessions, such as the Bonin
and Ryukyu Islands should be
left to her. Somewhat inconsistent-
ly, the report provided that the
treaty should prohibit any con-
flicting treaties; and then went on
to say that although it should be
multi-lateral, if the Soviet Union
will not sign, it should go into
effect nonetheless.

In discussing the question of
Korea, it was accepted that the
United States “should remain in
Korea if the price is not excessive,
consistent with the fact that we
consider Europe our major immedi-
ate concern.” This again was an
accord on phraseology only, for the
group was split as to whether the
price is, and will continue to be,
excessive. There was agreement

The

Tuesday night, January 9, 1951.

In May, 1945, the American forces
came into possession of a huge
cache of partly burned documents
at Berchtesgaden which included
the of
daily military conferences held by
Hitler and his highest military and
naval officers. A series of these
constitute the materials from
which this book is derived.

-Much has been written and said
about the Tapetfresser by those
who were intimately associated

so direct and reliable a view of
what manner of person he was or
of how he dominated his admirals
and old marshals. The protocols
here translated cover 1943 and 1944
with three of the next spring, so
that the reader is present at con-
ferences which involve’ great
changes in the fortunes of war for
the Nazis. Throughout there is
plentiful evidence of Hitler’s per-
petual interference in matters of
strategy and tactics and of his
cynical distrust of his generals. Ti-
rades are not infrequent and are
sometimes vulgar and savage. His
contemptuous diatribe at von Paul-
us for having surrendered at Stal-
ingrad instead of committing sui-
cide is illustrative. That he was
vindictive is only too evident.
Four’events of major importance

take place during the period cover-

ed by these records, the fall of
Mussolini, the invasion of North
Africa, the attempt at assassina-
tion, and-the collapse of the East-
ern front. Of the war in the west
and. the retreat of German forces
from’ France there is less report,
but.one’ has a feeling that there
was an unawareness of the impend-
ing disaster to German arms and

little eognizance of the actual sit-

uation. Hitler’s vengeance on those |

‘who opposed him is only too well

known, but it is illuminating, if
unedifying, to read what’ he had to
say about Rommel, for example, or
von Kluge.

It would be an error to suppose
that this book is entirely a reflec-
tion of Schickelgruber. The Fuehr-
er is the dominant person but the
cast is large. Professor Gilbert has
given a list of the participants in
the conferences and when it is re-
called that there usually were some

‘twenty present, it is understand-

able that the list should be long.
The great majority are from the
general staff and the astonishing
thing is that differences in opinion
are very nearly wanting when Hit-
ler is involved. The title is well
chosen: this is Hitler directing his
war.

Those who are interested in the
history of the second irruption of
German armed forces in the twen-
tieth century can, by grace of this
book, be present at the actual head-
quarters of Nazi power and wit-
ness the processes by which that
relentless infliction of will was op-
erated. It does not explain all that
the reader may wish to have ex-
plained, but it will describe and he
may draw his own inferences. He
will agree that it is required read-

Observer

The difference between a pre-
vacation period and a post-vacation



the change is so marked and com-
plete.

Before vacation groups of girls
sit gossiping in the smoker over
after-dinner coffee, leaning back
with looks of great expectation on
their faces. “I just can’t wait ¢
get home. Such-and-such is having
a party and I hope to heaven so-

and-so asks me to go.” “We’re go-|
ing skiing in Colorado and I have-!|

n’t been skiing in so long.” “He
asked me to see that new musical
with him and I just can’t wait.”

Such are the general comments and

the general atmosphere. They just
can’t wait. When the 1:09 leaves
that Friday, there is a mass migra-
tion.

After vacation the girls crawl
back slowly one by one, as dark. |

‘ness closes in late on a Sunday

evening. There js little comment, |
except to best friends, and even
that is ‘limited. They sit in the
smoker with tired, white faces and |

a dejected’ look. “Oh, what a tre- |

mendotis vacation!” “Oh, how I
hated to come back!” “Just think | .
we’ve exams coming up and 1!
haven’t begun my reading.” There
is little conversation and in a few
days ‘reluctant text books begin
to appear as the hall settles back
| to work.

Metropolitan Opera Com-.

“| she played her

ping out from her static Wagner-
jian roles, she seemed freed from
| any constraint that these might
| have put upon her, and moved with
lightness and vivacity during the

evening. :

|
'

In the first act, when she plays
the part of a Rococo lady, she
made Octavian’s love for her 'be-
lievable, and her entrance and ac-
tions in the third act were perfec-
tion. Dressed in a long flowing
red gown, and wearing a lavish
plumed hat, she seemed almost
slim, and carried herself with a
dignity and grace befitting the
Princess von Werdenberg she por-
trayed. Vocally, of course, she was
without reproach. Her aria in the
first act, “Da geht ihr hin”, when
she mourns: her lost youth, was
beautifully sung, as were all her
other arias throughout the opera.

Der Rosenkavalier was also en-
hanced iby a new German soprano,
Erna Berger, who sang Sophie.
|This young woman seemed to
laugh at the difficulties of the role,
and sang effortlessly and master-
fully through the evening. Her
aria, “Wo war ich?”, sung with
Octavian, can only be said to have
been superb. Starting with a pi-
anissimo which was easily heard
in the fourth balcony, she increas-
ed to a forte which she held in a
manner defying her small frame
and holding the audience spell-
bound. Her voice was not only
technically fine, but it contained
warmth and purity which made it
|a pleasure to hear, Dramatically,
part very well,
| portraying a sweet and tender So-
phie.

The other principals, Baron Ochs
and Octavian were highly compe
tent. Baron Ochs, sung by Fritz
Krenn, was delightfully coarse and
comic, while Octavian, sung by
Jarmila Novatna, was suitably ro-
mantic and mannish. Novatna oc-
_asionally seemed unsure of her-
self, stalking about the stage as a
masculine Mariandel, and one
‘missed the certainty that Rise Ste-
vens gives to the role, but she
sang adequately and blended very
well with Traubel and Berger.







| The principals were supported >
by a large and admirably chosen
‘cast, who fulfilled their roles ex-
traordinarily well. The two Ital-
ian spies were suitably sly, and
von Faninal was appropiiately ar-
rogant. Kurt Baum, who sang the
tenor aria in the first act, delivered
the song with a flourish that only

Rare Whitman Volumes Add Interest: .
Now Displaved in B. M. College Library

by Claire Robinson, 54

The Rare Book Room of the M.
Carey Thomas Library is of special
interest these days, for there is on
display a collection of manuscrip*s
of particular interest to those who
know the elusive poet of the middle
1800’s, Walt Whitman. The books
in this collection include not only
early publications of Whitman’s
own works—many of them first
editions—but also books from his
private collection, annotated by the
poet. The books in the collection
were given to Bryn Mawr on June
5, 1950, by Julie Harned Pardie, ’39,
and Louise Harned, ’50, both of
whom are’ granddaughters of
Thomas B. Harned, one of the three
literary executors for Walt Whit-
man. Of the present Harned callec-
tion, 37 manuscript notebooks have
been given to the Library of Con-
gress, and the remainder, books
from Walt Whitman’s own library,
are now the property of the Bryn
Mawr College Library. There is a
letter in the collection, telling how
the famous Leaves of Grass came
into being. Written by another of
Whitman’s literary executors, the

letter states that Whitman had!

| said, shortly before his death, “T1’ll
kick the bucket before long, and .
you fellows will have charge of
things.” These “things,” later to be
Leaves of Grass, were first pub-
lished in 1899, and titled simply,
Notes and Fragments. The edition
preface states: “The notes printed
in this volume came into the hands
of the publishers in scrapbooks and
in bundles . . . loose sheets and
small pieces of paper of endless
sizes, shapes and descriptions—
some even written on scraps of
wall paper.”

Among the books which were
Whitman’s own there are titles
such as: Greece, Ancient and Mod-
ern; Essays—Speculative and Sug-
gestive; The Duties of Man; and
several volumes of Shelley and
Tennyson. There is one long pass-
age carefully marked by Whitman
in the volume of The Duties of Man
which may be a revelation of Whit-
man the poet and the man. It
reads: “It is’ possible to attain
such an exalted pitch of wisdom
and virtue that the soul escapes
the condemnation of existence and
merges its individuality with the
universality of the world soul.”

Full Mobilization Disfavored At Conference;
Aid To Chinese Nationalists Urged By Panel

Continued from Page 3

that the most desirable solution
would be a negotiated settlement;
that we should not condemn com.
promise as appeasement; that we
‘could win in Korea and still losa
‘out in the long run. If no agree-
ment could be reached with the
Chinese Communists, an embargo
on trade with China was considered
justified; but it was not felt that
the use of Nationalist troops was
advisable, although a majority did
provide. that the field commander
should have the power to make the
decision to do so. The Asiatic war
should be localized; but it could
not be agreed whether the risk of
spreading it should deter us from
strategic bombiny outside of the
territorial limits of Korea. Our
ultimate aim in Korea should be
to establish a free and independent
nation, but whether we should try
to re-invade if we were completely
thrown out was thought to depend
upon the situation elsewhere in
the world at the time, as well as
developments within Korea itself.

The China-Formosa group
wished to “encourage the develop-
ment of a government in China
which will be stable, and friendly
to the U.S.,” and to encourage eco-
nomic self-sufficiency in Southeast
Asia. Somewhat unrealistically, it
wanted to “aid the nationalistic
elements of China as opposed to
the Cominform elements,” “encour-
age the dissemination of accurate
information about the aims and
motives of the United States,” and
“re-emphasize .. . its warning to
the Chinese Communists not to ex-
pand territorially beyond the fron-
tiers of China.” More specifically,
it favored support of the U.N.
resolutions concerning aggression
in Korea; the attempt to negotiate
a settlement; and non-opposition
to the admission of Communist
China to the U.N. if it accepts the
resolutions concerning Korea. It
begged the question of Formosa
by saying that we should abide by
any decision of the U.N., but not
saying what policy we ought to
support while the decision is being
made. It was urged that regard-
less of the situation politically and
militarily, we ought to show as
friendly an attitude as possible in
order not to alienate the Chinese
people, and should for example
send food to alleviate famine con-
ditions. This was opposed by other
groups, who asserted that it is
folly to feed those whom you are
fighting.

The Southeast Asia panel felt
that the basis of any policy there

should be the encouragement of||

“legitimate national aspirations”;
that is, the support of those groups
which have the backing of the
masses of the people rather than

those which oppose the prevalent
nationalism and submit to colonial
domination. We should give finan-
cial and technical aid to the under-
developed Philippines, Burma,
Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaya.
As for Indo-China, it was agreed
that we should aid Laos and Cam-
bodia; but. that we could not con-
sistently support either the French
puppet Bao Dai or Ho Chi Minh,
the leader of the nationalist and

from the Village. The Prince was
“like a favorite nephew,” Mrs.
Vining said. “He was interested in
everything, ate everything,” and
spent his spare time reading a
translation of Gone With the Wind,

Mrs. Vining added that at one
time or another she had taught
every member of the Imperial fam-
ily except the emperodr. The Em-
press learned English, and talked



Communist groups. A strong mi-
nority drew a parallel between '
what is happening in Indo-China
and what. occurred in China; this
group urged that we give support,
at least nominally, to Ho Chi Minh, |
so that if (and perhaps “when”)
the nationalist element wins, it will
not turn to the Soviet Union and
become a puppet government, be-
cause of the former opposition of
the United States and the help of
the Soviet Union. In other words,
it was felt that we should not sup-
port indiscriminately any govern-
ment or ruler just becase he is
anti-Communist; but this view was
by no means unanimous.



The India-Pakistan group was
the least controversial, and devoted
the body of its report to a state-
ment of the exact problem there:
the intense nationalism of both
nations, with the religious compli-
cations; the terrible economic con-'
ditions, which makes this one non-
crisis area in Asia a possible future
ground for Communism, because of
its appeal to the hungry and il-
literate masses. It was thought
that we should help and cooperate
with both nations and leave such
internal matters as the Kashmir
dispute to either the two countries
themselves or to the U.N., although
we should certainly encourage
neacef'1l settlement.

In general, the delegates were
sober and even worried, more so
than those last year, according to
our hosts at West Point—which
seems natural in light of the
changed international situation;
there was little respect for fight-
ing for prestige per se; fear lest
we “save our face and lose our
necks”; and unanimous agreement
that the United States must build
up its military potential as rapidly
as possible, although “total mobili-
zation” was favored by only a few.
This military potential must be
amassed in the event of another
outbreak similar to that in Korea,
perhaps in Germany or Yugoslavia.

‘4with Mrs. Vining about the Prince,

since the Imperial family lives in
separate houses and gets together
only over weekends. As an added
part of the educational plan, two
members of the family came to her
house each week to study English
and have tea, and she even taught
two uncles of the Prince, who
wanted practice in conversation.
Turning from the Imperial Fam-
ily to the Japanese in general, Mrs.
Vining said that democracy is be-
ing practiced by some, especially
the young. The future and future
economic conditions will determine
democracy’s place in Japan. Japan
must have markets for manufact-
ures if she is to pay for the neces-
sary food and raw material im-
ports. Moreover, we must not draw
her into a war with Russia as a
military ally, if we would have her
as an ideological ally in the East.
Finally Mrs. Vining said that she
felt appreciated, and that she had
certainly gained much from her
work. People everywhere thanked
her, and after her contract ended

on October fifteenth she stayed on}.

for six weeks of solid appreciation,
including a two-weeks’ tour of
Kyushu and countless parties. “I
had received so much more than I
had given that it made me feel
ashamed,” she insisted. Every-
where there was complete co-oper-
ation, everyone was friendly, and
there was the opportunity to learn
about a new country and civiliz-
ation. She received all kinds of help
in learning, and even had the du-
bious honor of being the first per-
son to shoot some dangerous rap-
ids in the dark, for her host
explained that he wanted her to
have the “best time possible.” She
saw, too, what a country could do
with defeat. The Japanese have ac-
cepted defeat, and are analyzing
their mistakes and planning for
the future. There is no bitterness
from the war or the atom bombs,
and she feels this is genuine and
not just a front, for even the child-
ren are friendly. The people are
taking this opportunity to learn

Mrs. Manning Explains
Message of Truman

Continued from Page 2
Asia and other peoples are fight-
ing its battles.

Taft and the mid-western senat-
ors, counting on there being no
war before 1952, are opposing the
use of American troops in Europe
and are looking toward the next
elections to try to end Democratic
power. Dewey and Dulles, on the
other hand, are backing the ad-
ministration in their plan for an
international army.

Truman’s message was “perhaps
more remarkable for its omissions
than for what it said.” He did not
mention the Taft-Hartley Bill,
perhaps due to the fact that Taft
carried Ohio. This seems to indi-
cate that the workers of Ohio do
not agree with John L. Lewis that
they have been reduced to slavery.
Truman also did not mention civil
rights. This is because Truman
and his advisors are making a bid
for the southern Democrats. They
have, apparently, been successful.

was in the traditional style of the
opera, the highlight being the en-
trance of Der Rosenkavalier in the
seoend act. In this act also the
scenery almost fell over, affording
the audience a few laughs not or-
iginally intended by Strauss, but
since this is one of the operas Bing
has not yet touched, all was for-
given. The performance of Der
Rosenkavalier was, on the whole
brilliant, and once more attested
to the excellence of the Metropol-
itan Opera Company.

circumstance.” The SDS is one of
the means by which the students
in NSA are trying to reduce the
cost of living while at college, in
accordance with this precept.
The plan of the SDS in most
eases involves the individual cam-
puses’ contracting stores to give
discounts in return for greater pa-
tronage. (However, here in the
Philadelphia area, negotiations
have just been completed with the
Civil Service Employees’ Cooper-

ative Association by the Pennsyl-.

vania regional office which open
all the stores they have contract-
ed to students in NSA colleges.
This means that you may pre-
sent your card at their central of-

fice at 812 Chestnut Street and
get referral slips entitling you to
discounts from 10% to 25% and
80% at any of their 97 stores in
the central Philadelphia area. ‘To
make things easier we shall
also distribute CSHCA cards so
that you may go directly to the
contracted stores and not bother
with referral slips.

These stores sell everything
from cameras, jewelry, and clothes
to automobiles and television sets.
NSA actually encourages contract-
ing. stores which sell only neces-
sities, but (because of the conven-
iemce and immediate benefits to be
derived by an omnibus affiliation
with the (OSECA here, our nation-
al officers have approved the ar-



rangement.

Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests

Mangano Portrays Complex Role in Italian Film;
Dowling And Minor Parts Add Fine Human Touch

is gone, so are the wages of the
rice pickers. Silvana pleads with
Vanni to leave enough rice for her
fellow. workers. He evades her
plea, but persuades her, in his own
smooth way, to break the dikes
and thus destroy the newly plant-
ed fields so that the trucks carry-
ing stolen rice can escape in the
confusion. Francesca knows the
clever deceitfulness of her former
lover, and corners him with Sil-
vana, whom she only pities, in the
butcher shop. The tragic climax
is reached in a gristly setting of
hung sides of beef as Silvana, with
Vanni wounded beside her, his gun
in her hand, hears Francesca’s
voice echoing across the refriger-
ated room. She hears that the dia-
mond necklace she ‘'wears—her
wedding present—had been given
to her because it was junk—and
she takes the only way out of the
situation.

The performance
Mangano is outstanding among
the movie’s excellences. The bill-
board advertising the movie, while
unbelievably vulgar, is accurate

the former look sterile. Her act-

fectations gleaned from American
movies. The script, given to u3
briefly in captions, never elabor-
ates on Silvana’s complex and in-
tertangled motives, which makes
a story of violence peculiarly sub-
tle. Doris Dowling’s painstricken
face reveals more of Francesca’s
unhappy love affair than the ex-
pository dialogue. Her intelligence,
