Shaw Lecturer Describes

French Africa’s Economy

On Tuesday, April the third,
‘the first of two Anna Howard
Shaw Lectures on Africa was given
by M. André Philip, a professor at
the University of Paris, and for-
mer French government official. .

M. Philip spoke on “France and
Africa,” considering the eighteen
newly-independent African nations,
linked, with one exception (that of
Russian-oriented Guinea) to the
former mother country by ties of
friendship and of economic neces-
sity, replacing the former French
Union: M. Philip mentioned four

~ Williams Deplores
- Plt Of Migrant,



- Legislative Apathy]

With candor, humor, and earnest-
ness, Senator Harrison A. Williams,
Jr. of New Jersey spoke Monday to
the students of Bryn Mawr on “At-
titudes Toward Social Legislation in

“the U.S. Today.” Senator Williams,

in-the~ 12:30: Goodhart lecture spon-
sored by Alliance, considered some
of the problems our affluent society
has not yet solved,

Among ‘these problems are aid ‘to
education; ~ old-age“ care, “urban -de-
velopment,.-and assistance’ to those
people caught in the dynamics of a

—changing economy. _Senator-Williams,

Chairman of the Senate’ Subcommit-
tee on. Migratory Labor, spoke par-
ticularly of the problems of the two
-million migrant farm workers who
follow: the ‘crops across. the country
each yedr. :
Migrant :workers,, who earn less
than one thousand dollars a year,
suffer from ignorance, poverty, and
disease. The Williams Subcommit-
tee on Migratory Labor passed five
bills through the Senate last sum-
mer to provide funds for health, and

' education measures, to require regis-

__tration -of migrant labor. contractors,.
to restrict agricultural child labor,
and to establish .a national advisory
committee on migratory labor. ~~

Senator Wifliams stressed the need
for’ our society to~-place emphasis on
what is important, such as educa-
tion, rather than on frivolous niat-
ters. Our attention must directed

toward what America is becoming,’

Senator Williams declared.
In answering questions from the
students, Senator Williams _provid-

‘prerequisites’ for ‘economic devel-
opment and stablity..The first of
these prerequisites, political .inde-
pendence, has already been achieved.
The second, agrarian. reform,
would. involve reorganization .of
the “inner market” for agricultur-
al products, while the third,. sta-
bilization of prices of African ex-
ported raw. materials, would re-
quire the creation of an “organized
European market,’ giving prefer-
ential ‘treatment to these pro-
ducts. The fourth prerequisite, the
presence of men capable of carry-
jing out the program of economic

achieved by the training of pro-

universities. A, “middle class” in
these countries will be composed of
graduates of secondary and _tech-
nical schools, in both in and
Africa. ' “

After the fulfillment of these
four prerequisites, the question of
the typeof economic reorganiza-
tion. which will best suit the needs
of the African nations remains to be
considered. Industrialization will
be accomplished with difficulty. “A
new social order has seldom been
created through an uncontrolled
profit motive alone, asserted M.
Philip. Both native and. foreign

vest the necessary funds in the
development of French Africa.
The most important “native cap-
ital” ‘of Africa, ‘however, is the
manpower of the villagers, during
the ‘hundred days in- the year
when they are not occupied with
their’ fields. Business. enterprise
under outside leadership should be
encouraged only if “pilot indus-

Friedman Focuses
On A “Libertarian”
Point Of Approach

by Lora McMeekin.’63

Tuesday evening Bryn Mawr stu-
dents had the opportunity of hear-
ing the economist, Milton Friedman

of the University of Chicago. Mr.
Friedman, although identified by
many as. a Conservative, prefers to
call himself a Libertarian. 4

In his opening statement he ex-
plained the premises upon which
Libertarians base their arguments.
A Libertarian, who is actually a
nineteenth century liberal like Ri-

considers freedom to be the ultimate
value for it-is- under freedom that
the individual can_ best realize. his
potential. The Libertarian realizes
‘that man is imperfect, that he would,
if permitted, put his own interests

first to the detrime others. How
then can ‘the greatest amount of
freedom be preserved? As the great-

est danger to freedom is concentrat-
ed power, its dispersion is of para-
mount importance. This is best ac-
complished—through—the- maintenance
of-organizations which, while. accom-.
plishing required ends, do not neces-
‘sitate. the centralization .of power.
Questions from the audience rang-
ed over a variety of policy programs..

Bonnie Kevles ’62

The final performance of the
Bryn Mawr-Haverford production
of “Love’s Labour’s Lost” demon-
strated beyond the limits of a
reader’s imagination the immea-
surable-quantities-of sarcastic wit
stored in the last two acts. Coinci-
dentally, the performers (with not-
able exception) portrayed more
deeply “conceived characterizations |:
in these acts ,highlighted by ‘the
ascetics’ reading ‘of love - sonnets,
the Myscovite Masquerade and im-
personations by the so-called Wor-
thies.

In the eavesdropping scene where
the earthy set with its surrealistic
backdrop revealed its thigh func-
tional value, Ted Hauri’s mockery
of the amorous academicians con-
“veyed the worldly realistic Berowne
more than earlier scenes where. his
capering walk distracted from the
enjoyment of ‘his mobile facial ex-
pressions. Like Peter Lary who
played the’ King of Navarre,” Mr.
Hauri’s conception of his charac-
ter grew with his character’s per-
ception of love and. in Berowne’s
plea that “womeri’s eyes... are
the books ...-That... nourish all
the world,” Mr. Hauri offered _Good-
hart audience a rare moment in
theatre. He became Berowne, and
the theatre, his court of listeners.

and amusingly retained his pul-

Tonight Louis Henkin Keynotes :
Series on “Can Man Survive?” ~~

the University of "Posnayivarila and
currently visiting Lecturer in Politi-
cal Science at Bryn Mawr will open
a series of programs on “Can Man
Survive ?”—a study of war and peace
in the nuclear age.
| His keynote address will, discuss
the°role of the individual and the
academic community in our present
dilemma and raise some of the ques-
tions to be explored in the ‘panels
of the following weeks.

These panels, consisting of ‘both
faculty and students, will attempt
te analyze and define some of the

ying paints of view. Scientists, his-

entists,
will cover a wide range of approach-
es in the hopes of stimulating en-
lightened and informed thought. An
open discussion will follow each ses-
sion.

On April 19 “The Consequences of
Nuclear Weapons” will be consider-
ed, including such questions as ‘the
effects of living with a demoraliz-
‘ing fear; ~~changed™ conceptions of
“War” and “Peace,” the contention
that. these are matters only for “ex
perts” and other ramifications of the
topic. ‘The secorfd panel, April 23,
on “The Logie of the Deterrent,”

aM | will’ define and examine such phras-

esas “deterrent” itself, coufiter-
force, ‘arms control and the First

nel on “Alternatives to the Arms
Race” will consider which must come

| presuppositions about ’ Russian aims

and the nature of: trust.
