Frce Trade Only Solution To Japan’s

Economic Problems,

“The role of Japan in Asia”
seen from “the inside looking out”
and from the outside view in con-
nection with American foreign pol-
icy, was discussed by Edwin O.
Reischauer, Professor of Far East-
ern Languages at Harvard, March
7 in Goodhart.

In looking at Japan from the
first point of view, one must con-
sider her historical background.
In a state of natural isolation up
to the 16th century, Japan became
artificially isolated until the 19th
century. This artificial isolation
had to give way to the challenges
presented by superior Western mil-
itary power and a rapidly chang-
ing economy. By 1905, the year of
the Russo-Japanese War, Japan
had met these challenges, but now
found herself in a new complex
situation.

Previously self-sufficient, Japan,
after 1905, found herself more and
more dependent upon the rest of
the world, and resorted to import-
ing Western skills as well as pro-
duce, Japan was faced with a ter-
mendous rise in population (80
million to 90 million in one cen-
tury) and few natural resources.
ba Japanese presently produce

% of their food by not growing



Says Reischaver

s| anything’ for clothing, thus neces-

sitating large scale import and ex-
port trade. Japan has also tried
to solve her economic problem by
conquering other nations.

This “solution” ended in catas-
trophe, as seen by the. outcome of
the. last war. This method ‘will
not be tried again, says Dr. Reisch-
auer, as Japan can never regain
her former military power. Pre-
viously she had had a military
headstart over Asia, which she

does not have now, after the-rise

of Communist China.

Also, the conquering of distance
by man has eliminated Japan’s mil-
itary strength. It was mainly be-
cause Russia was far away in 1905
that Japan was able to win that
war. Thus, the only solution to
Japan’s relatively weak economy
is free trade,

This solution itself presents
many problems. The U.S. does
not make it possible.for Japan to
trade with her on an appreciable
level and also prevents her from
trading with Red China. Other
Asiatic countries are hostile to
trading with the country that in-
vaded them in the last war and
may not even be capable of doing

Famous Bryn Mawr Archaeologist
Reminisces At Graduate Assembly

Scholarships and archaeology
were the center of the Graduate
Assembly last Tuesday, April 5, in
Goodhart Auditorium.

Dr. Hetty Goldman, who studied
archaeology both as Bryn Mawr
undergraduate and graduate stu-
dent and who later bécame the first
woman member of the Princeton
Institute of Advanced Study, pre-
sented the feature lecture, “By-
Products of Scholarship.”

After giving special praise to
Bryn Mawr’s archaeology depart-
ment and students, Dr. Goldman
noted that the primary purpose of
her lecture was “to take a back-
ward glance” over her life of schol-
arship to see if she could help the
new graduate students. To fulfill
this purpose, she reminisced about
her various experiences on archae-
ological expeditions.

Pre-Historical Sites

Comparing work in pre-history
to an attempt, to fill an empty sheil,
Dr. Goldman quoted one~ scientist
who said about pre-history, “We
have the tub, but where is Diog-
enes ?”

Dr. Goldman’s first excavation

on pre-historical sites was.an ex-].

pedition to Greece. There her by-
product of scholarship was an en-
riched feeling for the past by
knowing the present.

In 1921 she traveled near Smyr-
na, Turkey, on an expedition dur-
ing Kemal Ataturk’s rise to power.
In Turkey, Dr. Goldman said she
saw “an old, disintegrated empire
transforming into a modern state
under the harsh leadership of a
dictator with vision.” -

Dr. Gcldman returned to Turkey
in 1934 as a director of the Tarsus
expedition, the only archaeological
expedition that Bryn Mawr ever
helped to sponsor. For four years,
until the war forced them to leave,
the excavators worked in a previ-
ously unexplored site which was

‘the earliest evidence of the Greek







Bronze Age. (The literary record
of the famous Tarsus expedition is
now being printed.)

Besides her work, Dr. Goldman
saw the effects of a dictatorship
upon a country. By his work in
education, Ataturk had _intellec-
tually awakened Turkey; the peo-
ple showed new interest in the ex-
eavations. But she also found try-
ing the bureauocracy of a dictator-
ship, as in the necessity of sending
a map to “Ataturk of where mem-
bers of the expedition wanted to
swim,

Before Dr. Goldman’s address,
Dean Eleanor Bliss of the Gradu-
ate School announced the fourteen
holders of the 1955-56 Resident
Fellowships, each worth $1850, and
the eight women scholars from for-
eign countries who were each given
scholarships .of $1550. 38 other
scholars also received graduate
scholarships ranging -from $600 to
$1150. Bryn. Mawr was the first
college ever to give such scholar-
ships to women.

At the same time, a Bryn Mawr
sénior, Alice Lea Baer, was an-
nounced as one of two recipients
of the $1150 Co-Ordination of the

iences Scholarship Awards. Dean

liss also announced Dolores Hor-
ey, an English student, and Rilla
Mary Phillips, a philosophy stu-

dent, as the holders of the Fanny

Bullock Workman Fellowships for
study in Europe.

Honor System? -
Bryn Mawrters are apt to put a very high opinion on
~ their own personal integrity, on that of their fellow students,
and on that of the more or less rigid honor system that cov-
ers them all. We used to feel that this faith, besides being
highly commendable, was: highly justifiable, but now we are
not so certain.

The question of stealing money, and the less dramatic
but equally criminal one of what might in other situations
be called “shoplifting” has become a serious problem on the
campus this year.. In Pembroke East the students were call-.
ed down to the showcase while the rooms were searched for
stolen money. Hall book shops have been losing money since
last fall because -students take things without signing for
them. “Incredible! Twenty donuts missing in one day!”

aid a sign in Taylor. And the Soda Fountain managers tear
reir hair when people do not sign for food.

We intensely dislike “preaching,” but it occurs to us that
if students are not more careful, or more honest, we may not
only lose the convenience of Pay Day, of hall bookstores, of
donuts, but we may also lose in essence the honor system
upon which they depend. We have no quick and easy solu-
tions to offer. But we feel that students should not express
concern on the one hand about individual losses to Undergrad
and the Bryn Mawr Summer Camp, and on the other hand

praise the successfulness of the system under which such
events occur. The two are not eo and should be
recognized as such.

Current Events

Manning Finds British-Americarft Discord Most
Striking Aspect Of Yalta Papers,
But No Revelation

If any moral is to be drawn
from the recently published Yalta
papers, it is that “playing a lone
hand” in international negotiations
“doesn’t pay,” whereas staying on
good terms with European coun-
tries should: This was the opinion
of Mrs. Manning in her Current
Events talk of April 4, in which
she discussed the content and sig-
nificance of the papers.

The “moral” comes to mind. in
connection with the question of re-
lations between the three powers
at the conference. Churchill work-
ed for a balance of power and a re-
alignment of Europe much like the
old system; Roosevelt denounced
the Prime Minister’s ‘imperialist
ideas.” They agreed on almost
nothing save the question of Po-
land, and from appearances were
actually working toward .different
ends at the time of the meeting.

Differences Played Up

The underlying differences be-
tween the U.S. and Britain were
played up to by Russia, to her ad-
vantage. In attempting to satisfy
his demands Stalin did have con-
siderable support from Roosevelt,
but from reading the papers one
receives the impression that Eng-



land, and not the U.S., was “on the

La

right track” in dealing with the
Russians.

The British-American discord
may be the most striking aspect of
what is revealed in the papers, but
actually little in them is new a dec-
ade after the conference, Many of
the documents have been publish-
ed or alluded to in other works.

Publication Criticized



A salient feature is the exact |
minutes of the conversations be- |
tween FDR and Stalin, as recorded |
by interpreter Bohlen. The dis- je
closure of the contents of these has
been the object of the greatest
criticism concerning the papers,
Churchill has announced that he
asked that they not be published,
and that there are mistakes in
them;. many feel that publication
should not-have come so’soon.

The issuance of the papers by
the State Department on March 17
was in accordance with a Repub-
lican program plank promising to
make known the truth about Yalta,
Mrs. Manning feels that unless
some sort of slogan is made of
them by a big power, the excite-
ment generated by the publication
of the papers will probably die
down naturally.



South Split Over Recent De-Segregation Ruling
Must Face “Moral Dilemma”
Says Schneider

The Supreme Court’s decision sg
abolish segregated schooling was
“just recognition of what has al-
ready happened,” said Mr. Eugene
Sehneider when he spoke at Cur-
rent Events in the Common Room.

It is still a decisive step—in
spite of what happened to prohibi-
tion. Southerners must face the
moral dilemma—the contradiction
between democratic and Judeo-
Christian principles, and the treat-
ment of the Negro now that the
law prevents them from ignoring
it. In addition, Southern liberals
realize “that the Negroes have to
be offered cofcessions if conditions
in the South are to be improved.”

Segregated education is “inher-
ently unequal”, ruled the courts.
It impairs the child’s ability to
learn, deters the development of
personality, deprives the Negro of
status in the school system, low-
ers self-respect, inhibits demo-
cratic self-development, stimulates
the prejudice of others, and stamps
him as socially inferior.

In the border states (Delaware,

West Virginia, Maryland, Kansas, | .

and Missouri) there have been the
expected notable successes with an
occasional nasty incident, as when
Negro children were forcibly kept
out of a school in Delaware.

The extremists in the deep South
(Georgia, South Carolina, Missis-
sippi, and Louisiana) say they
will never obey the desegregation
ruling, refuse to join in arguing

The program has been planned
to be well-balanced and still varied.
We are aware that it is some time
since the college community has
had the opportunity to see the out-
come of the group’s activities in a

advantage of it. Plan now to be

it would give dignity to the deci-|
sion, and join Senator Eastland,
who said, “Blood will flow.”

Georgia, South Carolina and
Mississippi have established ma-
chinery to abolish the public
school system since private schools
are not covered by the ruling. A
bill making it a felony to spend
money on mixed schools was pass-
ed in Georgia by a 42-0 vote.

The middle-of-the-roaders, (Al-
abama, Virginia, North Carolina,
Arkansas, Texas, Florida, Tennes-
see, and Oklahoma) are asking the
Supreme Court to.make desegre-
gation a very long term policy
and to take into account local con-
ditions (which means not forcing
white children to go to schools
where there is a very heavy Negro
population.)

Fenwick, Pickett,
To Talk At BMC

Coming to Bryn Mawr this
month under the auspices of the
Alliance are two important speak-
ers, Charles G. Fenwick, Director of
the Department of International
Law of the Organization of Ameri-
can States, and Clarence E. Pick-
ett, -Honorary Secretary of the
American Friends’ Service Commit-
tee. Both men hold distinguished
records in their respective fields.

Dr. Fenwick will discuss the “In-
ter-American Regional Security
System” at 12:30, April 20, in
Goodhart. Dr. Pickett will speak
on the general area of Quaker
thought and activities in interna-
tional affairs at, 12:30, May 3, in
Goodhart.

Mr, Fenwick, who taught at
Bryn Mawr from 1915 till 1945,
was previously a lecturer on inter-
national law at Washington Col-
lege of Law. He was also the U.S.
delegate to the Inter-American
Conference for Maintenance of
Peace, at Buenos Aires, in 1936.

Fenwick is a member of the
American Political Science Associ-
ation, and assistant editor of the
International Law Journal, in ad-

books in his field.

Swmore Gives

Pirandello Play—

especially comteliuted’ by
Joyce Cushmore, °57

The Little Theatre Club of
Swarthmore College, sponsored by
the Haverford College Theatre, As-
sociated, presented Luigi Piran-
dello’s Six Characters in Search of
an Author in Roberts Hall, Haver
ford, on April 9.

The play, ably directed by Bar-
bara Pearson Lange, was extreme-
ly well.presented, and was the best
production seen on the Roberts
Hall stage this year. The play it-
self is extremely wordy, and has
a tendency to drag at times. Ex-
cept for the first act, which is un-
usually long in comparison to the
other two, the pace was kept up
successfully by the actors.

The Swarthmore group decided
upon Pirandello’s play as a chal-
lenge to both actors and audience,
for it is practically devoid of tech-
nical trappings....All scenery ‘was-
eliminated, and only thé mininium ~
of properties, costumes and make-
up were retained. The group found
itself presenting an “experimental
play experimentally”.

Pirandelo presents the problem
of six characters who have been
created by their author, but whom ~
he has refused to put into a drama.
The characters wander into a re-
hearsal of an actors’ company and
beg the director to be their auth-
pr and let them play their scenes.

Pirandello has a great deal of
fun pointing up the differences be-
tween the characters as they are
and the imitations of them by the
actors. . The conflicts among the
characters themselves, in trying
to explain their situation to the
director help to fill in gaps in
their. personalities.

Each character is. stereotyped to
a certain degree, and sees the sit-
uation from only one angle.
Through their explanations the au-
dience is able to piece together the
story of their drama. Comic relief
from the weariness of the drama
is represented by the members of
the actors’ company and the di-
rector, who keeps insisting on the
correct staging of the story.

Laurels for acting go to Barbara
Behnke, who played the step-
daughter character. She convinc-
ingly produced the great emotion-
al outbursts and remained com- —
pletely in command of her role
throughout the production.

Christopher Lehmann-Haupt got
off to a slow start, but eyentually
produced. a. very creditable per-
formance. ‘Phillip Fanning, as the
father, had one of the most diffi-
cult roles, and was inclined to slip
out of character occasionally dur-
ing the many long speeches.

CHAPEL SPEAKER

Dr. Bertram W. Korn, Senior
Rabbi, Reform Congregation Kene-
seth Israel, Philadelphia, will be
the speaker at Chapel. Sunday,
April 17. As a noted author, his-
torian and editor, his numerous
books, pamphlets and addresses
alone have earned him wide rec-

Another. girl maintained: “It is
hard to believe that what talent
has been displayed in College The-
atre productions this year is the
best we have to offer at Bryn
Mawr. I honestly feel that I have
seen more true talent in’ high
school productions.”

“College Theatre seems to the
freshman a ‘closed shop’ +. ..Many
people continue to feel that they
have no real contact with the or-
ganization,” declared a member of
the’ class of ’58.

Then came some of the ideas
which were discussed last week:
“There is too little experiment, too
little taking chances with the audi-
ence.” And—

vo reconcilg these Opposing iactions
und to. mitigate some of the evils
«assailed in the returned quesvion-
uaires, would be to take aavantage
vi some of the suggestions we nave
.eceived,

lt was put forth a number ot
umes that what was needed at
sryn Mawr was a “drama work-
shop,” a class in which techniques

searned as taught by people me

vers of such a class could present
sor each other, and for anyone
else who might be interested, dra-
matic readings or excerpts from
sane plays which might not inter-
cSt the entire student body. Such
a class need not necessarily be a
part of the college curriculum—one
afternoon a week for study, like
vne similar group at Haverford,
and extra time for performances,
perhaps given at Skinner. Under
une auspices of an organization
uke this, works could be perform-
ed that would be written and di-
cected by the students themselves,
and “art” could be upheh “for
art’s sake.”

This, of. course, is not to say that
experimentation should be aban-
aoned in the College Theatre pro-
uuctions themselves. Four fine
plays, each of a different type,
seems a worthwhile suggestion and
one that keeps in mind the vary-
ing tastes and moods which a col-
iege dramatic group must cater to.
at-is true, in addition, that in any
production which College Theatre
gives, training in acting and stag-

Theatre’s Elections

by Helen Sagmaster, ’58

Officers of next year’s College
Theatre have been announced by
Jane Miller, president for 1954-55.
They are: Mary Darling, president;
Pat Moran, vice-president; Connie
Alderson, production manager;
Rabbit MacVeagh, head of reading
committee; and Linda Levitt, pub-
licity chairman.

“Madame President” feels that,
she has received a great honor in
being elected: “Even though I’ve
been in the ‘inner sanctum’ of Col-

that I’ll be able to work even more
closely with the group next year.”

When~ asked about plans for
1955-56, Mary replied. that she
would. like -to-give-more one act
plays and readings, as the number
of people at tryouts indicates a
a greater interest in College Thea-
tre than the regular productions
can handle.

Mary believes that by. working
more closely with Undergrad, the
drama group can achieve a great-
er coordination of activities, and
can interest even more people.
There should be a place for every-
one in some aspect of College
Theatre.

The reading committee will meet
before the end of classes, and plans
to have a tentative list of plays
for next year before summer vaca-
tion, They will take the survey:
into account in choosing plays, al-
though the ultimate decision lies
with the director.

“Inherit The: Wind” Ably Portrays

By Marcia Case, °5

The tamous pt Tal trial”
which took place in Dayton, Ten-
nessee, in the 1920’s is the subject
of the new play, Inherit the Wind,
now at the Forrest Theatre in
Philadelphia.

The original trial occurred when
a young school ‘teacher named
Scopes was convicted of violating
a state law for discussing Darwin’s
theory of evolution in his class-
room. In the much publicized trial
that followed the brilliant lawyer
Clarence Darrow argued for thé
defense, and thrice-defeated Pres-
idential candidate William Jen-
nings Bryan for the State.

Authors Jerome Lawrence and
Robert E. Lee have changed the
names of the central figures—al-
though not much. Scopes appears
as “Bertram Cates”, Darrow as
“Henry Drummond” and Bryan as
“Matthew Harrison Brady”.

Inherit the Wind is not a great
play, but it is a beautiful one. It

| closely resembles the actual trial

in that it is noteworthy not for the
profundity of the ideas in question,
but for the dramatic and humorous
characters and incidents around
which it is built. Like the trial, it
is a “show”. It has no message;
rather it is to be enjoyed, and also
to be interpreted for its..effects on
its characters and its time.

The play is set in Hillsboro, “the
buckle of the Bible Belt.” The ex-
cellent staging consists of a simple
courtroom, behind which on a rais-
ed level is the main street of the
town. The action alternates be-
tween the drama in the courtroom,
and that on the street. °

The people most actively con-
cerned in this drama, the towns-
people and Bertram Cates, take a
back seat with the arrival of
Henry Drummond and Matthew
Harrison Brady, played’ superbly
iby Paul Muni and Ed Begley, re-
spectively. The townspeople’s sim-
ple but passionate belief in the
story of the creation as told in the
Bible is given eloquence and dram-
atic force by Mr. Brady; Mr. Cate’s
desire to teach the truth as he
knows it, but at the same time
avoiding any conflict, is turned by
Mr. Drummond into a plea for
freedom of the mind.

Brady and Drummond are by no



~ Events and People | in Scopes’. Trial

means mere mouthpieces, but in-
wriguing -. personalities. Brady,
“that Homer Bryan who sang from
the West”, has come south to make
his last stand. He is warm, charm-
ing, eloquent, and the embodiment
of the “man of the common peo-
ple”. But the feeling is that per-
haps the “common people” are not
so common as they once were; that —
Mr. Bryan still has his speeches
but no -platform. Again, while

his sincerity of religious belief can-
not be questioned, his means of us- »
ing this sincerity definitely can.

Drummond, as created by Paul
Muni is probably as delightful a
character as ever appeared on
stage. He has a slow, easy man-
ner and most amazing shuffle. He
has a briliant mind ,a passion “not
for right but for truth”, and a tre-
mendous amount of humor, object-
ivity, and ‘wisdom concerning his
fellow men.

When these two meet in the
courtroom there is thus presented
a studgpf the personalities of two
famous men; the trial itself, with
its excitement and carnival atmos-
phere (frankfurters and ice cream
are hawked in the courtroom); and
the issue involved, namely the
right to freedom of speech and of
thought.

It is this last point with which
the play is actually least concern-
ed. Mr. Drummond claims that
“the right to think is very much
on trial here.” But actually, the
townspople are not interested in
the right to think. ‘The arguments
that both sides present are not
particularly profound, as probably
they could not be. When the trial
is over, Mr. Drummond remarks
to Cates, whois found guilty, that
his case has nevertheless been a
great victory because of the in-
terest and indignation it has
aroused, This would seem to be
unjustifiably optimistic. The towns-
people go back to their prayer
meetings, the school-teacher is out
of a job, and it is still against the
law to teach evolution in Tennes-
see schools.

The trial itself, however, is vast-
ly entertaining. In addition to the
battle between Mr. Brady and Mr.
Drummond, there is the uneducat-

Hoyt, Pruetts Hard At Work Meeting
Demands For Faculty Show Pictures

The physics department, which
was in charge of the photography
for Faculty Show, is still feeling
the after-effects of Profs in the
Pudding. John Pruett and his wife
Esther, who with the help of Miss
Hoyt took all of the pictures for
Faculty Show, in contributing their
time and effort have made it pos-
sible for a large amount of money
to be turned over to the new sci-
ence building.

Before spring vacation, 374 pic-
ture orders had been taken, which
meant that about $400 had been
collected by the department, with
expenses ranging around $150.
From here on in, however, Mr. Pru-
ett expects there to be a much

higher-profit-percentagé. ~~

Mr. and Mrs. Pruett and Miss!

Hoyt worked during spring vaca-
tion te filk-orders, and will. have a
large amount of work awaiting
them after ordering ends this
week. This time limit may be ex-
tended, however, if there is a great
demand. There is also the possi-
bility that color pictures of the
show may be put on sale later.
Mr. Pruett; color shots at the Friday night
dress rehearsal, while his wife took
care of the black and white pic-

tures. They had previously taken



a number of “set” shots-when the

Philadelphia Evening Bulletin pho-
tographer visited the campus on
Wednesday night. Mr. Pruett also
took a few pictures at Saturday
night’s performance, including the
famous “Maypole” scene. Alto-
gether, about 2/3 of the pictures
taken were placed on sale in the
bookstore. }

The physics department also col-
lected money for the science *build-
ing by taking pictures before Sat-
urday’s performance and during
the intermission. Mr. Michels was
in charge of fitting the proper
heads into the headless figures’ of
the Roaring 20’s, and Mr. Pruett
roamed about taking “night club”

pictures of students. _and..their——

dates.

Mr. Pruett explained that he had
actually not had too much experi-
ence at photography before under-
taking this enormous task, but his
wife Esther is a professional pho-
tographer. Mrs. Pruett, who spe-
cializes in animal and baby pic-
tures, first became interested in
photography when she began pho-
tographing her Siamese cats, which
she raises and sells.

Despite his newly acquired ex-
perience, however, Mr. Pruett feels
that he wasn’t cut out to be a pro-
fessional, “at least not after fol- .
lowing the Bulletin photographer
around.”

sionals amusement, experience and
confidence. Indeed, all types of
productions, be they Greek trag-
edies, Broadway comedies, or poet-
ic readings, are fun for the actors,
for we enjoy having the opportu-
nity of Amproving ourselves while
showirtg off a little!

Because .College Theatre is: a
student organization, it should
make the students themselves cog-
nizant of the fact that there are
vast opportunities for dramatic ac-
tivity, both experimental and prac-

| tical, right here on our own cam-|.

pus. A class in drama might im-
prove the quality of acting and, in
addition, serve as an outlet for our
desires to try out the artistic and
the unusual.

College Theatre’s role is to give
the college community an idea of
what’s good in theatre. It cannot
do this by presenting mediocre
plays, but only the best material
of past and present-day play-
wrights. It ought to strive for
imagination in production, not
search for Broadway smoothness.
Still it should never be content
with slipshod sets and anemic cos-
tumes.

In a college community, theatre
should play an exceedingly impor-
tant role. Making the student body
aware of what’s new in dramatic
writing and techniques, and, most
importantly, making known what
we here at Bryn Mawr are doing
about it, is very necessary.

For those who are interested in
acting; in directing, in,staging, or
in simply observing, there should

always be something going on, on

for filtered cigarettes. Viceroy pioneered. Started

Smokers en masse report that filtered: Viceroys have
a finer flavor even than cigarettes without filters.
Rich, satisfying, yet pleasantly mild.

Discussion groups were also held
in which common problems, such
as ‘participation, awards, publica-

and extra-mural programs were
examined by representatives from
colleges similar in set-up.

The other feature of the confer-

so because of their own poor econ-
omies. There is also the possibil-
ity that these Asiatic countries
might cut in,on Japan’s own trade,
and force her into “fine industry”
(lenses, china), thus making Japan
become “the Switzerland of Asia”.

Since the war, the U.S. has “car-
ried Japan economically”, Many
| Japanese feel that if there were
no U.S. sponsorship, they coulA
better their country economically
iby trading with Red China. They
also feel the U.S. is adding to
Japan’s economic burden by urg-
ing her to rearm. This causes some!
anti-American sentiment. “How-
ever, the Japanese have a strong
neutralist tendency since the last’
war, which was brought about by
the group in Japan favorable to!
totalitarianism.

Looking at Japan from the out-
side, or from our point of view, we
have to think 1) in terms of war,
and 2) of what happens in case we
don’t have war; that is, if the pres-
ent stalemate continues.

The situation in Asia, and Asia
itself, will be more important to
us if there is no war,.if we think
in terms of a longer time scale.
However, Japan presents an im-
mediate problem in the sense that

can produce a great deal in a near-
future war. “We cannot exploit
Japan for war purposes”, says
Dr. Reischauer. This would serve
to drive the Japanese into the oth-
er camp, although the reverse is
not true. China could make very
good use of Japan’s military and
technical “know-how”,

Throughout all of Asia there is
always the struggle between the
totalitarian form of government
and the democratic. Since Asiatic
countries have two classes of soci-
ety, the “leaders and led”, the
“cards are stacked in favor of the
totalitarians”,

Democracy will not -work_in all
of the Asiatic countries because of
the uneducated classes, but because

‘Japan has the educated classes and

groundwork for democracy, there
is a very good chance of its success
there. However, if the demonsrta-
tion of democracy fails in Japan,
there is little chance of its*succeed-
ing elsewhere in Asia.

“Inherit The Wind’? Dramatizes. Tennessee’s Scopes Trial, Features Conflict Between Freedom

Of The Mind And Religious Belief; Paul Muni And Ed Begley Excel As Contending Attorneys

Continued from Page 3

ed and far from unprejudiced jury,
the perspiring and cheering citi-
zens. Although the performance
tends to be played mainly fo
laughs up until the middle of the
second act, it switches to a more
dramatic emphasis with the climax
of the play: the questioning of Mr.
Brady by Mr. Drummond. It is
here that the downfall of Brady
occurs—but. not the downfall of
the beliefs for which he was ar-
guing.

Mr. Brady is laughed at by the
very people whom he is defending,
and this disgrace is greatly re-
sponsible for his death during the
trial. It is interesting to note that
while the country laughed at the

--statesman-because he -took his
Bible too literally, the townspeople |

laughed because he took it not lit-
erally enough. Brady, as Drum-
mond accuses, sets himself up as a
“prophet of God”, and this suppos-
ed vanity the residents of Hills-
boro cannot tolerate.

There are numerous other points
that might be commented on, nota-
bly the beautiful and moving scene
in which the townspeople, in a
prayer meeting, express their be-
lief in the story of the Biblical
creation; a young girl who is torn
between her father, who is the
town minister, and the school-
teacher; the cynical newspaperman
from the Baltimore Herald, who
has come both to champion free-
dom.and.to laugh at this peculiar |
problem in which it has become
involved.

It is the newpaperman who in
the end reveals Drummond not as
a fighter, but as a peacemaker. The
people have every right to their
religion, remarks Drummond, and
the fault with Brady was that “He
looked for God too high up”.
Drummond then picks up both the
discarded Darwin and the forgot-
ten Bible and goes back to Chicago.

Like Drummond, Inherit the
Wind is not a crusader, but is tol-
erant and sympathetic of the vari-
ous conflicting ideas presented.

And-what are the results. of the
trial? The-funny -thing is that

nothing really is changed. The po-
litical and religious beliefs of
Drummond, of Cates, of Brady, of
the ‘eitizens of Hillsboro are still
the same, despite all of the excite-
ment and drama of the trial. Des-



pite all the enthusiasm it aroused
at the time, we today from the
Scopes Trial have “inherited the
wind.” We have inherited nothing.
Except, perhaps a very lovely and
amusing piece of theatre. P
