Prizes of $100, $75 and
$50 Offered for Essay
The League of Nations Non
Partisan association, through * its
college and university branches, has
inaugurated an essay contest on the
subject “Why the United States
Should Join the League of Nations.”
Prizes of $100, $75 and $50 are
offered for the three best essays.
The contest is open to undergradu
ates of all universities and colleges.
Each essay must be no longer than
3,000 words; must be typewritten
on one side of the page; and must
be sent flat. Only one essay may
be submitted by each contestant.
The League of Nations Non
Partisan association is endeavoring
to establish branches in all uni
versities and colleges. The Uni
versity of Oregon has received let
ters urging that interested students
should start a branch on the campus.
The aim of the association is to
arouse interest among the people
for the purpose of creating nation
al sentiment in favor of the par
ticipation of the United States in
the League of Nations.
The work carried on by the col
lege branches of this league is
largely in the nature of meetings,
lectures, and debates to arouse in
terest. At present an extensive
membership campaign is being car
ried on. The membership fee for
University and college branches is
a dollar. This includes a subscrip
tion to the League of Nations
Herald, a paper' published semi
monthly. The local branch keeps
50 cents of the dollar for its own
expenses.

OPINION ON QUESTION
(Continued from page one)
the working class, or the slave.”
We of America do not longer formal
ly deny that the negro has a soul,
but neither do we extend to ihm the
recognition and dignity that Jesus
would say is due to him as a son
of the human race.
At Indianapolis there were many
speakers heard of other races.
Three of them were negroes. All
the negroes measured up to the high
standards of the convention in their
ability and persuasiveness. The cli
max of the convention seemed to be
reached on Monday night under the
thrall of a speech by a negro frSm
Africa, Prof. J. E. K. Aggroy, who
came to this country after he was
twenty. He spoke with a sweep and
eloquence that I, for one, have never
heard surpassed. It was electrifying.
It was simply thrilling to hear the
applause for his speech by the big
Texas delegation, that sat just be
hind the Oregon delegation.
Just one further word: here was
a great missionary gathering. But
so pressing was the race question
felt to be by the fifty discussion
groups that filled a great high school
building, as well as nearby churches
’that much more time was spent by
them on inter racial problems than
on how to convert the non-christian
world. They seemed to believe that
it would be futile to try to convert
the world without first solving the
race question. "Race problems and
war were the two issues of over
shadowing interest.
