Anyway, He's One Who Thinks
TNTO our office wandered a man a small, grey man with one
' eye sparkling through tiny gold-rimmed glasses, the other,
once keen, sunk deeply in its socket and worthless. He was spry
at the age of about 68 and his hands showed clearly the results
of many days’ toil behind the plow. His hair was grey, but
neatly combed his frame, no doubt, had been covered with bet
ter clothes during by-gone periods of prosperity.
Smiling, he handed us a few typewritten sheets. They were
covered with finger prints, marked with a pencil here and there,
as if they were most cherished documents of one who had la
bored countless hours and finally produced an hypothesis of
great import. We hadn't time to read them at that moment.
Should they prove valueless to us we were free to return them.
He hoped they would be printed.
"They’re food for thought,” he whispered. "Students may
profit by them."
This gentleman—a gentleman because manner made him so—
had spent much of his life thinking of a remedy for world con
ditions as he saw them. Perhaps he has been unaware of the
hours spent on the same subject by experts in political science,
social science, and economics. Regardless of this, here is a man
who has been pondering who is ready to offer his decisions and
suggestions as best he can. In a language somewhat incompre
hensible, vague, and none too well organized, the Emerald is
printing the results of his thought. Krom a man minus the ad
vantages of extensive education, with the interests of humanity
at heart, and hampered somewhat by isolation from other think
ers, his communication is shoved past the length requirements
and given a position in our columns.
Whether right or wrong, our friend has given evidence of an
active brain has thought for himself and has done more than
many have been able to do. That is, come to his own definite
conclusion.
Peace Light Dimmed
TJROSPECTS for peace reform dimmed when yesterday the
German National Socialist, or fascist, party walked out of
the Reichstag and refused to return as long as the present coali
tion government is in power. With them went Vice-Speaker
Stoehr, who gained his office because the fascists are the second
largest party in the Reichstag.
The immediate trouble concerns alleged Polish terrorism of
German minorities in those territories handed over to Poland
when Germany was bisected by t lie Polish corridor. It is cer
tain that Poland has attempted and is succeeding in making
her land taken from Germany Polish in language, thought, and
custom. Instead of the slight German or Polish majorities there
is now a very great Polish majority.
Nationalism in Poland has led to excesses; how great they
have been we do not know. In Germany too nationalistic feeling
is directed by the fascist party toward revision of the boundary
lines. The German party does not. cringe at the word War.
With the reparations load, a poor trade balance, millions un
employed, and a government-enforced reduction in living stand
ards, the German people are in desperation turning to the two
extreme parties. The Hitlerites continue to gain in local elec
tions- and Hitlerism is associated with militarism.
If Chancellor Bruening succeeds in surmounting this new and
more awkward political situation as he lias surmounted difficul
ties in the past, his will be a great achievement. Other coun
tries can aid in retaining peace if they will sincerely attempt to
weigh the truth in Germany’s complaints.
A Feather for Yale
TT was with a smashing issue containing Professor Albert Ein
stein’s extensive answers to a questionnaire of the Yale Daily
News that the editor and his assistants ended their term in
office. It was an enviable climax to a year's administration.
They succeeded in procuring from the great scientist answers to
the most elaborate list of questions to which he has responded
during his current visit to the United States. Their work was
published and praised by the New York Times.
Professor Einstein asserted, speaking in the third person to
the Yale student publication, that scientific research can have
only an indirect influence in ending the wot Id war and that only
man's determination can solve the problem. Man as a human
man as a possessor of foresight man with will and determina
tion is not ignored by the scientist. Much of the world’s future
still lunges on the inner nature of man.
No one lias escaped the sensation of lying awake beneath u
blanket of stars, mind rambling about searching for some hint
as to th. . 4_. or tut. at cl the ftuiveise, and sorrily gRing up
in despair because the brain becomes clogged with a whirlpool
of fantastic ideas. Yet, Professor Einstein sidetracks the ques
tion: “Do you think it will ever be possible to determine the size
of the universe, that is, space?’’ He says, “The question is not
sensible, because the idea of size is already implied in the word
‘space.’ ” We wonder, what is beyond space ? Perhaps science
may someday offer us a satisfactory hypothesis—one which may
allow our thoughts to rest.
Professor Einstein v/as not willing to go into a discussion
of whether there was a basis of conflict between scientific re
search and an omnipotent God. It would be necessary, he said,
to produce a volume in definitions before an exact discussion of
facts ''ould be begun.
We believe we are safe in saying that Professor Albert Ein
stein 1 eads the list of the world’s clearest thinkers, and that
the ed. or of the Yale Daily News displayed extreme good judg
ment, knowledge of affairs, and tact when he published such
a diplomatic questionnaire and extensive answers from the sci
entist.

EMEItALD-KORE CONTEST
We started this blooming review
of the radio contests, so I guess
we’ll have to finish them. So
here goes.
The A. B. C. program had to
do with the adventures of Minnie
the oyster, a romance of the rol
licking deep. It was inspired, we
suppose, by the college yell (raw,
raw, raw). It had its naughty
moments, tsk, and Ralph David
should have been ashamed to so
brazenly discourse of the facts of
life, and so forth, before the mike,
although, we must say, the stu
dents found it interesting. Lohos
! ki's violin and Donaldson’s piano
I filled in whenever the announcer
| stopped off to take time to look
j for the next page of the continu
ity. Ralph David sang and an
j nounced. We liked his announcing
| very much.
Friendly hall gave a radio pro
| gram which embodied the circus
' sideshow or something. The high
light was the recitation of the
Congo, a negro spiritual. This
poem, we might add, is twice as
effective when rendered in the
original Korean. A couple of bar
room bassos sang bells of the sea.
We managed to sit through the
j program all right, but it is dis
| conceiting to have a perfectly
(good baritone suddenly shriek out
ja high soprano note in the middle
i of a phrase. A couple of naughty
| jokes were used to arouse the in
| terest of the listeners.
The Fijis' jungle idea consisted
i principally of someone beating a
| drum in the distance to give the
i native effect. It sounded like a
broadcast of the latest edition of
i the College Humor joke section.
| (ft not only sounded like it, but
j probably was.) Dick Maguire sang
j a tenor solo, but he later made
amends to the listeners by giving
a really entertaining take-off on
the KORE announcer, Day Foster.
i Mo offense, Day, even the presi
I dent of our nation has been lam
j pooned. They also had a trio
j which sang a couple of numbers.
We enjoyed the trio very much,
j We could snut our eyes and imag
ine we were in heaven. Someone
remarks over our shoulder that the
j pearly gates don’t creak that bad.
; The program, despite this little
j joking, however, was perhaps the
} most sprightly of the evening.
; Johnny Smedburg, Con Ham
jmond. and George Pratt gave a
j radio program with the moral sup
j port of Beta Theta Pi. It was
j very good, out a solid half hour of
j piano is too much. A harmonica,
ukelele duet was put in by way of
variety, but the boys had difficulty
in getting together on the same

tune. Smedburg's 3inging got over
well for the first 15 minutes. After
that everyone was keeping an eye
on the clock. About four or five
more men like Smedburg and
Hammond, however, and the Betas
would have been right up in the
running.

A CURE FOR THE ILLS OF
HUMANITY
To the Editor:
In all the articles that have
come to my notice in the columns
of the press, and other periodicals,
I have failed to read one yet that
has a remedy for present condi
tions. So I endeavor to put forth
a remedy in my pwn humble state
ment.
In the first place, I acknowledge
and believe in the Duality of Hu
man Nature, i. e., that all human
ity has a higher Spiritual or Di
vine Nature, and a lower animal
or material nature. For ages man
has been cultivating the material
side of nature which is a self-evi
dent fact, and is in direct contra
diction to the teaching of Jesus,
the Christ, and all other great
world teachers in the past.
Now, what has man accom
plished if he gains ownership and
control of the material wealth of
the universe, and lives to be three
score and ten years old, then lays
| down and dies ? He can’t take it
j with him When he passes out of
j this life; he can't spend it; and
we all know that he has to de
! prive humanity of their God-given
| rights to acquire it. He hasn’t
j acquired any spiritual knowledge
| or benefits he can take with him.
^ It isn’t divine wisdom; it isn’t jus
tice to his fellow brother. He has
laid up riches for moths to cor
rupt, and thieves to break in and
steal, and we all know material
wealth is a fleecing shadow, an
illusion.
unrist said, seeK ye tirst me
Kingdom of God and His right
eousness and all things shall be
added unto you.” How many to
day sincerely believe, teach and
practice this saying? Let your
own consciousness answer it.
Brotherhood is a fact in nature.
We all come from the same divine
essence and we are all destined to
the same goal.
The real man or divine principle
of man is eternal, immortal, inde
structible. Now what is the real
man? Intelligence, wisdom, knowl
i edge of the spiritual side of our
I nature, which are the hidden mys
teries of life.
There is an old, ancient axiom,
“Man know thyself.” Hew many
of us are there today who are
really and truly studying the di
vine laws of nature trying to know
thyself?
Most all our scriptures were
written in parables, symbols, oc
cult sayings, and deep mysteries,
and by holy or spiritual men as
they were moved by the Holy
j Ghost.
Then, how can man expect to
understand the deep mysteries of
life in the present state of mate
rial selfishness ?
It can only be done by unfold
1 ing our innate powers of spiritu
| afity to the plane of development
I equal to the teachers that taught
the mysteiies, demonstrating it,
by living it in our daily lives; it
is within the reach of every hu
man being, without money and
without price, and there is no me
diator between your latent powers
and the God within you.
And I further believe it is neces
' sary for men of nation-wide repu
| tation, for knowledge, statesman
| ship, financeering, and a clear in
sight of the present economic con
ditions to appeal to the higher,
spiritual and moral nature of all

our public officials, from the
greatest to the smallest, to don
their spiritual cap, and set a world
wide example for the masses.
Our leaders, rulers, and finan
ceers have set the pace as far as
science has unfolded material na
ture; the masses have followed, so
it is up to them to set the pace
by developing, unfolding, spiritual
or divine nature, and the masses
will follow.
Let us go a little deeper into the
subject and ask ourselves this
question: “What is the purpose of
life ?” Is it simply to gratify our
material wants, passions, and de
sires, and are we really satisfied
after they are attained ? Do we
take them with us when we die?
Yes, the plants unfold their leaves
and bloom; life goes by; experience
is accumulated in thought and
feeling, and becomes the ripened
seed that the sower gathers to
himself as the body fades and dies.
Then comes another birth, and the
gathered seed of the last is sown
in.its turn. As Paul said, “What
soever a man soweth that shall he
also reap." This is a universal di
{ vine law we can not escape,
j Would it not be much better to
sow seeds of kindness, love, pa
tience, forbearance, and unselfish
ness, which are the fruits of the
spirit ?
