Uncle Sam the Goat U\X/HY is it that, whenever a group of internationalists get ’ ’ together, they always decide that Uncle Sam must be the goat?” asks Representative Snell of New York. “Because Uncle Sam is not only rich but good-natured. He Jets the internationalists relieve their minds, hoping that they will feel better afterwards. He knows that a flood of words will not hurt him, for his atmosphere buzzes with words the year round. But no responsible person moves to reduce debts or the tariff in responses to foreign demand. Uncle Sam goes on mind ing his own business in his own way. He might fitly remark that other nations would relieve their depression by minding theirs ...” answers a learned contemporary. Such an answer is characteristic of the old belief (that we thought had been abandoned by every thinking person long ago) that the United States can exist independent of the rest of the world. The answer is also expressive of an attitude of mind that destroys our faitli in the ability of the leaders of this country to bring us out of the current depression. Abundant natural resources and a high protective tariff have given to the people of the United States prosperity of a kind. Natural resources are being exhausted, however, and the tariff has reached its limit. The depression has brought with it a realization that no one country can maintain its prosperity when the rest of the world is economically on the rocks. During its period of boom and prosperity, the United States took the lead in many social and industrial reforms. Its recog nized financial leadership put the country in a place where it was an object for admiration and study by the rest of the world. As a leader the United States now has an obligation to show the way out of a depression that may have been caused by her pet capitalistic system. We can look at it in another way. The depression in this country is serious enough for us to show some concern. It is riot beyond the realm of probability that the United States will be crying for help on her own part before long. The depression cannot by any stretch of the imagination be considered as confined to any one nation. It is a world depres sion. As its aspects are international, so must world co-opera tion be expected in order to achieve complete recovery. If “Uncle Sam goes on minding his own business in his own way,” the millions of suffering unemployed can expect no soon relief. The World Court nnHK business interests of the United States will demand her A entrance into the world court. American business will ulti mately force politics to give way where its own welfare is con cerned; it will demand the right to aid in determining interna tional policy. Frederick J. Libby, executive secretary of the Na tional Council for the Prevention of War, who is visiting the campus, voiced this belief yesterday. It is a growing conviction that there is too much at stake to keep international relations in the hands of politicians. Amer ican business has 17 billion dollars invested in foreign countries, and it cannot afford to jeopardize these investments by trusting their welfare to.a group of men steeped in the tradition of shady diplomacy and open warfare. International conciliation of difficulties in peaceful manner lias most obvious advantages to business. The old idea of quick ened industry in time of war was effectively dissolved a decade ago when severe and lingering depressions followed, particularly in tiro case of Great Britain. Prevailing peace is the wish of industry and commercial interests, and if politics fails in strengthening that state, business will have something to say about it. Confidence as a basis for world relations is the key to the attack on many of the world’s economic ills. Confidence will lead to sounder, more honest business, to saner tariffs perhaps no tariff., at all to an improved employment situation. In the old days, progressive merchants bought their markets with the sword. Now, the sword not only fails to open markets, but it destroys them as well. National self-sufficiency is a worn-out argument. Business the world over prefers to have international '• boundaries mean nothing more than the paved street which sep arates the concerns of a small town. It would have a law anil i order established for the sole purpose of furthering its interests. i Business interests must be peaceful interests. There are three things a university student finds impossible. They are J.nn—„ be..- getting up for d o'clock?, and studying on a sunny Sunday afternoon. WELL, WE GET A VAC ATION, DESERVED OR OTHERWISE TOMORROW, AND O T II E R PAENS OF JOY AND REJOIC ING. IV EEMS THAT THE'FE MALE MUD SLINGERS ARE GOING TO EDIT THIS SHEET TOMOliK >W, AND MAY THE I LORD BE WITH THEM. WE HEAR VAGUE RUMORS TO THE EFFECT THAT SOME ALPHA XI DELT IS GOING TO TAKE OVER THIS COLUMN TOMOR ROW', SO, PUTTING ONE AND ONE TOGETHER, WE EXPECT A LOT OF INSIDE STUFF ON THE SIGMA CHIS. * * * EPITAPH Sound a mournful dirge j For our old pal, Milo; Sez he to an Alph Gam ; Yer house song ought a be, "Sigh Low." * * * Which gives us a perfectly ducky idea. The next guy we get sore at, we’re going to go up and ask some Phi licit if he was horn in a barn. * * * | As this being dashed off, we’re I trying to get some spot dope on i the strawberry festival, but to no avail. Oh, well, it won’t be the first time that someone has col lected a strawberry in the men’s gym. WE DON’T EXPECT ANYONE BUT ATHLETES AND PHI DELTS TO GET THAT ONE. « « * . WE ARE CORRECTED For perhaps the second time this year we are printing a correction. Due to the force that has been ! brought to bear upon us, we feel that it is a wise thing to do. It concerns a little item that ap peared in this column perhaps two days ago concerning the Fiji hang out at Sow Meadows. It Seems that the Delta Gams are indignant because I lie Kappas were associat ed witli the place in the column, i when all the time the I). G.’s have been keeping the Fijis company out there. NOW, GIRLS, YOU BROUGHT IT.. ON ..YOURSELVES. NOW DON’T BLAME US IF A WHOLE SALE EXODUS TAKES PLACE AS THE MEMBERS OF ALL THE OTHER TONGS DESERT YOUR DAVENPORTS. Well, only three or four more articles in this column about the i Order of the O barn dance and the comps are ours. And we want it ! understood, Mr. Stevens, that when we go down that slide we want someone handy with a pair of tweezers. NEWS FLASH A last minute bulletin was just j flashed from the Phi Delt dump ! to the effect that Tom, the Piii -- Delt cat, just presented the tong with a litter of kittens. * * * No, you don't, we beat you to it. We just sent it to Ripley ourselves. * * * OUR TERM’S CONTRIBUTION Dere Mr. Editor: There here sororities is quere. During the elecshuns the gurls put there arms around me until I vot ed like they sed. When I finished, they seemed to forget who I was. I went to the dime krawl and they took my four hits and kep the change. When I got ail in, they hid so they wouldn’t haf to dance with me. I know a gurl from my home town and wen they was rushin her, they all treated me wonderful. But when they found out she didn’t like me, they turned up their noses when I went by, and I wasn’t wearin gym sox either. What I wud like to know, Mr. Editor, is they hippoerites? Gurls is funny. Yers trooiy, Ivan Urgeta Kickoff. * * * I’. S. Plese advertise for a date for me four the yoemun danse.. What costume wud you advise me to wer ? Ivan. Dear Ivan: As time is brief I will answer tersely. As to the first question — don’t be silly. As to your second query, as to what to wear, I would suggest that you go disguised as a summer resort. The women will immediately think that You are Rex Beach, and you know how they fall for these successful auth ors. Ta Ta, —Wetfoot. MIMNAUGH FIRST OF ATHLETES TO BE CHOSEN (Contimad from Page One) teristically went ahead and was elected anyway. lie has some very definite ideas on student politics. Oregon, he thinks, has placed pol itics on a cleaner and sounder ba sis than any other school on the coast. He contrasts the interest of Ore gon students in politics with that of California where only 2300 votes are cast from a registered student body of 17,000. At W. S. C„ he points out, there is usually only one ticket and that one backed by T. N. E., national sub-rosa fraternity. However, he thinks there are many weaknesses of the present system. One of the reform propo sals that Brian is backing is the elimination of the costly campaign ballyhoo pamphlets, put out by ri val candidates. The presidency of the student body, he conceives as an opportunity to render real serv ice both to the school and the state at large, particularly in view of the federal survey recommenda tions, and the possibility of the Classified Advertisements Rates payable in advance. 20c first three lines; 5c every ad ditional line.

A major in business administra tion, Mimnaugh has always had personal ambitions to be a business man. Because of his intention to settle in this state, he early decided to matriculate at the University of Oregon. Since his entrance here he has held a large number of executive positions. Besides his athletic prowess he has been pres ident of his freshman class, presi dent of the Oregon high school conference, and chairman of Jun ior Prom. In order to thoroughly familiar ize himself with all the duties per taining to his new office, he in tends to remain in Eugene this summer and study the problems of student government as applicable to the local situation.

Let’s show the cock eyed world that we are the best school in the state, willing to make the best of our lot. What’s half a million to Oregon? We’re will ing to help the board of higher education and make the most of our reduced budget. We are will ing to stick with our president, dig out of dusty corners sugges tions to help us all. We’ll stick to our governor because he is our governor—if for no other reason. Come on Oregon—students, fac ulty, alumni, mothers, dads, all. Why not have the deans teach as many hours as other members of the department? Why have pro fessors dryly reiterate outside reading? Why not have class room discussion the rule instead of the exception? Why not use the Emerald for or in the educa tional plan? Post assignments in it (regularly) let it replace va cated professorships. Why not utilize our school of education ? Student-conducted classes. Oregon is the best school in the state—let’s prove it. V-14. EDLEFSEN CHOSEN AS HEAD OF MANAGERS (Continued from Page One) no student may hold the position of junior manager of a sport for more than one year, and no stu dent may try out more than once for senior manager of any sport. The effect of this change will be to give the juniors in the respec tive sports a fair chance for senior managership, and to organize a compact managerial system for each separate sport. Under the revised athletic system, the man agerial staff will have an oppor tunity to function more smoothly than ever before.” Sloconi Speaks In accepting his position for next year, Slocom gave the fol lowing statement to the Emerald last night: “Next year, in accordance with the amendment to the A. S. U. O. constitution stating that the yell leaders’ school should be run throughout the year, I am going . and the FlOWERS are just exguisite* ALL WOMEN ADORE TO GET FLOWER* r FROM UNIVERSITY ...

From now on there will be two juniors and two soph omores on the yell staff each year, under the yell king. This plan will give the men a chance to con tinue the work the following year, if successful, will give them ad vance experience, and will put the entire staff on a more permanent basis. “In view of the schedule of big games which has been drawn up by the graduate manager, the new enlarged yell staff is going to do its best to put football over in a big-time way next fall.” A Decade Ago May, 1921 Edwin Markham, famous poet of the West, will speak at the Y.
