Disarmament Without Strings
npHE practical necessity for disarmament is being pressed
upon the world with greater force each day. The specter
of unemployment and depression which stalks the world is due
to lack of confidence, said Frederick J, Libby, executive secre
tary of the National Council for Prevention of War, yesterday
in Villard hall.
He pointed out that Europe today is in the proper condition
for another war, into which the United States, because of vested
interests, cannot help being sucked. To establish confidence,
make foreign investments and trade secure, we must limit arma
ments. By the limiting of armaments, according to his reason
ing, confidence would return and in its train prosperity. Unless
we stop the mad rush of nations to outarm each other, it will
lead to war. We must limit armaments unless we want 20,000,
000 men to continue to walk the streets of the world out of
work.
The United States holds the key position among nations be
cause it is the wealthiest. Public opinion in America, says Mr.
Libby, is cold as yet. Mr. Libby put it up to college students,
' as intelligent men and women, to take the lead in awakening a
public opinion in America to the importance of such a vital
question.
We feel that Mr. Libby is sincere and he has our hearty sup
port in his efforts. But he stated that even the most timorous
need have no fear of disarmament since the wars of the future
are to be fought in the air; we are sitting pretty since in 10
years America will have more commercial planes than any other
three nations, and these planes can he turned overnight into war
planes IF NECESSARY. Previously he stated that the world
was becoming the unit. We feel that in making his plea for
disarmament “realistic,” he gave an excuse for forgetting those
ideals for which all should be striving. Disarmament can never
come on a sound basis if America, the key nation, hypocritically
urges the other nations to disarm and then reserves an ace up
her sleeve which will trump anything the rest of the world has
to offer.
If his purpose is to secure disarmament at any price, then
J^his appeal to those who are comforted by the idea of hidden
armaments (commercial planes ready for war transformation)
is all right. But when lie compromises the ideal- and not the
means—he fails. And in so doing, he probably compromises and
weakens that very end he seeks to attain.
Married vs. Single
JUST a poor working girl! But why not give her a chance?
" Now especially, during a time of depression, is the situation
brought more realistically to us . . . girls, young women, ambi
tious, willing and anxious to work, but no openings for them.
Seniors graduating from college realize this and wonder what is
to be done next to permit women to work when they want to.
Why not exclude married women who have husbands able to
support them, and give those positions to the girls who have to
~ make their own way in life? Of course, there are women who
have to work because their husbands do not, but that is a dif
- ferent story maybe the husbands don't want to get and try to
- keep a job. In the school-teaching business, steps are being
taken many places so that no married woman can be elected if
she has a husband who is receiving an income sufficient to main
tain two persons.
Just look around the offices and headquarters of business
there is a surprisingly high percentage of married women "hold
ing down" positions that should be thrown open to young women
who are in need of the work and the income. Now that women
have entered the business world to earn their bread and butter.
, it is hard to make them leave; they want their bread and butter
and jam, too.
The Thrift Fallacy
, OAVING money for the taxpayers to* the extent of over $1,000,
^ ood for all“the state institutions could not come without
' some loss that the students will feel and the taxpayers will not.
Classes would be larger than ever, there would be fewer pro
fessors, and less personal contact between the students and the
faculty. Standards would be lowered.
A letter has already come from one parent stating that, had
his duughtci been entering college this coining year instead of
graduating, he would have sent her to a college outside of Ore
gon. Other parents would be doing just that this coming year.
Can the slate of Oregon afford to have more students go out
of Liu- state to be educated and then help build up other states?
Can the stale afford to have a constant drain as the best young
people go elsewhere? Such a state would soon become stag
nant.
The saving of this money which is to be such a boon to the
taxpayer will not lower his taxes enough lor him to notice the
difference.
is this wise economy ?

sion. They stopped."
Depression Explained
Hoover gave an explanation of
this present world-wide depression
which Mr. Libby related. Hoover
believes that this depression is not
all economical, but is the depres
sion that follows every war about!
this time. The expansion of the
stock market postponed it. The
earth is still shaky with the fear i
of war. Confidence is lacking.
\\ ithout confidence, prosperity is
an illusion. Men won't invest in
nations that will burn up in but a
leu years. U a war comes there
\\ ill be chaos and agony and in
vestments will be worthless. Un
less confidence can be restored in
Europe, depression will continue in
varying degrees. Any little flurry
may destroy prosperity.
“No one in the United States
realizes how important the London
conference is,’’ Mr. Libby declared.
“The president won’t decide the
policy alone. His policy must be
realistic and must follow the pub
lic opinion. He can’t forget the
senate. Treaties must go through
the senate. Unless he signs a
treaty that the senate will ratify,
it means failure.
“It’s you intelligent men and
women, capable of creating an in
formed public opinion, that will
decide. The success of the confer
ence is necessary to your home,
your income, and to the prosperity
of the world. The United States
is so powerful that if she stands
with Great Britain, she will win.
We want drastic reductions in
armaments.
“It's our duty to future genera
tions to make this conference a
success!’’
EDUCATION BODY ASKS
HALL, KERR FOR PLANS
(Continued from Page One)
reports have been examined close
ly by the board.
In discussing his plan for re
ductions, Dr. Hall said it would
not affect the University medical
school. He said the University on
the campus at Eugene could stand
the cut better than the medical
school, and he discussed at some
length the need for money for the
medical school.
Dr. Hall also continued his plea
that the pure sciences be retained
at the University. If these were
taen away, he said, the institution
might better be called something
else than "University.” He said
while he had been head of the
University it had received $1,500,
000 in gifts from outside sources.
Virtually none of this money would
have been received, he said, had
the institution not been giving in
struction in the pure sciences.
Following the resolution in
structing Drs. Hall and Kerr to
confer and iron out their differ
ences, the board went into execu
tive session.

OLD MAID

Virginal and white
That life’s flame blacked in passing
But failed to light.

EPITAPH
Since beauty was to her the very
breath
Of Life, it is not strange that in
the night
She rose and followed when across
her sight
There fell a feather from the wing
of death.

POPLARS
The poplars along the edge of the
sky
Are like tall dancers
On a Grecian vase.
Their draperies flutter as they
sway,
As they follow
Their grave pattern.
And they tremble as if they were
afraid
The vase would be 'broken
Before the dance ended.
—Janet Fitch.
LIFE
Life—
A broken sieve with sharp edges.
Many men come from the very up
permost layer,
Yet shake through quickly.
Others find the broken places
And drop,
Screaming.
Some stay above the smallest holes
Until their greatness withers
And lets them through.
—Elinor Henry.
THAT GIRL NEXT DOOR
That girl next door has flaming
red hair,
A curling mop, vibrant with life.
The lure of ages of wanton beauty
In her face—in her swaying hips.
Frank and flaunting is that girl
next door.
They call her Helen—
And like that copper-beaded Helen
of old

Unitarian Church Will
Have University Day
The annual University service is
being held this Sunday at the Com

located at 11th and Ferry, accord
ing to Mr. E. M. Whitesmith, pas
tor.
At this time also a reception for
the 30 new members of the church
will be held.
Mr. Whitesmith is inaugurating
a system entirely different from
anything used heretofore in any
churches in the United States. He
declines to discuss his tppic at this
date, but promises to present it to
the students on Sunday, as it is of
vital interest to them.
“I'm afraid if it lasted very long
it would turn into a ladies’ aid so
ciety.”—Kathryn Manerud, fresh
man in journalism.
“I think it’s a good plan because
it gives the women a chance to
express their ideas and show that
they can do a thing as well as a
man.”--Jane Warner, freshman in
English.
“The very fact that the women
are editing the Emerald today
gives them some valuable news i
that they might utilize.”—Adele
Wedemeyer, sophomore in Eng
lish.
“I don’t think that an all-wom
en’s staff would be good all the
time in a mixed school, but It isn’t
bad for one day.”—Ellen Galey,
sophomore in English.
“I think it is a good idea, and
I think also that the women can
manage the Emerald as well as
any men.”—Gay Hamilton, fresh
man in journalism.
“I think it is a very good idea;
it gives the women a chance to
get a word in edgewise.”—Laura
Drury, freshman in English.
“I think it is a good idea. They
do it in every school and it gives t
the girls who are majoring in jour
nalism a break.”—Zora Beaman,
junior in journalism.
