Pan Xenia Plans Banquet on Ship For Christmas Advisory Board, Members See Films at Meeting In Gerlinger Hall Pan Xenia, international foreign trade honorary, met last night in the men’s lounge of Gerlinger hall. Dean H. V. Hoyt of the school of business administration, and Al fred L. Lomax, sponsor of the local chapter of Pan Xenia and president of the international or ganization, were present.

The electric ship wks a one reel picture showing the enjoy able and interesting features of a trip from New York to San Fran cisco aboard a great new all-elec tric ship. Both of the films were loaned for the occasion by the Panama Pacific Mail line. CAMPUS LEADERS CITE MERITS OF CANDIDATES HERBERT HOOVER (Continued from Page One) Federal Reserve system—all to re build the most valuable asset to government and business, CRE DIT. * * * The Republican administration, under Herbert Hoover’s leader ship, has established the Recon struction Finance corporation, which has brought protection to millions of depositors in a per manent manner. And, above all, he has shown his desire to keep in tact the American home, the greatest of all institutions, by the newest of his economic remedies, the Federal Home Loan banks. These bulwarks of governmental credit will make it possible for millions of small home owners to keep their homes until the exist ing burdens are lifted from their shoulders. With such a sound program of rebuilding the business and the prosperity of the nation, and with such strong leadership and devo- ] tion to the best interests of the American people, the present is nc time to completely change govern mental administration — and undo all that has been done, and start all over again our climb to happy prosperity!

A new helm of government could never understand the trials and tribulations before our nation; and would have difficulty—indeed —in piloting the ship of state through the remaining rapids of disturbance to the peaceful shores of economic order. FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT (Continued jrom Page One) have told the country that the po litical party in power is responsi ble for the economic conditions of that country. That is a mis-state ment, but it has elected the Re publicans for three successive times. It should defeat them. A PROSPERITY PLATFORM DE SERVES DEPRESSION DE U.ofO.

The second general rea son is that a government, such as ours, run (or ruined) under the party system of government, must have two parties of equal strength. Only thus can responsibility in government be enforced. If the Democrats had as many votes as the Republicans, the Tea Pot Dome scandal under Harding, and the “Saint” Andrew Mellon capi talistic dictatorship under Cool idge and Hoover would be sum marily punished. Hence, abstract edly, in the interest of good gov ernment, you should lend your support to the weaker of the two major parties. Even an unbiased Republican could agree to that. Regardless of these two consid erations, however, a comparison of Hoover and Roosevelt, and of the platforms on which they are running, drives us inevitably to one conclusion. The Republican party’s theory of government, as advocated by Hoover and his pred ecessors, is to MAKE THE RICH RICHER, the theory being that some of the benefits will trickle down to the poor. While Roose velt is not an out and out liberal, he is progressive enough to win the favor of the liberal New Re public magazine. s * * On the prohibition question, Hoover is an apostate dry, an op portunist who has shifted his side as the electorate shifts. He has been condemned by every national dry association, and is not trusted by the wets. Roosevelt is a sin cere wet, who is opposed to the saloon, and favors local option with federal safeguards against smuggling. Even the drys trust his sincerity more than Hoover’s 1 opportunism. The determining factor in the election this fall will undoubtedly ; be the economic issue. Which par ty is best able to carry us out of the depression? The Republican attempt to pretend that we are already out is rather pitiful, con sidering the increase in unemploy ment -which President Green of the American Federation of Labor estimates has increased by two million from May to August, 1932. The Republicans helped bring on IbFrOfrUInirninDfAtlnlfrDminlfrLfnirnlrrDrnlffQniirniriiirnirDlfnirnira the panic in ’29 by advising stock speculation. Hoover now admits that the panic started in the Unit ed States. When he first discover ed the depression was on, he thought the best tactics were i to blame it on foreign powers, be- j ing confident that he could end it in a few months. But he failed to make even a dent in the depres sion, so, in May of this year, he reversed his position, and stated that the depression started at home, but that he had it almost ended by April, 1931. In that month, several large European banks failed, and started the panic all over again. The flat contra diction contained in his change of position, and the shabby political opportunism which it displays can not fail to arouse the disgust of the voters. It is on a par with Hoover’s other attempt to secure the toga of a national hero by bombing and bayoneting the men, women, and children in Washing ton and Plattsburg bonus camps. In attempting to picture himself as a strong man, he succeeds only in appearing as a somewhat sour lemon. * * * Roosevelt favors government control of all water power sites, and holds out the threat of public ownership of all utilities, provid ing reasonable rates and service are not furnished by private en terprise. This plan more nearly meets the American ideal than either the conservatism of Hoover, or the socialism of Thomas. Under Roosevelt it may be expected that the fiasco of Muscle Shoals, where the Republicans have built a power plant but are afraid to use it, will be satisfactorily solved. * * * Most encouraging is Roosevelt’s record in New York state. During this last year alone, he has saved the state $46,000,000 in taxes, de spite the fact that half of the tax es collected in the state go to the federal government, and have been greatly increased, rather than low ered. His determination to elimin ate every unnecessary expense is exactly what the beaurocratic na tional government needs. The comparison of the records Come Down This Afternoon! PRIVATE BOOTHS Enjoy a Sandwich—a Milkshake— and a Game of Bridge GOSSER’S 5GO E. 13th—Two Blocks Down 13th From Campus ft] and beliefs of the two men is complete justification of the strong swing of the voters toward Roosevelt this year. But there is an even stronger reason why Roosevelt should be put in the White House. Even the Oregon ian has stated that economic re covery will be delayed unless there is absolute accord between con gress and the president. And such is indeed a fact. ■ But it is also a fact that the 71st congress is bound to be Democratic. The Democrats gained control of the house two years ago, and every prediction is that they will great ly increase their lead there on No vember 8. Since congress last ad journed, the death of two Repub lican senators, and the appoint ment of Democrats to their places gives the Democrats control of the senate. The present line-up is: Democrats, 48; Republicans, 47; Farm Labor, 1. But the Demo cratic strength is really greater than that, for LaFollette, Hiram Johnson, and Norris have all promised to support Roosevelt, thus giving him a strength of 51 to 44 for for the Republicans, and the November elections are confi dently expected to increase that lead. Maine has already gone Democratic, and New Jersey and Colorado are practically certain to elect Democratic senators. The trend of numerous straw votes, in cluding that of the Literary Di gest, indicates that the Democrats will win many more senate seats this fall. And no Republican prophet is bold enough to foresee Republican control of the next congress. Therefore, according, even, to the Morning Oregonian's Republican eye, the country must elect a Democratic president if it wishes to see a harmonious pro gram to end the depression adopt ed. To expect the Democratic con gress to abandon its own views and passively accept those of Hoo ver is to ask it to abandon its own party and become Republican. Al though the Democratic house did sacrifice its own program to ac cept that of Hoover during the last session, it has been too disil lusioned with the results to do so again. * * * I have not considered the claims of the Communists or Socialists, because this is essentially a con test between Republicans and Democrats. Either Hoover or Roosevelt will occupy the White House next March. Regarding the facts which this article is all too short to develop, the only con clusion is: while you are voting 317 X No, also vote, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, YES. NORMAN "THOMAS (Continued from Put/c One) we are living in the end of an epoch. Not merely the economic collapse in the present debach but the general psychological attitude of the people show signs of the de cadence of our times. Our stan dard^ have been shaken, hope has turned to pessimism, and the whole country is sick of the rack eteering which is not confined to illegal practices but is natural to a society whose motto has been, “My son, get riches — honestly if possible." And now that riches disappear, and we are told that men starve because they have produced too much, the lethargy of our leadership indicates how deep-seated is the paralysis of our national will. If newspaper head lines are at all indicative, then drift in the U. S. is toward dis aster not real prosperity, to war not peace, and to outright dicta torship or fascism, not democracy. * * # Both major parties sat in con vention in Chicago and discussed prohibition while thousands of Chicago’s unemployed stood across the street clamoring for relief and held back by police. But did Movie Notes By BOB GUILD COLONIAL "Red - Headed Woman." MCDONALD — “Movie Crazy.” REX "Washington Masquer ade." Colonial There are a couple of highly moot questions to be decided to night and tomorrow at the Colon ial—First, are red-headed women different? And second, when is a blonde not a blonde? Jean Har low settles them both by dying her hair, crossing her legs again, and turning on the high power for the benefit of Chester Morris. Not that he minds. Nor does the audience, for Miss Harlow is quite a dish in her lat est, playing the woman who gets what she wants- devil take the hindmost and bother the conse quences. We should mention Lewis Stone, Leila Hyams, and Una Mer kel, rounding out a cast that does rather big things here. That is to say that they're doing big things if you like the Harlow—most do.

Eggs, rabbits, chickens, white mice and bedlam eusue, to the high delec tation of the audience. We’re of the opinion this was the 17-minute laughter stretch. Constance Cummings is looking a bit better every time we see her. You’d be surprised what she can do as a Spanish lassie. Her best line is “come here, Trouble,” in a seductive tone—He comes, as who wouldn’t? either party recognize its respon- , sibility? From the action taken, i we may assume that both parties J concluded their leaders were able to handle the problem of prohi bition but not that of poverty. Perhaps there is a little truth in their conclusion. * * * Why should a thinking man vote the Socialist ticket in 1932 ? There are three or four good rea sons why such a man should vote no other ticket than the Socialist. (1) It is a party with ideas, ideals, and a program. Consider the following extracts from the party platform; it is evident that they are intelligent and forward looking, based on a recognition of the need to remedy certain con ditions as they exist. (a) Six-hour day and five-day week. (b) Unemployment insurance. (c) Government ownership and control of banking, currency, and credit. (d) Public ownership and con trol of public utilities and the basic industries. (e) Increased inheritance taxes on the higher levels of income. (f) Reduction of armaments leading toward total disarmament. (g) Cancellation of war debts (they can’t be collected anyway). (h) Entrance of U. S. into the World court and League of Na tions. (2) The second reason for vot ing Socialist is the value of your protest vote.

In a Republi can government the only way of j ascertaining the will of the people i is by a protest vote for a minor ity party. (3) The third reason for voting Socialist is that you are throwing your vote away to vote any other ticket. If you want more of what we have now, you don't need to vote for it, you have it already. But if you are at all disappointed you can only vote Socialist. By November 8 there will be no dif ference between the Republicans and Democrats anyway. They came together on prohibition early in the campaign, their tariff planks are identical. Hoover ac cuses Roosevelt of stealing his thunder on control of the railroads and now Roosevelt congratulates Hoover for his stand on the bonus payment. We have only two par ties, the Socialist and the Repub lican-Democrat. * « * (4) The fourth and most obvi Colonial Theatre Contributes Sum To Fight Grab Bill Every Tenth Ticket Giveri To Further Oppose Consolidation Not only has the Colonial the atre contribtited a substantial sum to fight the “school grab bill,” but an additional method of giving to the fund was evolved this week by Glen Godfrey, promotion man ager. In discussing the plan, God frey explained that Wednesday and Thursday the Colonial turned over every 10th ticket sold to its patrons to the fund and gave the patron a receipt showing that ho had contributed the price of his ticket to the fund. This will al low the “Vote No” fund approxi mately 10 per cent of the gross income for the two nights.
