The Oregon Daily Emerald, official student publication of the University of Oregon, Eugene, published daily during the college year, except Sundays, Mondays, holidays, examination periods, all of December except the first seven days, all of March except the first eight days. Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice, Eugene, Oregon. Subscription rates, $2.50 a year. Out of the Fog JN a world where “whirl is king” and values seem to us to he broken down much faster than they can be created there comes a man who has lived a long, respected life of creative idealism and, in full awareness of the social, political, and eoonomic up heavals which have transpired during* 'His three quarters of a century, he continues to dream of an order and a beauty out of chaos. The sculptor, Lorado Taft, who spent Monday on the campus, holds that art exists to be seen, and his ideal museum would not only present all the world’s masterpieces in a profoundly systematic sequence but the museum itself would be an institution con tributed to in active interest and incorporated into the lives of the people. We have need right now for these dreamers, these men who have contributed vitally to America's cultural life during the past years. This is a time for dreamers—where there is no vision, the people per ish. Reformations that have stripped life of the very colors that make it endurable in a wild effort to produce a civilization that can be read into stock phrases are not worthy of their name. There is vision in art, it is an attitude in the light of which petty feelings and petty dissentions fall away leaving order and balance relative judgement and, for the individual, a life full of design and vis ion—and the proof of this last we have in the person of Lorado Taft, a strong, calm, crusader for his cause who enjoys each minute of his own existence and whose clear, bright eyes look on life in its full ness even while aware of its impermanency. We Pay and Like Ll ■^TTE'RE gullible, we Americans. This condition was never more conclusively illustrated than by the recently published findings of the federal trade commission after a six year investigation into the methods of propoganda used by the public utili ties companies. The commission’s report informs us that “no campaign approaching it in magnitude has ever been conducted except possibly in wartime." High rates have made it possible for a utility to “perpetuate itself through the control of public opin ion.” The charges made by the commission find that the consumers’ money has been used to “secure the good will of the press and the newspaper fraternity, ’ which is the most powerful moulder of public atti tude. But not alone is the press subjected to the will of the utilities corporations. 'The consumers’ money is used to sway legislators from passing laws that might be detrimental to the monopolies. Says the commission’s report: “The record indicates very sub stantial results both in increased public good will and in a decrease in the number of legislative measures to which the utilities are opposed." Greedily ambitious executives of utilities cor porations are not content with influencing the press and those who make the laws but even carry their propaganda into the schools of the nation. Superin tendents of public schools are inveigled into the idea of "educating school children into the workings of public utilities” by means of pamphlets prepared by the corporations. Propaganda is injected into text books, and in some states the books which con tain some censure of the activitie-i of the utilities are eliminated and replaced by others written either by professors subsidized by the corporations or by men employed by the utilities. Here is an example of bleeding the people by a veiled method and devoting a portion of the spoils to an anesthesia which is designed to facilitate further dissection of the public purse. And what did M. H. Ayleswortb, director of the National Electric Light association say? He said, “The public pays.” The public grants the monopoly; the public pays exhorbitant rates; the public pays for the propo ganda which in turn causes the public to pay the exhorbitant rates. We Americans are gullible, and our gullibility has done much in making the nation | safe for the public utilities. < A Test for the League A GAIN the world is about to witness the effec tiveness of the League of Nations. That body has announced that it intends to do something about the Chaco war between Bolivia and Paraguay. The move most generally expected is that the body will sever economic, financial, and diplomatic relations with the warring countries. Today they will hold a meeting at which, according to a League statement, they may merely view the situation and discuss it, and then again they may take these steps to reestablish peace in South Amercia. The theory of the severance of relations with the countries is absolutely sound. Neither could last long if all the countries of the world boycotted them. They would soon find themselves without the two main staples of a war, food and munitions. But unfortunately not all of the nations, and most conspicuously the United States, belong to the League. Thus the boycott would not be complete nor effective. The trade of the United States alone con tributes a large part to the continuance of this war. However, in the League we have a beginning of the consciousness of the need for cooperation and peace between the nations of the world, and while the immediate efforts may be small they are never theless steps in the proper direction. Complete world-wide cooperation and energetic statesmanship would add greatly to the present pal lid complexion of the League. “Mystery of Island Love Is Unsolved," says a headline in the Oregon Journal. We fail to see where island love is more mysterious than any other va riety. It would seem that Circe has a genuine rival in Baroness Elosia Bousque de Wagner, who is hold ing forth as the "queen of the Galapagos.” The Passing Show Dead, Dormant or Unborn? T IBERALISM, though it yet speaketh, is dead.” A negative debating team from Oxford and Cambridge did its best to disprove that resolution last Monday night, but its best was not enough to keep an affirmative McGill University squad from gaining the decision. Liberalism is dead and buried in both economic and political, national and international fields, Mc Gill men declared. Amid a general complex of fear, political bureaucracy at home and economic nation alism are gripping the world. Even in our own country and in the college field, liberals—those few who yet speak—look upon such events as the ousting of five U.C.L.A. students for communistic leanings "and attempting to destroy the university” and find it not good. Better teams than Oxford-Cambrigde would have a pretty hard time proving that liberalism has life today. The average man is more interested in eco nomic security, and the state is seeking prepared ness as a buffer against war. On many sides dem ocratic institutions have given way to dictatorships. Some might be inclined to think, however, that liberalism is more a thing of the future than of the past—that it has never really lived except in isolated cases. When the present is gloomy the past always looks a lot rosier. Tf you can believe that no crisis has ever been as stark as the existing one, you may bask in the holy martyrdom of being able to take it like no one else ever could. So it is that when gazing into the past we are apt to become a bit short-sighted and take liberalism speaking for liberalism actually living. Liberalism has spoken in almost all ages, but, practically, it has seldom found its way into being. In America today frequent speeches by “100 per cent Ameri cans” are sufficient to keep a lot of persons under the illusion that they are living in a free country. All this is based on the definition of liberalism which the debaters apparently agreed upon: that it involves freedom from bureaucratic control: or spir itual freedom, free individualism and the unfettered right of self-expression for all mankind. Did liberal ism in that sense have its inception with the Refor mation and the Renaissance and flourish for four centuries under the impetus of the bourgeoisie? Mc Gill debaters believed that it did. Did such liberalism exist even in the halcyon days of ancient Greece ? Perhaps the debaters should have quit wrangling over the question as to whether liberalism was dead or dormant find drawn up a resolution something like this: "Liberalism, though it speaketh, is uot yet born.” The Michigan Daily. Chimes and the Daily E' DITOR James G. Long of Columns yesterday in sinuated in his editorial column that The Daily may have played a part in the painting of Chimes tower before the Oregon game. At the start of this year Editor Long suggested that it might be well to revive former fights between The Daily and Columns, as it would increase the circulation of Columns. However, yesterday Editor Long sold 3000 copies of the 24-page, little-pig covered November number, so it would seem his motive is not to increase Col umns circulation, which is already circulating at a rapid rate. Editor Long nevertheless was wrong in his con tention. It is possible that no Oregon students painted those letters on the Chimes: it is possible that certain student leaders interested in rousing! spirit for the Oregon game were out late that night but The Daily played no part in the painting of the Chimes. The Daily was able to carry the story because it received a full report of what happened just after it happened, which was before the deadline of The Daily. The long editorial, which Editor Long indicated was suspiciously ready, was hastily revamped from a long rally editorial previously written. Only a few changes were necessary to convert it into an edi torial on the Chimes. Editor Long will try again in the December issue —Washington Daily. The Day's Parade By PARKS HITCHCOCK ' Arms Registration — JJY far the most sensible propo sition offered at the recent disarmament conferences, and cer tainly the one which would proba bly occur to most intelligent ob servers, is the plan offered by the American Ambassador in Switzer land, Mr. Hugh R. Wilson. Mr. Wilson, representing his country in the present conference in Gen eva, has submitted a plan for reg istration of all lethal machines, from pocket revolvers to the larg est battleship with an internation al commission that would regulate the manufacture, sale and appor tionment of these instruments of warfare. Sarcasm Unveiled Appended to this plan (which will come up for action at interna tional councils during the next few months) are remarks hardly calculated to impress foreign na tions with anything other than an “holier-than-thou" attitude on Un cle Sam's part. The proposition states that America is ready and willing to allow the commission to investigate her munitions business if other nations will likewise open up their back rooms. The ‘if’’ clause here would be obvious enough in any pact of this nature, and therefore in the United State's plan it comes as little more than aggravating sarcasm, a type of diplomatic innuendo for which world affairs would gain by the elimination. American Disdain kpHE chief, and really only valid reason why such proposals can not help but receive a suspicious eyeing’ from continental powers lies in Uncle Sam's past failure to show anything but a vague dis dain toward international affairs and their solution. Broadminded American citizens cannot fail to sense the proddings of their na tional consciences when our fam ous policy of isolation is mentioned. Long a barrier to participation in world affairs, the federal govern ment has gone blithely along its policy of independent nationalism. This policy, nevertheless, has never hindered Washington from stick ing a finger in the foreign pie whenever she thought it profitable. Like the late situation with the Soviet, however, all these communi cations, suggestions, actions, are cloaked under a pseudo-official standing, which can be construed almost any way you wish. Europe Looks Askance It is no wonder then, that Eur ope regards any plan proposed by the United States with suspicion; our president and last broad inter nationalist framed and organized the League of Nations, yet our na tion stubbornly refused to enter the group, thereby practically emasculating that body. Contin ually our foreign policy has been to take all and give nothing; we have demanded security without responsibility, protection sans in vestment. It is up to the present government to decide whether we shall pursue the fatal course of' fatal nationalism or whether we shall give a broader construal to | our foreign policy and aid in the J development of the rights of all men.

DUNN | DESIRE to inform this myopic sphere. It was not a sporadic case or two. They all did. If you require corroboration, M o z e 11 e Hair, in the Extension Division, or Isolene Shaver-Gilbert will furnish affidavits. When the lower floors were all painted and polished, the barricades taken down from the front porch, and the ladders to the second storey windows removed, the Del ta Delta Deltas could once more enter their domicile in the approved fashion. And here the counsel for the prosecution rests its case, as sured that the jury can have but one recourse. The Judge, however, will doubtless exonerate the ac cused of all guilt. But they did, just the same. When they all screeched in unison, how could one help rushing to see who was the last one murdered? As far as that is concerned, I myself once climbed through a Tri Delt window. I succeeded in find ing one that was unlatched and groped my way to the front door in order to let in their House Mother. We had been detained cussing the organization of a Thea ter group. Mrs. Dunn was looking on, prayerfully, and so was a bunch of mixed Phi Delts and Fijis. So that was as far as I got. I did not even dare look over my shoulder. All this was when we lived on the corner of Fourteenth and Al der, and the Kloshe Tillacums were occupying the house that was built on a portion of our original estate, to the south. We had to remove our historic barn from the lot, and also to see an incipient archard of my own planting de molished to make way for ‘Edna Hall,’ as its builder named the structure, in honor of a daughter who had been drowned at the head af the Mill Race. The name was long intact in the pavement of the ipproach to the House. A wag of i neighbor called it ‘The House of Ten Gabbles.’ X can not aver that this house gabbled' any more than any or dinary household of healthy girls. But I do recall many a happy eve aing when groups of Tri Delts would come in to chat by our fire alace. We even shared in their are-initiation stunts, albeit clan iestinely. Waffles, too, occasion illy went the way of waffles, Tri Delta-wise. But now there is probably not ane in the new house, way out on South University, who knows the jolly part we played in the early ife of her organization. Do you Delta Delta Deltas keep a scrap al aum ? Here then is a bit of your mcient history upon which to ap aly your paste pot.

MOW IN NOVEMBER, by JO ^ SEPHINE JOHNSON; pub lished by Simon & Schuster, re- j viewed by A. L. R.— Harking back in parts almost to I the terrible realism of Bronte’s “Wuthering Heights,” NOW IN NOVEMBER by JOSEPHINE JOHNSON yet reminds one of the soothing monotony of Gladys Has tings Carroll’s “As the Earth Turns.” “Now in November I can see our years as a whole,” says Marget, who tells the story. Years of des perately hard farm work, drouth and human suffering for Arnold and Willa Haldmarne and their three daughters, wild Kerrin, steady Merle and plain Marget. Someone has said that if Emily Dickinson had written a novel it would have been such a one as this. The comment seems true in such beautiful passages as: “And there was the double life, the two parts not within each oth er nor even parallel. The one made up of things done day after day with comfort and soberness, hard sometimes but solid—things you could lay your hands on and feel I that they were there: the sauce pans and heavy dishes, the thick cups and the five beds to be made —things without any more mys tery than the noon sun had.
