Will Dr. de Villiers
Please Make It Clear?
SINCE Dr. Cornelius de Villiers has been a
guest speaker on the campus he has strongly
emphasized the justice of the Italian policy in
Ethiopia. While Italian blackshirts pour into
Ethiopia and Mussolini openly defies the world,
Dr. de Villiers claims that Ifaly is maligned. Dr.
de Villiers declares that there is no room for
Italy to expand in Europe, and since Italy must
have land what is she to do if she doesn’t take
Ethiopia? Does Dr. de Villiers represent the
Carnegie Peace Foundation?
What does Dr. de Villiers think about Japan?
Japan too, is over populated and must expand.
What will she do if she doesn’t take China? Is it
possible that Dr. de Villiers means economic
profit ? Do the rich mineral deposits in Ethiopia
or the vast coal and iron fields of China serve
as an incentive to expansion? Japanese will not
live in Manchukuo. Will the Italians live in black
Ethiopia with her warring tribes ?
Is the Carnegie Peace Foundation trying to
prevent agitation in this country against Italy
in order to prevent a world war? If so, what
does it think of the president's embargo on U. S.
shipments of munitions to the belligerents ? Or
is the Carnegie Peace Foundation attempting to
justify the act of one country in conquering
another whether it be for the purpose of "civiliz
ing” that country, or for the purposes of ex
pansion ? And if this is the case, why do they
call it a peace foundation ? Perhaps Ethiopia is
violating the peace of Africa.
Dr. de Villiers should state the facts. At
present he has succeeded only in confusing the
students of the campus who are inclined to be
lieve that regardless of the motivation, a nation
that sends an armed force into another nation
in offensive war and defies openly and arrogantly
the rest of the world, is committing a distinctly
unfriendly act. Regardless of motive, when the
nations of the world become so civilized as to sit
on their arms of war and apply economic and
financial sanctions to an aggressor is it not a
mark of progress ?
Should a future fascist United States ever
sink to the verge of bankruptcy would the Car
negie Peace Foundation excuse her for "expand
ing” south into Mexico?
And isn’t it slightly inconsistent that Italy
should cry loudly for expansion and continue to
encourage II Duce’s subjects to turn out little
bambinos by the gross ? There are more scientific
ways to control such expansion. Dr. de Villiers
is not only a representative of the Carnegie Peace
Foundation but un established biological scientist.
Would he please go to the bottom of this
anil explain his new idea of peace ?
Will Tariff Fight Prove
Political Boomerang?
WHEN such vitally important issues as public
utilities, price fixing, social security, gov
ernment spending, and the constitution are at
stake it is disheartening to see certain. North
west newspapers grabbing at the Canadian recip
rocal treaty for their political hatchet.
Naturally the lumber item has been singled
out as the spearhead of attack. Under the treaty
upwards to 250,000,000 board feet of Canadian
timber may be imported into this country yearly
at a 50 per cent tariff reduction.
The editors of the papers who are shouting
the loudest surely realize that there is no eco
nomic justification for blowing up the issue to
the magnitude they have succeeded in giving it.
250,000,00 board feet is less than one per cent
of the national demand for lumber. One large mill
in this state could easily produce that amount in
a year.
With defense of the lumber industry as a
camoflage several Northwest papers have seen
some political ammunition in the tariff issue and
have loaded their guns and pointed them at
Roosevelt.
But they have not inquired closely as to just
why that ammunition was there. The tariff has
been a successful campaign plank before this.
Grasping for an issue, some partisan papers in
dicate they might turn to tariff again.
This tariff ammunition may explode in the
breech. If Roosevelt could succeed in making
tariff the major issue, shoving the New Deal
policies, past, present and future, into the back
ground, he would stand a good chance of win
ning the next elections in a walk. If he can gloss
over what apparently are his most vulnerable
points and make tariff the political question,
things would look brighter.
The really essential considerations are being
clouded over by a deluge of politically pointed
propaganda. This propaganda may chop off a
few Roosevelt votes in the Northwest, but sadly
enough it may harm the very industry it purports
to champion.
By reading this propaganda eastern buyers
are likely to get the impression that (notwith
standing possible benefits to be derived from the
Canadian treaty) the Northwest lumber industry
is so shaky it cannot stand having less than one
per cent of its market taken away. Investors are
loathe to deal with a supposedly shaky industry.
Other Editors’ Opinions
'"'['"'HOSE who oppose communism, or any of
the other isms for that matter, should not
be afraid to grant them freedom of expression.
For if the dogmas have any inherent weaknesses,
free discussion will bring them out. Suppression
only leads to secret activity and casts a romantic
aura of mysteriousness about it which gives the
movement added impetus. The lesson of Great
Britain might well be applied in this country. If
we were to institute a Hyde Park, where all
radicals could blow off steam, it would certainly
do no harm and serve as a useful safety valve
for our democratic state. If the United States is
a true democracy, the decision as to what form
of government the people want should rest with
them and them alone. The choice between altern
atives, moreover, should not be limited by would
be defenders of the people’s rights and liberties.
The kiind of publicity which is given to the
so-called "red menace," which is more imaginary
than real, not only is very often exaggerated
news-reporting and fear on the part of those
who might be affected, but also is a practice
which gives strength anti succor to a Fascist
movement. All forms of society which have as
their aim the better welfare of mankind must
continue to be examined, taught, and discussed.

Washington Weekending
By WAYNE HARBERT
Oregon students arriving on the
Washington campus Friday were
greeted by a rain as wet as any
Oregon ever experienced. But
the Husky Homecoming crowds
were little dampened in spirit.
More than 12,000 alumni were said
to be on the campus Friday night,
bringing traffic in the university
area practically to a stop.
Mechanical signs, much like
those exhibited at Oregon a few
weeks ago, were put into action
as darkness covered the campus.
The rain continued to pelt the
Husky domicile. The Oregon Duck
was taking an awful beating on
the signs in front of almost every
house. Plaintive quacks came
from cardboard ducks in the jaws
of ply-wood Huskies.
* * *
The Betas constructed in front
of their house a "ducking well ’
built after the fashion of tire co
lonial ducking chair. A stone well
was constructed and a huge paper
duck was being lowered regularly
into its depths by a dripping wet
pledge, clad in the appropriate
suit of purple and gold. As the
duck was raised from the well, a
group of pledges behind the scene
made most genuine duck calls.
* * •
“Where has Orie gone?” punned
the Thetas in their sign, which
was a map of the Pacific coast
with the waves of the ocean lap
ping the area usually occupied by
the rival state of Oregon.
Theta Chi, with its screeching
duck on tiie chopping block in the
hands of a Washington rooter,
both made of cardboard, on the
award for having the best sign on
the campus. A husky, with a very
derisive smile on its countenance,
stood watching the slaughter. At
each hack of the axe on the neck
of the yellow fowl, an unfortunate
pledge, swathed in rainsoaked
clothes, made a duck call from
behind the structure.
Skyrockets shot into the tor
rents of rain after dark Friday,
but the precipitation halted fur
ther rally activities. Spirit at
Washington, admit the students, is
not what it is at a smaller school,
the huge metropolis around it ab
sorbing too much interest from the
campus. Politics don't seem to
mean much, houses rarely taking
an active part in the elections. Big
shots are few in the student body,
everyone being a "little duck in a
big puddle." The editor of the pa
per and the student body proxy are
both independent students.
All the buildngs on the purple
and gold campus are of one archi
tectural type. There are millions
of dollars worth of brick and mor
tar structures, imposing with no
ivy on their walls, it would take
the majority of the buildings on
the Oregon campus rolled into one
to equal the library. And it is not
> coiuplttcl\ tmi.hcd:
Washington is one of the richest
universities in the United States.
In the beginning', t Ire campus was
further down town. Gradually the
city built up around it, boosting
the value of the land to abnormal
figures. But instead of selling the
campus, the university fathers
rented it, moving the institution
to the hills near Lake Washington.
Rent from this crowded city center,
from which skyscrapers now soar
into the clouds, furnishes gold
from which to advance the uni
versity.
Washington spirit, as has al
ready been said, isn't as evident as
it is at Oregon. They had to pad
their central rooting section to en
able the cheer leaders to direct the
card stunts, which were excellent.
Purple and gold cards formed a
huge UVY. lemon and green cards
made a large black O, which for a
time looked like a Q due to spar
sity of the section. A husky dog
was also formed, as was a massive
duck, followed ironically by the
letters, SOUP.

The Marsh of Time ❖
By Bill Marsh
Ahah! You see, I told you so.
You are all doomed to disappoint
ment. Your correspondent is back,
safe and uninjured except for a
alight concussion of the conscience.
This Isn’t important, but we
rumble seated it to Seattle in six
hours and fifty minutes, one cir
cular skid, three chickens and an
unfortunate jackrabbit. We al
most got a pig, too, but it just
happened to be one of the pigs
that the A.A.A. isn’t raising this
year, so it really wasn’t in the road
at ail and we missed it.
The University of Washington
was certainly taking no chances
with their goal posts. Not only
were there about two hundred of
us against eight thousand of them,
but they got out a detachment of
national guards to stand around
the posts after the game and swing
riot sticks. The only thing they
overlooked was a trench mortar,
some tear gas and a couple of
machine guns.
Sidelight: A small child speaks.
“Mother, what is that man drink
ing?” The mother replies, “Hush,
dear. It’s cough syrup. He prob
ably has a cold.”
Time passes. Presently the brat
crops up again, and in a childish
trill that could be heard from Lake
Washington to Puget Sound, chir
rups, “Goodness, mother, that man
must have an awful cold. He's

Spotlight: Jack (happy day)
Mulhall crooning into the mike at
the Wooden Shoe. It sounded like
somebody rubbing a file across
the teeth of a circular saw. The
citizens of Seattle are still won
dering what made their radios
give off those few moments of in
credibly horrible static.
Dimlight: Jack Campbell, maes
tro of the rally committee glee
club, trying to lead a yell along
with the yell leaders. Came a
voice from the stands, "Sit down
you arm waving get-hot. Whataya
think the yell leaders are for?”
Question: Outside of directing
traffic at rallies, what is a rally
committee for? If anyone has an
answer for that one -we’ll be glad
to hear it.

Perhaps the biggest fake ever
swallowed hook, line, and sinker
by the American public in the way
of entertainment is the recent fad
of so-called “girls’ bands,’’ which
if you haven’t heard on the air
you may have seen in pictures. I
defy anybody to show me that
either Ina Ray Hutton’s girls were
actually playing that typically
Cab Calloway music which sound
ed from the theatre loud speakers,
and that goes for Phil Spitalny’s
Girls too. The only thing that was
on the level in the latter aggrega
tion was the singing group, ana
the reason for that was that they
were funny looking, which forces
one to believe that they had a rea
son for being there. The rest of
the girls, including the ones with
the flat, box-like guitars, (sans
strings) looked as if they’d been
hand-picked from the Vanities, and
they exhibited about as much
brains when it came to pretending
to play their various instruments.

the girls forgot to put their mutes

to play at hot tenor sax solo. On
her face was a demure look; her
cheeks maintained their normal
position, and her pretty mouth re
mained undisturbed by the mouth

charmingly, though lazily, twid

goes without saying that at the
