rpllE University of Oregon may be short of an
A abundance of necessary finances, we may lack
a great horde of students, but one thing we do not
need is more honoraries.
During the past quarter the value of having so
many honoraries has been frequently questioned.
But despite editorials in the Emerald in connection
with this matter, which we would choose to regard
as grave were it not rather humorous, nothing has
been accomplished in the way of an investigation.
Nothing has been done to change the present sys
tem. But if Martha McCall, newly elected AWS
persident, can carry through her recently pub
licized intention to investigate women’s service
honoraries, we feel that something may be def
initely accomplished.
Under the Lid
The two groups mentioned by Miss McCall
were Thespian and Phi Theta Upsilon, freshman
and junior women’s lionoraries respectively. While
we agree with Miss McCall that these organiza
tions possibly do not perform any tremendously
valuable function, we are rather curious to know
why a dozen others should be exempt from in
vestigation. It is a known fact that the most
familiar task of service lionoraries is passing
teacups at formal functions a rather dull enter
prise for outstanding campus women.
We do not wish to single these lionoraries
out for particular disfavor, however, and feel that
till campus organizations should undergo a thor
ough examination to determine whether or not
they are worthy of the hours of time spent by
officers and me ibers, and whether the member
receives any justifiable percentage for the outlay
of a substantial membership fee.
At the present time there are more than thirty
honoraries on the campus, each struggling des
perately to keep a fair afnount of money in its
treasury. Service honoraries arc frequently dic
tated to by campus politices, thereby losing their
significance. We, the women of the campus, ask
for a cleanup of the honorary haibt at the Uni
versity of Oregon.
Gambling ill Get You
JT'H an undeniable fact that we Americans must
continually have some silly little game which
will amuse us. Not long ago the whole nation was
jo-jo mad; then came jig-saw puzzles; and now, a
more daring fad has found pleasure for l'un-jaded
appetites the pin and ball machine!
The other day the Lane county court banned
all pin and ball machines in the county outside
of cities where they are regulated by license. The
order will go Into effect June 1.
Personally, we feel that the court might have
performed an act of jnerey by banning the pesky
things entirely. The fact that they are a polite
way of gambling away nickels is not out sole
objection they’re hard on the nerves!' One is
almost driven into the first stages of d. t’s. while
waiting for the cute little silver ball to roll into
something and stay away from the pesky ‘‘out."
What's more, the game is habit forming.' One
becomes an addict, and acquires pin-ball fever—
and after all twenty nickels do make a dollar.
Can’t someb- save us from the pin-ball
folly ?
Shake Hands With France
SINCE the passage of thq, Reciprocal Trade act
on June 12. 19.34, which provided for as much
as a 50 per cent tariff reduction by the persidept
in exchange for "similar concessions from other
nations, 13 agreements have been negotiated be
tween the United tates and foreign countries.
Not the least of tn fee is thg one signed May
6 by Cordell Hull, secretary of the department of
state, and Andre de Labculaye? French 3 ambassador
to the United States.
The facts supporting the making of the treaty
will be hard to overcome by even the most hard
headed protectionist. Recent reports to the com
merce department show that the United States
lost over 27 million dollars from 1934-35 in trade
with France. Also strained trade relations were
developing between the two countries over
France’s supposed discriminatory import quotas
which were imposed on United States goods. Sure
ly the administration had reason to suppose that
this treaty was a wise and timely one in every
respect, considering the financial and cooperative
loss of the two countries.
Effective June 15, the pact provides for a
reduction on the following American exports:
grapefruit, passenger automobile chassis, unsweet
ened canned pineapples, fountain pens, dried
prunes, raisins, and cash register:-;. The first two
items are reduced 50 per cent. These articles are
included in the 19 lowered rates granted the United
States in which trade with France last year
amounted to $3,500,000.
Especially benefiting the northwest are the
quota concessions by France on fresh apples and
pears with a 50 per cent gain over the present
quota. Canned salmon, logs, lumber, typewriters,
and household refrigerators were included in a
list, of 44 items for which present French import
quotas were enlarged.
While France’s chief concessions were in lib
eralized import quotas and almost full abandon
ment of her discriminatory system against the
United States, this country reduced tariff rates on
71 items which last year accounted for $19,070,000
woi th of the $58,330,000 total French imports into
the United States.
This is the first pact to be signed with a large
industrial nation others now in force include
those with Canada, Cuba, Brazil, Sweden, the
Netherlands, Haiti, Switzerland but this is the
first to be negotiated with a country that is so
important to our export trade. It points to the
success of President Roosevelt’s world trade re
covery program which became necessary after the
high tariffs of the Hawley-Smoot act which re
sulted in surplus-choked home markets, depres
sion, and retaliation by high tariffs from other
countries. It also points to the saneness of reci
procity. It is the only effective and fair way of
stimulating trade between two nations and of aid
ing overproduction in fields of specialization.
Something New for Frenchmen
T OOKS like France will try something new in
the way of government a republican dic
tatorship. Strange bedfellows these, but it will be
interesting to watch the political concoction in
action.
Leon Blum, leader of the National Socialist
party and organizer of the “popular front” of left
ists that won tin recent French elections, will be
practically the dictator of France when Premier
Sarrout and his cabinet resign on June 2.
Blum, who with his cabinet will take over the
holm of the French government at that time, has
laid down a four-point program which the nation |
will follow until the next election in J940.
The four planks include:
1. Adherence to the League of Nations.
2. Consolidation of European peace.
3. Promotion of mutual assistance pacts.
4. Progressive disarmament.
Speaking to the National Socialist council,
Blum said recently: “We must consolidate the
country against Fascist attacks. We must put the
republican spirit in all high administrations, and
we will deprive (he Fascists of all secret means
of propaganda.'’
The program i. general and broad enough not
to mean much. At any rate it seem politically safe
and there must be something to it. for somebody
once said, “100,000 Frenchmen can’t be wrong! All
of which is by way of saying keep an eye on
France, lads.!

it's all because of some letters j
written in youth’s heyday that Lo

a blackmailer, and Franchot Tone |
is accused of murder, in the pulsat

playing at the McDonald theatre

Sounds like a typical movie plot,
built around a foundation which
crumbles under your scrutinizing
gaze, doesn’t it ? Well, it has its
faults, but there are some unusual
twists in this murder mystery that
will keep your mind popping. And
besides, they have to put out just
so many movies down there in cel- i

highly seasoned tastes of the av

—cheaply, and quickly?
The story is laid in England,
where Franchot Tone, as an Eng

appointment of attorney-general.
Tone does a finished job, and you

‘Honey in Horn’ Author
May Ignore West Critics
By MIRIAM EICHNER
HONEY IN THE HORN admirers watch with satisfaction the
mounting eastern sales of the recent Pulitzer prize winner. Big time
critics acclaim this first novel as “authentic Americanan’ and author
Hal Davis finds himself in a position to look a bit disdainfully at
northwestern critics who condemned his work as an inaccurate por
trayal of the west. It would take a novel indorsed by the chamber of
commerce to satisfy the critics who found fault with Davis’ rough
and ready characterization.

Spongier Dies Unnoticed
Recently the death of one Oswald Spengler passed practically
unnoticed. Spengler is the author of “The Decline of the West” which
volume has had extensive influence on European civilization regardless
of its authenticity.
When it first appeared Spongler's work was regarded with some
alarm and a great deal of respect. It expressed a deafeatism which
has been infused in philosophies of the foremost nations ever since
its publication.
Today critics regard the work as a mass of "over-simplified and
often philosophically unsound generalizations upon the rise and fall
rhythm of all peoples.” Nevertheless, generalizations advanced by
Spengler are accepted by those who have no idea who originated
them. Critics still admit that it has "been a factor both in the
pessimism of the democracies and the hysteria of the dictatorships.”
But Spengler died unnoticed.
