Five hundred or so students were giving their whole concentrated attention to the speaker. Dr. Visser ’T Hooft, with a sympathy that told of a long association with young men and women, was explaining how today’s youth more and more is being swallowed in the mass movements that sweep powerfully over the world. He had reached the climax of his analysis. He had pointed out that fear of economic insecurity and the desire for social expression could not entirely explain the enlistment of youth under the swas tika and the hammer and sickle, that a deeper reason could he found in the frantic search of young men and women for an integrated philo sophy of life, in their desire for an understanding of this world and for a feeling that they have a place in it. # sit tf: T^DUCATION in the hands of the universal ' church had once given students that integrated philosophy, but in the rise of nationalism, demo cracy and protestant reform the church had lost its unifying power over thought and youth has been left to work out its own salvation in a con fusing world. Now in this century leaders come forward who promise to give youth an aim in life, who offer a way of living and an apparent purpose, and in many parts of the world young men and women flock to their ranks, to communism and fascism. Can this enlistment of youth in mass movement.', he stopped? Can youth find its reintegration with out these authoritarian leaders? The climax. The speaker leaned forward. The audience almost stopped breathing. “My answer to this question is 'yes’. There is a solution. I can’t impose it on you or i d bo an authoritarian myself I’ll only lay it before you That solution i3 Christianity." Anti-climax. Again the young audience settlec back to the usual foot-3craping and squirming The speaker might just as well have said tin Townsend plan. * * Mt JT was not that they were irreligious. Almost al of them were Christian in a quiet, personal way but the appeal of Christianity as an integrating personal and social philosophy was zero. Indeed the Christianity that is to furnish a focus in life for confused youth must be a very differ ent Christianity than that practised today. It musi be a Christianity that can find its way into th< walks of everyday life into the market places into the courts of justice, into legislatures. Can our religious leaders give us that sort 01 vital, social leadership? Youth will give them £ chance. Campus Comment (The views aired in (his c olumn are not necessarily expressive of Emerald policy. Com munications should be kept within a limit ot 250 words. Courteous restraint should be em ployed in reference to personalities. No un signed letters will be accepted.) To the students: Elsewhere in this paper there is an announcement of the first official meeting oi the Oregon Liberty association at 7:30 tonight in the south sunroom of Gerlinger hall. Regarding the announcement we have one state ment: Be there if you have to crawl. It will be better for us to crawl a bit before election than to crawl perpetually afterwards, having lost a mildly-eon tested issue. The only method of demonstrating the absurd ities of optional military training to the people of this state is for every student to consider himself personally responsible for the defeat of this vague, formless and totally impractical scheme to insure peace. It is necessary that the people throughout the state understand that we, the students of the University of Oregon, are not allowing petty, hinterland demagogery to undermine our ability to use our heads in critical moments. It is up to us to prove to them that we are capable of forg ing ourselves into a powerful majority, able, by reason of its common sense, to carry on a united, intelligent and concentrated attack against oppor tunistic minorities. When you come to this meeting tonight remem ber that you are bringing with you but one desire: To work endlessly this next three weeks for the preservation of an intelligent and practical plan tc preserve peace. You will be rewarded by the satisfaction of knowing that you have aided in the rebirth on this campus of a fighting, politicully ajert majority. Bureau of publicity, Oregon Liberty association. Editor: Congratulations! Ihe omniscient militaristic triumvirate have labored and brought forth another organization. No bastard child this conceived "without emo tion," brought forther via the austere and "logical” pen of publicity man Prescott, and nursed in the numerous propaganding trips of Thomas to the sorority halls of Oregon, this offspring promises to live a longer life than its five prematurely-dead predecessors. In memoriam we bow our heads and remember them one by one: "Committee for General Wal fare," "Eugene Committee for Peace,.Eugene I eace Council, "Eugene Student Committee for Education for Peace," and the shame of the family, “Oregon Liberty League.” Their abortive lives were sacrificed to the passion to prove to the "majority" that it is militaristic. Should this latest arrival suffer the same fate, we are sure that the fecundity of the three-man majority will prove equal to the situation, and they will respond, “coldly, often with ruthless brutality, and yet with deadly reasoning,"'and product number seven will be presented to a lib erty-loving world. Inasmuch as we are one in pur pose with tlie Liberty association, to promote world peace, we have rallied our powers of “logic" and reasoning" and humbly suggest that a more auspicious title, such as “Majority League of Three lor Promoting the Liberty of Students to be Com pelled to Take Milit ary Training,” may add to the longevity of this young hopeful.

The committee is still aiming for a 100,000 circulation of the noncompusory p a m p h 1 e t Churches throughout the state are being contacted for sermons and collections marked for copies of the pamphlets, luter to be distrib uted to congregations. A final financial drive is being staged this week to carry the cam paign (through the last three weeks, although the committee an nounced it has liquidated all debt and is financially clear. 19 Faculty Men ___ (Continued from pojjc one) tion; Wayne L.

Men & Nations Ey HOWARD KESSLER "Informed sources,” those mys terious persons who must ever re main unknown to us, but who are responsible for so many scoops in journalism, came forward yester day with the story that Great Britain will shortly announce a new export credit plan, “under which certain British industries would be able to export wares to China, on long - deferred pay ments..” The trade war betwen Britain and Japan in the Orient is recent. It is, however, crucial for the Brit | ish Empire. Upon the mother I country’s trade monopoly depends | the existence of a stable and united I Empire. “We don't like it,” is Japan’s verdict on the “new deal.” And no wonder! Nippon has boomed ahead quite successfully under the old conditions. As, for instance: Figures In 1913, Britain had 55,000,000 spindles and exported 6,780,000,000 square yards of cotton: Japan had 2,300,000 spindles, exported far less than G. B. In 1932, Britain still had 50,000,000 spindles, exported only 2,200,000,000 square yards: yards: Japan, with 8,000,000 spin dles, exported 2,030,000,000. Recent increase in Nippon’s trade has just ubout equalized the two nations. So desirous was the condition deemed, that, in 1933, the Viceroy of India increased the duty on Japanese cotton goods to 75 per cent, as compared to 25 percent on British made goods. Egypt has an extra duty of 35 percent on Japanese goods, likewise the Brit ish possessions of Australia, Straits Settlements, British West Africa and British East Africa. They had to. Otherwise Japan would have swept the British ship Meet me at TV'LOK’S. adv. j ping off the seas in manufactured textiles and articles. In China, Britain cannot com pete, and the after-dinner wit who noted that, if one inch could be added to the garments of every Chinese man and women, Britain would enter an unparalleled era of ! prosperity, had better take his seat. The Reason Here Is why: Nearness to the market provided Japan with a running start. The depreciated yen helped things along no end, although, of course, there will be an end to the yen, no one knows when, and then . . . A Japanese textile worker takes care of 20 or more looms, while a British worker, due to Trade Union regulations, looks after only six. That is one example among many possible ones. Low wages, and, according to oiir desires, a low standard of living. What will Japan do about this new plan to give Birmingham mill workers, and Lancashire textile laborers a job? Obviously, protest to the British government. If that is not successful, they will resort to a sitnilar move, under-cutting the British prices. The Chinese merchant just loves profits, even as you or I. Opinions Tyler Dennett, Princeton pro fessor: “Today, Britain and Japan are natural enemies; they are en gaged in no common effort any where, and over a very consider able portion of the earth are re lentless competitors. They com pete for the carrying of trade, for naval supremacy in the Far East, most of all for the many markets, where, a generation ago, Great Britain had to fear only Germany.” “The Menace of Japanese Com petition” is the title of a report recently issued by the Federation of British Industries in London. Yes, we think so too. Twenty-five prisoners at Alca traz, which houses the toughest federal criminals, are taking cor respondence courses at the Uni versity of California. Harvard has started a course for stammerers. I Tune er By BOB POLLOCK To the pseudo-sophisticates who stick their schnozzles into the air and murmur of Bach, Beethoven, and similar baloney, this will be a fine evening. A very fine even ing indeed. For the top spot, we have the : Standard Erl's symphony airing. ! So tongiht between the hours of 8:15 and 9:15, would-be highbrows will say crossly to phone-ringing citizens, “No, I simply cawn’t come. The symphony hour’s on, I m’deah.” Something like that. While all the time the thing prob ably sounds to them like a cross between a woman scorned and a boiler factory. No gripes arc intended for the program . . . it's one of the finest. The music is grand—they tell us anyhoo, it’s kind of beyond us— but the sym-phony’s who listen to it when they don’t know the works of Dvorak from a nigger stomp give us a sort of pain in the ab dominal rfegion. Joe College evidently likes his music loud, long, and frequent. At any rate, he likes the Hit-Parade if the gripes which have been showering on us all day mean anything. We said yesterday that the ork was- blatant, the tunes over-work ed, and the whole thing Just a swell idea squeezed until it gasped —not for air, but to be put off the air. But the whole bloomin’ campus evidently thinks differ ently, so to heck with ’em . . . we’ll leave the music mangier on and let it drive ’em all crazier than a trombone player in a telephone booth. The publicity’s run out . . . any way, soup’s on. See you tomor row. P.S. It’s 1 a.m. and the column lacks five lines of filling the allot ted space ... so here they are . . . with our sleepy best wishes.' Sigma Xi Hears Dr. Crsssman Speak Tuesday The first meeting of Sigma Xi, science honorary, will be held Oc tober 20 at 8 o'clock p. m. in room 101 Condon hall. Dr. L. S. Cress man, professor of anthropology, will read a paper on the subject, “Petroglyphs of Oregon.” Dr. Cressman, with the support of the National Research council and the Social Science Research council of the University of Oregon has stud ied these Indian “rock writings” over the state and the results will appear in a forthcoming mono graph in the University of Oregon series. Dr. Cressman’s paper Tuesday night will deal with parts of the material handled in the monograph. The paper will discuss the difficul ty of a proper system of naming the “rock writings,” their distri bution, difficulties of interpreta tion or meaning, and the time at which they were made. The paper will not be technical and the meet ing is open to the public.
