But We All Pray Sometimes
WORLD today admires the business man. The busi
ness man deals with so-ealled hard facts—charts, reports,
income tax returns. lie is interested in profit, production,
material tilings which may be seen and counted.
But from time to time conditions arise which make even
the finest drawn set of figures useless. We have just, passed
through one of these crises — the threat of war over Ihe
Czechoslovakian problem — and we observe that, over the
world there was a call to prayer, to try to combat the problem
from the spiritual standpoint.
JN A WAY the col logo student follows the trend of the rest
of the world. He is primarily motivated by his dollar
philosophy, which takes into small consideration the spiritual
aspects of life.
But simetimes he too is faced with problems which require
other than a materialistic viewpoint. Many individuals
blandly state that collegians are lost: souls, irreligious, even
atheistic, at best only non-religions.
We would differ with these individuals, for we arc con
vinced that in the back of the minds of a majority of students
there is an interest in spiritual aspects of life. In many this
aspect is dormant, in others it is hidden through self-con
sciousness or fear of criticism by hard-boiled materialists.
jyjOTIVATED by the idea that this attitude of mind does
'"’exist, the University Christian Mission has been estab
lished. In its visit to tin* Oregon campus this coining week
the mission is endeavoring to give an answer to “the many
students seeking a controlling life purpose and a greater
inner satisfaction ...”
The Mission feels that the germ of Christianity is yet
alive, and that it can through its efforts bring about a new
growth, based on a religion that is courageous and capable
of dealing with life’s problems. That need not be bound by
sect or creed, dogma or ritual—but that will provide a social
morality capable of acting as a measuring stick in every
problem, be it living with our neighbors or politics.
TIE FAITTI of the Mission in the college student is heart
ening. We may not agree implieity with every enuncia
tion of the noted speakers who will be here next week, but
the entire campus is certain to be inspired into new realms
of thought, bringing about improvement for all in contact
with the movement.

Reading back into history via
the Oregonian files one can find
a deal of similarity between the
events of the present European
crisis and the quick chain of
events that led into the World
War. More notable, probably, is
the difference in the way the
world handled the crisis then.
“Peace of Balkans in Serious
Danger.”
That was headline in the Ore
gonian of July 25, 1914, which
gave Oregonians their first news
that there was a serious situa
tion In Europe. The assassina
tions of the Austrian Archduke
Franz Ferdinand and his wife at
Sarajevo had taken place June
28, hut during the entire months
of July there was no war scare
in the news.
Sunday, July 20. “War Cloud
Is Hanging Over Europe,” "Brit
ish Sympathy With Austria.”
Monday, July 27. “Austria
Moves Secretly, May Have
Closed In." France and England
were urged by Gemany to keep
Russia from coming to the aid
of Servia. That day an editorial
mentioned the probable lineup of
power should war occur: Russia,
Great Britain, France, Servia,
and Greece vs. Austria, Ger
many, Italy, and Bulgaria.
Tuesday, July 28. “Four-Pow
er Conference Proposed” (by
Britain, rejected by Germany.)
The conference was to include
Britain, France, Italy, and Ger
many. As today, Russia was to
be an interested spectator. On
that day an editorial stated “It is
midsummer madness . . . I( is
moderately safe to predict from
considerations that the great.
Kuropcan war will l>o a, burst
bubble In a week or two.”
Wednesday, July 29. “War De
clared When Germany Prepares
.Way.”' i *i
Thursday, July 30. “First
Clash of Troops Along Danube.”
Friday, July 31. “Belgrade
Taken; Enemy Is Advancing.”
Saturday, Aug. 1. “All Europe

Then the nationality problem
was that of the people of Bos

placed under Austrian domina
tion in 1909 by a concert of Eu
ropean powers. The weak Bal
kan state was Servia. The strong
state was Austria-Hungary. The
protector of the weak state was
Russia, who hesitated then as
she does today.

The world of that day did not
seem to fear war as much as it
does today. There was not the
tremendous effort and sacrifices
in trying to settle the question
without the force of arms. They
did not realize that war would
be fought in trenches, and that
every advance would be made
inch by inch, foot by foot, de
nuding the earth in its path. Nor
did they realize that the war
would last four long years; nor

Today the world realizes what
a war will be and what a war
will do. Where nations beat on
their chests in 1914 they fall on
their knees in 1938.
This morning European peace,
for a time, has been bought and
paid for. Paid for—not with
bodies, blood, nor ruins, but with
concession, fallen pride, and a
nation dismembered.

As an international diplomat
Herr Hitler is more successful
than as an international banker.
All he seems to get financially is
a bunch of bad Czechs.
Now we find that Wilson’s “14
points” seems to have been a foot
ball score. Two touchdowns and
two kicks. Hitler got the touch
downs, and the Allies the kicks.
The Hindenburg line of the last
war is exceeded by the Hitler
“line” of today. Trouble is, he
might be stringing someone.
Mr. Roosevelt's “good neighbor
policy” is all right at home but
it might not work in Europe. No
one is sure any more who his
neighbor is.
Diplomats and militarists are
meeting paradoxically to stave off
war and peace. A proposition, we
think, of “spew and let the ships
fly where they may.”
The inference that the Czechs
Katy The Fish
In The Swim
At Deady Hall
Right in the swim of things in
the Deady hall aquarium is Katy,
the catfish, who was accidentally
hauled up in a net by J. E. Herbert
son, of the zoology department, as
he was searching for other aquatic
specimens.
In the first few days of her cap
tivity Katy nearly starved to death
in the goldfish tank in which she
was placed, for she was accustomed
to rooting around in the muddy
bottoms of lakes for her food, with
her sensitive long black feelers. Mr.
Herbertson taught her to come to
the top for nourishment by sub
merging food, then bringing it
slowly up, with Katy in tow.
Now although she eats three
square meals a day, Katy is only
slightly larger than a new-born cat
fish because she is unable to de
velop properly in her unnatural en
vironment.
