Peace for United States
YESTERDAY'S “strike against Avar,"
Avliilc not the success its backers may
liave hoped, served lo bring to the front a
problem that occupies the mind of every stu
dent at various times and in varying degree.
This is tlie question of world peace, and par
ticularly, peace for the United States. When
ever the problem comes up for discussion,
’wild statements fly with increasing hollow
ness, and few indeed are the students who
can keep themselves ot a straightforward
evaluation of facts.
Several recent ijrguments Avitncssed or
participated in by the Avriter brought home
the almost amazing ignorance and prejudices
of many college students in regard lo the
reasons for the present European crisis and
its relation to the United States. They agree
almost unanimously on condemnation of Hit
ler and Mussolini, but ask them Avliy—pin
them down—and they sputter childish mut
terings about “it just isn’t right” and
“they're just trying to start a war” and
other equally ineffective arguments.

JT is obvious that until Americans realize
that the acts of Italy and (formally are not
the absolute result of their dictators’ per
sonalities, but of the economic situation of the
people, discussions of America's policy are
pointless and likely to lead us, crying for
vengeance, into a Avar against Herr Hitler as
a personality for reasons as false as those
Avliieh took us into the last war.
Italy ami (Jermany, being economically
unable to support their population and indus
tries, have only three alternatives. They may
lower their standards of living which have
‘’lieady been lowered to the near-starvation
level, decrease their population, or expand.
''J'lIE first course is unacceptable to Am
4 eriean laboring men. Why should hard
working Germans accept it? The second in
volves losing their positions as great powers
‘ a catastrophe which proud Germans and
Italians are unwilling to accept. Thus only
the last course is left—-the survival of the
fittest—a course which England and France
both followed up to and past the turn of the
century, but which now wring cries of shame
li'om their gover.cuts when pursued by
Hieir “have-not" neighbors. Have interna
tional morals changed so much? No. Only
international situations. It is the eternal
struggle of the “haves" against the “have
»0,s,M and until Americans as a whole real
ize that we "have, and that neither Italy
nor Germany nor Japan, nor all of them to
gether. can take away from us what we have,
we will go on pursuing the will-o’-the-wisp
that is peace until we land in the morass that
is war.
We have a unique position among the
nations of the world. We have no concern
with Europe’s struggle for life. If such were
our national attitude, Europe could have no
concern with us. Let us realize that no Euro
pean nation, or presently possible combina
tion oi them, could seriously entertain the
idea of attacking our shores. Let us cease to
worry ourselves about basic possibilities until
conditions change our present impregnability

pressing and infinitely more vital to our na
tional welfare. 15.G.
What Other Editors Believe
WE, TOO, MAY HAVE TO GO TO \V VU
Buddy Merriell, 17, hanged himself yesterday.
He did it because he was afraid that he would
have to go to war.
American college students are today faced with
the same problem. If war comes, and if the United
Stales gets in, they will have to go. It is useless
to attempt to deceive ourselves with talk that
sending large conscript armies across oceans is
out-of-date. If the United States enters a Euro
pean war, our allies will demand American man
power—even as they did in the last war.
And we will be the ones selected to go. The
first draft will include all those between 21 and
31; later it will be extended to cover all those
Outlook Pessimistic
Of 6 Million Youths
Leaving College
By Student Opinion Surveys of America
AUSTIN, Texas, April 20 There are some six
million young' people who within six weeks tc
several years will leave college with a pessimistic
outlook on their own futures.
Almost one half of the men and women in
colleges and universities in this country believe
they are facing a world that offers less opportun
ities for success than it did before the time they
were born. These are the results of a poll just
conducted nationally by the Student Opinion Sur
veys of America, the weekly sounding board of
college youth, of which the Emerald is a member,
48 Per Cent Pessimistic
A scientifically-defined cross-section of stu
dents was asked, “Do you think the opportunities
for most young men and women to get ahead
today are as good as they may have been thirty
years ago?” The economic problem of youth is nc
myth to 48 per cent of the collegians, while the
rest of them, 52 per cent, have an optimistic view,
of the world into which they are going.
Although very few college students today have
a personal knowledge of conditions three decades
ago, their answers appear to be based on what
they can see now and what they have learned
about the past. A slight majority is convinced that
opportunities have been increasing, like the Penn
sylvania student who points to the greater num
ber of occupations which now exist. On the other
hand, another student in the same state, in Temple
university, answers negatively, stating that the
number of youth has increased, thus reducing the
number of available jobs. A Cornell senior believes
that success is there for those with initiative, re
gardless of conditions.
Obstacles Listed
The growth of the use of machinery, the de
mand for more education, and government regula
tion of ’ industry and employment are given as
reasons for a decrease in opportunities to get
ahead.
The survey also shows that students in the
southern and west central states are the mos1
optimistic, while less than 50 per cent of those
elsewhere believe their chances are better.
The poll, of course, makes no attempt to analyze
the situation, but it does definitely show the atti
tude of students on the question asked.
The Calliope!!!!
Frosh politics settled into the final groove at
(he freshman nominating assembly in Villard last
night as first year politicos nominated two oppos
ing tickets headed by Jack Lansing, Kappa Sig,
and Bob Calkins, Omega hall.
Lansing’s ticket includes Maxine Hanson, Delta
Camilla, vice-president; Cullen Murphy, Chi I’si,
treasurer; Margaret Young, Kappa Alpha Theta,
t erasure r.
Calkin’s ticket lists Barbara Williams, Chi
Omega, vice-president; Bob Cherney, I’i Kappa
Alpha, treasurer; Betty Workman, Alpha Delta
1'i, .secretary.
A rather feeble effort to split the Lansing
votes was apparently made at the meeting when
Arvilla Bates, Chi Omega, nominated Walker
Treece, Phi Delt, for president. Treece declined the
nomination in favor of Lansing and eliminated
the possibility of putting Calkins into office by
a split vote. Miss Bates neglected to take into con
sideration the fact that Treece is one of Lansing's
campaign managers, along with Bill Loud, Beta.
A glance at the houses which have aligned
themselves behind the two tickets reveals that
Lansing is being supported by a strong aggre
gation ol freshmen who have apparently made up
their own minds who they want for sophomore
president, while Calkins is being sponsored by the
ASUO block organized by Zane Kemler and Dick
Williams.
Jo,‘ Kri//,‘l -John Biggs used Calkins as a
talking point when they east the dorm support
into the Dll bloc, trading for votes promised to
Calkins. Thus one step is completed in the efforts
of Kemler and Williams to mold a solid bloc be
hind an ASK) candidate us well as candidates for
all three classes. The “darkhorse” of the DC bloc,
incidentally, is none other than Verdi Sederstrom
himself, who made the definite statement last
night that he is “planning to run" for student
body president.
between IS and 40. It is our generation that will
have to do the fighting.
Buddy Merriell's problem is the problem of
nil of us. The way out for him was short, de
cisive. and admittedly effective. If all of us hanged
ourselves, there would be no war. But it is a
cowardly way out.
The problem has more than one solution, we
believe. The United States does not go into any
European conflict despite Sumner Welles' state
ment that "world peace today is indivisible,” and
President Roosevelt's endorsement of a demand
that "the democratic nations must make a show
ot force. As a nation, we are fortunate. Our
geographical position and our large variety of
natural resources make American isolation
feasible.
1 "liege students should demand that the United
States stay out of any European war. This does
not necessarily preclude trade with Europe pro
vided it is under circumstances that will not drag
us in. and provided we remain firm in our resolve
that whatever happens, America will "stay out.
College students must organize and demand
that America does not intervene in Europe's wars.
For, to paraphrase Benjamin Franklin: "If we
don t hang together, we may as well hang sepa
rately. -Daily Kansan.
A laboratory in which undergraduates may
learn the organization and administration of
parent-teacher associations has been organized
