HARVARD VS. PRINCETON.
Announcements were made yes-
terday to the nation's press that
Harvard, at least, is willing to let
by-gones be by-gones as far as the
Princeton-Crimson break-up of four
years ago is concerned. Nothing
was forthcoming as to Princeton's
ideas on the subject, but a reaction
is expected. The original statement
came from William J. Bingham, di-
rector of athletics at Cambridge,
following heated &mands of the
4'Princetonian" and "Harvard Crim-
son" that the breach be mended as
soon as R1ossible.
The official statement accredited
to Bingham was that "Harvard is
willing, even eager, to meet Prince-
ton in any sport, including football,
that we play." Bingham continued
that he believed a game could be
scheduled on the gridiron between
these two teams as early as Octo-
ber, 1933. The move followed a per-
sistent undercurrent of thought by
the Harvard and Princeton student
bodies concerning re-opening nego-
tiations between the two schools
athletically.
The original break occurred after
the football season of 1926 when
alleged roughness and unfair play
on the part of both teams followed
a series of interchanged slurs by the
Harvard "Lampoon" and the Prince-
ton "Tiger" which culminated in
the Princeton-Harvard f o o t b a11
program published by the "Lam-
poon" and bearing a cover depict-
ing a pig in a sty saying to a much-
mired companion, "Come, brother,
and Root for deah old Princeton."
The break had been coming, how-
ever, for many years before. One
of the classic games in the East, the
Harvard-Princeton tilt got more
and more out of control and offi-
cials of both schools sighed with
relief when negotiations were com-
pleted calling off the contests. Re-
opening of the negotiations is still
a great way off in football, the in-
terview stated, but for minor sports,
basketball, baseball, and track a
well-defined agreement is forth-
coming in the very near future.
riety and, according, something to
be avoided.
But this attitude is changing.
The newspaper public is now com-
ing to believe as do newspaper pub-
lishers that there is nothing inher-.
ently wrong or harmful in publi-
city and that it may often be used
to serve worth-while purposes. More
and more persons are becoming
convinced that news concealment
generally leads to far worse effects
than does news publication.
In this regard, the Houston Press
advocates the printing of all crime
news as a deterrent of crime. The
Press declares: "We cannot avoid
printing crime news, but we can
prevent crime being made attrac-
tive.... Print crime news, yes, be-
cause that is our duty, but tell the
story so that the world will shud-
der, not desire to emulate." This
is a clear statement of the way pub-
licity can and should be used.
In any newspaper field, whether
it be rural, college, or metropolitan,
the advantages of publicity, rightly
handled, are ever apt to outweigh
the disadvantages. Considerations
of public welfare alone can justify
the suppression of news facts pos-
sessed of sufficient reader interest
to demand being given publicity.

AN INDIAN REPLIES TO
"INDIA FALTERS."
To the Editor:
Permit me to correct three mis-
taken assumptions on which the
recent editorial "India Falters" is
based.
First is the false assumption that
"delegates" from India to the
Round Table Conference, whether
Princes or subjects of the British,
represent the politically conscious
India that has been and is object-
ing to British rule. These "dele-
gates" were handpicked by the vice-
roy for their loyalty not to India,
but to Britain, to stage a farce of
conference. This they have done.
No one who knows anything about
India will be convinced that any
real conference may be held when
the Indian National Congress does
not participate, when leaders like
Mrs. Naidu, Mr. Patel Motilal and
Jawarharlal Nehru, Maulana Abul-
Kalam Azad and above all others,
Mahatama Gandhi, are not in the
conference but in jail. A farce can
be held without these leaders of
India, not a conference.
The second false assumption is
the importance that is given to the
statement of Sir Mohamed Shafi
of Lahore. You may judge what
position he must occupy in the eyes
of Indians when you know that he
was one of the few Indians, loyal
to the British in 1919, who approved
of the action of General Dyer, the
author of the Amritsar massacre,
and who the very next day went to
the governor of the Punjab to re-
assure him of his loyalty and sup-
port. Knighthoods represent some
service to Britain, and are not
lightly given.
The third false assumption is to
have expected any permanent or
final results from this conference.
The Indian National Congress on
December 31, 1929, declared the
separation and complete indepen-
dence of India. It is true that this
has not been achieved so far. It
took some other nations six and
seven and ten years of continuous
and bloody warfare to make their
Declarations of Independence good.
How many years it will take India
by the non-resident and non-vio-
lent methods remains to be seen.
But to expect that India will re-
main within the so-called common-
wealth of British nations is to de-
lude one's self.
Furthermore, it is this Confer-
FORSOOTH !
"Reading one book a day, it would
take a person 2,125 years to read
every bound volume in the Libra-
ry" was the Daily's contribution to
the world's supply of useless knowl-
edge for yesterday.
We venture to state, however,
that this does not include the
time you'd put in waiting for
them, not to mention the fact
that half of them wouldn't be
there-after you'd waited-all of
which only goes to prove the
value of our recent suggestions
anent the futility of the library.

STUDENTS AND F A C U L T Y:
There now exists need for special
caution in cases of dog bites. In
such situations the dog should be
followed until confined where it
can be observed during a period of
ten days. It is necessary for a stu-
dent to take immunizing treat-
ments because of failure to keep
observation of such a dog recently.

my own salary which, as you can
readily see proves that they were

LABORATORY ONE-ACT PLAYS
A Review
The "all-student" evening in
their own theatre survived an un-
intelligent and incompetent render-
ing of some of Barrie's dullest senti-
ment and passed on to a thoroughly
enjoyable hour and a half in an
intelligent and competent perform-
ance of some of the best of Barrie's
sentiment and a hilarious produc-
tion of Philip Moeller's reinterpre-
tation of an early American union.
An audience which more than
filled the theatre so strongly sug-
gested their approval of this type
of informal amateur evening that
the series planned should prove a
rich addition to student dramatics.
There is a broad field of one-act
play literature which is going more
or less unexamined since the vogue
has died out.
Several different traditions are
still well worthy of attention.
One would like to suggest, for
example, that Play Production fol-
low up the initiation into Irish
ways in the theatre, given them last
spring by Lennox Robinson, with
one or two of the outstanding Irish
one-act plays by Yeats, Lady Greg-
ory or Synge. At least more careful
attention to the choice of plays
could make the series an extremely
significant one.
The production of "Cinderella
Married" had several salient de-
fects: there seemed to be uncer-
tainty in the director as to whether
Barrie was writing an affecting
drama of pathos about the impos-
sibility of merging the classes or
making an amusing whimsical
comment. If it were the first, the
production should have m o v e d
much more swiftly and with some
concentration on the motives in-
volved. If it were the second, the
production should have been more
subtle, showing some awareness in
the players of the whimsy. None of
the performances was very.spirited.
Each performance in fact was a
little embarrassed: possibly by the
quality of the play (in which case
one can sympathize).
Barrie's charwomen, backin' the
war, were played with great speed
and spirit, with Janet Woodmansee
in particular giving a notable per-
formance as Mrs. Dowey: a per-
formance sensitive and certain in
voice and movement. Alan Hand-
ley played Kenneth with gusto and
conviction; he was, however, quite
too sophisticated to be really au-
thentic. The direction was notable
for realizing fine rhythms: particu-
larly at the very opening where the
fact that one wasn't really hearing
what was said didn't matter.
Charles Monroe rightly staged
Philip Moeller's cartoon, making
loud and broad slams at everything
from Indian passion to blank verse,
in a broad musical comedy tradi-
tion with a good hilarious tempo,1
which got just about everything
across. Notable in the production
were Uldean Hunt's surprisingly ag-
gressive necking, Adsit Stewart's
fine snorts of indifference, Jane
Robinson's impassioned intonation
in evoking Gitchey-Gooey, and the
honorable suffering of the English.
