Preuss Condemns Germany's
Action In Revoking Nationality

'Man Without A Country'
Story Is Being Enacted
By 4,000_People
Edward Everett Hale's story of the
"Man Without a Country" has been
put into life's drama en masse, ac-
cording to Prof. Lawrence Preuss of
the political science department.
About 4,000 individuals have had
their German nationality revoked
and 200,000 others are faced with the
same fate in the next few years, he
said in an interview, yesterday. The
withdrawing of nationality, Profes-
sor Preuss pointed out, invariably
results in the condition of stateless-
ness, where the individual becomes
in Germany an "unwelcome guest"
and abroad an unwanted alien.
The problem, with a constantly in-
creasing number of individuals being
denationalized, is fast becoming
acute, he said, for, most of them
are residing as stateless refugees out-
side of Germany.
This revocation of nationality hits
two classes of people, Professor,
Preuss stated. First, those "non-
Aryans" who were naturalized" dur-
ing the period between the November
Revolution (1918) and the accession
to power of the present government"
and whose naturalization by reason
of race or politics is now "considered
undesirable."
Second, "the law provides for the
denationalization of citizens resident
abroad who are guilty of anti-na-
tional conduct or fail to return to
Germany upon summons."
Professor Preuss pointed out that
the second provision is "aimed at the
numerous emigres who have estab-
lished themselves in foriegn territory,
from the shelter of which they are
conducting a vigorous propaganda
against the new regime."
The international legality of this
legislation has been argued pro and
con many times in the past, but ac-
cording to Professor Preuss, the
slight regard which some govern-
ments have shown for international
obligations has prevented the prac-
tice from being outlawed.
However, in Professor Preuss' opin-

ion ,regardless of the legality of the
question," the situation is intolerable
from the haumanitarian point of
view." Even if it be admitted, he
said, that each state has the right
to withdraw its nationality at will,
that right is not unlimited.
Professor Preuss explained the po-
sition of the refugee who has his na-
tionality withdrawn while abroad. If
he remains in his country of refuge
beyond the time allowed and a notice
of expulsion is issued, he either
evades the order thus becoming liable
to imprisonment, he enters illegally
another country and gets thrown in-
to jail, or he goes back to Germany
and a concentration camp.
Moreover, Professor Preuss said, if
the country of his refuge allows him
to remain for humanitarian reasons,
its right as a "state of sojourn to
xepel undesirable aliens is thereby
rendered inoperativeby the indepen-
dent, unilateral act of a foreign
state."
However, the liklihood of Germany
desisting from this practice of creat-
ing stateless persons was decried by
Professor Preuss as being very small.
Thus the only practical solution is,
he said, for the other nations of the
world to admit refugees by interna-
tional agreement and perhaps con-
fer citizenship upon them.
But, he did not think this probable.
"On the whole," he said, "the situa-
tion looks quite hopeless."

Italian Soldiers
Are Massacred
As Radio Calls
ROME. June 2. - u) -- A grim
story of how 30 Italian soldiers de-
sc-'ibed their own massacre in Ethi-
opia in frantic radio messages was
disclosed tonight by Fascist military
authorities.
The soldiers, attached to the air
force in Ethiopia, were set upon by
natives while escorting a small col-
umn of trucks loaded with supplies
along the Imperial Highway between
Makale and Addis Ababa.
Making a last stand against over-
whelming numbers of attackers, the
soldiers held off an encircling attack
while the radio operator tapped out
SOS calls on his portable set.
Addis Ababa headquarters rushed
reinforcements to the aid of the col-
umn, but when they arrived the little
band had been wiped out to the last
man.

Church Will Have
Student Facilities
The new First Presbyterian Church,
construction of which will start this
summer, and which will be completed
September, 1937, will have many fa-
cilities for students.
One whole wing will be devoted to
student activities, except on Sunday
when the Sunday school will meet
there. In this section of the new edi-
fice will be located many student of-
fices, rooms for student meetings and
a large hall for student activities. It
is in this part that the 1100 students
connected with the church will be
accommodated.
Plans for the building also provide
for a place in which a new wing to
the building could be constructed.
If this is built, it will serve only
for students to the exclusion of the
Sunday School.
