Yesterday's Discussions
Symposiums Today
Closes Convention
More than 400 people were esti-
mated to have attended the second
day's section meetings of the Mich-
igan Academy of Science, Arts and
Letters held yesterday on campus. To-
day's business and section meetings
will close the convention.
The two leading events yesterday
were the general lecture given by Dr.
Alvin H. Hansen, of Harvard Univer-
sity, at 4:15 p.m. on "Full Recovery or
Stagnation" and the presidential ad-
dress given by President of the Acad-
emy Stanard G. Bergquist, of Mich-
igan State College, on "Natural Gas
Developments in Michigan," at 7:45
p.m. following the annual dinner.
Failure to provide adequate outlets
for capital has been largely respon-
sible for the present economic de-
cline and may ultimately be an im-
portant force tending toward change
in the capitalist economy, Dr. Han-
sen declared.
He listed several factors that aided
as outlets for capital in the rapid
growth of the capitalistic system in
the 19th century and showed how
these factors were now largely closed
to future expansion of the system.
One of the chief of these, he said,
was the opening of vast land areas in
the United States into which great
amounts of capital were absorbed in
development.
Rapid Growth In 19th Century
The 19th century was aiso marked
by a rapid growth of population in
all countries of the world, he pointed
out, and this brought demand for
capital both in consumption and in
developing production. Inventions
bmught n ewQU.ts for capital, while
the public utilities and railroads were
almost inexhaustible outlets in the
periods of their development
As concerns the present recession,
Dr. Hansen pointed to an overcau-
tious attitude of business which has
kept it from expanding past direct
demands for production.
Michigan's supply of natural gas
will be exhausted in about five years
at the present rate of consumption,
Dr. Bergquist told an audience of
about 100 people last night at the
Union.
There will be new fields discovered,
he continued, but these will not be
large and plans for future consump-
tion should not be based too strongly
on them for fear of disappoitment,
he said.
3 Fields Of Natural Gas
Three fields, the Greenvale, Bloom-
field and Austin, comprise the major
source of supply of Michigan natural
gas, Dr. Bergquist said. These are
located in parallel lines in a north to
easterly direction across the middle
of the state,
Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Bay City,
Lansing, and Mt. Pleasant are the
chief cities supplied at present with
Michigan' natural gas; according to
Dr. Bergquist.
Highlights in the Academy's bus-
iness today are the meeting of the
council at 2 p.m. in Room 4065 Na-
lurn Sciene nc uilding nd the s-
iness meeting at 3 p.m1). i1 1oom 2003

The Nazi flag of Germany replaced the emam v Austria as the
German embassy took over the Austrian legation in Washington. The
acquisition made the Germans next door neighbors to the Czechoslova-
kian legation (left). Hitler's speech yesterday indicated that the Germant
legation may grow even larger.
Fuehrer Tells Cheering Reichstag In Final Session
He Plans Still Bigger German Fatherland;
Calls For Elections On April 1

BERLIN, March 18.-(P)-Reichs-
fuehrer Adolf Hitler tonight held up
Austria's fate as an implied warning
to Czechoslovakia.,
He asked the Reichstag at its fare-
well meeting for "another four years
that I may complete the tasks ahead
in the greater Reich."
Before Hitler began his speech,
Field Marshall Hermann Wihelm
Goering as president of the Reich-
stag announced dissolution of that
body and called legislative elections
for the new Pan-Germany for April
10.
That is the date of the plebiscite
for Austria to give approval of her
absorption by Germany.
Hitler thanked Premier Benito
Mussolini again for his approval of
the Austrian conquest and pledged:
"Italy's frontiers remain for us in-
violate. Behind tfhis word stands theI
German nation."
He pitied "the democracies" be-1
cause they did not understand his
move into Germany's southern neigh-
bor. a state which he said was "basedI
upon a stark violation of the right of
self-determination of the 6,500,000
people of German nationality."
Sneaking slowly and emphasizing
each word, the moulder and master
of the Greater Germany declared the
time was past when Germans just
across the border could be mistreat-
ed.
"There comes a time when it is
simply impossible for a self-respect-
ing nation to look on any longer," lie
said.
Referring to his talk Feb. 12 at

Berchtesgader with Schuschnigg,
then Chancellor of Austria, he said
he explained "most earnestly" that
continued suppression of Nazi pa-
triots inevitably would result in rev-
olutionary uprisings which would
compel' Germany to intervene.
He said he had proposed to Schu-
schnigg a way out which would lead
to gradual internal pacification and
thus to reconciliation not only be-

tween Austrians but between the two fessional Women's Club Loan Fund,

Student Sentiment Is Vital
In Securing l eFlunds
For Projected Dorumis
Contacted today both President
Ruthven and Dean Bursley declared
that regardless of the effect of what
are primarily temporary measures,
the present housing problem can only
be solved by the construction of dor-
mitories.
Plans ar) being projected, and have
been for some time, for the con-
struction of dormitory facilities suf-
ficient to house the freshman class,
President Ruthven said. Work will
be begun as soon as the funds are
forthcoming, he said,
Dean Bursley Agrees
Dean Bursley concurred in assert-
ing that such attempts as the pro-
posed elimination of University-
backed contracts for upperclassmen
were only temporary and that more
dormitories held the key to the stu-
dent housing riddle. He expressed
the belief that the result of forcing
down room rents might lead to a
corresponding shrinkage in supply as
landladies now taking in roomers
found the returns not worth the sac-
rifice. Should the petition result in
such withdrawals it would aggravate
the situation, not solve it.
Declaring that ' eloquent stu"den I
sentiment might be of vital import-
ance in securing the funds for dormi-
tories, he urged that campus opinion
be concentrated upon the positive
phase of the problem.
Rent Will Be High

price of rooms will closely approxi-

Many colds and contagious diseases
this month indicate that March is
living up to its reputation as "one of
the busiest months" at the Health
Service, Dr. William M. Brace re-
ported yesterday.
Cases of both German and red
measles are being treated at the
11ealtli Service, Dr. Brace said, and
there have been several cases of
mumps among men students. One
Health Service patient has scarlet
fever.
Measles come in cycles of two or
three years, Dr. Brace said, and
"this year seems to be a measles
year." More than 75 cases have been
reported in Ann Arbor, according to
Dr. Brace, and "it is not surprising
that some students have it.

Poland Demands
Renewed Relations
WARSAW, Poland, March 18-(P)
-The danger of war between Poland
and Lithuania hung over Europe to-
night more ominously than ever.
Peace depended on Lithuania's ac-
ceptance of a Polish ultimatum that
will expire at 3 p.m. (EST) tomorrow.
One Lithuanian offer already has
been rejected.
Poland, moving troops close to the
border, demanded that Lithuania re-
nounce any claim to Wilno, her his-
toric capital, and reestablish relations
with Poland that have been broken
for 18 years.
Therehas been no exchange of
diplomats and no traffic, either rail
or air, between the neighbors since
Poland seized Wilno and -about one-
third of Lithuania's territory Oct. 9,
1920.
This issue flared up anew over the
killing of a Polish guard March 11
on the frontier which Lithuania in-
sists merely is a demarcationmline.
Besides Germany, it was watched
with particular interest by Soviet
Russia and by the Little Baltic states
to the North-Latvia and Estonia-
who wondered whether they too,
would be sunk by a wave of terri-
torial re-arrangement Germany's
annexation of Austria set in motion,
A Polish Government communique
said Lithuania had made an unac-
ceptable offer to settle the border
incident by appointment of a mixed
commission.
A fevor of excitement swept PolAd
and vented itself throughout the day
in countless mass, demonstrations,
rallies and political meetings,
A climax came this afternoon at
Wilno, near the frontier and the bone
of contention, where hundreds of
thousands of impassioned Poles ac-
claimed Marshal Edward Smigly-
Rydz, Poland's strong man.
BARCELONA, Spain, March 18.--
(P--Insurgent bombers pitilessly
pounding Barcelona today raised the
toll of known dead in a 42-hour se-
ries of raids to 600 and the number
injured to 1,200.
Seven attacks today by 5 p.m.
(noon EST) alone killed more than
100 and wounded an estimated 150.
An unknown number of persons
lay buried in the wreckage of the
blood-soaked city which the Insur-
egnts converted from a gay capital
to one of mourning.
