WrEDNESDAY was one of those warm Spring days that make you want to feel alive, but it was a sad day. As you watched the few hundreds of students listening to the anti-war speakers you couldn't help thinking back to March and April 1917. All during those two months, bodies of stu- dents were organizing into volunteer training squads, and the Daily poll on military training returned on March 30, 632 votes against military training, 632 out of 4,436. Wednesday there were, optimistically speaking, 600 students, out of a student body of 10,000. But the small number wasn't the only sad part of the anti-war "strike." A sadder thing was to see the psychology as- sistant, the two dentistry students, the three en- gineers, the two lawyers, the three doctors, the economics major,, the chemistry major, the six sorority girls, the bored professor, walk through the loosely gathered together throng without even so much as pausing to hear what the speak- ers had to say. They just weren't interested. They weren't interested in sacrificing one hour to show that they were for peace and against war. They weren't willing to spend an hour out of a whole year. to show that they belonged to those who are opposed to war, that they are a part of the America's youth, and not the psychology assistant and the lawyers and the sorority girls who live in a world apart, unaf-- fected by the grim currents of a social existence. And some of us think that we can stop our country from going to war, that we can stop it through our own efforts, through the efforts of the youth of America. And our youth walks through the peace meet- ings to go to the library or to the tennis court or to the ping-pong room, unwilling to stop and show its solidarity against war. Continued walking through peace meetings, Mr. and Miss America., You have the liberty now to walk through them. You won't be able to walk through those other meetings when they ask for volunteers, for liberty bonds, for duty to your country, for your life. Tuure Tenander. to serve on the panel, and conservative students to attend the sessions. This obstacle presented itself again this year; in other Nords almost all the liberal and radical faculty men who were asked to attend accepted without hesitation; and while a much larger number Iof conservative faculty men accepted this year than ever before, an equally large numn.- be "just wasn't interested." With this in mind the committee reduced faculty participation and added students to each panel one to attack the present system and the other, to defend it. These students, in short, prepared speeches, will attempt to provide a strong foundation for discussion by the presentation of a common basis of fact. By limiting discussion to the University system and providing for the passage of resolutions at the Sunday meeting, the committee this year has done all that is possible to keep the dis- cussion on a practical plane. However ,the most unfair charges of the lot are those which blast the Parley on the ground that destructive criticism is the sole result o the weekend of debate. It must be recognized that destructive criticism is absolutely essential to the construction of any improvement. But it must further be recognized that no Parley has been entirely destructive and the last two, in particular, have been less so than before. The tutorial system recently adopted by the University was advised for many consecutive years by the Parley section on education. The Parley section on social life and the family ,for many years has repeated the conclusion that a course in sex education is eminently de- sirable; that the University is at present work- ing out a plan for such a course. These are but two of a score of constructive suggestions made by previous Spring Pagies. The University has not seen fit to adopt reforms like the elimination of the lecture system, the institution of a course in peace, and introduc- tion of a reading period, reforms which successive Parleys have repeatedly urged. The pressing nature and closeness of the sub- ject make a broad parley more necessary this year than ever before. Whether the Parley is braod, whether it is con- structive, whether it deals with realizable re- f6rms depends in large part upon the partici- pation of conservative students and faculty members. Student or faculty member, you do not need a gilt edged invitation. Don't criticize beforehand. Go to the Parley and mould it yourself. S. R. Kleiman. Is The Wagner Act Next?. T HE PRESENT SESSION of Congress has been one of the most disastrous in years for progressive legislation. One Roose- velt measure after another has gone down to defeat in the face of an intensive campaign in the press, and in the Capitol. This cam- paign appears to have had a three-fold pur- pose: to defeat each successive reform for its own sake, to smear Roosevelt on every possible issue in preparation for the next presidential campaign, by which time it is hoped that the President will be sufficiently discredited so that a conservative DEmocrat can be nominated; and to smash the labor movement. The last objective is probably the most im- portant both from the point of view of those who wish to accomplish it and from that of their adversaries. The attack has already begun on the Wagner Act, and it may be confidently expected to continue and develop strength until public opinion is considered ready for a mo-. tion to repeal it. It is true that repeal of the Wagner Act will be an exceedingly delicate and difficult task, for the rights guaranteed to labor therein, soberly examined, are fundamental and essential to a healthy democratic society. The Wagner 'Act implements the right of collective bargaining by outlawing the intimidation and coercion which the LaFollette Civil Liberties Committee has revealed as so widespread among American in- dustrialists. The National Labor Relations Board, created by the act, has a record of im- partiality which all the efforts of the reactionary section of the press have been unable to mar. But the campaign against the Wagner Act will not be conducted on grounds of rationalitbr or fairness. The type of propaganda used so ef- fectively against the Executive Reorganization Bill, not nearly as important in the eyes of reac- tion as the Wagner Act, will berehearsed once again in more violent form. Father Coughlin will perhaps once more offer to sacrifice himself on the steps of the Capitol. Most important of all, perhaps, will be the business recession as a weapon against the act. Labor unions will be blamed for the slump which has come largely as a result of bus- iness's own over-expansion activities during the first six months of last year, when in- ventories were piled up too great to be promptly absorbed by production. The public has al- ready been successfully convinced, according to the gallup poll, that business must be freed from taxation in order to be allowed to recover. The outlook must look particularly auspicious for a frontal attack on labor. Joseph Gies. Much Ado About Wally Plangently, bitterly, unendingly, from the lobster pots of Maine to the chambers of com- merce of California, rises the doleful plaint of women weeping. Quenching the rough voice of the winds, or even the primed pumps of polit- ical oratory, ululates the wailing and gnashing of pretty teeth. The Duchess of Windsor has bobbed her raven locks! What irremediable insult to American womanhood! Month after month, in modest or multitudinous city, thousands upon thou- sands of the fashionable sex have been letting JI/fe einr fo hpe H-eywood Broun An official Nazi newspaper in Vienna has at- tempted to set down the future, and says that Czechoslovakia has but a year to live. A physi- cian told something like that to a friend of mine and the patient took it in his stride and replied, "As long as that, Doc," for it seemed to him that so many things could happen with- in the year. There would be spring, perhaps, and sum- "''mer and autumn, and with the winter would come an ending. And he lived with danger as if it were a step- son. But the years rolled by and the doctor is dead and my friend goes on and on. It is not safe to be precise as to the longevity of men or nations. Doom can be delayed, and again it may come suddenly, almost between the tick and tock of a grandfather clock. Who knows now what the year holds in store for the Nazis? Emperors and kings have ridden at dawn surrounded by mighty armies only to see all their hopes and aspirations swept into dust by night- fall. Marathon marked the death of a nation. Napoleon had victory in his grasp at Waterloo, and yet he lived his last on the little island of St. Helena. And the proud ones who loast and threaten and lust for power must watch the split seconds on the stopwatch of time. Often sone mysterious and moving finger has written its compelling message on the wall, even at the feast of triumph. And there is no appeal. The forces against tyranny may gather slowly, but they can strike with the speed and fury of the hurricane. Remember The Story Of Joshua Jericho was a mighty city and from its battle- ments the warriors watched the forces of Joshua and the men of the great King laughed, because for six days no spear was leveled at them. Ac- cording to the command of Joshua ,the Ark of the Lord was carried around the walls of the city. And seven priests bearing seven trumpets. Before them and after came the armed men, but they were forbidden to shout. That was the strict injunction of Joshua. "Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout." Arid it seemed to the warriors of Jericho as if the armed men of Ishrael were meek, and that in them there could be no threat to the migh and majesty of great Jericho. They merely marched with sword in hand and said no mum- bling word. But for the blare of the trumpets this might have been an army of the dead, so softly did they walk while they bided their' time. But on the morning of the seventh day the ghostly host marched seven times around the city, all misty in the ' dusk of dawn. Then Joshua commanded the children to shout. * * * * Walls Of Tyranny Tumble "And it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpets and the people shouted with a great shout that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every, man straight before him, and they took the city." So it shall be again. History has ordained it. When the people shout in unison and every man walks straight before him, the walls of tyranny will come tumbling down. Already the trumpets begin to sound. And throughout the world free men wait for that final piercing note and the command, "Shout, for the Lord hath given you the city.", Books have been burned and yet they live. Nor can fire or flame, humiliation or torture make an end of liberty. The wall of Nazi tyranny is tall; upon it floats its sinister emblem. But the voice of peoples of the world will and must be heard. That wall shall fall down flat. Press Freedom. It is doubtless true that a misconception has sprung up about freedom of the press, to the effect that it is a special night granted for the benefit of publishers. The American Society of Newspaper Editors, in convention at Washington, did an excellent thing in adopting a resolution that places this constitutional guaranty in its proper setting. The resolution says: Too many citizens regard freedom of the press as merely the profitable privilege of publishers, instead of the right of all the people and the chief institution of represen- tative government. A free press is that priv- ilege of citizenship which makes governmen- tal dictatorship impossible. The publishers' stake in freedom of the press is a great one, to be sure, but the people's stake is even greater. It is the right of learning the truth from printed pages over whose contents the Government has no control. Dictatorship can mold its subjects' opinions because it dom- inates the press and other channels of expression. In a free country, however, truth is in the field, and the actions of officials, from the President down, are exposed to appraisal and criticism from all points of view. Freedom of the press is a privilege of no spe- cial class, but of the whole people. -St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Many U.S. educators are deeply concerned over the competition among American colleges and FORUMN N.B., Mr. Houston I intend this to be nothing more than a short reply to the recent letter - of Mr. Houston, III, who beig a "peace loving individual" was forceda to choose "the alternative of being a militarist." I've often heard of odd and eccen- tric changes in policy, but how could a peace loving individual ever possibly change to a militarist? This change is so void of logic that it isn't even funny, it is idiotic! Is it possible fort a person with the ability to distin- guish between right and wrong, I be-t lieve that you can do this, to publical.- ly lend his support to a cause that has slaughtered women, children and? non-combatants so that a few square miles of land or some prestige might be gained? Can't you see, Mr. Hous- ton, the type of conditions in Spain and China today were brought about by the type of policy that you say you are forced to choose?" Don't theseabarbaric conditions stir you in- ternally and make you shudder and der if this mad world of ours is really civilized? I don't know if it affects you that way, but it does me. Yet, you can say that you support not a peace loving point of view, but a militarist!_ How can you? I don't think that "learning the potentialities of war in a military or- ganization is good anti-war propa- ganda." True, it may have a small propagandic value, but the fact that it makes for quicker and more wars off-sets it by far. Don't forget that while on the surface it appears you are teaching the members of the R.O.T.C. what the evils and horrors of this modern mechanized method of annihilation called war are, you are also teaching them how they may perform with the upmost perfection these identical means of destruction. And when a war comes, I see that you wouldn't want to be a buck pri- vate, a captain or any other rank that you want, it isn't going to save you from losing your life while being a combatant in a war. It is all the same to me, the odds are so great against you, that you lose either way! If you want to be the person that blows his whistle and yells, ". K. boys, follow me." When you go over the top, 'than the person who just follows and perhaps wonders why he is there fighting-go to it, you are welcome to it all! Emil A.

W ITH SPRING PARLEY approaching. W tsweekend the same cries of dis- satisfaction with,, the Parley set-up that have hounded the seven previcus all-campus "bull ses- sions" have started around. We hear that the Parley rakes the campus with destructive crit- icism, that the radicals control the sessions and that the discussions is dominated year by year by the same group of faculty men who, in their elevated position on the panel, wander over a broad field of theory, never getting down to practicalities. Some of these things have been true in the past in varying degrees. Some of them are unfair. But the serious attempt that has been
