Nagasaki, Kyushu's principal port with a population of 211,000, was' warned of the approaching planes. The reports said the 12 bombers ac- companied by pursuit planes were sighted flying eastward at a high al- titude.

De Madariaga To Give Peace Lecture Tonight World Foundation Head Believes General War May Still Be Averted Salvador de Madariaga, formerE Spanish ambassador to the United States and renowned pacifist, will1 deliver a lecture on "What Is Peace?" at 8:15 p.m. today in Hill Auditorium. In spite of the precarious nature of the present international situation, Senor de Madariaga believes that a general European war may still be avoided, if partisan passions can beJ subdued and a rational attitude; adopted by the governments involved. "While Europe is a powder maga- tine and international tensions have never been higher than they are now," he says, "nevertheless power- ful and responsible statesmen recog- nize the tremendous disaster that a war would be for Europe." Elaborating on this statement, Senor de Madariaga declares that "never in the history of the world has there been such plain speaking and plain dealing; never have states- men indulged' in such strong accuse. tions of one another without precipi- tating war, or even breaking off dip- lomatic relations." Senor de Madariaga and the World Peace Foundation of which he is chairman, are keen on the idea -,f peace based on liberty. "We put -iur faith in the, idea that there is nothing in the way of organizing 'ife that the will of man, guided by he mind of man, cannot do," he ays. "If the will and mind of man -tre set on getting peace in the world,f hen we will have peace." Prof. Jesse S. Reeves of the po- litical science department will in- 'roduce the speaker. Hitler Followers Downcast At Order Handed Down By Pro-Berlin Minister German Opposition Sounded In Vienna VIENNA, Feb. 23.-(o)-Austria laid down a set of rigid restrictions on Nazi activities tonight on the eve of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg's speech explaining his side of the new Austro-German agreement. The new order, issued by the de- partment of security, banned the wearing of Nazi insignia and Nazi uniforms, prohibited, Nazi party ac- tivity and limted the use of Nazi songs and the greeting "Heil Hitler." "Heil Hitler" would be tolerated, the order said, only if spoken with- out intent to political demonstration. And Nazi songs were forbidden ex- cept on occasions approved by the Fatherland front. The flag law was unchanged, which means the swastika flag may be dis- played in hotels by German citizens but only beside an Austrian flag of equal size.I The decree brought acute disap- pointment to the Nazis, particularly because it came from the security de- partment which is controlled by Ar- thur Seysz-Inquart, new minister friendly to Reichsfuehrer Hitler. A brisk challenge to the Nazis was voiced by Vienna's Catholic mayor, Richard Schmidz, at a meeting of 4,000 members of the Fatherland Front. "We have tolerated a lot," the mayor said, "but up to now we have preserved discipline. Our unchal- lengeable motto remans 'Liberty and Atistrian Independence.'" Police precautions were redoubled as nervousness mounted on the eve of Schuschnigg's speech.

See U.S. Tired Of Blind Date With Death Characterizing the American people as "tired of having Congress make a blind date with Death for them," Sidney Davidson, '40, upheld the af- firmative in the no-decision debate with University of Illinois "Resolved: That the Ludlow Amendment Be Adopted." "The people are not fit to decide foreign policy. They have not the knowledge," countered Jack Bryan of Illinois, upholding the negative. The other speakers were Jack Schu- ler, '40, and Norman Hannah of Illi- nois. Questions and criticisms in the open discussion that followed indi- cated further that the audience was as widely divided on the question as the speakers themselves.
