Prof Belknap
Tells Of Life
Ii. 6reeiuhan d
A description of Greenland, its
people and climate, and a more tech-
nical account of glaciation were the
themes of a talk by Prof. Ralph Bel-
knap of the geology department be-
fore a meeting of Alpha Phi Omega,
national service fraternity Wednes-
day night in the Union.
, An inhabitant on top of the vast
Greenland continental glacier four
times, Professor Belknap gave a per-
sonal account of living conditions
and travel on the ice. He com-
mented that the best method of trav-
el is sledging across the ice in win-
ter, when the moon is the only source
of light. He has made distances as
great as 100 miles per day by dog
sledge.
Professor Belknap related details
of reconnaissance inspections by
British and American officials in an
attempt to obtain information for
establishing a naval base on the
southern shore of Greenland, in
proximity to North Atlantic shipping
lanes.

called for.
British failure to retain her boast-
ed domination of the whole Mediter-

might. defer indefinitely any hope
London now has of re-enlisting
French colonial Africa in the war.
It also would bolster Italian morale,
at which British strategy has point-
ed a heavy propaganda barrage in
the belief that it is tottering.
There are other reasons urging
Britain to launch an air attack on
scuthern Italy. Public morale is sup-
posed to be lower there than in
northern or central Italy. South Ital-
ian troops have been little in evi-
dence in the Greek-Albanian cam-
paign. In Africa they were among
the units which surrendered whole-
sale to the British Nile Army at Sidi
Barani and Bardia.
The Nazi-Fascist point air opera-
tions from Sicily may be vulnerable
for still another season. Fueling
planes there for mass usebagainst
the British Mediterranean bases or
fleet represents a serious oil trans-
portation problem. Whatever fuel
Germany supplies to supplement
meager Italian stocks must travel the
!whole length of Italy.
Will End Tomorrow
The famous French film "The
Baker's Wife" will continue its run
8:30 p.m. today at the Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre, under the auspices
of the Art Cinema League.
Brought to Ann Arbor by popular
request, the film opened last night,
and will be shown today and tomor-
row. Tickets may be secured for
35c at the Mendelssohn box office.
The picture tells the story of the
village baker whose marital troubles
provide an upheaval in his commu-
nity. English sub-titles have been
provided by JohnhErskine, noted
American author. The filmtwon the
award recently as "the best foreign
film of the year."

Prof. Schuman Receives Praise
ForAccuracyOf Predicti

liams College, who will speak here
Sunday on the question "Can Amer-
ica Escape War?" has received al-
most nation-wide acclaim during the
past two years for his accuracy in.
predicting current world events.
Back in 1937, when the rest of the
world was certain that there would
be peace in Europe during this de-
cade, Professor Schuman asserted
in his book, "International Politics,"u
that ."war between the Great Powers
will almost certainly break out be-
fore the time arrives for a third edi-
tion of this work." The third edition
was issued late in 1939.
During that same year he asserted
that "Austria would fall peaceably
under Nazi control" while most po-
litical scientists were saying that Hit-
ler would not dare such a move and
that, if he did, a war would result.

Freudian Fanny, that lady of the

exceptional were his pictures and so
popular his lectures, that Chapman
decided to give up investment bank-
ing and devote all his time to his
pictures, his lectures and writing.
In his current film, Chapman
shows his audience how nature takes
care of theproblems of soil erosion
and flood control. In his intimate
movies of America's wild life, he
shows how the original dwellers of
the wilderness lived but also pre-
served the richness of their dwelling
places. The beaver with his skillfully
zonstructed dams created a nation-
wide flood control that endured un-
til the white-man came. These dams
hold back the eroded soil, created
fertile meadows and prevented a rain-
gutted country.
The humble ground squirrel does
his part in the pictures and in the
national economy. His burrows, hon-
eycombing the great plains, the far
west, the east, allowed quantities of
water to penetrate the subsoil in-
stead of flushing the surface and
hurrying off to the oceans.
