Just how is he going to administer cash benefits to farmers? For an- swers, we can await subsequent speeches and hope that he will be somewhat more definite then. But we suspect he will keep beating around the bush. That is the way we see Governor Landon's ac- ceptance speech at its face value, but there is a large question in our minds as to whether the Republican nominee will really try to do what he says he will. It is one thing to declare for this or that, but it is another to try and accomplish this or that with Hearst whispering in one ear, the American Liberty League in the other, and the NationalAssociation of Manufacturers hinting to him that he should crack down on labor or that all those on relief are fakers. And all these interests, interests which have shown themselves to be for reaction, are composed of those men who are putting Governor Landon in the race. w Unless Governor Landon is a stronger man than z he has given us reason to believe, the United States will be in for a restoration of the conditions of 1929 if the Republican party is successful. .. a a e t . s e p s r e t mistic vegetarian and teacher of football to Cen- tral American Indians.

A Review Of Reviewers To the Editor: Aldous Huxley seems to have presented a puzzle of serious proportions to the reviewers of "Eyeless in Gaza." And Miss Bromage and Mr. Pritchard seem to me to be among the puzzled ones in their Daily reviews of July 24 and 25. BUSINESS STAFF Telephone 2-1214 BUSINESS MANAGER..........GEORGE H.

G OVERNOR LANDON attacked Mr. Roosevelt's most vulnerable policy when he reaffirmed his allegiance to the constitu- tion as a means of gaining his ends. Although far behind the times in many ways, the consti- tution deserves the reverence generally accorded it, and Mr. Roosevelt has too often belittled the document and sought to pass laws that are plainly not within the Congress' power under the present constitution. But gratifying as this principle is, we should be concerned more with what Mr. Landon will do in his constitutional way. The austerity of the constitution can afford to be softened for the good of the nation.g t A C ( yl JI The striking thing of Mr. Landon's speech is that he is in accord witf Roosevelt on almost every major issue. In attacking the Roosevelt adminis- tration of relief, he says there is no future on relief rolls. But later he recognizes that relief is essential "to those who need relief." The differ- ence between the Roosevelt policy and the Landon policy is explained by the extravagance charged to the administration; .Landon's economies will not be taken out of "the allotment to the unem- ployed. We will take them from the hides of political exploiters." 1 I 1 .1 The great problem in relief is not economy but actual relief, although economy should be re- spected; but an administration that is slashing to the bone, as Landon's would probably be, will not take care of even the needy. Moreover Landon, although he admits the temporary qualities of Roosevelt's acts and implies their expediency, fails to discount his criticism for the vastness of the relief administration. It would take America's best profit-seeking business men to run relief the way Landon claims he will run it. As to Governor Landon's farm policy, it corre- sponds to that of President Roosevelt. True, the governor deprecates the AAA scarcity program, but that is a thing of the past anyway. Landon would institute a program of soil conservation, which Roosevelt has already adopted. (It might be worth mentioning in passing that the Kansas soil conservation program, devised by Mr. Landon, was invalidated by the supreme court of Kansas. Even the best of men misinterpret constitutions). It is presumed that Mr. Landon will work for higher tariffs, because "our farmers are entitled to all the home market they can supply without injustice to the consumer." If Governor Landon- knew, as every educated person today knows, that a high tariff puts up a barrier to exporting (because it hampers free, exchange of goods), he would realize that he is advocating a policy diametrically opposed to his ends of increasing trade. If Mr. Landon is elected, Labor will probably experience its worst setback in recent times. "The right of labor to organize," the Republican can- didate says, "means to me the right of employes to join any type of union they prefer, whether it covers their plant, their craft or their indus- try." i 1 c r i X i E c i i F s c i] v t c t: th T 0 st V A : ir pE P.1 rT sc To be classified as surrealist on one day and dadaist on the next is rare distinction for Mr. Huxley if not for his reviewers. What Miss Bro- mage mistakenly terms surrealism is Mr. Hux- ley's method of precise, if not complete, biological description.This in turn stemmed originally from Mr. Huxley's now outmoded 'entomological view of man.' I had thought that the equation of biology with realism had not been seriously advocated since the decline of Zola's naturalism, save per- haps by "True Confessions." As for the dadaism which Mr. Pritchard-claims to find in Huxley's "repetitive and contrapuntal use of the word 'peace'," I should like to refer the reviewer to the Psalms of David for a parallel in thought-content as well as in style. Now David too may have been influenced by dadaism, but I should like to have more proof before agreeing to so startling a hypothesis. Similarly with Huxley. But it is not these minor misreadings of the text with which I am mainly concerned here. Any sensitive reader of "Point Counterpoint" and of "'Brave New World" must have felt that the auc- torial eyes which peered so piercingly and "sci- entifically" through the microscope upon impaled human insects were the eyes of a moralist, though the scientist made the report of laboratory find- ings. The same reader must have felt certain that ultimately the moralist would speak. There was alwayes a fear on my part that the moralist might silence the scientist completely, and, in the role of puritan, might sweep both microscope and specimens into the waste jar, while he preached to a lost world. This, thanks be to the genes of Thomas Henry Huxley, his grandson, the novelist, has not done. It is true that Miss Bromage, in speaking of 'the peculiarly vicious circle of men and women' in which Huxley's hero, Anthony Beavis, is placed, seems to decide the role of puritan for the au- thor. Why 'vicious'? Doesn't this violate thet new attitude of love for humanity which Huxley rediscovers in the novel? These men and women are lost, they lack a sense of direction and of human worth, they are seeking feverishly the an-1 esthesia of novel experience. But they are hardly more vicious than any other modern group; than,e et us say, Michigan's summer school enrollment, though they are more interesting in their fund of information and their facility of expression..I Miss Bromage says elsewhere in her review thati t is time to stop speaking of Huxley's obscene ap-X proach, I agree. And is it not also time to stopc speakiuig self-righteously of 'vicious' people. What scientist Huxley adds to his microscopet n his new novel is a stereoscopic attachment which nables him (and us) to see his insects in a newr dimension of love and fellow-feeling. And thec nsects turn out to be men-lovable fellow-men, This is an enormous discovery for Anthony Beavis,c and the story of his spiritual struggle to this newv nsight constitutes a great novel. To speak, as Mr.t ritchard does, of surrender to emotion and de-u ertion of reason is to hide the all-important facty f Huxley's attempt to fertilize a sterile reason bya ategrating with it a 'mystical' (if Mr. Pritchardv wishes it that way) view of the whole man. Anda his whole man is a feeling, thinking, loving socialj reature who feels (knows) with all of himself- he unity in difference of mankind.- Why will not reviewers see further that Huxley s -not opposing the ends of radical social reform? w 'hey will insist on seeing in his program a denial b f "superficial Modern Utopias" and only an in- t rument of individual regeneration, of "individual b ictory over modern paganism." But Huxley has a nthony Beavis declare repeatedly that the ends c f his program are those of Communism. (Example r -p. 247.) It is the forceful means of Communism r which he finds the seeds of self-defeat for those s nds, and which he denies. Beavis, the sociologist, es well that a radical social readjustment must Dme to match economic and technological change nd he says so. (p. 341 et seq.) But beneficial and o hilanthropic ends can only be won by beneficial l nd philanthropic means, reasons our hero, and t aus he evokes the active pacifism of Buddha, Lao ze, Jesus and Gandhi as the proper and con- nant method. World peace is the angle of the hole problem on which he determines to con- " entrate. For two nays every Southern Student would say " Are you going to the Watermelon party and dance. I am, aren't you?" "Sure, wouldn't miss it for a dime." . Sohere these two girls from the south go, look- ing forward to a good old-fashioned social evening. Now Say! That watermelon part was fine, and I'm glad I'm from the South since Dr. Purdom is; so genial, so hospitable, so friendly. But Oh! Boy just wait until you hear about the breaks this green, country girl from the South makes at the dance. On our way to the dance we picked up another girl from the South and one from the "North" (She ought to know). If you have ever been in the south and seen a bunch of happy girls together; well! you will know just how much laughter and fun was going on when we climbed the steps entering the dance hall. We saw a mighty pretty girl sit- ting at the table to take up tickets but that meant nothing to us. We are from the South and girls never pay to go to dances in the South. But this young lady looked at us and said with her eyes, "Well, aren't you going to pay the price?" Finally she did say, "Twenty-five cents, please." This humble writer said to her companion, "Do you want to go a quarter's worth?" Finally we did so, we deposited our 25 cents. I hated powerful bad to spend that quarter just to look at people dance but I did. When this little quarter was deposited we entered that beautiful lobby or lounge where dozens of people were standing, sitting, talking, smoking. We took a love seat. Presently we realized that we were hearing strains of music. One girl said, "Why don't we go in to the ballroom and see them dance? We cer- tainly don't want to hang around here." So here we go. I don't know why your most humble writer pushed herself in ahead of some of the others ex- cept that she may have been a little more anxious tq see the beautiful dresses floating around the room guided by a tall, dark and handsome. I got by the door where several young men were stand- ing and so did my two friends. (One of them had decided that she didn't want to see it a quarter's worth). In just another minute I am sure we' would have seen at least one of those dresses float- ing over the floor but one of the young men we had succeeded in passing says in rather an an- noyed voice, "Just a minute, no one allowed to- night except couples." Well-about that time my southern-something got up and I say, "We came to see them dance. What do you think we paid a quarter for?" "Let's go back and get our quarter." And back we went. Don't think for a minute that I was too timid and country-from the South- to ask for my quarter. No sir ree! We didn't need to pay a quarter to sit in a love seat; we can do that at home. Young people, come south sometime and let us take you to a dance honoring you. LADIES FREE. -Southern Gal. THE DARDANELLES AGREEMENT (From St. Louis Post-Dispatch) The new Dardanelles agreementI signifies that Kemal Ataturk's coun- try is no longer either "the Terrible Turk" or "the Sick Man of Europe," as it has been described at various times in its history. That Turkey asked the other signatory Powers' permission instead of rearming the straits in defiance of the post-war treaties, as Germany did under simi- lar circumstances, cancels the first appellation. The step, in fact, gained for Turkey a more favorable hearing than would have been accorded oth- erwise, especially since the other Powers took delight inpraising Tur- key as a backhanded rebuke to Hit- ler. That the delegates at Mon- treux unanimously recognized Tur- key's rights and viewed her claims respectfully proves that the stigma of the second sobriquet has been re- moved by the nation's reorganization under Ataturk. Turkish ambitions thus are ful- filled, and long-cherished Russian hopes get a partial reward, by the terms of the agreement. Russia wins the right to send as many warships! as she pleases from the Black Sea in- to the Mediteranean, while other na- tions are permitted to send no more than 30,000 tons from the Mediter- anean into the Black Sea. This, with concessions to her merchant shipping gives Russia a virtual lease on the "warm-water port," whose lack dic- tated Czarist foreign policies for so many years. The Dardanelles agreement gives a stimulus to the weakened League of Nations by investing that body with authority to determine under what; conditions in time of war Turkey may close the Dardanelles. En- couragement to the method of con- ference is given, too, by the fact that what might have been a prolonged and acrimonious controversy under other conditions has been settled amicably by a meeting of the Powers concerned.

IA I a I m Primivitism And Civilization To the Editor: At a time when- dictatorships are fighting de- mocracies-barbarism vs. civilization-it is for- tunate that there are books which treat this sub- ject in masterly fashion. Such a stimulating book is The Revolt of the Masses by a Spanish writer, Jose Ortegay Gasset. Here is a passage from the book on primitivism and civilization: "Nature is always with us. It is self-supporting. In the for- ests of nature we can be savage with impunity. We can likewise resolve never to cease being so, without further risk than the coming of other peoples who are not savage. But, in principle, it is possible to have peoples who are perennially primitive. Breyssig has called these "the peoples of perpetual dawn," those who have remained in a motionless, frozen twilight, which never progresses towards midday." "This is what happens in the world which is mere Nature. But it does not happen in the world of civilization which is ours. Civilization is not 'just there,' it is not self-suporting. It is artifi- cial and requires the artist or the artisan. If you want to make use of the advantages of civilization, but are not prepared to concern yourself with the upholding of civilization-you are done. In a trice you find yourself left without civilization. Just a slip, and when you look around everything has vanished into air.. . The jungle is always primitive and, vice versa, everything primitive is mere jungle." -M. Levi Add Twice-Told (but Still-Good) Tales: This happened not too recently at a church wedding in a not too nearby town. The young bride walked slowly down the aisle. As she reached he platform before the altar her dainty foot brushed a potted flower, upsetting it. She looked at the stilled church gravely, then raised her large child-like blue eyes to the sedate face of the minister. Then in clear bell-like tones that reached every part of the auditorium distinctly, he said, "That's a hell of a place to put a lily." --R. J. Schutz in the Emington (Ill.) Joker.

He knows that unless unions actively campaign for members, and Governor Landon would not al- low that, they will never get any; and he must know that without unions on a pretty large scale, labor will never make any progress, for the benev- olence of the employers has been tried and found wanting too often.
