Inconsistent US Policies Condemned By Kollmorgen
inconsistent foreign policies were condemned by Dr. Walte Kollmorgen, chairman of the geography department, in an address to the International Relations club Thursday evening in the Uni in
The intelligent use of words by our representatives in Washington, D.C., has reached an all time low in relation to the policies governing the various bureaus, Dr. Kollmorgen told the club after the L.R.C banquet.
He said that the American people are chided daily about their demand for disarmament after World War II. This is Washington's fault, Dr. Kolmorgen said. Such slogans as "war for eternal peace," "war to end all wars" and "war for the four freedoms" were the cause of the demand for disarmaments, he stated.
Dr. Kollmorgen pointed out two assumptions that the American people accepted. The first, he said, was the assumption that Germany, Italy and Japan are aggressive and these powers were eliminated, we would have peace. So the people demanded a liquidation of the aggressors.
Dr. Kollmorgen extended this and said that the people even wrote that no German could be forced to serve in the armed forces without the country being branded as an aggressor. In Japan the army was eliminated as such and set up as a police force. It was assumed that after this liquidation we would have peace.
The second assumption that Dr Kollmorgen mentioned was that the last war was a war to end all wars. The unfamiliarity of the American people with geopolitics was given as the reason for the belief in this organ.
"We would like to feel that we have everything under control," Dr. Kollmorgen said. The forces that take a nation to war should be studied. But there have been very few American writers on geopolitics.
He stated that Mackinder, a European geopologist, developed the "world island" theory which was epitomized as follows: "Who rules East Europe commands the heartland. Who rules the heartland commands the world island. Who rules the world island commands the world."
Dr. Kollmorgen pointed out that the world was not ready for world government. He gave two reasons for this: the world is full of grievances because of the series of wars and there is a poor distribution of wealth. He also mentioned the population pressure as a factor in the case against world government. He said that the U.S. in terms of industry and luxuries represents the world standard.
Dr. Kollmorgen stated that the power will have to be equalized according to population if world government is to be formed, for after all it is man that will be governed. The trouble with this is that countries with a population of three or four million will out-represent other countries and will make demands for property. Government will then become a dispenser of goods and not a dispenser of justice.

Requests for teachers are received each year from all over America and many foreign countries by the teacher appointment bureau. Now in its 48th year, the bureau has had 47,052 calls for teachers,has filled 8,514 positions,and has 23,589 persons registered now.
Mr. W. M. Gaylord, from City Utilities of Springfield, Mo., will interview June and August graduates in mechanical and petroleum engineering on Tuesday, Feb. 13.

Qualified men in chemical, civil mechanical, and petroleum engineering will be interviewed Thursday, Feb. 15, for employment in the Junior Engineer Training school of Cities Service Oil company, Bartlesville, Okla.
Representatives from four industrial companies will hold interviews with engineering students next week. A schedule of these interviews may be signed in the office of Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering.
Petroleum Into Spotlight
On Monday, Feb. 12 representatives of the A.C. Spark Plug division, General Motors, in Milwaukee and the Spencer Chemical company of Pittsburg, Kans., will be here.
The General Motors representative is interested in all engineering majors and men working on advanced degrees for work in the manufacture, development, and design of automatic electro-mechanical airborne instruments. The Spencer company representatives would prefer men in the upper half of their class.
The petroleum industry, with a present dollars and cents output 350 times that of 1900, takes the spotlight in a half century of mineral production in Kansas, said Earl K. Nixon of the State Geological Survey at the mineral industries council meeting at the University Wednesday.
Russia-China Tie-Up Guess Work
An advisory body to the State Geological Survey, the council is composed of 12 Kansasans. Council members who attended this meeting were J. E. Missimer, Russell; Howard Carey, Hutchinson; Benjamin O. Weaver, Mullinville, and Charles Cook, Concordia.
Dr. John C. Frye, executive director of the Survey, reviewed Survey activities and plans at the meeting, Dr. R. C. Moore, research director of the Survey, described fundamental research activities, and Miss Ada Swineford, Survey petrologist, demonstrated the results of electra microscope studies of Kansas clays.
Gesturing with his cigarette holder, Ernest K. Lindley, chief of News-week's Washington news bureau, settled back in the comfortable living room of the Dolphin Simon's home and expressed his views on the world situation.
"Whether or not Russia and Communist China will continue to be friendly with each other is purely a matter of guesswork." He added that any agreement we might reach with China would probably be made one we made with Marshall Tso. Two, who is supposedly friendly to us, nevertheless has definitely not broken with Russia.
He is the son of the late Ernest H Lindley, chancellor of the University from 1920 to 1939.
Asked if he thought building up our armed forces was any assurance of peace, Mr. Lindley replied that
he believed "a continued build up of not just the army, but all our armed services, will cause the Russians to be very careful of any political indiscretions that might result in an all-out war."
Mr. Lindley said the armed Chinese Nationalist army on Formosa makes it necessary for the Chinese Reds to keep troops stationed on the mainland opposite Formosa, when they might be used in Korea or elsewhere.
Mr. Lindley was asked if he thought the Chinese Communists would be satisfied if the U.N. got out of Korea, or if they would merely use that as a stepping stone for further aggression in the Pacific.
"The Russians and the Chinese are aggressors and certainly should be treated as such," he said.
He added that he personally doesn't think the Chinese can push us out of Korea but, if they should succeed "we certainly wouldn't permit them to follow a program of expansion in the Pacific."
He said that if it comes to a show-down India will be our ally. He has talked with Prime Minister Nehru and doesn't believe Nehru would compromise India by becoming allied with Russia in a war against the Western world.
At this point Mr. Lindley stood up and excused himself, saying he wanted to take a last minute glance at his notes for the speech he was scheduled to make at the special convocation that marked the second anniversary of annual lectures sponsored by the William Allen White Foundation.
Last year calls came from 33 states, the canal zone, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Hawaii. Requests from foreign countries came from Belgium, Burma, France, Great Britain, Jamaica, Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and the Philippines.
The national mobilization program will take out many of the year's prospective teachers, according to Prof. H. E. Chandler, who directs the bureau. The number of women entering the teaching field is also smaller. Kansas has 3,200 men in teaching, but only 2,500 women.
