'Great Britain No Longer World Power,' Wellock Tells Audience
"Great Britain is no longer a great world power."
So declared Wilfred Wellock, English journalist, author, and world observer, in his speech on "British Foreign Policy" Tuesday night in the Plymouth Congregational church.
"Great Britain doesn't have the great man power, machine power, military force, and financial strength necessary to be a great world power," he added. "Also, she is in danger of $ \textcircled{5} $ bankrunkty."
All of the dominions of Great Britain are absolutely free, and no longer supply her with markets for her finished products nor raw materials for her factories. Mr. Wellock told his audience. The United States has taken most of them over, as far as influence is concerned.
Three different attitudes toward Russia prevail in Great Britain, Mr. Wellock said.
The rightist movement favors the "Be tough with 'em" attitude, and is led by Mr. Churchill.
The middle line, favored by Mr. Bevins and the British cabinet, advocates working in harmony with Russia and settling each issue as it arises.
The leftist group in the Labor party wants the British policy oriented with the Russian, and thinks Russia should have control of the Black sea, the Dardanelles, and should have access to the Mediterranean.
He referred to India frequently throughout his speech and summed up the British-Indian situation with:
"British influence is being pushed from India, and Nehru, Indian prime minister, hopes to form a bloc of far eastern countries that, by unified action, can gain for themselves political, racial, and economic freedom."
English Lecturer Is Man With A 'Past'
He has been a factory worker, a Methodist preacher, a university student, a free lance writer, a lecturer, and a Member of Parliament.
White-haired Wilfred Wellock British labor leader who will speak today at K.U., has as colorful a "past" as any dignified British gen tieman can claim.
Under the sponsorship of the American Friends Service committee, Mr. Wellock will speak at 4 p.m. today in Frank Strong auditorium on the "British Labor Party."
After leaving Edinburgh University, he was a free lance writer and lecturer.
Born in Lancashire, England. Mr. Wellock went to work in a cotton factory as a small boy. He became a lay Methodist minister at the age of 18 and by the time he was 21, he was preaching no less than 48 Sundays a year.
He spent World War I in a British camp for conscientious objectors. In the winter of 1919 he toured Germany for six months, making a survey of conditions for English peace societies. Another lecture tour in England followed.
He was elected to Parliament from Stourbridge and served in this capacity for five years.

Midweek Dispute Is Continued
The case of Joan Woodward vs. Larry McSpadden, a dispute over who has power to have Midweek dances, has been continued until the next session of the student court.
Opening arguments were presented Tuesday night at the court session in Green hall by Miss Woodward's attorney, William Cole, and McSpadden's counsel, John Q. Bowce.
Gist of the testimony was this:
Miss Woodward said her powers as president of the Student Union Activities committee are "maintaining and operating the Student Union building for the enjoyment and recreation of the students" and said this allows her to have dances in the Union.
McSpadden told the court that his powers as Varsity dance manager are "operating, supervising and directing all university dances in conjunction with the A.S.C. social committee."
(Some observers felt that a hyphen may be the key point in the controversy.
(Did the writers of the student constitution mean "All university dances" are under the dance manager, as written? Or did they intend to make only "All-University dances" under the dance manager's supervision?)
After presentation of the plaintiff's testimony and cross-examination, Defense Counsel Royce demurred, saying "no case has been presented because the evidence failed to show the plaintiff had any power to hold a Midweek dance."
Malcolm Miller, chief justice, overruled the demurrier which if granted would have given McSpadden the verdict at once. Miller said he wanted to hear the rest of the evidence, but the defense can use the demurrer if it appeals the court decision.
Union Will Sponsor Free Dance Tonight
Despite the current controversy over Midweek dances and who can organize them, there will be a dance tonight open to all University students.
The dance, from 7:30 to 9 tonight in the Kansas room of the Union, is under the sponsorship of the Union Activities committee, Keith Wilson, social chairman, said today.

Veterans Checks Await Claimants
He has about 350 government subsistence checks for student veterans, and no one will pick them up.
"If a veteran has received a letter of award; forwarded from this office, but no subsistence check, he should check with us to see whether we have his money." Dr. Elbel explained. "We'll have to send these checks back to the U.S. treasury soon, if they're not claimed."
A.V.C. Is Voted Council Seat
After 30 minutes of discussion, the All-Student Council voted Tuesday night to award the vacant organizational seat on the council to the American Veterans' committee.
James Hunsucker, representing the A.V.C., presented a petition to the Council and listed reasons the A.V.C. should have Council representation.
The Sunflower Students organization, represented by Carl Baker, presented the only other petition for representation.
Discussion of the two petitions followed and a vote was taken which favored the A.V.C., 12 to 6.
Carrillo McCue, chairman of the finance committee, recommended a contribution of $50 to the World Student Service Fund. The council approved the recommendation unanimously.
The finance committee also recommended an appropriation of $75 to support an initial issue of the campus editorial publication known as "The Dove."
George Caldwell, chairman of the charter committee, announced the appointme nt of two new members to Forums board. They are Keith Wilson and Norman Jennings.
Larry Miller reported the plans of Forums board.
In the absence of A.S.C. president Howard Engleman, vice-president John Irwin presided. Other members, absent were Marjorie Burtscher, Charles Hall, Eloise Hodgson, John May, Owen Peck, Emily Stacey and Keith Wilson.
He pointed out that the first program to be presented by the board will go a lecture by Russian General Victor Yakhontoff tonight.
