Lippmann Urges British,American Russian Alliance
In his latest book, "U. S. Foreign Policy," which was the July Book-of-the-Month Club choice, Walter Lippman urges the formation of a Post-war "nuclear alliance" among the United States, Britain, and Russia.
Maintenance of the world order in which America lives depends upon existence of such an alliance.
Lippmann contends that the United States had had no foreign policy since the Spanish-American war, when we acquired an imperialistic attitude and committed ourselves to the protection of the vast Pacific. Such a commitment was made without adequate power to carry it out, with the result apparent in the present situation in that ocean.
The thesis of the book is that the United States must not make commitments which it is unable to carry out at any time. The United States is not strong enough to maintain promises, in central or even western Europe without aid from other countries nor is she strong enough to maintain promises in Asia. Natural allies of this nation are Britain, in western Europe and on the world's seas, and Russia, in central Europe and Asia, according to Mr. Lippmann.
"In foreign relations, as in all other relations, a policy has been formed only when commitments and powers have been brought into balance. This is the forgotten principle which must be recovered and restored to the first place in American thought if the nation is to achieve the foreign policy which it so desperately wants.
"Without the controlling principle that the nation must maintain its objectives and its power in equilibrium, its purposes with its means and its means equal to its purposes, its commitments related to its resources and its resources adequate to its commitments, it is impossible to think about foreign affairs.
Because of geographical positions, with potential powerful enemies between Britain and Russia and between Russia and the United States, the signatory powers of the triple alliance would be loath to disrupt the pact, believes Mr. Lippmann.
He advances the idea that should any one of the three great powers reach out for territory or power, another member or members of the alliance would restore the power of intermediate countries and would try to erect a balance of power against the aggressor. "The postwar era would thus be transformed . . . into a pre-war era." Lippmann realistically acknowledges. But he points out that the signatory powers would recognize the possibility of disrupting the alliance and would be careful not to disturb its organization by such aggrandizement.
Chiefly for the foregoing reason, he writes, the alliance could not hold together if it did not "operate within the limitations of an international order that preserves the national liberties of other peoples." The chief powers would not remain

Column
The girls on the campus now wish heartily that the V-12 boys would find out for sure when they are to get out. It's becoming confusing to change dates so rapidly from Thursday to Wednesday night. . . Jean Cody and Mary Margaret Reynolds, Chi O's, were writing long notes in a psychology class this week. Fletcher McCord, teacher, in desperation, picked up a KANSAN, and began folding it and tearing it. At the end of the class period, McCord walked over to the girls "Here, you two," he said and handed them some paper. When they unfolded it, there was a beautiful string of paper dolls.
Dell Love, a K.U. student who won the distinguished flying cross in London recently, called his Irvin Susson, from the ship, are hoping to see him.
mother from New York that he claims this column is getting corny. might be home soon. All his friends Let's not take a student poll on that. . . I wish to apologize to Phil Butler, Jim Baker, Billy Lee, and Vance Reynolds for saying that they came to K.U. from Washington U. Not at all, they came from Washington State. If similar to conditions in Kansas—the difference is all important.
Clark Hilton, Sig Alph, and Martha Euler, Chi O, definitely like the new closing hours. They say it gives them two hours to say good-night instead of the one they had been using.
Eight Initiated To Pi Lambda Theta
Eight women were initiated into Pi Lambda Theta, education sorority, at a dinner at the Hearth last night, J. W. Twente, acting dean of the School of Education, was the speaker.
Initiated were Winifred Hargrove, Annette Steinlein, Ida Day Holzopfel, Wilma Shields, Nora Pearl Wantland, Helen Oleta Woleslagel, Alma Morrison, and Justine Peterson. All are enrolled in the School of Education.
Jeanne Scott, delegate to the recent national convention of Pi Lambda Theta chapters, presented a report of the convention. Dorothy Mae Nelson, graduate, sang.

united if they became rivals for domination of any independent country.
However, we fail to see how all peoples of the world are to have democratic government and live peacefully merely by the world's three most powerful nations leaving them to themselves. It is a point not discussed in Mr. Lippmann's book and is one of the points in favor of a strong world governmental organization.
Miss Pauline Jacobson of Oskaloosa spent the first of the week with Miss Mary Beth Shultz, sophomore, at Westminster hall.
The action of the All-Student Council in setting up a permanent archive for all University documents and reports brings to mind a little room on the main floor of Watson library. The room is always kept locked.
'Vault' Holds Rare Books, Documents
Inside that room are kept rare books—those that bring high prices on the market. But most of the material in that room could not be replaced for any amount if it were mislaid. If you use a book from this room, you are requested to place your name, address, and telephone number on the card, and under no circumstances can you take the book out of the building.
Miss Edith Stodard of Burlingame came Monday to visit until Friday with her sister, Miss Jean Stodard, at Watkins hall.
Material kept in the "vault," as librarians call the room, consists of a few rare editions of Shakespeare and other well-known authors; clippings concerning former great personalities and officials on the Hill; complete histories of the University; documents dealing with early events on the Hill, and many volumes dealing with legislative procedure of the state of Kansas. Besides that, there are the early copies of all Hill publications—the Kwir book, the Quivera, and all the other early University annuals. Complete files of the University Daily Kansan, the Graduate Magazine, Jayhawker, and Sour Owl are kept.
Almost every book written by a Kansas, or about a Kansas, is kept locked in the room. Copies of the theses of all candidates for doctors' degrees, works of Kate Stephens, the life of Buffalo Bill Cody, numerous tales about John Brown, and books on the histories of various counties and communities of Kansas are filed for reference.
Scrapbooks concerning University alumni, athletes, faculty members, and students are kept up to date and added to the hundreds of Kansas books already assembled.
There are volumes of material on Quantrill's raid, early history of Kansas, and even a volume of clip-rings concerning the dust storms of the western part of the state. One large book is filled with the feats of the "Kansas Flyer," Glenn Cunningham.
Thanks to the policy of the library staff, these interesting books and pamphlets are assembled and protected, so that some day, if someone wants to write a complete history of Kansas, or of the University, all of the material he will need will be preserved in one place.
Authorized Parties
SATURDAY, JULY 17:
Independent Student Association dance in Union Lounge, 9 to 12 p.m.
Marie Miller Assistant to Advisor of Women
Wow,—we take it all back. That famous Kansas heat arrived recently, and it is all that anyone ever talked about.
The local softball league started with a bang last Tuesday night, with Colonel Washington on the mound. Lt. Buhl behind the plate, and Dr. "Phog" Allen calling the balls and strikes. The Navy's Ship's Company team bowed to the Haskell Indians 8 to 9 in the first game of the evening, while the Machinist's Mates took the measure of the Air Cadets 13 to 2. The Machinists Mates returned to the ball diamond warfare again Wednesday night and turned back the strong K.U. boys aggregation by a score of 4 to 0. The Machinists Mates' showing in their first two games makes them one of the favorites to win the title this year.
'Strictly Scuttlebutt'
Swimming has started on the campus for those men being trained by the Navy. To date the percentage of non-qualified swimmers has been below average, according to Lt. (jg) Weeks, the physical training officer. It seems as though the middle west has swimmers even though they don't have a lot of water.
Women
The Machinists Mates Training School was honored with the visit Thursday of Rear Admiral E. G. Morrell, District Supply Officer of the Ninth Naval District. Accompanying Admiral Morrell were Lt. A. Von Gontard, Lt. D. W. Davis, and Lt. (jg) R. G. Cook.
More than 2,500,000 dog licenses were issued in Britain during the year ended March 31, 1942.
To Have Directory Published Soon
The Summer Session Directory will be out soon, according to Dan Ragle, editor of the directory. The cover has been completed, and the names of the regular summer session students have been assembled. They are waiting to complete the directory with the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the Navy V-12 engineers.
"If anyone has changed residence since he registered for the Summer Session Directory, we would like to have him report to the registrar's office." Ragle requested. "In that way, we can avoid any unnecessary mistakes."
A list of all available rooms for women for the fall semester will be published by August 1, according to Miss Marie Miller, assistant to the adviser of women.
To Publish List Of Women's Rooms
"We would appreciate having anyone call us who has rooms to rent to college women," said Miss Miller. "We will use this data in compiling the list."
