PAGE TWG UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS (2016) 1 THURSDAY OCTOBER 10 1939 Kansan Comment Lindbergh: American Citizen Lindbergh, once an international hero, now faces the loss of old friendships. Since his speech Friday night when he suggested the independence of Britain's possessions in our hemisphere, Lindbergh has fallen in British estimation. London papers head-lined him as "American Trouble-Maker Number 1" and "Nazi Pet." The British press assailed him for "apparently developing the Hitler mind" and "puerile attempts" to split our empire. Such a shift in attitude contrasts violently with the predigested Americanized propaganda the British have given us since September 1. The Lone Eagle is still a great hero to millions of Americans. His story has caught the imagination and heart of his countrymen. When Lindbergh and his family left the country after the Hauptmann trial, there was sympathy, not criticism, for the man. The English received him cordially, and the French and Germans heaped honors on him. The strength of public approval did not indorse so heartily Lindbergh's informal ambassadorship, but his return to this country as an aid to the government in aviation was lauded by the press. Lindbergh had the right as an authority and as an American citizen to express his views upon Canada and other British possessions. His point that these possessions close to this country endanger our neutrality is a logical one, and certainly not an innovation. The mere fact that he was a guest in England does not prevent him from taking a stand favoring what he believes to be for the good of his country. The savage criticism from England rests on two foundations. First, the Colonel accepted a medal from the Nazi government. Second, as an aviation authority, he informed the British that their potential ally, Russia had an airforce inferior to that of Nazi Germany. The rebellatl of these arguments is obvious, a medal courteously offered cannot be refused and acceptance of such an honor does not brand one a Nazi. Certainly an opinion which disagrees with public opinion need not necessarily be erroneous. The British propaganda machine slipped a cog in attacking Charles Lindberg at a time when trivialities assume gigantic proportions and news that is laughable in peacetime becomes a document of state importance. Finland: Honest Debtor Finland, the little country best known in the United States as the only nation which annually pays its installment on the war debt, is among the small Baltic countries which are "on the spot" today as Stalin continues his efforts to widen the economic and political spheres of his country. Russian proposals to Finland are believed to concern the establishment of bases controlling sea lanes, particularly with regard to the Aland islands. The Aland archipelago is made up of 6,300 islands, rocky and small, which dot the Baltic sea at its narrowest point between Finland and Sweden. The Aland islands dominate not only the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia, with its many ports, but also the region north of Stockholm, and the westernmost corner of Finland. Apart from that, the islands control all movements to and from Leningrad. Thus they are of major strategic importance to Russia not only in safeguarding Leningrad but also because control of them means freedom of movement in the Baltic. By the Convention of 1921 entered into by Finland and Sweden and signed by the great powers and all other states interested in the Baltic with the exception of Russia, which was diplomatically isolated in that year, the islands are not fortified. In recent years, Finland sensed the danger which now is at hand and obtained the consent of the League to militize the islands. The plans for defense were never carried out, however, because of Russian opposition and Sweden's fear of antagonizing Russia. The Aland islands, which have a population of thirty thousand, are ethnologically neither Finnish nor Russian, but Swedish. Soviet pressure exerted against Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania has been successful and in final effect, has reduced them to Russian near-protectorates. Negotiations between Russia and Finland are temporarily in suspension. In the meantime the United States has repledged its friendship with Finland. Finland, itself, in its short history as an independent republic, has a strong tradition of democracy. Its capitulation to Russia would mean a loss to the democratic countries proportionately far greater than its actual geographical size. Country Club Accusations We frequently hear criticisms of the so-called "country club" life supposedly led here at the University. These criticisms come from the thousands we have left at home—people who read their newspapers and have ventured down to Chapel Hill perhaps once or twice for a football week-end. They question the value of the vegetable existence they see many of us leading here in the idyllic surroundings of this peaceful southern village. Many times they question our freedom. The University man is isolated and free— ... from the harsh realities of the outer world—from the disaste of tobacco markets that might not open, from the horrors of man destroying himself in the old world, from the feeling of insecurity that comes when a bank account is no longer there. And most of all, sheltered as he is from these realities, the University man is free—free to ponder his Plato or drink his glass of beer—free to make what he will of his opportunity—free to live the life of his own choosing, be i the "country club" variety or otherwise. We like to feel this is the true liberalism w find in Chapel Hill—liberalism with roots in th University administration itself. Under the supervision of none but himsel the Carolina man gets a taste of the real free dom he is to know later. The issue squared with him as to how he shall use it. And so we meet the criticism that life at Chapel Hill is a life of ease—the "country club" variety—with the firm conviction that those who make it so here would do no differently elsewhere; and that all—the youth of a generation—are getting an opportunity to find out the true stuff they are made of. The Daily TarHeel; U. of N. Carolina. Campus Opinion To The Editor: Monopoly When a student at the University of Kansas must buy his test books, why must he buy them from the bookstore? On very few other campuses would you find the same book situation as on Mt. Oread. Most schools have more than one book store where the students of English are required to purchase books after having tuition and other college expenses. With only one store on the campus where new book may be bought, this store has an undisputed monopoly Any University as large as Kansas should have competition on the book-selling racket. Why doesn't the Men's Student Council do something about this poor system of purchasing books? Many colleges have made a success of cooperative book-stores.

THE VODER, nicknamed Pedro, is an amazing electrical device which actually talks—the first machine in the world to do that! By pressing keys, singly or in combination, a skilled operator can make Pedro talk in almost human fashion—with varying inflections and in either a man's or a woman's voice. The Voder is an outgrowth of fundamental research in speech sounds, articulation and voice reproduction being carried on at Bell Telephone Laboratories. Such studies have led—and will lead—to constantly improving telephone service for you. Of course, this insistent gentleman is referring to our Bus Line. THE HOLD THAT LINE!
