Kansan Comment
Welcome, Everybody
Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
Welcome! Welcome!
The first welcome is for the delegates of the Independent Students Association. The second welcome is for the Academy of Science. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth welcomes are for the delegates to the Spring Educational conference, the American Association of University Professors, the Kansas Entomological Society, and any other visitors who happen to come up on the Hill.
The Kansan is glad to see all of you, and hopes you have a fine time while here. And remember that if you're in this territory again, you'll be welcome at the University.
United States Becomes Foreign - Tourist Conscious
Uncle Sam has gone into the travel business. In addition to his numerous and diversified previous activities the indefatigable Yankee has established a travel bureau with headquarters in Washington, D.C., and field stations in New York City and San Francisco.
The realization that in 1929 Americans were estimated to have spent 812 million dollars abroad, while foreign tourists spent only 166 million dollars here stirred the government to attempt a more even balance of travel trade.
The purpose of the bureau is not to discourage both Americans and foreigners to see America. After all, the steamships make roundtips, and salt air is just as beneficial to the lungs of Frenchmen as it is for Americans.
At present the United States travel bureau is on a temporary experimental basis, but if Congress passes the proposed bill the bureau's expenses will be included in the budget of the Department of the Interior.
Every citizen can visualize the value of the bureau. It would serve as a clearing house and coordinator for all travel information. An increase in domestic sight-seeking might bring a boom for better roads, and a removal of some of the eaveses that clutter up our countryside.
Not only would increased international and intersectional good will and understanding be engendered by an intelligent national self-advertising campaign, but the success of such a scheme would be a godsend to American railroads, bus lines, tourist camps, filling stations, and hot dog stands.
Britain's Diplomacy Shows Few Signs of Stop-Hitlerism
Great Britain's idea of a "stop-Hitler" coalition among the non-axis countries of Europe is good, although about eight years too late. British constant action—or rather inaction—at the aggressions of the dictatorial nations has destroyed much of the confidence in her leadership in such a movement. If Britain desires to know why there is international anarchy in the world of today, she might review her foreign policy during the last eight years.
In 1931 Japan invaded Manchuria. England refused to cooperate with the United States in applying economic pressure and a non-recognition policy. Britain also effectively blocked any steps the League of Nations considered taking.
Italy, encouraged by Japan's successful example of land-grabbing, invaded Ethiopia. The smaller countries in the League wanted to clap an economic embargo on Italy—an embargo that would have forced Mussolini to back down. But Britain said no. Instead she sent Sir Samuel Hoare to confer with Laval, the head of the French government, on giving Italy Ethiopia.
In 1936, the Spanish civil war broke out. Leon Blum, the premier of France, realized that Italy and Germany were aiding the Rebels. To counterattack this aid, Blum decided to allow the Loyalists—the legal government of Spain—to buy munitions, supplies, and food from France. But Britain stopped that plan. Rather abruptly she informed the French premier that she would not back France up in any such action. By this threat, Britain forced France to sign and carry out a non-intervention agreement. It was truly a masterpiece of diplomacy.
When Hitler took Austria, Great Britain had no thought of acting. She philosophically recalled that Austria always had been something of a problem and thought that maybe Austrio-German union was the way to solve it, anyway. England did decide, though, that she should give Hitler a few "tsk, tsks" on the methods employed.
Hitler threatened Czechoslovakia last September. Russia and Czechoslovakia were ready to call Hitler's bluff. But Chamberlain refused to consult with Russia or Czechoslovakia about a stop-Hitler pact; Chamberlain instead flew to Munich and gave Hitler a third of Czechoslovakia.
This month Hitler took over the rest of
Czechoslovakia. It was typical—much too typical—of British dealings with the dictators that Chamberlain should say: "I regret the German action deeply." Aroused public opinion, however, forced the prime minister to translate his regrets into action. He sent a strong (for Britain) protest to Der Fuehrer.
Now Chamberlain is busily organizing a stop-Hitler movement. But even if it materializes, we feel that Hitler and Mussolini should give England an honorary position in the axis —for surely Great Britain's diplomacy has aided them.
How Does a Fish Feel, Anyway?
Now that somebody has brought up the subject, just how does a fish feel?
Like a lot of other things, a fish's feelings were taken more or less for granted by most people until yesterday, when Robert F, Sellar, president of the Boston Animal Rescue League, protested against the current craze of goldfish gulping by college students. Possibly he will someday take his place among the immortals for having said, "Nobody knows how a fish feels."
In its broader psychological aspects, the question of how a goldfish feels offers much about which to conjecture. It may be safely concluded, however, from innumerable observations that a goldfish's emotive behavior is just a bit disappointing. None has yet been known to weep from sorrow, curse with anger, or laug at something funny—which would indicate no sense of humor. As a matter of fact, a goldfish does little more than emit complete boredom, and being a bore, what he suffers at the hands of an ambitious college student is no more than what any bore deserves.
It follows then, though somewhat illogically, that the gobbling of goldfish is perfectly permissible from a moral and ethical point of view. However, one must not overlook the far-reaching and possibly drastic consequences of such reversion to pelicanism. Then, too, there is always the possibility that what is now lightly booked upon as the pastime of a few eccentric may, in the future, affect the lives of many. Remember, for example, what Mah Jong or Walkathons or Endurance Flying or Tree Sitting or a game called Monopied did to America.
