PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS THURSDAY. DECEMBER, 1. 1938 Kansan Comment Anti-Trust Enforcement Mav Usher In New N.R.A. Some time next year a question will come un before congress as to whether the anti-trust division staff of the department of justice should be enlarged. This innocent little question will carry with it a large and imposing 'railer—namely, a new substitute for the NRA The new NRA process has hardly begun to seep into the newspapers, but it will be important news before many weeks have passed. Fortunately, Thurman Arnold, as head of the anti-trust division, has proceeded with care and deliberateness, and there has been as yet little of the typical New Deal "floundering." The system would work something like this. First, indictments are instituted against a business concern, charging violation of anti-trust laws. With this sword of Damocles whetted and waiting, the department of justice announces that a way is open for settlement beforehand. The industry's move, then, is to submit a code of practices which it promises to follow. If the government approves, the proceedings against the company are halted by a "consent decree," and the case is closed. Already the policy has been tried in connection with the auto industry. The Chrysler and Ford motor companies submitted a code (having to do with dealer financing) and the cases which had started in court were quashed. General Motors has yet to make a proposition. The "consent decree" process seems a fairly reasonable way of achieving fair trade practices without involving many of the NRA abuses. If the manufacturer wants to go ahead with the case in court, instead of submitting a code, he may—and he may win. Of course it is coercion, but it is also enforcement of the anti-trust laws, which have lain more or less dormant for a number of years. "Straight enforcement" of the Sherman act is not sufficient, and in itself may do much harm to industries which are rightfully large. This new kind of regulation, if wisely developed—and there is the crux, of course—may become an epheohal marker in the history of government-business relations. Dictatorship One Solution For New Car Dilemma With the appearance of some 200 new models in the current automobile show, American families once again are faced with the necessity of keeping up with the Jones. In their attempts to equal their neighbors, auto drivers may be divided roughly into three classes. There are those, first of all, whose income permits the annual purchase of a new car. For this type the problem is selecting a model that will attract the greatest attention and arouse the most admiration. The price and practicability are of no consequence. A second class, lacking the ready cash to purchase a car outright, searches for the credit company with the easiest terms and the lowest down payment. While this type gives the automobile a brief inspection, the make is of secondary importance. Finally the unfortunates who must nurse along their five-year-old beauty for another season, have a problem all their own. They spend their sleepless nights on the trail of some method of bringing Susie up-to-date. The methods they finally employ usually consist of: 1. Buying new seat covers. 2. Repainting the car. 3. Installing new wheels and a modernistic radiator cap. No such problems exist in the dictatorial countries of Europe. In Italy and Germany the automobile question is exclusively for those of the favored few, while Russia has virtually no cars, either as luxury or necessity conveyances. Conquest of China Will Stop Western Trade To British and American industry as a whole, and to British and American factory workers, it matters little whether their products are sold to China directly, or indirectly through Japanese firms. But it does matter if Western trade with China disappears entirely. What would be the consequences of a Japanese victory over China, in respect to Western commerce with the Orient? Western firms and enterprises now established in China would undoubtedly suffer, since Japan's desire is for exclusive control of her new "colonies" in order to enlarge her military power and assure her economic self-sufficiency in so far as that is possible. What has Japan to offer China? A stable government and protection from other invaders, perhaps. But Nippon is not so much interested in what she can offer China as in what China can offer her. She wants from North China principally raw materials: iron, coal, salt, and above all cotton in order to free herself from dependence on the American supply of this essential commodity. Given the source of these raw materials, she will furnish her own factories. Hence, western enterprises can hope to have little place in China under Japanese control. If the purchasing power of China's 400,000,000 consumers is thus confined to her former island enemy, international trade will be considerably crippled. It has been stated that theoretically free enterprise will not be prevented or curtailed, but the minute China signs the agreement providing for the "Closed Door" policy, there is no possible way the great manufacturing nations of the West can hope to continue their Far-Eastern commerce on anywhere near the former scale. U. S. Intervention Futile In Grynszpan's Trial Whether Herschel Grynszpan—young Jewish confessed slayer of German Ernest Vom Rath—is freed or condemned, the advisability of any American intervention in the matter is to be questioned. Columnist Dorothy Thompson is asking that Americans provide the best defense counsel for Grynzsan. But American intervention is hopeless unless Grynzsan can be freed, and such a verdict is an impossibility according to French judicial experts. French courts of justice should allow Grynzspan a fair trial. This is all that American courts could do for him. The most democratic courts of law, however, give a confessional slayer such as he only a slight chance of a sentence other than death. Sometimes, as in the Loeb and Leopold case, expert defense counsel can win a life sentence. It is not the place of Americans to win an acquital for the slayer of an innocent person—however distraught Grimeszpan might have been—by furnishing expensive counsel. The British-American plan for emigration of the Jews from Germany and Austria would probably be jeopardized if the young slayer is freed. Even if his sentence could be commuted by evidence of American intervention, there is apt to be more difficulty in getting Jews out of Hitler's control.

Women Forsake Books, Men For Intramurals By Lillian Fisher, c.12 All work and no play would be a grind for any girl on the campus. Consequently intramural athletics was started to give the pretty "coeds" a chance to forget studies and men. Even the girls back in 1916 wanted to play games, so a women's University basketball team was organized. These were a women's team from Kansas City, but played mostly among themselves just for fun. A big question in 1917 was, "Do the women enter athletics merely for recreation or do they take it in preparation for work after they leave school?" A good answer to that question was a senior basketball team of that year. That team was never defeated, and seven of the nine women who were on the team were in athletic work long after their graduation. University begins Tournament This was a beginning of women's sports at the University. Women compete in women now compete in is much the War, when women's rights and privileges took an upward climb the university began tournaments for women between the various classes basketball, volleyball, and baseball. The securities joined in 'the games, and each year increased interest caused more sports to be added to the list. In 1925, a program of intramural athletics for all women of the University was culled by the women's physical education department. With few exceptions, this program has formed the basis of the intramural system of today. All of the organized houses, including the social sororities and Watkins, Miller, and Corbin halls, form one group. The independent girls also have teams. These teams are: IWW, IDN, TNT, and Westminster hall. The list of sports that women now compete in is much larger than the original list for intramural competition in 1925. It is volleyball, basketball, baseball, tennis, darts, deck tennis, ping pong, basketball, freethrow, swimming, horseshoes, golf, and handball. The teams are divided into brackets. The winning teams in each bracket play for the championship game. The losers play in basketball, volleyball, and basketball. outstanding players are chosen from all of the teams, and are placed on the freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior class teams. The class teams play, and the best team from these classes play on an honorary "varsity" squad. **Winning Teams Receive Trophies** Points are given for making the various teams and for competing in other sports. At the beginning of each year, a sports pow-wow is held, and medals and trophies are presented to the winning teams and to the highest individual scores for the preceding year. Women scoring over 125 points after their first semester at the University, and who have maintained an average of "C" in their scholastic work, are eligible to be elected into the Women's Athletic Association, a national honorary organization for university women athletes. notes'n discords We failed to attend the opening game of the basketball season because we didn't know where the Basketball Palestra was situated. But even if we had known we, too, knew that we were like one of those places our mother warned us to stay away from when we first came to college. The Topeka State Journal defines an institution of higher education as the place where the professors insist it isn't as important to win the game as it is to play fairly, but where extra holidays are given students only when the team wins. by John Randolph Tye The Topica papers are welcome to their spelling of "through" and "though" as "thru" and "the." But we view with alarm when the fad is brought to the Campus, and "tongit" is spelled "tonite." The latter spelling is not only hard on the eyes, but it looks like a hair-tone.
