PAGE TWO --- UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1928 Comment Security Bill or Stump Speeches? The Kansas political spotlight glares today on the prospect of a special session of the legislature. Primary purpose of a special session at this time appears to be to make revisions in the social welfare and sales tax acts. It is argued that the present laws under-finance the social welfare program, and that more of the sales tax revenue coming into state coffers should be earmarked for welfare purposes. If the legislators should meet, decide that such revisions are needed and are in order, make those revisions, and then go home as soon as the job is done, all perhaps would be well and good. But would they do that? Nothing equals an election-year special session as an opportunity for free-for-all political skullduggery. If such activity should become the keynote of a special session at this time—as it easily might—it would be regrettable in the extreme. Aware of these things, Kansans are watching the turn of affairs with great interest and not a little concern. Time Misses A Beat Time, in the current issue, describes the conflict between the Committee for Industrial Organization and the American Federation of Labor as "what is essentially a struggle between leaders for personal powers." The conflict cannot be so easily explained. True, the animosity of John L. Lewis and William Green has been intensified in the 20 months that the two organizations have been separated, but this is not the essence of the struggle. The break was made on the principle of horizontal or trade and that of vertical or industrial unionization, and to a large extent the distinction yet remains. The C.I.O. has in these 20 months organized as many men as the older A.F. of L has drawn to itself, without depleting noticeably the Federation's ranks. If such a drive can enlist that many laborers, there is indicated a place for the C.I.O. and industrial organization, just as there is a place for trade unionism. Trade unions could never reach all the skilled and unskilled labor in a huge plant like U. S. Steel or General Motors, just as industrial unions could never reach all the isolated motion picture operators and carpenters across America. There is a place for both in American labor—at least at present. But there are, of course, real differences of opinion between Lewis and Green in regard to that labor which might be subject to both industrial and craft unionization. The C.I.O. is, moreover, pulsating with vigorous new life, full of an enthusiasm with which it could not expect to permeate the A.F. of L. should the two join forces. The number of those in industrial unions is larger than before, and may become yet larger only if the young organization remains apart for a while longer. Time magazine does not have the answer It over-simplifies the struggle in labor. Publicity which organized labor is receiving as a result of the conflict and which might not continue should the C.I.O. and A.F.of L. combine, may be more valuable to both organizations than any losses they may sustain at the hands of each other. Thomas On Neutrality Norman Thomas, twice Socialist candidate for President, through the Christmas issue of the Nation magazine chips in his bit in behalf of a non-participation policy in the Sino-Japanese war for America. His stand is squarely against that rabble-rousing, jingoistic display of Upton Close over America's Town Hall of the Air Dec. 30, which is so wonderfully epitomized by Thomas in his article: "We grant that the motives behind collective security may be mixed. Nevertheless, we should seek alliances now because sooner or later we shall have to fight Japan and probably other fascist nations, too. This is a good time to get it over, before Japan has strengthened its position by its conquest of China. To defeat the fascist aggressors, from whatever motives, is the one essential to any hope of building a decent world in which constructive forces can operate." A program of collective security "means for the United States certain militarism and allbut-certain war. If collective security means war, why should we expect that war be essentially different from the first war to make the world safe for democracy, or likely to result in a better peace?" Thomas' support of the Nation's popular or unofficial boycott of Japanese goods is, however, untimely and dangerous. Such a boycott will do as much through resentment to force now-dived Japanese public opinion into the militarist's camp as to divert funds from the military machine to internal relief. Possibilities of the United States maintaining her own non-participation if she undertakes to penalize or quarantine Japan are remote. And if she cannot avoid war, experience seems to prove that from war no justice and no peace can come. Our present concern is not justice in the Pacific—even were that possible—but our own non-participation. What America must do immediately is plain. First, secure invocation of the Neutrality act. As the Socialist candidate says, "The stock argument that neutrality of the sort envisaged by our present imperfect law is of advantage to Japan as against China is simply untrue... To call this underedward war of Japan" "war"; to ban all loans; to prohibit all shipments of munitions to Japan as well as to China; and to make it harder for Japan to buy and transport other materials would diminish the advantage over China which Japan's superior merchant marine and banking facilities now give it." Second, secure adoption of the Ludlow war referendum proposal. While probably not particularly effective at heights of war hysteria, the Capper-Ludlow amendment will enforce more lengthy consideration of a senseless foreign war. These two things are not the end. A sufficiently rational public opinion is better than either. But, lacking this utopian ideal, the United States must effect these two protective measures. Uncle Sam Face-Saver DeLuxe Vice-generalissimio Hasegawa first offered to return the tigers if the United States went to the Japan and down the Wanapon after them. Rear Admiral Yarmell refused. he demanded that the Japanese return the Fetting to its berth at the Kinja Bay and that Hasegawa finally agreed to do.

However, by this time, the period is over, and the professor is threatening a shotgun quiz. This brings forth considerable yawns, because the class is sure he won't give one. He has yet to do it Most college students have trouble getting to an early morning class on time, but when an illusorious pro-terpene makes the same difficulty, you begin to wonder. One particular professor in the University evidently has that trouble. At first you would think this professor who, by the way received an A.B. degree not more than five years ago, would want to get to his class on time to impress the boss, but not knowing this, you almost have to conclude the only reason for his tardiness is the fact that he was a student not so long ago, and he still has a sleeping "hangover" from his undergraduate days. There is really no use in getting to this professor's 8:30 class until approximately 8:40. Even then, you will probably be five minutes early. Most of the students (?) in the class are aware of the fact, and struggle in as late as 8:50 clock. And to encourage this, the professor, early in the year, announced if a student walked into his class five minutes before the period ended, he would still be counted present. By 8:55, when the class period is half over, the professor and the class get down to serious business. Questions are asked the students. The professor's fraternity brothers, who constitute about one-fifth of the class, are the first victims. They are either asleep, studying for another class, or they don't know the answer. If you have been in any of the professor's previous classes, you are next on the program. However, by the time the professor gets through with his fraternity brothers, the former students are either asleep, or in their notes. If any of them answer, it is usually a brief stutter. If there is any time left, others in the class are targets. Once in *n* while, the professor will find one of the "commoners" who will give a Men's January Specials For Campus Wear 5 Styles No, don't take it that this professor's class is like this all of the time. He surprises his students sometimes by getting to class at 8:30, but this is rare. Once in a while he goes to a seminar or a meeting. There is one enclosure, however, he leaves a little not to that effect on the blackboard. This makes the class members sore. Here they could have slept another hour—in bed.
