PAGE TWO P UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 16. 1937 Comment 一 Kansas Art In the Kansas Capitol The editors of the state press will soon embark upon a campaign to raise funds for a series of murals to be painted on the walls of the state capitol in Topeka. The murals will be the work of a native Kansas who has won fame in the world of art and who is now returning to his home state to paint its history. John Curry belongs to the regional school of American art, a school that is interpreting the social history and culture of the Medwest—both past and present—in a realistic manner. It is only right that Curry should be the painter selected to tell the story of Kansas as he has always been deeply interested in his native state, although Kansas has not always been kind to him. One has only to read Thomas Craven's article in the last issue of the Kansas Magazine to realize how little interest Kansas has manifested in Curry's work. Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Bent likenwise encountered the same indifference, but fortunately the situation is now being changed. Iowa has called Grant Wood to Ames to take charge of painting at Iowa State College, and Missouri is belatedly giving Thomas Benton the credit he deserves. Now Kansas is awakening to the fact that in Curry it has an artist of the first magnitude. The plan to have Curry depict scenes from the history of the state was fostered by Jack Harris of Hutchinson and Paul Jones of Lyons, two editors who have always been interested in Kansas history. Not only did they succeed in selling the idea to the other editors of the state and to Governor Huxman, but they persuaded the editors to undertake the task of raising the funds for the murals. To them goes much of the credit for Kansas' tardy recognition of John Curry. How Long Authoritarianism? Brief paragraphs in the day's news indicate the internal weakness of European dictatorships. Individually these are two-inch stories on page seven of the newspaper, but collectively they prophesy the ultimate downfall of the totalitarian state. Agencie Havas, French prototype of the American press syndicates, reports the spread of pellagra in Italy on a scale unknown in the twentieth century. The disease, resembling leprosy in its extreme form, is prevalent where peoples have substituted corn meal for wheat flour as a staple. Agencie Havas credits Mussolini's short-sighted demand for Italian economic self-sufficiency with the spread of this disease among the poorer population. Mussolini's financial policy has been revised recently to provide more revenue for armaments and public works. Last week, Italy offered freedom from inheritance taxes and from expropriation by the state to investors abroad. Simultaneously, a 10 percent tax on corporate profits was added to the already extortionate levies on Italian industry. This last measure, discriminating as it does against the very agents who hoisted him to power, reveals the limits to which II Duce has been pushed in his internal economy. Last week the German government announced that economy made necessary for all commercial purposes an alloy of gold which, if used for dental crowns, might prove poisonous. Seizing gold for use in international trade to balance a staggering economy, Hitler has made it impossible to have a tooth crown. Each week brings indication of the increasing burden and sacrifice which peoples of the dictatorships endure and of the increasing economic weaknesses within. Are these signposts on a road which leads to the dead end of post-war Fascism? Let the Steam Pop Off In England where the number of workers involved in labor disputes has decreased 85 percent in the past 11 years, manufacturers and industrialists think that American capital is foolish to resist the organization of labor and efforts toward collective bargaining. In England more than one-half of the workers are organized and collective bargaining is the accepted order. Labor leaders find it difficult to excite any interest in labor demonstrations, and, although both wages and standard of living are lower there, there is very little antagonism between employer and employee. In the United States only about a fourth of the laborers are organized, collective bargaining is being resisted on every front, and feeling is strong between labor and capital. Like any reform movement, the labor movement is made violent and critical by resistance. Demands are made unreasonable by the realization that they must be made so secure any concession at all. Like any movement, the labor movement would soon be submerged in a forgetful complacency if certain objectives were gained and certain rights recognized. As one English industrialist put it, "A boiler explodes only when the safety valve is tied down" Official University Bulletin Notices due at Chancellor's Office at 3 p.m., preceding regular publication days on a 11:00 a.m. weekday.

Weaver's ADVERTISEMENTS Make Neighbors of a Nation The Yankee clipper-ships are sailing phantom seas. The western two-gun man has retired to the movies, and the southern plantation has been subdivided. The old sectional distinctions have passed into tradition. Where there was North, South and West, there is now one people. Those old barriers of distance and prejudice have been worn down by many uniting forces: Railroads, radio, automobiles, telephones, newspapers, magazines, Advertising. These are the things that have united America into a nation of neighbors. You have the same automobile as the chap a half-dozen states away. You both eat the same advertised foods, smoke the same tobaccos, enjoy concerts from the air with the same radio sets. You have a lot of things in common. Advertisements give you and your neighbors in all the forty-eight states the same chance to know and obtain new things as soon as they are ready. Through advertisements, you learn of a thousand devices that save you labor, increase your comfort and help you enjoy life generally. They give you a broad panoramic view of this modern age we live in. Read the advertisements---your neighbors are reading them too.
