Agree That War Can Be Prevented
Lee, Stockton, J.ones e
And Wheeler See Cure
If Economic Roots Are
Recognized
A psychologist, an economist, a sociologist and a theologian agreed last night that war is the result of an economic cause, and can be and must be outlawed to preserve civilization They spoke at the Memorial Union ballroom at a peace forum. Henry Werner, adviser of men, presided.
Dr. R. H. Wheeler, professor of psychology, discussed the relation of climatic cycles to wars. He emphasized the fact that wars have declined in their destructiveness per capita and that human nature is changing. The basis for his belief that war is not inevitable and can be prevented.
Dr. A. M. Lee, associate professor of sociology and journalism, showed the relation of propaganda to war. He stated that economic leaders use propaganda to further their cause; to justify war. It is the way that a nation convinces itself that war is no wrong.
"The culmination of many diverse causes brings about war," Dean F. T. Stockton of the School of Business began. These causes, according to Dean Stockton, all center around the fact that some nations have an abundance of economic goods and others do not. He made the observation that all wars have been between nations that have an over-supply of goods and those that have a shortage. He concluded that the only remedies are to break down trade barriers and to control population.
The Rev. H. Lee Jones of the Uni-
itarian Church based on the cause of war
on imperialism. "The grouping of
wealth and colonies leads to political
and economic strain," he stated. His
remedy was elimination of the profit
system by dispensing with private
labor. He also stressed the necessity of
removing class domination of education
and newspapers.

Bill Townsville performed a gentlemanly act for a young lady who in return was going to send him flowers. Bill suggested a bouquet of roses since he hadn't ordered any for the RELues嫁安, and believed in this way the one bouquet would be double appreciated. Saturday noon a large box of what were supposed to be roses opened, and the second open it was found to contain one pansy and a note which read, "Sorry out of roses."
It is reported that Laurence McVey was giving a lesson in salesmanship at the Blue Mill the other night—He was demonstrating by attempting to sell the Mill's radio, telling all about its points of merit and not forgetting to count the number of tubes and wires.
There's a true story about a fellow who met a girl during the grueling days of his first registration and enrollment, got rather well acquainted considering the circumstances, and for four long years he has seen that girl at enrollment time and never again until the next semester arrives. He's beginning to think she just comes down for enrollment to sort of commemorate their first meeting and then goes back home.
Charley Pitts, post entrant and University athlete, did a creditable job in the Relays decathlon by finishing fourth. It is understood that Ed Elbel chided Pitts for his seeming lack of interest in athletics of late, so Charley started out to prove that he could finish ahead of the majority of competitors, and did. All of this took place Friday morning just three hours before the competition started. The closest Charley came to actual training was piloting a tractor over mountains from track female coaches adjacent territory. We are remindes that a well-known tobacco company is overlooking this athlete who could undoubtedly give a "true" testimonial.

George the Cop Has Quit Barking—Will He Bite?
George, the Campus cop, is a man of action . . . a man of determination that believes the genuity of his倭ance. Some time ago he issued a general complaint and a gentle hint to those student drivers who persisted in speeding on the campus, and engaged in what he characteristically called "open season on pedestrians." This pursuit, George explained, seems to be engaged in by the atavistic element on the Hill. These drivers are wont to speed up whenever they see a stray pedestrian within hitting distance . . . and George said this had to stop.
But George's warning, as is characteristic of warnings, went unheeded, and the speeders persisted in their unwaful actions. So George appealed to his chief downstairs at the Lawrence police headquarters and now has two business-like assistants who are motorcycle uniforms and no motorcycles.
These efficient assistants make the circuit of the Campus three or four times a day, but not at any set time. George went ahead to warn drivers that they should conduct themselves as if they were expecting the cops any moment. He also warned the coed element that both men, though handsome, were married, had families and were not in the least susceptible to flattery. He also warned that neither of them was the least bit in ave of the police judge or the alderman from the fourth ward, and that it made no particular difference whom your uncle was acquainted with.

Kansas Gets Tax Tokens Soon
Topeka, April 17—(UP)—W. G. Fink, chairman of the state tax commission, announced today that contracts will be let late this week for metal to be used in the manufacture of Kansas sales tax tokens. Lester Luther, member of the tax commission, explained that Kansas dollars annually because the sales tax law specifies the tokens must be manufactured at the Hutchinson state refinery.
simply because the legislature stuck that provision in the law." Luther said, "Kansas taxpayers will bear the burden of an annual loss running into thousands of dollars. There are several factories, one in Cincinnati in particular, which offered to manufacture and deliver our sales tax tokens cheaper than we can buy the metal and have them turned out at Hutchinson." Luther explained this was because special machinery will have to be made costing approximately $25,000.
