PAGE.TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1937 Comment Literary Maltreatment A special exhibition on "How Not to Use the Library" is being shown at the University of California this week. This display consists of "candid camera" pictures demonstrating how books are mutilated, and examples of damaged books and periodicals. Such an exhibit at the University of Kansas might prove profitable to the students as well as to the library. The most common forms of mutilation are "doodlings" and underscoring. Most students who use library books know how annoying it is to attempt to read a book that has been underscored by some "helpful" previous user. Generally these marked lines do not coincide with what the present reader considers important. Many of the books have been underscored so frequently that the cumulative markings have nullified one another and ruined the printed page. Other forms of destruction include cutting, tearing, marginal notations, comments and criticisms, and inter-linear translations in foreign language books. Many books must be replaced in Watson library every month, especially in the reserve room, because of this type of thoughtlessness on the part of some students. It will be well for those heedless to few consider the needs of others and to realize that they are misusing property that is indispensable to the education of all. Nazi Gangster Tactics Not satisfied with limiting their gangster tactics to their own citizens and to their own soil, the Nazis have recently been branching out into other countries. Prominent Britons who have been denouncing der Adolf from public platforms are photographed by Nazi agents in Great Britain and their pictures and speeches are being published in Germany in the form of magazines which are then distributed to the speakers' homes together with letters threatening their lives. Just what Hitler expects to gain by such tactics in a democracy where freedom of the press exists to publicize such blackmail is difficult to understand. It is said that the basis of Hitler's foreign policy is rapprochement with Great Britain. If so, he is certainly defeating his own purpose with such actions, for by them he is alienating what little affection the British people ever had for him. He has only proved once more what has been already said of him many times. Hitler can't take criticism. He has suppressed every avenue of criticism within the borders of Germany, and now he is attempting the same thing in other countries. To suppress such criticism he is willing to antagonize countries that would otherwise have some little feeling of good will toward Germany. He may not have liked Mayor Fiorella La Guardia's description of him as "that brown-shirted fanatic who is threatening the peace of the world," but neither did President Roosevelt like being called a Communist during the last elections. President Roosevelt did not deign to answer such remarks because it was quite evident to everyone that they were not true. Does the hysterical yapping of Hitler's kept press in Germany mean that there is truth in La Guardia's description? Sit Down Strike The favorite topic of the labor union organizer and sympathizer today is the sit-down strike. Why no one ever thought before of this effective means of getting employers to settle according to the strikers' terms is hard to understand. For nothing could be simpler. You sit down at the place of your employment and refuse to leave. The owner of the business cannot send in any other person to take your place because you are inconveniently in the way of their work. And then it can be found that there is no trouble caused in most of the strike cases because they are not on the outside where the police can actively molest them. Also when they remain seated there is a tension existing between themselves and the owners of the plant because the strikers are on the scene and there is no production of any kind going on. When the strikers are on the outside, they are constantly worrying about what is going on on the inside. When they are safely in their homes, they feel that they have accomplished nothing. The sit down strike allows them to remain The Kansan Platform 1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program. 2. Betterment of student working conditions. 3. Attachment of a co-operative bookstore. 4.

Restoration of faculty and employee salaries. organized in their efforts for conciliation and, after all, the publicity they get is enough to worry their employer. As far as the strike is concerned, the method can prove very effective. Campus Opinion No doubt pressed for space, your reporter of the Forum Thursday night, quoted you without adding the qualifications which I was careful to make to the statement, thus misrepresenting my position. I said I "did not forget to point out how much better Socialists would 'defend their country when war does Editor Daily Kansan; Misquoted My two qualifications were: (1) if the Socialist believes in national defence by means of armed force; and (2) if Socialism were already achieved in this country. The first qualification indicates that the statement was used as a bait for contemporary "militaries", who are also used to intimidate and indicate that modern Socialists, communists, et al. would be more willing to fight than to refuse to fight in imperialistic wars.

Even in sition of Hitler's and Mussolini's efforts, it seems possible. Another fellow that seems to think that der Fuehrer is a bad influence on world peace is Harlan Jennings, C73, who replied, "Five years long time and at the rate Hitler is going, we may be in a war by then." When Martin Maloney, c37, that super- orator who has was an one of his pet subjects, was confronted with this question, he had but one Marie Stevens, c. 37, went to some length and wrote out this, "Acording to propaganda—excellent; according to youth- no!"
