'No,' to the A.S.U.
From virtually every democratic and near- Democratic country has gone spontaneous support in the form of clothing, food, ammunition, money, and men to the loyalist government in Spain. Those contributions have been well matched by donations to the rebels from fascist countries and fascist sympathizers.
One attempt by a wealthy American to send 20,000 pairs of boots to Franco's rebels was thwarted by a strike at the New England shoe factory at which the order had been placed and paid for in cash. The workers, upon leagging the destination of the boots, not only threatened to walk out but to tie up the shoe industry of the entire district. The order was cancelled.
American supporters of the legal government in Spain have not all been apathetic. In Philadelphia nearly 40 stations for the receipt of medical aid, clothing, and money for the Spanish government have been established by a youth committee of that city. A similar committee has been established in New York by the Epworth League of the Methodist church, Y.M.C.A., Y.M.H.A., W.Y.C.A., Girl's Friendly Society, Young Communist League, and Lincoln Settlement House.
Smith College girls have been knitting socks and sweaters for the local lighthouse in France.
In other countries similar aid has been forthcoming. Chinese students lend support "for the maintenance of peace and justice in the world." A Czechoslovakian girl's sports organization has sent a thousand sweaters to the loyal militia. Students in the University of Adelaide, Australia, are collecting funds to be sent to Madrid. Unemployed youths in Winnipeg, Canada, are planning to enroll 4,000 volunteers to defend Madrid.
Administrative officials declined the authority to the A.S.U.
Here at the University the other day representatives of the American Student Union petitioned the Administration for the authority to hold a loyalist sympathy mass meeting on the campus at which contributions were to be raised for the cause of the Madrid government. Several prominent members of the faculty had agreed to speak at the meeting.
Reason for the refusal is that the collection of funds of any sort for the aid of foreign engaged in war is out of keeping with the national government's allowed intention of instituting the strictest neutrality measures and that it would be unintelligent for the University to give a measure opposed to contemplated government action its approbation.
Although almost all the munitions for the Chinese army have been furnished by American armament manufacturers, although an airplane dealer is attempting to rush a cargo of planes to the rebels before a Congressional bill prevents, although Gordon Audaz, Spanish ambassador to Mexico is touring this country in search of planes for the loyalist cause, although 13 American planes already have been bought by Mexico and are on the way to Spain for the

use of the loyalists—there still is no excuse for the University to contribute jis support, moral or otherwise, to either the fascists or the loyalists, and thereby to contribute even slightly to the failure of possible effective neutrality legislation.
That is the University administration's logic. Although some of us may be inclined to disagree from a personal standpoint, judged from the position of the entire University, the administration's logic seems sound enough.
Conniving Committee
An editorial in Monday's Kansas City Star presents a sidelight on the accomplishments of a small dinner held in the British House of Commons recently. The purpose of the dinner, it seems, was to discuss the possibility of forming an American committee of the House of Commons which should study North American problems, and in general, further every useful type of co-operation between the two English speaking democracies. It was decided to form such a committee whose members will presumably act according to their own desires, and states the Star, with "regard for the type of American opinion which is disposed to see a sinister motive behind every British action."
Richard Waldo, president of the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, pointed out some time ago that powerful British interests are now seeking to influence American government and policies as well as American business, and that their interests might be greatly benefited by favorable appointments to certain cabinet positions in the United States.
The intense interest being shown by the British in regard to United States affairs may be a "Top o' the morning" gesture.
Rumor is that it some of Roosevelt's cabinet officers who feel the insecurity of their positions will attempt to retain their posts by the simple expedient of not entering resignations. Yeah, we thought once we wouldn't go see our adviser, but the flunk slip came anyway.
On the other hand it may,not.

What are the dictates of etiquette should one awaken some morning to find a white elephant in his backyard? Think of the resulting embarrassment were one not properly Emily Posted.
Might not you or I pinch ourselves to discover if we were dreaming and would we not determine what had been turned exorganized and rejuvenated, or more likely, were it Sunday morning, that one of our elephant pals of the previous evening had completely faded out of the picture.
1050 Elephants
In Varied Collection
At Fakes' Home
Vet Robert Frank's, c39, an inhabitant of Eik Falls, Kansas and a sophomore in the College, awakens every morning that he is at home to the realization that a white elephant would be his gift. He would be perturbed were it not there, for he fashioned the beast; which stands four feet high, weighs 1,000 pounds, and sports water from a hollow trunk; out of white cement. Some 1,050 other elephants, collected by Robert's mother over a year ago, inhabit the Franks domicile. Rangging from shoe button size to 30 pounds or more; made of stone, glass, coluloid, plaster of paris, California redwood, fluffy cloth stuffed with cotton, plain wood, bone rotten into pieces of the world; 34 states of the Union, England, Cuba, India, China, Panama, and Africa; the elephants were collected and infloated in two bookcases stretching from the ceiling down to the floor or utilized in a firebox. These mammals are fashioned as cream pipettes, ten pots, napkin holders, sets of书ends, salt and pepper shakers, cigarette lighters, shelves, ash trays, incense burners, doorsteps, toys, wooden pin, and rings. The most recent addition is carved ivory elephant from China.
This collection had its inception when Mrs. Franken noticed how nice three or four elephants looked on the mantle.
The brass elephant knocker on their front door attests to a stout Republican spirit. The elephant will spend the next four weeks, through the next four years.
