FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6, 1935 A NEUTRALITY THREAT Rumors of an agreement between the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and the Italian government persist in spite of denials by Walker Teagle and other company officials. According to reports, Standard Oil agrees to furnish petroleum products to Italy if and when the expected oil sanctions are adopted by the League of Nations. This marks the second time that that company has been mentioned in matters that affect the Italo-Ethiopian conflict. Such an agreement would if carried out almost nullify the effect of the action contemplated. Russia and Rumania, two of the largest exporters of oil to Italy have previously stated that they will co-operate in oil sanctions only if some form of participation by the United States is secured. Without their co-operation, the proposed sanctions would be a meaningless gesture. In the light of repeated declaration by this country to observe strict neutrality in the present conflict, an agreement of this type must be viewed with alarm. While it may seem rather far-fetched to say that this is an opening wedge that will involve the United States in another war, past experience proves the contrary. Efforts by corporations to make huge profits by trade with belligerent nations often result in conditions that involve national honor. Ostentation propaganda will easily do the rest. While the normal trade relations with Italy or Ethiopia should not be severed, any action that is contrary to the spirit of our neutrality stand is to be deplored. BEST SELLER There is danger that Japan's plan to name the new Chinese puppet state Hanpeh Liansheng Tauchii Chenggehuan may inflame Chinese train callers.—Topeka Daily Capital. "My Battle," Hitler's war-breathing autobiography, is Germany's best seller, having sold well over 1,000,000 copies. Available in English, however, is nothing but a bowlered version with all the more violent passages purged, and Hitler maintains a standing threat to sue anyone who makes available in a foreign language the full text. It is good for Germans to read his hymnal of hate, bad for Germans to have foreigners read it. Campus Opinion Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the authors and should not be considered to be the author. Contributions are largely are subject to cutting by the editor. Contributions Editor Daily Kansan: To the somewhat satirical, but justly bitter and most timely criticism of R.R. and M.M. may I add the present viewpoint of a birocoteist盐 conservative concerning the truth of the war in Iraq in the name of security by the Athletic Department. I know that for myself and for many others with whom I chance to talk a confession as to our previous apathy is in order. This I think, was due, on our part, to a feeling that the activity ticket, as presented by its sponsors and in view of the admittedly worth while things it carries, was worth the price and existed for the greatest good of the greatest number. In this not typical of the majority viewpoint concerning the ticket? May I now say that food for further thought on the matter came to me in the form of an insult—not now—but made more emphatic than heteroforte at the recent K-U.M.U. game. I refer to the repeated and most intrigue moves from last week (10-7) and the south of the 20-yard line in West Stadium, were forced to make, from seats they already occupied, to provide room for those most welcome guests of K-U the purchasers of the $2.20 ticket. I define it as insult because it flumsits to a disregard of the need for the granting of any rights, privileges, or courtesies to the same student body which is forced to support that department, and does so in good faith, by purchasing the activity book. I could not improve on the sharp denunciation of previous tacities of the athletic department and the aposers of the concert course recently made in this column. Nor can I comment at length on the unfairness to all students in the matter of souting at various events; to working students who buy tickets that they can neither use nor transfer; and to those financially pressed who must buy what they neither want nor can afford. The concert plan can be condemned from one or both of two standpoints. In the first place many feel that the principle of compulsion is wrong, and many arguments have already been presented to justify that contention. Secondly, many others feel that many improvements could be made in the present set up. The abuses referred to above can and must be eliminated or prophasized without further delay. We have decided we will fail to confront the real issues as an increasing number of irritate student voices indignation. Incidentally, if we make the questionable assumption that the idea of a compulsory fee to support and enforce interest in extracurricular activities is just, why are not the "Kusan" and the "Jayhawk" included at a fair cost. They represent student enterprise, and above all must be the only purchase to yield even a student something put For those who desire an improvement in the plan as well as for those who oppose its very principle the first step is to abolish the present system. If the voicing of protests accomplishes no more than it has to date we should accept the alternative of promoting and supporting organized opposition. D.C. Editor Daily Kansan: bottle and *biting* by outside newspapers can be expected, but *biting* by a college newspaper, especially at KU, is unforgivable. The cry of "red red" has the old familiar riff in the new style. It has been shown in the past that "red-baiting" campaigns have resulted in the curbing of all thought and, in the last analysis, in repeated attacks on the freedom of the press. Outside newspapers in the state will probably quote Mr. Haddley's clever little article and the merry campaign of "red, red, who looks red" will gather ingrust. Editor Daily Kansan: In Hugh Hadley's signed feature article of Thursday morning, it seems to me that he has inadvertently defeated his own point of view. For if "the best thing the public can do is to refute a stumble," we should not be distracted by it obvious then, that the public, talking for itself, will not get alarmed by such wishy-wishy propaganda as V. F. Carlton presented. If we, as University students, really are thinking for ourselves, why should we worry what someone of the "infidiot" P. R. I'm sure Mr. Hadley believes in upholding the principles of freedom for which this country has so long stood. Yet, he would suggest, not only to the students, but to the alumni who, possibly brought up in a different sort of time with its consequence of indifference will not understand the movement for information not obtainable in lectures from the Hill professors, that we use for speakers in student forums men who will give us the same sort of thing we get in classes. In not all cases, class-room-out is like anything of leftright nature out of the class-room" Are we not really thinking; growing adults who are able to choose for ourselves which path we will take? It is entirely possible that Mr. Hadley's inability to foresee the nature of his attack will result in a lid-closing on him and the death of himself. My last point: The present Men's Student Council and its president were elected on the basis that we should have forums on "Socialism, Communism, Eugenics, War" and that more than half of them want to hear about these things? L. Wray Choate. Editor Daily Kansan: I notice that a Mr. Hugh Hadley, *c3*, attacks the Student Forum as being "isfirst and giving unfair representation" (whatever that last means). He uses all the red-hatting tactics, distortion, exaggeration, and out-and-out lying, checked with an air of scientific impartiality. The last sentences in *The New York Times* give a lecture on Communism in the disguise of "Modern Marriage and Modern Morals." It is needless to remark on the absurdity of this statement. For those who didn't attend the Forum, Wednesday's Kansan gives a very fair account of what Mr. Calventon actually said. It will be remembered that the "refreshingly frank" statements of what Mr. Calventon comes from the floor and not in the main body of the lecture. I think the Forum Committee should be commended upon the selection of two exceedingly interesting speakers, Mr. Bliven and Mr. Calverton, to offset such speakers as Mr. Carrion and Ms. Brewster, who lend an opportunity to hear both sides of the question. Editor's Note: Mr. Haddley was the writer of the news article concerning Mr. Calverton's speech in Wednesday's session.

Ranked next to the man that shirks his share of pushing on the evolving door, and the audible moving picture explainer in the theaters, is the person behind the camera who jokes across the study tables in the library during the hour before a quiz. Even if some of the candidates for the many and divers teams on the Hill don't make a letter, they do make large appetites, or have you noticed. Even the most up-to-date women are bath to take on new wrinkles. And we must mention with no little pride that the Kansas' United Press News Service has covered in this section of the country (including the Kansas City Star) on the story of the Stanford Oil Oil Company's treatment of our 'we sat them about 24 hours.

Chancellor Strong upheld the University right noble in making a statement against an article that appeared in a leading magazine saying that college athletes are injurious to health and no serve moral or social purpose. A letter in Campus Opinion asks why good athletes of the Kansas high schools do not like to come to the university. The question reason might be that the University was lacking in culture, What student, the irate, letter writer asks, would want to come to a school where they were students, or would old Mizouu? (When you talk to those all-American brothers of yours at Christmas mention that Hayes is a nice kid, and that she will go to school, a swell bunch of fellows and that we skip hell in all yells.) The University health service sug-gests that the numerous cases of gripe on the Bill might be caused by germs from animals, which another article lists forty or fifty cases of gripe—among them many men students.
