THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1934 GOLIATH—REINFORCED Some indication of the magnitude of the task that has been undertaken by the world's peacemakers may be found in a recent magazine article disclosing the extensive power which has been acquired by the munitions makers of Europe. The influence of these men extends to the highest seats of government and business. They finance the political campaigns of men like Hitler, who, they think, are likely to stir up war; their newspapers in other countries then agitate for armaments to safeguard their countries' security; they hold directorships in great banks which make loans to governments in order that they may buy arms; they occupy seats in the chamber of deputies, the reichstag, and parliaments, and vote to increase armaments. Individual companies are not restrained by national borders. They sell to any government, friend or enemy, in peace and war. Their technique is to sell to one country and then use that sale as a talking point to sell twice as much to a neighboring state. They maintain connections throughout the world, but they strive constantly against internationalism among the citizenry in order to maintain friction. But, with all their power, these men do not cause war. Their aggrivating influence may be strong enough to turn friction into active warfare, but it is not an underlying cause. Eradication of their pernicious influence might be accomplished by government control of all munitions factories. That task, if possible at all, would require many years to accomplish, and after it was completed the causes of war would still remain. War is as old, and its causes are as deep as man's instinct of self-preservation. The power of the armament makers is a Goliath backed by greater giants who will carry on the struggle after he has been killed. ACTION ON TARIFFS President Roosevelt has asked Congress for the power to bargain with other countries, with the tariff system as the medium of exchange. If Congress acts wisely and has the interest of economic welfare at heart, it will not fail to heed this plea for action. Attempts at reducing agricultural production have not been sufficiently successful, and three fifths of those agricultural products depend upon the world market to set the prices. The CWA and PWA funds have not materially increased the consumption of agricultural products above the rising retail prices. And the great group of rural people is without income to buy goods and start in motion the wheels of industry. The payrolls of industry won't be increased to replace the government payrolls. The President is asking for broad powers that may prove dangerous in the hands of his successors, but experience has shown that Congress itself cannot handle the tariff sensibly. There are too many cross currents and pulls. Congress must surely have confidence in Roosevelt by now, and it should grant him temporary power to conduct tariff negotiations himself. Extreme nationalism caused by tariffs is not economically healthful for long periods. Nor is tariff bargaining a permanent cure for high tariffs. It is a temporary measure that must be adopted in order to insure a steady march toward recovery. Without it there is peril of a relapse into deeper, more dangerous economic maladjustments through uncontrollable inflation. KNOW HIM? He may be called the student with an insatiable desire for recognition, he may be called a nut, and again he may be called just a guy to be pitied. He is sure to be called something, for he is going to be sure that you see him. If you were blind, deaf and suffering from some malady that deprived you of all sense of communication and touch, he would find a way of letting you know that his mother's favorite son was in your presence and that you were basking in the warmth of his personality. This type of a student always thinks that he has the best stock of bright sayings unpublished in College Humor. He may even have them, but he finds such in-opportune times to show his wit! CONTESTS Tomorrow night members o. the freshman and sophomore classes will present their annual oratorical contest at the University. Six men will compete for the prizes and honors which judges will give out to the winning orators. Such contests were once the most popular form of activity on the Hill. Before football and basketball had become firmly entrenched on the roll of extra-curricular activities, and other events had become so popular, oratorical contests were spirited affairs. Differences of opinion were vigorous and there were heated arguments among the orators, followed by long and interested introspection by the audience. Oratorical contests were one of the favorite forms of amusement, interest, and entertainment. Oratiorical contests deserve more support than they receive. They are a type of thought-provoking entertainment worthy of a more representative支持. TAKE TIME FOR ART Those students who are in the habit of weekending in the city occasionally might spend an enjoyable two hours between shows visiting the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art and Atkins Museum, where the March Loan Exhibition opened Monday with American Eighteenth Century Art. It will consist in outstanding examples of painting, silver, glassware and china. The central loan gallery will be devoted to paintings, the most important of which will be the so-called Munn Washington by Gilbert Stuart. It is a bust portrait of the first president. Benjamin West, called the father of American painting, will be represented by a large canvas, a portrait of Mr. and Mrs. John Custance, painted in London in 1778. Other early American artists represent canvases of whom will be in the exhibition include Smibert, Peale, Copley, Blackburn, Badger, Pelham, and Earle. Of particular interest is a large group of American silver. One of the earliest crafts in the colonies was silversmithing. Records reveal that as early as 1620 Thomas Howard came to Jamestown, Virginia, to manufacture silver objects, and this was an active trade in Boston by 1650. Much of the beautiful silver of the period has disappeared, for in times of stress OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Notices due at Cancellor's Office at 11 a. m. on regular afternoon publication days and 11.38 a. m. on Sunday for Sunday issues.

The outstanding man in this craft was Paul Revere. QUILL CLUB: C! display is also an excellent exhibit of glass and china ware. Although manufacture of glass was begun in 1609 in Virginia, it did not flourish until the eighteenth century, owing to poor material for a newly-settled wilderness. It is to this period that the beautiful examples of hand blown glass have been assigned, the most important name here being that of a German, Stiegel. The organized machine still predominates in Kansas City politics, as was shown in the primary election yesterday. The New Youth Movement, which is being recognized as a dynamic element in American politics, came up against practical politics in earnest. The results of the election show the advantages of organized parties which dominate the wards and the election machinery and control the police and influence the judges. The one big talking point for the opposition was the appeal to persons young in mind and years to volunteer for assisting in the election of a non-machine group. It is difficult to change persons who was voted one way for a period of years and who even fear a change in politics because their jobs rest somewhat on a political basis. The exhibition will be well worth the expenditure of the time and effort involved in making it a visit, and should attract large crowds of art lovers throughout the month. MACHINE STILL ROLLS Even if the youth movement should fail in the real election three weeks hence, it has at least made a start toward better organization and stands a chance of driving the machine toward giving better government to the citizens in order to stay in power.

PLAIN TALES from the HILL One of the year's most embarrassing situations was created Tuesday night when a sorority failed to notify one of its town pledges that the Pan-Hellenic Exchange Dinner has been postponed until March 20. The young lady appeared at the assigned house just in time to be ushered in to dinner before anyone knew why she had come. Beside the surprise element in the affair, it would have had the impromptu masses with chagrin and the important visitor present at a regular meal instead of the "dinner-party" variety. A few co-eds, impelled by curiosity or a fierce loyalty to the boy friend, ventured into the masculine gathering Tuesday night to see the wrestling matches. One young woman who took it all very seriously, stood it as long as she could, then amused the nearby males by bursting out loudly with, "Oh dear! Stop him, referee, he's hurting that boy!"
