(On January 31 Bob Nesbit, local student, read a paper in the History Club's Open 'Forum on Democracy. After waiting our turn for two weeks we finally got our hands on the manu- scrips, and from it extracted a few caustic comments and scholarly sug­ gestions, which we print below —Edi­ tor) The average concept of democracy carrie&fey the-American public school graduate is probably as hazy as mine. Mine is. a mental picture of a teeter- totter with the Presidency on one end and Congress on the other with the Supreme Court in the center judicious­ ly maintaining an equal balance which I got from a correlated curriculum text on community civiCs. « « * ... The teaching of patriotism and democratic ideals is required 'by law ih- our schools and. is taught in the: same spirit as the multiplication ta­ bles It's something rather distaste­ ful . but it will probably do a lot. of: good some day. • * * * (After asking that education be tried! in bring about democracy.) I hold: no brief for any of the prevalent schools' in educational theory. The es- sentialist has already failed and as for the progressivist, I fail to see where writing "development of social-civic ideals" in a lesson plan is going to , deliver the goods. • • * Democracy defeats: its own purpose by the ^lacksidaisical notion that every individual' should be allowed freedom of : conscience in determining his phi­ losophy and the smug idea that after looking them all over he can't help concluding that democracy is the best answer. The shape it's in now it can't ' stand for much examination, and badly needs some active salesmanship. * * *. Why can't we have college degrees in civic administration and make it at­ tractive enough so that intelligent young-people will make a professional - - career ©fit?" . r * *, * (After suggested reorganization of. city and county governments.) I'm noti going to reorganize the state be­ cause the word "reorganize" implies there: is already an organization, whichr is hard to admit. As for our national 'government, I seem to recall someone: more competent than I sug­ gesting: that a: short time ago, and look at. the-reception he got. Why, do we: put: such a high: price \ on mere literacy and none on the qualities of judgment and evaluation?, * * * Why can't we catch young people along about high school age and teach them to read the daily papers and pe­ riodicals intelligently? That would make a cjandy required course and lots of: kids would find out that the daily paper doesn't start at the sport page and end with "Dick Tracy." The American illiteracy rate is highly under-rated *- • * « * When the time comes that we can ask ourselves WHO makes democracy work instead of HOW and answer it individually, we will be nearer the so­ lution. COLONIAL BALL TO BEHELDSATURDAY Programs Go On Sale Today Saturday, Fefbruary 25, the Asso­ ciated Students present the annual Colonial Ball, the second, formal dance: of the school year. The dance is under the general : di­ rection of Jim Lounsberry, and , prom­ ises to be one of the best social func­ tions of the year. The music, which begins' promptly at 9 o'clock, will be furnished by, Arden Stevens' Commodores, one of- the better orchestras on the Universi­ ty of Washington campus. Programs There are to be 12 dances and two extras. The programs, which are to be featured by the picture of the re­ cently voted most beautiful girl on the campus, go on sale today. A nominal charge of 25 cents for. two programs is asked. Faculty members and outsiders will be charged $1 a couple. The receiving line will consist of 'Dr. and Mrs. McConnell and the A. S-. B. officers, Ken Meeks, president, and Lois HubObell John VandenBrink, vice-president, and Emma Jean Schrengorhst Omar Parker, sergeant- at-arms, and Dorothea Heath, the guest of honor, whose picture adorns the programs. U. W. RAISES GRADE REQUIREMENTS BAND TO PRESENT PROGRAM TUES. The Central Washington College Band under the direction of Mr. Cloice E. Myers will be a colorful and snappy spectacle at the W. W. C. E. vs. C. W. C. E. 'basketball game Thursday eve­ ning. The band is appearing in the new uniforms just received this month. They really are nifty looking made of wool whipcord. The coats are red, the trousers black wjth red stripes on the outside of the trouser legs. A-Sam -Brown style ibeltisrworn by each member of the unit. The regular army officer's style caps are red and black. The uniform is very flashy and will add a great deal to the appearance of the unit. The first "coming out" of this good looking uniformed band will be at 7 p. m. Thursday from the Administra­ tion Building when the band will march downtown (weather permit­ ting) to meet the Bellingham Band at the Antlers Hotel. The two bands will be massed and parade back to the gym for the much anticipated Belling­ ham game. Between halves the two bands totalling 65 members will pro­ vide a- rousing group of selections. The Central Washington College Band has invited the Bellingham Band to play several numbers besides. One of the most interesting parts of the pro­ gram will be a salute to the flag by the massed band in the gym before the game. Those that have heard the band before know what they can do in playing-. Now with the uniforms they should play just that much bet­ ter. A sharp increase in scholarship was- announced last week by the. College of Education of the University of Washington to eliminate "an over* supply of teachers who can't get jobs because of poor scholarship." The college raised the grade aver­ age necessary for entrance into junior^ senior and graduate work in education, from straight C to a 2.5 average, or halfway between C and ,B. Dean Willis. Uhl predicted this would. eliminate: between 10 and 15 percent: of their prospective: teachers. The new schedule begins with the summer quarter and takes full effect a year:from this spring , Dean Uhl said the move: was aimed at producing better teachers: at the University.—Ex. Friday night, February 24, Miss Catherine Bullard will discuss two contemporary poetesses, Edna St. Vincent Millay and. Elinor Wylie at 8 o'clock in room C-130. She is being sponsored by Kappa Delta Pi. Students and public ^are cordially invited. BAND RECEIVES UNffORMS The Central Washington College Band under the direction of Cloice E. Myers will present an hour's program in the College Auditorium Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. The band is a new addition to the school this year.

This committee, with Mr Elder of the Social Welfare Department at its ART CLASS DISPLAYS POSTERS FOR BALL Thp posters on display in the Ad­ ministration Building were made for. the Colonial Ball committee by the Commercial Art class. Variety of Style Many mediums and styles have been used to make these posters. Some are made in releif with plaster of paris, the letters actually carved in the post­ er Several students used cork to foake: figures and designs to show volume and to give depth. Clever de­ signs: have been obtained by the use of: aluminum. The figures and letter­ ing in one exception poster are made from: this material. A yellow back­ ground was used for part of the let­ tering to-get. interesting space divi­ sion: and: contrast of colors. Judging These posters are to be judged by . the students, themselves. A ballot box. will be found in the hall by the display. Students are i*equested to indicate first, second, and third choices. Consideration should be given to sevei*al points when judging a poster. Is it a good design does it convey the message? Is it good in color? Is it too elaborate to be easily noticed? Does it appeal to you and satisfy your idea, of: what a Colonial Ball! poster should be ?. FORUM TO BE ON Three Speakers To Discuss Problem The History Club's final Open iForum of the quarter is to be pre­ sented March 7, at which time the American foreign policy is to be dis­ cussed.. ^battery of three speakers will consist of E. K. Brown, local at­ torney Virgil 'Cunningham of the Record", and T. M. Torgerson, manager of the J. C. Penney store in Ellens- burg. The American foreign policy was chosen a& the subject of the forum to allow the speakers to comment on the recent deal to sell war planes to France and (England which is of pres­ ent interest and significance. "Are the contracts awarded to the United States in the hope of forming Alliances in the future?" is- an im­ portant question the History Club hopes to hear answered. Students and public all are invited to attend and take part in the discussion. head, asked Miss Helen Michael- sen, home economics head, for suggestions. The family rela­ tions class offered to help with the survey which will be used in getting state and federal funds for a housing project in Ellens- burg. Each student was assigned six houses a week to be interviewed. These findings were tabulated on work. sheets and blocked in on spot maps. The statistics have been broken down into many groupings and present a vivid and somewhat start­ ling picture of the housing situation in this city. 314 Families Interviewed There were 314 families interviewed representing 1228 members. We all know that for many years the size of the average family has been reducing. In Ellensburg the size of the families in the low income group surveyed is less than that of the average Ameri­ can family, the family here being. 3.9 members as compared with 4.1 in the United IStates as a whole. Twenty- three and two-tenths per cent of the families had no children and the aver­ age number of children per family was 1.77. " What kind of houses do these fam­ ilies live in ? The houses were chosen from the tax rolls showing an evalua­ tion of less than $400. The ages of the houses varied between less than one year and more than 25. As a matter of fact 47 per cent of the houses came within the latter group­ ing. • Sub-Standard Dwellings / Thirteen of the families lived in homes of only one room, and of this group at least one family had six members. In two room houses there were 20 families having from three to six members. AU .in all there were 81 families or 27 per cent of the group living in substandard dwellings (those having more than one person per room). The so-called luxuries were some­ what. scarce in the homes surveyed. "Seidel has the great merit of never being dull he is a dynamic player and' the voltage is high. From the*first he appealed strongly to the audience :hL every piece was applauded sincerely and he had to play extra numbers after each group."—Rochester Demo­ crat-Chronicle.. Thirty-nine per cent- of the homes were in ipoor condition, 33 per cent in fair condition, and 27 per cent in good condition. Twenty-seven per cent of the houses had outside toilets 31 per cent had no baths 16 per cent of the houses had no running Water in them and 2 per cent had no cold water even on the premises. Seventy-three per cent of the heating was done by a single cook stove and four five-tenths per cent of the families used oil lamps for, light. High Rentals The landlord has a right to get from-10 to 12 per cent of the evalua­ tion of. his property, in rent." If the highest evaluation of property in, this group was $400, the top rentals- should have been from $3.33 to $4.00 per month. Only nine of the rents being paid fell within the customary rental percentage.. Twenty-eight of the ren­ tal fees were between $5 and $11. Twenty-nine families paid between- $11 and $15 rent and 20 paid between $15 and $20. The top rental figures were between $25 and $30 a month. If the landlord was getting a $20 ren­ tal fee from a $400 house he was making as much as 60 per cent inter­ est on his investment. Mobile Population As might be guessed the mobility of this population is quite great. Seventy-one per* cent of the families had lived in their homes less than five years. One family had moved 13 times in the last five years and one had moved nine times in the last year. These figures are weak in some re­ spects, of course. Some of the fam­ ilies did not give adequate informa­ tion and much had to be gained by personal observation of the interview­ ers. Some of the families of the low income group were not contacted be cause, they, might be living, in sub­ standard dwellings of a higher evalu­ ation. But the information at least proves the way toward getting aid for a housing project and shows what vital need there is for such a project in Ellensburg. On Monday night, February 27, at 8:15, members of the Associated Student Body and the Ellensburg Community Concert Association will have the opportunity of hearing a recital by Toscha Seidel, violinist, in the College Audi­ torium. Mr. Seidel's concert will be the second in the * series sponsored by these two organizations. The third will be heard on Monday, March 13, when the Mozart Boys' Choir of Vienna will sing in the Auditorium. These concerts are partially supported by an 'appropriation from the As­ sociated Students fund, voted by the student council. The presi­ dent of the student body is a member of the executive council of the Concert Association. Mr. Seidel, who was born in- 1899, is, like Jascha Heifetz, a Russian,( and he once studied with Leopold Auer, as did Hei­ fetz, Elman, and Zimbalist.. He made his American debut in 1918, and since then has been well known to the concert-goers of this country. Mr. Siedel will be accompanied on the piano by Eugene Kusmi- ak.

SOCIAL €AaLEN©&rc SATURDAY,»FEB 25 9P^Mi Colonial: Ball: BASKETBALL TONIGHT 7:30 C.W.C.E. vs. W.W.C.E. Well over 100 persons heard Harold- Barto and O. H. Holmes speak on Fascism at the History Club's Open Forum last Thursday night. IMr. Barto, in discussing the politi­ cal aspects, gave 15 underlying theories and principles of fascism, such as the unimportance of majority opinion, strong executive power, the duty of the state is to mold society, so that personal interest will coincide with that of the state, etc. Specialists He said that we have become too dependent upon specialists by not knowing anything about the things we use. When the car won't run we call the mechanic when the lights go out, we call the electrician. Likewise, we have called upon a planning council, a president or a political party when something igoes wrong with our gov­ ernment, because we know nothing about it ourselves. Germany and Italy have called upon dictators. Dictators Dictators^ are not master minds, but masters of the art of simplifying, so­ ciety observed Mr. Barto. The quick­ est and easiest way to simplify a so­ ciety is to regiment it. It can be con­ trolled the easiest under a military organization. "No dictator could -last. 24 hours without secret police," Barto stated. Some form of secret police are neces­ sary. ' . Committing Suicide Mi*. Barto concluded by saying that liberalism, which he defined as the freedom of choice, and 'democracy, which he defined as the freedom of thtf individual and interaefcittn' among individuals,, are not being killed by the dictators and fascism, but are com­ mitting suicide at their own hands by not attempting to solve the prob­ lems they have brought on them­ selves. ' Fascism A Method Mr. Holmes introduced his address with the remark that fascism is not a. structure or institution but a method. .He quoted. Mussolini's famous re­ mark to Lincoln Stephens: "The Treaty of Versailles is the greatest instrument of war ever written by the hand of man." The countries which have taken the rap from the Treaty, Germany and Italy, are the ones in which the fascist state has grown up. | Italy was bankrupt after the war and her people were starving. "When .freedom becomes the liberty to starve, man cares little for his freedom and will' sell it very cheaply." Fascism In Germany , In Germany the rich class became (Continued on Page 4) REGISTRATION OF TEACHERS Students who plan to teach during" the, spring quarter will be given the opportunity of getting assignments through conference with Miss Hebeler at her office in the Training School, beginning Monday, February 27.

Many universities, colleges, high schools, and private drama schools in the coast states were represented. Those attending from C.'W. C. E. were: Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Lembke, Marcena Woemer, Shirley Bloom, Dwight Newell, and Kathleen Kelleher. h ' Inspection The conference opened with a tea in the. drama library in Denny Hall, followed by an inspection of theatre laboratories and marionette workshop, a display of historical theatre models, arid an exhibition of theatrical books, designs, and costumes. Friday morning, a general session was held in the ballroom of the Ed­ mond Meany Hotel. Miss Gwendoline iShowell of the Hollywood Community Theatre, Cali­ fornia, spoke on "Neely Dickson's Hollywood Community Theatre." Her talk was merely an advertisement for this school which trains people from four to a hundred in dramatic work. She proudly claimed Robert Taylor as "one of our boys." Lembke's Talk Mr. Russell Lembke's subject was "The Contribution of the Teachers' College to Dramatic Education." Mi1. Lembke expressed a distaste for ar­ tistic extremes in the teaching of drama. His talk was among the best received at the whole session. Future of Theatre . "The Future of the Federal The­ atre" was the topic chosen by Mr. Edwin G. O'Connor, state director of She 'Federal Theatre Project. He main- stained that the Federal Theatre was | the people's theatre, and its aims as [.a. people's theatre were three: (1) it inust 'be available to a vast majority .of the.people, (2) it must be concern­ ed with the emotions and problems of the. people, (3) it must maintain such a standard of production that it will •be wanted by . the people.. In three years, 924 plays have been given, which^ include: the classics, living newspaper series, American, regilious, children's, marionette, dance, racial vaudeville, variety, musical comedy, and even circus. Of these plays, 10 percent were of social significance and 9G percent were plays emphasized as proper for children. The success of the theatre with children was shown when after one of the directors of the Federal Theatre had taken his smnl! son to a motion picture and a play he asked the boy which he liked better. . .The lad replied, "I like round actors best!" Mr. O'Connor said of the pro­ ject, "It will las.t as long as the peo­ ple want it." Shakespeare 4 •Mr. Michael Ferrall of the Universi­ ty of Washington spoke of "The Globe Theatre and Streamlined Shake- speare." Mr. Fen-all told of his ex­ periences with short cutting from Shakespearean plays at the Chicago World's Fair in 1934 and at the ex­ positions in San Diego, Cleveland, and • Dallas. During one performance, he paused in the middle of a speech for dramatic effect, and was immediately prompted by a little old lady in the first row. There was also the little • old lady 'who came back stage after the performance for Shakespeare's autograph! His most interesting ex­ perience was, however, at the Cleve­ land Exposition. Their theatre was on the Midway and there was a great rivalry among the concessions to see who could make the most noise and -•advertise, their attractions oyer the loudspeaker more loudly than the others. On this particular night, they ington State College." He said that the theatre \vas a democratic institu­ tion, of, for, and 'by the people. He maintained that through, dramatic training, students become more able to master their feelings. As an exam­ ple, he told of one of his students who kept his job by giving "A Comedy of Errors" when the superintendent said they couldn't give such an im­ moral play as "Stage 'Door." 1300 Plays A Year The feature speaker of the day was Barrett H. Clark, New York drama critic and historian, who talked on "Making Our Own Theatre." He said that people have been predicting the extinction of the theatre from the tively more alive now than ever be- tively more aliev now than ever be­ fore. It is one of the few social func­ tions which has persisted through the ages, and now nearly 1300 new plays are written and produced annually in the United States. He asked why peo­ ple were interested in the theatre when it meant so much hard work and uncertainty, and gave as his own an­ swer: "Through this theatre-thing, I get a little closer to the essence of life than otherwise . . . What we de­ mand of life, we demand of the the­ atre." His philosophy of life is that the chief function of man is to find cut more about this life to enable him to discover his goal, and the theatre is the best place to see and understand life. He has been trying to encourage young playwrights to keep writing plays, and. to encourage amateur groups to produce these untried plays, but he has admitted defeat because no one wants to produce a play not already proven successful on Broad­ way. He said that the chief end of the theatre was to entertain, and he thought the Marx Brothers were great actors but he disliked Katherine Cor­ nell and dubbed her, "a person trying to be a great actress.',' He then asked for questions from the audience and the:first one "boomed out, "Why don't you like Katherine Cornell? There are many of us who think her a great actress." He answered, "Well, why don't I like John Smith's wife as well 2S John Smith does?" The next ques tion came from a little old lady in the back of the room, "Do you mean that the Marx Brothers give satisfac­ tion to life?" Mr. Clark said, "No, I didn't say that." The lady replied, "You New York critics are the bunk, I can't understand one word you're saying!" and the morning session ended. stage speech is used in amateur pro­ ductions, the result is not usually con­ vincing. out if it is used, one should try to hit a happy medium and not go to "arty extremes." It is important to speak according to the section of the country in which you live. One should learn to speak the American- English form of speech sincerely, slowly, pleasantly, audibly, and with a good range in pitch: The session ended with another talk by Barrett H. Clark, the critic, on "The Democracy of the American Theatre." Each afternoon and evening, there v,ere a number of plays in production to which the participants of the con­ ference were invited. Some of these v-ere: University of Washington Pup- ClII/YHTlkT INCREASE SHOWN tion of Cinderella, George and Marga- j ret at the Cornish Theatre, Spiro-j chete, a Federal Theatre production, Judgment Day at the Repertory Play- !

During the autumn term, there were 692 students in residence, but during the Christmas holidays all new students enrolled and 85 with­ drew, making a total resident enrol­ ment at the present time of 718. Of these 289 are men and 429 are women, which represents a ratio of two men to three women. • Men Increased Two trends have been evidenced in recent years, President McConnell ex­ plained. One is that the percentage of men has been increasing.. The other is that there has been a steady growth in enrolment since the depth of the depression in 1933. The enrolment has doubled since 1934. The largest increases have come during the past two years when we have recorded a total increase of 41.3 per cent, ^he freshman and senior classes are the largest in the history of the school with enrolments of 311 and 80 re­ spectively. It 'is quite probable that the senior class will continue to get larger, because more and more the re­ quirement of four years of training is goirbg to be demanded on the part of the schools, and four years of train­ ing is now necessary before one re­ ceives a standard certificate, which must be secured after: the first tempo­ rary certificate issued upon, three years of training expires. | KODAKS | £ AND ALL KODAK £ o SUPPLIES — DEVELOPING o % and PRINTING § g Bostic's Drug Store 5 ^ -Free Delivery J t PHONE MAIN 73 t AND Winter MEANS: A CAREFUL, - COMPLETE CHECK OF YOUR CAR BY COMPETENT .MECHANICS AND MODERN EQUIPMENT Assure Yourself of Safe Summer Service All Through the WINTER MONTHS •& •& •& •B •& & •0- «• •& « » ft ft ft ft % ft «• « ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft «• ft Kelleher's Complete Ford Service NORTH PE ARL ST.

In front thru- out the entire game, they led 26-20 with 7 minutes remaining: f when the breaks turned against them. Carr, who had been play­ ing- inspirational ball for the Wildcats, left the game on 4 fouls, and Cheney sunk 2 lucky long shots to draw up close. In the melee that followed, Sanders and VandenBrmk both followed Carr out via the foul route, and the game ended with Cheney on of a 29-26 score. Central Washington did not score a point during the last 7 minutes.

E. majors and minors have recently been basv with their year's program. A meeting was held last week, and Virginia Pendleton present­ ed different aspects of physical educa­ tion work which might be of practi­ cal use to all future P. E. teachers. After mnch discussion the group de­ cided to have a few basketball games for the present time. The junior and senior girls planned to act as referees, timekeepers and scorekeepers. A volunteer committee held various meetings for the purpose of organiz­ ing teams, schedules, and announce- I. ments. Those on the committee were: Lois Jayner, Mary Douglas, Emma Jane Schrengshst, Ethel Piel, Betty Nelson, Francis Walker, Wanda Noble and Alene Johnson. The games were held on Saturday .moming and Thursday evening. The -girls reported to have gained much practical experience as well as plenty of exercise. Miss Puekett has been helping and explaining any problems to the girls. It is the plan of the group to continue these meetings and games, and perhafps establish more definite plans for the future. At the present they have discussed various plans, but no definite deci­ sions have been made. Having useful information printed about P. E. teach­ ing is one of the main ideas. The material will be about care of equip­ ment, buying equipment, rules for games, and officiating at games. Also, field sports, individual games, and dance problems are to be cnosid- ered later on in the season. Isn't it funny how we all root for U. of W. to perform the miracle and beat Oregon out of the Pacific Coast Northern Divi­ sion crown, and yet we can't see how P. L.

This cup is a perma­ nent trophy, with the winner's name added each year. The events include baseball throws, basketball free throws, rope climbing, etc., etc. A system of judging has been worked cut whereby the smaller men are com­ pensated by handicaps. For instance, the high jump is rated in teams of height jumped divided by contestants height in inches. As nearly as pos­ sible the Decathlon measures all- round ability, control of body, and stamina, more than mere aptitude in individual sports. » Competition will be keener this year than ever before, because of increased enrolment, says Mr. Mabee.

TO PRESENT MANY SPEAKERS Figgures To Speak On Britain Toscha Seidel and his Stradivarius SEIDEL WILL PLAY OLD STR AD When the Berengaria docked M New York recently-, one of her passengers was Toscha Seidel, eminent virtuoso of the violin- He waited patiently with the rest of the voyagers for his bag­ gage to be brought to him for ISietHsiial customs inspection and declaration. Finally it arrived, and jdong with it a customs in- sj»ecfcor. All Seidel's baggage inspected except an oblong boar that contained two of his violins which he had carried with him on his tour of the Scan­ dinavian countries and Russia. The-artist declared its con tents and asked if he were to open the case. "Of course," was the re­ ply. "How do I know what's in there?" The case was opened and,there were two violins in it, one of them being wrapped in a silk wscarf, which the artist was loathe to show. This immedi­ ately aroused the inspector's su­ spicions, and he started to ask questions. "Where did you get .that violin? Was it brought here? How much is it worth?" Seidel, rather bewildered by the explosion, 'and chagrined to hink that he was not trusted, very honestly replied, "The uncovered one is cheap, you can have it lie second one is a Stradivarius maide in Cremona in 1714, it's worth about $60,000 and I bought it in New York. The inspector's eyes narrowed to little slits, and his mouth worked itself up into a wry smile that always accompanies melo- dramtic incredulity. He ques­ tioned Seidel, "Are you ready to swear an oath to those state­ ments ?" The answer, of course, was "yes!" The chief of the staff of in- specrobs was summoned who knew of the violinist and also about the value of a Stradiva­ rius. He took Seidel's oath, as­ sured him that it was a pleasure to havei met him and walked away while the inspector looked after him and said, "What tare you trying to do, kid me? How cotdd anything so old be worth so madh money ?" When Toscha Seidel plays here before the Associated Students oC the College on Monday night, February. 27, at the College Au­ ditorium, he will bring his "cus­ toms inspection 'Strad'" with him. FASCISM (Continued from uage 1) afraid that the laboring class- would revolt and take things- over as they had done in Russia. The: big interests offered a propaganda program to po­ litical leaders which stripped laibor of its power to keep it from taking prop­ erty and offered a better life than it had been accustomed. Adolf Hitler was the man who carried out. this pro­ gram. Government Control Hitler, however, eventually has come to control capital by-way of the fascistic method. The .government controls industry because it becomes industry's biggest customer. In order to buy manufactured products cheap­ ly, the government wants the indus­ tries to expand. In order to expand, industry must receive help from the government. The government thus be­ comes a partner of industry by con- troling the supply and demand of manufactured products. Fascism and Socialism The difference between this system and socialism is that socialism is es­ sentially interested in a better living: for the masses, not m. buying special goods from certain industries. It does not. buy '"heavy" goods, such as anna- merits, btrt consumable goods which will raise the standard of living of the masses. When the fascistic government pur­ chases heavy goods and expands heavy industries, there is less money for con­ sumable goods, and the standard of living of the masses is forced down or to stay at the same leveL It is in­ terested in consumable goods only as it is necessary to ration foodstuffs and the bare necessities. In order to economize on heavy in­ dustries, the government must drive a hard bargain with its own people, the •working class. As long: as labor is not forced down too much, it will not revolt. However, if the government goes too far in economizing, there is danger of a revolution. Why Fascism Comes "Fascism comes to a country,^ said Mr. Holmes, "when the economic sys­ tem cannot stand on its own legs. The stagnation of business of a nation shows the economic path of fascism.' Mr. Holmes closed by saying that so many experts are afraid of com­ munism when fascism is so close. "You can't have communism without revolution," he said, "but you can certainly have fascism." With the naming of the speakers j and conference chairman for the pend- jing International Relations Club Con­ ference, there can be but little doubt in the minds of the' citiisens of Ellens- burg and the students of C. W. C. E. as to the international significance of such a conclave. It is not every day that such a gathering of notables is to. be seen in the smaller to wns of the West, and Ellensbuxg should indeed feel honored to play the host to such a group. Dr. F. F. Figgures, overseas secre­ tary of the British League of Nations Union, has been chosen, by the Car­ negie Endowment for the Advance­ ment of Peace, as the main speaker. Mr. Figgures is now on a visit from England to the United States and Canada. He has been close to politi­ cal developments in Great Britain,. France and other countries of Europe' for several years, has organized im­ portant conferences and speaks with authority on the political situation in Czechoslavakia, France and Great Britain. Graduated With First Honors He was .graduated from New Col­ lege, Oxford, with first honors in the school of modern history., and studied , at Merton College^. Oxford, where he was a Harmsworth senior scholar. He later went to Yale University where he held the Henry Fellowship. As a student he was active in the British Universities 'League- of Nations Union. At the recent (Plenary Congress of the International Federation of League of Nations Societies held in Copenhagen this summer, Mr. Figgu­ res was elected secretary-general of the federation. He will speak on iRecent Develop­ ments in British Foreign Policy. Other Speakers Dr. Charles E. Martin, head of the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington, will also give a talk, and. Miss Amy He­ mingway Jones, Carnegie Endowment representative, will lead the discus­ sions. FORMER NORMAL PRESIDENT DIES P. A.
