WARREN MEZ IS MAN'S FIGHTING INSTINCT Intensely Interesting Address Given at Convocation Question Is Viewed From New Angle Mim's fighting Instinct Is the under lying psychological cause of war was the gist of aa address delivered by Dr. Warren Mex,.Ph.D ot Munich, Germany, on the "Psychology of War and Peace" yesterday at Convocation. Doctor Me said that each one of us has a natural desire to do things, to have a place in the world, to have a hand In running things. This de sire is shown now by our economic struggles and our attempts to attain ease, riches, and culture. This is the outgrowth of the civilization which forbade individual combat Because of tMs our fighting energy as indi viduals has been diverted Into the struggles for the economic advantages of modern life. This same natural desire Is shown in the nation by that nation always working for a larger share of the com merce of the world, a new colony, or some commercial advantage. Doctor Mes went on to say that this was the way in which the fighting instinct ot the nation should.be exhibited and the method which modern clviliaatiou endorsed. "Of course," said the speak er, "just as we have cases where men resort to combat to settle personal strife so do we still have cases where nations have been enable to settle their differences by peaceable means." The reason for this is that we have not gone far enough along the road which leads to the elimination of per sonal combat. The world has pro gressed greatly in this, however," iiid the lecturer. Today we have pwtically no fighting between Indi viduals in civilised countries and comparatively few wars between na tions. The present struggle In Europe is simply proof of the fact that men and nations forget their training at GfiI GIT M ... j Boiling Em Down - Charter D&Y Id r3 vj y. , i Finn Final Notice to Delinquents Tomorrow is the last day that sub scriptions to the Nebraskan will be credited on the new policy allowing a semester (or year) of the Nebraskan free of charge.
