DISCUSS NATIONAL DEFENSE
Professor Caldwell and Some of His
Friends Consider President's
Proposed Policy
Prof. H. W. Caldwell invited some
of the professors and students to his
home Sunday evening to discuss the
national defense problem of the Unit
ed States. The following points were
discussed:
1. Is It true that there is any pow
erful nation that has any desire or
reason to make war on the United
States? If so, what nation? What ad
vantage would there be to gain?
2. Is it true that there is any na
tion capable of making a successful
attack on the United States? Is it
(rue that we are not reasonably well
prepared now to defend our country?
Is it true that la the last fifteen years
the United States has spent $2,000,
000,000 on its navy and now has no ef
ficiency? Does not our remoteness
from other powerful nations make
our defense relatively easy?
3. Do present day world conditions
increase or lessen the probability of
any nation desiring or being able to
attack the United States? What will
be the sentiment oil the masses of the
European nations in regard to start
ing a new war at the close of the
rresent struggle? Will any great na
tion be In a financial or industrial
condition to turn it once ag&iiittt the
United States? In brief, is there the
remotest probability that any power
will desire or be able to attack such
a great nation as tb? United States?
4. How can the United States
spend its wealth so as to make itself
moat powerful? Is it In mere militar
sin or in developing its transporta
tion systems, in giving scientific train
ing, n working out the problems of
health and in giving efficiency through
universal education of the highest type
through solving the problems of unity
of action and -spirit between the em
ployer and the laborer?
"5. Finally, does preparation to use
force tend to develop civilization and
to secure what most Americans de
sire universial peace and national
good-will and co-operation? Are rea
son and justice to be ignored in the
main and moral influence to be set
aside? Is it true that America was
right a year ago .when it said that
military preparation was a factor in
causing war? Or are the views of the
the troubled brains of today more logi
cal and more reliable? Is it true or
Is it not true that a large part of
those who are organizing for increased
military power are either materially
Interested or psychologically over
wrought? After considering these problems for
two hours the majority of those pres
ent voted for the following statement:
"Resolved, That the porposed pro
gram for increase or tec army ana
navy may be postponed for at least
one vear in oraer io give uiue ior
ascertaining all the world facts bear
ing on the questions and for exercise
of deliberate popular Judgment there
on."

story of the same name and was writ
ten by Eliska Krasnohorska, a grad
uate student ci English and Slavonic

SOCIAL SERVICE
. LEADERS CH0SEI1
DR. WARD OF BOSTON TO SPEAK
TO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
WAS ESTES PARK SPEAKER
Represents Federal Council of Church
es To Speak Monday Evening
and Tuesday in Convocation
Noted as Direct Speaker
Harry F. Ward, Ph. D., secretary of
the Methodist Federation for Social
Service, is to be in Lincoln Monday
and Tuesday of next week, chiefly for
addresses before the students. He will
speak at convocation Tuesday, Novem
ber 2, and in the Temple on Monday
evening, November 1.
Dr. Ward represents the social serv
ice movement, not only in the Meth
odist church, but in the Federal Coun
cil of Churches. He represents the
principles and program of 17,000,000
people. He speaks with a background
of broad experience and a long study
of social and industrial problems. He
is one of that group of pioneers who
are preaching the gospel of social
Christianity, the religion of everyday
life, its appliaction to business, Indus
try and politics.
As a speaker Dr. Ward s very di
rect, and secures and holds atten
tion by his marshalling of facts rather
than by any emphasis on delivery.
The "Labor World," in speaking of
one of his addresses, said: "Dr. Ward
wasted no time on 'bunk' and piffle
and maudlin sentiment, but dug into
the very vitals of the economic and
Bocial questions, like a steam shovel
shoveling away at a bank of sand."
Dr. Ward was one of the speakers
at the Estes Park conference this
year, and the men in the University
who were there are very much grati
fied to know that he is to be with us
for these two days.
John Loder President
At a very boisterous meeting yester
day, the Junior Laws chose John Loder
as president. Mr. Loder made a very
interesting speech, but the uproar was
so great no one heard it.
