ADDRESS GIVEN
BY VAN DUSEN
Y. MvC. A. Worker Speaks to
World Forum at Lunch
eon Wednesday.
RECONSTRUCTION OF
WORLD IS SUBJECT
"Attempts are being made toward
reconstruction in Europe through
manipulation of economic and me
chanical forces. I do not believe that
this is the way. Manipulation of the
human forces fear, jealousy, hate,
and love is necessary to bring about
natural conditions in the countries
ravished by war," declared Henry
Pitney Van Dusen, member of the
international committee cf the Y. M.
C. A., in speaking at the World For
um luncheon group on "The Basic
Factor in World Reconstruction" at
the Grand Hotel Wednesday.
"Human factors," he continued.
"mainly fear and suspicion, were
fundamental in causing the world
war, rather than matters of econom
ic welfare as is generally believed.
"Now, as always, moral factors
manifesting themselves in variations
of the psychological factors are basic
in world reconstruction. Alleviation
of fear, removal of jealousy, absolute
extermination of hate, and acquisi
tion of love are the means toward
effecting ideal conditions in world
civilization."
Solution of the three main prob
lems before the world the interna
tional problem, the industrial prob
lem, and the problem of racial rela
tionship lies chiefly in considera
tion of the human factors in world
life in the opinion of Mr. Van Dusen.
No little blame for the demoralized
condition of the world was placed by
the speaker on "Intellectual disor
ganization." "People do not know
what they believe," he declared.' "We
need pe6ple who see truly, who will
live a kind of moral life that is free
from dissatisfying factors, who in
their determination of a life work
will throw themselves out where they
are most needed in reconstructing
the psychological conditions of the
world.
"Reason has no place in the con
sideration of the Versailles treaty,"
he declared. "Consideration of fear
and patriotism dictated the policy of
the French in this matter. That kind
of statesmanship cannot continue."
Mr. VanDusen cited the statement of
Frank A. Vanderlippe to the effect
that the world needs a "spiritual re
vival," since that is the only thing
that could rectify the conditions and
complexes brought . about , by the
events which have recently transpired
in world affairs.

SENATE KILLS ,
UNI LEVY BILL
State Senate Votes to Indefin
itely Postpone Measure
for Appropriation.
TEN-YEAR FEATURE IS
BONE OF CONTENTION
The University and normal school
building levy bills for an eighth of
a mill for ten years were indefinitely
postponed by the state senate Wed
nesday. All through the discussions
and votes in the open senate upon
the measure, the roll has stood the
same, fifteen for the advancement
of the bill and seventeen against
The roll call on the motion to inde
finitely postpone was carried by a
17 to 15 majority. Only one mem
ber of the senate was absent and
not voting1 Humphrey of Hall
county.
Senator Reed of Hamilton, who
led the fight for adoption of the re
port of his committee on finance that
the bill should be killed, declared
that the bill was practically defeat
ed yefterday, and would have been
actually defeated had it not been
for an adverse ruling of Chairman
Warner of Lancaster, which he de
clared defective.
Amendments offered in attempts
to pass a bill of this nature, with an
actual comprehensive building pro
gram limited to a maximum of f 2,
400,000 available in six years of
levy instead of $4,000,000 in ten
years as provided in the original bill,
were defeated.
General sentiment in the opposi
tion seemed to be antagonistic to
ward the extension of the period of
levy over more than a single bienni
um, but at the same time very much
in favor of appropriation for building
purposes of the University.
Vote to Postpone BilL
Action to postpone the bill inde
finitely came from Senator Reed, in
a motion in the open senate ratner
than in committee of the whole as
usual. A substitute motion to
amend and then advance the bill in
open session instead of the commit
tee of the whole was then offered
by Jeary of Lancaster, one of the
main supporters of the original bilL
Upon contention of irregularity of
parliamentary procedure, Lieutenant
Governor Williams in the chair held
that since there was no ruling for
bidding such action the motions were
in order; and that whenever there
was no prohibiting rule, disposition
of a bill in any manner judged ex
pedient by the majority was possible.
Following Jeary"s charge of Sen
ator Reed's unfriendliess to the Uni
versity, although he admitted that
Reed had verbally expressed friend
ship, several senators testified to the
friendliness of Reed toward the Uni
versity.
Jeary was railed for attempting to
change the nature of the bill by
amendment and for changing hi
mind regarding his motion of yester
day to refer the bill to a referendum
of the people. The principle of the
original bill and of his proposed
amendments was the same according
to Senator Jeary. He had not pre
viously favored the six year period
for levy, but had been advised by
other senators to try the success of
a motion for a six-year program.
