CONVOCATION HONORS 587; STUDENTS HEAR GILMORE'S SPEECH ON CONSTITUTION Iowa's President Pleads For Preservation of Document. Dr. Eugene A. Gilmore, presi dent of the University of Iowa, greeted Nebraska honor students with an ardent plea for the preser vation of the constitution, in his address, "Changing Constitutional Concepts," before the annual hon ors convocation held In the Uni versity coliseum Thursday morn ing. The elderly educator from our neighboring state warned the 1,200 listeners against any radical wavering from the original consti tution and urged that if any change is necessary the American people should limit it to a gradual decline. Constitutional Changes. In his opening minutes the visit ing speaker pointed out that every revertion from the constitution during these recent months of dis tress had tended to substitute gov ernmental control of business en terprises for private enterprise, anil to concentrate the vital powers of government to one central au thority. As he developed his case, Dr. Gilmore showed that the action of our government during the last few years had been an exact par allel to the trend toward commu nism in Russia, extreme socialism in Germany, and toward fascism In Italy. Lauds Patriots. Then as the much respected Iowa president sipped at a giass of water, ho laudea the American patriots who were antagonizing tor the preservation of tne constitu tion ; for, he stated, "It is fortunate that thought is being aroused along such an all important line." It is of vital importance that the Amer ican people should be continually questioned as to "what the actual role of government ia?" and to what its relation to organized business should ne?" he urged. However, as the guest speaker wiped a han,d over nis perspiring brow, he hastened to detena him self against any charge of -completely estranging government-jmd; Dusiness by stating that we should strive "on the one hand to avoid the ultimate logical implication of a laissez faire regime which ends in anarchy and cnaos, and on the other hand, a socialized regimented totalitarian state in whicn individ ual initiative and freedom are lost." Nature of Document. After defining our constitution as something more than a written document setting forth the prin ciples of government but some thing of an aesthetic and spiritual nature, the native of Biownville, delved into the concept of Ameri can people toward government. "Traditionally Americans have no ' faith in government," lie began. j "We have never had as mucli gtveinment as we have today and I it should be remembered govern I ment can be as potent a source of harm as of good." Simply because j a few men nave assumed the re ; sponsibility of running the govein ! merit during such stressing times I as the last tew years have oeen, is no justification for the encourage j ment of such practices, he declared. ' Laws and not men should govern, j when power uecomes concentrated ' at one point it becomes direct re gardless of the beneficial senti ments of the central power at the beginning. The voluntary sur render or power in a "red" and not a usual remedy for such distress ing times, lie warned. "The alleged inability of the state and the extreme capability of the federal government is often used to juistiry transmitting pow ers Into national hands," reminded the speaker and then continued, "however, it should be remembered I that the whole is no better than its parts, nothing added to nothing gives nothing, and inefficiency j plus inefficiency yields Ineffi I ciency. Government in Washing ton is nothing more than govern ment awa' from home." And as the learned educator from Iowa concluded his memora ble address he stated, "hope and desire always run far ahead of ex perience. Our constitution is the result of experience and not of hope and desire." I 6La Maternelle' Critics Sing Praise "La Maternelle," internationally famous French movie with English subtitling, termed by the New York Times as the "most brilliant screen work shown In years," and called "one of the best films ever made in any language" by the Lit erary Digest, will be brought to the Varsity by Le Cercle Francais, university French club, on Satur day. After playing for a solid year in Paris and being heralded through out Europe with dazzling encom iums, the New York censors were finally worn down by the increas ing clamor from European travel ers who had seen the picture, and I relented. Last year the movie waa ! ! shown at the 55th Street Plav- ' louse in New York, and proved to ' William Smith Nominated For Franklin Co.
