A Tribute to
the Student Body
S;iy, the Ioys ami jiirls on this campus
sure did themselves proml yesterday in regard
to the student forum held in the Temple; In
fact, a lni-jre majority of the university enroll
jnent showed cneournjrinply critical nnd in
formed opinion on international affairs. The
students' brilliant advance analysis of the
complicated machinations of world powers
may even throw its light as far as the per
plexed state department.
The campus presented a solid front of
complete understanding of the foreign situa
tion. The intelligent student attitude, dem
onstrated yesterday, shows clearly that the
lethargy and unconcern, common to youth
in reference to anything but their own nar
row, perspectiveless routine of college life,
is completely absent at Nebraska. Corn
husker collegians, that gay coterie of the
younger set of the state, so often misrepre
sented as interested in nothing but football,
rallies, caking, partying, and the name of
having been at college, were a credit to their
university. They showed themselves shrewd
world citizens.
The student council's bungling forum
committee ..underestimated the knowledge o
1 he student body when it chose as a topic for
discussion fascism in Brazil. The Vargas coup
d'etat proved to be a virtual antiquity in the
lives of the globe minded students. The forum
committee failed to realize that while this in
ternationally significant event of last Nov. 9
might be exceedingly timely to ordinary mor
tals it would be comprehended, condensed ami
dosed ancient history to the keen student ob
servers at Nebraska.
Some l.")0 odd stragglers as far behind the
times as the forum committee nnd the speaker,
Dr. Lyman Harris of Omaha U, attended the
discussion. The remaining thousands on the
campus deserve commendation for their reali
zation that the issue of fascism in Brazil was
just a newspaper scare fed by the vicious ap
petite of the alarmists.
The Nebraskan points with pride to this
large bloc of its readers who knew long be
fore any forum was held that there was
nothing to worry about in nearby Brazil.
The readers knew that the speaker, if he had
their inside dope on matters, would conclude
that there was probably no such thing as
fascism in Vargas' new setup, only dictator
ship. The students knew that there were no
materials for fascism in Brazil, what with
75 percent of the people illiterate, acute so
cial and economic problems at home, and ab
solutely no taste for foreign conquest be
cause of adequate territory and resources
to accommodate its population.
The readers knew that these conditions
breed dictatorship, but not fascism of the em
pire crazed German-Italian-Japanesc brand.
They knew that fascism in Brazil was a dead
topic because there was no such thing. They
knew that the United States cguld do nothing
but gain by the establishment of a strong gov
ernment, for instance dictatorship, in a coun
try where strong foreign governments were
trying to intrude.
They, knew that powerful and centralized
control in a country where fascist trade and
culture were already rife would only keep
Hcrmany and Italy from any more active
propaganda. They knew that fascist methods,
which are the same as those of a dictatorship,
but not fascist principles might obtain in Bra
zil to the advantage of the great fatherly de
mocracy to the west and north.
They knew that the Monroe doctrine
had already been crippled by Roosevelt's
Chicago speech and bv Uncle Sam's partici
pation at Erussels. They knew that this
weakening of the great warning document
would go hard with the U. S. if Germany or
Italy ever tried an overt penetration into
Brazil, but that this was unimportant be
cause such invasion is likely not to happen
at least until after the Thanksgiving vaca
tion. And that's a long way off.
Of course the students didn't attend the
forum. Why should they? They knew.

Vargos Tightens Grip
President Vargos tightens his
grip on Brazil thru a decree abol
ishing federal courts in the na
tion's 20 states, Acre territory and
tlie federal district of Rio de Jane-
Vargos' determined march
toward one man supremacy shows
little sign of encountering impedi
ments along the way. The army is
on hand to back his every move.
His opponents are' kept in custody
to insure "their own safety."
Fascism Or Is It?
Commentors who have studied
the situation state that fascism
played no part in the recent coup
d etat. Yet the newly established
dictator is reported to have given
the fascist salute in public, ana me
decree in 1935 declaring fascism
illegal was never enforced. Specu
lations are rife as to the signifi
cance of the dissolving of the fas
cist party as a political organiza
tion, immediately uion establish
ment of the new constitution. As

Fascist Injections.
Whether fascism exists aa a po
litical party or not, fascist influ
ence is continually being injected
thru German, Italian and Japanese
measures. The instilling of fascist
propaganda thru exchange schol
arships and subsidization of educa
tion are seized upon by alarmists
as evidence of a possible forthcom
ing active interference.
Co-operation from Vargas is un
likely, however. His motive in the
coup d' etat apparently is ambi
tion for complete power, part of
the "old story" of the rising of
South American dictators. Brazil is
an immense nation, with vast pos
sibilities, and there would be no
particular point in extending his
influence or alliance beyond its
borders.
