PAGE TwO TI1E DAILY NEMUSKAN, TUESDAY. FEBKUARY 8, 19M (fandoh. By Harold Niemann v $ ' WAR'. - - Reverberations on The Diplomatic Front Hill Clayton, The Lucky Hoy There was a lucky boy on this campus yesterday. Serious mind ed, energetic, personality plus, and conscientious, Bill Clayton was tapped into the royal realm of Innocency. And Kill probably realizes just how fortunate and lucky he was. As far as deserving the posi tion he attained, there can be no doubt. Considering all the Innocents that are eligible to te in that senior honorary, I think we are safe in saying that Clay ton had more activities than any other member. He ranks high in the field artillery, he is edi tor of tlie Cornhusker, he is a member of the student council which he represents on the ath letic board of control, and among other things, he is a past presi dent of a pharmaceutical club and Phi Kappa Psi. Glory Without Fate. Put Bill, I think, was a lucky hey in a different sense of the word. Now he can receive all the questionable plory and respect of being an Innocent without all the presumptions work that Innocents did during the first semester. He can now fill in a position which lie deserved long before his class of Innocents was tapped - a posi tion he would have received had It not been for several of his politi cal minded friends up the street. Several good men have fallen over the cliff of procrastination because of too many activities, Innocency included, this year. Just think, Bill is all past that for he will only have to serve in his capacity for several more months. He won't have to get out in front of the crowd at a football game, he won't be forced to stop us from rallying for important tilts, he won't have to dig in his own pocket to help finance a helpless Inno cents' party flung in the coliseum. Yes, about all Bill will have to do now is to vole- to vote for a fraternity brother in that coming crop of activity men who got in and coulcint get out - for tne in nocent of tomorrow. You're lucky Bill. You know it? Dr. Lugn Swears Dust Days Should Not Cause Anxiety (Continued from Page 1.) TO the Editor: In an unhappy cross between a bedtime story and a windy lecture in international re lations, R A. Finkle and David Blanehard eol laborated in an attempt to defend the U. S. tattle tale diplomacy in the orient. It is not our wish to east any reflections upon the con descending style employed by the erudite Mr. Finkle and Mr. Ulanchard, but those who think they have been bitten by the precious sting of the intellectual bug are usually suffering from the blinding illumination resulting from the work of a moth, who lias eaten away some of the wool from over their eyes. The eminent authorities on international law and comity, R. A. Finkle and David Blan ehard, based their inspired defense upon the fact that diplomatic representatives are not acting as individual citizens abroad, but are acting in the best interests of the common wealth from which Ihcy receive Iheir appoint ments. Another point of information, which was so magnanimously offered for the enlight enment of the masses by Finkle and Dlanchard, was this perspicacious comment : "Such slap ping administered by one in the uniform of the Japanese government can only be construed as an attempt, either undertaken of the soldier's volition or following upon governmental or official edict, to impugn the authority of the United Stales government and its rights in that region, which rights had been granted thru international law and comitv." Contrary to Finkle 's and Blanehard 's assumption that it can only be construed as a deliberate attempt to impugn the rights of the U. 5., it can be construed as nothing more than the slapping- of one man by another. It is about as absurd to suggest that the Japanese high command would trust a com mon sentry with vital information concerning governmental policy, as to assume that Mr. Allison is publicity shy. Proceeding- along the lines suggested by Finkle and David, you would have to assume that an organ grinder's monkey, by virtue of his uniform, represents the best interests of the organ grinder; and, as a matter of fact, he does, but he is none the less a monkey. Supposing the monkey, in his official ea- ; mi vegetable life of the time, for leneath each layer of dust tire loiind the fossils of that age. It is not the recurrence of an ther dust era that we are to fear, jiceording to Dr. Lugn, but the mparalively regular appearance o the more local dust cycle, ur, I. en views with trepidation the i: iwing talk of "giving the land 1 ck to the Indians and the grow ing tendency of farmers to sell their land to corporations and syndicates because of discourage ment from recent dust storms. In 20 years Dr. Dugn can see the corporations selling the fertile and productive land back again to the farmers just in time for another dust period. Perhaps, in 100 years, people will learn to plan long range programs to combat these natural cycles. Nebraska receives more than it loses during dust storms, so while locally, the storms do great dam ge, they may finally prove to be beneficial, according to Dr. Uign Between Marchc 21 and 28. 1935, the week of Nebraska's heaviest dust storm on record, 40 car load rf dust wasleft per square mile in the Lincoln area. Correction of harmful agricul tural practices, such as overgraz' ing of the high plains, extensive wheat farming, and the destruc tion of grasshoppers who destroy the anchoring vegetable cover of 1he soil, could do much to allevi ate the intensity of the periodic Uust storm, said Dr. Lugn. paeitv of commercial representative to the Organ Orindcrs union, climbs up the grape vine to the window of a street cleaner s flat. There has been a little trouble between the Sweepers of the Rising Sun and the Organ flrinders union, because of a little matter of a sewer grill. It seems that when people throw their pennies upon the pavement that some of them go down the sewer grill. Now the Sweepers of the Kising Sun claim that, all the monev that goes down the grill is theirs, but the Organ Orindcrs insist that, since the money was intended for them, they should have'it all. In fact it got to the place where the Sweepers kept a man with a broom at every grill and when a penny fell near it, he was 'instructed to sweep it down the sewer. To offset this great trade handicap the Organ Orindcrs put. up n huge net. in order that none of the coins could fall to the pavement. Natu rally, a lot of bad blood bad developed be tween the two organizations. If you will remember back a paragraph or two, you will recall a monkey in uniform that had entered a street cleaner's flat. Well, the street cleaner's dog, which he kept as a sentry, chased the monkey out the win dow and stepped on his tail in the fracas. When his monkey came squealing out the window, the organ grinder, hearing the bark ing dog, assumed that the dirty sweeper had set the dog on his monkey ; so he sent him a very curt note. The sweeper, who had been asleep at the time and was awakened by the noise, replied that his dog had a perfect right to chase the monkey out of his flat and refused to punish the dog. As a result of this misunderstanding, the musician is carrying a grenade around in his pocket and plays the "Star Spangled Banner" all day long on his organ; and the sweeper keeps a bomb in his flat. I hope the parallel is clear. If we assume that our diplomats are a brilliant combination of Machiavclli, Rismarck. Disraeli, Mussolini, Finkle and Blanehard, then we can safely proceed along those lines in our foreign policy which Iheir action sug gests for us. Hut since we are represented by human beings, it might be well to consider Iheir frailties in our international relations. AYliy jump on our diplomat ie high horse at the first sign of difficulty and gallop into other people's troubles? Some people say that we have trouble enough of our own without hunt ing for it.
