Just to be safe
Strong is the hope of the Amer
ican people that we will not again
become involved in a European
war. Not so strong, judging by
standard public opinion polls, is
the faith that we will be able to
keep neutral. A very considerable
segr lent of the population believes
that we would eventually go to
the aid of the European democra
cies if they were forced to wage
war against the dictatorships at
least, if the war went on for some
length of time and the dictator
ships seemed to have the advan
tage. And so the United States is in
the act of preparing herself for
any emergency and this prepar
edness does not only involve the
largest military expenditures in
our peacetime history. Also in
volved is a plan for "M Day" (mo
bilization day), prepared largely
by military officials, which, on the
outbreak of hostilities, would have
an immediate and drastic effect
on every individual and every bus
iness in the land.
Heart of the plan, of course, is
a detailed procedure for conscript
ing manpower the war and navy
department heads probably well
remember the confusion that fol
lowed our entry into the last war,
and we are determined that it
shall not be repeated. Kvery man
within the age limits would have
to be ready to enter government
service, in a military or other ca
pacity, on call the selection be
ing made by a sort of lottery sys
tem. Unmarried young men, in
good health, will naturally be con
scripted first. That's us.
Industry will be mobilized with
equal completeness. A war re
sources administration will be
given gigantic authority in regu
lating prices, labor, trade and the
procurement of supplies. Industry
believed helpful to war will be en
couraged and aided in expansion.
Those believed not essential will
be discouraged perhaps forced
out of business. Some industries
will be taken over and operated by
the government. Under any cir

Since that day. however, the busi
ness of education has become in
creasingly more genuine."
Education, he said, is something
more than book learning. The com
plete program includes the proper
development of personality, health
and social learning. To accomp
lish the entire program satisfac
torily, students were urged to work
and play hard, but to play intel
ligently. Part of university family.
"This is not merely a great day
for you in starting a new experi
ence," Chaneelor Boucher summed
up. "It is also a great day for
the university, for you are now be
ing admitted into the great Uni
versity of Nebraska family. You
will forever be known as Nebras
ka graduates, and for that reason
you are under obligation to that
family."
The freshman convocation gave
new students their first oppor
tunity to meet the faculty, ad
ministrative officials, student
workers, and the educational pro
gram of the university. Dr. E. S.
Fullbrook, pitrfersor of marketing
presided. Kobert Waugh of Oma
ha, presiilent of the student coun
cil, welcomed the new gToup, and
songs were led by V. G. Tempcl,
with Frank Cunkie at the organ.
Following the general program,
students and members of the fac
ulty adjourned for college convo
cation. Awgwan plans

The initial issue of the Awgwan,
dedicated to the freshman, will ap
pear late in September. The theme
of the book will be a "Directory,"
suited to assist the new freshman
in his struggles with complica
tions of his university life. Editor
Betty Roach promises "it will be
fr'.l of helpful hints for helpless
frosh." i
All students interested in writ
ing features, gore, society, or even
poetry are invited to come to the

of the Student Union. The staff

cumstances, Industry, commerce
and trade will be 100 percent con
trolled by government as in dic
tatorship countries.
But this isn't all there is to the
problem some officials ' believe
that efficient warfare demands
giving the executive branch of the
government undreamed of dicta
torial powers. The president, if
they have their way, would be
given rigid control over the radio
and the press. Free speech andj
free press, if he so desired, could
be virtually abolished all in the
name of the national interest Any
individual right which those in
command thought inimical to the
successful prosecution of war
could be abrogated by presidential
decree.
The point of view of those who
plan such unprecedented legisla
tion is clear. They are principally
military men. They are greatly
concerned with what goes with
fighting. They are little concerned
with democratic theories. Any
war we might become involved in
will be against dictatorships
where one-man government makes
possible a high degree of mechan
ical efficiency and speed of action.
Therefore, they argue, we must
operate on the same firm basis
we must fight dictatorship with
the methods used by dictatorship.
They would give up democracy to
save it.
Of course, "government-by-decree"
would last, theoretically,
only as long as the emergency.
But, as many point out, an emer
gency is what the man at the top
makes it it could last indefinite
ly. Some say that, for this rea
son, Roosevelt will run for his
third term.
Congress must endorse these or
any other laws before they can go
into effect. It is doubtful if a
peacetime congress would consent
to abrogating democratic liberties.
But in the hysterical air of a real
emergency, congTess might be
stampeded into doing almost any
thing. And that has a great many
thoughtful people seriously wor
ried these days. They'll soon know.

Today's government is what you
might call ultra-involved. Even the
farmer is caught in its meshes.
I know a farmer near Blair who
has so many loans and affiliations
with the governnHiit that he has
to use a political pull to milk the
cows.
Some say that the way in which
our government ia run is provoca
tive to strikes. Well, I Jn't know.
Strike and the world strikes wilh
you. Woik and you work alone.
Of coiiise you can't nay Roose

having those WTA artists do their
murals in institutions for the blind.
United State's biggest concern
oer Hitler's reclaiming antics is
that they will give the Indians

cated if the reil boys should decide
that they would want the country
back.
