century and a half; wishes to dis
card tnis embargo program which
was made during a period of san
ity and impartiality.
Mr. Roosevelt might also have
added that the law of yesterday,
that is, the present law, forbids
the floating of belligerent credits
in this country, and forbids Amer
icans from traveling on belligerent
vessels, two more proposals that
the president made, as though he
were unaware of the existence of
any such provisions in the pres
ent law.
Neutrality act Impartial.
Neutrality is based on intent,
and the intent of the present law
is impartiality, and it is impar
tial in that we sell to no one.
Opponents of the embargo, how
ever, contend that it gives the
dry land aggressors the advan'
taee because they could not ob
tain commodities anyway. But this
law was made without any con
ception of who the belligerents
might be. The proposed measure
on the other hand is made with
complete knowledge that only one
side would benefit from the pro
visions. The proposed measure is
completely partial in that it pro
poses that we alter our existing
policy to fit into the particular
mechanism of one set of bellig
erents, that we fix our policy
knowing precisely what the effect
will be, in short that we go tne
help of one belligerent
New battles in offing.
And tonight in Europe, troops
are marching to the Western front,
and both sides are preparing for
a new major offensive, an often
sive pitting the might of French
organization and French man
power and French resources
against the skill and discipline and
resourcefulness of the Germans
German U-boats continue taking
their toll of British merchant
ships, the latest victim, the 4,000
ton Kensington Court sunk this
evening. Rumors are frequently
heard that a huee naval battle
occurred late last night off Jut
land, tho neither foreign office
would make any statements con-
cerning this. Residents for 70
miles along the shore of the Swed
ish district heard the rumblings
of the big guns, that rolled in and
out.
Rumania Endangered.
And toniglit, the Balkans are
shaking, after the news of the as
sasination of the Rumanian pre
mier by pro-nazi Rumanians.
Likewise, the approach of the
Russian tr.wps on the Rumanian
frontier causes anxiety in England
over the fate of the Bessarabian
oil wells. Russian troops were also
frightening the officials in the
three tiny Baltic states, with the
news that Vilna, formerly the
Lithuanian capital was taken by
the Soviet army.
But the big question Is America;
Germany awaits decision of Con
gress before making a final thrust
into Poland and carving a buffer
state, and the allies delay their
offensive till they know whether
help is on the way from America
or whether America Is staying out.
And Americans who will answer
that question sit back in the eve
ning chairs and smoke; thiy do
not question the sincerity of peo
ple who cry about morals in in
ternational law; they do not won
der about an "impartial" attitude
of fixing In time of emotion a
policy which will suit one of the
belligerents; they do not, os tho
Christian Science Monitor points
out, question the ability of any
one to eat their cake and have
it too. 1 J
For Roosevelt spoke today, and
America is sleeping tonight.

NYA grants
total $8,400
Executive estimates
about 600 in program
$8,400 has been allotted the Ne
braska university N. Y. A. stu
dents working on the ag and down
town campuses.
E. J. Boschult, head of the city
campus N. Y. A., estimates the
number of students employed un
der this program approaches 600.
That number runs approximately
the same as for the year 1938-1939.
He reports the average monthly
pay for each student to be $14,
with some wages as high as $20
and others as low as $10.
There are 40 students at the
Nebraska medical college who are
receiving the government help.
Openings for some of the graduate
students may materialize as soon
as their registration begins, Mr.
Boschult explained.
The dean of student affairs re
ports that last year 50 percent of
the university men were working
at least part of their way thru
college.
Westbrook . . .
(Continued from Page 1.)
7:15, he urged all bathroom bari
tones and kitchen contraltos to
have a try at it.
Expand music school.
Another tentative idea Mr.
Westbrook has in mind is to make
the music school a statewide or
ganization. Small town music
teachers and community musical
groups should be encouraged, he
says, to turn to the school of music
for leadership. The people of the
state, he insists, must feel that
the school is theirs. He hopes, by
some means as yet undetermined
to bring; the school's help into
every part of Nebraska where peo
pie like to sing.
He is also enthusiastic about
music festivals and thinks the
midwest ripe for experiments in
such community singing programs
although, he repeats, no definite
program has been outlined.
Modest and reluctant to talk of
his own achievements, Mr. West
brook nevertheless impresses one
as being "the kind that gets things
done." As director of a music
school in Illinois he caused th
county in which he worked to be
come known as the "singing coun
ty" because of the festivals pre
sented there. He also was one of
the finals judges in Chicago's lat
est city-wide music festival.
