"European morale wi break first ... in Germany" The morale break in Europe will first occur in Germany, and within six months, predicted Dr. J. M Reinhardt yesterday in the third of the series of war forums. Stress ing repeatedly the fact that he was giving only his opinion based on facts and data, Dr. Reinhardt reviewed the economic resources and strategic position of the va rious countries. Russia, supposedly Germany's ally, for which Germany gave up Italy, is in reality slowly encircling Germany to the east, according to Professor Reinhardt. In the first place, Russia is sending supplies to Germany only if Germany pays cash or sends finished goods, back to Russia. Germany has means only to finance the first year of the war, and will not be able to send finished goods while supply ing a costly fighting army and recouping its machine losses. Again, Russia has never been a chief source of German Imports even in peace. In 1932, the peak year, Russian exports to Ger mans were only six percent of to tal German imports. Pacts end German hopes. Recently announced protection See FORUM, Page 4. INQUIRING REPORTER Uninhabited island, (sigh) ideal mate, (sigh) Paradise by Paul Svoboda.

The forecast for today Is partly cloudy and colder. It seems that It Is about time for the leaves to Uke their autumn colors, Friday, October 13, 1939 Group will work under Dean Stoke Five faculty members appointed to file papers for future historians The graduate college, under Dean Harold W. Stoke, has es tablished a committee to collect printed material relating to the present European war. The com mittee will attempt to preserve and file current war papers for use of future historians. Five faculty members compose the committee: Professor Deming of the chemistry department. Prof. E. A. Gilmore, economics; Prof. N. L. Hill, political science; Prof. J. M. Reinhardt, sociology, and Prof R A. Winnacker, history. To prevent confusion. In an effort to prevent the con fusion that makes it hard for his torians to trace causes and effects of the first World war, the com mittee will collect propaganda, letters from abroad, records de scribing the effect of the war upon political groups, and speeches. Of especial interest to the committee will be the effect war fervor has on national thought. All matrial will be filed and indexed. Historians investigating the last war found that much original material had disappeared. Records which might give a clue to changes produced by war in the lives of people have largely been destroyed. The committee rrfay possibly expand into a center of study for the war, similar to the Hoover World War Library at Stanford, YWdriye opens with 70 at dinner A dinner for 70 workers of tha Y.W.C.A. who today begin a mem bership drive was given last night at the Ellen Smith HalL Mary Jo Henn, head of the drive, gave in structions and Margaret Krause gave a pep talk.
