Fcllman warns we
must insulate our
emotions from war
"We must guard our emotions,
traditional feelings and prejudices,
we must resist the blandishments
of propaganda,, we must insulate
ourselves against the excitement
of war." In these words David
Fellman, instructor in political sci
ence addressed Junior Chamber of
Commerce members at a luncheon
Thursday.
Fellman pointed out that the
foreign policy of the United States
should not favor any side in any
foreign war In which our interests
are not directly involved. The neu
trality law of 1939, he continued,
was designed to keep us out of war
by avoiding the causes which al
legedly led us into the World war.
New law Is good.
This new law, as far as it goes,
is good, but "its fatal weaknes is
that it might give rise to the im
pression that it covers all the fun
damental factors which led us into
the last war. It does not and can
not possibly do so."
That we must watch the activi
ties of the president was a further
view expiessed by Fellman. He
said, "It is in his (the president's)
power to create a war situation. A
war situation is a product of a se
ries of executive devisions, taken
from time to time and having a
cumulative effect."

the administration of the annual
event. The organization was called
the University week association.
Following the successful publi

Awgwan by a staff of women edi

A strong basketball team from
Nebraska Wesleyan defeated the
University team in the Armory by
a score of 39-15. One of the larg
est crowds of the season about
700 attended the game.

students to a proposed proposal to
