AUF SOLICITORS ARE POPULAR Wearing "Sacrifice for AUF" and not "Eat at Joe's," Mendel Archard draws an admiring group of AUIT supporters. The girls, from left to right, Jo Zolot, Betty Green, Pat Bussey and Doris Heller, show lots of interest in the annual campus charity drive now in progress. Archard, with a number of associates, will be seen on campus throughout AUF Week, Nov. 7-14, soliciting funds for the All University Fund. He is chairman of all independent student solicitations. Ex-Laborite Declares British Socialist Experiment a Failure "By every reasonable test our socialist experiment is a com plete failure," delarcd Alfred Edwards, Labor member of par liament since 1935, before a con vocation in the Union ballroom Tuesday morning. Pointing to the increased in dustrial strife and the losses sus tained by nationalized indus tries, Edwards said the socialist government in England is being sustained "by receiving money from private industry in the United States to destroy private industry in England." Results of Socialism Edwards briefly discussed the results of socialism in every in dustry it has been applied to. He said that despite better working conditions and a 50 increase workers were mining less coal than ever before, thus showing poor results in profit and loss considerations. "Nobody is really happy about it," Edwards re marked. The railroads require more men to run them and are losing money. The place of private owners has been taken by labor leaders, who now draw 5,000 pounds yearly instead of 1,000 previously. Edwards was less NUCWA to Hold Mass Meeting NUCWA will hold its second mass meeting for all members Thursday at 7 p. m. in Room 108 Burnett hall. Sara Fulton, the program chair man, has announced that the theme of the meeting will center around World Government and that three speakers will present different aspects of the situation. Paul Henreid will discuss "World Government Immediate ly," Ruth Sorenson, "World Gov ernment in the Future" and Jim Tomasak will present "World Government Never." Reports will be given to the members by the committee heads, and there will be a business meet ing. All NUCWA members are urged to attend if at all possible. opposed to the medical program. Nevertheless, he pointed out that the voluntary system for work in hospitals, which England excelled in before the war, has been re placed by bureaucrats. A recent change requires the people to give some payment for medical services. "Peace on Earth" Speaking of relations between the United States and England, he said, "If we can understand one another it will be possible to declare peace on earth... and no combination of powers could ever go to war again." The much disputed question of the pre-war British debt fame in for considerable attention from Edwards. He said that England wanted to pay this country in goods, but the Smoot-IIawley tariff was the U. S, answer. An offer of sterling was rejected on the grounds that U. S. officials wanted dollars, which England couldn't get without free trade. Payment in gold was imposs ible because there was not enough gold outside the United States at that time to meet a six million dollar obligation. Edwards, in one of his lighter moments, re marked that England "had thou sands of meh digging" gold in South Africa so that the U. S.

It has nothing to do with cross word puzzles! It is simply "a date to re member," said Bill Dugan today concerning Nov. 10, this Thurs day. Since Tuesday, the campus has been blanketed with signs warn ing all students, "The tenth of November a date to remember." They appeared somewhat mys teriously in the midst of the cur rent All-University Fund drive. Dugan cautiously told The Daily Nebraskan that he would tell all he knew about Nov. 10 in tomorrow's Rag. He remmded students to keep the day open from 2-5 in the afternoon.
