E Political Science Professor States Nationalism Is Strong Force. Dr. Harold Stoke told the Lions club at the chamber of commerce Thursday noon when speaking on "The World Economic Situation in the Light of the London Economic Conference," that "International conferences are little more than trading conventions and if several nations ' find that their interests coincide, that fact is recorded as international agreement and the conference is hailed as a success." Interests Must Coincide. He further pointed out that where no interests coincide there is little possibility that a confer ence will be successful. "The popu lar notion," he stated, "that an in ternational conference is a place where some nations make sacri fices and concessions in order to help other nations is badly in error." "Nationalism is the most power ful political force in the world,' Dr. Stoke declared, "and it dic tates economic as well as govern mental policies." 4- Rose Bulin and Orchestra to Play; Howard Pitzer Is Chairman.

WAA ANNOUNCES Professors Express Approval of CWS Project to Establish Relief Study Centers Thruout Nebraska High confidence in the success of the relief study centers to be stationed thruout the state by C. W. S. under the supervision of the University of Nebraska extension division, and hearty approval of the plan, were the opinions ex pressed by Dr. F. E. Henzlik. dean of teachers' college; R. D. Moritz, also of Teachers college, and Dr. W. H. Morton, principal of teach ers college high school when ques tioned yesterday. The prospect of obtaining bene ficial results from the project ap peared bright to all three. Plan Appears Sound. 'To me, the CWS projects pro viding for study centers seems quite sound, not alone because it provides employment for many un employed adults but because it provides equal educational oppor tunities for hundreds of boys and girls and young men and young womfa that would otherwise be deprived of education, declared Dean Henzlik. Mr. Moritz was equally confi dent of the scheme. "It has passed the experimental stage," he said. "Similar plans of study have been carried out, altho not with federal aid. We know what can be done with maximum efficiency and minimum cost. There is no doubt about the practicability of the scheme. Dr. Morton, in expressing his endorsement, &1 sounded ft note SELECT STUDENTS 0 ENTER RHODES 6 Harry West and Wentworth Fling to Appear Before District Board.

Organized Agriculture meetings on Ag college campus ended Thurs day afternoon with a discussion of the government's present farm pro gram by B. H. Hibbard, Univer sity of Wisconsin, which sent sev eral hundred Nebraska farm peo ple home chuckling and in good spirits. Grace Frysinger, U. S. D. A. ex tension worker, preceded Hibbard on the closing program Thursday, discussing "The Farm Family Looks Forward." The morning was devoted to business meetings of the livestock producers, dairymen, and other special groups. Two things, Hibbard pointed out, must be assumed in any attempt to predict the probable outcome of the present governmental policy of crop reduction and control: (1) We will continue under the regime of private property, (2) we will re tain our present form of govern ment States Present Policy. The present policy, Hibbard said, is to make "America self-contained." We propose to stay at home and get along with what we have. That means cutting, down produc tion, because if we don't buy from other countries they cannot buy from us. To cut production in the steel Industry, for example, he said, is an easy matter. The owners can fire part of the help. But the (Continued on Page 4.) of caution. "It is a very fine move ment," he said. "Similar plana show that a very good response thru the state can be expected. There is no reason why college and high school credits should not be given for the work done if the standards are not lowered. They wouldn't have to be lowered but the danger is that they may be. Level of work must be watched." A prophetic element in the movement was also discerned by Doctor Morton. T think that this is indicative of a like, permanent, project in the future and of an ex panded education program. This is recognition on the part of the fed eral government that education is a method of employing people gainfully, of giving them oppor tunities for developm nt of the in tellect, of providing them with a use for their increasing leisure time, and of educating them for other profitable uses of leisure time. This is just the beginning. I believe it will eventuate into permanent plan of this type." Age Limit Rises. Mr. Morton also pointed out that since the age limit for the employment of young people la steadily rising, some such plan is very advisable to take care of the period from graduation from high school to the time of employment. Society can't exist with its youth Idle between the ages of 18 to 21 - .(Continued on Page i.) ..- CONTEST AN HIBBARD SPEAKS ION ARIRS
