Professors of History and Political
Science Doubt War Possibilities as
Result of Alexander Assassination
No great alarm over possibilities of either internal or inter
national disturbances as the result of tho assassination of King
Alexander and Louis Barthou, foreign minister of France, was
shown by members of tho political science and history depart
ments who could be reached for statements Wednesday.
"I don t see why France ahouido-
be held responsible in the late as
sassination of King Alexander as
Barthou, France's foreign minister
was also killed," declared Profes
sor Hill of the political science de
partment. "With the facts we have
on hand there doesn't seera to be
any Immediate danger of war. It
Is difficult to speak definitely, how
ever, since vital facts In connec
tion with the tragedy may not be
generally known,"
Hill Believes Franot Absolved.
Professor Hill felt also that the
fact that the assassin was a Jugo
slavian Serb would tend to ab
solve France from any blame In
connection with the affair.
"The assassination of King Alex
ander Indicates the Inevitable con
sequences of a dictatorship," stated
Professor 1 Felman of the political
science department. "Where you
deny the right of criticism, the
ruler must be removed by bullets
Instead of ballots."
Going further into the matter of
the assassination Fellman asserted
that the prevention of any oppor'
tunity for normal expression can
result only in the adoption of ab
normal methods. A regime based
on violence must assume the possi
bility of violent opposition.
Expects No Serious Disorder.
In regard to the possibilities of
a subsequent war, Professor Fell
man declared, "The country of
Jugoslavia Is a combination of
Serbs and Croations. Alexander, a
full blooded Serb, ruled accord
ingly and maintained a govern
ment filled mainly with Serbians.
The Croatians felt some resent
ment over their lack of eminence
In political matters. The national
army, however, is a splendid one,
and I doubt whether there will be
any serious Internal disorders."
Professor Cochran of the history
department reported dryly that It
would be necessary for him to be
at the scene of the tragedy in
order to venture an opinion of the
probable result. "I do not, how
ever, look for any serious result,"
he stated.

As anthropologist of the Raw-
