Relief in
Sight-Maybe.
4 T last some action on the long-delayed and long
needed aecond hand bookstore has been prom
ised. The Student council committee, after much
meandering and wandering around, Is getting under
way with a campaign to establish a student or uni
versity owned book market.
The need for some such arrangement has long
been apparent on the campus. Students have not
felt quite equal to the strain placed on their pocket
books when it came to the biannual orgy of text
book buying. There la no doubt that the prices
charged for texts have been excessive in propor
tion to the size of the average wallet.
Owners of the book stores have not been to
blame for this situation. They admittedly are in the
business to provide themselves with a living. In or
der to make that living they must allow themselves
a fair margin of profit, besides salaries to them
selves and their employees and other expenses of
overhead.
With a student owned and operated store, much
of this expense of the middleman can be eliminated.
There need be no margin allowed for above that
which is absolutely necessary to pay overhead and
small salaries to student helpers. Second hand
books can be bought at a fair price and resold at
a much smaller figure than that now charged for
second band books.
There is still enough time this spring to com
plete arrangements for the project. The whole
campus is clamoring for some such arrangement,
and has been for a long time. It is hoped that the
Student council committee will bestir Itself and get
the store set up and ready for operation with the
opening of school next f all.
Write Some
Letters.
j E ITERS protesting the location of this summers
naval maneuvers and the proposed increase in
army and navy appropriations are to be sent to
Nebraska's congressmen by members of the campus
peace action committee. This action, coming in the
midst of all the present war talk, is most timely.
Day by day European skies are growing darker
as war clouds begin to roll up. Hitler's declaration
that Germany is definitely going to rearm despite
treaty limitations merely brings out into the open
the fact that Europe is definitely heading toward
another conflict of the nations. Diplomatic conver
sations between the opposing forces seem to have
accomplished nothing. The armament race is on,
and grim death will be the winner.
The United States, however, need not invlove
itself In another European conflict unless it is
dragged in again by forces, greedy enough and
powerful enough to batter down all resistance to
offering up the nation's men and money on the altar
of Mars.
Nevertheless, United States is entering into the
spirit of things and joining the race to add more
munitions, as evidenced by the proposed larger ap
propriations for the army and navy. Those who do
not wish to see this nation under arms are not ask
ing that It tear down its national defenses, only that
it does not Involve itself In the competition to see
who can compile the largest fighting forces. A
large force can mean only aggression.
B
UT while all eyes are focused on Europe, the
Orient must not be forgotten. Japan also has
served notice that it wants to rank with the best of
them. While there does not seem to be much dan
ger of an attack from that source at the present
time, our action in holding our naval maneuvers al
most within Japanese waters constitutes a serious
threat to peact .
There can really be no object Ui displaying the
United States' naval power right under Japan's
nose, unless it is meant as a deliberate gesture of
defiance. Whether that is the purpose or not, it is
extremely dangerous to have our annual military
play day there. One false move might easily lead
to something serious.
rpHE effectiveness of the method being taken by
the campus peace group has been demonstrated
time and time again. The most recent example was
seen during the World Court debate In the Senate,
when the measure was defeated by the flood of tele
grams and letters sent to the solons. It is probably
safe to say that a large share of the people who
wrote did not have any Idea what they were doing.
They did it only because they had been told to do so.
Nevertheless, the World Court was defeated because
the senators' constituents told them to vote no.
This weapon is double edged and it can be used
effectively for good just as well as for bad. If con
gressmen are told strongly enough that their sup
porters at home want something or don't want
something, they will heed that voice. And if it is
impressed on them that these naval maneuvers and
larger military appropriations are undesirable, they
will take steps.
It is the duty of this peace action committee
and other such groups in thu state and all the rest
of the states to see that our senators and represent
atives are told about these things. In that way, the
United States will have taken a step toward stay
ing out of another great conflagration.
A Sermon on
Lost Articles.
COM EON E has made a mistake or gotten a bit
sticky fingered according to a complaint regis
tered this morning in the Student Pulse. The letter
is published mainly because It gives voice to many
students on the campus who have had various arti
cles disappear peculiarly.
An old racket practiced here has been the pick
ing up of books inadvertantly left behind by the
owner and selling them to the bookstores. Thru the
co-operation of the managers of the stores this prac
tice has been curbed to a great extent. But for some
unknown reason, textbooks, notebooks, fountain
pens, purses, and other articles of personal prop
erty still Insist on growing legs and walking off the
premises.
Students are surely old enough and know
enough to refrain from such practices. It is neither
"smart" nor clever. It is nothing less than common
thievery, and as such should be punished. If arti
cles are found they should be turned over to the
owner or to the proper authorities, not calmly appropriated.

We Hope It
Was a Mistake.
TJTTON'T you help me find my Golden Book. It was
" here and now it Is gone. Only thirty-five mi
nutes was It left alone in the Daily Nebraska office,
and somebody must have picked it up by mistake.
No one reads the Golden Book besides myself. I am
only a poor student journalist and my subscription
to the magazine took the place of several dozen
cokes, shows, swims, horse back rides, and bicycle
jaunts. I cannot afford to buy another copy of this
issue and it contained a number of articles which
r irartv a bit thin from repeated handling. It
was a wonderful magazine I may be a bit dotty,
but I do want my magazine back.
I am sure no one else would want it. My rooms
will never be the same the cover was a bright
orange, and as I have no money for flowers, It was
the only brightness. It has been the light in the
midst of dusty textbooks, old newspaper clippings,
and webby manuscripts. I would gladly exchange
it for several magazines with duller colors, if this
might be arranged.
If the individual who picked it up by mistake
will leave It on top of the desk In the Nebras
kan office, I will make no further inquiries, and he
will have my blessing. L. C.

A Better
Approach,
Among the month's more Inter
esting anecdotes Is the following
story concerning military training:
In 1916, when military training
was Instituted at Princeton, five
undergraduates, who held among
them almost every campus office,
wrote to the Prlncetonlan, student
publication, a letter protesting the
inclusion of military drill in the
college curriculum. Last week,
i they were again asked to express
their opinions on the subject
Surprisingly enough, these men,
all of whom had served In the
World War, were unanimous in
their condemnation of college mili
tary training. One stressed the
moral side of fighting while the
other two condemned it for spread
ing war propaganda, but all agreed
it was a waste of time "for two
important reasons: 1 That It
took too much time which should
be devoted to teaching student
ways in which they could help the
nation to avoid war, and (2) that
It was a poor way to train men
for military service, especially
store the military courses were
crowded with men who had no in
terest in the subject."
Opponents of military training,
fishing around for good reasons to
combat compulsory drill, would do
well to adopt these two reasons,
using them as a basis to oppose
drill as being Impractical. This
view would undoubtedly prove
more successful and popular than
the usual procedure of harping on
the moral issues.

The Return of
Lord Chesterfield.
The Honorable Hamilton Fish,
jr., of New York. Is an appealing
speaker and a man of the highest
sensibilities. In Whig hall Thurs
day night Mr. Elih customarily
announced himself a true Ameri
can with the usual emphasis on the
sterling qualities of this peerless
form of government of ours. But
In his oratorical fervor he went a
good deal further than that and
made some pronouncements that
were somewhat unexpected.
Apparently Mr. Fish has no
grudge at all against communists
as Euch, or even against the most
subversive of practices. He vehem
ently champions the cause of free
speech, welcomes governmental
criticism no matter how adverse
and. furthermore, he Informs the
socialists that the republican party
is on the watchout for any good
ideas they may turn up.
No, it is not by radical or com
munistic political philosophies or
by threats of violent reform that
Mr. Fish la disturbed. It is not bis
fear for the safety of the present
constitution which he says is cap
able of absorbing any necessary
changes in our system, that
arouses him. It Is his sense of hos
pitality that is injured. All that is
the generous host in him is of
fended, nay, revolted by the dis
courtesy and bad manners of for
eign communists who commit so
bad a breach of politeness as to air
their convictions In this country
where their position, as Mr. Fish
sees it, is that of an entertained
guest .
The offense of the unfortunate
Mr. John Strachey, then, is not his
communistic doctrines or affilia
tions, nor is it his propounding of
mem in pumic. n is auuyiy mo
breach of etiquette in raising his
voice against the government of a
country in which his position is
that of a guest, an act especially
reprehensible in coming from one
of that usually so well-bred race,
the English. Good American com
mnninm with ritlzenshin rjaoers is
all right. Mr. Fish entirely con
dones the advocacy or communism
for Americans and or Americans,
as long: as it is most definitely by
Americans.
This is a very encouraging
Hrn inrfoed. Liberals who
fear the advent of fascism thru
the unholy efforts of Mr. Fish may
thus rest in peace. Mr. Fish is only
out to protect our ngnis as nosis
and to see that we get what Is only
a just return for our hospitality.

Few College Men
In Jail.
Out of a group of 1,222 men re
ceived at the Colorado state prison
during the iast two years, only 18
of them were college graduates,
and only 304 had completed their
grade school course. This lact
was revealed by the warden's bi
ennial report to the state legisla
ture at a recent date.
Two significant points are
brought to light in the above state
ment, the first being that crimi
nals on the whole have not bad the
advantages of education, and that
college men are not particularly
attracted toward a life of crime.
Amidst the extensive ballyhoo
concerning the general worthless
ness of college and the academic
methods employed in teaching,
this strikes a happy chord. Even
a most conservative statement
would admit that education appar
ently shows the unwisdom of a
lawless life. Whether or not this
Is sufficient justification for going
to colleae is not the point. rme
Important matter is that this Is an
Indication that the college man,
condemned as he Is for his short
slghtedness, has enough vision to
see something that a good many
of the unschooled citizenry fail to
notice, that crime does not pay
This capacity to see ahead is
one of the chief values to be de
rived from a college life. If an ed
ucation contributes to the student's
ability to think clearly and devel
ops his shortsightedness In such a
way as to help insure his own best
advantage, it is worthwhile on that
score alone. Students would do
we"'i to pay more attention to the
development of this Independent
thinking.
