F That dictators of Germany, Japan and Italy today are in the position of trapped American gangsters-thcy have 1o shoot their vav out. seems typical of the foreign situation at first glance. The further assertion of Jo hannes Steel, foreign editor of the Nework Evening Post, that -world war is inevitable within 12 to 18 months, seems, after more ra tional consideration, a somewhat hasty and un necessary remark. Agreement wilh Mr. fcjteel mav be 'found however in his assertion that Hit'ler and Mussolini are in the "bad" and ,,, ir, "stnirp iricks" to divert the mum ic.wii , i minds of the people and put down restlessness. But before jumping to the conclusion that 4v... mniic P.virnnp will be a raging in-1 111 O XI' W 111, Mill. .J - ferno it would be well to consider several points. Now while it is granted that as Mr. Steel says, Hitler and Mussolini must find an outlet for their nationalistic spirit, it is ex tremely doubtful if the achievement of any other purpose than just that is their aim. These men must necessarily divert the minds of their people to other troubles outside their immedi ate economic peril, but at the same time it is quite as necessary that action taken by them be duly regardful of the dangers involved in making more than a mere demonstration of "national pride." Notice of this might be had in Hitler's ac tion concerning the scrapping of the Versailles treaty and more recently in the moving of troop's into the demilitarized Rhineland. While he was doing 1 his he approached Europe si multaneously with an "olive branch" in his hand proposing a twenty-five year nonaggres sion proposal. Now while he may not live up to the total life of this proposal, yet it shows that for the present, war for Germany is out of the question. His function is two-fold. First he has to save his face before his people by making them adhere to the belief that the movement is significant of Germany's place in the world as a first class power. Second, be has the problem of, at the same time, maintain ing peace with the outer world despite his seemingly overtures for war. In entering the Khineland, Hitler and the German people'feel that they a'e entering their home territory. It is composed almost entirely of Germans. The people of the Khineland wel come his arrival. They rejoice that once more they may seem more as a nation 1han as a small group insignificant in their own right.

A long war by either Germany or Italy would be disas trous, not only 1o the counlries but to the dic tators themselves.

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN WEDNESDAY. MARCH 11, 1936. nnestion then arises will the United States be able to remain out of any such war? Any entrance by the United States will probably be for 1hc protection of capitalistic interests there. Thusly our government is ap parently willing to sacrifice the lives of Ameri can youth for the protection of American dol lars in Europe. Common logic should blast any idea that the life of a young man can be pur chased by money Military training developes a militaristic spirit it represents a brutalizing force that of domination over the weaker. To please a few of the congressional leaders, the regents of this university force upon us, the student body, compulsory R. 0. T. C. training. It rep resents the preparation of the American gov ernment for another world war and appar ently for the satisfaction of the capitalistic in terests which control the governmental func tions. Todav all machinery for "armament con trol" has collapsed: the United States is spend ing more money for preparedness than at tfny other period in its peace-time history. This irlp tpiidenrv foreshadows the iminent transformation of the American university into a link of the war machine. , The university student has become a cog in this war preparedness game. It is up to the student to rebel wholeheartedly against such measures. Let William R. Hearst talk about the ri diculous "red invasion" he is certainly a glorified example of a capitalistic shyster hunt ing for copy in his own newspapers. Youth is not interested in making dollars for American investors but rather in finding security for themselves. Let this rush for pre paredness be stopped. The use of compulsory R. 0. T. C. training for preparedness should be stopped why not turn this money into a more practical purpose? Let these giant expendi tures be put to use in further work relief for students. Our present day relief plan is help ful but far from sufficient for the student needs. Civilization can certainly be advanced at a more rapid pace by education than by war.

What would have hap pened had the plane been shot down by an ex citable Frenchman, or the German pilot him self had refused to retire? The answer was given in 19.14. Just such an episode precipitated a World war when the crown prince of Austria and his wife were shot and killed by a Serbian student. From that spark. 20 million men were drawn into battle, in which millions were killed or permanently incapacitated for useful life. The great heartache of Versailles and of Locarno is that ihey perpetuated an intolerable situation. In 1 870. (iermany took Alsace and Lorraine from France after a brief, but victo rious war. At Versailles. France riot only was insistent upon the return of the lost provinces, but the diabolical hatred which an old inan, Clemenceau, had nursed in Ins breasi lor lonj eight years was permitted to establish a condi tion in Europe which sooner or laler will force a resmption of hositilties. Clemenceau was a young mail when Paris fell to Hisinarck's armies., lie was an old man when the war ended in 1918. and any capacity that he might have had for public service, to serve France, to serve the allies, to serve justice and peace, had been consumed in a bate that consumed him. The incredible thing is that Lloyd George, a liberal, professing to possess ideals of peace, joined hands with Clemenceau; and proceeded immediately to grab for Britain what he could while throwing his support to French demands. True. Lloyd George could say the British pub lic was demanding its pound of flesh, lie could defend his position by pointing out no British statesman dared return 1o London in face the cry of the populace. The more time runs, ihe more it is demonstrated that the most unfor tunate thing which could have happened when statesmen gathered around ihe peace table at Versailles was that in their midst was an old Frenchman who had taken an eternal vow to revenge himself and his country, who was cm biltcred and cankered to such an extent that he could think only of that minute and that hour of triumph and its sweetness in enabling them 1o carry out one grand passion for which he lived. His decree was an iron ring around Ger many, a decree which contained neither eco noniic foundation nor sound sense. The e il of Versailles consists not only in the punitive spirit which characterized the deiinerat ions. but in the indit lerenee and contempt lor sounu economics. ot only I iermany. inn me uei inan allv, Austria Hungary, suffered in this respect.

Few individuals in their individ ual relationships can be so silly as nations fre quently are. The much discussed corridor which Clemenceau created may have been a barrier insuring no future threat in France's mind, but it is difficult to see how they could ienore their own feeling of wrong after the war of 1870. Ope of the requirements of a peaceful Eu rope rests upnn the ecsnemic stability of the central powers. Their collapse was threatened some years after Versailles, and still nothing was done. And now, Europe is an armed camp, sizzling with war excitement, and war fever. It will come presently, if not in the immediate fu ture.

Will Not Tangible Object; Action Without Memory Tells Precautions Needed in Construction of Bridges. Mr. J. G. Mason, state highway department bridge engineer, will explain how bridges and highways are destroyed by floods and what precautions must be taken In their construction in his talk before the American Society of Civil Engi neers, at a meeting Wednesday night at 6 o'clock in the Grand hotel. "Republican River Flood" is the name of his topic. Reconstruction of bridges and highways that were destroyed by last year's floods in the Republican valley is still going on. Mr. Mason will present charts and diagrams showing the slopes, widths and depths of the river in his explana tion of what special reconstruction is needed. The worst of the floods in the valley occurred the last day of May and the first day of June, caused by conjunction of a high and a low pressure area. Money is now being sought from the govern ment for additional precautions in case of a repetition of the floods. Mr. Mason is a member of the national branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers and an engineer graduate of the univer sity. The student chapter will discuss plans for engineers' week and will organize its committees for work on decoration and advertising.

This ia Every student at some time has wished for a little more "will power" to keep him home study ing when a show or picnic is sug gested, says the Oregon Barom eter. What is this desired magic which would make true students of us all ? Will is not a tangible object, but a way of acting. Many times we have wished for something or wanted something, and bodily ac tivity has arisen out of auch wish ing or desiring. That is, we will a thing to be done, as a prelude to doing it "The underlying reality of the universe is the will, primodially a blind restless striving which in the course of ages has 'objectified' it self in forms of higher and higher organization in the phenomenal world, attaining to self-consciousness in its highest form, Man," Schoperiiauer, philosopher, said. The physical movements which are a result of the will are logical ly voluntary or controlled move ment. Therefore it is obvious that nothing can be willed without pre vious experience of that which is willed. Of course, the first time an act is performed it can be dons in stinctively, but having once done it and remembered it, we can volun tarily do it a second time as a re sult of will. Without memory, then, our will would be of no use to us. But what causes us to choose one course of action in preference to others? How can one idea be made dominant and the opposing forces be thrust from the mind? The answer is in the tendency of the mind to organize. Things of personal interest occupy the focus of consciousness and cause the actions associated with them. To be interested in a thing, of course, it is necessary to have it linked up with previous experience or objects. Then to accomplish what we are capable of accom plishing a definite purpose should be set and the goal should be ap pealing. The mind should be focussed on the result. Thus if a flower petal should fall from a bouquet upon a book being read the reader would raise his hand and brush off the petal without once losing the thought of the story. The mind was on the result of removing the petal from the book, not the raising of the hand and its movements. OFFICIAL BULLETIN Archery Club.
