TWO THE DAILY NEBRASKAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1938 diiohLaih Spooking Maybe in Spring . . . Major Biff Jones tackled the PWA for a 125 thousand dollar grant to build a new athletic service building and field house, but he was blocked out by the sad fact that federal funds for matching projects were dwindling into nothingness. Hopes were not too high that the building would be approved, but a lot was accomplished by Major Jones in Washington in laying the foundation for springtime consideration of the project, lie at least acquainted authorities with the situation and, we can be assured, left a fa vorable impression with the powers-that-be. The soundest argument in favor of this ath letic project is that the athletic department has money, cash money, to spend for its own de velopment. The department offers to put up 55 of the amount to be matched by a 45 grant of the federal government. Proceeds of the popular Nebraska athletic contests foot ball and basketball have contributed hand somely to the athletic department's till. The profit, the federal government willing, will be ploughed back into the department for the benefit of the university men engaged in athletics. But hopes have not died. This coming spring should find the expansion of building projects boomed as a business stimulus, both privately and nationally. It is unfortunate that the new service structure cannot be con structed immediately, but it is consoling to know that the athletic department will re ceive due consideration when the spring build ing program gets under way. , PALYI ADDRESS (Continued from Page 1.) they protected. Mercantilism was the imperial istic policy employed when colonies were gained and exploited by the mother country who took raw ma terials from colonies and sold man ufactured products made in mother country to colonists. Capitalistic impcralism was employed by Kng land when it spent a great deal of money in improving India to )n dia's benefit and England's greater benefit. Fascistic imperalism, the econo mist stated in a nutshell, is expan sion without capital. It is expan sion on the strength and promise but not actual fulfilment of capital. Buyer Must Pay. "It is not enough to have a buyer," Dr. Palyi pointed out graphically in spiaking of the re cent refusal of Bulgaria to enter into trade reciprocity with Ger many, 'but the buyer must be able to pay." Bulgaria refuse trade recipro city with Germany because it had no assurance that its wheat and tobacco would be balanced by German manufactured goods of good quality. "What assurance have we," the economist said, assuming Bul garian plurality, "that locomotives sold to us will not crumple like the airplanes that Germany sold to Italy did?" The fascist nations, Palyi re iterated, spend the greater part of their money on armaments and war materials whirh eat up capital and return nothing. Even when the military objective is gained, there is no capitalistic profit. Kor evi dence, he cited Italy's "triumph" over Ethiopia. Already Italy has lost $0,000.0(0 since the acquisi tion of Ethiopia. Further evidence is found in the fact that Austria's gold reserve has been completely exhausted by Germany since its annexation, and 120.000 workmen have been imported by Germany to produce crops in Germany and Austria. "There is no mere economic ex planation for the German's trans it 'in from the pleasant German to the now aj-.Tressive nazi," the lec ti;; ?r stated. "It is psychological end sociological.' Nazi-ism Natural Result. Following the World war. the oppressed Germans wat.ted an anti-something, raid Palyi, and na7.i-is:n fulfilled the need. Palyi declared that Germany and Italy were building up a philosophy that teaches the people to Idolize the state and its heads They are im itating the Japanese reverence for the emperor ami the empire. In order to get capital which tl cy need badly, the fascist na tions must eventually deal with the nations that have capital as well and more so thnn with coun tries that have only raw ma terials. Dr. Payll concluded his lecture with an expression of the hope that the fascist nations may be shown another way to regain their economic feet rather than by aggressive Imperialism.

All sorts of comments, mostly caustic in character, have greeted the request of the state normal board for appropriations more than double those for the present biennium. The one most frequently heard is that the board is rocking the boat, and while it may have used the time-honored formula of state departments of asking for more than is needed in the hope of getting what is needed, the large increase asked is likely to have what department heads re gard as a bad effect on legislators. The state university needs several important huild.ngs, and faculty mtmliers would like to have sala l ies restored.-Lincoln State Journal. Magazine Heads Speak To Frosh A.W.S.

Tax Massachusetts Board Exempts Student Help AMHERST, Mass. (ACP). A de cision of far reaching i mportance on the question of whether or not college students working in iratcr nity houses for their meals should pay social security taxes has been announced here by the Amherst college cooperative fraternity busi ness manager. He revealed that the Massachu setts state unemployment tax com mission has allowed exemption from the tax to students waiters and house officials, janitors and chefs. The fraternities, however, must continue to pay the federal old age insurance taxes, and those op erating dining rooms must pay a federal unemployment excise tax. The social security board has re ceived many protests on this tax, and the board has notified frater nities that it is considering rec ommending to congress the ex emption of all student employes of fraternities from these two taxes.
