YOU NAME IT
After a cursory examination of a plan ad
vocating an international democracy of 15 na
tions as a nucleus for a World Federal Union,
one is inclined to doubt tlie practicality of such
an idea.
Designed to "prevent Avar, end depres
sions, and save our liberties," the plan is being
propagandized, thru leaflets, pamphlets and
books written by the leaders of the movement,
all of which may be purchased. There is no
membership fee, but supporters of the ideal in
ternational setup are to "contribute according
to the individual's ability and inclination,"
whh the contributors who give the most receiv
ing books and articles scaled in respective cash
value.
With two legislative houses, the govern
mental plan is modeled after the government of
the United States, with a premier, the leader of
the majority party, (yes, the promoters see a
party system before the machinery of their
system is propagandized fully), a senate in
which the nations are represented equally and
a lower house comprised 01 J77 members.
Of the 277 members, would be from
the United States. The United Kingdom with
4(5, and France with 42 congressmen, would be
well satisfied with such an arrangement, we
think. . . .not.
No definition of democracy, no proof that
the small countries would be satisfied with the
larger countries having more senators, (that's
in the plan too), nothing to indicate that eco
nomic laws would not hold sway in the new
world government. .. .nothing tangible at all
....these are a few characteristics of "world
democracy."
JRemeniber, this is cursory examination.
Reams, tons, of printed mailer will be circu
lated here and abroad promoting the plan.
"After," says the pamphlet beside this
typewriter, "the (lallup polls. .. .show a ma
jority of Americans favor this idea, congress
will pass a resolution authorizing a call to the
other countries for a constitutional convention
....there is no doubt that other nations will
respond and send delegates."
".... United States, Great Britain and
France will be enough to get the union started.
And after the union is started it will be
"ready to prevent war, establish prosperity,
ami maintain our liberties. . . .just as the Amer
ican union was established 150 years ago."
Has the American union failed? Does the
United Kingdom like the idea of a written con
stitution? The idea is an insult to American intelli
gence. It is like an ice cream cone, with no
ice cream in it.
NO INTEREST DUE
During the past week four books have
been taken from the Student Union book nook.
Union officials wish to notify summer
school students that any material placed at the
disposal of students in the reading room must
remain there when students leave the room.
Altho there is a notice in heavy black
type on the door of the book nook requesting
students to check all books ami coats at the
check stand before entering the reading room,
some students do not observe the rules.
The books lining the shelves of the book
nook are donated to the union or purchased, by
the union for the use of every student.
More stringent rules, perhaps checking the
users of the room when they leave, are things
the union docs not and should not want to en
force. The honesty of students using the room
is never questioned. When books are "bor
rowed" all the union asks is that they be re
turned. No questions ars asked.

one ot the editors of MacMillar.
Company of Canada, publishers
of the book, the Canadian author
says. "I think the habitant stories
by Professor LeRossignol are far
truer to French Canadian life than
Louis Hemon's Maria Chapde

dered by most authorities to be
the classic book dealing with the
life of early French Canada.
