Kd. To the editor: In THE DAILY NEBRASKAN of Sept. 29 there appeared in the editorial column a letter concern ing Steele and Woerner, calling them communists and propagan dists. Altho I disagree with the writer of that letter, I am not go ing to defend Steele and Woemer, but criticize the letter and you for printing it The letter stated that Steele and Woerner were bragging about be ing communists. If such a state ment is true certainly there should be evidences of their braggartism in the articles which they write. The writer cited no instances. "It seems to be quite obvious" he wrote, disregarding any instruc tion he may have had in writing. Something does not SEEM to be, it either IS or IS NOT. From the writer's first sentence to the last he demonstrated lack of training in the most basic of English courses (he must have been a freshman) and worse yet, he could find no facts to help his otherwise imperfect letter along. Certainly the youthful writer should realize that if he wishes to oust Steele and Woerner he must produce a much more "meaty" letter than the one already published. I place the blame for this letter being published upon the eidtor; you should have realized its lack of substance and never have printed it. I am writing this letter because I want you to know that I didn't subscribe to the "Rag" to read an editorial column filled with letters like the one I men tioned, and I confidently say that about 6,998 other students will heartily agree with me. I hope I am not again disap pointed in a usually GOOD edi torial column. Donald E. Bower. P. S. Steele and Woerner are the best reporters on the staff. To The Editor: Last year, if 1,000 kids turned out for a football rally, why, that was marvellous. Last year, no one knew the yells, songs, or anything else about Nebraska's traditional festivities. This year, for the first rally of the year, only a short one at that, more than 3,000 came out, in the rain and wind, mind you, to hear Biff Jones, a game cap tain, to do a little cheering and wad'h a few bombs burst. Almost everyone of those 3.000 followed the bell and band to the station. It rained more, but the enthusiasm wasn't dampened. Maybe times have changed.

Let's examine it from the neutrals point of view. Can't you just visualize Hitler's giving his boys a pep talk. It might run something like this, "Go in and blast heil out of 'em boys!" All was quiet on the western front for 20 years but somebody forgot to hang out the "Don't Dis turb" sign. Hitler may have Germany under his thumb but think what he and his mustache could have done with the Fuller Brush company in this country. It used to lie "Germany for the , .oermans. Then Hitler rubberized the borders. Now he's trying to stretch a good thing too far. Well, Hitler added his bit to the European political stew. But it was pepper and too much of it too. Now he's caught in the draft of his own sneeze. Der Fuehrer says he wants peace. He's been getting it for the last years a piece of every damn country in central Europe. Football season reminds us of one pertinent fact. The Nazi sa lute is nothing more than an un adulterated stiff arm. maybe there's some school spirit in this new freshman class, ( which, by the way, really has some beauty queens in it) or maybe the undrgrads have revivified. I can't figure ut what it is. Some thing tells me that if 3.000 at tended a little rally, there ought to be 5,000 at the next one... or more. Anyway, I'll be there. A SENIOR. Patterson opens series of lectures on 'Life of Christ' in Union tomorrow Tomorrow noon in Parlor X of the Student Union.

(pid&sL Dear Editor: I think it is an excellent plan to poll the students in getting their reaction and their attitude toward the present war and all of its implications, as it may af fect our own country. But why confine it to students alone? Why not get a poll of the faculty whose judgement is more mature and whose experience is more exten sive on international relations? No doubt many students in their thinking reflect the views fre quently expressed by members of the faculty; consequently, it would be interesting to poll the faculty in order to see whether student and faculty think alike. Yours sincerely, Prof. R. D. Moritz. To the editor: That was a fine editorial you had in the Sunday Rag! Beauti- fication of the city campus is a cause worthy of some real effort. Only I doubt whether you can cover old U. hall with ivy. Have you ever looked for any result from the annual tvy planting bee? Why not, instead of ivy and holly hocks plant some trees among the weeds of the quadrangle? I won't give any hollyhock seed but will gladly contribute a tree. Maybe it would even be possible to get some top soil on the quadrangle, instead of the mixture of pieces of grass, cement, brick, etc. in which Russian thistle and relatives flourish. More power to you!! But don't leave it at words only. Get some thing done! Maybe students and professors would offer some of their time to help make the quad rangle look less like a desert. Some trees, some real soil, some grass and some flowers and you would not recognize the old dust bowl! W. Van Royen Former Museum. Over there Continued From rage 1.) that Russia and Italy will join him in a determined effort to force that proposal upon Britain and France. Is tlie gun that Hitler is hold ing at the allied temples loaded? Of course only Stalin and Musso lini hold the answer to that ques tion, but the opinion persists in many quarters that Mussolini knows how vulnerable Italy is and prefers to "sit this war out." And also that cagey Stalin has led Der Fuehrer on with only the vaguest of promises and when the crisis comes Hitler will find himself alone. Criterion of national self interest appears to support this view. Side-light is that youthful, ex uberant Italian foreign minister Ciano is much more enthusiastic about helping Hitler than his ag ing father-in-law, Mussolini. Brit ain is getting motors for her air planes and torpedo boats from Italy in exchange for coal and I Eld. Italy is showing no inclina I tion to break off trade relations I with the allies, and that might be j highly significant.

BARB MKMUKHSHIP Barbs are beginning a house-to-house campaign for memberships in the new barb organization. Cards sold during registration at $1 each brought In 475 to 500 members, and the total la ex measure that promises to be credit and carry instead. American peo ple are against remaking the pro posed amendment te the neutral ity bill into a "We'll furnish the credit then carry the bill forever" measure. Ninety days' extension of credit with no renewal is given belliger ent governments by the amend ment submitted to congress, and included is a second catch that would permit long term credit to be extended to individuals and companies within belligerent lands. Senator Johnson is irate for this measure would tend to cancell the no-credit act which bears his name. ' By the plan of England's new Ministry of Economic Warfare neutral countries are to be put on rations as they were during the last war. They will be permitted to buy enough for their own nor mal uses but no more, lest the surplus seep through to Ger many," declared Life magazine. This statement does well to re mind America that it is not im possible to put trade with Europe on a cash and carry basis selling belligerents only amounts that they bought during peace times. Such proposals have bt-en at tacked as impossible, but England has not only done likewise, but is even now doing it. That action would reduce America's economic interest in a victory by either side to a minimum and so help tre mendously in keeping American boys home. Experimenters with the use of plastic materials to make airplane bodies are reporting success which means that soon American mass production methods can be rolling out superb U. S. airplanes with the ease and speed of car manu facture. Those who are hoping that America will be able to withstand all efforts to drug her into the war, and that is the great ma jority of Americans, have much to cheer them.

It was one of Morgan's partners who said of the World war: "Sometif us in America realized that this was our war from the start." Band leaders have refused to play war songs and martial music has been reduced to a minimum on the radio. American business is issuing vigorous statements to show their hatred and fear of war. Some have even turned down juicy contracts of course sound busi ness principles are behind the lat ter, over-expanded plants, and confiscated government taxes are not aids to profits. Russia is demanding from Latvia concessions similar to those she got from Esthonia. She'll get them. Reports come that Germany's industrial machin ery is suffering under the strain of war reach America. Russia is cominunizing Poland where btfore great landlords held the peasants in what amounted to serfdom. Hungary and Rumania, where conditions aie very similar, are worried over such developments. Statistics show that in the World war Britain lost 40 port ent of her merchant marine and little Norway lost 50 percent of a con siderably larger fleet. Indeed Nor way lost more tonnage than th great British navy now boastV and yet she did not find need for the declaration of war. Hitler's rumored offer to abdi cate is a clever attempt to call the British on their declaration that to destroy the government by Hitler is their sole war aim.
