Isolation for the United States is
Prince avers
neutrality
is immoral
Denounces 'Let Europe
stew in its own juice'
policy of Americans
Isolation and indifference are
impossible, averred Prince Huber
tus zu Loewenstein in expressing
a European's view of the "Role of
the United States" in convocation
yesterday morning.
"The U. S. is not in any sense
independent; to establish complete
isolation you'd have to abolish the
moral code of Christianity," said
Loewenstein. He took a quotation
from Nicholas Murray Butler that
"neutrality would be immorality,"
as a lead for his own declaration
that "the most highly immoral
words I have heard in America re
cently are 'Let Europe stew in its
own juice. The blood of European
men is that of all men. Such state
ments lead to our own moral sui
cide." To set example.
The prince maintaining that the
United States cannot stand aside
and "wait and see" what happens.
"Your country is the most power
ful nation, and your action or fail
ure to act will be felt in every cor
ner of the earth. You have to set

CHANCELLOR C. 8. BOUCHER.
... addresses teachers
to leachors of the state in an
address yesterday to the annual
meeting of district one of the state
teachers association in Lincoln.
The character and organization
of the publicly supported educa
tional program and the cost of this
program were the two phases.
Chancellor Boucher said that
charges in economic, social and
political ways of life demand
appropriate changes in formal
education. "In the face of depres
sion and unfavorable crop raising
conditions, cost has become a
major consideration. The prob
lem becomes how to readjust our
educational program so as to meet
the needs of future citizens at the
lowest necessary cost," he said.
The question raised by the plan
ning board report is not one of
arbitrary chr.nge, he stressed, but

convention
ends today
District 1 instructors
hear Dr. Haake open
sessions in coliseum
Teachers of district No. 1 as
sembled in Lincoln yesterday for
the annual Nebraska State Teach
ers association convention which
ends today.
The convention began with a
general session in the University
Coliseum. Dr. Alfred P. Haake of
Chicago told the teachers that the
solution of this country's eco
nomic problems is increased pro
duction. Dr. Haake, former chair
man of the Rutgers university de
partment of economics was dis
cussing "Has Our American Eco
nomic System Failed?"
Chancellor C. S. Boucher
warned the teachers that the state
legislature should "hew to the
line" in accepting recommenda
of the Nebraska educational sur
vey made by the state planning
board.
Dr. Haake drew the conclusion
that "the answer Is not to destroy
the present system but to make it
work better. We will be wise to
retain our system of democracy
and competitive enterprise. After
all, no one saya, Let a throw out
Christianity' because it has failed
to solve all the world's problems."
He closed his talk with an ap
peal to his teacher audience not
to believe that business is lead
ing the United States into war.

"Leading English diplomats do
not expect that America will send
armies to Europe," asserted Prince
Hubertus zu Loewenstein, speak
ing yesterday before a Union for
um. The speaker, who was in Paris
when war was declared, added
that, in his personal opinion, Great
Britain and France have enough
power to defeat German forces.
The Carnegie professor also voiced
the belief that next March Hitler
would become uneasy about his
long Polish frontier held in com
mon with Russia.
The prince was stranded In
Paris, when the war broke out,
having missed two boats upon
which he had secured tickets. Upon
the declaration of the war he was
drafted by the Czechoslovakian
authorities, because legally he is
a citizen of Chechoslovakia. How

draft by the Czech minister in

On the marital scoreboard
Domesticity, 6; No Fami ly, 2
By Paul Svoboda.
Either consciously or subcon
sciously a man when he feels that
he has found an Ideal mate notes
the traits of the woman which
agree with his type of personal
ity. Love Is not an Invisible hand
that guides two people to the
altar. It is a satisfactory reaction
mutual to each of the Individuals
concerning the personality, habits,
traits, and desires of the other.
When men begin to cast a mari
tal glance over the eligible fe
males they have a predominant
trait in mind that the woman
must possess. If she is blessed
with this quality and if he agrees
with her desires of a man, wed
ding bells are soon to sound.
What qualities must the woman
whom you hope to marry
possess?
