NEWS COMMENT
'After Hitler
then what?1

Europe enthusiastic
oyer senate repeal of
arms embargo act
by Woerner and Steele.
Twenty-five years ago French
and British soldiers marched off
to war to force a Hohenzollern
from the German throne and a
Hapsburg from the Austro-Hunga-rian;
today men of the same na
tions may find themselves dying
to place those families again in
power. Such a movement is now
reported under way in London,
Paris and Rome. The Allies are
justly worried by the question
"After Hitler What?"
Monday the house of represent
atives received the long contested
neutrality bill. The senate with
cheers of approval from London
and Paris had tossed out the ai ms
embargo and also had replaced
cash and carry provisions in the
act. Exceptions in the act such as
those that permits free shipment
of goods to 1.800 American branch
firms in Canada may prove dan
gerous. The house is expected to
put its stamp of approval on the
bill, called by many a "Help Eng
land" act, by Saturday.
The over-publicized City of Flint
is apparently on its way to Ger
many. According to international
law the ship is legally Germany's,
if the stop in Russia was to make
legitimate repairs. Treatment simi
lar to that received by the Flint
was accorded three American
ships by the British, but that news
haa been relegated to inner pages
by "neutral American papers,
Italy is giving more and more
indications of an attitude favorable
toward the Allies. Fascism, Mus
solini now declares, asks only the
privilege to build and go forward
Nazi bombers attacked the
blockading British fleet and at
tempted to raid the Isles, but were
repulsed. The British have de
cided that it is now necessary that
Englishmen be informed of the
"savagery" with which Germany
has treated German nationals in
the last year. Is savagery a new
and "high sounding" name for
atrocities?

Veteran doubts value
of chemical inventions
in next world struggle
War of today or war in the near
future will not be accompanied by
wholesale mass destruction due to
chemical discoveries or inventions
like the "death ray," was the opin
ion of Col. C. J. Frankforter, who
spoke at a meeting of Sigma Xi
honorary scientific society yester
day.
Wild rumors of new and horrible
methods of chemical warfare are
entirely false in the opinion of Col
onel Frankforter, who is now com
mander of the 356th Infantry regi
ment. He served in the World
war first as an infantry officer
and later in the chemical warfare
service.
Development in chemical war
fare has been gradual since 1918,
the colonel believes. Changes have
been made similar to the advance
ment of aviation and medicine, but
development was more noticable
during the 30 years preceding the
World war than afterwards.
The average person today has a
misconception of the proximity to
a chemical shell that will be de
structive. Frankforter said that
chemical warfare, altho effective
is not nearly as terrifying as th
authors of sensational stories
would have their fans believe.
Gas not decisive
There is no such device as
death ray. Several types of waves,
ultra violet and those from radio
active substances will destroy
some kinds of matter and could
possibly be fatal to humans if ex
posure was intensified. However
at present Colonel Frankforter be
lieves that there is no reason to
worry about any form of ray de
signed for mass murder.
In references to new gases, the
university chemist expressed an
opinion that not entirely new gases
have been developed since 1914
but that many types have been al
tered slightly for greater effec
tiveness. Mustard gas, used in the
World war with moderate success,
is still one of the most effective.
Altho gas may be used to advan
tage in modern warfare, without
other weapons it cannot win a
war, the colonel declared.
Chemical warfare must be under
control of the user, but other fac
tors, among them weather, impede
its effectiveness because they can
not be controlled.

Migrators comment chiefly
on hospitality at Kansas
Those attending the Kansas
game at Manhattan Saturday were
unanimous in their agreement that
Kansas people are hospitable, that
the campus is beautiful, and that
we've got the better football team.
Trip anecdotes were many and
varied.
Visitors were especially im
pressed by the size and grandeur
of Kansas fraternity and sorority
houses. One house was described
as "a block and a half long and
three stories high," with an inte
rior something like the Norman
die's. - Corn Cobs confessed they had
considered tearing down the Kan
sas goal posts. But one look made

Several prophets.
Jules Busker, sitting in the Ne

cats as they were preparing to
kick near the Kansas goal line.
"This," Busker said calmly, "is go
ing to be the play of the year."
Thereupon Rohrig ran 80 yards for
the game's most sensational touch
down. A friend wanted to change seats
as Norman Harris watched the
Huskers on the Kansas 9-yard
line. "Wait a minute," Harris said,
"till I watch this touchdown..."
