Sir Frederick Phillips, Under-Secretary of the British Treasury,
stepped off the Lisbon clipper yesterday carrying a portfolio bulging
with the records of Britain's present financial condition. Officially an
nounced purpose was to place the information at the disposal of the
United States Treasury, and discuss potential loans.
The Under-secretary's presence symbolizes the current Amer
ican oonundrum: "Shall we supply dollars as well as planes to the
foes of Hitler?"
Official American attitude is prescribed by the Johnson Act for
bidding loans to countries in default of their obligations and Britain
owes a sizable war debt.
Opinions are sharply divided. Jesse Jones, R. F. C. administrator,
considers the British "a good risk." A recent Gallup pod showed a
slight majority (54) of the voters in favor of changing the Johnson
act to permit loans to the British.
On the other hand, men like Walter W. Chamblin, executive di
rector of the National Association of Manufacturers, says, no credit
to the English until they are broke
v From here, the issues seem to be: first, how much can the
English pay for? Second, How much is Britain worth to the United
States?
Since at the present rateThe British are spending more than
their annual national income for war, and their fluid credits are rap
idly waning, the second comes to the fore as the real issue!
Arguments advanced for giving the English financial aid are:
(1) Only the products of American industry can stave off English
defeat more products are needed for this than they can pay for

Faculty hears arguments
on validity of election
In an attempt to determine the
validity of the student elections of
Nov. 12, the committee on student
orgsnizations and social functions,
a sub-committee of the Senate
committee, will hear arguments
for both sides of the question at an
open hearing to be held this after
noon at 3 p. rr.. in parlors A, B.
and C of the Union. '
Dean Thompson said yesterday
evening that the Senate commit
tee would probably uphold the
Student Council's decision for
holding a new election, because,
he said, "it is our duty to uphold
the Council and its constitution un
less the Council's action is proved
wrong."
John Mason, Marvin Kruse. and
Burton Thiel will represent the
Student Council's view that a new
election- should be held, while
Blaine Sloan, Ray Murray, and
Bob Simmons will try to prove
the validity ot the original elec
tion. Originally the Council unani-
ni'iusly voted that a new election j
l held. Barb members on the t
council supported the movement
as planned, but Barb leaders out- j
si'ie the Council have protested to i

Ag extension work.
For agricultural extension work
the board of regents requests an
increase of $62,000 over the 1939
41 appropriation of $208,O00.The
extra funds will be needed, say
the regents, "to permit enlarge
ment of services to rural popula
tion in several parts of the state."
Conservation and survey re
quests remain the same, $56,000.
For operation and maintenance
of the hospital of the college of
medicine, in Omaha, $422,500, an
additional $34,700. is asked. The
board explained that these addi
tional funds will enable the hos
pital to care for many more pa
tients. The hospital is operated not
only as a teaching clinic for the
med college, but also as a char
itable institution supported by the
state. "Since the care of indigent
patients at public expense costs
the people of the state less per
patient in the hospital than when
care is provided elsewhere." said
the board, "it would seem poor
economy not to operate it at full
capacity."
Collins exhibits
new stargazing

Prof. O. C. Collins of the astron

a new stargazing invention of his
today at 2 p. m. and 7:30 p. m.
for the faculty and astronomy stu
dents. The apparatus, as yet unnamed,
is similar to a planetarium,
"although," said Collins, "it is
probably pretentious to say my
invention is like a planetarium
since the latter takes a whola
building in which to operate."
Dubbed "the poor man's plane
tarium," the instrument shows a
part of the sky on a screen in the
observatory, and may be fixed to
show the stars in different parts
of the sky.
