Defense Committee
Making Progress
The Union-Daily Nebraskan .sponsored national
-defense room will open Monday when members ot
the Lincoln British War Relief society dispense
needles and yarn for knitting for the British. The
room will be decorated with the huge university
service flag. The first monthly news letter to for
mer university students now in military service is
being prepared and will be sent out during the third
week of October.
Students who expressed a desire to help with
the projects were placed on the national defense
committee appointed by the Union activities board
this week and other interested students are urged
to help this committee. A large number of names
of former UN students now in the service have al
ready been turned' in and more will be welcomed.
The sponsors of this national defense work are
encouraged by the enthusiasm already shown by
the students and hope many more will turn out to
help what the committee believes to be a humani
tarian movement.
DEAR EDITOR:
I have not always agreed with Mr. Thompson a
column in the past. But Sunday he pointed out the
ever-widening gulf between most isolationists and
the America First Committee. I wish to thank Mr.
Thompson for that.
Like most of the non-interventionists 1 know, 1
am against our proposed entry into this war be
cause any war is irreconcilable with my principles.
Were the non-AFC isolationists to prepare a
statement of the considerations back of their stand,
the statement would read something like this:
1. We cannot reconcile our belief in the sancti
ty of human life to the idea of war.
2. We realize the inefficacy of war as an in
strument of social betterment.
3. We sincerely believe that participation in a
war would be now, as it has been in the past,
tragically disastrous for the people of thisnation.
Believinq thus, we have no course alternative
to opposing the employment of war as an instru
ment of foreign policy by our government.
Most non-interventionists agree in the main with
the stated aims of the AFC, but differ violently
with their methods. I witnessed the "strong-arm
tactics" at the meeting last week of the campus
supporters of the AFC in fact, I was among the
strong-armed. That meeting was extremely well
handled, from a power-politics point of view. That
is, Mr. Luckey Paul knew the precise psychological
moment to interrupt an embarrassing question with
his own biased interpretation of that question; he
recognized the right moment to pour Miss Axford's
obvious sincerity on the troubled waters, (Mr.
Luckey Paul relied on the audience's chivalry to
keep Miss Axford safe from interruption, but the
idea of like chivalry from the speaker's table ap
parently never entered his head.) He seized the
correct moment to close a turbulent and already
ver-time meeting. Mr. Luckey Paul was in rare
form all evening he could twist the tall of any
question and make it squeal "Principal Four.';
Behind the News
By David Thompson
Panama's refusal to allow the arming of mer
chant vessels flying the Panamanian flag makes
doubly sure that the administration will push the
repeal or amendment of the neutrality act of 1939
so that U. S. ships will be allowed to arm against
attack by Axis raiders in any of the seven seas. It
will also mean that once the act Is so changed that
those American ships which have been transferred
to Panamanian registry will be returned to our
own merchant marine. Obviously they would be
more effective under our registry and armed than
they would be under Panamanian license and armed.
It may also result in an administration move
to change other portions of the act which prohibit
our merchant ships travelling to belligerent ports
and into designated combat zones. This will provoke
a good deal of opposition in Congress without a
doubt, and if it is passed it will not be just because
one man decides that it should be.
Hopes that Finland would withdraw from the
Hussion campaign when she got back all the terri
tory lost to Russia in 1940 were dashed today when
Finland refused to heed British and Norwegian
warnings that she to so and said that she would
not be satisfied with mere restitution of her lost
territories, but wanted certain other areas beyond
the old frontier which are' allegedly "primarily Fin
nish." This is highly reminiscent ot the German
claims made upon Czechoslovakia and Poland prior
to their fall, and indicate the extent to which the
Finns have fallen under the influence of Germany's
"outlaw nationalism."
The reaction of the house of representatives
to an amendment which would withhold any aid to
the soviet union under a bill expanding the author
ity of the Reconstruction Finance corporation to
lend should be noted by those factions that uphold
the abilities and powers of Congress as to be fol
lowed. The house voted down that amendment 69
to 25 and gave an excellent indication of how our
national legislature backs the administrations "aid
to Russia" program.
1. In what way have army and
navy wear affected the college
wardrobe?
Haven't you noticed the prepon
derance of navy blue and army
insignia scattered here and there
in feminine wear? These items
and the new strapped, unseamed
shoes (like the officers wear) are
indications of the present trend
toward the men in service. The
outstanding color this fall, espe
cially for the men, will be O.D.
(olive drab) and the outstanding
fabric again, covert.
2. Accessories will be the big ex
pense this fall, since clothes will
be simpler. Are there any new
and unusual things along that
line?
Accessories always- seem new
and unusual, but it takes a lot c2
looking to find things that two
really different and good-looking.
Some of the Jewelry this year
made in the pattern of your favo
rite silver pattern Is clever and
looks a great deal more expensive
than it really is. Fur muffs and
trim on hats and gloves will dress
up last year's coat, and a bit of
black lace under the brim of your
hat will add a touch of glamor to
your tea drew.
3. What will the well-dresses)
fraternity pledge wear on sneak
night (by request)?
This is a little late for some
chapters, but my only suggestion
would be that whatever you wear
on the trip to Omaha, be sure you
pad it well when you return.

Dr. R. A. Lyman, dean of the
college of pharmacy, announced
the publication of the American
Journal of Pharmaceutical Educa
tion, the last week of October.
This journal originated at the Uni
versity of Nebraska and is read by
colleges of 38 states, the District
of Columbia, the Philippines and
Puerto Rico.
Although the journal has filled
a need of the American Associa
tion of Colleges of Pharmacy and
is supported wholeheartedly by the
members at the present time, the
idea originally met with strong op
position. "If it had not been for
the University of Nebraska,
stated Dr. Lyman, "the idea would
never have been developed.
Dr. Lyman has served as editor
of the journal since it was founded
in January, 1937. When questioned
as to his previous journalistic
training, he said, "No training,
just comma sense."
The aim of the journal, as
stated by the editor, is to educate,
not merely to serve as a scientific
treatise. To carry out this plan
the magazine not only contains ar
ticles concerning the recent de-
The non-interventionists who are not and have
no remote desire to be affiliated with the America
First Committee can no longer afford to sanction
or condone such proceedings. At a time like the
present, silent tolerance amounts to indifference and
apathy. If the America First Committee is allowed
to become synonymous with the general cause of
isolationism and pacifism, it can more effectively
damn that cause than can the words of all the in
terventionist writers and speakers in the country.
I suggest that consideration be given those on
either side of this question who are glad that the
much-maligned "four fieedoms" allow two sides of
such a vital question to exist; and I suggest again
that all sincere Isolationists are not members of the
America First Committee.
Sincerely,
'. H. Jane Lynn.

Commenting on the changes, Dr.

Students should carry identifi

As to the use of identification
cards at the football games, J. K.
Selleck, said, "We feel we are
right in giving undergraduate stu
dents reduced rates and preferred
locations. If we are right in doing
