Poll Finds American Students Still
Definitely Isolationist in War Views
Ed. Note Thin In a new poll being con
ducted by rrlnceton Inlverttity student,
based on the questions and plans of the
(iallup poll aad should, threfore, be quite
authenic.
American college students are
still definitely in the ranks of the
isolationists, but no longer can
they be considered as balking
idealists trying to hold against the
tide of events. An Intercollegiate
Survey conducted last week, using
Gallup poll questions, indicates
that they have swung toward the
national stand on questions of war
and national defense.
Considering youth's character
istic liking for extremes, it is not
impossible that during the coming
year opinion in U. S. colleges
may easily swing over to the inter
ventionist side, with student
opinion leading rather than follow
ing that of the country as a whole.
When asked directly, "Should
the United States declare war on
Germany now," a little less than
Hay Library
Values Picture
Of Abe Lincoln
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (ACP). A
contemporary oil painting of Abra
ham Lincoln, valued at "several
thousands of dollars," is the most
important single item acquired by
the John Hay library of Brown
university in the last year, Dr.
Henry B. VanHoesen, university
librarian, disclosed in his annual
report.
The portrait, 22 by 27 inches,
is the gift of John D. Rockefeller,
jr. of the class of 1897. It was com
pleted about 1864 by William
Cogswell, the artist who executed
the Lincoln portrait that hangs
in the White House. Mr Rocke
feller purchased the painting In
1928.
Art critics have said the portrait
may be the orginial from which
the White Houhe painting was
copied.
a fifth of the students polled an
swered yes. D. George Gallup, in
his American Institute of Public
Opinion, found that 21 of the
nation is ready for declared war
and 79 are not. Dividing up the
Intercollegiate Survey, it was
found that the middle west was
lowest in its support, only about
ont-tenth of the students favoring
declared war at the pre?ent. The
east, topped by Dartmouth's 39,
was most prepared for declaration
with an average of about 25.
Gallup surveys show that "war"
to the average American means
A. E . F. Apparently American
college students don't look at the
question quite in the same light.
In every college polled, the per
centage which wanted to declare
war was consistently greater than
that in favor of sending "part of
our army to Europe to help
Britain," the college student still
says "No," but not quite so violen
tly as he did against an expedi
tionary force. Ohio State leads
the ranks of the dissenters with
78 against. The students polled
had least objections to sending

"some of our warships manned by
American sailors to Europe to
help Britain." There were still ob
jections, however, altbc the uegrea
of intensity varied greatly, run
ning a high as 54 in favor, to
74 against.
Next the questionnaire asked If
the students would approve a legal
control of prices and wages. Can
ada has such a law putting a ceil
ing on wages and salaries as -well
as prices. Dr. Gallup has found
that two-thirds of all Americana
would support a similar law. Here,
also, the students agree with the
national sentiment, the Intercol
legiate Survey average running at
exactly the same level. The west
gave the least support to this plan,
with Denver's Regis College, for
instance, totaling only 65, for the
proposed Jaw.
On the question of a law mak
ing compulsory the buying of De
fense Bonds or Stamps in pro
portion to income, students show
belief in the freedom of private

against the plan, with Princeton
giving as high as 80 against.

When the British open their
"Bundles for Britain" they may
find something besides knitted
sweaters. It wouldn't be quite
tactful to say "Onions to Britain"
as a new slogan and yet that is
about what it amounts to onion
seeds.
When the nazis overran Holland,
England's main source of garden
seeds was cut off. Gardens are
more important than ever in the

she asserts.
Thus, with women at the helm
in foreign offices there might be
a lot more talking back and forth
between nations than there is now,
but the chances are that there
would be less military action, Dr.
Landreth believes.
She bases her conclusions on a
scientific test. For two months
she studied the crying of 32 chil

five weeks she studied the crying
of 25 of these same children in
their homes.
In all crying incidents in the
school, boys were responsible three

sive nations. That's why Amerw
cans are being asked to give seeds,
and money with which seeds will
be bought, for British soil.
Seeds should consist mainly of
onions, carrots and peas, if pos
sible. Farm Bureau Federation
people who are devoting their time
to thtis campaign suggest that, so
far as possible, money be given in
stead of seeds. Growing conditions
in England are different from
those in most parts of the United.
States, and if money is available
the national office for this cam
paign can buy the varieties that
will be most suitable. Also, ac
cumulation of a sizable sum of
money from gifts will allow tho
national office to buy at whole
sale prices and thus obtain more
seeds. Last year 17 tons of garden
seeds were sent to the British.
Local collection is being made
at the Nebraska farm bureau fed
