With the big guns booming in our ears, and our friends marching off to training camp every day, it may seem out of place to remember the aims and ideals of the League of Nations. The emo tional strains of war have wharped our thoughts, and our days are too concerned with beating plow shares into swords to think of the faith that the world once lodged in the white buildings at Geneva. But war time is the best time to think of the faults and failures of former peace machinery, successful strategy for war must be formulated in peace times, and successful strategy for peace must be formulated in times of war. At the end of the last war, the stage seemed ready for a great drama of peace. The 14 nations that drew up the plans for the league fondly pre dicted that they had at last laid the foundations for a world without war. They had at last been able to set up the machinery for international brotherhood because, with the carnage of the first world war fresh in their minds, people thought the world was ready for a lasting peace. But from the very beginning the league seemed doomed From the outset in 1919 the United States led by a strong isolationist faction refused to join. The people who had sent their - sons to battle for a better world disregarded the arguments of Wood row Wilson and returned to an outmoded idea to become oblivious to the events of the outside world. Lacking the support of one of the world's strongest nations, the league set out on an un charted course. The league honestly tried to better world conditions, and to remind nations of their obligations to the world community. The interna tional health and labor bureaus were instrumental "in bringing about "better conditions everywhere. But in 1931 the league's failure to stop Japan in Manchuria marked the weakness of the league. In rapid sequence came seizure of Ethiopia by Mussoloni's forces, foreign intervention in the Spanish Civil war, occupation of the Rhine land and dismemberment of Czechoslovakia while the league did nothing. With the spreading of war, the nations' out look became different. No longer did they hope for world peace, but rather waited for the big guns to boom. And today the big guns are booming in every sector of the globe. Why, then, think about the league a peace setup that failed Because if we are going to have a just peace the ideals of the league must be the ideals of the post war world. We will be better able to con struct the new peace machinery on the basis of thirty years experience with the old machinery. True the league had grave weaknesses. Armed with a resplendent set of ideals, it was given the go ahead sign and set out to do its job without any power to enforce its decisions. Member nations could not forget national interests. Its strongest members, Great Britain and France dodged their duties when the test came. But the spirit of the league still lives on the battlefronts of the world. If those who are fight ing the battle of the democracies are not to die in vain, we must prepare NOW the strategy of the peace we so fervently hope they will make pos sible by their victory.

Sprecht '19 of Syracuse was to help put in the Spring crop, while Zelda Sharp '18 of Blockston, la. was to aid with the garden work and chicken raising. Richard Cook in a special article to the Daily from Fort Snelling wrote, "University men will spend part of their time in a university atmosphere for there will be stated study periods as regularly as drills. A heavy sprinkling of faculty members from various institutions is expected. Each man in training will have to pay as much attention to his text as to his rifle." The Girls' Club asked all students to save newspapers, magazines, and discarded themes. These were to be sold to the Salvation Army and money turned over to the Red Cross. One hundred girls registered for the Canning Class in room 306 Agricultural hall. Students at the three sessions daily canned beans, peas, to matoes, carrots, beets, and squashes.

Every one who comes in contact with him feels that it is on thud type of man the country is built. In 1929, the graduating lawyers paid tribute to Mr. Peterson by piissing a resolution saying that: "We have affection for a kindly personality who has contributed to much to the many ties which bind us to our law school." Officially a building caretaker, John was unofficially the bene factor and the confidant of all law students. They discussed courses, examinations, and professors with him. John Peterson was born in Swe den and came to the university in 1907 from an Illinois farm. He has helped a number of his young rela tives through their university courses; his own son was Invalided in World war 1. Funeral services will be held Jn Hodgman's chapel at 2 o'clock Sat urday afternoon, Reverend G. A. Elliot officiating. Mrs. Agnes Nel son will sing at the ceremony.

Music (Continued from Page 1.) gram is the inclusion of the Rhumba from the second sym phony of the contemporary com poser, Marl McDonald, rius bril liant concert piece utilizes the full color and power of the orchestra and is characterized by a surging and unceasing rhythm. Also con temporary is Lucien Calliet's clev er arrangement of "Pop Goes the Weasel," which will inject a note of humor into the program. Martial Music. The afternoon's music will begin with the martial and brilliant overture to "Libuse," by Frederich Smetana. This Czech music seems especially timely, beginning with n hnM fanfare of military na ture and having an intense na tionalistic character thruout. Conductor Wlshnow and the or chestra have been able to prepare a program of unusual unity and significance and still maintain a fine quality of orchestral litera ture. Tho essentially patriotic in character the concert is well rounded in tvpe and period of music, and is interesting also from a technical standpoint. Those to whom the "Jubilee" overture of von Weber is unfamiar will find it very attractive and melodic music. It has been selected to close the program since its Fi nale incorporates a surprising and very brilliant patriotic tribute.
