Vol. XIII. No. l4. SZBELENES By LEROY BECKMAN FOLLOWING the usual proce- dure, France has injected another argument in her favor for abandon- ment of disarmament activities on her part. The argument, as sct forth in French publications, is based on the finding that American as well as British firms are selling airplane motors to the German government. France intends not to be outdone—— when Germany is involved. QUOTING A WRITER in the Echo dc Paris, a French newspaper, we have the following statement: “We have learned that help which has been given to Germany’s rear'ma. ment by American industry is much more important. The French govern- ment has derived information from a private American source to the effect that 2,000 airplane motors have been sold. It seems that the Berlin government was besieged weeks ago by agents for English and American war material firms. The government did its best to satisfy both." Considering the foregoing statement, it is implied that the United States and Great Britain are in favor of bolstering German fight- ing forces. France might be suggest. ing something for our statesmen to absorb, as iiiiiit‘..ts..i;.”no was. no School Holds Annual when Home By Gordon A. Zwisslcr Once again Armour Institute of Technology is sponsoring its yearly Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois UNFORTUNATELY, international jealousy persists in existence. It is the door step between conflict and world-peace, and yet has never had a closed door over it. Russia, Japan, Austria, Italy, Great Britain, Ger- many. France, and the United States, are all involved in internw tional problems~problcms bound to exist and deserving of solution. And yet, France in its perilous situation with regard to the balance of the world powers, i’inds argument in Open House, inviting the public to inspect the marvels and wonders pro— duced in the various fields of engineering and science. Just as the Century of Progress this; year is cndcavoring to surpass its efforts of last year, Armour intends that this Open House will excel] all past efforts. In the absence of the shops in Machinery Hall the many laboratories have planned greater exhibits to more fully exemplify the breadth of their achievements. Any questions troubling the visitor will be answered cheer- fully by the students in charge of demonstrations. Prospective Armour stu— dents will find this an excellent opportunity to interview members of the faculty with regard to entrance requirements and qualifications. Following is a detailed account of the exhibition accompanied by n directory on an inner page. ’ L’ ' " 1' Something entirely new this year is Siplooh ilarty is I “in . d t i l 1 t' h' the exhibit prepared by the social Eli-Ii in inbus :illmre 3010?: ll) 1m science department.
