By H. M. Ross AMERICA LISTENS to the meas« ured footfalls in Europe, marching toward, no one knows for sure what goal. However, one thing is clear; America must remain free and un- entangled in any “mess" into which Europe might get itself. Let no profit by the example of past experi- ences. Let us truly remain the great nation which we regard our- selves instead of again playing “sucker” to peoples motivated in their actions only by greed or re. venge as we did in 1917. WE ENTERED the last war filled with the much touted spirit of wag- ing a “war to end all wars” and to “make the world safe for democ- racy", not to mention the fact that we had to protect the interests of American business men who had be~ come financial aides to the cauntries at war. We sent millions of men and billions of dollars across the sea. They returned to us a well filled list of “killed in action,” thousands of maimed and wounded, and only a triflingly small percentage of our financial investment. THE WORLD WAR of 1914 to ’18 failed miserably in its purpose. Not only did it fail to settle the disputes of the nations involved but it served to sow the seeds of discontent and hate which today flower throughout the world. Looking back, we find a motive of revenue underlying Eu- rope’s seemingly precipitous entry into the last war. France wanted revenge for the indignities which she was caused to suffer by the fall of the Napoleonic Empire in the early part of the nineteenth century. She wanted the return of the economic and territorial rights of which she GRADES—— (Continued from mac 1) Departments Engineering Science ..... . . . . 2.10 Fire Protection Engineering . . 196 Civil Engineering ...... . . . . . 1.73 Chemical Engineering ....... . . 1.69 Electrical Engineering . . . . . . . .1136 Architecture . . . . . ...... 1.52 Mechanical Engineering . . . . . . . 1.51 Freshman students not included.

Any antiuwar alliance, which excludes the basic producers, will result in any pitiable failure. The middle-class. to which most of us belong, must be drawn firmly into the composite opposition. For ‘that class is completely doomed in the event of: war. At the beginning of the conflict, the monopolist will find it necessary to coordinate indus« try and the professions on such a scale that there will be no independ- ence left for the individual merchant or practitioner. Upon the middle— class, also, will fall a heavy propoiu tion of the taxes required to sup- port the sordid business. Certainly we need, in these preliminary under- takings, the vast influence and pres- tige which the American middle-class still commands.

Page Three firearm Cop Season whens Peace-fully Along with the “wearing o’ the green" Saint Patrick’s Day has brought the smouldering freshman- sophomore feud into prominence again. A few pantsings took place the first day, and more followed on the second, but the big blowoff is yet to come, although there have been indications of more activity. There is much hot discussion over this green but and pantsing issue at the present. Since Paul Martin, junior marshal], gave the freshmen his Junior Week talk, the fresh are probably more blood-thirsty than ever. To get a general picture, a few of the freshmen and sophomores were questioned about green hats, depant. sing, and brawls. S. E. Healy, sophomore: “Brawls are obsolete and should be abol- ished.” R. A. Winblad, freshman, “Green caps are all right—they put spirit in a class.” W. J. Chelgren. sophomore, “Green caps and depant- sing, but no more brawls.” B. G. Anderson, freshman: “Brawls are all right at times." N. D. Rice, fresh~ man: “Green cups, but no depano- sing." F. L. Leason, a junior said: “They ought to gct a more civilized and original way of enforcing the green caps."

England, Italy, Germany, and Russia, each seeking “303.,an up" pm oi positive beneficial willow upon illumination... special benefits for herself, were easily convinced of the advantage of engaging in war. IN 1918 the slaughter was over. In mid-June, 1919, the conference of the victorious Allies was completing its work. The Treaty of Peace was receiving its final touches. Its male ing had been a tedious drama. In a. harsh conflict of national interests over the Peace Table the ideals oi: defense for which half the nations of the earth and nearly two-thirds of the human race had been urged through four years and two months of prodigious slaughter had become submerged. To the desire to redress the past was added the compelling force of safeguarding the present. France, like Germany, and to a lesser extent England, had staked her financial security on victory and the ability to transfer the costs of the war to the defeated enemy. Her na- tional debt on July 31, 1914, was $6,835,000,000; and at the time the Peace Conference opened this debt stood at approximately $29,000,000,- 000. Unless this calamitous burden could somehow be shifted to Ger- many, millions of French citizens faced financial ruin. This problem so acutely pictured in the case of France, was in a less degree true of her two leading allies. THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES which was finally presented to the world reflected this situation.
