A. M. Zarem Foreign Policy Last semester two columns of Side- lines were devoted to a discussion of the military strength of the United States. At that time most people were “just curious" and such an article appeared to be just the thing. Since that time events have moved rapidly and the ever changing pattern of in- ternational affairs has been bent and contorted until it hardly seems to con- vey the same picture now~—that it did so short a time ago.” What has happened since then? About three months ago, President Roosevelt in a speech at the dcdica~ tion of the new outer—drive bridge in Chicago, gave good indication that our foreign policy (which until that time had been essentially one of minding our own business) was about to undergo some revision. Mr. Roose- velt’s “note” could have been consid‘ ered a polite warning to both Hitler and Mussolini—yet it was aimed di- rectly against the Japanese aggres— sions in China. Some such message was sorely needed. Here were two vain dictators gone crazy with their success in a few minor but no less abhorent incidents—drunk with a lust for more and more power—and steeped in the blood of those who Round Robin Chess Tourney to Decide Team Positions Adolph Rune, president of the Ar- mour Chess Club announced today that there will be a special meeting of the organization tomorrow at 12:30 o’clock. The coming meeting will be of great importance to old, as well as prospective members. The semi-annual round robin chess tournament which leads to the choice of an official Armour Chess Team got under way yesterday. It will continue until all but five participants are eliminated. Members of the Chess Club meet every noon to play a friendly game of chess. Anyone who feels so inclined, may drop in and enjoy a similar ex— pcrience. For those who may require the in- formation, the Chess Club meets in the north drafting room on the fourth floor of the Physics Building.

Meeting Safety Engineering Devices Shown to Students The subject of “Gas Hazards in Safety Engineering" was discussed by Mr. C. C. O’Donnell, field iepre~ sentative of the Mine Safety Appli- ances Company, at the meeting of the A.S.M.E. last Friday which was held in the Physics lecture room. The toxic effect of carbon monoxide, the gas which is formed by incom— plete combustion, was explained. It was shown that one part of carbon- monoxide in a thousand parts of air, while not dangerous, has a slight cf~ feet on human beings by combining the oxygen in the blood stream. Two parts per thousand will cause head- aches or a general leggy feeling. Three and one~half parts per thou— sand for a period of five hours will produce unconsciousness. Eight parts per thousand for a period of five hours will cause death. ‘ A number of devices for determin- ing the amount of carbon monoxide present in the air were demonstrated. These consisted of a portable hand pump detectors which indicate the, degree of concentration by a color change in a. chemical. Other machines measured the heat of combination of carbon monoxide with certain chemi~ cals by a thermocouple arrangement. Tuesday, February 15, 1933 February 222 Set as Date tor New Play Due to excessive academic duties, Prof. I-Iomcr C. Combs has announced his intention of resigning his position as director of the Armour Players, ef- fective immediately after the pre- sentation of “The Marriage Pro- posal.” This is the latest misfortune to hit the new play. Harassed by insuf« ficicnt time for rehearsals, and diffi- culty in keeping the cast filled, the Players bore up well. Now that the cast is once more complete, they in- tend to stage their production on Feb. 22. John Keane, Jorma Leskinen, and Miss Yvonne Cavanaugh from Broad- cast Productions, Inc. compose the present cast. The sets have been de- signed, the props are in order, and the players are well versed in their lines. Barring any more untimely in~ terruptions, “The Marriage Proposal" will be presented during 10:30 period on the previously mentioned date.

In the past we watched with more or less curi» osity the actions of Hitler and Mus- solini as they struggled to build a war machine. We were practically silent in the matter—«just shrugged our shoulders, drew our coat tighter about us, and gave our attention to other internal matters. But now when it is apparent that Germany’s and Italy’s military machines are no longer in the baby stagevbut to the contrary, have grown to be full sized monsters—we are beginning to feel uncomfortable. It took the Sim) Japanese conflict in the far east to awaken America to the danger of letting the world’s two most popular playboys, wander at will. We have absolutely no rea- son for believing anything which either of these two dictators may promise. In fact they do not fully trust each other. Both of them claim that their countries need colonies to relieve what they are pleased to call over-population and to provide them with foreign markets. ber of students. How can we reconcile this clamor of overpopulation with the much louder shouting for more and more babies. It is commonly known that in both Germany and Italy every in- ducement possible is given to young men and women to marry and beget large families.
