Discussion Rages At Phi Meeting Over War Issues Heated discussion was in evidence at the regular meeting of the Philan thropic Assembly last night when the members debated two bills dealing with war problems. The first bill asked that the war be financed by taxation entirely do ing away with war bonds. , In intro ducing this bill, E. O. Brogden said that in continuing the policy of selling war bonds, another inflation period after the war "would come because so many people and banks would have extra money to spend and invest". He also said that the interest on the bonds is "terrific" and it would be simpler to get money to finance the war by taxation. The main objection to this proposal was that industry and people could not do their best work if high taxes were fronting them. People would be forced to borrow money to pay their taxes and this would throw the majority of the people into debt. The second bill presented by E. O. Brogden stated that the General As sembly do something about the ruling recently put into effect by the public instruction authorities doing away with foreign languages as a require ment for graduation from high school. Arguments for this bill brought out that foreign languages help a great deal in the study of En glish and that more people are needed who understand other languages.

"Bard is the first government official to come to Chapel Hill who can really give a factual report on the duties of the I Navy department in time of war."

Lily T'ang, speaking for the Chi nese students, declared it was "almost impossible" to imagine the plight of the students. "Almost all the universities have been closed by the Japanese or moved, inland to, free China areas. There was no transportation to the in terior, so the students walked, some of them a distance of 10,000 miles. They nave no equipment for conducting classes. There are no books, papers, not even a guarantee that classes will be undisturbed by bombing. Giving a few terse facts about the European situation, Paul Kattenburg pointed out the great need for help in Europe. '""Most of the, Belgian and French students are now either in concentration camps or working in German factories. Students and facul ty in France and Belgian have openly resisted Nazi, attempts to superimpose neir own educational ideas on" these universities. Ed Ota, former Japanese American student from Seattle, Washington, and now a student at Guilford College, des cribed the tragic plight of these stu dents, most of them American citizens, who had to give up their education be cause of the war. In the University of beattle alone there were 450 such stu dents, and 20 faculty members who were Japanese Americans. Much is be ing done to relocate these students in colleges not in jcoastal areas so that they may finish their education.
