Editor Welcomes Staff Some thirty members of the Salemite staff for this year have been chosen. These girls won their places by showing a consistent interest in the paper and by submitting a number of nrintable articles. We want to welcome them to our little “working body” and wish for them even higher goals of pournalism than what this year’s work may bring. So far, they have prov ed themselves a nosey, newsy bunch. Here’s to more nosiness and more news! These new appointments, however, do not make our staff complete. We feel that there are some girls who have not yet had the time or the chance to work on the paper. We want you to know that whenever you find time and when ever you have something to say, the Salemite will welcome your contributions. You will be invited to become a pegular staff member after two of your articles have been used in the paper. The biggest thrill of the year for us has been the number of unexpected, unassigned articles which have appeared in our office. When you write without being asked, we know that you are making the paper what we want it to be—a loud-speaker for everybody. —Vamos al cine esta tarde. —No he preparado mis lecciones para manana, pero ire sin embargo y no estudiar^ mis asignaciones.

A pesarde eso si se les ruega que bajen a la sala de la Cruz Roja para haccfr vendajes, no tienen el tiempo. O si se les pide que contribuyan un d61ar para W. 8. S. F. no tienen nada que dar.

Good night lassies . . . At Dumbarton Oaks, the Big Fourt, Russia, Great Britian, China, and the United States, got together for seven weeks in order to for- ^ mulate some plan of world security. The plan is to be a working basis for international gov ernment after the present conflict is terminated. The plan devised by the representatives at Dumbarton Oaks shows an effort to remedy the weaknesses of the League of Nations. Idealism did not prove to be a firm basis for peace in 1918. We must remember that we are our “brother’s keeper.” By that we simply mean that each of the nations in the world is expected to respect the integrity, territorial or otherwise, of all other nations. That ideal did not work after World War I because there was no force to prevent aggressive nations when they chose to abandon the ideal. In the Security League Plan, the Big Pour have recognized the fallacy of being too ideal istic about people or nations. The League of Nations had only the economic boycott as a means of punishment for offenders or trans gressors. The economic sanctions did not work for a number of reasons. First, all nations, par ticularly the United States, did not join the League. Second, various friendship, mutual assistance, and non-aggression pacts were signed between many countries. Thus, the second party of a pact would not impose sanc tions on the first party. Third, the few who did impose economic sanctions made only an ineffec tual dent on the economic supply of an aggres sor nation. There are seven points in the Security Plan: 1. An eleven member “security council” with permanent seats for the Big Four and “in due course” for Prance. The council would de cide when peace is menaced and what force to use against, aggressors. Its voting procedure is undecided. 2. A “general assembly” of all peace lov ing nations with'one vote each, primarly to advise the council. 3. An “economic and social .council” with eighteen non-permanent members to make and carry out recommendations for human welfare. 4. An international court. 5. A permanent secretariat-general. 6. A “military staff committee’ composed of the chiefs of staff of permanent members of the “security council” to make strategic de cisions on force used to keep peace. 7. Air force contingents “immediately avail able ’ ’ for use if peaceful means of blocking ag gression fail, and other quotas of force on “call.” The text, briefly quoted above, is only a tentative blueprint for a world peace enforc ing agency, backed by powerful land, air, and sea forces. The text will necessarily have re visions as conditions change, but the confer ences at Dumbarton Oaks seem to have resulted in a plan more adequate than that of the League of Nations. You say, how does this affect the individual American? It is the responsibility of every in dividual United States citizen to know and realize that he has some responsibility. He should be- informed of the plan proposed by the Big Four, be able to question it pro and con, and be able to see the necessity of having an international government among nations. The United States will go to the polls and vote whether or not to join the Security League. Most of us will be able to vote by that time and we sincerely hope that the American voter will show sufficient intelligence to support a real international government rather than some loose association of nations. i
