BROWN CHAPEI^EAKER Economics Professor of State Tells of World Events On Friday, October 28, Dr. B. P. Brown, professor of economics at State College, spoke tb tho stu dents In chapel under the auspices of the International Relations Club on economic conditions of the world today. In his speech Dr, Brown said, “The World War was a roost pro found failure in respect to the principles for which we said we were fighting." A list of the prin ciples given are: making the world safe for democracy, fewer arma ments, freedom of the seas, a world ruled by right instead of might, a world ruled by Interna tional law. and a freer trade so that the standards of living the world over would be higher. Dr. Brown compared Kaiser Wilhelm to Adolf Hitler, stating that the former Is much more of a gentle man than Hitler as none of Hitler's pi-omlses can be relied upon. The speaker gave some of the Incidents that he believed bad brought about the condition of the world today. Among these were the mistake of the United States In not joining the League of Natlonl, the Inequalities of the treaty ot Versailles, the folly of the Indem nities which Germany and the con- auered nations could not pay, the attempt of France to establish military control of Europe, and the fallus'e of Franco and England to aid the Germans after the World War to establish a sound democ racy. Dr. Brown stated that with in the last decade the principle cause for the present economic conditions was the treason of Eng lish diplomacy as It was working In the Interest of the English no bility to prevent its overthrow in the case of a future world war.

Going with her husband, who was a medical missionary and who later became associated with Dr. George Green In hospital work, Mrs. Lockett lived la Nigeria, which Is'Just across the continent from Ethiopia, "the country which when it was captured by Mussolini, caused most people to discover that there was such a continent as Africa,” Mrs, Lockett told her audience that there are twenty million peo ple In Nigeria who do not know Christ and who beg for mission aries after they have learned of the Saviour, Although the coun- ti'y Is under the control ot the British government, the tribal chiefs have some part In Its ad ministration. Many of these peo ple sleep on mats, and they mark their children with tribal symbols when they are only ten days old. Snakes and gnats constitute a part ot their diet, and they eat from one large pot. In describing the cannibalism that existed in the Northern part of the country, Mrs. Lockett told of a village that contained a bed of around two hundred and fifty stones placed In rows. These stones represented the number of men that had ])een killed and eat en by the tribe. She said that now many ot the people had been saved, and quoted Dr. Lockett by saying. "Jesus Christ can save even a cannibal." Many of these people have come to believe in a Great Creator, yet they will not go to church because they feel that He Is too holy for them to worship. However, they permit their children to attend. Mrs. Lockett told the story ot a native chief that was sent to the hospital in a dying condition.

Later he realized that his king would be angry It he refused to offer human sacrifices when he went back to his native village.
