"Most men abominate and loathe the idea of killing human beings, yet millions do enthusiastically this thing that they most utterly detest,", Kirby Page, internationally known authority on war and peace and the implica tions of the League of Nations, de clared in chapel yesterday morning. Mr. Page's address was the second of a series that he is delivering in con nection with the Human Relations In stitute that is being held here this week under the auspices of the Y. C. A. "The failure of voluntary enlist ment and the resorting to of conscrip tion by the nations of the world re futes the statement often made that war is inevitable because it is the na ture of man to fight. Mass hatred, fanned by false propaganda, is em ployed by nations to drive their citi- zents to war. More wars are caused by stupidity than design. We stumble and stagger into war rather than rush into it," Mr. Page continued. The speaker attributed modern wars to two causes. The first, Industrial ism, causes economic controverses and wrangling over financial and economic matters. . It has been demonstrated, however, that warfare over economic matters is unprofitable. The cost of waging the war always overbalances the value of the property in dispute. "War doesn't pay in dollars and cents," he -declared.. W- Rationalism is the second and by far the largest cause of warfare. ' It is impossible to speak of it without heat. The world is divided into 60 divisions. These divisions comprise many factors, including race, but race is not the cause of nationalism. NOMINEES ARE ANNOUNCED BY THE P. U.

(Henry) Magazine: No nomination. , Attention is called to the fact that of the nominees for the Publications Union Board, three men are voted for, includ ing one senior and one junior. The Publications Union has an nounced the publications nominations for the spring election. In the dif ferent publications the nominations made by the editors and staffs re ceived the official sanction of the Union. Hence, the Union hereby an nounces its nomination of J. F. Ashby for the position of editor-in-chief of the Tar Heel, W. W. Anderson as the official candidate for the editor ship of the Buccaneer, and Henry Brandis as the approved nominee for the editorship of the Yackety Yack. The Carolina Magazine has no duly constituted or definite staff, and for fthir teaswr Editor ' Starr suggested no recommendation for the editorship of the Magazine. The Union did not see fit to nominate without recom mendation. The editorship of the Magazine will be left entirely to floor nominations. . ' The Union according to its consti tution and the accepted usage nom inated six men as candidates for the Publications . Union. ' Its nominees were as follows: From the rising Senior class, Charles Nelson, K. J, (Mutt) Evans, J. R. . (Joe) Bobbitt, Jr., and Killian Barwick; from the rising Junior class, J. O. Marshall and W. D. (Bill) Perry; from the rising Sophomore class, Glen P. Holder. From these nominations each student will vote upon one Senior, one Junior, and one representative-at-large from the candidates named. These men were selected upon the basis of their experience .and proven ability in one or more publications, their matruif y of judgment, integrity and character, and their general knowledge of stu dent publications. Political considera tions were notable by their absence, apparently. Romance Languages at Swain The Spanish Table at Swain Hall has proven so successful that agita tion has been started by the devotees of the French language for the for mation of a similar group with "par-lez-vous" as the password. The bene fits of speaking a language at each meal are self-evident and there will no doubt be several students who de sire to organize a French Table. Those interested may communicate with J. A. Downs at 103 Old East or G, Fred erick Cole, Jr., at 109 Hillsboro Sa.

President Student Council Representa tive Vice-president Secretary Treasurer AMERICA IS NOT DOING PART IN WORLD AFFAIRS Gibbons, In University Sermon on International Affairs, Declares for More Participation. 1 The regular University sermon for March was delivered Sunday night in connection with the Human Relations Institute. Dr. Herbert Adams Gib bons, of Princeton,' New Jersey, spoke on some phases of the present inter national situation. "Those of the post-bellum genera tion," declared Dr. Gibbons, . "are judging and finding fault with their elders for the unsuccessful manage ment of world affairs since the war. They challenge the Church because of the imperfections of the present world, and they challenge the national lead ers because of America's ambiguous position among the nations of the world. "This younger generation has an opportunity for objective study of the entire situation and should enter into this study with open minds and no preconceived opinions." Dr. Gibbons went on to tell of Amer ica's part in the World War, which grew out ef selfish national interests rather than any disinterested motive. "And since the World War," he con tinued, "the part of the United States has been like that of a mother-in-law too prone to give advice without accepting responsibility." "A certain degree of self-interest is natural and not to be condemned. We can not do anything for Europe in the nature of bestowing gifts. Today we must not take the patron izing attitude but rather that of mu tual help. , The United States holds the key to the situation. We say that we want , to cooperate but we only offer advice. If we would elim inate the war debts, France and Ger many could get together, and the na tions of Europe would return to nor mal life. This would be no act of pure generosity on the part of Amer ica. We cannot get money for our debts; our foreign markets for raw materials would be sacrificed if we tried to force payment. "The only conclusion is this: the cause of war between nations equal in man power, in culture, and in pro ductivity is that they do not have equal access to colonizing areas, raw materials, and world markets. Till they do and till there is a mutual give-and-take between nations, then there will be war. We of the United States want peace because we have everything; our barns are filled. If we would have lasting peace, we are the ones who must make the sacri fice." . (Contitmtd 01 pag Hurt) 1 Students Gather To Put Candi dates in Race for Coming Elections, April 6 Class Nominations Made Tonight. The climax of the political season rapidly draws near; nominations are to be made in Memorial Hall Wednes day night at seven o'clock, and the election is to follow in two weeks on April 6. The usual queries as to who will run are going the rounds of the cam pus, but they will soon be settled. Un certain rumors will become known facts tomorrow night as nominations are made in Memorial Hall. Politi cal, parties are grooming their fav orite candidates and eloquent nomina tion speeches are being composed. - Tomorrow night at 7:00 o'clock the whole campus will convene at Memo rial Hall for the all-important nom inations. First the board nomina tions for the editors of the Tab Heel, the Yackety Yack, the Magazine, and the Buccaneer will be made by the Publications Union Board and nom inations for the Y. M. C.
