DEFENSE OF CIVIC
CLUBS MADE HERE
District Rotary -Governor Says
Organizations Are Not Los
ing Their Usefulness.
The opinion expressed by
some people that civic clubs have
outlived their usef ullness and are
fading out of the picture is ut
terly without f oundation in fact,
Ted Johnson, of Raleigh, district
governor of Rotary, declared
Wednesday night in an address
before the Chapel Hill Rotary
club on the occasion of his of
ficial visit.
"I am sure that the civic clubs
are perfectly willing to meet this
challenge," Governor Johnson
said, "and, speaking for Rotary,
I feel that there was never a
time when our organization was
more needed. Even in this time
of depression our clubs are hold
ing up their heads and carrying
on in a way that wins for them
the highest commendation."
finvpmnr Johnson said that
two crying needs of the world
today, as emphasized by the
newspapers and public platform
speakers, are understanding and
good-will, particularly as ap
plied to nations. One of the
main purposes of Rotary, he
said, is to supply these two
needs.
Violin selections by Prof. T.
Smith McCorkle, with Mrs. Mc
Corkle at the piano, were fea
tures of the program. Rev. C.
Excel Rozzelle, president of the
club, presided and introduced
Governor Johnson.
Freshman Council To

amiability among the first year

' O : .- . . .
By Vermont Royster
"I have been exceedingly in
terested in the investigations
and research of the University,
and especially the work of the
department of commerce," said
Dr. Betrand de Jouvenal, repre
sentative of the Radicalist So
cialist party of France, who
visited theUniversity yesterday.
Dr. de Jouvenal has been com
missioned by his party to study
the international economic situ
ation with the relief of the world
wide depression in view. He has
already made a very thorough
study of the situation in England
and in Germany and is now on a i
six months tour of America, en
deavoring to obtain all the avail
able data in connection with his
work. Dr. de Jouvenal came
over with Primier Peirre Laval,
who was sent by France to con
fer with President Hoover, and
he remained in Washington until
M. Laval's departure.
Radical Socialist Party.
The Radical Socialist party is
endeavoring to have in its plat
form for the next general elec
tion some satisfactory method
for solving the economic situa
tion., The ultimate object of Dr.
de Jouvenal' study of interna
tional economics is to find, and
recommend tp his party such a
solution. With this material on
hand the Socialist party, hopes
to be instrumental in forming an
international economic board,
which is to be. a permanent
group for the study of... interna
tional finance and trade. .
Glee Club Will Give

The University Glee club will
give its first concert of the year
next Saturday night at the North
Carolina college for 1 women in
Greensboro. Thirty-six men
have been selected by H. S. Dyer
to make the trip. T. Smith Mc

Janitors Help Jobless
Negro janitors on the campus,
out of work during the summer,
and suffering a pay cut along
with other University employ
ees, have done their part in re
lieving the unemployed. When
they heard plans for relief they
chipped in, and one of their num
ber handed their boss, P. L.

"Some economic theory is
needed to establish international
harmony," he stated. "Many
American authors have been in
fluential in instigating this
economic study. America has
a vast store ot lniormation on
hand, but the leaders of the
country have failed to utilize it."
. Depression in France
When questioned as to the
relative severity of the depres
sion in America and France, Dr
de Jouvenal was a bit hesitant
in his reply. "In France," he
said, "the economic situation
has not been studied to the de
gree it has in America, so that
the French people do not realize
the true nature and extent of
the .. depression. In ; America
every little mistake in the eco
nomic policy, every little re
lapse or decline is brought to the
public eye. This is not so in
France. Men do not keep up
with the trend of intricate fin
ance from day to day. But if
one may judge by the number of
unemployed and the number of
failures, I would say the . situa
tion is better than in America.
I believe, though, that if the
French had such valuable in
formation they would act quicker
than the "Americans. Last year
the French government spent
only 800,000, francs, 'which is
around 150,000, American dol
lars, for the purposes of statis
tics and census. Our party is in
favor of the establishing of

ment on the upheaval which is
now going on between China and

the conflict may affect the lives

cause it is putting the League of
Nations to an extreme test. He

main aloof from the conference
at Geneva, and not try to sneak
in through the "back door."
The speaker said that last
year 15,500 boys and girls fin
ished high school in this state,
and that of that number, only

training of these individuals.
The speaker closed with the
statement that the" present fresh
man class, as ' individuals, are
the "high scorers" of their age
and category, since they found
means of attending college.
