Daily Nebraskan. Radical Changes In United States Develop During Eventful Week (Continued from first page) , r gle for world peace. What James Truslow Adams has chosen to call "America's Lost Opportunity" is to be no longer lost. : Under ; Roosevelt this country resumes the leadership of Wilson. That leadership had been temporarily stifled by the reactionary wave that swept the country after the World War and had been typified by three Republican, administrations. National Recovery Bill Hot on the heels of his "new deal" to international diplom acy, Roosevelt sent to Congress a "National Recovery Bill" pro viding for a three and a third billion dollar public works pro gram. This bill also provides for, the licensing of industry and governmental control of it if necessary. It may mean sus pension of the anti-trust acts to facilitate attainment of the aims of the bill. This is another radical de parture from traditional Ameri can individualism "rugged in dividualism" that has proven too rough. Such a trend has been foreseen and predicted by both political thinkers and in dustrial leaders in the event that business did not regulate itself. Business has failed to reg ulate itself. Under boom con ditions the public could stand a ot; under the stress of depres sion the public has repudiated aissez faire and is going in for regulation. Industry and the banking system will be respon sible, to a popular "benevolent despot." ' Is this trend in American pol- cy to be .. permanent? The chances are good that some of the progressive legislation and policies will remain even after i the return of prosperity. A complacent conservatism brought on by prosperity should act as much to prevent reac- ionary as progressive trends. These are the more outstand ing, but not the only important events of the past week or so that has been crowded with epochal events. Pending the world economic conference, an economic truce has been signed by the United States, the Unit ed Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Belgium, and Nor way. This is another important departure from American tra dition if it is true, as Walter Lippmann declares, that Ameri can post-war foreign financial policy, had much to do with pre cipitating the depression. While the general farm strike that threatened has been post poned, pending farm relief leg lslation, the milk strike in Wis consin continues to rage with rioting and fighting. , ine Japanese continue to advance southward in northern China, and when this is writ ten, are probably in control of Peiping. Nippon has greeted Roosevelf s non-aggression pro posals rather coldly, and prob ably will do so until she has achieved the hegemony of China. Hitler Becomes Conciliatory In his speech to the tempor amy convened Reichstag, Adolph Hitler assumed a con ciliatory attitude. His speech followed Roosevelf s appeal f or international peace and dis armament It is believed that this appeal also included a threat to any nation, such as Germany, which might persist in a policy of aggression against the will of the world. Hitler's speech liquidated the Geneva Crisis. He declared that the Reich was willing to disarm along with the others, but was not willing to remain an infer ior nation. Another event of this past week was the signing of the Muscle Shoals bill providing for government operation of the plant. It is well to consider these events against the background of the last few years. A wave of reaction swept the country after the World War. The United States refused to join the League of Nations, the' one shred of an ideal that Wilson was able to salvage from the Versailles Conference. The world, except the United States, was bowed down with debt. 1 he victors owed war debts ; the. vanquished repara tions. America insisted upon a favorable balance of trade, re fused payment of the debts in manufactured goods and raw materials, and expected a steady flow of gold to this country. Germany and Austria were the first to break at the ap proach of the 'depression. Un employment and hardship in creased and economic warfare continued amongst the nations. The United Kingdom gave up its traditional policy of free trade and built a. tariff wall to fight that of the United States. Then England went off the gold standard, and so did this coun try. . ; In the meantime, threats of war were increasing. It seems that the depressionjias agravat ed the causes of war and at the same time acted as a restrain ing influence. However, in September of 1931 Japan be gan the conquest of Manchuria and North China Proper which has not yet spent itself. Rus sia, grim and waiting, watches Japanese expansion. If ' Japan goes too far and steps on, Rus sia's toes In Germany, Hitler has come into power. Too late, the Pow ers made concessions to the Reich to prevent this. Repara tions are, to all intents and pur poses, non-existent. War debts, too, must be either scaled down or abolished. . . That, then, is the background of the events of the past week. This country must take the lead toward (1) return of prosper ity, ( 2 ) elimination of interna tional economic war, and (3) international peace and dis armament. If President Roose velt can gain the confidence of the world as he has gained the confidence of this republic, the United States may successfully take the leadership.

Bob Fetzer, dean of southern track, will give the monograms for all athletes. Harper Barnes, president of the student body, will pres:- at the ceremonies. Due to the increased size of the audiences each year it was first necessary to move from Gerrard hall to Memorial and this year it has been judged necessary to print an increased number of pro grams in order that all may be accomodated. PERMANENT LAWN FUND SET UP BY STUDENT GROUPS (Continued from first vaae) tablishment of the new fund was heartily recommended bv Burch and campus leaders. Thirty campus organizations cooperated in the drive, most of which were fraternities. Every honorary order and the Y. M. C. A. contributed five dollars along with the lodges to make the drive a success. 'An extended- program of grounds improvements has been instigated by the buildings de partment and the lawn on the lower campus and surrounding several buildings has been shorn and nicely shaped up. Awards Night Aimed For Campus Unity (Continued from first page) last year were E. C. Daniel, Nutt Parsley, Theron Brown, J. C. Goodwin, John Miller, Vass Shepherd, and Steve Lynch. Professor W. A. Olsen also took part in the entertainment. Originally begun as an occa sion to make athletic awards, the event later grew into an all- campus affair. One of the ma jor presentations is the Patter son Memorial award to the ath lete who is most outstanding in spirit and cooperation. Once held in Gerrard hall, the program now takes place in the larger Memorial hall. Last year it occurred on Thursday, May 26. At that time the Carbis A. Walker accounting award was first made. l .fr...:. i JUST RECEIVED A large variety SUMMER SLACKS I $1.00 .thru $1.95 ' :.
