CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: JACK LOWE Tuesday, February 20, 1934 A Middle - Course Sometime ago the Daily Tar Heel printed an editorial recommending to the editor of the Buccaneer that he depart from his (then); policy of clean humor. This editorial was written im mediately after the publication of the first issue of the. Buccaneer. This, particular, issue had lit tle, iii it to commend except that it was clean. Needless to" say, a "comic" magazine that has no other attribute save saintliness not only fails in its purpose, which is but to amuse not educate (as some would have. it), but, moreover, is un able to justify its existence. ; Accordingly, the Daily Tar Heel, seeking"to express the general opinion of the student body, offered the suggestion that the Buccaneer should enliven its columns with a little raciness. We are certain that neither the tone nor , the ex pression of the suggestion carried any idea, di rect or implied, that: the student body wanted a filthy Buccaneer. In this regard the staff of the magazine seems to have misinterpreted stu dent opinion. A Police Gazette, was no more desired, than a Y. M. C. A. sheet. It seems as if the Buccaneer has gone from one extreme to the other, whereas, it is the: middle ground that is desired snappy, up-to-date jokes, not neces sarily, hidingthe. "facts, ot life", nor yet flaunting them in other words, a sensible Buccaneer. A Master For a Master, . . .. People from all oyer the state wereanticipat- isg the. performance of Sergei Rachmaninoff 'who was to have. been in concert here Wednes day night. Great disappointment was expressed when it was learned that the world's' greatest pianist would be unable to appear on account of serious, illness. It was deemed impossible to se cure, anyone who would or could replace Rach maninoff ; on such; short , notice. But Phi Mu Alpha, which is sponsoring the concert, has been astoundmIy fortunate, in engaging Josef Lhe; vjnnejforitheischeduled concert. ' y Josef Lhevinne is renowned throughout the world ; his name is coupled with, Rachmaninoff's among the greatest, living I pianists. The panic of the sponsors, on; learning of s RachmaninbfTs illness,, was alleviated, when they, almost un- Deiieyingiy, learnedithat Lhevinne .could appear. Theyf eel that :those who were anticiptinglnear ing Rachmaninoff : although thev realize an1 un derstand - the prevalent disappointment, will be- gin tp.iooic..iorward.to hearing Lhevinne, It. ia ope4.ttbatth.:stiident.bodyaiia, the citizens of ChapeJ Hill, instead ot bemoaning their mis fortune in losing .Rachmaninoff, will rather feel their extreme good luck in having a substitute as , good, as the scheduled artist. J.S.C. Issue Behind v ' The Austrian i Revolt Why should a riot in the capital of so small a country as Austria cause quaking knees all over the world? Why "should it matter that the government at 1 Vienna might be overthrown? Why should there be talk on the. one side of international armed intervention, and on the oth er side veiled threats as to what, will happen if intervention takes place? , The : answer. is. that Austria . in herself , is un important. Austria is important only inasmuch as her acquisition by any European Power will upset the status quo in Europe and place into the hands of the country which acquires Austria more power than the rest of Europe likes. Ger many wants, or even, intends to acquire Austria. If she does, it will increase German power, and thereby pave the way for further increases. With the increased power that Germany would gain from the acquisition of Austria, she would make further advances. In the international re lationships of the world today, a country can increase her power only if the might and pres tige of another country diminishes. So it seems that the recent terror in Europe goes deeper than the mere fact that a revolu tion in Austria might end in Austria's falling into the clutches of some other state, more spe cifically, of Germany. The terror lies rooted in apprehensions of what might follow should the acquisition take place. Thus there arose last week the suggestion on the part of France that England, Italy, and France send an international military force to Vienna, if necessary, to pre serve Austrian independence. While Italy brought troops to the Austro-Italian border, both Germany and Czechoslovakia issued warnings agamst intervention. In the meantime, people asked themselves if the "next" world war was about to break. For it will be recalled that armed conflict came in 1914 as the result of conditions strikingly similar to those created by the Austrian revolt. In the campaign that the old Austro-Hungarian Empire- initiated against Serbia in July, 1914, Russia saw an increase in Austria's power at the expense of Russia's. So she intervened against Austria, Her intervention involved the prestige and power of the two alliances in Europe, and as a result the World War came. The World War was fought not on account of Serbia or the murdered Austrian archduke; it was a struggle for supremacy between two spheres of power in Europe. Germany and the central powers lost. They were all but crushed. But now, twenty years after the outbreak of the World War, the. threatened re-expansion of Germany, with the acquisition of Austria as only the first of her anticipated steps to power, strikes terror into the heart of Europe. The general European disturbance last week over the Vienna riots was not a new inter national disease. It was merely symptomatic of an old one, one which brought the Franco Prussian War of 1870, one' which brought the Balkan; Wars of 1912-1913, one which brought the World War of 19i4, and one which will cause another general catastrophe unless arrested That international disease is the lust for power, whether you call it expansion, imperialism, "Weltpolitik," or "manifest destiny.' Now the e-expansion of Germany appears in evitable, it must be followed by one of two trends : Either on the one hand by a strengthen mg of peace machinery, or on the other hand by a wild, widespread, anarchical scramble for world supremacy, which must inevitably lead to war. The choice between those two alterna tives is the fateful fundamental issue Ivine- hp hind the Austrian crisis of the past week. D.B.

Ndw, the Agriculture Department estimates that a crop of more than eight million bales next year would spell the ruin nf thn nrt limit. production to that quantity, it is proposed that ginning permits be issued to growers, lim ltmg their product to approximately sixtylfive per cent of their average annual output for the past five years,. All over this amount would be diecked at the gin, and would, be practicaUy confiscated by a tax, and de stroyed, or stored by the govern ment. Such a step seems drastic of depriving citizens of liberty, but the ultimate salvation of the entire cotton industry seems to depend on some such limitation, and this seems to be the only plausible method of accomplish ing it. ' The liberty-loving citizen may, however, console himself with the knowledge that eight mil lion bales of cotton properly marketed will yield a greater re turn in money than would a yield of fourteen million bales marketed in the old haphazard fashion; and further, that adop tion of the plan will depend on the response of a majority of the cotton farmers to question naires seeking their opinions on it. W.A.S. SPEAKING the CAMPUS MIND War and the Phi To the Editor: The Daily Tab Heel of Feb ruary 14 carried an article con cerning B. C. Proctors speech before the Philanthropic assem bly.. It did not, however, say anything, concerning the . activ ities of the Philanthropic assem bly for. the next two weeks. I believe this program would be of interest to the student body as a whole, and therefore ask for space m the Daily Tar Heel in which to outline the program. There has been a good deal of war talk in the last few months, and a good deal of Jingoism both in the press and on the campus. In the light of these facts the Philanthropic assembly decided to inaugurate a symposium re lating to the war problem and psychosis. Realizing the scope of the subject, the assembly in stituted a procedure , that is somewhat different from the usual procedure of the literary societies on this campus. The Phi's procedure in this case was to invite informed individuals to address it on some phases of the war problem. B. C. Proctor's speech dealt with the causes and effects of war, and an outline of what the American youth can do to prevent war. For our second and last speaker in " this series we will have the good fortune of having Professor Frazer of the department of government ad dress us at our next meeting. Professor :Frazer's theme will probably deal with an outline of the methods for peace, via an in ternational body for the enforce ment of peace. The object of the Philanthrop ic assembly in conducting this symposium was to acquaint its memhers, and, all, others inter ested in the subject, with the possibilities, of avoiding immi nent and -future wars. During the symposium . it . is urged that all members study the problems involved j and prepares briefs . for a. debate on ; February 27. The vote will: be taken upon the . fol lowing, resolution : : Resolved : That; we, the. Philanthropic as sembly of. the University of North , Carolina, do ; solemnly pledge that under, no circum stances shall 1 we engage in, any aggressive, war ; i. e wa shall never cross our, borders; armed. It promises, to be a. lively de bate since there is a good deal of intellectual interest in the problem, among the .members of the assembly. All members who have not been regular in attend ance are urged to attend the next two meetings, since a significant vote will be taken. All other in terested parties are cordially in vited to attend.

OUR - ADVERTISERS Sergei Rachmaninoff is forced to play his 'well-known and popular-liked Prelude in C-Sharp Minor so often to please audi ences that, it is said, as he starts off ; with the three chords that compose the theme of the piece, he now thinks, very musically but very disgustedly -Oh J (A) My! (G-sharp) God! (C-sharp) And how many ticketholders to his concert are saying the same words this morning as they read the paper? Surprise! Sur mise! They say there were 1300 tickets sold.

Maybe, Roger, they expect each individual to 'eat it. DI SENATE VOTES NOT TO GO TO WAR headline in Daily Tar Heel Won't Roosevelt be relieved? And, why not that smoking room in the library? Several have thought it a good idea. Such a room could be super vised and kept quiet and orderly while fellows (and girls) stud ied and smoked as they liked. Ventilation for the room could be easily installed, and students who happen to enjoy puffing a cigarette, chewing a pipe, or what have you? while they study could sojourn to this room. It would save much time for those who have to take about five min utes from their work everytime they want a smoke. r Ana alter an, provision is made, for the non-smokers, why not something for the smokers ? They probably compose at least a majority on the campus, if not a big majority. From physicist Scott Barr comes interesting information about one of those eternal Japanese games called Go-San (Honorable game of Go), which is played on a square board com posed of about a hundred little squares. At each corner of the board, . used in Japan, are inden tations used to fit over the round of a human skull, whirh (not any more) used as stand ards. It seems that.in the days when emperors and empresses played the game the resentment against kibitzers was more fiery than to-! day. Should an on-looker at one of the games venture a helping remark to one of the players- chop, chop chop. and: his, head came off. Said head being used to support the board. Could we interest, Roosevelt in such a law for. bridge, poker. cness, checkers, and such games? - Greater University student a'd committee, which is represents in the Chapel Hill unit by Dean F. F.

It i3 not essentially a non-fraternity party, but a party that shall attempt to serve and according to the student body's confidence in their ability." stated Proctor. The delegates are to be in structed by their constituencies as to what is to be written into the party platform, who they are to suggest for nomination, and above all, according to Proc tor, they are to be warned against any effort to steamroll the meeting.
