Dr. Graham analyzed the structure of industry as repre senting the interests of three groups, business men, workers, and consumers. "The values of all three, as functionally neces sary to a well balanced indus trial self-government must be recognized if there is to be. suc cess in the movement for re covery," he stated.- v No False Prosperity If recovery means merely the recovery of the old false prosperity, then recovery be comes merely the prelude of a crash, vaster and more terri ble," Dr. Graham stated. "Re covery should mean not less em phasis on machines but more em phasis on human beings, not less emphasis on production, but more emphasis on distribution as a way of justice and balance and on consumption as a way of life. "With fairer prices to con sumers, a fairer deal to the farmers, more decent wages, hours, and conditions for the workers, more security for the work and homes of the people, and a bit of leisure for the cre ative imagination and recreative loungings of the human spirit, what an economically produc tive, socially balanced, and spir ltuallv beautilul America we can plan to build in our time!

Folk Festival National Folk Festival at St. Louis, Long Dream of Folk Move ment Leaders Throughout The Country, Proves an Artistic And Financial Success And Insures Repetition. By Carl G. Thompson ! A troupe of twelve of the Car olina Playmakers organization has just returned from a trip to the First National Folk Fes tival at St. Louis, Mo., where they presented three of the re presentative folk plays written of the people of North Carolina. After long years of slow pro gress, hard work, and justifiable faith, the various folk move ments of the United States culminated in this First Nation al Folk Festival presented from April 28 to May 2 as part of the dedicatory exercises of the new Municipal Auditorium at St. Louis. The dreams of the lead ers and believers -in American Folk Art found reality chiefly as a result of the undying efforts and intuitive genius of Miss Sarah Gertrude Knott, national director of the festival. Much credit for the success of this feat goes to that charming woman who gained her inspira tion and much experience from her work in North Carolina with the University, Sarah Gertrude Knott. Executive secretary of the state-wide dramatic associa tion sponsored by the Univer sity, Miss Knott had the oppor tunity to see the headway that folk art was making Jin this state. As a result of her' ex perience. in the North Carolina annual Dramatic Festivals held for the past eleven years in the Playmakers theatre here, Miss I A TT? TA ATT7,T7"P WOMAN'S COLLEGE IN RETURN MATCH Hunt And Sarratt Debated in First Contest Monday. A debating team from the Woman's College of the Greater University in Greensboro will meet a team from the Di senate here next Tuesday night in a return engagement on the query, Resolved, that co-education is desirable in all the branches of the greater University of North Carolina. A team from the senate com posed of Ernest Hunt and Reed Sarratt debated the affirmative side of this query in Greens boro Monday night. The debate was a non-decision contest; however, a rising vote on the part of the audience declared the debate a tie. This is the first time this year that the senate has engaged in a debate with a team off the University campus. The debate to be held here next Tuesday will be the first debate of the year on the campus in which women have participated. At the meeting of the senate last night the bill, Resolved, that the present federal police sys tem is inadequate and should be enlarged, was passed by a vote of 17-2. Speaking for the bill were Senators Crowell, Howard, and Russell; speaking on the opposition were Senators Coef- field and Williams. The senate then organized it self under its new floor system to discuss the query on co-education which will be debated next Tuesday. This debate resulted in the favorable vote of 16-4. Speaking for the affirmative were Senators Weaver, Howard, and Williams ; those upholding the negative were Senators Rus sell, Coeffield, and Johnson. Proves Success Knott conceived the idea of a nation-wide folk festival which she carried with her when she went to St. Louis. St. . Louis, the community- minded citysof the middle west' was an iaeai piace ior tne ae velopment of her plans and the final achievement of her ambi tions. Backed by many of the successful business men and civic organizations there, Miss Knott also received the sponsor ship of the greatest folk leaders in America including Paul Green, Lamar Stringfield, and Percy MacKaye. Indebted to Koch Herself confessing indebted ness to Frederick H. Koch and the Carolina Playmakers which he founded, Miss Knott was in sistent in her demands that this organization be represented at the festival and that its director and founder be present. Be cause this organization was the first theatre is. America to de vote itself to the Folk drama and because its founder is one of the leaders in the development of the Folk art, the Playmakers were featured in the festival, presenting one of their plays' at every performance except on the first day. 5 - ".. :- ; The troupe of twelve Play makers, including 'Proff Koch prepared three of the - most representative' of its original folk plays to produce at St. (Continued on Jag4 two) PERLZWEIG WILL SPEAK AT SIGMA XI MEETING William A.
