CHAMBERLAIN ATTACKS
IEAGUE IN PARLIAMENT
London, Feb. 22 Speaking
before a hostile house of com
mons today, Prime Minister Ne
ville Chamberlain attacked the
league of Nations and demand
ed that the organization throw
off its "shams arid pretenses."
Labor members of the com
mons, demanding a note of cen
, sure for his policy of making
friends with -Europe's dictators,
continually interrupted the
jrime minister. The labor group
moved a vote of censure, at
tacking Chamberlain for the
policies which resulted in the
untimely resignation of Anthony
Eden as foreign minister.
To shouts of "you should re
sign now!" Chamberlain replied
that it was essential to talk
friendship with Italy at this
stage.
"The league is unable to pro
vide collective security for any
body," he declared. "I would
stay in the" league because I have
faith that it will be reconstitut
ed, But I doubt very much if it
will ever do its best work so
long. as its members are nomi
nally bound to impose sanctions
or impose force in support of its
principles.'
POLITICAL MEETINGS
BANNED IN AUSTRIA
Vienna, Feb. 22. A panicky
tension prevailed in the Aus
trian capital today as police pa
trolled the streets armed with
special orders to prevent any
political gatherings or demon
strations. The order, which was invoked
last midnight, will be in effect
during the following four weeks.
Proof that Jews were under
Pressure lay in the fact that six
We committed suicide recently
and four entered hospitals.
The ban on political meetings
f any size was apparently in
voked to curb displays by Nazis
celebrating the recognization of
Nazi influence in Austria admit
ted in the Berchtesgaden pact of
February 12.
Large police cordons were
stationed around the center of
the city where the chancellory
d headquarters of the Father
ed front, only legal political
Party, are located.
Approximately 1,000 patrol
en were placed near the uni
versity and technical colleges to
'event forbidden gatherings. .

state of affairs over in New
West, the Phi assembly during
the meantime was going about

Dixon in the chair the repre
sentatives began discussion on
the first bill which read, "The
Phi assembly should petition the
Student council to bar political
parties from participating in
campus elections."

Captain Rickenbacker
Discusses Youth
Of America

Moral Fabric
Asserting that the moral fab

Communism and other isms, the
celebrated flyer declared the im

is to make the young men they
are instructing realize that their
way to success is just as hard
as that of their pioneering fore
fathers, maybe more so, rather
than letting them go out into

that they can walk before they

Balloting For Fifth
Publication Will Be
From 9 To 5
To Sample Opinion
Fate of the proposed campus
radio studio will be greatly in
fluenced tomorrow as Univer
sity students march to the polls
in the first campus-wide vote of
the year.
In session last night, the stu
dent council decided to hold
polls open at the YMCA from 9
to 5 o'clock.
Fifth Publication
The ballot was requested by
the Publications Union board in
order to sample campus opinion
on the proposed fifth publica
tion. The board maintains it
has the power to set up the stu
dio without holding a formal
election.
Chairman Stuart Rabb stated,
however, that the board's deci
sion would be greatly influenced
by the test vote.
Comment Refused
Board members have refused.
to comment as to whether , a re
cent ruling by the student coun
cil affected their power to set
up the studio. The ruling re
quired that any fee-collecting
campus organization be author
ized by a vote of half its mem
bers before increasing its fee.
Present plans call for ap
proximately $4,000 of the PU,
board's surplus to be used to
wards setting up the studio.
Maintenance fees would-be ob
tained by a recall of 10-cents a
quarter from the recent refund
in publication fees.
