WM s&MJp to race a SENATOR'S TALK IS CLIMAX FOR ANTI-WARDRIVE Speaker Considers America As bright Light' By Ed Rankin "We are back where we were before the War," stated Idaho's Senator James P. Pope last night when he climaxed the campus peace demon stration sponsored by the Venidas Group and the Carolina Political Union with his speech, "Watchman, What of the Night?" Senator Pope upheld his gloomy viewpoint by sketching the post-war history of the world from the days of the Peace of Paris till now. Versailles Treaty The Treaty of Versailles has only two constructive phases, he said, and they were disarmament and the con cert of nations. The United States helped to kill the League of Nations idea when it refused to sign. Instead of disarming after the War, the Al lies spent more money to enlarge their armies and navies, therefore rendering the disarmament clause im potent. Four recent reasons why the Lea gue has no power, the Senator said, are: (1), the entering of Manchuria by Japan and their non-declaral of war, (2), Italy's invasion of Ethiopia, (3), the resigning of the dictatorship- ruled countries from the League, and (4), the very recent Anglo-Italian ( treaty through which "Europe has gone back to the balance of power principle." On Spain In reviewing present day conditions in the world, Senator Pope stated that he believed Spain was to soon become another Fascist country and that "dic tatorship means imperialism and im perialism means war." South America, said the Idaho sen ator, is the object of a high pressure propaganda campaign and Brazil is a good example of a dictatorship run riot. Hits Munition Makers The munition makers were attacked and the blame for the failure of the disarmament conference after the war was laid at their door when Senator Pope said a number of the actual members of the conferences were in close connection with the munition magnates. Neville Chamberlain and other men of his rank had much stock in armament plants and therefore had no sympathy with the disarmament conferences. The main threat that the Fascists nave in this country is the use of propaganda, continued Pope, but as the "overwhelming sentiment in the United States is against the Fascists," America should be a strong hold against dictatorship. "Bright Light" And it was thus that the senator saw a "bright light" in the world situation. America today is the strongest defender of democracy and "this continent is a great place of (Continued on page two) Dr. Mack To Speak To Science Club Tonight At 7:30 Chemistry Department Head To Discuss Deposition And Spreading Of Oil Films CPU PEACE POLL CLOSES AFTER THREE-DAY VOTE Protest Parade Resulting From State Faculty Ruling Dr. Edward Mack, head of the de partment of chemistry, will speak to n'ght at the meetine- of the Scinece club, which will be held at 7:30 in 20(5 Venable hall.

All students interested in the Stu dent party and in maintaining a check on politics on the campus to insure that the most capable men are put up for the various offices are invited to attend. Mitchell Britt Considering that the past election was a forward step towards demo cratic government on the campus, Stu dent Party Chairman Mitchell Britt, stated yesterday that "the large vote indicated that both parties will in the future have to put up the best men in order to win. "The Student party," he said, "if it has done nothing else, has forced recognition of the most capable men on the campus. . We feel that the great amount of interest shown this year was not a mere seasonally fluctua tion, but that henceforth the campus will continue to take an even greater interest in the offices and officers who control its policies."

L. Cloyd, their dean of students. Yesterday morning the State college campus was fairly quiet after the demonstration of the night before which was taken to be the culmina tion of the "present dictatorship of faculty control, under which the stu dent government has merely been a figure-head." Calm Before Storm However student leaaders stated that yesterday morning may have been merely the calm before the real storm. While reports of a possible "strike" of the entire student body were circulating, student leaders said action was being held up until stu dent sentiment could be checked more thoroughly. Students expressed the opinion that everything possible had been done on the peaceful side in the past two weeks to kill the faculty ruling. Until Tuesday night there had been no open demonstrations against the ruling. The opinion was expressed that this was largely due to strict faculty con trol at State where "any open reaction against the administration is consid ered equivalent to a shipping of fense."
