Explanation Given For,
Change In Type Size Today
Today the Daily Tar Heel returns to its former ten
point type, reducing its column space by three galleys.
The famous cross-word puzzle on the second page may
be forced out to allow space for front page continuations. The
"World News" column has already been deleted from the
paper. ,
The Publications Union board legislated the change be
cause: (1) at present rates, eight point type costs a prohib
itive $11 extra per issue, and (2) the board was not sure that
the campus was getting its money's worth from the wider
news coverage made possible by the smaUer type.
If a reduction in printing rates and budget items is pos
sible, the board may reconsider the question on new evidence.

OPENED WITH
TALK LAST NIGHT "
Lauds America's
Place In World
Affairs Today
In the opening address of the
first International Relations con
ference last night, Ambassador
Josephus Daniels contrasted the
ea war m Asia Ine ivii ana un
civil war in spain, ana tne
threats of war which disturb the
peoples of nearly every other
l r. ... J J
portion of the world.
Daniels, who was introduced
by President Frank Graham,
stated that "there is not in the
Western hemisphere any govern-
ment Upholding doctrines of the
totalitarian state, no avid eyes
on the territories or possessions
of their neighbors, no control in
any republic by Communists or
Fascists or Nazis, no persecu
tion of races."
He added, "There is a grow
ing sentiment toward full reali
zation of religious freedom and
freedom of the press, an in
creasing friendly intercourse and
solidarity and an extension of
commerce between the 21 nations
which cooperate through the Pan
American concert of nations, and
a freedom from the costly, com
petitive armaments dictated by
fear of invasion. No American
nation is impoverishing its peo
ple or levying war taxes to near
strangulation to put itself on a
war footing. The big increase
of the Navy of theUnited States
carries no threat to any people
and has been enterprised solely
as a defense in a world that is
so distraught that no nation is
assured of safety unless it can
protect itself.
Ambassador Daniels said that
these comparatively peaceful
conditions did not exist in the
New World by accident or be
cause the peoples of these 21 re
publics always thought alike.
"They have differences and
disputes like other nations, some
times tending toward acrimony,"
he said, "but they have highly

Says There Have Been No
Worthy Speakers On The
Campus This Year
By Virginia Gipweni
"Carolina is a veritable Coney
Island," said Dr. Horace Wil
liams. "I mean it. This isn't a
university any longer it's more
of a sideshow. If you've ever
been to Coney Island you know
what I mean : There are so many
things to do; so many shows to
see. Over there is a man swal
lowing swords; over here is a
man eating balls of fire. You
walk around in a daze. And
that's the way it is at Carolina."
Dr. Williams, who celebrates
his eightieth birthday this year,
has been a faculty member of the
University of North Carolina
since 1890. In his 48 years of
philosophy teaching here he has
observed with alarm the trend
toward more and more extra
curricular activities.
"Speakers, concerts, debates,
athletic meets, dances, and so on,
