His reference to the fact that the school children are not taught enough about the East is true.As a result of this lack of knowledge we do not attach enough importance to this Eastern situation. iWe think it does not affect us because it is so far away, but It concerns us more than events happening around our own doors. It concerns us more than tho Eu ropean War did. The First World War .... waj merely a war between white people—so called civilised people—no matter how dreadful. This situation in the East may 'be the beginning of a great race war—the war of the Orientals against the Occidentals—the truly great world war! It will be a war of strange customs, . strange standards of motuHty, strange religions against the civilization and the democracy and social standards which govern our lives. Therefore we should center our attention on the East—tho place where history is being made.' S. Z. Dr. Lester K. Ade 's .... Barnhart gave a thoughtfully prepared talk on College spirit in an English Activities class recently. Ono profou nd remark was that If your neighbor isn't cheering at a basketball game, you should cheer twice as loudly as he. That certai'nly would give a roaring silence. j L l t e r a r l lO up eakinq From time to ' time, unpublished poems of former Bloomsburg students will be printed In this column.

In a speech that started out to hit form al education as a preparation for practical life, U.pton Close, former war correspondent, and lecturer on world conditions, discredited the "Empires" myth , before a large audience of students and townspeople last Friday morning in the College Auditorium. Mr. Close opened his speech by asking three questions of current Interest and requested those who knew the answers to raise their hands. After the "future educators" justifi ed his belief In th eir knowledge of present condition and kept their hands to themselves, he proceeded to put them straigh t on the world crisis confronti ng them. "The setting today Is identical to th at of twenty-two years ago. We are on the way to another World War unless you do something about It. We are spending three times as much money as Germany, Japan, France and Italy for armaments, and the reason Is—Jap an. That's why we keep our entire Navy on the Pacific even though Europe Is smoking into fire." He said the United State 's en t r ance into the first World War was a stupirt blunder. It didn 't save the world for de mocracy, but for the British empire . And the British youth aren't at all grateful to Uncle Sam for It, bocause now, twenty years lator, they must go out and Iobo their lives if it in to bo saved again.
