Still Riding the Fence
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain straddled
the fence in typical British manner in the new
foreign policy which he announced to Parliament
Thursday Like all declarations of foreign policy
Chamuerlain’s lacked definiteness and may be
interpreted in several ways One thing stands
significant — no definite commitments were made
in the new policy!
The text of the policy declares tliftl Britain
will make no new commitments in Czechoslovakia
or elsewhere in Europe meaning o i cour"! that
Hitler will have a free hand as far as ihe English
are concerned This declaration is consistent
with the aristocratic government which Cham-
berlain heads But if Russia and France pile
in to help the underdog you may be sure that
the English labor party will force some kind of
British action in central Europe
Altho the policy' declares England will not
participate in the European struggle Chamber-
lain has said “That does not mean that there is
nothing that will make us go to war” So there
we have it The policy is as wishy-washy as
observers predicted
While the new foreign policy pledges against
war the British arms program rushes on at a
made pace Within a short time the legislative
body will he asked to approve a program that is
nearly as drastic if not more so than the navy
expansion program of the United States
Chamberlain renewed the existing commit-
ment to aid France immediately if the latter is
attacked This is a safe point too It will be
some time before France will he attacked If
Hitler is allowed a free reign in Europe however
France will ultimately be forced to defend her-
self When that time comes the profascist British
government if still in power — and it is unlikely
that it will be — will probably drop its ties with
France This thing must be stopped some place
and England is not doing her part toward pro-
viding the check
The English prime minister has given the “go”
signal to Hitler in his push to bring all Europe
to his feet If the empire does not give aid to
other countries in giving Hitler the "stop” sig-
nal the Nazi machine will gather momentum like
a rolling snowball And where it will stop no-
body knows
If the Chamberlain government could get over
its dislike for Russia the central Europe situa-
tion might he helped If the labor party comes
to power it is almost certain that England will
ally herself with Russia
The nonintervention policy in Spain is not
altered by the new program The minister an-
nounced that there v!l h n strict adherence to
the former policy with regard to the civil war
This is another definite profascist plank
He expressed hope for an early signature of
an Anglo-Italian agreement But this is not a
point that should be given too much importance
Chamberlain is not afraid of Mussolini He
knows the Italian dictator is in a precarious
situation and is not a serious menace to England
at the present time
In steering the middle course which he has
fyacuUij tyotuim
- Yirgle Glenn Wilhite - “
THERE is a cuiious basic consistency between
conservative capitalistic economic theory and
orthodox socialistic economic theory Did Marx
begin where Ricardo stopped? In spite of the
fact that most modem capitalistic economists
liavc abandoned the labor theory of value ex-
pounded by Ricardo (and Marx) they have been
unable to get away from certain socialistic im-
plications of conservative capitalistic thought
This tendency of socialists to push capitalistic
theory to its logical conclusions is well illus-
trated by the following excerpts the first from
the Business Bulletin of the Cleveland Trust
company March 15 1938 and the second from
John Strachevs “The Nature of Capitalistic
Crisis” published by Covici Friede 1935
Harken unto the gospel according to the Cleve-
land Trust Company “The capitalistic system
requires a continuous flow of new capital There
are two main sources of new business capital
One consists of the internal savings of business
A second source is the new capital raised by the
sale of securities This capital comes from the
external savings of others
“rpHE internal saving of companies are con-
1 striettd because the government has im-
posed heavy progressive taxes on the undistrib-
uted earnings of corporations The volume of
earnings h been reduced- through increases in
wages and the amounts retained have been cut
down by taxes
“The flow of new capital raised by the sale
of new securities has been reduced by rigorous
restrictions on the issuing of new securities
The market for new securities has been re-
stricted by increases in the capital gains taxes
and advanced surtaxes on the high individual
incomes The result is an acute business relapse
caused by underinvestment”
At this point in the analysis the writer of
the Cleveland Trust Bulletin conveniently termi-
nates the chain of reasoning listen to Mr
Strachey develop the plot and expose the villain
“The holding down of real wages would free
the entire increase in social wealth for accumula-
tion Profits would be maintained The produc-
tion of new producers’ goods would be on so
gigantic a scale that the workers would get to
work The means of production would be con-
tinually enlarged but production itself namely
the furnishing of the great majority of the
population with consumable commodities would
not increase at alL This remarkable system
would perform one function alone It would
develop gigantically and unendingly the ca-
pacity to produce but it could never pause
actually to produce any increased supply of
consumers’ goods If the system relents from its
task it becomes involved in crises falling profits
and chronic unemployment
“TF any part of the ever growing surplus of
wealth is drawn off from the capitalists the
rate of profit collapses and crisis supervenes
Capitalism is a system which must if it is to
avoid crisis endlessly increase the means of
production but which can never increase pro-
duction itself ' There is a kind of desperate self-
consistency in this logic But is it not logic of
insanity? How can men continue to support such
a system? For is not the production of consum-
ers’ goods rationally tlio not capitalistically
the object of the whole business?”
Arc the conservative capitalists and the ortho-
dox socialists correct in their analysis? Has
capitalism fulfilled its function and worked it-
self out of a job? Is it therefore doomed to
extinction? What do you think?

er of Ihe student governing hoilie
on the campus iax not hail a meet-
ing since il first conference
Nor as far as run be detected
have ihe leader done anything to-
ward changing the no-dale rule
allho the students on this campus
are eager ami waiting foe an un-
proved attiiiule toward dating
It must be the committee mem-
bers are either afraid or reluctant
to take a stand It must be a vi-
cious task this drawing up o sys-

Ihe board of regenta
The stadrsls far whom this board
seaks ami arts are patiently wait-
ing— at least wailing— for definite
action but it seems the commute
has left Its "constituents'' holding
the sack on the sidelines
There is a difference of opinion
concerning Hie aliandunmcnt of ne-
gotiation of the group One mcm-
lier contend action has been taken
Hut the group hasn't met m 2
weeks
It is understood tliat members
have decided to lay the entire prob-
lem to President lMzsell tor him
to work out That is delightful
proxy has so few worries of his
own He won't mind adding this
problem to his long list
If reports are authentic the prest-
itcnt now will draw up some plan
and present it to the board of re-
gents sans any student participa-
tion or demonstration Which to
one way of thinking is a sure sign
of npathy toward any kind of "new
deal"
I Mill will argue that the student
body cither collectively or thru the
representation of a planning com-
mittee will have lo prove itself in-
terested in and capable of dating
under a system which would give
mure freedom before the regents
will erase the existing law
What is in store? Probably noth-
ing Such Is the way of most com-
mittees which attempt to work out
something for the students' benefit
