TO THE EDITOR
Squabble, England, April 3—To the Editor of the Daily Trojan: ^ certain newspaper magnate who owns a great string of dailies and Puts out a very interesting, if true, Sunday supplement is all hot aud bothered over America’s part in the London naval conference. He has been decorating tho front pages of his dailies for the past few *eeks with “open letters” addressed to Premier MacDonald and resident Hoover. They are called “open letters” because everybody else except MacDonald and Hoover have opened them.
ihese front page postcards read about as friendly as a Julian stock swindle indictment. After reading these open letters one is opposed to develop the suspicion that MacDonald’s four o’clock teas are 8P>ked and that Hoover is beginning to wear his clothes inside
out.
The writer of this front page pan-mail Insists that the American legates at London drop everything they have accomplished so far return home immediately. That’s simple. About the only thing 0Ur Agates would have to drop would be their English accents.
Oue thing is clear after reading these open letters. The author mu8t be that type of individual who always Bmells the fudge burning W the conclusion of a dinner party when the waiter starts making °ut the checks.
Yours for saying it with flowers,

Russians May Bar Kitchens In Homes
Moscow, April 2—In line with the government’s industrialization policy, a plan was today before the soviet officials which recommended the freeing of wives and mothers from domestic duties and child care that they may have equal opportunity with the men
This plan, worked out by a spe-ciat commission, also aims at "collectivization of city life” by encouraging collective forms of labor, rest and recreation among the city proletariat.
Under it, kitchens would be forbidden in newly erected buildings, while existing kitchens would be converted into nurseries, kindergartens, shower baths, ieadl.ig rooms and other places for public use.
Furthermore, large apartments would be built to house 100 or mnre dwellers and each of these would have a communal nursery and kindergarten with trained nurses aud teachers in charge. Each of these communes would also have a community laundry, meeting hall, bath and kitchen.
Thc above questions have been submitted and approved by the Political Scicnce department as being broad enough in scope to suit thc general opinions on the Naval Armament question. Students and faculty are urged to clip thc questions and check those that most nearly express their opinions, then leave them at thc following convenient locations:
Cashier’s window, Students’ Store; All Clerks, Students’ Store; Cashier, Student Fountain; Cashier, Men’s Grill; Political Science Office; College of Commerce Office; Lost and Found Desk, Administration Building; College of Pharmacy Office; Law School Office; School of Architecture Office.
Doctor O. W. E. Cook, of the department of Political Sci-encc, upon being interviewed on the naval armament question made the following statement for the Daily Trojan:
"The problem of national security is fundamental in all internationalism. For centuries nations have made themselves secure—to the degree to which each has been secure, through armaments.
“The economic burden of these methods of security has become prohibitive in our days. Too, strange as it may seem, justice may not always be on the side of the heavy guns.
“Since the days of the Hague conventions and more especially since the World War, we have sought a new basis for security, namely international understanding, pacts, agreements and related devices. They establish a more lasting peace. They arc worthy of human beings with intelligence, capable of good will and only demand confidcnce and co-operation. The most elementary of these pacts arc the consultative, which call for international consultations in case of difficulties that cannot be solved by diplomatic methods. There may follow compulsory measures up to the force of thc ‘optional clause’ of thc World Court.
"Sunie of us believe very strongly in thc international agreement method as thc only one worthy of the United St.ites of America in the year 1930."
