By Uniled Press War between major European powers is “inevitable,” Webb Miller, war correspondent and European news manager of the United Press, told members of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalistic fraternity, at the Writers’ club last night.
Miller, who returned recently from the northern front of the Italo-Ethiopian war, said Adolf Hitler’s violation of the Locarno nonaggression treaty and military occupation of the Rhineland, violating the treaty of Versailles, “confronts the world with the most critical and dangerous situation since the world war.”
“I am convinced war between major European nations is inevitable, sooner or later,” Miller said. “It may come within a few years, or some spark may detonate the highly explosive situation any time.
To Hasten Conflict “Violation of the Locarno nonaggression pact, which heretofore was considered the strongest bulwark of peace in western Europe, will hasten the day when the world will awaken one morning to find a major war already started.
“The reason violation of Locarno is so serious is that it shatters confidence in the sanctity and efficacy of all treaties designed to prevent war. It brings crashing down the whole structure of post-war ties of friendship and non-aggression, which was already gravely weakened by previous violations by various countries.
“I cannot believe that Hitler’s offer of a 25-year treaty of non-aggrrcsion to France and other neighboring nations will mean anything, because in the face of previous violations, none will have confidence in written scraps of paper.
Alter Trust
“They will now, more than ever, put their entire trust in military force and alliances for war and frantically prepare for the combat their leaders fear Js inevitable.
“The hands of none of the major nations are clean in the matter of treaty violations, and the whole system of interlocking, non-aggres-sion treaties has been so weakened that I don’t believe any European nations now will continue to trust their security to written instruments. but only to instruments of slaughter.
“After watching the European mess for 19 years, I think the United States should go to any length necessary, even ignoring what would normally be reason for war. even what normally would be considered humiliating circumstances. to keep completely and permanently out of the whole bloody mess.”

Organizations which have not completed payments for their panels in the El Rodeo will forfeit the money already paid if they do not pay for the space today, according to an emphatic statement by Kenneth Stonier, manager of student publications.

Under the leadership of Linton Smith, ’14, chairman of the executive board of the fund, plans were mapped out to bring the feature of class representation into the fund drive.
Class representatives from the various graduating groups of the university were invited to join in the discussion of the best possible method to be used in contacting the members of their classes.
The class of ’94 is the oldest class represented while the honor of representing the youngest graduating class was given to Francis Cislini of the class of Featured guest for the evening was Foy Draper, president of the present senior class, who was told of the duties that will be his as a member of the committee.
The fund was originated in 1933 when a number of members of the Alumni Association met and derived a method of making the alumni of the university conscious of their alma mater. During the first years of the appeal the idea of class competition was not brought into the picture of the drive, but this year at the request of several permanent class presidents and representatives the 'dea of class competition was injected into the fund drive.
While no high pressure drive wUl be conducted by the board it was stated by Smith that the prime purpose of the drive this year was to make “forgotten alumni” of the university conscious of their alma mater.
