Adolph Hitler ids Peace In Europe
German Decision Believed To Be Answer To F.D.R.'s Speech
BERLIN, Oct. 13— (U.EI—Germany today gave a formal pledge to respect the inviolability of Belgium’s frontiers and announced that Fuehrer Adolf Hitler thus has made “an essential contribution to the assurance of European peace.”
The formal declaration supplementing similar pledges made by France and Britain last April 26, replaced the famous “scrap of pa-per’’ tom up by Kaiser Wilhelm when his armies invaded Belgium in the summer of 1914.
ANSWER TIMED A semi-official communique de-1 scribing Hitler's “unselfish and generous gesture” was believed to J have been phrased as an answer to . charges that the Reich's rearma-1 ment and denunciation of post-war j treaties constitute a menace to peace.
Many diplomats professed to be- j lieve that the pledge was timed as an answer to President Roosevelt’s recent speech which, by unmistakable inference, denounced Germany, Italy, and Japan as aggressor powers spreading lawlessness. BELGIUM TO BE FREE The powers’ pledges to Belgium, which is sandwiched in between heavily-armed France and Germany, conformed with an an-

Logan Blasts Proposal
Democrat Calls Long-Term Policy For Peace 'Silly'
WASHINGTON. Oct. 13—(U.R)— A proposal tonight by Senator M. M. Logan, democrat, Kentucky, for a naval blockade of Japan by world nouncement a year ago by King: Powers foreshadowed a major flare-Leopold II that Belgium, hi any | UP ln congress next month oyer the future war would be tree from any President’s stand for cooperative ac-
political entanglements.
The new German pledge was made in the form of a joint note issued by Baron Konstantin von Neurath. German foreign minister, and Vicomte Jacques Davignon, Beigian minister to Germany. BELGiUM. A PROTECTORATE
Germany pledged, as did France and Britain, to go to the assistance of Belgium if she ever were invaded or attacked.
In effect, Belgium becomes a virtual “protectorate" of Germany, Britain, and France in any war, so long as she maintains strict neutrality.
The communique of the Deutsches Nachnchten bureau pointed out that Germany’s pledge would become void if Belgium should lend military aid to Germany's enemy or enemies in any armed conflict.
Dr. Knopf Opens Religion Lecture Series
Div Carl Sumner Knopf. School of Religion, inaugurated a series of lectures at the assembly period yesterday. He compared the problems of the youth of the ancient periods with those of the modern college ' student.
Using &> his general theme for discussion "Has Modern Youth a Chance?”, Dr. Knopf quoted many passages from writers of the early centuries. His text. “Say not thou. ‘Why is it that the former days were bett«r than these?’ Thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this,” was taken from Proverbs 7:10.
According to the speaker, the ‘ Rood old /lays” were just as full oi it* problems few youth as are the modern days. “In 1874 Roscoe Conklin wrote: ‘Mai^ will smile at the idea that men lirour day have grown better. Decadeirce in morality is the order of the day’." Other quotations were given from as far back as 2900 B.C.
Music was provided by Mr. Archibald Sessions at the organ and Dr. John Smallman directing the A Capella choir in selections from Gounod. Christiansen, and Barnby.
Sponsored by the School of Religion. these assemblies will continue throughout the semester on alternate Wednesdays and are open to the public.
tion for peace.
Logan, member of a senate group which favors giving the president wide discretionary powers to maintain American neutrality, said it was “silly” to attempt to devise a longterm policy for peace.
The senator’s suggestion came after President Roosevelt, in his “fireside chat,” emphasized that United States participation in the forthcoming nine power conference will stress peace measures, not war measures.
“I am opposed to war,” Logan said, “but I am also opposed to running for a hole every time anyone says ‘boo!’. I think the fleets of a group of nations blockading Japan would stop the present hostilities. But it *would have to be collective action by several nations.
“It seems to me that the president is saying we are not going to have war. no matter what happens. But I cant’ follow through on what he proposed. If the nine power conference fails, then what is he going to do?”
James Farley Hits Rumors of War
BUTTE, Mont.. Oct. 13—<U.P>—As long as President Roosevelt is in the white house the American people need not worry about becoming involved in any war. Postmaster General James A. Farley said in an interview here today.
"The president,” he toki reporters. “has an infinite knowledge of international affairs and he will not be led into any rash action by anyone at any time.”
Farley refused to commit himself on current rumors regarding his resignation as postmaster general to become head of a motor car company.
Tf and when anything like that happens,” he said, “everybody will know about it in plenty of time.”
Medicine To Campus
Barn Dance Sponsors Will Offer Bids In 'Cure All' Sale
Changing its theme from agriculture to medicine, the College of Commerce barn dance committee will sponsor a medicine show at assembly period on University avenue this morning, with Howard Patrick, varsity debater, as master of ceremonies. Dick Keefe, chairman of the publicity committee, announced yesterday.

RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
APPLICATIONS
Because nominations for the Rhodes scholarship must be made before October 30, students who are interested in entering the competition should signify their intention to do so by securing application blanks sometime this week, according to Dr. Frank C. Baxter, English professor and U.S.C. representa-

“Unless a student has a scholarship average of “A” and has taken an important part in athletics or college activities, there is little chance for his nomination,” said Dr. Baxter. But anyone who has these qualifications has been asked to see Dr. Baxter this week.

“Although the senior class council will have little to do until the last few weeks of the college year, its members have been selected early so that they may begin at once to find out how they can make the final days of our campus experience as enjoyable as possible,” President Brower stated.
Continuing the practice begun by the class of '37, this year’s graduating students will set aside the week before commencement for a period of brilliant celebration.
“The University of California has a senior week in which nearly every member of the class finds plenty of interest, no matter what his idea of a good time may be.” Brower continued. “We're going to investigate the California system and try to pattern our senior week after it as nearly as we can.”
