“Colonies, Mandates, and ackward Peoples in the orld of Tomorrow,” will be he subject of a talk by Dr on Ellis, professor of inter-.ational relations, at the 26th emiannual philosophy forum oday at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne all.
< “A review of the various iUtements made during the past ear by the highest statesmen of he United Nations leads me to be-ieve that the world after this war ill continue, as in the past, to lave colonies, mandates, and backward peoples,” Dr. Ellis explained. Even before the peace confer-nce which will come at the end f World war II, the United Natans are making exceptions to a universal application of the prin-iple of self determination. Churchill excludes India from the pplication of the principle of
elf determination ; Benes excludes he Sudetan Germans; Britain ould restore to France, Alsace-rraine without mention of a lebiscite on the matter; the ueen of Holland would create federal government of the utch colonial empire but would ot give complete independence the native races ruled by Hol-nd, Dr Ellis stated yesterday.
‘It is evident that the principle self determination of peoples 11 be violated as freely after this as after World war I and that lonial empires will continue to 1st,” he revealed, jansfer of minorities from one a to another will probably fol-/ the pattern of the post-Ver-lles era.

Los Angeles, Tuesday, Apr. 13, 1943
RI. 5472
No. 125
Open letter to Phil Levine;
Mr. Levine, Election Commissioner:
On the morning of March 26, the day of the fraudulent election, the Daily Trojan carried a story on the steps you were taking to insure an honest election. It turned out that quite a few voters were quite a few steps ahead of you.
As a result, the ASSC Senate has called the play over because of political clipping, holding, off-sides, and a few other nasty practices. This time the referees must be more alert or we’ll be playing this elections game from now to doomsday.
There are several.precautions which could and should be taken to prevent a recurrence of the last debacle, steps which would insure, in part, an honest and accurate score of a fairly played game.
Since we realize that you have the final say on election procedure, we hereby offer suggestions only:
First, we suggest that a candidate running for office should not be named an election official and preside at the polls—as was the practice in the last election, as you will recall.
Second, we suggest that unauthorized persons—persons who were not sanctioned by the senate—should be prohibited from serving at the polls—as was the practice in the last election, as you will recall.
Third, we suggest that miscast ballots be declared such by a committee of three, rather than let any one of 15 senate members throw out disputed ballots.
Fourth, we suggest that you and senate members find out how many ballot boxes there are and include all of them in your tally at the proper counting time. You will recall that another ballot box suddenly turned up after the counting had been completed last time.
Fifth, we suggest that draft cards be shown to election officials whenever doubt arises as to the validity of a student body card.
Sixth, we suggest that only senate members preside at the polls, this will be possible with the passage of John Lowe’s amendment which would consolidate polling places.
These are only a few suggestions which might close some of the avenues of fraud.
We realize that an honest election will require much more than vigilance on your part. It is as much the obligation of every Trojan to insure an honest election as it is of the election commissioner.
How honest can it be? What degree of honesty is it humanly possible to attain?
All we ask is that it be as honest as the results of the balloting at the Administration poll in the last election— results that were not checked by the fact-finding committee for evidences of fraud, for all agreed that fraud at that poll was nil.
If one poll was honest, why can’t all polls be honest, Mr. Levine?

Earhart, Jap captive?
President M. L. Brittain, of Georgia Tech, who was on the battleship Colorado when it searched the south Pacific for 4 Amelia Earhart Putnam, said yesterday he “suspected” the famous fiyer, given up for dead since 1937, might be a Japanese prisoner.
Draft expanded
Selective service yesterday virtually wiped out dependency as grounds for draft deferment and war manpower commissioner Paul V. McNutt warned that by the end of this year every able-bodied man between 18 and 38 will be in the armed forces except for 3,200.000 in agriculture, the ministry and vital industries.
Willkie may run
Wendell Willkie yesterday thanked California Republicans for asking him to run for president again in 1944 and to enter his name in the California primary next May although “naturally, X haye not finally decided what I will do with reference to seeking the nomination of the Republican party in 1944.”
Dr. Carus foresees currency change
by Dr. Clayton D. Carus
Admittedly, the type of economy immediately following the hostilities will be of opportunist character, involving lavish expenditures of substance to keep erstwhile combatants alive and to regenerate dislocated industry on all fronts. One phase of this transitional period, which will assuredly carry over into long-run policy, will be some profound adjustments in international exchange and national currencies.
Paper currency circulated by Germany and Japan in all occupied lands will provide an economic headache, but such currency will presumably have to be repudiated. Of far more consequence will be the pressure upon the United States, in particular, to reconstitute the gold standard and do it with the gold stocks now accumulated in unprece dented quantity in this country.
Both of the foregoing immediate objectives must be functions of government, for they cannot be adequately accomplished by private en-* terprise.
A third immediate consideration
will be the reconstruction and perhaps relocation of destroyed industrial plants. Many removals will be necessitated by population- shifts and decimation occasioned by warfare, while others should be removed to better locations as a re suit of depletion of the reserves which originally prompted establishment and nourished them thereafter.
A fourth, and final immediate consideration in the economic field, ls the profound deficiency of European livestock. The herds of western Europe must be rebuilt by shipment of breeding stoclf in the first six months to at least represent their preWar numbers. This will require 4,000,000 cattle, 6,000,000 sheep, and 2,000,000 horses.
Shipping space to accommodate such numbers will be sharply pressed, but the results in freeing the victors from the consumers’ food burden in Europe will repay the cost and effort.
LONG-RUN RECONSTRUCTION AND PERMANENT PEACE OBJECTIVES will be more difficult to achieve but even more important in results.	(Continued on Page Two)

In case of an air raid alert, students should comply4 with the following instructions:
1.	Sit on the floor, as far away from windows as possible.
2.	If in a class in Old College, Cinema building, Science building, and the School of Music buildings, evacuate immediately at any red alert to the buildings designated to receive them.
3.	If in any of the other buildings, students should remain in their rooms, unless otherwise ordered by building wardens.
4.	Do not use the telephone.
5.	These rules will apply immediately upon hearing short staccato rings by the university bell system.

Trojans batter Hollywood, 5-1
by Lee Schulman
The Hollywood Stars h$t the showers licking their wounds yesterday afternoon as Rod*Dedeaux’s Trojan batsmen crushed the Pacific Coast League club 5-1 at Gilmore field, even though manager Charlie Root called upon heavy hitting Lou Novikoff to help ward off the power of Troy’s baseballers.
It was the 17th win of the season for SC, with big Earl “Ace* Chambers pitching the locals to their ninth consecutive victory since dropping a tilt to the Los Angeles Police Department back on Mar. 18.
Chambers allowed eight hits in the nine frames, spreading them evenly over the route. The Stars managed to bunch two singles in the sixth, with Marv Gudat collecting a double to start things off, and Bud Dawson, former Trojan ace, knocking him in with a single.
For “Ace," it was his seventh win of the season against no losses, and the senior hurler pitched a game of which the Hollywood boys were mighty envious. •
The Trojans scored a run in the top of the first and were never headed from there in.
Al Spaeter’s hitting streak was halted at 20 games as the slugging second baseman went 0 for 3.
