Sumner Welles Hits America s 'War Thinking'
Statesman Criticizes Army Foreign Policy, Military Domination
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20— (UP)—Former Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles tonight asserted that America is developing a dangerous war psychology.
He said U. S. foreign policy is being made largely by military men and “is is inevitable that the military viewpoint
must govern the decisions reached.” “A psychology is being created in which our government is thinking primarily of force as the only effective instrument of policy, and in which the average citizen is rapidly ceasing to think of our foreign relations except in terms of war,” he declared. That state of mind, he added, is just as menacing I to world peace as the “tinder box” Dr. Rufus Bernhard von Klein- situation in Berlin.

STRENGTH WEAKENED
“The State department prior to World War II was primarily staffea by members of Delta Phi Epsilon,” Dr von KieinSmid said. “During the last war much of the fraternity’s strength was weakened. Today, however, Delta Phi men have returned from this latest war with greater interest in the world-wide objectives of the organization than ever before.”
Cutler spoke of the early history of Delta Phi Epsilon. The fraternity was organized by foreign-service men during World War I as a means of training American students in foreign trade problems and governmental service in the State dfpartment. The SC Delta chapter was organized in 1923 with the ala of Dr. von KieinSmid and others.
RAPID EXPANSION
Smith addressed the group concerning the rapid expansion of Delta Phi Epsilon alumni, pointing out that the alumni will aid all members to become established in world trade practice.
Sowers said that the foreign | trade department of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce offers its full support as well as its many | services in helping members of the j fraternity to become established in j the profession either here or abroad.
Evans said that candidates will appear at three sessions in different costumes. They also will be watched on campus by the judging committee to determine general personality and behavior.
The judges, who Evans said will represent a cross-section of the campus, will rate candidates on a scale of from one to five points on various qualities. They will meet the prospective Helens for the first time Wednesday, Oct. 27, when half the candidates will be eliminated.
The student board of from five to ten members will judge the first two events, and a group of film stars and other luminaries will make the final decision.
Evans advises all sororities and dormitories to choose their entries carefully, keeping the judging system and standards in mind. He also asks any woman student who is not affiliated with a housing group but wishes to enter the contest to see him in 235 Student Union from 1 to 3 daily.

Pettengill Criticizes Extremist Leaders
SC Economist to Lecture On Leadership for What?'
Dr. Robert B. Pettengill yesterday voiced his disapproval of present-day leaders in a preview of his lecture this afternoon in Bowne hall at 3:15.
“Many of our leaders today are authoritarian, some are anarchistic,” he said. “I am opposed to either extreme.
Dr. Pettengill, director of then---——
Teaching Institute of Economics,
will deliver the fourth of a series of lectures sponsored by the Student Government Leadership committee. His topic will be “Leadership for What?”
AUTHORITARIANS Authoritarian leadership is in the ascendancy, said Dr. Pettengill. He gave two reasons for his opinion:
1 Many people who are leaders are unable to tell the difference between leading and ordering. These leaders take over with the assumption that only their ideas are right and, under the guise of helping the people, work only to satisfy their own ego.
2. Too many persons are ignorant of the true qualities of a leader and too lazy, even if they did know, to support a good leader. DEMOCRATS AND ANARCHISTS Speaking of democratic and anarchistic leadership, Dr. Pettengill said the leader who expresses his ideas and asks the group for constructive criticism comes closest to being a true democratic leader.
He termed an anarchistic leader as one who has no ideas but stands before the group and requests that all individuals tell him what he should do. This group seldom gets anywhere," he said.
EASY WAY OUT The economist said that authoritarian leadership is steadily increasing because people find it easier to let someone else do their thinking for them.
He concluded with the statement that practice in leadership must increase or the quality of our leaders will continue to decrease.

Skiers to View Perilous Climb
Two men against the highest unclimbed mountain in North America is the subject of a color movie to be shown today at the SC ski club meeting.
SC student Leo Miller and a friend spent their summer vacation two years ago attempting to climb Mt. Vancouver, 15,700 feet high, located in southern Alaska, 60 miles from the border of explored country.
Miller became interested In the sport when he served with the 10th Mountain division during the war.
They have a complete pictorial record of the trip, which extended over a period of three months.
The first part of the picture shows the hunting and fishing they found on the Alaskan highway.
CONQUEST FAILS
They were unsuccessful in reaching the top of Vancouver, but they did climb 12,000 feet, where they were turned back by an overhanging ice-walL
To add to their difficulties, they ran out of food a week after starting the climb when the supply airplane missed the drop and the food feU into a crevice.
From that time until their boat came back after them, two weeks later, they lived on a diet of fish, belts, and shoe-leather.
Miller says the picture will Interest those who follow the sport of mountain climbing, and will completely discourage the faint hearted.
He says it is a good illustration of the thrills of climbing on ice, but it is also an illustration of the way carefully-laid plans can fail.
The mountain is still unconquered, Miller says, although another party attempted it this summer.
The movie will be shown at 4:15 p.m., 101 Barracks K. Attendance la open to everyone.
Harley Speaks On Experience
With UNESCO
Trojan Smog To Hit Farm
Trojan bandsmen will bring a facsimile of Los Angeles smog to the Bay area when they cavort at Stanford stadium Saturday.
Bleating trumpets and twittering piccolos will be accompanied by coughing spectators when several of the musicians, bearing portable smoke generators, form a column of smoke flowing across the playing field from the giant Indian peace pipe formed by the rest of the football band.
by Yolanda D’Andro
A large and enthusiastic group which included students of several local high schools “shared the impressions” of Dr. J. Eugene Harley, on his experiences with the UNESCO, yesterday.
Dr. Harley, a serious, bespectacled man who knows his subject ana feels intensely about it. gave a brief background of the United Nation* as an introduction to his speech on UNESCO problems in Australia. New Zealand, and the Philippines.
In outlining the ideals of the United Nations Educational. Scientific, and Cultural organization. Dr. Harley would point, from time to time to a chart which listed in large black letters twelve principles fostered by the UNESCO. The firs* principle which tells in a few wora» all that the UNESCO stands for reads as follows:
PRINCIPLE “To promote a free flow of ideas and information on the popular a3 well as the scholarly level—through the radio, motion picture, and the printed page, and directly between scholars, teachers, librarians, ana artists.’*
Dr. Harley spoke without benefit of a prepared speech. He addressea himself directly to the audience, speaking informally and effectively, he told of the problem of getting the word “education” in the UN charter. He said the Atom bomb put the S in UNESCO.
Barely touching the announced topic Dr. Harley spoke more about the countries he visited on his recent tour of the orient than on the problems encountered. In his one hour lecture, however, he tola briefly of conditions in Siam, the Philippines, New Zealand, and Australia.
Of Siam, Dr. Harley said, “it la
the pivotal point for Communism.* Honolulu, he cited as an example of racial tolerance and racial adjustment. The Philippines he callea brave, friendly and proud.
GRATITUDE
While he was in the Philippines, he interviewed Dr. Bianvenido M. Gonzalez, president of the University of the Philippines. Dr. Gonzales expressed his gratitude to SC for their contribution of books to the Philippine university. The The books were collected in a large drive last year.
Dr. Harley spoke emphatically of the dollar shortage in the countries he visited. The Fulbright plan, which would take money derived from the sale of war surplus goods and use if for the interchange of students and teachers has been greatly affected by the shortage of American dollars in these countries.
“There is a danger that the Fui-bright plan might become onesided, since countries like Australia and New Zealand could not meet the expenses,” he said.
