THE BETTER CHANCES
OF DISARMAMENT
INDIFFERENCE
Mow much interest are Stale
College students taking in the discussion on disarmament? One
student remarked when asked if he
approved of the open forum for
disarmament discussion, "Why, yes,
it's a good thing, I suppose." VVhcn
he was questioned us to his opinion
about the phase of disarmament to
be discussed Friday he said, "I
haven't the slightest idea about it.
I haven't any time to look it up,
but I suppose we can learn something from the people who have to
speak." • If Stale College students
arc not going to inform themselves
about these important questions miless they are compelled, what is the
use of having discussions? Hut
students have admitted that the
discussions are good, and therefore
it remains for us to look up Obese
questions, And it should be profitable for us to have an understanding of both national and interNational problems. As teachers, we
shall be expected to have a knowledge of current events, A teacher,
as well as any other person who
is awake, should have ambition
enough to find out the progress ol
events. But the stronger reason
for our interest is that we, as citizens, are all responsible for our
national progress. Shall we contribute to a mass of unthinking
people, or shall wc desire the good
of our nation and of all nations
sufficiently to think toward our
future welfare?

Washington conference on limitation of armaments, is being demonstrated by their altitude toward

Soon after the invitation to the

it convened, the Historical Association and the International Relations Club decided to pool their
plans for a program and to pre

of the international gathering. The

time each of these dignitaries arrived in America he had an understudy at Syracuse carefully scanning the news dispatches of his

University Library co-operated in
making available bibliographies, and
a file of clippings was kept in the

So far as practicable, the details
of the real conference arc imitated;
but where interest might be heightened or information might be conveyed by departing from the historical accuracy, there is no hesitation
in doing so.

to including Americans on their
