Intercollegiate Disarmament Council Sponsors Poll To Submit To P resident On P articipation In War

In r c:ponse to a nation wide move­ment under t he leadership of the In­ter-collegiate Disarmament Council THE VIA TORIAN will hold a poll during th e nex t fo r tnight to determine t he attitude of the s tudent body to· ward participat ion in war for their country.

The pu rpose of the poll is explain­ed in the following words of J ames Frederick Green, chai rman of the Council :

I n view of the imminen t danger of war in Europe and th e Far East, promising a degr ee of destruction and concomitant s uffer ing unknown even in the World War , I believe that it is imperative fo r Ame rican s t udents to speal{ their m inds at this time. Undergraduates at Oxford and in other British universities are giving thei r government due warning that they will "under no circumstances fight fo r King and Countr y". A sim­ilar declaration b y our present college generation will compel the American government to consider twice any ac­tion liable to involve the country in war , especially in view of its obliga­tions under the P aris Pact.

The Intercollegiate Disarmament Council national poll on "Participation in War" is circulating some 600 col­leges, four of which, Columbia, Brown Princeton and Yale are already en­thusiastically carrying on their locH.! polls. The peti tion is phrased so that both the r adical and the moder -ate pacifis t may s ig n , in designa~d

The ba lance of power was the dominant idea in the peace conference ending a gr eat war at the Congress of Vienna. A century passed. The conference that fo l­)owed a much great~r war in 1918 was dominated by the Ideals of an Amerc1an whose name will echo down the centuries as a great prophet. The ideals of Wilson had a tapgible result. He could not be shouted down by the selfish g rowls of self-seeking nations. America was be­hind him. And t he League of Nations stands as a corner­stone of his plan for world peace.

Chesterfield ? • 1fi

That's a very simple question to answer.

The stem in a tobacco leaf, like the stem

in most other plants, is "woody". It hasn' t

any of the flavor or the aroma that you

want when you smoke. And it doesn't

burn right.

So after tobacco has been properly aged,

one of the first things to do is to remove

the stems.

A Chapter Meeting of the Viator­ian Order was held at the College during the Easter vacation, Tuesday, April 18.

But what has this to do with your enjoy­

ment of Chesterfield cigarettes? Just this.

It means that we starr right when we make

Chesterfield-the right kind of leaf with

the stem removed, th e right manufacture

-everything that science knows that can

make CHESTERFIELD a milder cigarette, a

cigarerce that tastes better.

T obacco used to be stemmed by hand-Now thi; mac!Jine stwlS 14,300 leaves every hour.

That's why people say "They Satisfy."
