The loss of Johnnie Auten via in-
jury will weaken the Coyote defense
considerably. He and Hudson were
counted on to hold down the guard
posts but now someone will have
to fill his shoes. The offense is fair-
ly well taken care of with three let-
termen at forwards.
1. The conviction that the war
method is futile because it fails to
gain desired ends and creates more
problems than it solves.
2. The conviction that loyalty to
human brotherhood transcends all
other loyalties and therefore must
never be violated—in other words an
absolute ethic of love.
It is our conviction that war can
never be stopped by making more
war but only by curing the causes
of war, and by creating the kind of
world-wide society based on justice
in which such living will be possible.
As we repudiate the war method
completely, we offer as apositive
substitute the principle of non-co-
operation and non-violent resistance.
We assume that all pacifists agree on
these basic principles.

Weatherford, Dec. 17—The Wea-
therford College Coyotes scored 129
points in eleven games this year,
however their opponents scored 135
points. When it comes to the Con-
ference race however the Coyotes
shine because they scored 84 points
in Conference comptition with the
opposition only making 16. Tarleton
and Hillsboro are the only Confer-
ence elevens that have crossed the
Coyote goal line this year.

Santa, do you laugh like this when you fly over the

Are you leaving any toys or food for the little boys
and girls who are cold and hungry over there?
Somehow, we feel that you’ll not be going there this
year. You are driven out by shell and hatred.
Motherless and homeless, cold and without food to
warm their tiny bodies, those little children will miss you
this year.
But you’ll be going to Japan, won’t you? There is no
war there, no screaming shells to put you in danger. You’ll
go to the homes of the rich Japanese with toys and can-
dies and fruits.

in China, but in doing so it is either
denouncing Japan for waging an in-
vading war against China or it is
denouncing the whoe technique
of modern war. The undeclared war
of aggression which Japan is waging
against and within China well de-
serves condemnation, and the league
might very properly have gone far-
ther and denounced Japan not mere-
ly for the way in which it is car-
rying on that war but for carrying
it on at all. For if there is to be a
war anywhere, it is reasonably cer-
tain that it will be waged by sub-
stantially the same methods that
Japan is using in China. Sherman’s
“march to the sea,” execrated as
barabarous because it got behind the
lines and brought the war home to
civilians, marked the point at which'
war ceased to be a contest between
armies and became a conflict be-
tween peoples. From that day, the
pretense that war 'is a chivalrous
game has been completely absurd.
The introduction of airplanes and
submarines made this more obvious
and inescapable. Submarines attack
merchant vessels oftener than bat-
tleships. Since bombing from the
air began, it has never been confin-

The following statement was ac-

Although the term pacifist is rath-

convinced that it has a rather spe-
cific meaning, as exemplified by
several national and international
organizations.

civilians in Ethiopia. Every nation
that has an air force has bombing
planes, which, in the event of war,
will doubtless scatter death impar-
tially upon soldiers at the front and
civilians behind the lines. It will not
do to expend all our indignation up-
on the method which Japan is em-
ploying in this war. It is a particu-
larly hideous and ruthless evample
of the method which, in its essential
feature, will be used in any future
war—even by those who are now
declaring that Japan’s use of it
arouses “horror and indignation
throughout the world.” To condemn
that method is to condemn war.
retain their identity as pacifist.
Within recent months the youth
peace movement has been split to
the point of an open break. One
group is endorsing a conflict of “good
democratic, peace-loving” nations
against “bad, fascist, war-loving”
nations in the name of collective se-
curity, democarcy and peace. In re-
ality, this means a military alliance
of the “have” nations to preserve the
status quo. Pacifists are accused of
being isolationist, not willing to run
risks and accept penalties of a world
order; but we insist that peace de-
mands an even higher price. It is
our belief that basic economy di-
visions and dislocations of world
economy cannot be solved by col-
lective security (as proposed today)
but only by a basic readjustment of
natural resources, markets, and freer
world trade,—the method of “peace-
ful change.”

SECTION III. There are some po-
licies on which most, perhaps nine-
ty per cent, of the pacifists agree.
1. La vocation of the present Neu-
trality Act, realizing its defects, and
working to extend embargoes to war
materials.
2. Endorsement of the Oxford
Oath, recognizing that while it is
not adequate in not opposing all
wars, at least all pacifists refuse to
support their government in any
war. We call upon the youth of oth-
er lands especially Japan and China
to refuse to support their govern-
ments.
3. We call upon workers to refuse
to manufacture or ship arms and
munitions, especially to warring na-
tions.
4. We opose collective security as
a method of coercion probably lead-
ing to war and as a cloak to main-
tain an unjust status quo without
consideration of the causes of war.
5. We advocate the abolition of
our present economic system and
its replacement with a cooperative
economy based on production for
use and not profit.
SECTION IV. There are some po-
licies on which many pacifists differ.
The ranks are divided over:
1. Whether or not there should be
a boycott of Japanese goods.
2. Whether or not alternative ser-
vice in war-time is consistent with
pacifism.
3. Whether or not one should give
non-military aid or relief to one
side in a war.

IS HE WHISTLING IN THE DARK?
NEW YORK CITY—A new con-
cept of the higher forms of life as
being governed by a “glandocracy”
with the glands of internal secre-
tion as the supreme ruler was pre-
sented recently by Dr. Charles R.
Stockard, Professor of Anatomy at
Cornell University Medical College,
before the New York Academy of
Medicine.
In this glandocracy, according to
the new concept, chemical messen-
gers, or hormones, are sent out by
the various gands to distant parts of
the body by means of the blood
stream, to keep the body going as a
functioning, integrated whole, biolo-
gically as well as psychoolgically.
These chemical “glandocrats” de-
termine not only the purely physio-
logical functions of the organism but
also have the first and last work in
the make-up of the personality, in
the relationship between the sexes
and between small and large groups
of individuals.
One of these “glandocrats”, prolac-
tin, sent out by the pituitary gland of
the base of the skull, apparently pro-
duces the emotion of mother love,
Dr. Stockard said.
Others of the scientists remarked
that perhaps international peace and
amity between men and nations
might result from injecting prolac-
tin into some of the apostles of hate
now in high positions.
Call to Pacifist Solidarity.
As the steering committee of the
conference, we pass this statement
on to you. in hope that it will be-
come significant for pacifist thought
and action within the youth peace
movement. In the face of the pre-
sent world crisis we call for re-
newed determination to resist all
war, and to resist all proposed com-
promises on the pacifist position.
This means that pacifists will co-
Policies.
SECTION II. Following from these
premises there are certain policies
upon which all pacifists agree:
1. Disarmament and opposition to
militarism is the concrete expression
of our repudiation of the theory of
national defense by armed prepared-
ness. This means opposition to R. O.
T. C., C. M. T. C., the Industrial
Movilization Pan (Sheppard-Hill
Bill) to the military control of the
C. C. C., the billion and one-quarter
armament budget.
2. We demand that American
troops be immediately withdrawn
from the Far East, since their pre-
sence there can only result in the
creation of incidents which will in-
volve us in war with Japan.
3. We advocate the immediate re-
peal of the Japanese Exclusion Act,
realizing its psychological effect on

WINNETKA, Ill.—A tiny college
which has no buildings of its own,
gives no lectures and awards no de-
grees, is sending its graduates over
the nation and the world to carry
on an educational endeavor stress-
ing development of creative ability.
It is the Graduate Teachers Col-
lege, founded here in 1932 for the
sole purpose of training teachers in
what its sponsors describe as “the
more progessive phases of educa-
tion.” It believes the way to learn to
teach is to teach.
Its laboratories are class rooms of
public of the Winnetka and two pri-
vate institutions. Seminar confer-
ences take the place of lectures. They
are held in cooperating schools. Each
student of the college spends half
of each day teaching children in
the co-operating schools under the
supervision of the schools teachers.
Instead of granting degrees the
college issues certificates which state
what training their recipients had
before entering, what experience in
the laboratory schools and what se-
minars have been taken, along with a
line or two concerning general abi-
lity.

weld ourselves into a united and dy-
namic movement, and to make our
voice heard in the youth peace
movement!

It is our conviction that the paci-
fist position is the only one of sear-
ching realism. We must take our
stand with boldness and determina-
tion. We must seek fellowship with
others of like mind, so our convic-
tions and energies may be sharpened
and not dissipated;—this nucleus or
“pacifist team” must be our center
of loyalty, conviction and study, as
well as planning for action. We must
seek the definite enrollment of in-
dividuals in natioanl pacifist groups,
to further strengthen and make ef-
fective the ties of fellowship. We
must make the pacifist voice heard
wherever possible—while there is
yet time! we must unite with other
peace groups for intensive educa-
tion of peace issues, in campus or
community peace councils, A. S. U.,
S. C. M., etc. We must also cooper-
ate with other groups for a concerted
drive against the dangerous policy
of collective security; this involves
specifically the drive for neutrality,
for education on “peaceful change”
and for student support for the Ox-
ford Pledge.
But the importance of such united
campaigns must not diminish the
significance of the pacifist movement
as such. We must not confuse paci-
fism with more general interest in
the problem of peace. Ours is a dis-
tinctive position, which we must
maintain by our own action, and
which we must shout from the
house-tops! Again we call for paci-
fist youth to rise, to become keenly
aware of these our convictions, to
