THE THRHHia—HOUSTON, TEXAg
Angell Critical*
(Crattoaad from pig* ti
are of an offensive nature. Great
Britain's wars of defense, he said,
have been fought In every country in
the world but three; Switzerland,
Greenland and England. And he
added ironically that America's wars
of defense have been waged against
opponents who had no intention of
threatening either New York or San
Francisco.
The speaker's remarks were espe-
cially caustic when he alluded to the
American veneration for traditional
political dgma. "We have an Idea,"
he said, "that it is obviously seditious,
if not actually immoral, to even sug-
gest change in our antiquated tools
of government." Mr. Angell ridiculed
the present American elective meth-
ods. He characterized the present-
day ballot as a "telephone directory."
on which the voter is forced to check
the names of men he knows nothing
about, for ollices of which he knows
still less.
Among some of the speaker's other
pointed remark were these: "The
British democracy, as an expression
of democracy, is much more complete,
than your American version."
"We don't want intelligence in
either religion or politics."
"The voice of the people? It is said
to he the voice of God. More often
it is the voice of Satan. If we go on
believing public opinion to be the
voice of Cod. this thing Democracy
will go to smash,"
"We fought to make the world safe
for democracy, hut. we are already
losing faith in the thing for which we
fought—for. which we hurled our
young men to their death. We are
already praising men like Mussolini."
"Dictators are the creatures of pub-
lic opinion, and can dictate only so
long as public opinion supports them."
In closing Mr, Angell advocted some
form of world organization or inter-
national government for the preserva-
tion of peace. Because it is man's na-
ture. he said, to be stupid and biased,
to be unsocial, to want to fight instead
of to compromise, some such organi-
sation is absolutely essential.
A class for radio announcers has
been opened by the University of
South Dakota. Will the pupils be
taugh how to pronounce "berceuse"?

COLD
NATIONAL CONVENTION
Determined efforts are being made
by a group of twenty Rice students
to secure the soft drinks concession
at the assembly hall of the National
Democratic Convention in Its session
here this summer.
Several influential *ocal men, prom-
inent in Democratic circles, have been
approached on this subject and have
responded favorably to requests for
assistance in securing this project.
Present indications are that the Rice
students stand a good chance of ac-
quiring the desired concession.
Should the concession be granted
to the Rice group approximate one
hundred additional students will be
employed,, leaders in this enterprise
state. Those students desiring to be
included among the one hundred aides
are asked to list their names with
Clark, 211 South Hall.

OLD BIBLE
An old Bible, with heavy brown pa-
per covers, dated 1819, was removed
from my locker last year f26-'27) dur-
ing the English 200 study of the
Bible. The family records in it have
suddenly become of great value.
Please return it. to Mrs. Stratford,
Mrs. Blake, or Mickey Durrette Aid-

the Owlets, a win that the squad has
sworn to duplicate if it is within their
power.
These two games will. be.the last
for Captain Henry Grant, who will
get his degree in June. The team is
primed to give Hank the best brand
of ball capable in order that he may
end his Rice basketball career in the
glory of victory.
The Owls are making a strong bid
for fourth place in the Conference
standings, and a victory over T. C. U.
will practically assure them of their
present position. Knowing this, the
Owls are confidently entering the bat-
tle tonight with the object of bringing
a victory out.
With S. M. U„ the situation is dif-
ferent^ as they are already firmly
ensconced above the Owls in posi-
tion. The situation is one of revenge
for a drubbing earlier in the year,
and the Owls should come out with a
win under their belts.
