SYMPOSIUM HELD


Devoting their entire evenings
activity to the one assignment"
the editors, who come from papers
throughout the nation. trooped to
the White House last night to in
terview President Roosevelt. after
the fashion of his regular press
conferences.
The editors questioned the
Chief Executive much as they
would question reporters on their
papers.
Previously, a symposium Of the
ills of newspaperdom was held at
the National Press Club.
A higher standard for schools
of journalism was recommended
in a talk by Kenneth E. Olson,
dean of Medill School Of Journal
ism. Northwestern University. He
reminded the editors that the bet
ter schools now concentrate on a
liberal education of their enrollees,
rather than the technical aspects
Of the newspaper profession.
Edison K. Bixby, of the Spring
field (Mo.) News-Leader, gave the
delegates a first-hand report Of
the development of the Rome
Berlin axis as he saw it during a
tour of European capitals. He
described the funeral Of Vienna"
and the clanking dirge Of Ger
many's marching forces.
REVERE HITLER AS GOD
He outlined the feeling Of dread
and far prevalent in Berlin. and
said that many Gemans revere
Hitler as god.
'"The tragedy Of it is" Mr..
Bixby added succinctly, Hitler
now believes this himself"
In his address, retiring Presi'
dent Alfred H. Kirchofer asserted
1T is our duty to make 1t
clear to the public that there is
a greater guarantee for freedom
of thought in financial indepen.
dence than there is in political
servility.
reinforcement is on trial
in America. One Of the most
sacred duties Of the American
newspaper is to interpret SELL
government"

number of reasons" ne said. "In the first place, they predominate along the northern and western frontiers in a region where our most important Notifications against in- vasion exist. Under the national de- fense laws these regions are under military control. Furthermore, a grant of autonomy would allow the SudetenS to be used by Germany as political instrument against the unity of the republic. We shall absolutely refuse even to discuss with Germany a matter of such vital internal importance"
 Not all Germans Hl Czechoslova- kia are members of the Sudeten party. about 35 per cent of them belong to several small German activist" parties. The government has been cooperating with these parties.
 The official with whom I talked indicated that when and if Hitler began his penetration of Czecho- slovakia, his first demand probably would be that the government cease cooperating with the activists and begin cooperating with the Sude- tens. He said that request would be refused because the government considers the activitists to be loyal SudetenS are considered to be act-

and the last Czechoslovak, in the opinion of our diplomatic high command, will only encourage them to further demands and ulti- mate aggression.
 Prestige of England and France
 and of democracy as political
 ideal, under these circumstances,
 cannot help but be impaired in
 middle Europe, the Mediterranean
 area, the near east, the far east
 and the rest of the world-includ-
 ing Latin America. Conversely,
 our diplomats feel. prestige of the
 fascists nations will rise.
 Of course 1t can be pointed out to Roosevelt and Hull that the United States was not under the gun," as was England, that this country has no great yearning, such as afflicts the dominant British statesmen@ to make some agreement practically at any price-which will assure England against German air raids and an Italian seizure of the Mediter- ranean.
 France Real Loser
 England and France permitted things in Europe to drift to the point where an ultipsatum to the fascist powers meant at least an even chance of war. They failed to take stern measures in the face of Germany's Rhineland invasion and today that failure appears as turning point in Eu- ropean history. The turning point is chiefly signified now by the fact that France, after seeking to maintain an artificial balance of power in Europe for IS years, has now lost her hegemony.
 European peace, according to surface indications, seems to be assured for an indefinite period, during which Germany will start gobbling Czechosloyakia and make deal with England as to her lost colonies, meanwhile supporting fur ther Italian efforts in Spain.
 As to the pernanency of peace on such basis, perhaps that hope is no more absurd than was the dream of Roosevelt and Hull of a united front of democratic r1a- tions" which would include Tory governed England, Communist Rus- sia, wobbly France and the tSola- tion- minded United States.

Webbmania is swinging the country!
 So great is the popularity of Chick Webb, colored maestro that a new word has been coined to describe his particular brand of rhythm. He comes Sunday February 27th to the Ritz Ballroom in Bridgeport. First lady of song, Ella Fitzgerald, star in her own right will be heard dur ing the evening as we'll as those versatile trllmpeters, Louis and Taft Jordan, and the Webb Quintet, also known as the A La Goodman Quintet. Currently on the air thrice weekly from Lavaggi's in Boston Chick Webb's music is one of the most popular of colored swing units.
 There is delightful dancing every Tuesday and Saturday at teh Ritz with the talented Casa Ritz or chestra. Lifting romantic music, interpolated by those inimitable Ritz Rhythm Boys, as well as solos by Bob Weller and Harry Ahlberg, makes the Casa Ritz orchestra a favorite with dancers.

3. Official accentuation of the Monroe Doctrine as the key pro- gram in American foreign policy. Uncle Sam, Bag Holder
 The British governments in- sistence on seeking to appease Hitler and Mussolini by letting them have what they ask for has left Roosevelt and Hull holding the bag somewhat as Hoover and Secretary Stifnson were left when England refused to support strong American protests against Japa- nese invasion of Manchuria.
 But this time the American neck was not out as far as before. Strong popular and congressional objections to foreign entanglements had defeated administration desires to take a firmer position against German, Italian and Japanese ag- gressiveness. This both weakened the position of Sir Anthony Eden and strengthened that of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Se- cretly, the administration would much rather have seen Eden win. Choice Was Britain'S
 Actually, as every diplomat knows, things had come to the point in Europe where England had to toss an ultimatum at Hitler and MuSSo- l1ni or consent to deal on the basis of an ultimatum which those two dictators had thrown at England and France.
 Roosevelt and Hull had hoped that the British government would be tough.
 They both hate and fear the as-
 sendanCy of the fascist dictator
 ships and the possibility-which

Hapsburg domination by Austrian governments in Vienna.
 Free Speech for Nazis
 Nazi propaganda in Czechoslo- vakia has already spurted strongly since the Austrian coup. Broadcasts from the Leipzig station blanket the country. Depressed conditions in the industrial (Bohemiam end of the country help Konrad Henlein, NaZi leader in CzechoSlovakia, to advance his cause.
 The resolute way in which Pres ident Benes' government has stuck to its guns in the matter of free- dom of speech and of the press has been of the utmost help to Henlein. The only press suppress sions since the Austrian crisis have been those of papers critical of Germany, not of Germany's sup porters, evidencing the scrupulous care of the government to avoid offense.
 The eastern end of Czechoslo- vakia is relatively undeveloped, and contains the denseSt and most valuable forests of Europe. The shoe factories at Zlin run by the Bata family are world
 Jan Bata not long ago suggested plans for development of the country into one of 40,000,000 peo- pie by creating new transport and other facilities. But any such goal is still in the clouds.
 Prague, the great capital city of more than 100000 people, has neither the gaiety of Budapest nor the tragic emptiness of Vienna. It reflects the grave and solid deter imitation of a people to go for ward and live their lives despite a precariouS situation.
 Every Czech knows that his country may we'll be the Belgium of the next World War, or the Spain of tomorrow.
