this be? Because we have been mad

|cians promised us that if we could
start business spiralling upward it
would continue to rise under its
own momentum The forecast was
that if we put people back to work
in the heavy industries, they would
buy more goods, stores would place
new orders with manufacturers, fac
tories would hire more workers.
These new employees, in turn, would
buy more goods; and around the
circle again. The public was con-
WINGED that this upward spiral would

Today, the upward spiral is I'M

finally going full blast. The majority,
however, fear that the current up

business men to the best industrial

We have had depression and dold-
runs so long in America that we
have come to think of hard times as
normal times. America is just as
afraid of prosperity today as she
was Of depression ten years ago.
My guess is that those who believe
that we can never have another
boom will turn out to be just as
wrong by 1912 as those who in 1929
believed that we could never have
another depression. Interesting as
this speculation is, the practical per-

A LOGICAL EXTENSION OF
DEMOCRACY"

"a logical extension of democra-
cy" was what DIR Lyman Harris,
University of Omaha history pro-
iessos, called the war referendum
today in replying to a colleague,
Professor Dayton Hickman, who
attacked the referendum last week
as "a fantasy Like Ferdinand the
Bull"
Speaking to members of a cam
pus organization who last week
heard Professor Hickman assail
the referendum as impossible, i'm
practicable and detrimental DR..
Harris took up the cudgels for sup
rorters of the current war refer
endum proposal. The referendum
would let the people rather than
Congress decide whether tn United
States should wage war on foreign
soil.
This business of going to war
and sacrificing ONES life is such a
vitality important one that | believe
the persons who have to do it
should have some say-so," declared
d.. Harris.
"My position is not meant to
b. an attack on representative go
vernment, but instead a recommen-
dation for an extension of demo-
craey. The referendum represents
a form of direct democracy which
we already use in a number OF
states"
As DR.. Harris sees the war re-
ferendum in principle, the measure
merely extends that area from
which tho central government if
already excluded. Besides civil Ii
berries, he would include in that
forbidden area the right of a man
to say whether o riot he wants
to fight and die in a foreign land.
When someone objected that the
wra referendum might "hamstring''
American diplomatic policy, the
historian ratorted emphatically:
"That's exactly what I want If
it's our foreign policy to send A
merican troops all over the world
then I'm strongly in favor of ham,
stringing it.
furthermore, there's 2 considera-
BILE portion of American public
opinion that disapproves of the
idea that the threat of war should
be used freely as q diplomatic wea-
pom"
The professor pointed out that
in the past American soldiers have
fought and died in Mexico, Nicara-
qua, Haiti, Santo Domingo, Cuba
Puerto Rico, the PHILIPPINES, France
Siberia and Russia.

BOOKLET SHOWING AFRICAN
ORIGIN OF RELIGION AN ART
is PUBLISHED

New York, Jan. 26 (C)-After
Several years of research, Prof.
Charles C. Seifert, director of the
Ethiopian Historical Publishing
company, 313 West 1877 Street, has
issued a new booklet, Genesis of
Religion and Art" in which he
shows through the writings of
several recognized authorities that
the origin of religion and art goes
back to the African.
"From the very dawn Of history
writes Prof. Seifert, 1--WE find art
acting as a major factor in mans
development towards = better and
fuller life That the Negro or
Ethiopian or Africa played a DOM
mating part not only in the creative
manifestation of art in its various
phases, but in its very development
along definite lines, is attested by
history"
Again, writes Prof. Seifert: ain
tho study of the history of art, one
fact stands out boldly, namely, that
art is, CT seems to be the hand
maiden of religion. Religion is the
motive power which seems to cause
its very creation. The god-idea must
