No Alternative Course.
There is no alternative course
except the abandonment of free
dom itself. because the Soviet
Union has no compassion for
weakness. Our hope must. there

selves and our friends which the

mand the best and most that
every free nation can contribute.
and in this effort. the Mutual
Defense Assistance Program is in
dispensable.
In itself, the program is not
a panacea which will cure the

hopes by encouraging belief
that it can alone or overnight
create the entire foundation for
an adequate defense.
Combined. however. with the
tireless efforts of all free nations,
and with our own contributions
in other fields. the objective be-
comes attainable. Without the
program. the goal is beyond our
reach.
Must Take Initiative.
We. the free nations, must
take the initiative. The momen-
tum already gained must under
no circumstance be lost, because,
once lost. it is doubtful that it
can ever be recaptured at any
cost. Hesitation now might
strike a fatal blow at all our
efforts to create the kind of
peace which the free world seeks
and would lessen our chances OF
continuing to live and work in
freedom.
The task will involve sacrifice

Truman Arms Aid Texts .

The terts Of President Tru-
mans letter to Congress trans
mitting the first sir months
report on the foreign arms aid
program. together tUith the con-
clusions drawn in the report
itself:
To the Congress Of the United
States:
Pursuant to the provisions Of
Public Law 329 (Slst Congress,
1st session, So Stat. 7l4o, I sub
NIT herewith the first semi
annual report on the Mutual De-
fense Assistance Program. cover
ing the period from the inception
of the program to April 6. 1850.
BY it's enactment of the Mutual
Defense Assistance Act of 1949,
and by its earlier provision of
aid for Greece and Turkey, the
Congress of the United States
recognized that the security of
the United States required a
strengthening of the will and
ability of certain free nations to
resist the aggression with which
they were threatened.
The preservation of world peace
in a form which free peoples
could accept depended then, as
it depends now. upon the physical
capacity and moral determina-
ton of the free world to stem
those forces which seek to cloak
the whole earth with the mantle
Of totalitarianiSm.
The Mutual Defense Assistance
Program represents one part of
our effort to assist in the develop
ment OF this essential capacity
and determination and. as the
attached report clearly demon
strates, is, and must continue to
be, an integral part of the total
foreign policy of the United
States.
HARRY S. TRUMAN.
CONCLUSIONS:
The foregoing facts conclusive
ly demonstrate the necessity of
continuing the Mutual Defense
Assistance Program in order to
maintain peace under conditions
which free men can tolerate. In
the world as we find it today, this
program is unfortunately one of
those several measures which are
indispensable to the defense of
our liberties and to the preserva-
ton of the freedom, common
heritage and civilization of our
people.
The ability of democracy to
survive now depends upon the
ability of democracy to defend
itself. The Soviet Union has
dedicated itself to the destruction
OF democracy and everything
which it represents, and is waging
grim struggle to make the en-
tire free world slave. No nation
can be neutral. for a serious out
break anywhere on earth in

sequently, the task Of increasing

First Shdkespedredn
Play Staged In 1912

In the year of 1912, when Bluffton
College was fairly new institution,
group of students under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Edison Mosiman pre-
sented the first Shakespearean play
to be produced on the campus. The
play, A Midsummer Night Dream,
was to have been given on the cam
pus but the dampness Of weather
forbade it, and therefore was pre-
sented in town hall.
Effie Lantz, as Puck, seems to
be the most remembered of the cast.
The other characters consisted of:
Tobias M. Boese as Starveling,
C. A. Biery as Theseus, A. j. Neu-
enschwander as Egeus, Orlin Schu-
lnacher as Philostrate, H. w. Zeur-
cher as Ounce, p. p. Springer as
Snug.

Helena, Ellis Springer as Oberon,
Clarence Stutzman as Lysander.
A. J. Albrecht as Demetrius, Inez
Doty as Titania, Sylvia Tschantz as
Peasblossom, Ina Schlatter as Cob
web, Luella Liechty as Moth, Elvina
Schumacher as Mustardseed.
SHAKEsPEAREAN DRAMAS
Since 1912 the dramatic minded
people have gone on to produce
through the years other of William
|Shakespeare's comedies such as "Tam-
ing of the Shrew,s Twelfth Night"
Merchant of Venice" and "As You
Like It." Tradition speaks in that
these plays were given on May Day,
however, this has not been a tradi-
ton that follows year after year. In
preceding years the plays have been
given on the baseball field weather
permitting, if not they were taken
to the high school although they have
been produced in the high school in
order to accommodate the people
and for better staging effects.

Opening on November 5, 1900, as
Central Mennonite College, it has
grown from an institution of junior
college rank with four teachers, one
building, and nineteen students to
twenty-three full-time faculty mem
bers and twelve part-time instructors,
twelve buildings, and an enrolment
of two hundred and fifty.
The college was originally found
ed by the Middle District Conference
of the General Conference of Men
nonites of North America, whose
leaders carried the strong conviction
that a school was needed to educate
its own young people and to train
its workers.
Seminary Added
When, in 1913, the decision was
made to establish Biblical Semin-
airy in connection with the college,
several other branches of the Men
monte church also cooperated and
contributed to the undertaking and
have been represented in the organ
ization and student body of the col
lege since then. This seminary was
incorporated into separate institu-
tion, known as Witmarsum Seminary,
in 1921.
Legal existence of Bluffton College
as such began on January 27, 1914,
when the property of Central Men
monte College was transferred to
Bluffton College and Mennonite Sem
mary. The institution was organized
as a group of three schools, each
having its own dean.
n. Z. Byers was dean of the Col
lege of Liberal Arts; J. H. Langen-
walter, dean of the Mennonite Semin-
ary; and G. A. Lehman headed the
School of Music. 1t was also during
1914 that Ropp Hall, Science Hall,
and the heating plant We're added to
the college buildings.
Library in 1929
Music Hall and the Health Center
had been purchased in 1910. In 1916
the Barn was built through student
and faculty labor, and in 1929 the
construction of the library was made
possible through the gift of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. H. Musselman of Biglers-
vile, Pa. This library, with its fine
educational facilities, has become the

Negroes Make Grade
lin Wall Street

CHICAGO = Stock brokers are
engaged in an aggressive campaign
to persuade Negroes to invest their
money in stocks with the result
that today there are more colored
investors in Wall Street than ever
before in the history of American
finance, according to an article
in the current issue of Ebony,
Negro picture magazine.
The magazine reports that along
with the trend to open up the
potential Negro investment mar
ket, Negro securities men are be-
ing added to brokerage firm staffS.
"At least a half dozen Negroes
have won .stock-selling jobs with
recognized brokerage firms in the
past year," says Ebony.
Tops among the new crop of
Negro securities statesmen is Law
renee Lewis, with Abraham and
Company. Lewis, list of clients =
of whom 40 percent are white =
averages $4,000 in stock transac-
tions weekly. Negroes for the most
part are investing in safe, sound
securities, though some dream of
following in the spectacular foot
steps of H. R. George, once con-
sidered the richest Negro in New
York and who had long Packards
with Pullman-type sleeping ac-
commodations and an ice box. He
went bankrupt in 1929.
Lewis considers the Negro mar
ket Fabulous and completely wide
open."
Ebony points out efforts of some
brokerage firms to attract Negro
customers by opening branch Of
fices in Harlem have failed. Some
believe the failure due not only
to lack of investment knowledge
by Negroes but also the desire of
Negroes with money to go direct
ly to Wall Street to buy stocks
rather than to a Jim Crow office
in Harlem" says the magazine.
