matrimony. Whoever it touches it
changes.
| Many who go through a war
emerge from it with nothing but
a feeling of resentment for the
time it has taken out Of their
lives or the way it has frustrated
their personal plans.
War teaches others how TO ap-
preciate the deeper joys of living.
That is an odd by product of the
business Of killing.
The most immoral thing about
war is its waste. And / think that
in time this is what you get to
hate most about 1.-THE waste of
life, the waste of food. the waste
of money and metal. Everything
about war is wasteful by neces-
sity. and this fact weighs upon
man more and more. It is a VIC
lation against natural economy,
the inherent urge in everybody
to conserve.
In war you see SO many things
tossed away needlessly that 1t is
hard ever afterward for you to
throw anything away yourself. You
become not so much a miser as a
string-saver.
Most Americans take their food,
clothing and shelter pretty much
for granted. War teaches you how
basic these things really are, and
to be properly grateful for them.
When you have shivered IN a cold
foxhole a few nights, the chance
to sleep in warm bed seems a
blessing almost too wonderful 10
stand.
But while war gives you a real
understanding of primary essenti-
ais 1t also removes a lot Of snob-
bish decisions you may have had
about what you ought TO eat and
where you ought TO live. II teaches
you that anything tastes good when
you are really hungry. and that
any place out of the winds way
Is good enough when you are
really wornout and sleepy.
No man who has known the real
privations Of combat ever again
feels in his heart that he has 10
own a Broom house to be happy.
War kindles a new appreciation
in you for the simple pleasures in
life you always took for granted
before. You learn what things
really hold meaning to you, what
are unimportanl-which goals you
really cling to. which are no longer
worth idly dreaming Of, A sunset
Is a vast thing TO you when you
know II may be the last one you II
ever see.
Patience Is virtue war teaches
TO many. In wartime you have TO
spend so much time Unfortunately
waiting waiting waiting
/. that If you cannot learn 20
curb your impotence you are
likely TO fret yourself into a quick
insanity.
But perhaps the greatest gift Of
war Is the instiiling Of an under.

For a moment it looked as if
Brandeis University was begin

policy of Saturday football games.
But just for a moment. The in

Center of the Southeast"

But in the next breath, the
university announced that it was
changing the date of a game with
American international to be
played on the November 9th date
instead Of in October. So the
Saturday policy still stands.
Brandeis is winding up its first
year of varsity athletics, and con-
sidering the youth of the school,
it was a reasonably successful
year at that. The Judges managed
to win four football games, while
losing five. Basketball was con-
siderably better with the Judges
finishing with a record of Is VIC
tories and nine losses. The devel-
opment in baseball was going
slowly, however. In this sport
Brandeis barely managed to
squeeze out couple of triumphs.
The following is an excerpt
from a Brandeis press release:
"Athletics at Brandeis is a phase
of education and physical better
ment which is woven into the
education and training of a size
able section of the students at the
Waltham school. There has been
no emphasis on sports at Brand
els. Athletes with ability in their
chosen fields of athletic endeavor
have been offered an outlet for
energetic talents and the success
the program has enjoyed has been
remarkable"

Commonwealth Chiefs
Meet 10 Tackle British
Economic Crisis
BY the Associated Press

| LONDON, Nov. '27. - British
Commonwealth Prime Minister
and their deputies gathered here
today in winter weather as bleak
and stormy as the economic prob
lens they will try to solve.
AS heavy snow, gales and ice
gripped much of the British Isles.
the seven Prime Ministers and two
deputies prepared for two weeks
of conferences during which they
hope to work out plans for put
ting the vast Commonwealth on a
paying basis and for increasing
the flow of world trade.
The weather delayed the arrival
of Canada's Louis st. Laurent.
held up last night in Prestwick,
Scotland. Australia'S Robert G..
Menzies and British Foreign Sec
lretary Anthony Eden, were late
because of engine trouble while
flying from New York and did not
arrive until this morning.
Already here to meet with
Britain's Winston Churchill were
Prime Ministers Dudley Senana-
yake of Ceylon, Sidney G. Holland
of New Zealand. Khwaja Nazi-
muddin of Pakistan and Sir God
frey Higgins of Southern Rho
deSia.
Churchill to Represent Colonies.
South African Deputy Prime
Minister N. C. Havenga and In
dian Finance Minister Sir C.
Hintaman Deshmukh came to
represent Prime Ministers Daniel
F. Malan and Jawaharlal Nehru.
Mr.. Churchill will speak for
Britain's colonies at the talks in
the Air Ministry's oak-paneled
conference room in Whitehall.
The Prime Ministers hope to
agree on a master economic plan
in which they can invite all of
nom Communist Europe and then
the United States to cooperate.
Their idea is first to balance
their own books by spending no
more than they can pay for, then
to get world trade moving more
easily. particularly between the
dollar and non-dollar countries.
First Such Farley Since 1892.
The top-level conference.-the
Of its kind since 1932-became
necessary because the Common
wealth has drifted into an i'm
possible situation. Despite its
wealth of natural resources, pro-
duction and capital the powerful
group with more than 500 million
people can earn it's keep in the
world only by drastic import cuts.
War havoc, overspending and cold
war costs all have helped to build
the crisis.
Only Canada dollar coun-
try-has prospered. Australia
Pakistan, India. South Africa and
New Zealand have used up their
savings and borrowed from
Britain to open big new industries
To provide this backing, Britain
has had to borrow from the
United States, from Canada and
even from her own colonies.
Britain and her partners know
that direct American help is no
longer theirs for the asking. Yet
they urgently need new sources
of capital. They have concluded
that the best way of getting more
money is to earn more, save more
and work more.
