complete German victory in
arope adds up to this. We could
alone, or we could capitulate
the Nazis. International trade
and its civilizing function which
iller believed in and advocated
r years, would not be possible in
German-controlled Europe. Dr.
t'hacht, as Nazi Economic Minis
r, taught us better. Miller saw
hat was happening. He framed
x the wall of his Berlin office a
otto taken from Hitler’s favorite
ewspaper: “Justice and good na
naire! Who will win, or will they
all last?
No. 8. Et al. To all those peo
ple who had true loves last year.
Oh-hum. “So easy to remember, so
hard to forget” or visa versa.
Although it is out of our line,
there is a lot of bachelor faculty
members on the campus. That
does not include Dan Brewster or
Geo. Marvin.
“Bubber” Robertson is moving
in the dormitories as usual.
Of course there are a lot of nice
Freshmen girls who are cute and
charming and cute and . Then
all the Freshmen boys seem above
par. Both of them. However, we
can’t mention them as they are not,
how do you say it, “RAT-inized”
as yet.
As far as we are concerned, you
can get mushy if you wanta but
be careful where you sling the
stuff, there are some students in
this school who have the crust to
think they are supposed to study
and not cut classes to hold hands.
So, sh-h-h, don’t disturb them, let
them be happy in their ignorance
and not travel in the highest social
whirl where a drag off a cigarette
will get you a thousand kisses.
But we certainly have to hand
it to the frosh who were sporting
enough to take it without a mur
mur—here’s hoping we have more
of them.
And in conclusion, to the people
who appeared in this column,
apologies for every one mentioned.
They are all nice people but they
believe that college is a place to
make friends and to get an educa
tion instead of a place to sit back
and let the other fellow do all the
work in student organizations and
have all the fun.
Now if you don’t mind, we will
take a back seat on the campus

ture should be limited to one’s
own people.”
The author presents a clear, sim
ple explanation of the mechanics
of Nazi economics. He tells how
the system runs and does not take
time to answer other perplexing
problems such as what makes it
run. He sees the latter as less
important for our purposes than
how the system runs. The devices
of barter, exchange control, clear
ing agreements and export sub
sidies are explained to the satis
faction of the general public. These
devices are not new to business
men who have already tried to do
bdsiness with Hitler.
No punches are pulled by Mr.
Miller in explaining how it has
been that non-German businessmen
have so often contributed to Nazi
success by driving their govern
ments into barter deals which have
nearly always preceded invasion.
Writes Mr. Miller: “The pressure of
producing groups upon the local
governments bested any skeptical
fears about the suitability or avail
ability of German goods in ex
change; furthermore, most of the
producers’ groups were better or
ganized and more vigorous than the
remaining mass of the people.”
Countless illustrations are pres
ented to show how Germany has
traded and will continue to trade
under her present system. Brief
ly, other countries trade entirely
on German terms or not at all. If
they want to sell to Germany, they
must accept in return the goods
Germany offers whether wanted
or not. For instance, an American
firm sold the Germans a press for
making automobile bodies, and re
ceived 200,000 canaries in exchange.
A motion picture concern seeking
payment for its films, accepted a
live hippopotamus as part payment.
Miller’s job originally was to
THE WEST GEORGIAN
clear up the difficulties of Amer
ican firms in Germany. He ended
his stay in Berlin advising an
American businessman in trouble
—always in trouble. His best ad
vise was to close up and leave
Germany; next best, find how much
a Nazi official wohld want to
change in his ruling (Miller says
bribery abounds); finally, remem
ber that a “Nazi firm in similar
circumstances might consider hav
ing the official assassinated.”
For the most part, Mr. Miller
sticks closer to his subject than
the average anti-Nazi pamphleteer.
He does, however, add a grim but
credible forecast of the “new ord
er” in Europe. He calls it a
scientific slave state. Its outlines
are already clear in Poland and
southeastern Europe. Professor
Miller is convinced America can
not remain isolated. “Hitler’s con
quest is only partial and incom
plete,” he concludes, “until we are
brought into his world system.”

Melson Hall Men
Plan Organization
Men of Melson Hall are to have
a Dormitory Council, Dr. Charles
Clark announced at the first house
meeting of the year last Monday
night.
Dr. Clark suggested that there
be a president, vice-president, secre
tary and treasurer, and a repres
entative from each of the six wings
of the dormitory elected by the en
tire group to form an executive
council. Each representative will
be elected by the men in his wing.
The boys really approved of
these plans and seemed to be in a
spirit of cooperation in ironing out
knots in the dormitory life.
In this organization everyone will
be able to express his opinion.
When some small problem is to be
solved, it will be carried to the
wing representative and if it can
not be worked out there, the rep
resentative will carry it to the
Dormitory Council.
The men of Melson Hall plan
to sponsor a dance and probably
an athletic contest to raise money
for necessary expenditures. The
boys are to be given two or three
weeks to think it over before an
other house meeting is called and
plans are completed.

their faces and arms painted in
red, and each carrying a suitcase.
The program of the day began with
President Ingram’s little daughter,
Anne, performing a dainty ballet.
“Rat” Mildred Washington from
home scrubbed the monument on
the square with a toothbrush while
Jean Dodd and “Dickie” Veal pitch
ed a fit, West Georgia style, for the
benefit of the horrified onlook
ers. “Rat” Veal was also made
traffic cop to solve the jig-saw puz
zle created by automobiles which
had accumulated on the square
to observe the circus of painted
and trained “rats”. Finally the
girls were released after such a
strenuous ordeal to walk back to
the .campus with the young men of
their choice—limited choice—the
boys ducked for cover, too.
“All’s well that ends well,” I’ve
often heard. It goes without say
ing that the freshmen are O. K. —
the “Rat Parades” were perfect!
Fifty girls will soon be enroll
ed from Montgomery County and
will learn a defense trade in gar
ment manufacturing, making a
total of approximately two hundred
youths working at the N. Y. A.
project.
