Dr. Janney WillDeliver Final Talk

Last Marriage LectureTo Be Given TodayThe final lecture of the spring

series in Professor F. AlexanderMagoun's lecture "course" on mar-riage and its difficulties will be de-voted to a detailed analysis of thebirth of a child. Professor Magounannounced last night that DoctorJames Janney, famous gynocolo-gist, and executive of the MarriageStudy Association, will deliver the|address.|The subject matter will be illus-trated by elaborate slides, and dia-lgrams according to Professor Ma-l

|goun. He made clear the fact thatthe student will leave Huntington|Hall with a complete knowledge of|a vital process; with no illusions of|one that has been long hiddenSunder the veil of prejudice and|

llegend prudery.l[The series, entitled "In Prepara-|tion for Marriage" consisted of four|lectures. The fall series dealt with|the problems preceding marriage,|the present series continued into|the post-marital period. The first|lecture emphasized that the honey- moon is one of the most important|factors toward building a success-|ful marriage. The second lecture|stressed the necessity for correct|emotional adjustments to married|

[life; the third lecture brought home|the fact that many failures in mar-|riage are caused by the partners'|unpreparedness to do an intelligent|home-making job. The birth of a|[baby is, a proper conclusion for thislLpopular group.l

(Editor's note: The material in

this article is taken directly from

a bulletin published by the Office of

Facts and Figures, Washington,

D. C. It is hoped that a more com-

plete knowledge of Axis propa-

ganda techniques will enable think-

ing Americans to recognize and

combat them more readily, and in

this interest the following is writ-

ten.)

The N~azi Terror...Soon after Pearl Harbor, a Nazi

broadcaster to America shouted:

"British naval circles are finding

encouragement in the defeat suf-

fered by the United States!" Cal-

culated to create distrust of our

allies, this Nazi lie, like all Nazi lies,

was part of a vast strategy of ter-

ror. Hitler knows that in order to

conquer the world, he must first

enslave the mind of man, and

toward that end he is carrying out

a program of propaganda, black-

mail, and death. Because he fears

truth, he has tried every means of

wiping it off the f ace of the earth.

Before Hitler attacks any coun-

try, his agents carefully sow seeds

of hate and disunity, turning peo-

ple against their own governments,

governments against their allies,

class against class. These deliber-

ately planted rumors are often

passed on by innocent civilians in

casual conversation.

Before the invasion of Austria,

young Nazi hoodlums were sent

onto the streets to play school-boy

pranks on the police and make

them appear ridiculous in the eyes

of the populace. In the early days

of the war, before France was in-

vaded, morale was lowered by pro-

fessional weepers, clothed in deep

mourning, who wandered into sub-

ways and onto buses in Paris,

spreading the false belief that

French casualties were enormous.

Mothers received mysterious post-

cards informing them that their

sons, at the front, had either been

killed or were deathly ill. In this

gray, anti-Nazi morale was syste-

matically undermined.

The Poisonl Takes Hold...Circulated day after day, worm-

Ing their way into the minds ofFrenchmen, Norwegians. Danes,

Belgians, Austrians, Dutch, Czechs,

and Poles, these rumors created a

feeling of fear and frustration, a

loathing of the war, and a cer-

tainty of defeat. Having weakened

the resistance of his enemies, Hit-

ler was quick to find outlets for

their discontent.

For most evil, the Jews were toblame. Business is bad? Labor isto blame. Wages are low? Capitalis to blame. War is Hell? TheBritish are to blame. Everybody

lTactics in Aumerica .. ."America is permanently on the

brink of revolution," Hitler hassaid. "It will be a simple matterfor me to produce revolts and un-rest in the United States, so thatthese gentry will have their handsfull."

Simple matter? That depends onus, and on how well we profit fromtthe lessons of Europe. We haveseen how Hitler's strategy createdinternal distress in every nation heintended to attack. We haveseen how he undermined civilianmorale, separated governmentsfrom their allies, set group againstgroup. The Nazis are very fond ofthe old "England will fight to thelast American" gag, and they haveused it very effectively in Europe,substituting the name of the par-ticular people they wish to divide inplace of "American."

Whact Hitler Wants Us -To Believe . . e.E

To destroy our national unity,-create unrest in all groups of the-population, and deflect us from ourmajor purpose-the defeat of theAxis-Hitler is trying to set capitalagainst labor, white against Negro,Catholic against Protestant, andChristian against Jew. Among Hit-ler's favorite fallacies are the fol-lowing:

Democracy is dying, our armedforces are weak, we are lost in thePacific, the cost of the war willbankrup , the nation, aid to ourallies must cease, American democ-racy will be lost during the war.

To spread these and other lies.Hitler will try every trick at hiscommand, but thinking Americanswill not be deceived. We are armedwith the truth, and we will crushthe tyrant.

The Or-Else Techniqute ..The night before the invasion of

Norway, the German Ambassadorinvited many prominent Norwe-gians to his home, and showedthem "Baptism by Fire," a movietaken during the invasion ofPoland. Bombed cities, raging fires, -and crushed bodies were pictured-In harrowing detail. Later, over-champagne and a midnight supper,the German Ambassador quietlyobserved that the Poles could havebeen spared this tragedy had theyigranted Hitler's demands.

For years, the Nazis bloodlesslyinvaded the Balkans, sendingcountless German agents armedwith brief cases and impeccable:manners to cultivate the friendshipof business and professional men.

Countless German commercialtravelers abroad were Nazi agents;spreading -the doctrine of Hitler.Some agents wormed their way intothe confidence of cabinet ministers,others worked on newspapermen,still others on persons high infinancial and military circles. Nolayer of society was neglected. Dif-ferent words were chanted to dif-erent groups, but always the tunewas the same: "Hitler cannot lose."

was to blame except Hitler, the

common enemy who would crush

them all, and national unity was

destroyed by setting group against

group.

Slowly, Hitler tried to deaden the

combative spirit of the French

soldier by making him distrust his

British ally. When the French firstcrossed into German territory, the

Germans retired without firing a

shot, leaving behind posters saying

that they had no quarrel with the

French. Wohen French scouting

planes swooped over the German

lines, the Germans stood up and

waved handkerchiefs. Hitler con-vinced the French that the warcould be won without fighting. "De-fense" would triumph! How oftenhave we in America encounteredthat sort of thinking?

htVasiot Tactic's . . .Hitler invades only when his

groundwork of treachery has beenwell laid. During actual invasion,the strategy of terror creates un-told confusion and panic, bothamong civilians and soldiers. Dur-ing the battle of France, Germanbombs and planes were equippedwith screaming sirens and whistles,turning the battlefield into an in-ferno of sound. Seizing Frenchwave lengths, Germnans broadcastfalse warnings to inhabitants ofvillages and towns, driving entirepopulations onto the roads, andclogging them so completely thatFrench reinforcements could notreach the front.

THREE DOLLA RS' WORTH OF SAILINGSpring is officially here and with isadvent comes the anl-

nual debate upon the feasability of joining the Nautical Asso-ciation four those who -neglected to join last fall. By paying hisdues now, a student signifies his intentions of entering into themad race against fifteen hundred other would-be yachtsmen forthe privilege of using one oaf the half-hundred dinghies, pro-vided that he has passed the necessary requirements.

A new member starting out with no previous sailing ex-perience must undergo a waiting period of about two weeksduring which he is initiated into the rules of the yachting pro-fession, and must assimilate the necessary knowledge of winds,and hulls, and sails, and sheets, and knots, and the mysteriousphraseology of the nautical world. The balance sheet for suchan investment shows on1 the debit side an expenditure of threedollars and two weeks of labor and on the credit side the privi-lege of using the dinghies until the first of June. The debits faroutbalance the credits; three dollars and two weeks of study istoo high a price to pay for an immediate return of four weeksof enjoyment in the Tech dinghies, when that same expenditure,if made on the first of June, would permit the student to usethe dinghies for an entire calendar year. Under the presentarrangements, the potential sailor must shoulder this compara-tively tremendous expense or forego the privilege of receivingshore school instruction until the fall of 1942. Such arrange-ments are undoubtedly unf air to the new members of the Naulti-cal Association; they pay their three dollars now to learn tosail and then they must pay another three dollars on June 1 ifthey are to reap any gains from their previous investment.

A simple solution to the problem would be a reorganizedschedule of dues and dates of membership. If a novice's tenureof membership were to begin at the start of each shore schoolsession, he would be guaranteed at least a full year's use of thedinghies. A man registering in the fall would continue as amember until the following autumn, and the individual whotakes up sailing in the spring of the year would receive hisentire three dollars' worth, membership for the year ending atthe next spring season.

INFORMATION PLEASE'With Technology now operating under an accelerated

schedule there have been many changes made about which thestudents, due to some oversight, know very little. There aremany questions with regard to changed schedules, courses, re-quirements and Institute policies which could be cleared up veryquickly if the student knew what sources to consult.

With this in mind The Tech, in cooperation with Instituteauthorities, has arranged to handle all such questions of puzzledstudents through its Letters to the Editor column. In the pastit has been the policy of The Tech to print all signed letters,anonymously if desired, in this column.

The answers to these questions will be officially correct.In each case the proper person will be consulted and the answerwill be finally checked with the News Service before it is givenout. 'Where it is impossible to do this we will make this clear.Thus the student will be able to act on the information withthe full knowledge that he is doing the correct thing.

Of particular interest to the members of the Junior classwill be the summer session schedule, which The Tech will publishin its next issue. Revised course schedules, dates of classes, vaca-tion, etc., and other pertinent information will be printed at thattime. This wtill represent the final decision of the various courseson their summer session schedule and will distinguish between thesubjects for the first and second half of the summer.
