SKYSCRAPER Pa e Three Maurice Leahy Brings Spirit Of Eire to Writers, Inc. I The program said that Maurice Leahy, co-founder of the Catholic Poetry so- Iciety, was coming to the College this Iftar to lecture on the Anglo-Irish Liter- lary movement. What Mr. Leahy ac tually did. however, was to bring for the second time the spirit of a niove- Iment that began in the concept of the Ikeanty and dignity of words and lan- Iguage and grew in the belief that light, Ifreedom, and song are the common heri- jage of all men. It is this light usually a divine liiglit. a light of the spirit this freedom land song that best characterize, ac cording to Mr. Leahy, the movement lliat William Butler Yeats he of the Lake Isle of Innisfrcc started anil lljccirge Russell A. E. from the time he licrawlcd an illegible A. E. on a iiiaiiu- Itfript went into. Let us put into the mouths of people 'icanti 1 ill speech. said Yeats. I-et's have liimple plays that people can understand. I And the first picture of this modern Ir- liih drama, said Mr. Leahy, was a rep resentation of Eire free after eight cen- Ituries of upheaval in the person of the Ibeatitiful Maude Gonne MacBride, who yet walks the streets of Dublin, a woman in her 70 s still young, still beautiful. So Yeats gave the movement its im petus, and the beautiful Countess Cath- leen in 1899, while A. E. created Deidrc Eire as a woman to Ireland what Helen was to the Greeks. And besides that. A. E. gave the movement kinship with the idea of common brotherhood, believing, as he did. that it was every body's duty to look after people, to cre ate the idea of social justice, and to see the love in each other's eyes. In the Anglo-Irish Literary revival (ieorge Russell was the symbol of hope, encouragement, sympathy. To political Ireland, he gave the idea of the coopera tives: to poetry, be gave the philosophy that maintains there is something with in us that can conquer pain. Speaking to Writers Inc., on Oct. 15, Mr. Leahy, familiar contemporary of twentieth-century Fleet Street genius, brought something of their spirit, com mingling the robustness of a Chesterton and a Belloc, with the visionary ideal ism of a Celtic-Twilight Yeats and the litimaiiitari.iiiisiii of an A.E., to cre ate the spirit of a movement.

The indi vidual student works through the student council of his school. These councils, in turn, arc members of the National Federation of Catholic College students.

Jesuit Thinker Asks, Answers, Vital Questions Talks on Uses of Philosophy For Mu Nu Sigma In his address on The Uses of Philoso phy Ix-fore members of Mu Nu Sigma, on Oct. 23, the Reverend John Well- muth, S.J., of the I-oyola philosophy de partment, proposed, and answered, two broad questions: What can the study of philosophy do for me, here and now? and Is there anything I should do to in sure my deriving the advantages afforded by this study? The answer to the first question, ac cording to Father Wellmuth. centers around the word 'why.' Philosophy tells us the why of things, he declared, and, as a study based on the assumption that reality does make sense, philosophy proposes to show how things do make sense. Keep on asking 'why,' Father urged. This desire to know, this habit of con stant questioning, is, ill the opinion of the Jesuit philosopher, the prime requisite for anyone who attempts to avail him self of any of the advantages that the study of philosophy affords and this is the answer to the second question.

Carroll Binder Predicts Danger of Nazi Victory Commerce Club: president, Jean To maso: secretary. Mary Alice Myers; treasurer. Jane Courtney: social chair man. Charlotte Kcpncr. International Relations Club: presi dent, Betty Condren; secretary-treasurer, Marv Marotta. American students should have as much faith in their government as the youth of Germany, Italy, and Japan have in theirs, declared Carroll Binder, foreign edi tor of the Chicago Daily News and former foreign correspondent, who spoke here Oct. 17, on The United States in a World at War. His experience as chief correspondent for the Daily News in London, in com munistic Russia, in fascist Italy, and in Germany at the birth of Nazism, as well as in the Far Fast, has led Mr. Binder to believe that America falls short in ap preciation of the virtues of its govern ment. Directing his remarks to those people who do not believe that the present strug gle will affect Americans. Mr Binder asserted that few Americans can afford to be neutral ill their consideration of the issues involved. Notions to the con trary, he believes, are the result of propa ganda which has been allowed to circu late to lull us into a false sense of se curity. As for the actual outcome of the pres ent struggle, it is the opinion of Mr. Binder that the United States will fare better in the event of a British victory because of common commercial, political, and cultural ties. 'Tn an interview after his lecture, when asked about the Inter-American confer ence at Havana which was attended by the 21 republics of this hemisphere, Mr. Binder spoke of it as the greatest degree of cooperation ever achieved by the republics of America. He further declared that this straightening of Pan- American relations was one of the most significant moves made thus far to aid the U. S. program of national defense. Although he hesitated to paint too gloomy a picture, Mr. Binder believes it necessary to consider the fate of the United States if the fascist powers prevail. Russia, he feels, would offer no opposition to the victorious Fascists, and an invasion of the United States would be possible immediately. The fascist armies might first gain a foot-hold in this hemisphere and then at tack the Panama Canal, which is an ex tremely vital spot, since the U. S. may not have a competent two-ocean navy for four or live years, and since it must be able to use the Canal to transport ships from ocean to ocean. Determined men have persuaded mil lions of people that they will prosper only if democracy is overcome. reported Mr. Binder, and young people under Fascism are taught that their highest destiny lies in being aviators for the state, or mothers of aviators. It is bet ter to be a lion for a day than a lamb for a century is a motto being taught to foreign youth. It is therefore necessary, concluded Mr. Binder, for American students to have a fundamental understanding of the sit uation today, and to safeguard the great values that are theirs.
