KERNEL STAFF

Jaszi, Hungarian
Profssor Oscar
political leader and liberalist, spoke in
the chapel of the University of Kentucky Monday and Tuesday afternoons at 3:30 o'clock.
He voiced the idea that Europe is
headed for another war with a termination which will perhaps be more
disastrous than any previous war in
Central Europe. "A new mediaeval
spirit is spreading over the whole of
Europe, which scoffs at all international morality and regards force as
the final tribunal," the speaker said.
According to Professor Jaszi, war
or the adoption of the Anglo-Saxo- n
idea of League confederation of states
by the countries of the Danube, will
be the only way out of the political
and economic struggle in Central
Europe.
Speaking from first hand knowledge,
a Hungarian and living in Hungary
until exiled five years ago because of
political tenets, Professor Jaszi said:
Hungarian Situation is Key
"The situation in Hungary is the
key to the central European problem
and, as such, should be of keen interest to those concerned in the political
and economic welfare of the middle
empires."
In speaking of Hungary's importance
in central Europe, he said that Hungary today is being ruled by the military class which is seeking and hoping
for war and the restoration of the
Hapsiburg dynasty.
The central European trouble has!
its roots in the economic and moral
collapse of its people after the war
and in the tearing asunder of the coun-

compelled to retire from active service
on account of advanced years, was recently started on the campus. The
plan is as yet in its infancy and no definite steps have been taken except a
mere discussion of a means by which
a fund may be established.
The general conception of the plan
is to have various professors donate a
small sum. probably five dollars a
month, to a fund which will be placed
on interest.
As a professor reaches
the age limit this will be used to pay
such parts of the annual salaries as
the plan will permit. Professor Leland,
of Economics Department, has been
asked to work out mathematically a
plan for the best handling of such
funds. The scheme contemplates also,
asking the University to match the
funds thus collected' with the appropriation of an equal sum. The problem is considered by members of the
faculty as one of great interest and
will require considerable study and
work before it can be submitted. It
is hoped that the plan will be ready
to present to the entire faculty during
the current semester.
This is the first plan of its kind considered in any University or College.
