OXNAM BEHIND CHURCH STAND ON RJ. T. C. Preparedness Leads to War, Declares University President. Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, De Pauw university president, was instrumental in the Methodist Episcopal church's adoption of a resolution attacking military training in colleges, it was revealed to The Times today. It was this resolution to which Dr. Oxnam persistently has referred as a reason for abolishing the R. O. X. C. corps on the De Pauw campus. The university board of trustees recently voted to request the war department to withdraw the unfit after a heated battle between Dr. Oxnam and influential alumni which has waged for several years. The proclamation drawn up by the world peace commission of the church reads: “Compulsory military training perpetuates the ideals and methods of the battlefield in many a school and college. The sundry' fears and hatred of citizens are being capitalized by professional pessimists in the name of patriotism." Stand Taken in 1938 Dr. Oxnam was secretary of the commission and his stand against militaristic activities have enhanced his popularity greatly in the church, it was learned. “Military preparedness is preparedness for war,’’ Dr. Oxnam declared before the De Pauw’ faculty Nov. 6, 1928. “While affirming hatred for war, the advocates of military preparedness creates a mind-set that assumes its inevitability. “I am opposed to compulsory’ military training upon * patriotic grounds. To compel the college men of America to take military’ training approaches dangerously near to class legislation.” This stand was taken by Dr. Oxnam at a time when the attitude was more popular than it is now, as war clouds hover over Europe and as the United States administration favors a preparedness program in light of European mass military education. Accused of Sabotage Since then. Dr. Oxnam has been comparatively silent on the question of preparedness, it was learned, and has stressed an international peace view’. This turn was interpreted by observers as necessitated by the ire of influential alumni. Although Dr. Oxnam has pointed out the horrors of war, he, himself, was not in service. Compulsory military training at De Pauw was banned in 1928 by an arbitrary’ edict of the university. He continued his drive against the unit and this summer was accused by General George Van Horn Mosely. then fifth corps area commander, of “sabotaging” the military training course.

2T6GDK AW | BY BRUCE CAITQN r | -'HOSE lengthy English novels j which follow a family’s forI tunes, and make a whole clan instead of just an individual the hero, sometimes are rather tiresome, but they are at least substantial and meaty. If you have the endurance to get through them, they give you a sense of the continuity of life in an old society, which American novels seldom convey. A fair example of this kind of book is “Bredon and Sons,” by Neil Bell. This novel tells about the Bredon family, boat-builders, who have flourished in the little east-coast English town of Senwich for upwards of two centuries, honest craftsmen who build good boats, prosper moderately, and prize the family’s reputation for hohesty and fine workmanship above all other things. The story covers a century family’s history. We get acquainted with the successive heads of the family—solid, slow-thinking, rather obstinate men. slow’ to change, unyielding in their family pride—and we see how changing times inexorably change the very nature of the family. The business falls off. killed by the rose of the mechanical era. Adaptation becomes necessary for a family that never has had to adapt itself to change. The boat-builders branch out; one wing presently is building airplanes, the other goes farther afield and akes to manufacturing raincoats. And while this brings greater riches than the Bredons ever had before, the old virtues slowly vanish The stock thins out. Grown wealthy, the Bredons nevertheless lose their old moorings. At the end w r e see the family dying, its final generation fumbling ineffectively to meet the challenge of modern life. Published by Little, Brown & Cos., the book is prtaed at $2.50.
