CANTOR'S PEACE ESSAY IS AROUSING COLLEGES

Themes May Offer Practical Idea for Keeping America Out of War, States Stanford Daily in Praise

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Eddie Cantor's $5,000 scholarship competition, the subject of which is an essay question: "How Can America Stay Out Of War", is arousing much interest and comment in colleges and universities, especially through the Middle West.

Illini Suggests Class Discussion

The Daily Illini, campus publication at the University of Illinois, first made the suggestion that the subject be discussed thoroughly in the classroom. The idea was enthusiastically backed by Robert M. Hutchins, president of the University of Chicago, who declared he would favor such a program in his institution.

The Stanford Daily editorially commended the radio comedian for his efforts to promote peace, remarking:

"Both Cantor's purpose and his sentiments in sponsoring the contest deserves support. The essays submitted may furnish a constructive and practical suggestion for insuring American non-participation in a future world war."
