Mrs. Louis Slade
Lectures on Far East



World’s Great Issues Must be
Determined by Countries
Around Pacific



CHINA IS HOMOGENEOUS



“The crisis of future world history
will lie around the Pacific,” said Mrs.
F. Louis Slade, beginning the fourth
of the Anna Howard Shaw Memorial
Lectures in Goodhart Hall, Monday
night, November 20, on The Far
East. America is a Pacific country;
it belongs more on the Pacific than
on the Atlantic; and it is time that
Americans stopped looking at the Pa-
cific with European eyes, and took
the first, step in putting down
the wall which they have set up to
separate themselves from their Ori-
ental neighbors, China and Japan.

Chinese history traces- back to
2500 B. C., when the Emperor Fu
Hsi invented fishing, hunting, hiero-
glyphics, and marriage. By ' 760
B. C., the year of a famous eclipse,
the Chinese had become settled in
their ways, and current ideas were
much as they are today. Confucius
was not. an original thinker, but the
codifier of Chinese thought.

One of the secrets of the greatness
of China is- its homogeneity, The
people were held together by a uni-
versal way of life. The Emperor was
the Son of Heaven; he ruled China
and the people of China ruled them- |
selves. They paid their taxes and
desired to be free of all governmental
cares. If. the taxes became too se-
vere, they overthrew a dynasty.
When northern invaders threatened
their integrity, they built a. Great
Wall the length of their western bor-
der. China went on.

Japanese history begins 1600 years
after that of China. One of the(first
things recorded of Japan is an’ at-
tempt to take Korea. The Japanese,
unlike the Chinese, were eager to firid
out the doings of other peoples; they
were great observers and assimilat-
fa eee

During the nifteenth and sixteenth
centuries, Japan attenipted to capture
China, and succeeded in taking much
of what is now Korea and Manchuria.
By the seventeenth .century, she had
developed a great military civiliza-
tion, a narrow nationalism which held
sway until America broke in upon it,
under Perry, in 1853. The next fifty
years tell the great story of how
Japan remade herself into a western
nation, measuring up , to western
standards.

The. Chinese and Koreans’ despised
Japan for her westernization;— that
they had underestimated it appeared
in the outcome of the Chino-Japanese
war in 1894, when the Japanese
troops wiped out the army of a na-

Standards of Living



Fairchild Discusses State
Agrarian and Industrial
Organization

Dr.



WAGES ARE GENEROUS



“The ‘standard of living. of the
masses of the people is the foremost
concern of the Soviet state,’ declar-
ed Dr. Fairchild, conducting a Dean-
ery conference Tuesday, November
14, on The Social and Economic Or-
ganization of Russia at the End of
the First Five-Year Plan. It is in
order to assure every worker a fair
share of the national income that the
government undertakes to own and
direct the means of production.

At the end of the first First Five-
Year Plan, 95 per cent. of Russian
.ndustry is owned outright by the
government, and 75 per cent. of -Rus-
sian agriculture is conducted on great
collective farms which rent machin-
ery from government tractor stations
and are controlled by government po-
litical organizations.

Government direction of economic
activity allows the Soviet to plan for
the welfare of the people as a whole.
Wages are made as generous as pos-
sible, instead .of being fixed at a
minimum living wage plus the mar-
ket price of. labor, as in the United
States under the NRA. The total
Russian payrolls are in proportion to
the total production, and prices are
determined solely by the cost of pro-
duction, Because the whole nation,
acts as a unit, the U. S, S. RB. can
introduce labor-saving machinery and
at: the same time increase wages and
shorten hours without creating un-
employment.

In seeking to extend its control over
agriculture, Russia has, however, en-
countered formidable problems. The
peasants, having taken over the land
from their former masters, resented
zovernment interference. By 1928 the
kulaks had increased agricultural
production, but the government had
no voice in determining what crops
should be sown, and loyal Commun-
ists asserted that the kulaks, who
made big profits in the open market,
were reviving capitalism.

On the other hand, the collective
farms, which were organized to offset
this danger, have not been entirely
successful; the technique of large
scale agricultural management must
still be worked out. Peasant dissat-

Heartbreak House Is

Staged in Goodhart|



te ig Speeches Unrelieved by
“Action Render Shaw’s Play

Unsatisfactory

penis “IS UNFEELING





The Hedgerow Players’ presenta-
tion of Shaw’s Heertbreak House last
Tuesday night was the worst_per-
formance of any vlay that has de-
filed the boards of Goodhart Hall in
the memory of the present under-
graduates. It is hard to criticise the
play as it was presented, for there
was no play. It is even harder to
criticise the acting, for when Mr.
Deeter was not on the stage, there
was no acting. It is impossible to
say that the tempo or the action was
too slow, for there was no tempo and
almost no action.

Heartbreak House is described by
Shaw as “a fantasia in the Russian
manner on English themes.’ That
explains a great d He is°satiriz-
ing the Russian fdndness for placing
strangely-behaved people in a. de-
pressing atmosphere, which. makes
them .behave even more strangely;
and for making each character not
only frankly discuss His most secret
faults and emotions, but expound in-
terminable theories about life and
the theme of the play. Shaw’s char-
acters were certainly strangely-be-
haved and placed in a most depress-
ing atmosphere: the startling treat-
ment of the guest from whose unwill-
ing hands cups of tea were wrested
while the woesof the house ‘of Shot-
over weré poured upon her head,
created a Russian atmosphere at
once. Nothing was sacred in fhe con-
versations between the characters:
their proclivities for lying and their
love lives were discussed with equal
zest and frankness. Everyone who
saw Heartbreak House was only too
willing to lament the interminable
monotony of the pseudo- Russian con-
versations.

Although the idea and some of the
lines of the play were memorably
funny, it was difficult to maintain in-
terest in it. In an interesting play,
some character is usually striving
against opposition to gain his desire.
The only character in , Heartbreak
House who was striving to gain any
end at all was the young girl, Ellie
Dunn; in the first act it was explain-
ed that she did not want to marry
her fiance, who was much older than
she, because she was in love with a
younger man whose name she did not
know; but also in the: first act she
discovered that the man she loved
was. Hector Hushabye, the husband
of her hostess. She was so heart-
broken over this discovery that she
ceased to care about anything and
decided to marry her § fiance, Boss
Mangan. He created a little opposi-
tion because Hesione Hushabye had
made him fall in love with her, in an
effort to keep Ellie from having to
marry him. At the end of the scene,
however, he consented to marry Ellie,
and with his consent died ‘all the ele-
ment of conflict in*the play,

The only remaining action was ad-
ventitiously supplied by a burglary
and an air raid. There was no more
action resulting from a conflict be-
tween the characters and force pre-
venting them from obtaining their
desires; for none of the characters
but Ellie ever had any desires and

Faculty Books

In connection with the arti-
cle in last week’s News on the
recent publications of the fac-
.ulty and the projects in which
they are now engaged, the edi-
tors wish to state that the basis
for the information was the
‘questionnaires. recently sent
out by the Publications Office.
Some of the faculty who have
done most distinguished work
in their departments have not
yet filled in and returned the -
questionnaires and therefore
no mention of their work: was -
made in the article. It is plan-
ned to. run a_ sipplementary
article as soon as all the forms
have been filed. Also the plan
was to deal only with the re-
cent work of the faculty, and
therefore no mention was made
of the books and publications
which have appeared prior to
the present year.







Little Women Provokes
Enthusiastic Response



Last Sunday’s preview of Little
Women, Katherine Hepburn’s latest
movie vehicle, at the Stanley Theatre
in. Philadelphia, gave proof positive
of its “box-office appeal.” The the-
atre was filled row onrow with rath-
er hard-faced men and their mates,
at first sight an unpromising audi-
ence for a Louisa May Alcott movie.
It scarcely seemed possible that they
had read Little Women in childhood
and were about to engage in tender
reminiscences of it. We anticpated
an uncomfortable two hours sur-
rounded by a sneering audience. But
uch was the potent charm of the
movie that in record time the theatre
was swept with enthusiasm. Noses
were blown at the appropriate mo-
ments; no one laughed at Beth’s in-
pired saccharinity; and all, ‘includ-
ing us, succumbed to the refreshing
influence of the March family for an
hour and a half,

Probably Katherine Hepburn will
never find a role more suited to her
peculiar combination of frolic and
exotic charm, nor Jo March, a more
inspired interpreter of her wayward
character. From the point at which
we. see her reading aloud to Aunt
March to the final fadeout with Pro-
fessor Bhaer, her acting has the per-
fection of art, premeditated yet
sound. One smal] scene in her first
-all at Larry’s house was memorable,
the presentation of Meg’s _ blanc-
mange and Beth’s basket of kittens.
She has done the same type of thing
before, as in the office scene in Morn-
ing Glory, but this surpassed all pre-
“vious” performances. Her acting of
the quick plunges, blurts, and false
starts in meeting and understanding
a new person came from the heart,
not from the diaphragm. The idiotic
hoot with which she finished her po-
lite self-introducticn was a master-
piece in itself.

Although Miss Hepburn 1s not only
announced as the star of Little
Women, but actually plays up to a
stellar pitch, a good supporting cast
was essential and was forthcoming.
The other. actors were very adequate
in spite of the fact that none of them
played well enough to dispute Miss
Hepburn’s dominance of the picture.
Joan Bennett, as Amy, was. good
enough to be called more than ade-
quate, but as her role is typed and
none too attractive, it did not offer
any wide opportunities for acting.
The hardest part; that of Beth, was
done by Jean Parker in a cloying man-
ner, yet that again is as Louisa May
Alcott ,would have wished it. The
only line we objected to was one
chirped by Miss Parker when Jo and
Amy were springing at each other’s
throat—“Birds in their little nests
agree.” That might conceivably have
been changed.

Mrs. March, Marmee, was_ the
least satisfactory person of the cast.
It seemed almost. impossible that she
could have produced’ the - four

Interview on F, P. A.

Major Issues



BASIS OF FACT NEEDED

In an interview with the News last
Thursday, Mrs. Vera Micheles Dean
gave an illuminating. outline of requi-
sites for work in the Foreign Policy

| Association, with especial reference

to her own career. ,

“My” preparation for college was
most unorthodox,” said Mrs. Dean.
“A business course in Boston was the
only regular schooling I had had. You
will think me very ignorant not to
have gone to school; but I was taught
by tutors in Russia, acquiring a thor-
ough knowledge of the’ modern lan-
guages. My family left Russia for
Finland in ‘1917, before the Bolshevik
party. got_control...There_I- lived for
two years, when my father, who was
optimistic enough to look forward to
a restoration in Russia, sent me to
America to learn business fmethods
and equip myself to enter his firm.

“After taking the business course
in Boston ’and holding’ several secre-
tarial positions, I decided that I must
have a college education. I was ad-
mitted to Radcliffe as a ‘special case’
and majored in government and poli-
tics.” At the end of her four years
at Radcliffe, Mrs. Dean was award-
ed the Carnegie Endowment Fellow-
ship, which took her to Yale to study
International Relations for a year.
Radcliffe then invited her back to
take a Ph.D.; but her actual work
on the thesis, Governments de Facto,
with Special Reference to the Soviet
had to be done .devious-
ly. The material needed for the sub-
ject was in the Harvard Law _ Li-
brary, where women are not allowed
to study, however nicely they behave.
Mrs. Dean, after pulling a few
strings, got inside this male sanctu-
ary and found a quiet and presum-
ably safe place in the stacks.._There
she worked for a year until the mat-
ter was reported to Dean Pound. He
soon put a stop to this breach of. law
and order, and she was firmly eject-
ed, However; although Mrs. Dean
had worked only a year on her the-
sis, she had gathered:all-the mate-
rial she needed and could accept the
expulsion with reasonable equanim-
ity.

After getting a Ph.D. in 1928, Mrs.
Dean entered the Foreign Policy As
sociation, where a former professor
of hers, Dr. Buell, edited the publi-
cations and headed the research staff.
Her qualifications. for..the—position
were a knowledge of the social sci-
ences, facility in dealing with a vari-
ety of. literature developed while
working for a Ph.D., and familiarity
with four languages—French, Ger-
man, Russian, and Italian. When
asked if such an extensive equipment
were necessary for all applicants,
Mrs. Dean said that at least a year

Although the faculty have always been extremely gracious in
their reception of the editorial moans and groans which ayise from
time to time, they have never. been so speedy to accept our supplica- |
tions as in the case of the pleas which were published last week. The
professors not only accepted our editorials in the spirit in which they
were written, but backed up their claim to a sense of humor by lending
more than an amused ear to it all.: As a consequence students report
a revision of the work assigned in several courses, and in one instance
a professor even went so far as to alter a quiz to be given in the near
future. Every member of the faculty has been more than willing to

tion of the play. Although Lady Ut-

deserves great credit for her attempt

to point up the Bohemian atmosphere

of the house through showing her dis-
gust with it; the stage, however, was
so dead that her disgust seemed exag-

Mr. Deeter’s portrayal of Captain
Shotover, Hesione’s father, was so
good that the other acting seemed by
comparison even poorer than it was.
Whenever he was on the stage, the
audience became interested in the
play and the tempo rose. His voice,
his walk, his makeup, and his every
gesture were in character, and, un-
like the others, he seemed to under-
stand his part and to have the abil-
ity to play it. The character of El-
lie’s father, although a rather minor
and ineffectual part, was fairly well
done; Mr. Walton, like Mr. Deeter,
remained in character, and was, fur-
thermore, the only member of the
cast to maintain consistently clear
diction. He was rewarded by the
gratitude of the entire audience. Mr.
Gatchell’s portrayal of Boss Mangan
was good in that he gave the neces-
sary impression of being essentially
unattractive; in the hypnotism scene.
of the second act, his acting was in-
telligent and expressive, but by the
third act, it had been so affected by
the unco-ordinated, disjunctive acting
of the others, that his departure for
the gravel pit, where he was blown
up, was almost unnoticed.

The play seemed to have had little
direction. In the last act, the char-
acters drew themselves up side by
side in a straight line across - the
stage, with their eyes and _ feet
straight ahead, and talked yet again.
They were obscured by an almost

‘total darkness, so that their voices

issued from the gloom not only un-
intelligibly but mysteriously. The au-
dience had no idea what the actors
were doing, and the actors did noth-
ing to enlighten them. Perhaps the
most pertinent criticism possible of
the third act, which might well be
applied to the play as a whole, was
uttered by an elderly lady as the cur-
tain rose on the dark stage: “Oh,
look, they seem to be in a fog!”

The men of Little Women were, of
course, overShadowed by the female
interest, but all of them—Larry, his
grandfather, and Prufessor Bhaer —
were fond and attractive guardians
for the March women. Larry was _
acted nicely by Douglass. Montgomery

we liked him even after he had gone

reconciled us by his bluff and fasci-

Musical Service

The evening service of Sunday, No-

capacity. It was a service of 16th
and 17th century music from begin-
ning to end, even the hymn tunes
having been written in that period.
It seemed a fitting occasion to insti-
tute the new hymnals, which have
been needed for such a long time. Af-
ter serious consideration Mr. Wil-
loughby chose the Oxford American

its beautiful blue binding as well as
by its contents. '

The choir sang both accompanied
and unaccompanied selections, which,
like the organ solos, were varied and
beautifully rendered.

Varsity Wins Game

Bryn Mawr Keeps Opponents on
Defensive for Greater
Part of Play

SECOND



TEAM WINS



In a fast game played on Thursday
afternoon in below freezing weather,
Varsity defeated Rosemont, 7-0. With

only a few exceptions, play centered
in the Rosemont ‘half of the windy
field. y

Soon after the beginning of the
game, Kent started the afternoon’s
scoring with a well-placed shot to the
corner of the goal. Varsity contin-
ued to press the offense and the Rose-
mont goalie was kept busy stopping

. the vigorous, if not always effective,
rush of the Bryn Mawr forwards.

The backfield was seldom on the
defensive, its chief work being to
back up the attack,—a welcome re-
spite from its hard work in the previ-
ous games. A goal by Taggart and
one by Faeth were followed’ closely
by Larned’s score from scrimmage.

‘The Rosemont backs cleared the ball

to the wings, who carried it several)

‘times into Bryn Mawr territory, only
‘to find the attack -halted before the
Bryn Mawr goal-keeper was reached.
The second half found Varsity con-
tinuing the attack, but with less suc-
cess. The co-operation between the
forwards was not up to the excellent
performance of the first half. The
‘backfield was kept busy by deter-
mined ‘Rosemont drives, which nearly
resulted in scores. Despite the fine
defense work of Durning, the Rose-
mont goal, Varsity accounted for two
more goals before the whistle blew.
The line-up was as follows:

Russia is Governed =
by Communist Party
Sissies Lead Dieesision 1a

Russian Diplomacy and
Political Set-Up

7 REPUBLICS IN UNION





Speaking in the Deanery last
Thursday, Mrs.. Dean gave a resume
of the political set-up in the Soviet
Union and discussed Soviet foreign
policy.

The real power in Soviet Russia
is held by a party not mentioned in
- the Gonstitution:—that of the Com-
munists.-. As in- the case of the Fas-
cist party, the Communist party is
the only political group legally func-
tioning in the government.

The party now has a membership
ef about one million and a_ half
adults. There are nevertheless about
10 million Communists among the 160
million Russians, if the -Konsumal,
18-21 years old, the young Pioneers,
14-18 years old, and the Octoberists,
up to 14 years of age, are counted.

An examination on the aims and
achievements of the government must.
be passed by everyone who wishes
tv enter the party. The candidate |
studies a sort -of “political gram-;
mar.” His character and career are
above all taken into account. Many;
people who would have been admit-
ted to the party for unimpeachable
political conduct hesitate to under-
take to live up to the personal and
civic standards of .life required by!
the Communists. “Communists are
supposed to set an example to the
population both as. citizens and as
human beings.” They are the “shock
troops” to be counted on by the



government in all emergencies. The...

coma



whole party is subjected to periodic
“purges” from within, in the course;
of which the personal and political |

record of each member is scrutinized. |

|

About 50 per cent. of the party

consists of workers, 10 per cent.|
of peasants, and the rest of intel-|
lectuals. This is a reasonable pez-
centage, for the Bolshevist group!
made its start in the factories. Sta-|
lin himself was a worker. Since Len- |
in’s death and Trotsky’s exile, most |
of the leaders of Russia have been |
workers.
The government feels that indus-|
trial workers are the most natural |
leaders and therefore usually selects |
them for office. © Consequently. the |
Soviet state can be criticized in that!
it is distinctly a class ‘state. poids:
trial workers still form a minority in)
comparison to the agricultural pop-|
ulation. Stalin, however, has made}
the point that a strong government
is needed to make the step between |
Capitalism and Communism. There |
is no hypocrisy about it.
There is one representative for |
25,000 workers, although the peas-|
ants have but one for each 125,000.
The workers vote directly, the peas-|
ants indirectly, through some inter-|
mediary body. About 54 per cent.|
of the Union Congress is made up of,
workers, 26 per cent. of peasants, |
and the rest of intellectuals. .Seven-
ty-five per cent. of the members of |
the Congress are Communists.
Party cells, consisting of three or!
more members, in factories, villages,
or wherever there is an organized
-government, are the Official mouth-
pieces of the party. Before the show
of hands, which opens the elections,
these cells explain the issues. A slate
is then put up of candidates for elec-
tion, predominately Communists.
Other nominees can be suggested, but
the slate is usually elected. The
whole tendency in Russia teday is to
place the country on a functional
rather than a geographical basis of
election. Consequently, if organized
workers vote in their institutions,
such as factory workers in their fac-
tory, they can better control the ac-
tions of their delegate when he re-
‘turns from the Union Congress.
_Elections—start-at-the— bottom _of

the system in the U. S. S. R. and}.

pyramid up to a centralized power.
Franchise is given only to the “toil-
ing masses.” The .disfranchised,—
about 8 million strong,—include those
who hire laborers for profit and those
who produce nothing either intellect-
ually or by physical work. Discrimi-

admitted in schools. There were sad|

cases even two or three years ago
of children’s repudiating their par-
ents because of their beliefs.

The administrative machinery , of
Soviet.-Russia—is-frictionless...The
party prides itself on maintaining
one distinct line of policy at one
time:—the “Party Line.” Discussion
is allowed until a policy is adopted.
After that, it is strictly discouraged
as has been shown by Tretsky’s ex-
pulsion. in 1927. The small body of
officials at the top of the governmen-
tal .system which. replaces Congress
when Congress itself is not‘ in session
is known as the Central Committee.
It is divided into three bureaus :—the
bureau of organization, the political
bureau which formulates the party
policy to be carried out by the whole
government, and ‘the _ secretarial
bureau.

Stalin, the ruling spirit, almost the
dictator of the Communist party (al-
though scarcely any Soviet: will ad-
mit that he does moré than make dec-
larations of important policies) holds
but one position in the government:
in the Council of Labor and Defense.
The closest to, him in power is not
the present Premier, but the secre-
tary of the Ukranian Communist
Party. The U. S. S. R. has control
of everything but health, justice, and
culture. These come under the R. S.
S. F. R. and are in great part man-

| aged locally by the different repub-

lics.

The Soviet government has been
since 1923 (officially) a federation.
There are seven republics, each made

jup of a different race or nationality.

Each republic is allowed wide free-
dom of cultural autonomy. There. is,
however, political centralization all
over the country. The government of
each republic is modeled on that of
the Union.



Although all seminaries and schools
of theology have been closed so that
no more Orthodox. Greek - Catholic
priests can be ‘trained in Russia,
there is general religious toleration.
It is indicative of. the loss of religious
interest on the part of the Russian
people that they. have raised "no pro-
test at this elimination of formal re-
ligious education. Foreign churches
of all sorts are allowed. The group
in the United States which objects to

recognition of Russia on the grounds|

that the Russians are atheists
consequently, in error.

Our policy has. always been to
recognize foreign powers first and: ne-
gotiate afterward. President Roose-
velt has reversed this procedure. The
question of debts is a difficult one.
If the Soviet government promises us
payment, it is under treaty to pay
other states also, notably Germany.
ff, on the other hand, we cancel the
debt, in hope of trade, there will be
protests from ofher countries. We
have not acceptéd Russia’s assertion
that ‘the Communist government’ is
not responsible for the Kerensky debt
made under a previous government,
or for private debts. Litvinoff is at-
tempting to adjust private claims by
the General Electric system of ‘exaet-
ing a higher interest on new trade
and using that towards. debt pay-
ment.

Although Russia prefers our mod-
ern machinery to that of Germany
and Great Britain, with whom she
has been trading, she is unable to pay
us in goods, unless we open our mar-
ket to her. She has been employing
the pound sterling from her very fav-
orable balance of trade in Great
Britain to pay off an unfavorable bal-
ance in Germany. But now, because
of Canada’s complaints that Russian
lumber rather than Canadian is being
imported into England, Great Brit-

propaganda, now more subtle than
hitherto, is employed on a lawge scale.
Nearly 65 per cent. of the factory

Fear of foreign invasion, the desire
of. promoting the cause of Commun-

also motivating factors, which oper-

Mrs. Dean Gives News
Interview on F. P.A;



(Continued from Page Three)

pledges of passive resistance from un-
+-dergraduates brought a decided an-
swer from Mrs. Dean: “The culti-
vation of an anti-war attitude is val-
uable, but it is of use only in a cri-
sis. The F, P. A. is trying to allevi-
ate the danger before it: reaches the
crisis. It: analyzes the different is-
sues at stake and takes, not the sen-
timental, but the practical, point of
view. The most important. way to
get peace is through education in the
facts of international relations. :. For
example, it is idle merely to say that
we should have peace in the Polish
Corridor; or to call loudly for dis-
armament, but overlook .. conflicting
political issues, as the United States
has a marked tendency to do. One
cannot preserve peace without a
sound knowledge of the facts of- each
case.”

RACING ACROSS AMERICA in 10 hours and

added a new West-East transcontinental’
speed record to the East-West record he
won earlier this year. ‘‘ Like most pilots
I smoke a lot,” says Col. Turner. “I
smoke Camels for the sake of healthy
nerves, and I enjoy them more.”

Post climbs out of the Winnie Mae at
Floyd Bennett Field as the whole world
applauds his skill and marvelous physi-
cal endurance. ‘‘Smoking Camels as I
have for so long,’’ says Post, ‘‘I never
worry about healthy nerves.”

Marsalis and Louise Thaden set the world’s endurance
flight record for women. Miss Thaden says, ‘For some
years I’ve smoked Camels. They taste better.”” Also a
Camel fan, Miss Marsalis says, ‘‘I’ve never changed be-
cause I can’t afford to take chances with my nerves.’

tion, whose old dowager Empress had

“taken the money from the gunpowder
levies to build her summer palace.
Japan took over Korea, saying that
all she desired was to secure there
for herself an Open Door in trade.
When she had obtained. her Open
Door in Korea, Japan proceeded to
take over, under similar pretenses, a
strip of Manchurian coast, known as
the Liao-tung Peninsula. Hereupon,
Russia, who had been thwarted in
Europe and was still looking for an
ice-free port, stepped in, and, backed
by France and Germany appealed to
Japan to move out. Japan could do
nothing else but consent; immediately
Russia herself moved in, with China
agreeing, for the Chinese have never
feared the Russians as they do the
Japanese. oh

In 1900 came the Boxer Rebellion,

to rid China for ever of the “foreign
devils.” Japan for the first time
was asked by the Western powers to
help them do a job, in assisting for-
eigners in China, and she did it well.
In 1904, the Russo-Japanese War
arose over the immediate difficulty of
Korea. Russia entered the war, hav-
ing no idea of her foe’s strength. The
hireling’ armies of the Tsar were
routed, and the Japanese were given
back the Liao-tung Peninsula.

The Great War marked a milestone
in the history of Japan, because then
for the first time an Asiatic power
was asked to come in and help the
white race settle its troubles. In the



aftermath of the war, Japan suf-
fered as did all modern Western eco-
nomic states. With growing indus-
try; her. ever-increasing population
needed outlets. Natural outlets .in
America and Australia- were closed
to her, and closed insultingly. Amer-
ica’s Exclusion Bill was a direct slap
in the face to Japan.

After the war, Japan saw in China
and in Manchu¥ia a great potential
market; ‘in Manchuria, too, a great
potential source of supply, She decid-
ed to step into Manchuria, in the
manner of freebooters in: that coun-
try. from.time immemorial, and_se-
cure for herself its markets and re-
sources.

Although the League of Nations
propounded a theory, which was new
and entirely unexpected to Japan,
she went in. She agreed with, the
rest of the world powers, too, at the
Washington Conference of 1922 in
promising to join them for protecting
and ensuring the integrity of China.
She signed, but not wholeheartedly,
the Kellogg-Briand. Pact.

Meanwhile, China had overthrown
the Empire and created a Republic.
Foreign powers were pushing her
desperately hard, seizing her land, im-
posing on her unfavorable treaties;
she thought that perhaps a Republic
might straighten ‘matters out. “Dr.
Sun Yat Sen; in his lifetime not much
understood in China, had neverthe-
less a great Chinese following; he
looked toward some developments in
the Russian manner, some’ possibil-
ity of the: Chinese people creating
their own China.

nothing came of the appeal. Japan
was asked to retire from Manchuria
and she refused. A commission, ap-
pointed to. ‘consider the _ situation,
drew up a report which contained a
terrific arraignment of Japan, who
was, after all, only taking a page
out of our own history.

The Japanese seizure of Rukden
dealt a blow to us both from the
standpoint of China, and of the moral

advance of the world. China -retali-.

ated with a boycott against the Brit-
ish at Hongkong,
Japanese so seriously that Japan had
to send a fleet down to Shanghai in
an attempt to stop it.

The Japanese fleet made a serious

ernment time to consider its answer
to the boycott question.

At the. present day, Japan is, eco-
nomically, in a terrible plight. Her
industries are crippled; her markets
in China, and in India, too, are gone.
She is trying to recover by deter-
minedly pushing into Mongolia, and
is at present bargaining with Russia
for the Chinese-Eastern Railway.
Her home finances are in a muddle.
At the same time, the Chinese -are
pulling together :as never. before, in
a way that bodes ill for future
friendliness with Japan.

Japan fears the naval development
of the United States as a_ direct
threat to herself. She is afraid, too,
of the significance of American rec-
ognition of Russia... China, with
Chiang Kai-Shek still in the saddle,
is against yielding anything to Ja-
pan. What the secession of the south-
ern province from China. may por-
tend, one cannot foretell.

America, meanwhile, is caught in
a great crisis between national de-
sires and international aspirations.
She cannot go on building a _ tariff
wall, shutting off the Orient from
herself... Until she is willing to take
a definite step of goodwill by find-
ing, for instance, a better way of
giving back the Philippines, which
would speak louder to Japan than
adherence to any pact, peace with the

Orient will never come. :

It’s easy to see why so many women
prefer Lucky Strike. Luckies are fully
packed with long strands of choice

tobaccos, round and firm to the very
tips. That means Luckies always draw
easily, always burn smoothly. It also
means no annoying loose ends to cling
to lips or mess up the nice things in a
woman’s purse. And every day more and
more women are showing their appre-
ciation by saying ‘‘Luckies please’.
