LEAGUE OF NATIONS
MEETS APPROVAL
OF FACULTY MEN
(Continued from Page One)
changes will be made as will meet any
real objection.”
Dean E. W. Hope: “I hope the
League of Nations will go through.
This world has arrived at the place
where old policies are too narrow for
conditions as they probably will be
in the future. We will need greater
protection. ’ ’
World’s Most Important Idea
Professor P. C. Crockatt: “The most
important idea brought into the world
today is the plan for a League of Na
tions. It behooves every person to be
thoroughly up to date on the covenant
of the league and its revisions. People
today are not disagreed upon the de
sirability of having a league and we
Americans are showing our interna
tional responsibility now by being
whole heartedly in sympathy with a
plan for a league.
“The question is today, what shall
the plan be? Congressman Hawley’s
speech seemed to omit the authorized
publication of the new revised cove
nant of the league made a week ago.
In that covenant the Monroe doctrine
and immigration program as raised by
Congressman Hawley was safeguarded
for American interests and in the main
Congressman Hawley’s speech was the
criticism of the original document of
February 15. The question of immi
gration is left over, according to the
revised document, to the settlement as
a domestic problem.
“In the opinion of Congressman
Hawley, this is the proper safeguard
for America, but it does not solve the
immigration problem, especially the
Japanese. Japan sees us admitting
people of practically every other coun
try, oven with lower standards of liv
ing and education. But her people aro
excluded by our immigration laws and
naturally as she is the coming nation
on the Pacific, she is bound to make
trouble. She now threatens to with
draw from the league of nations.
Policy of Equality Needed
“We need an immigration policy
which will give equality of treatment
to all nations and safeguard American
standards and ideals, according to Con
gressman Hawley there is a plan at
present being worked out by a national
commission, which would do this. It
is the plan proposed by Sidney Gul
icks, a noted student of the Orient,
who is in America. It is this:
“To limit immigration from any one
country to say, five per cent of the
children of naturalized males of that
country. A series of examinations,
along with the usual court examina
tion, is to be made the basis for
naturalization, three examinations in
English, one in American History, one
in I’rinciples of Government, and one
in Principles of Democracy. A head
tax of fifteen dollars per year is held
on each immigrant, ouo dollar being
removed for each examination passed.
Working is Automatic
“The feature of this plan is that
it automatically upholds the equality
of teatment of all nations, but by)
upholding American standards of ed
ucation and thought, automatically;
limits the number of naturalized males
of countries that in the main have not
come up to American standards. It
would mean for the Pacific coast that
Japanese would be cut down to less
than half of the numbers already
within our states. This would remove
the claim of Japan of any inequality
of treatement, and if such a plan were
worked out there would be no grounds
for her withdrawing from the league
of nations.”
Professor F. tl. Young says of the
1 .eague:
'' The league is absolutely essent ial
to humanity if it is to have the as
surance of peace, prosperity, and
future welfare.”
“We must have a league of nations,
failure to firmly establish it now
would involve thhe greatest mishap
humanity has ever suffered.”
Japan to Lose by Withdrawing
\mlrew Pish, instructor in History,
say s:
■ \ league is most desirable. Tho
.lotoils will depend iiijion whether it is
just or not. It’ a fair settlement is
reached now. peace may be preserved
for a long time to come.”
\s to the Japanese problem Mr.
Fish says:
'It is hard to see what Japan will
do if she withdraws from the league.
It is more to her advantage to stay
in. ’ ’
Dean K. W. Allen: ,-l think an ef
fective League of Nations is something
that must come sooner or later and
ought to come now but 1 am very far
from confident that it is coming now.
It maV be that the Paris conference
will be called a success but 1 can't see
where it is very different from a
great many conferences of the kind
that have been held in the past. Maybe
the league will work; 1 hope it will.
Anyway, it is better than nothing, and
ought by all means to be adopted.”
Professor H. C. Howe: “I am a
strong believer in a league of nations
which would include all the nations of
the world and give internal freedom
to them all. The present league of
nations does not promise anything but
an alliance on one half of the world
to enforce its will on the other half.
Such tyranny is foredoomed to failure.
It promises trouble and not peace and
what we want a league of nations for
is peace. It is founded on a fractional
will of the world.”
General Theory All Bight
Dr. J. F. Bovard: “The general
theory is all right and I am for it.
But I am not a politician and I reserve
my opinion until we get it.”
Dr. W. P. Boynton: “I hope they
have a successful league. I want it
as soon as it will work, but I am afraid
that it is more like putting the nations
under bonds and will be no more ef
fective than putting a man under
bonds. He is good only as long as he
is afraid of what the other men will
do to him if he doesn’t obey. ’ ’
Professor W. E. Milne: “I am in
favor of the League of Nations, par
ticularly with the recent modifications.
However, I think that the council
which is supposed to be the deciding
body in the League of Nations ought
to have more power to enforce its
decisions.”
Coming In Time
Dr. W. D. Smith: “I’m for the
League of Nations. I think that the
League of Nations is coming in time
and it can never come unless we form
one. These things don’t come without
individual human effort. I feel like
a Canadian doctor in Portland who
said that the most important thing in
the world before mankind today is
the League of Nations. He said that
if you had helped pick up the mangled
bodies of our soldiers and the allies’
soldiers as he had done you would be
impatient of any criticism of President
Wilson or the people working on the
League of Nations. I feel that it will
not seriously interfere with the Monroe
Doctrine; that if the covenant be
properly drawn, as I am sure it will be,
the League of Nations will be simply
an expansion of the Monroe Doctrine.
“I heard Mr. Taft analyze the cove
nant and answer the criticisms made
by Senators Borah and Poindexter and
he showed that these two men had
nothing in their arguments; and prob
ably no one in the United States
knows more about the constitution
of this country than he, although he
did not claim that the present cove
nant was perfect. I feel that much
of the criticism of the League of Na
tions is purely short-sighted and self
ish. I am not a political supporter of
Mr. Wilson, but I am behind him in
this matter.”
Dr. H. I). Sheldon—“It seems to me
that the League of Nations is a valuable
step toward the elimination of war, but
it will take several generations to ac
complish the results. The United States
can exert only a strong influence as
it lias a strong navy and a reasonably
strong army, so it will not mean a com
plete disarmament. I believe all
Americans should stand back of Pres
ident Wilson in his attempt to operate j
the League of Nations, and to defend
the small nationalities of Europe
against the cupidity of the larger na
tions. ’ ’
Monroe Doctrine Not in Danger
Dr. II. A. Clark—“1 am a supporter
of the League of Nations in any form.
1 am not opposed to it as originally ;
proposed by the pence conference. The
objections to the plan are trivial. 1
do not think the Monroe Doctrine is
in danger. My opinion is that the
Senate will indorse the plan as it comes
from the peace conference.”
Dr. ,1. II. Gilbert “The League of
Nations is absolutely the only solution
for international peace and war. With
out a League of Nations it will be im
possible to safeguard against war. None
of the objections to the league seem
sound. My opinion is that the Monroe
Doctrine ought to belong to the terms
of the League of Nations. 1 think the
Monroe Doctrine ought to be interna
tionalized. America could then enlist
the support of the leading powers in
enforcing it.”
GAMES SET FOR MONDAY
Beta Fiji, Kappa Sig, Sigma Nu Tennis

The standing of the men's doughnut
tennis league remains the same as it

teams will mix next Monday afternoon
on the court. The dormitory will play

ARMY SAYS ‘10’
TO ALEX BOWEN
Then It’s Done, Ex-Student
Writes—Can’t Tell What’s
Coming; Will be Back
The trials of a "military orphan,” as
he styles himself, without the care and
guidance of a “ military papa, ’ ’ are de
scribed in a letter received on the
campus from Alex P. Bowen, a former
student on the campus. His letter* is a
long tale of woe, of buffets from pil
lar to post up to his present army home,
in the office of the railway transporta
tion office at St. Aignan-Noyers,
France.
His letter follows in part: "This
army has always been a sort of mystery
to me and always will be. You can
never tell just what the army is going
to do to you or with you. It just
jumps out at you suddenly and says
"Boo” and the whole thing is done.
I enlisted, July 4th, 1917, in the State
Administration department of the Or
egon National guard (wherever that
was.) Several other University of Or
egon men were in the same outfit and
they may be able to explain just what
it was. We were told that we were to
do the quartermaster work for the 41st
division (which we didn’t, at all) and
were sent down to Camp Fremont, Palo
Alto, California, where the rest of the
division was to join us (which it never
did).
"After summering there for a couple
of months we came to realize that we
were nothing more or less than military
orphans, brought inte the world for no
apparent reason, and left upon a door
step to be picked up by whoever hap
pened along. Well the war department
finally happened along, picked us up
and sent us to Camp Greene, North Car
olina, and from there to Camp Mills.
Nobody knew what or whom we were
for; we were parasites, clinging first
to one organization and then another.
We didn’t care, ourselves, to what or
whom we belonged, just so we got to
France. Finally we were attached to
the 116th supply train and over we
came. Then the excitement subsided
and stock was taken. It was discovered
that we still didn’t belong to anything
but the army in general and that we
would have to find something to be
long to at once or the result would be
fatal. So we broke up and started
looking for military papas.
"Some of the boys remained with
the supply train, some went into motor
transportation and still others went j
into artillery schools. I went on duty
with the railway transportation offi
cer and was transferred to the engi
neers. That happened here at St. Aig
nan, where almost everything else has
happened that has happened at all. The
work of the railway transportation de
partment is ,or was), in short, to ship
men and material to the front. Its j
duty now is to ship ditto home again.”
Bowen mentions meeting Franklin
Staiger who was a lieutenant at Salles
and the two exchanged college news.
He also tells of receiving copies of The
Emerald and of his desires to return to
the campus.
‘ ‘ As to my future plans, I want to
continue my education in some line if
I. am not too old by the time I get
home. Whether it will be at Oregon or
not I do not know. I know that I
would give all my worldly goods to be
able to walk across the old campus
today. I 'in going to do it next fall if
I have to go AWOL.”

COTE CONCERT PLEASES
Selections Well Selected to Artist’s
Voice Delight Audience
A number of exceptionally beautiful
and charming songs made up the pro
gram of Arthur Faguy-Cote’s recital in
the Y. M. C. A. hut last Thursday even
ing. Mr. Cote was assisted by Mrs.
Arthur Faguy-Cote.
The selections were wonderfully suit
ed to his voice, giving him opportunity
to use his splendid range and technique
and the powerful volume and deep feel
ing of which he is master. The first
number, “On Wings of Song,” was
most wonderfully rendered, its beauty,
sweetness and technique charming his
entire audience. Typical of his more
dramatic selections were ‘ ‘ The Gray
Wolf,” by Burleigh, and “Chant Hin
du,” by Bemberg. The vividness and
intense feeling portrayed in “The Gray
Wolf” overwhelmed the listeners. Mr.
Cote then gave as an encore ‘ ‘ The
Sunflower.” This song was light in
style and thought and drew a strong
contrast to “The Gray Wolf.” “Chant
Hindou” was wonderfully produced,
all its tragedy and pathos being repre
sented vividly by Mr. Cote’s extraor
dinary dramatic ability and power of
expression of feeling and the rich qual
ity of his voice.
The sweetness and sentiment of the
Irish Melody, 1 ‘ Has Sorrow Thy Young
Days Shaded!” was very beautiful and
showed to rare advantage the quality
of his lower range of tones.
GEOLOGY FELLOWSHIP OFFERED
