Night Editor Thin Ihh%\c—Julia Currie Fare All the Facts of China Instead of Only a Few Like Katherine Mayo in lirr hook “Mother India,” 1 lie erstwhile lecturer Sam (SrnlhweM painted a onesided picture of an Oriental people at assembly yesterday morning. Frankly attempting t'< “face the facia” ill China, (Irath well explained that due to distance, cost of eabh's and misrep resentation of news, China was not understood by Americans. The read ion of the Chinese students at Oregon is typified by the communication in an adjoining column. What do the people who heard Orathwel! now think of t Mi inn ? Most of the students present have never been to China. If they went, there, they could sec among more pleasant things, conditions similar to those Grathwcll depicted. "With excep tions, the facts he presented were correct. Only his interpreta tion, because of his attempt to he sensational, was inaccurate. China is economically backward; China has less “public niindcdncss” than the United States; Chinese people may often “worship ancestors ”, to a detrimental degree; some Chinese traders of the weaker sort are “avaricious;” Chinese laundries may be a “myth.” Students should not pass judgment on the basis of such a one sided picture lie went a liMle~Uio far once or twice in bis implications. When he assumes that the Chinese are an “avaricious pimple” he oversteps the hounds of fact. When the late Murray War ner was employed by the American Trading company in and about Peking, and during seven years of private enterprise there- he did not find il necessary to use written contracts upon any Occasion with any of the many Chinese business men with whom be came in contact. As in any country, there are Chinese who break their word. Most oT them are reliable; the integrity of the educated cultured class as a whole is unques tioned. So it, is wise to consider the other side of Chinn—the good tlm intelligent political, economic, and educational load ers who are cooperating in a concerted effort, to forge the future of an indestructible people, a fourth of the world’s population, on the anvil of history. Mr. Gml-li well’s lent lire yesterday jvresenlcd one phase of truth. When the peoples of the world know the truth about, others, when the iniquities, oppression, injustice, waste and strifes of the I'nited States', no loss than of other nations, are made clear to humanity, the sooner will the wrongs he righted. Rut care and discretion, and a critical altitude of mind mud bo called into play lo uift I ho true and I lie false in our appraisal of the farts of life. In the ease id' China, let us not be too sure as a result of the specific, instances from which lirathwell makes his appeal, that the “gun boat policy” of present imperialism is justified. If we are lo “face the fads,” until we have “faced all the fads.” Id. us not pass judgment Athletic Awards Made Democratic at Oregon 1 low gratifying to realize 111; 11 a ft of ;ill tile “probes" ul' quest ioliald’e expediency conduct etl by the student emmeil t hat this august body of student government alone' with the executive eonneil should do something really eoimuendahle. The Inner,aid commends without reservation the deeision to award the same kind of athletie letter to successful repre sentatives in every sport. Athletes in the various sports nun not unanimously favor the art ion because of personal pride amf jealousy. lint the move is a wise one lor the student body at large. Oregon is again the vanguard of progressive student legislation. The outstanding advantage of a similar letter awarded for either so called “major" or “minor" sport is that of democ racy in athletics, and the diminishing of unnecessary emphasis on one type of physical accomplishment. If there is a reasonable charge against the athletic situa lion in \merican colleges, it is that so much emphasis is givefi to a limited few players on foot ha 11 teams. There are other sports worth recognizing, and the student leaders at Oregon acted nobly in this courageous Action. The ideal situation in collegiate athletics prevails in Scot land where players representing leading uni versifies play iile game for the gallic', sake; they furnish their own equip mrnt and regalia and pay laundry and cleaning bills them selves. We do not predict that Oregon basketball men will he demanding tlie right to furnish their own equipment. Neither will football players he expected to voluntarily provide their own shoes. 1’niform letter . I'm golf as well as football will hereafter prevent squabbling and quibbling as to the relative amount of prestige attendant upon successful achievement in separate lines of athletic endeavor. We caution the student emmeil and executive council to make provisions that high t tndards of competition will he demanded and high demonstration of ability required to will letters in “lesser sports.’' Schools against which a man in a sport involving no team action reasonable competition. Furthermore no sport shoe year in which tiie amount of This happened regretably to wr Oregon has adopted a pi equally. A premium is no Ion; and prowess, as well as brainy Other schools will do well CAMPUS ^ ' v A FORUM \yr.\ (CltroluAi WAS THE SPEAKER RIGHT? Personally, I liatu to criticize any body. In fact, I liatc to write any thing. Hut the situation lias forced me to say something about Mr. (iratliwell’s speech in the assembly Thursday. Wliat Mr. (iratliwell said may be true, but as far as 1- am informed by my Chinese friends and as far as 1 have read in Chinese and Japan ese magazines, 1 have never heard of several things that he said. In fact, olfe of my Chinese friends, soon after the assembly,’ told me that 1 have lived and learned little of China in the, early twenty years of my own life in China, but 1 have never seen nor heard such tilings. I am hot denying the facts that such things exist, but I like | to say this much, that is what my] Chinese friends have seen in China' during their childhood and youth, and What they have read about China in the light of their maga zines cannot be false. Prejudices Shown There seems some prejudices and discrepancies in his own interpreta tion and that of missionaries, es pecially because many missionaries in China, due to the unsuc.cessfill ness of their attempts, exaggerate the worst of China. In this sense Professor Hitssell’s interpretation in. "The Problems of China,” is more near to the truth than Mr. Uratli u ell \s ini erpretat ion. 1 appreciale Mr. flrathwell’s sar-’ (■asm very, very much, but if what lie said is the trite contemporary condition id' China, there is not much clnincc again, before China will go to the revolution again.
