International W eek Opens W ith Banquet United States Inconsistent In Peace Plan Dr. K. Reinhardt Gives Opinion on German American Relations By CAROL HURLBURT (Note: This is the third in series of articles on foreign countries which the Emerald is running during International Week.) lias the United States an incon sistent policy of international peace? Dr. K. Reinhardt, assistant pro fessor of German, explains Amer ica’s position nicely and yet he raises the question in telling of Ger man’s interest in furthering that spirit of “peace on earth; good will to men.” “The progressive element in Ger many is very much impressed and in favor of any effort that comes from foreigners to establish an in ternational brotherhood of nations,”! he said yesterday, “this as regards the Kellogg treaty especially. “What. I, personally, and many others, Americans as well, do not understand is that, while this treaty has been brought about and accept ed by the United States government, the Cruiser bill has at the same time been brought about and accepted. “I feel irreconcilable conflict be tween the two motives, and it is this that Germans, in looking over the press, cannot harmonize. “Personally I suppose that in this ease, as in the case of other nations, there are antagonistic forces in the government; one side representing a new spirit as regards international relations and the other one repre senting the old imperialistic spirit,” so Dr. Reinhardt explained away the inconsistency, and yet the ques tion still remains: “Has the United States a two-faced policy of inter national peace?” Dr. Reinhardt went on to speak j of disarmament. “As you know,” i lie explained, “Germany was the only nation that has been obliged by the Peace treaty to disarm. This ins been accomplished so that now die has a standing army of only 100,000 soldiers. This is only enough to protect the peace of the interior and the safety of the borders. “Germany was supposed to take Hie lead in the matter of disarma ment, but it was laid down in the treaty that the other nations would follow as soon as Germany should have fulfilled her agreements. “This lead convinces us that the (Continued on Page Two) Nominations for Editor of Emerald To Be Considered Editorial Staff to Call for Candidates for Position Today at 4 o’Cloek The amendments to the constitu tion of the associated students of the University of Oregon will take effect this afternoon at 4:00 a’clock when nominations for next year’s Emerald editor will be called for by Arden X.

I Fellowship Spirit, Good-will Feature Student Gathering Lecture, Tea Will Be On Today’s Events By WILLIS DUNIWAY “But there is neither East nor West, • Border nor land nor breed, When two strong men stand face to face. Though they come from the ends of the earth.” Tims, in the words of Kipling is summed up the true spirit and tone of international Week, proposed by the Oregon Daily Emerald and spon sored bv tin1 V. M. ('. A., Y. W. (.!, A., and the Cosmopolitan and International Relations clubs in the interest of world fellowship. More than a hundred students of severed nationalities gathered to gether last night at a banquet in -Hendricks hall to mark the open ing of the International Week pro gram. The crowded hall hummed with the intimate and friendly talk of the guests. » Students from the Philippines, China, Japan, India, Russia, Spain, France, Germany, Holland, and Korea, all were there, each the guest of an American stu dent, forming acquaintances and entering into friendships that will last. Five talks from foreign students on the campus expressed gratitude for an Ameircan education and the gooil that this nation is doing in world affairs. David Devaputra, graduate student from India, spoke on “What Oregon Means to Me.” He summed up His beliefs by dividing the word Oregon into six letters, each one standing for a factor in the furtherance of international re lations. These factors are: oppor tunity, responsibility, education, good-will, originality, and nobility of character. Felix Legrand spoke on I lie J French Student’s Immersion of In tellectual and Social Life at Ore- ! gon;” Charles Yoshii, on “Amer-J ica’s Part in International Friend-' ship;” Eugenio Padilla, “Intellec tual Mindedness;” and Leonard *lee, “The Effect of American-educated Chinese on China.” In all of the talks by the foreign students there was that note of sincerity and grat itude expressing thanks for Amer ica ’s work in education and world relations. Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the university, gave the principal address of the evening on “Inter national Friendship.” There is some thing worth while in the study of international friendship, Mr. Bar ker pointed out, when we think of what the ‘next war’ will be. The possibility of pilotless, invisible, noiseless airplanes swooping down on non combatants, as they are predict ed to do in the war of the future, is enough to further the struggle for world peace. “The United States is the fresh man nation of the world,” Mr. Bar ker said, “and we sometimes forget the senior benches and tradi tions of the rest of the world. We Americans are ignorant of many of the nations with which we come in contact. If we are going to be friendly, we must first know their feelings. ’ ’ Misunderstanding comes from lack of knowledge of the other fellow, Mr. Barker stated. “The univer sity,” he said, “is the best place to make for a common understand ing of each other.” A program of addresses gnd a tea lias been arranged today. Frances Warnecke, a junior in tho Univer sity of California who returned to the United Slates from an eight months trip around the world; Dr. Roy Akagi, Japanese educator and historian, and John Garvan, author and explorer, will talk, while the tea will be given by the Y. W. C, A. in honor of Miss Warnecke, who is the guest of the local association. Dr. Akagi will come to the campus under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W., while Mr. Garvan’s lecture will be sponsored by the as sociated students. Dr. Akagi was described yester day by Christine Holt, general chairman of International Week, and Dorothy Thomas, Y. W. secretary, as a “very charming person who speaks English fluently.
