Considerable damage was done on the pretext of a search for anti-Japanese literature. The American consul will most likely file a protest with Japanese authorities, who will make the necessary prom ises that the outrages will stop. And today or tomorrow the whole process may be repeated again. It has been evident from the start that the Japanese were not to be halted in their efforts to break the Chinese boycott by mere consular protests. It has become increasingly evident as the days pass that \hey have no intention of withdrawing from Shanghai and that a major military engagement is in the offing. Why then allow Americans to remain in the disputed sector ? < Ships have been sent to Shanghai and marines have been landed in the international settlement to protect our nationals. But if we wish to keep from being entangled in another great war, it would be well to keep American citizens out of the danger zone. We should not go so far in the protection of the rights of a few citizens in China to endanger the peace of the country. We can make our protests to Japan and go so far as to enforce an economic boycott—but we don't want war. All our commer cial interests and citizens in the East are not worth the blood shed and suffering war would bring. . £*■ The President Proposes ^RESIDENT HOOVER deserves the highest praise for his plan to carry out the reorganization of the executive depart ment of the government by giving legislative and administrative functions "single-headed responsibility." It is to be hoped that his plea to Congress for permission to carry out the reorganiza tion work will not be denied. The proposal of the president, if carried out, should do two very important things. It should alleviate in part the budgetary difficulties of the government by a drastic cut in expenses of administration. But, more important still, the reorganization through concentration of responsibility should greatly increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the governmental depart ments. That the president is not oblivious of the fact that his plan will meet with much opposition is shown in his statement to Congress. In this statement he said that other presidents had failed in major results because of the "mobilization of opposi tion from all quarters,” especially in the departments affected. Although this opposition will undoubtedly develop, it should not be strong enough to halt the president in his movement towards efficiency and economy. The Curtain Falls 'JpiiE DEATH of Mrs. Minnie Maddcrn Fiske, for half a cen tury a leading figure on the legitimate stage, brings remini scences to the minds of the older generation perhaps more than the younger which will not be easily replaced by any of the more recent stage celebrities. Mrs. Fiske was one of the great actresses of three genera tions. She played in New York for many years, and made sev eral tours through the country. She endeared herself to millions by her splendid interpretations of many roles. She played comedv in her later years with equal ease and grace as she did tragedy. The stage has lost an outstanding character in the passing of Mrs. Fiske. Her memory joins that of Booth, Duse, Bern hardt, Drew and scores of others who have ensured for the legitimate stage a place iu the hearts of the masses which can not be replaced by the greatest stars of the cinema. WITH OTHER EDITORS IMPORTANT OOl.I.EBIATE DECISIONS Students at Columbia univer sity, balloting upon "the ideal woman,” gave their first choice to a dream creature answering to! the following description. • Cul- ■ tuied. clever, sensitive, ami lie conversation combines gentleness and wit. In this connection i should bo observed that the prac tical housewife, "affectionate am a good cook,” ran a poor third ou much tor the ;, ouue gentlemen of a great university and their romantic preferences. Meantime the students of Bar nard college were voting to decide upon “the ideal man.” They de cided that the ideal man must have culture, money, good looks and a sense of humor. You may determine for yourself which of these requirements might possibly j be eliminated. As one young; woman will qualify without diffi-1 culty “just so long as he Is rich.” j t may or may not be signifi cant that none of the several choices expressed by the votes cast . in the two institutions of higher j learning so much as mentions sound character as desirable. The concepts are glamorous rather than substantial. But life, when life get around to the matter, will remind each of them that they must accept what offers, and that oddly enough the eventual choice may be remote from the declared specifications. Now that these important de cisions have been reached, and the large furry ear of the nation has j been informed, will it be asking, too much of the young folks to j „ I return to those studies which fatu ous parently fondly imagine to be j the reason for attending college? —Morning Oregonian. Officials of International League Elected Tuesday Organization Results From Visit Of Field Representative A University division of the In ternational League for Industrial Democracy was organized Tues day night at the Y hut.

According to a letter he has just sent to Dr. R. C. Clark, he is holding the same po sition that he held while he was here and is now on his second year of graduate work there. When he was an undergraduate in the University, Beeson majored in journalism and minored in his tory. He took his master’s degree here in 1930 and in the same year went to Minnesota. Mrs. Beeson, formerly a. secretary of the law school, is now secretary to Dr. Ralph D. Casey, head of the de partment of journalism there. Dr. Casey was a member of the fac ulty c*f the school of journalism here for some time until he ac cepted his present position in 1930. PLAN GETS FAVORABLE COMMENT FROM FACULTY (Continued from Page One) ver's program ever since he was secretary of commerce. Hoover has continually pointed out the ri diculousness of duplication and overlapping of department activi ties. It is very desirable that the principle of reorganization be ef fected, in Dr. Burnett’s opinion. Dr. Mez concluded his statement on the plan with, “More power to Herbert in his economy program. It is to be hoped that these changes come into effect before Novem ber.’’ Elmer Pendell, of the depart ment of economics, called the pro posed plan for simplification of executive branches of the govern ment a "highly desirable goal urged by practically all economists and political scientists." Although Pendell said he could not express a detailed opinion on the proposal without considerable study of the specific changes advocated, he fa vored the principle underlying the j suggestion.

Immediately following the an nouncement of John Hare’s ap pointment to the chairmanship of Junior Shine day, he re ceived a large package from home, and thinking that it was | a box of “goodies” from his mother, he sneaked it up to his room to keep it away from the | ravaging appetites of his fra- , ternity brothers. Exulting in his secret, he hur riedly opened the package to find that his father had gath ered the choicest of Hills boro’s old shoes and shipped them here for Johnny to shine. Thus, Mr. Hare expressed satis faction in kiiowing that John ny’s three years in the Univer sity had really helped him in selecting a profession. BRYSON TO APPEAR IN RECITAL AT AUDITORIUM (Continued on Page Four) concluding group. Bryson chose the song “By a Lonely Forest Pathway,” by Griffes, as "one of the most beautiful songs of this century.” "Bricklayer Love,” by Hughes, achieves novel music effects simp ly because it was written to ver ses by Carl Sandburg, who is not famous for metrical perfection or rhythmical sweep. A negro spiritual, “Ride On, King Jesus,” as arranged by Gaul and Damrosch’s ever popular “Danny Dever,” are also in the concluding group. MEZ WILL GIVE VIEWS ON NEW CIVILIZATION (Continued from rage One) has addressed a large number of groups on the economic and politi cal situation. The meeting tonight will be the sixth in the Y. M. C. A. series on "The New Civilization.” These dis cussions, which are open to both men and women, are held from 7:30 to 8:30 each Thursday eve ning.

Address System in Place The entire lower floor will be covered with chairs, and amplify ing facilities are being arranged for the speaker of the day, Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the University. John Stehn, director of the Uni versity concert band, has been grooming this organization for the half-hour of patriotic airs and mu sic popular in Revolutionary days that will open the program of the assembly. The speaking is to last until 11:50. Assembly One of Many This gathering with University students and faculty as hosts with every civic organization and citi zen of the community invited to participate, is one of thousands of such convocations to be held Mon day morning throughout the coun try commemorating the 200th an niversary of the birth of George Washington. In an open letter published Tuesday the invitation to attend the event was announced on be half of the city of Eugene by Eli sha Large, mayor, through whom student-citizen cooperation is being handled for joint attendance. Former Alaskan Asks Concerning Exte nsion Tour An inquiry about the Univer sity of Oregon extension tour this summer into the Yukon country of Alaska has been received at the office of David E. Faville, dean of the school of business administra tion, and director of the tour. The letter comes from D. A. Shindler of the Portland Bronze and Brass works. Mr. Shindler was a resi dent in Dawson from 1898 to 1908 and is anxious to revisit old scenes. In asking concerning the trip he says: "I like your itinerary very much, as it includes the trip from the coast to Fairbanks over the railroad. In 1907 I made the trip from Valdez to Fairbanks over the trail, then across country to Circle and up the Yukon to Daw son—1,700 miles—a good long trip by dog team which is equiva lent to walking as there was three in our party and the dog team carried our luggage. There was no running at full speed as you see in the pictures—just a dog trot all the way with an occasional dash when coming to a settle ment.” Enclosed in Mr. Shindler’s letter was a plate of a bronze tablet made by him and erected to Rev erend William Richmond, first Episcopal missionary to Oregon. The plate was erected in 1931 by the senior class of Hill Military academy. PAGEANT OF LIFE IN NORTH AMERICA SHOWN (Continued from ±age One) was no “bracelet of bright hair about the bone” . . . Scenes Full of Romance And was the graceful and sinu ous dancing girl in the modern scenes a descendant of this god dess queen of legend? . . . cer tainly, as she danced with con trolled abandon, to the, Arab stringed instruments, with their curious wild wailing strains, one fancied her descended from some Astarte of the desert . . . what su- 4 perb facial types the Arab shiekhs, and how courtly their grace* of manner . . . What towering worn peaks those further mountain ranges of the Atlas mountains . . . and what superb vistas of desert scenery: so like our own Southwest, or east ern Oregon volcanic area; like, too, the desolate parts of Sicily. Besides this authentic picture of the past of northern Africa, as De Prorok has uncovered it, the same program contains a good movie of Pompeii. It is clear that these films will be of especial interest to students of the classics, of art and archaeology. Film Moves Briskly Profssor Warren D. Smith, who previewed it with us, kept remark ing how well certain flashes illus trated valuable points in geogra phy and geology. Apart from and didactic value, however, the film is excellent as pure movie. It moves briskly, deals in terms of motion, has a sufficient unity in that the same achaeological expedition is present throughout. I could have done without the silly New York scene which the producer stuck on at the begin ning: and de Prorok was strange ly woolly-witted about his dates, for an eminent arcraeologist, and curator of the Algiers Museum of Natural History. Maybe he was warned against putting in any learning. But since he was travers ing about 12,000 years of history, he might have put in an exact But since an archaeologist finds history in jumbled layers, maybe he wanted to leave it that way. In spite of these slight defects, in my opinion this is the most enjoyable of the Faculty club’s films so far. When I noted that the Colonial was showing the Russian Five Year Plan the same night, it struck me that I should like to go to the 5:20 show and stay right through. j MEZ SPEAKS TO GROUP Dr. John R. Mez of the econ omics department spoke Tuesday afternoon before the women’s group of the Unitarian church on the topic, “The Tangle of Inter national Finance.” Professor Mez is also scheduled to speak over KGW in Portland next week. date now Mysterious Bunk ONCE in a blue moon now some bright, old-fashioned cynic says: “Aw, I never read the advertisements. They re full of bunk.” But when one starts to look for it, the “bunk” in adver tising shows a mysterious tendency to be absent. Speci mens of it are hard to locate. The reason for that is simple. Bad goods cannot be suc cessfully advertised. To stand up under the pitiless glare of publicity, merchandise must be honest. It must live up to its promises. Otherwise you would quickly cease to buy it. So advertisers discovered long ago that for them, too, honesty was the best policy. More!—the only possible policy, if they were to remain advertisers! Read the advertisements. They are not full of bunk. On the contrary, they are full of honest information and interesting news. They show you ways to be more com fortable. They make life easier. They help you to be happier and healthier. They teach you prices and values. No doubt about it—advertisements do you many a ser vice. Read them every day! the Emerald
