Japanese Sentiment Shown
In Letter From Ex-Student
Next to one’s own, the point of
yiew of the “other fellow’’ is al
ways Important. To professor John
Mueller of the sociology depart
ment a letter has come from a for
mer student of his, Yoshi Otsuka,
University of Oregon, '30, who now
lives in Japan. From Otsuka’s let
ter the following interpretation of
current sentiment there is quoted
as showing how the Jap feels re
garding his country's present sit
uation. The words are the writer’s
own, except those in brackets.
. “The present condition in Japan
is very much interest for us. Per
haps it will be most interest for
Jou (to read about) the conserva
tive group’s activities. They said,
$ut it was not published, the mili
tary people dislike party politics
and. some of them was going to
{(ill the chief members of the polit
ical parties, but It (evidently the
militarist plot) was discovered and
east into prison. But just recently
some of the middle class people
grouped to build up despotic gov
ernment and made plan to kill
«hief member of the parties and
«hief people of the plutocracies.
Iln) the list of the people to kill
fyas included 20 most highest peo
ple in Japan. Former financial
fininister Inouye and the general
fnanager of Mitsule plutocracy
which got interest by the re-em
Dargo upon gold $40,000,000 more.
But all members of this homicidal
group have been took up. How
ever this tendency has social back
ground . . .
Every theatre, every magazine,
every newspaper, and any histor
ian, in fact every people in Japan,
are talking, playing, writing and
admiring the three soldiers who
were killed with bombs. . . Japan
is now military age. The military
people I think best people in Japan
now . . . and all people are led by
these groups. I don't know (if; it
will start a world war . . . most
Japanese people like only peace.
I think it will be very hard to
understand of the character of
Oriental people, especially Chinese.
The most popular scholar of Chi
nese history in Japan said that we
cannot state Chinese tomorrow
condition, because they will change
it any time. Their oath is only for
a minute, (you) can never trust
it. They have not fixed opinion.
Also Japanese national charac
ter is very strange to you. Japan
ese people is too honest, looks like
narrow mind. They love their life,
but they will give up their life to
devote to justice, to the master, or
parent, or emperor, of the Great
Love. So sometimes they kill
themselves for their sentiment. I
think American people think first
of all, good or bad, loss or gain
about the matter, but Japanese
people first of all think their hon
or. This is Japanese traditional
character.
Just recently, socialist party and
progressive workers’ party are
changing their thought from their
idea to national socialism. They
are conscious of nationalism more
than internationalism.”

Banking Committee Strikes
At Suspected ‘Bears’
In Dramatic Raid
WASHINGTON, April 20—(AP)
—In a sudden and dramatic sortie
on Wall street, the Senate bear
hunters today served subpoenas on
a score of New York brokers
directing them to appear with
books and records tomorrow for
investigation of their short selling
accounts.
Without warning, agents of the
banking committee swooped down
on New York’s financial district
and handed subpoenas to some of
the biggest firms in the stock ex
change.
Their names were selected from
the list of 24,000 short accounts
submitted to the committee last
week by Richard Whitney, presi
dent of the exchange.
The brokers were called because
of a belief that many of the large
short accounts listed through their
firms in the list furnished the
committee were under fictitious
names.
William A. Gray, the commit
tee's counsel, said one of the rea
sons they were called was to “look
at their books to see if they have
been short selling themselves.” He
said the committee also wanted to
inquire into the accounts of their
clients.

The Russian-German actress is

“Ich weiss nur fuenf Amerikan

“Which means she is sad be

But then the blue eyes of the

No Dry Candidate
On Wet Platform
Say Women Prohis
Prohibition Backers Visit
President Hoover;
Score Mellon
WASHINGTON, April 20—(AP)
—Feminine prohibitionists repre
senting the Women’s National
Committee for Law Enforcement
today told President Hoover they
would not accept "a dry candidate
on a wet platform.” They said
they “could not trust the sincer
ity” of such a man.
The statement was included in
resolutions which Mrs. Henry W.
Peabody, president of the organi
zation, said she read to the chief
executive during her audience,
along with a dozen other women
dry leaders.
Another, Mrs. Peabody said, was
aimed at Ambassador Mellon and
asked that ambassadors be in
structed that their positions in
volved "respect for our constitu
tional law and their observance
and defense of that law while they
are in office.” It was based upon
a press dispatch that the ambassa
dor had permitted the use of wine
in the London embassy.
At the other end of Pennsyl
vania avenue, meantime, a Senate
judiciary sub-committee was in
formed by one of nearly a score
of women drys who vigorously
opposed any changes in the liquor
laws that if a wet presidential
candidate is named by either party
he will receive a decisive “licking.”

Too Much Money
Claudette Colbert as a wealthy
young lady who doesn’t know
what to do with her time, and
there you have the situation at the
opening of “Misleading Lady,”
which is showing for the last times
at the McDonald today.
Tired of the continual rounds of
social duties and "pink teas,” the
girl fares forth with grim deter
mination to give the stage just the
vamp it wants. She finds the pro
ducer at a week-end party and
seeks the job. The producer is
skeptical, so the girl bets him that
if she can make a young explor
er, in the person of Edmund Lowe,
ask her to marry him within three
days, she gets the part.
It works just fine until the man
finds she is doing it for a gag.
Then he gets sore, and she gets
sore back and tells him he couldn’t
get any girl to love him, etc. “Oh
yeah?” says the man. And he
proceeds to kidnpap the girl and
take her to his mountain cabin.
How he manhandles that girl! And
is she scared!
Claudette Colbert again offers
proof that she is one of the fin
ished screen actresses of the day.
Her “so mad” scenes are excellent.
Lowe, as usual, is the dapper gen
tleman with the sparkling conver
sation always at command. Stuart
Erwin is “Napoleon,” a nut from
an asylum who’s taken up quar
ters in Lowe’s cabin in his absence.
Can you stand to watch Lowe as
sisting Claudette Colbert to change
clothes, or see him lock a bear
chain about her waist? A crack
ing good show with snappy lines
and everything.

Colonial’s Big Day
In the first place, they start the
day with “Outward Bound,” one
of the outstanding and most un
usual films of the year, 1931. The
first showing is at 2:00 o’clock.
Helen Chandler and Douglas
Fairbanks Jr. are the featured
players, and Doug is mighty good
in it. “Outward Bound” is some

Then in the evening will be

Besides this, there will be the
