1 Nob Je Sounds -Warn ingNote Ninnons Create Maiu'htikuo Government --\ United States Can Gain Nothing 1:3 War Over Manchuria, Says Instructor A note of warning for the United States not to allow itself to be pdrawn into conflict with Japan, in spite of any amount of sympa thy this country may have for China, was sounded here last nigh: by Dr. Harold J. Noble, assistant professor of history, in an address made under the auspices of the International club, cn the topic, “Manchuria and the Lytton Re port.” The Lytton report on Japanese activities in Manchuria states what unofficial observers have stated repeatedly, that the Manchukuo government was created by Japan, Dr. Noble stated. “Had it not been for Japanese military action the Manchurian government could not have come into existence," Dr. No ble said, in outlining the report of the commission. “Japanese offi-; cers took a prominent part in the government's establishment, expe-1 rienced Japanese occupy strategic j executive positions in the govern-j ment, whose main functions are | carried on by a general affairs board headed by and largely named by Japanese.” j “There are only two significant ipoints of argument in the Sino Japanese case now being heard at Geneva, although the Lytton re port and the Japanese reply con sider a number of others,” Dr. No Intending Grads In January Must Pay $IO Fee Soon Students planning to gradu ate in January are warned by the registrar's office to plan on the S10.00 graduation fe? due shortly after registration for winter term is completed.

"The United States could -gain nothing in a war over Manchuria, either economically or idealistically, for a war certainly would not put to gether the broken treaties. Under standing of the truth i3 one thing; action on that truth is quite dif ferent. It would be calamitous for ihe United States to be drawi\ into conflict. Furthermore, the Jap anese seem to be preparing the way for their own bankruptcy be cause of the tremendous expenses necessitated by their military oper ations on the continent.” If a resort to arms was not jus tifiable on the part of Japan and if Japan played a part in estab lishing Manchukuo then her gov ernment must be judged guilty, Dr. Noble stated, for then either First Aid for unbroken joints How to keep silt and sand from clogging tele phone cable ducts was one problem put up to engineers at Bell Telephone Laboratories. No known method of joining sections of vitrified clay conduit effected a seepage-tight joint. With scientific thoroughness, telephone men made many tests under service conditions. They devised a bandage of cheese-cloth, waterproof paper and mortar. Easily made and applied, this mortar bandage is tight against silt and sand. It prevents clogging, greatly simplifies the installation of new telephone cables and the removal of old ones. Through solving such interesting problems, Bell System men work steadily nearer to their goal — telephone service of highest possible efficiency.

What is more impressive is the great diffi culty the Japanese have in holding the railway lines they have taken over. Even main line trains oper ate only in the day time.

Others will be- heard under the auspices of the club next term. Dr. Noble has spent consider- i able time in the' Orient, and last summer was unofficially observ ing conditions in Manchuria and other portions of the Orient while I on a trip there. He has also done considerable research work on Or iental history and has a wide background for his current obser vations. University High Rumors Quelled Hi: 1 Despite the fact that numerous rumors have been spread that the University high school will be dis continued after this year, Dean J. R. Jewell, of the education school and H. R. Gould, superintendent of schools in Eugene, have utmost confidence that this action will not take place. It has been found necessary in the readjustment of the budget to discontinue for the time being the publication of The High School Journal, a magazine published by the school of education for the teaching profession. Both Chancellor J. Tv. Kerr and Dean Jewell have voiced opposi tion to the closing of University high. Mr. Could denies that such a plan has been suggested.
