Disarmament
Need Stressed
By Miss Rankin
United Action Important
States Speaker
AGITATION IS URGED
First Congresswoman Talks to
Large Audience Last Night
In Villard Hall
Stressing the importance of unit
ed action in assisting world dis
armament. Miss Jeannette Ran
kin, first. woman elected to the
United States congress, spoke be
fore a large assemblage in Villard
hall last night.
Miss Rankin who has been en
gaged in promoting world peace
for several years and is associate
secretary of the National Council
for Prevention of War, urged ev
eryone to write to senators or con
gressmen asking questions about
armaments and int ernational
peace. “When you receive a reply,
write a letter of thanks and ask
another question. When this let
ter is answered, repeat the process,
asking still another question. Keep
this up until they realize that peo
ple are interested in peace. If you
are sent a form reply, send a tel
egram collect and you will soon
receive a personal letter.’’
Futility Emphasized
Miss Rankin emphasized the fu
tility of building huge armaments
as a means of protection. She com
pared nations to persons who
locked their doors and became
more frightened than before. “The
more arms people get, the more
scared they become,’’ she said.
“We have a tremendous respon
sibility,’’ she stated, “if we do not
persuade our government to abol
ish the building of armaments,
other nations will go on building
them until finally a ‘preventive’
war will result. The munition man
ufacturers are working hard to
abolish disarmament conferences
and it is up to us to work just as
hard to bring about world peace.”
Large Amount Spent
“While we claim to be a peace
nation,” she continued, “we spend
more money for past wars than
any other nation of the world.
MoFe than $238,000,000 is spent ev
ery year in America for battle
ships, and 600,000 people get
something out of armaments.”
Speaking of past disarmament
conferences, Miss Rankin depre

Dr. Nakamura
Denies Causes
For Hostilities
Japanese Called Pupils
Of America
FRIENDSHIP IS FELT
Speaker Declares American Navy
In Pacific. Superfluous, Asks
Quota Immigration
“Take the money spent on na
vies and build a bridge across the
Pacific," advised Dr. Kaju Naka
mura, Japanese diplomat, who
spoke at Villard hall last night.
Dr. Nakamura, who has made
six round-the-world trips and has
crossed the Pacific 30 times, com
mented upon the general feeling
of friendship for Japan which he
has encountered during his travels.
“We hear of possible war between
America and Japan, but if we
would look upon the Pacific as a
connecting link between teacher
and pupil, there would be no need
for misunderstanding,” he de
clared. “Japan is the pupil of
America, and becau’se she is grow
ing up and wants to feel indepen
dent there is no need to become
alarmed. All pupils sooner or later
grow up.”
Misunderstanding Feared
The Japanese educator stated
he was not afraid of guns, of arm
aments and ships, but misunder
standing between nations. “My
people are different from your peo
ple in their customs,” he said, giv
ing illustrations to prove the
point, “and it is sometimes diffi
cult for us to understand each oth
er, but if we try to comprehend
the reasoning of the other person,
, there should be no difficulty.”
Nakamura characterized Japan’s
problem as being the world’s prob
lem. “Everyone has a right to
fight for his existence,” he said,
“and Japan is doing just that.”
Friendship Promoted
Dr. Nakamura has been instru
mental in promoting a more friend
ly feeling between Japan and the
United States. He had much to do
with sending three Japanese uni
versity students to this country
last year. He was also responsible
for their visit to the University
last November.
When the University’s Pacific
basin good-will debate team
stopped in Japan two years ago,
Nakamura took a personal inter
est in the aims of the tour and
saw that the debaters understood
Japan’s viewpoint in regard to the
Manchurian situation, which w-as
particularly active at that time.
Fleet Not Needed
In a Portland interview, Naka
mura suggested that Japan invite
the entire American fleet to visit
its shores and have the sailors
meet the Japanese people in order

Delta Gams Lose Borrowed
Pdlice Siren; Offer Reward
By WINSTON ALLARD
Somebody stolen a siren from
the Delta Gamma house late Fri
day night—not the regular type of
D. G. siren to be found on the
front porch late Friday nights but
a large nickel-plated, electric po
lice siren, equipped with a storage
battery. The equipment, borrowed
from Chief of Police Carl Berg
man, was used as a noise-maker in
the homecoming parade. Friday,
in preparation for the dance it was
moved to the front porch.
The last Delta Gam arriving
home at 12:14 3-4 saw the nickel
plated object gleaming from the
darkness but the early risers found
it not. During the night some per
son or persons unknown removed
the siren for some reason also un
known. The Delta Gammas believe
it was done in a spirit of fun by
some one with a misguided sense
of humor.
“We simply must have that si
ren back," said Louise Carpenter
last night. “Imagine me having to
tell the chief of police that I have
lost his own personal siren. Fun is
fun but this is going a little too
far and besides it will cost us at
least $45 if we can’t return it.”
All of the men’s houses were
called last night and all of them
professed their innocence in in
jured tones, according to Mi3s Car
penter. “They all sounded guilty
to me,” she said.
Appealing to the unknown per
petrators of the deed, the spokes
man for the Delta Gams plead with
tears in her eyes, “Please bring
back the siren. We will pay a re
ward, ask no questions, perhaps
(later) even laugh at the joke—
only bring back the siren.”
She was led away shaking with
sobs.
Future Transportation
A working' model of the latest
type of “railplane,” which London
engineers envision as the chief
mode of urban transportation in
the future.

Dr. Nakamura Yisilor
In University Library
Dr. Kaju Nakamura, Japanese
diplomat who spoke in Villard hall
last night on “Japanese-American
Relations," yesterday visited the
League of Nations publications de
partment in the library.
He showed much interest in the
collection of literature of and about
the league, and asked about the
extent to which the material found
there was used.
Dr. Nakamura appeared to be
greatly interested in the success
of the league, and was of the opin
ion that if the United States had

Because of the expense that
would have been entailed, the Uni

order that the Webfoot team might
have its customary support.
The Huntington Park band
numbers 35 pieces in contrast to

by John Stehn.
The total cost of sending the
University band to California
would have amounted to over
$1900, according to Tom Stoddard,
assistant graduate manager.

University Medical Service
Safeguards Student Health
I
From September 18 until com
mencement. there is always a doc
1 tor available for students. He may
be secured by calling the infirm
ary. The campus physicians are
| on call at all times, 24 hours a day
every day, including holidays and
vacations.
If patients are able they should
call at the dispensary, during
hours, before going to the infirm
ary. However, if this is impossi
| ble they may go directly to the in
firmary.
■ If a doctor is called to the resi
:; dence of a patient a charge of $1
-I for day calls and $2 for night calls
: is made.
When a student calls for a doc
tor out of hours, he should call
the infirmary, as he will be then
; sure of reaching one. The doctors
) may not always be reached at
- home, so it °is always advisable to
call the infirmary.
The doctors rotate their call du
- ties. If a patient calls for a eer
i tain doctor and they say he is not
. on call it merely means that he is
off duty, but one of the others will
attend to the case.
The infirmary is governed by the
same rules as a hospital, so that
patients are admitted only by the
direction of a doctor, unless it is
a very special case. If a patient is
; too ill to go to the dispensary first
j he may state his ailments over
the phone and go directly to the
j infirmary.
All treatment is free with the
following exceptions: any special
treatment, as a series of vaccine
for colds which is a special service,
the cost of materials is relatively
high, and the value of the treat
ment is debateable; prescriptions if
very large, and some psysiother
apy.
X-rays are given free of charge.
In the infirmary students are al
j lowed five days free board and
j room, after this period there is a
charge of $3 a day. Students are
| allowed five days free board and
| room in the infirmary each term,
which are accumulative in the
school year, but may not be held
| over from year to year.
