Russia’s Success In Five-Year Plan Explained by Talk Lecture Base?! on Observations Made of Industry, Culture During Travels The success of. the Russian five year plan and the part played by the women and children in the development of a great industrial system in Russia were stressed in a speech made last night in Vil lard hall by John E. Snider of Berkeley, representative of the Friends of the Soviet Union. Snider’s lecture waO entitled “Mother, Child, and Youth Life as It Pertains to the Planned Econ omy in the Soviet Union,’’ and was based on observations on Russian industry and culture made when the lecturer travelled through the Union in 1931, making a complete totir of the factories and schools developed through the five-year plan. Women are acting in the capaci ties of policemen, street sweepers, and street car conductors, he said, taking the same part they have played in the progress of old Eu rope, with the addition of science. Workers in Prussian factories at the completion of half the time allotted the five-year plan were anxious to show Snider the unex pected results of their efforts, the unanticipated success in such fields as agriculture, electricity, and oil, as he travelled in Russia. Around the lecture room and upon the stage in the Villard as (Continucd on Page Three) Biography of Leaders Contains Life of U’Ren “Upbuilders,” Lincoln Steffens’ biography of recent leaders, con tains a chapter devoted to the life of William Simon U’Ren, father of direct legislation, who spoke last night at the Anchorage at a dinner given by The Score, Uni versity of Oregon Liberals’ club. The book is on display at the circulation desk of the old libe. Mill Race Becomes Scene of Action as Work is Rushed With the Canoe Fete but two days off, the work of building floats, decorating the stage and the queen’s throne, and construct ing the archway across the mill race are all being rushed so that everything will be in readiness by Saturday afternoon. Judging from the elaborate floats now under construction above the Anchorage, this year’s fete will be on of the finest, according to George Schenk, chairman. The fete this year is entitled “Where Rolls the Oregon,” and will be in keeping with the 75th anniversary of the state. The floats will each depict some phase of pioneer life or events, the pro grams, designed by Frances Heif rich, sophomore in art, will show an Indian and an aviator, typify ing the old and the new, with their arms outstretched towards a cornucopia—typifying the fertility and opportunity of the state. The decorations in front of the grand stands will all be in the atmos ■ phere of the early days of the state. 'ihe archway across the mill race will be decorated to represent a log- blockhouse, and it is planned that as soon as the queen's barge appears, the orchestra will begin to play “Land of the Empire Builders.” Ralph Schomp, varsity track star, will be master of cere monies, and will unroll the pag^s of history as each float appears. He will be garbed in an appropri ate costume, with a fur cap, and typical trapper's outfit. A string of large, colored lights will be strung along the bottom of the race, and will add a colorful and unique effect to the whole proceedings. A telephone system is being installed from the chair man's stage so that each of the eleven floats participating in the fete may be started at the right moment. A public address system of loud-speakers also will be used, and every section of the grand stands will thus be enabled to hear all of the program. A special fea ture of the fete will be the ap pearance of the Eugene Gleemen, noted men’s glee club.

Governmental Trends Shown By U’Ren Talk Speaker Praises Young Political Groups FLAWS POINTED OUT Modern Killing Devices Explained In Address Sponsored by Local Liberal Group Every man who is willing to work must “own a job.” So Wil liam S. U’Ren, practical politician and originator of the Oregon sys tem of direct legislation, declared last night at a dinner given in his honor at the Anchorage by Score, campus liberals’ club. “You must rebuild and reorgan ize this government of the people and by the people for economic justice for the common man," U’Ren said. “Your government is not, and can not be a success so long as one citizen who is willing to work does not enjoy all the creature comforts, material well being, and all the opportunities for the highest mental and spir itual development.” While he criticized the initiative and referendum, his own “brain children,” U’Ren pointed out that they were intended as tools to build a system rather than a sys tem in themselves. Showing how the direct primary law has failed to fulfill the purposes of its au thors, he described a proposed amendment which would mend its flaws. U’Ren Expresses Delight The main topic of U’Ren’s talk was “Signs of Progress.” The signs he indicated ranged from enacted and proposed laws to trends in social thought. He be gan by expressing his delight at the “growing independence of the faculties and individual professors in our institutions of higher learn ing.” He also praised such or ganizations as Score, as well as the Young Republican and Young Democratic club movement. Other forward steps he spoke of briefly included the constitu tional amendment to be voted on (Continued on Page Tivo) Pastor of Astoria Church to Deliver Graduate Sermoh Rev. J. D.

Noble, associate pro fessor of history and authority on contemporary world prob lems, in an exclusive Emerald interview. The recent Japanese declara tion of their intention to su pervise the foreign relations of China, and of their primary con cern in maintaining the peace ia Eastern Asia, is merely the cul mination of a policy which has been developing for the past 60 years. It is one aiming at domi nance and monopoly. This Japan ese policy is diametrically opposed to an American policy which has been developing for a somewhat longer period, namely, assistance to Asiatic nations in the preserva tion of their independence, and in the maintenance of the principle of equal opportunity for the trade of all nations in the orient, espe cially in China. Each policy has been expressed in specific acts and in the develop ment of extensive treaties. Today the policies are seen to be com pletely antagonistic. One nation or the other must either change its policy or settle the conflict of prin ciple by recourse to arms. * * * In 1915 the Japanese attempt to gain control over China in large measure was checked by ac tion of the United States. Again, in 1921-22 the United States acted to end Japanese occupation of east ern Siberia. In each case the Jap anese changed their policies for a period of years. Probably the Japanese chose this particular time for proclama tion of their sweeping claims be cause of a combination of factors, including the depression, the im passe in Franco-German relations and the withdrawal of the Ameri can fleet to the Atlantic, where it is to remain for six months. Hav ing made their declaration and not having retracted it in any signifi cant respect, the Japanese can now wait a considerable time before acting upon it, in the meanwhile allowing the world to understand that its policy has been definitely fixed.
