Maritime Trouble
Japan to the South
W ill Martin W in?
UNIONISM'S suicidal policy on
the Pacific coast dealt itself
another blow yesterday with the
announcement of charges prefered
by Shangai’s District Attorney
Feltham Watson against union
seamen. D. A. Watson alleged that
seafaring unions have put “wreck
ing crews’’ aboard practically
every boat on trans-Pacific runs.
Union officials at Shanghai
promptly asserted Watson’s state
ments were a canard.
Rumble from the East
The Shanghai barrister charged
the unions with engineering the
beating of four non-union seamen
on the Dollar Liner President Jef
ferson ,a fracas for which nine
union salts are held under bond.
Whether or no the maritime unions
are such flagrant advocates of
sabotage as the Shanghai attorney
intimates, it is nevertheless time
labor cocked an ear to the growing
wave of public sentiment.
Frisco Once More?
The late war of San Francisco
irked both press and public more
than a little, and although the
antics of General Bridges and his
troops in their guerilla warfare
against General Merriam provided
good copy for the nation’s news
papers, it must be remembered
that likewise provided were not
only feelings of concern by capit
alist interests, but also profound
irritation by San Franciscans and
citizens in general.
Prologue or Epilogue?
If labor interests, by their mari
time sabotage, desire to supply an
added chapter to the story of the
current longshoremen’s difficulties,
it may well prove an epilogue to
the cause of unionism on the Pac
ific coast for some years to come.
\ detail that has brought no
small worry to economic cir
cles in the United States’ present
“self-sufficiency” program is the
gradual evanescence of our South
American export trade. Although
worried, Washington was prepared
to give no definite figures as to
export decreases, authoritative
sources have displayed a good deal
of concern over the matter.
jitpuiurar nuius
Marauding nation is Japan.
Hindered by no minimum price
codes and controlled production,
the land of the setting sun has
been breaking down the Monroe
doctrine via the trade route faster
and more successfully than any
other export-minded nation has
been able to do in recent years.
Doctrine or Exploitation?
Any student of American history
can tell you that the famed Mon
roe doctrine was originally framed
with far more of an economic and
exploitational value than writers
of chauvinistic history texts are
prepared to grant. And save for
good-sized inroads by British in
terests, South America has proved
a very pretty potato-patch for
Uncle Sam to hoe. For a hunderd
years the red, white and blue has
waved over most of the capitalist
ic ventures in South America’s oil,
mining and agrarian interests. Will
the rising sun of Japan supplant
the stars and stripes ?
A New Sphere
If the present trend keeps up,
Washington may have a good deal
to say to Tokio in the near future.
Neighbors already, with but the
Pacific between them, the United
States has shown no great desire
to have Japan any closer. The en
croachment in South America can
not but be regarded as a menace
to American capital, and ergo, to
American government.
ALL reliable predictions point to
another Democratic sweep
across the boards on the coming
election day. Republican propa
ganda and General Farley’s bear
stories to one side, the halfway
mark on Roosevelt's recovery pro
gram seems to find him more pop
ular than ever. No doubt does there
seem that Roosevelt will have an
obedient congress behind him down
the home stretch, and unpartisan
critics will agree that he might
just as well have unbounded sup
port for the whole four years,

its administration and financing;
taxation from the municipal view
point; professionalizing the mu
nicipal service; the place of cities
in federal and state planning; low
cost housing, the city activity of
the future; and municipal leagues'
recent developments.
Kehrli, on his way back to Chi
cago, will visit Stanford univer
sity, University of Southern Cali
fornia, and the University of Min
nesota to gather information us
able for possible new classes to be
offered next year in the University.
He is a graduate of Reed college
and came to Eugene to accept the
position as head of the municipal
research and service bureau from
Minnesota where, for a year pre
vious, he had been working with
and studying methods of a bureau
in that state similar to the one he
is managing here.

Ticket Orders Sent Out
Mail orders are already being
sent out for the Oregon-Oregon
State game, to be played in the

Describes Hitler
Methods to OSC
Editorial Ingenuity Is Used
Only on Pro-Government
‘Heads,’ Says Landeen
CORVALLIS, Ore., Oct. 17.—
(API- Newspaper editors in Ger
many are allowed to use their in
genuity only in writing favorable
headlines about Adolph Hitler and
his government, students at Ore
gon State college here were told
during an address today by Dr.
William M. Landeen, college presi
dent of Walla Walla, Wash.
Dr. Landeen was in Germany at
the time a plebecite was taken on
Hitler's assumption of the presi
dency. He is well known for his
studies of European political and
economic conditions.
During his address, the educator
also declared that Hitler acquired
complete domination of Germany
only upon the disintegration of the
German republic, which faded out
for want of citizens. The Germany
of today, united under Hitler, must
now be regarded as a powerful na
tion and one to be reckoned with,
Dr. Landeen said.
Elections Will Be Held

Anthropological Collection
Held Under Direction
Of Cressman
An anthropological collection
containing hundreds of exhibits
from the recent Gold Hill discov
eries, the Condon collection and
others, has been opened at the
University under the direction of
Dr. L. S. Cressman, professor of
sociology and an authority on an
thropology of the northwest.
The exhibit occupies the two
north rooms on the second floor of
Condon hall, and was made possi
ble by CWA funds. In all, 13 cases
are on exhibit, and since these
cannot hold nearly all the mate
rial available for collections, the
contents will be changed occasion
ally.
Dr. Cressman during the past
few years has made many discov
eries of anthropological interest in
Oregon, samples of which are in
cluded in the collection. His dis
covery of evidences of early In
dians in mounds near Gold Hill
attracted national attention.
The exhibit also contains five
cases of Indian baskets, a gift to
the University made by Mrs. Anna
Knox of Springfield and Mrs. Vin
cent Cook of Portland. These in
clude handiwork of Indians from
northern California to Alaska. An
other valuable collection of Indian
baskets, the Ada B. Millican col
lection, is located on the third floor
of Gerlinger hall.
The exhibits are open to the pub
lic as well as students and faculty.
Hopkins May Organize
Girls’ Chording Class
Regarding the “chording class,”
under George Hopkins, a class for
those interested in learning how
to play piano for their own amuse
ment, mentioned last week, Mr.
Hopkins tells us that several wo
men students have shown a desire
to enroll.
Although the class was begun
primarily for interested men stu
dents, Mr. Hopkins states that if
enough women are interested a
class for women might be organ
ized. The requirements here would
be the same as for the men; name
ly, liking for music, an interest in
it, and no previous training.
Master, Dance Tryout

Alice Hult was elected to Master
dance at the first tryout held this
term in Gerlinger hall Wednesday

Emerald Leadership
Race Ended; Acting
Editor Will Remain
Malcolm Bauer Assigned to Permanent
Managing Editor Position by
New Incumbent
By MARGE PETSCH
William Phipps, senior journalism student, was selected yesterday
afternoon as editor of the Emerald by the executive council. According
to Joe Renner, president of the A.S.U.O., and chairman of the council,
Phipps was appointed on the basis of “more mature judgement, ex
perience, and ability," as exhibited in his interview with the publica
tions committee on Tuesday.
That the choice was not made without some serious consideration
was evidenced by the fact that the council engaged in an hour's dis
cussion before accepting the recommendation of the publications com
mittee. They are in unanimous approval, however, of the efficient
leadership shown by Phipps during the past week as temporary
editor of the Emerald, and of his outstanding record in journalism.
Article by Allen
Included in Book
An account, which tells of the
impressions a traveler receives as
he gets into an ordinary Japanese
train, written by Dean Allen of
the University school of journal
ism, is included in James A. B.
Scherer's new book, "Japan’s Ad
vance."
Dean Allen's article was pub
lished first in the Oregon Journal
after his visit to the Orient in 1933.
It gives a description of the Jap
anese trains of today.
The book, "Japan’s Advance," is
a survey of the amazing industrial
revolution achieved by the rising
young giant of the east, and Jap
an’s new place as a world power.
It is published by the Hokuseido
press in Japan.
Series of Radio Talks
On Modern Law Begun
Through the cooperation of the
University of Oregon law school
and the public relations committee
of the Oregon State bar associa
tion a series of radio addresses
are being given over KOAC every
Thursday evening from 8:15 to
8:30 p. m.
Members of the law faculty from
the law school here and several
prominent practitioners have been
invited to join the program which
is entitled “Law in Modern Socie
ty.”
The first address was broadcast
by C. G. Howard, professor in the
law school, who spoke on the na
ture and source of law last Thurs
day. Wayne L. Morse, dean of the
law school, will be heard Thurs
day, October 18, on trends in the
law, and on October 25 will speak
on proposed criminal law reforms.
Other lectures which will be in
cluded in the series will be an
nounced later.
fmpps announced last evening
the appointment of Malcolm Bauer
as permanent managing editor of
the Emerald. “Bauer’s appointment
as permanent mananging editor of
the Emerald came as a logical cul
mination of his long experience in
various capacities on the Emerald
and as a result of his efficient
managing and coordinating of the
staff during the past trying
week,” the editor stated.
In regard to the publication of
the paper, Phipps asserted. "The
Emerald wants to be a paper for
all the students—a forum for their
opinions, a record of their doing3,
a. promoter of the intellectual, ar
tistic, athletic and general welfare
of the whole body of men and
women who make up the Univer
sity of Oregon.”
The editor had, up until the time
of his recent appointment, held the
office of business manager of the
Oregana. His resignation was auto
matically effected when his ap
pointment to the editorship was
made.
George Turnbull, professor of
journalism, who is Emerald advisor
and a member of the publications
committee, said last night that the
outlook was promising for an ex
ceptionally good Emerald year.
“I am not authorized to speak
for the publications committee, but
I can express my personal hope
that with the advent of the new
regime the unfortunate misunder
standings of the last few days will
be cleared up. Having observed the
committee work, I feel sure noth
ing but a feeling for the best in
terests of the student body and the
University as a whole has actuated
the membership.
“The choice of editor seems a
particularly happy one. Mr. Phipps,
the newly appointed editor, is a
newspaper man of considerable
experience on and off the campus;
his work in the recent emergency
has developed growing respect for
his ability and judgment; he merits
and doubtless will have the sup
port of the vast majority of the

Marshal's Story Features Old
U. ofO. in October Magazine
The Oregon university campus
of 20 or 30 years ago comes in
for some publicity in the October
20 issue of Liberty, in a short
story by Edison Marshall, well
known writer who attended the
University in 1912 and 1913,
Persons familiar with the history
of the campus during that period
are quick to point out that the fic
titious characters in Marshall’s
story, “The Marquis Plays Poker"
have their counterparts in real
campus figures of around 1912,
says Sterling Green in the Oregon
Journal. Green, who was at the
helm of the Emerald a year- ago, is
a member of the Oregon Journal
staff.
Such familiar words appear as
“Villard,” and “Deady.” In fact |
Marshall in so many words places ,
a good part of the setting on the
Oregon university campus.
How the hero of the story, one I
Tomimi Izumo, rose to a position
of high rank in his country’s serv
ice, is paralleled by the actual his
tory of Yosuke Matsuoka, one of
Oregon’s most famous graduates.
Several other characters in the
story apparently have their proto
types in the history of the Univer
sity. For instance, it has been
pointed out by old graduates that
Marshall’s "Dick Smith of Sigma
Nu" was the real Dick Smith, Sig
ma Nu, who figured prominently
in campus activities in the early
part of the century. The "Fred
Weaver” is thought to be J. Fred
Staver, who is in the realty busi
ness in Portland today.
Illustrated by the famous artist,
Frank Godwin, the story is in
tensely interesting to university
students and the people of Eugene
in general. So much so, in fact,
that many people are permanently
preserving the October 20 copy of
Liberty.
