England’s Interest in India
'Feudal,’ Mohan Raj Asserts
Speaking before the Condon I
club last night in the women’s j
lounge at Gerlinger hall Mohan V.
Raj, Indian graduate student in
journalism at the University, told
of India’s climate, geography, and
population while students of ge
ography, having recently studied
the far east, fired questions at
him regarding Indian life and cul
ture during his informal talk.
Mr. Raj described India as be
ing about two-thirds of the size of
America while its population is
more than double that of the
United States. Americans, he said,
average 36 persons per square mile
while in Bombay there are 225 per
sons per square mile. He further
stated that India has 600 petty,
dictatorial states with one chief(
controlling, feudalistically, a s
many as 21,000,000 people. Mr.
Raj asserted that these dictators
have an income of millions of dol
lars, own as many as 600 Ameri
can made automobiles, drink per
fumed coffee and smoke from
pipes containing perfume.
When asked if he thought India
could govern herself without Eng
land’s help, Mr. Raj showed great
anxiety to dip deeply into the
question. He said, “the feudal
aristocratic interest (economic)
is the reason for England’s concern
for India and not because she can
not take care of herself. And re
gardless of whether India can rule
herself or not she should have the
right to be free in her own
country.’’

Falls Far Short

Oregon Stale Sales Abovi
Local Totals
The current drive to sell studen
body tickets has fallen far short c
the expected goal, netting onl
1040 sales up to date.
There were no more living or
ganizations that reported 100 pe

though it was rumored that sev
eral more were nearing the maxi
mum quota.
James Flais, co-chairman of th
spring term campaign, issued th
following statement last night
“With spring term class and stu
dent body elections nearing, w
feel that many more students wil
purchase their membership card
so as to entitle them to the votin;
privilege. After the campaig
closes, we are going to be ver
rigid in the attempt to keep non
student body members from secur
ing privileges financially supporte.

Oregon State’s card sales hav
surpassed the local campaign an>
it appears that Oregon will hav

' | last night by Registrar Earl M.
Pallett. chairman of the commit
tee on federal relief for students.
A cut to 25 per cent of the reg
ular allotment for the month had

’ due to a failure of funds to come
l through from the state relief com
11 mittee.

the restoration of full-time work
' almost certain, but notification of
the return of funds did not arrive
until yesterday.

Goudy, administrator of the state

Yearlings Souse
Fuzzy-faced Lads
In Revenge Battle
—
The male members of the fresh
man class went to the millrace
yesterday noon to seek revenge.
They got it!
The “class war” started Tuesday
noon in front of the Gamma Phi
house while the wearers of the
moleskins were heaving th.eir
beardless members into the
stream. It seems that they took
offense at seeing so many fresh
man spectators. By 1 o’clock, all
the freshmen had been thoroughly
soused, as well as the sophomores
who had refused to raise whiskers
for the “Days of ’49” dance to
night.
Wednesday, a large group of
men, clad in the traditional tin
pants, hurried to the millrace, to
await the rumored onslaught of
sophomores.
The sophomores didn’t show up.
Yesterday noon about 12:30 a
huge bodv of freshmen appeared
on the bridge, vainly waiting for
the moleskin clad youths with the
fuzzy faces. Finally they arrived.
When the smoke had cleared the
results were that every sophomore
j who appeared was thoroughly
i drenched irt the murky waters,
i Freshmen? Yes, many of them hit
! the waves also.

Japanese Hold Key Position
For East And West Harmony
The Japanese are the only peo
ple gifted to achieve harmony be
tween the occidental and oriental
worlds- such was the idea ad
vanced yesterday by Mr. Ken Tsu
rumi, new consul of Japan in
Portland. The sleekly groomed
littlt consul had much to say yes
terday as he paused in an inspec
tion tour of the Murray Warner
art museum. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Murray Warner and Toy
oichi Nakamura, ex-Japanese con
sul to Portland.
The consul explained that for a
long time Japan practiced the
closed door policy, but that finally
other nations were admitted and
Japan learned the imperialistic
policy. “We had to learn the west
ern ways in science, navies, rail
way building and engineering,” he
said, “after the door was opened.”
Japan clings to her traditional
art, though it is gradually chang
ing under occidental influence Mr.
Tsurumi said.
"It is the sublime objective to
harmonize the western and east
ern nations,” he said. "The Jap
anese are the only ones who could
do it.”
He explained his position by tell
ing how Japanese children learn
English with their ABC’c. Thej
are taught the American point oi
view. He feels that this enables
them to understand both the east
ern and western cultures.
“We love the American frank
ness,” the consul remarked and
continued to say that the Japan
ese feel that they have the same
spirit toward progress as the
Americans—energy, enthusiasm
"we cannot stand still,” he said.
To a question concerning the
most popular profession in Japan,
Mr. Tsurumi said emphatically,
"Soldier!”
The reporters exchanged puzzled
glances. Tsurumi had just finished
