Dr. de Villiers Might Well
Lead Campus Discussions
SEVERAL people on the campus have expressed
the futility of attempting to stimulate in the
students insterest in world affairs. The quite gen
eral opinion is that college students are college
students and that is all it amounts to.
The Emerald realizes that the student’s time
is well occupied with studies, and that a thorough
understanding of what is taking place abroad and
at home is hardly possible what with the presence
of diverting academic pursuits and activities.
However by way of help, the Emerald sug
gests a possible even though temporary "out" to
this situation.
At present there' is a large, amiable, and ex
ceedingly interesting man on the campus Dr.
Cornelius de Villiers. He is visiting Oregon as a
representative of the Carnegie Peace Foundation
and he hails from far away South Africa where
he is the faculty head of Stellenbosch university.
He is witty, brilliant, and very well-informed on
world affairs. His great size, booming voice, and
rich personality, would be appreciated by any
fraternity, sorority, or dormitory which would
take time to listen. This man has something to
say and says it with the incomparable charm of
an English accent.
Dr. de Villiers will be on the campus for one
month. If the Interfraternity council and the
Pan Hellenic council and the Interdormitory
council would express enough interest and at
tempt to work out a schedule with Dr. de Vil
liers, he would leave the students of this school
with firm, clear-cut impressions and facts that
would “stick" and add to a further understanding
of a rather badly confused world.
Japan Utilizes
Mussolini’s Smoke Screen
TIN examining the New York Times Index, it is
* found that last yoar (1934 > the Times carried
dispatches from the Orient in re annexation of
Manehukuo, the condensed forms of which were:
January 10- “Tokyo says enthronment of Pli
Yi will emphasize finality of separation from
China. No link to China and annexation of north
China planned."
January 14 -“Pu Yi inspired by divine will to
accept throne. Japanese defend theory."
January 10 "Japanese spokesman describes
purpose; says sway will not be widened to Mon
golia and north China.”
This was January, 1934.
It is now November, 1935.
While the League of Nations has been work
ing toward a settlement of the Italian-Ethiopian
dispute, far on the other side of the world a
nation of little slant-eyed men has been cautious
ly but deftly dissecting the wallowing dragon ot
China. It is but a matter of days until Japan
sends 11 divisions of troops into the five provinces
- Hopeh, Chahar, Shantung, Shansi and Suiuan.
These provinces have a combined population
of 95,000,000 people. They represent an area of
437,326 square miles or about the same amount of
land as represented by Montana, Washintgon.
Oregon and California. Iron ore is abundant near
the anthracite fields of Shansi, where it is as
serted is the oldest iron industry in the world.
Hopeh and Shantung are also rich in iron.
In the last two years Japan has acquired
control over land equal to that of combined
Oregon, Washington, California, Montana, Ne
vada, Arizona, Utah, and part of Idaho. Ac
companying the land have been 120,000,000
people, and vast potential power represented by
rich iron, coal, and other mineral deposits. Ot
China's 977,000,000 tons of ore a large part is
to be found in the territory now eyed by the
Japanese.
The territory now under "consideration" by
the Japanese is one and one fourth again as
large as entire Ethiopia and is occupied by nine
times as many people.
Italy is under the dictatorship of one man,
Mussolini. Japan is under the dictatorship of
one class, militarists. Italy is after land for ex
pansion and wealth for exploitation. Japan is
after the same thing. Italians are white men
burning with nationalistic pride inculcated by
the yelps of Mussolini. Japanese are orientals
inspired by intense and deeply-rooted devotion
to death while in service of their country as a
sure way to heaven.
The eyes of the world and of the League of
Nations are on the western hemisphere, while in
the eastern hemisphere, Japan marches on. Per
haps they are right, perhaps they are wrong.
Our children may have to decide that with sanc
tions, boycotts, and bullets.
But until then—oh well—.
January 1957 “Tokyo says that the enthrone
ment of Blank Plunk as emperor of China will
emphasize finality of separation from an inalien
able right as free people. No link to Europe and
anexation of (?) is planned.’’
Politics Should Not
Determine Tariff Attitude
OEEKING economic arguments on the Cana
^ dian-United States trade treaty in the edi
torials of the past few days is like finding the
proverbial needle in a haystack. They are so
hidden under political issues that they are easily
skipped over, leaving their meaning obscure and
giving the impression that politics is of para
mount importance in considering the question.
In recent editorials of three of Oregon's
papers were found five economic theories as to
the outcome of this agreement:
1. The unhampered flow of trade between the
United States and Canada will result in increased
business and will create new markets for the
lumber of the Northwest and therefore no danger
is to be feared.
2. There was no tariff before 1929 and it
was during this period that the lumber industry
grew and was prosperous.
3. The treaty is a great danger to the lumber
industry because since 1929 United States pro
duction costs have gone up while Canadian costs
have been held down.
4. The increased production of the Canadian
mills during this six year period is also feared.
British Columbia mills are at 130 per cent of
pre-depression production while the Northwest
mills are at 52 per cent.
5. The reduction of tariff will cripple the
lumber industry, the basic industry of the North
west, to such an extent that it will result in a j
decreased activity in every line of business and
industry and in reduced employment and reduced
payrolls.
It is only when the citizens of the Northwest
take economic beliefs such as these and weigh
carefully the validity of each that a soundly
based opinion can be formed. When the political
issues are intermixed among the economic ef
fects, prejudices are aroused to such an extent
that it is difficult to think constructively. Then
when we have thoroughly considered the eco
nomic merits and demerits of the question, and
only then, may we with justification attack or
defend Franklin D. Roosevelt’s policy.

request. Contributors are asked to lie brief, the editors reserv
ing the riaht to condense all letters of over 800 words anil to
accept or reject letters upon the criteria of general editorial
importance and interest to the campus.
Td the editor:
A matter worthy of consideration by the stu
dents of the University of Oregon is the lack of
a formalized preparation which would contribute
a very important part to their social education.
There are many students attending the Uni
versity who, because of the lack of knowledge in
dancing, refrain from attending social functions.
This should not be the case. Dancing is an art
which has been handed down to us from the very
beginning of civilivation. It is essentially a form
of relaxation. It develops poise, grace, and is a
social asset.
It is expedient that a course in elementary
ballroom dancing be offered in this school for
both men and women. Such a course is offered
by Oregon State college, and the University of
Washington at the present time and is well at
tended at both schools.
If such a course were to be put into effect
on this campus, living organizations would profit
in as much as their pledges and members would
be taught the Terpsichorean art.
If there is a sufficient number of interested
students on the campus to make such a course
worth while, Dean Bovard of the school of
physical education, has given his assurance that
this cause will have his full support.
Sincerely,
Stuart Mockford

Here is something in the nature
of a pip on Fred Allen, well liked
NBC comedian. It seems that bro
ther Allen is simply cr-razy about
gliders motorless airplanes to
you, Goodwin and he makes pa
per models of the darn things all
the time. He made a swell one last
week, and then sailed it out of his
hotel window. Cooing happily to
himself he watched the paper
plane spiral down, down into the
traffic of the street. Then,, and not
until then, did he realize that the
plane had been made from the last
page of hit “Town' Hall tonight”
script over which he had been la
boring for the past two hours.

This is new. Seems a Pennsyl
vania freight train plowed into an
automobile at a grade crossing.
The locomotive left the > track,
dragging 19 cars behind it, and
the engineer and fireman were

Trifle unusual with a passenger
auto, all right. But if these big
inter-city trucks get any bigger,
the trains will be stopping at
grade crossings to see if there is
a truck coming before they cross
the road.

The British steamship Farnham
was delayed in sailing- from Bos
ton recently. The “Farnham” was
carrying 5,000 tons of scrap iron
and steel to Genoa, Italy. Italian
bullets of course. So the crew of
the Farnham quit cold, refusing to
work a ship that was carrying war
materials to Italy.
Such a spirit among sailors
should mean something. Sailors,
as a class, like nothing better than
a good fight. And when Sailors
get so disgusted with world condi
tions that they won’t work a ship
carrying war materials, it would
seem to us that the people of the
world are, indeed, sick and tired
of international hatred and wars
for profit and exploitation.

Members of the cast of the
"Queen’s Husband" will present
short skits during the Emerald
Quarter-Hour this afternoon. The
"Queen’s Husband” is to be played
at the University theatre this
weekend.
Big Time on the Air
Elmer Layden, Notre Dame’s
football coach, will be a guest
speaker on the Kellogg College
Prom this evening at 5:30. To
morrow his “Fighting Irish” clash
with the U.S.C. Trojans. A mem
ber of Knute Rockne’s famous
“Four Horsemen” at Notre Dame,
Layden is rounding out his second
year as coach at his alma mater.
After his graduation in 1925 he
played pro ball for a year, coached
at Columbia college in Dubuque,
Iowa, for a year, and then became
coach at Duquesne.
A radio adaptation of “Stars
Over Broadway,” the new motion
picture starring- James Melton and
Jane Froman, will be produced on
the air for the first time tonight
at 8:30 on the Palmolive Beauty
Box theatre broadcast with Mel
ton and Miss Froman in their orig
inal screen roles, almost simultan
eously with the opening of the
film in many theatres throughout
the country.
New song hits created for the
picture and featured in the broad
cast will include, “You Let Me
Down,” “Where Am I?” and “At
Your Service, Madame." The story
concerns the struggle of two tal
ented young singers to reach the
heights in the show business. Jack
Dempsey’s midtown restaurant
and other familiar Manhattan
night life scenes form the setting
for the plot.

any sign before his door advertising rooms, my
host turned away a half dozen visitors trying to
find a place to sleep. Thousands spent the night
before the procession on the benches along the
Thames embankment or on the ground in Hyde
park.
May 0 was a perfect spring day. My host
and myself were up at six, legging it down
Chancery lane. We cruised up Fleet street to St.
Paul’s, but finally came back to the Law Courts,
where we found a place behind three rows of
country folk, many of whom had spent the night
on the curb, and were now shaving or making
up. oblivious to the hundreds milling about them.
Every shop along the five-mile route had its
windows filled with rows of benches, selling seats
at from S'-’d to $80 each. The stands erected out
side were sold and the proceeds went to charity,
but many a storekeeper netted several hundreds
of dollars for the half hour of the procession.
From seven o’clock until twelve we stood in
one position, as the sun biased down ever hotter.
Two lines of bobbies and soldiers reinforced the
curb, but there was never any need of them.
The good nature of the mobbed watchers was
astounding They yelled ribald remarks at the
embroidered dignitaries who passed before us on
their way to St Paul’s and the ceremonies of
the morning, but there was no irritation.
Aat t»u o’clock the black-and-white uni
formed hospital corps began to run back and
forth along the line, giving aid to the fainting,
who couldn't stand up to the fiery sun and the
myriad breathes of the spectators crowding in
upon them. An elderly lady nearby collapsed
with a sigh. “Hospital men!" we all shouted, and
our lady was carried away on a stretcher. A
man beside me became ominously pale. “Are
you sick. George?” his wife asked anxiously.
George bit his lip and said no. he'd be all right.
"Steady on old man," his friend encouraged,
handing along the smelling salts. And the sun
beat unmercifully down.
Three minutes before the king's coach a uni
formed messenger pelted down the center of the
otherwise deserted street, and the crowd howled
with laughter.
The clamor grows, beats about our ears, is
flung back and forth between the buildings, a
million voices shouting, "Long live the king!"
"Present arms!” bellows the lieutenant of
the territorials. The royal carriage at the trot.
Hats off, streamers waving, all weariness for
gotten. The queen looked marvelous in a fluffy
white ensemble. The king was grave and com
posed. The uproar billows on, as the monarch
passes on his way.
That was all: no pageantry, no attempt at a

The checkers of registration

In the space that was left for
“Church Preference” she had
boldly lettered in the words
“Kappa Alpha Theta.”

One of the Emerald’s lighter

“So,” he queried. “What house

“Phi Delt,” she returned, with
