Abroad
The world has taken another
step toward that seemingly inevi
table conflict. In the cold grey
dawn of February 26 young army
fanatics struck to wipe out the
liberal element of the Japanese
government. They were highly
successful, Premier Keisuke Okada,
Admiral Viscount Makoto Saito,
former premier and at his death
lord keeper of the privy seal, and
General Jotaro Watanabe, chief of
military education, are dead. Kor
ekiyo Takahashi, minister of fi
nance, and Admiral Kantaro Suzu
ki, lord chamberlain of the impe
rial court, were wounded.
With the tight censorship that
Japan has clamped on, it is impos
sible to obtain an accurate picture
of just what the situation is, but
that it is very critical is indicated
by this very censorship.
London is quoted as observing
that the revolt was inspired by
three developments:
1. Lack of more forceful action
by the Japanese government in
Manchukuoan - Mongolian border
disputes.
2. The sudden unexplained halt
of Japanese penetration in north
China last November.
3. Dismissal of Gen, Jinzaburo
Mazaki, ex-inspector - general of
the military education department,
whose successor, Gen. Jotaro Wat
anabe, was reported assassinated.
The assassinations are the ex
treme militarists’ way of answer
ing the people of Japan, who only
last week voted against militarism
and for parliamentary rule by es
tablishing Premier Okada more
firmly in power than he had been
since his induction into office in
1934. The samurai, or the war
riors, have given notice that they
will brook no interference with
what they believe the proper course
to put Japan in her “place in the
sun.” They are off, and heaven
alone knows where they will end
up. The greatest of the moderate,
liberal statesmen have been done
away with. There are none to re
place them, and if there were,
what could they do? It has been
proven over and over again that
those who control the army con
trol the nation, and in Japan the
government does not control the
army or the navy. The ministers
of war and navy are from the ac
tive services and, though members
of the cabinet, are not responsible
to it or to parliament, so they do
just about as they please.
Russia eyes all this with grave
misgivings. The border clashes
along the Manchukuo-Outer Mon
golia frontier have intensified and
strained Russo-Japanese relations
almost to the breaking point. She

Pi Delta Plii Hears
Longfellow Story
Members of Pi Delta Phi heard
the story of Longfellow in France,
which was presented in French by
Dr. Carl Johnson, assistant pro
fessor, at the honorary's monthly
meeting in Gerlinger hall at 7:30.
Dr. Johnson, who spent two
years living at the home of Long
fellow while attending Cambridge
university, received his doctor’s de
gree in the subject of Longfellow
in France. While living at the
poet's home he had access to pri
vate correspondence and delved in
to hundreds of original manuscripts
of the great man kept in vaults.
Last evening he related in
French, Longfellow's voyage from
New York to Europe where he
visited not only France, but Italy,
Germany, and Spain as well.
The club decided to postpone the
meeting in March because of exams
and spring vacation. It was
planned to have a purely social
meeting, where French conversa
tion, songs, and games would pre
dominate.
'No Studying’ Sign Will Guard
Libe Browsing Room
“No studying allowed in this
room” or a sign of similar wordage
will guard the entrance to one of
the most important rooms in the
University’s new library, now
rapidly rising on what was once
called Kincaid field.
The room will be used exclusive
ly for pleasure reading, and an eye
to atmosphere is being studied
from the furniture standpoint. In
stead of the customary hard
seated desks, easy chairs and dav
enports, attractive floor lamps, and
a fireplace at each end of the room
will enrich its homelike appear
ance.
It has been tentatively called the
“browsing” room and will be open
to all students of the University.
Walls will be lined with good
books, most of which will be gifts,
all in shelves conveniently placed
for easy access and inspection.
There will be an attendant on
hand at all times, not to enforce
peace and quiet, but to help in the
selection of useful books, and to
charge out those the students want
to take home overnight.
The present plans for the struc
ture have placed the “browsing”
room on the main floor between
the two principal entrances, facing
Condon hall. It will be 25 by 90
feet with a north exposure assur
ing- ample daylight. Partial walls
will divide the loom into three
sections.

Emerald's Surprise Poll
Finds Offices Closely
o Contested; Davis and
BeLieu Near Top
Oregon students named Craig
Finley as popular choice for next
year's student body president over
A1 Davis, the closest candidate,
in an unofficial surprise straw vote
conducted by Emerald representa
tives during the dinner hour yes
terday. John Allen was high man
for vice-president.
Out of 919 votes cast for student
body president Finley ran up a to
tal of 258 votes. Davis and Ken
BeLieu ran a neck-and-neck sec
ond, totaling 127 and 126 respec
tively. Don Thomas led others
with 92 ballots.
1’re-cumpuign Choice
The vote was held to reveal the
choice of the entire student body
for class and student body offices,
before political machines swung in
to annual spring campaigns.
About fifty ballots were distrib
uted to students in an effort to get
a true consensus of all student liv
ing organizations. A special meet
ing of independents was held in
Gerlinger hall last night. One Em
erald representative went to each
living organization to supervise the
voting.
John Allen Wins
For vice-president of the student
body John Allen topped John
Thomas by 7 votes. Cecil Barker
trailed over one hundred votes be
hind.
Noel Benson, Ralph Cathey, and
A1 Carter, were named in that or
der on junior class presidency bal
lots. Not more than 20 votes sep
arated any of the candidates.
Popular choice for sophomore
class president was Bud Burnett
with 208 votes. He was defeated
for freshman class president last
fall. Bill Cummings was second
with 118 votes.
16 Senior Candidates
Out of 16 candidates for presi
dent of the next senior class Craig
Finley again took a first place with
142 votes. John Thomas, who
placed second in the student body
vice-presidency race, was also sec
ond choice for senior class presi
dent.
Members of Chi Psi fraternity
and Pi Beta Phi sorority refused
to cast votes for any candidates,
maintaining that was against
house policies.
After votes had been cast heads
of the various groups signed and
sealed the results into plain en
velopes, which were taken to the
Emerald office for tabulation.
Eligibility Not Considered
Eligibility of candidates was not
considered when they were placed
on the ballot. Many of those se
lected are not eligible for office
now, but in all probability they
will have made up academic de
ficiencies by the time spring cam
paigns begin.
Neither was eligibility of voters
considered. Students could make
their own choice for president of
other classes as well as their own.
Student body cards were not nec
essary.
