Sino-Japanese Conflict
Story Told by Speaker
Bryant, Ex-Navy Officer
Tracing the problems and conflicts of the Chinese and Japanese
for the past 40 years, Stewart F. Bryant, author and lecturer on inter
national affairs, told of the reasons that have brought on the present
Sino-Japanese war and placed the orient in the precarious position it
finds itself today, at an assembly held in Gerlinger hall yesterday
moniing at 11.
Population and economic difficulties forced the Japanese into the
taking of Manchuria in 1895, but when Russia and other countries
demanded their evacuation it was
with an avowal to return, Mr.
Stewart said. He pointed to the
proposal to the League of Nations
by Japan in 1918, asking that all
nations be treated equally. But
they were refused. Such rebuffs
and problems have led to hostile
tactics on the part of the Japanese,
who need outlets for people, goods,
and troops, he said.
Japan Handicapped
Japan wants to be on a par with
Russia, Great Britain, and the
United States, but her lack of raw
materials, land, and overabundance
of people are against her, Mr. Bry
ant stated. Japan he called a
“have not” nation, whose moves
for expansion “are guarded
against by “assertive nations”
who do not expand so openly.
The speaker discussed the meas
ures of help given by Russia to
the Chinese. The recent statement j
of Maurice Hindus that the “Soviet
Union has had its last great fam
ine” may bring hope to the Chi
nese that they can build up their
nation without the famine, bandit
, ry, and suffering that has been
widespread' there in the past, the
retired navy man stated. Should
the Japanese be driven out of
China, no ultimate problems will
be solved, he said'.
War Would Be Brutal
Civilization would be brutalized
and so beaten by another world
war that a long decline would re
sult, for war creates twice as
many problems as peace, Mr.
Stewart said. Armaments are five
to eight times as great as they
, were during the World war, he
stated, but each conflict takes
more than a “natural” period of
recovery after it ceases.
Peace Harder to Attain
He warned against “invisible
economic expansion” of the great
nations of the world, and said that
it is because of this that large pro
tective forces, especially navies,
are necessary. To these problems
America is more immune than
other nations, and perhaps the
least to blame, he averred, but she

over the United States. Her photographs are famous.
They’re different! Miss Bourke-White made that
same remark about Camels to Ralph Martin at the
New York World’s Fair grounds {right).
"Cigarettes seem
pretty much alike
to me. Do you find
some difference be- |
tween Camels and |
the others, Miss |
Bourke-White?” |
I’ve found that Camels are very,
very different, Mr. Martin —
not just in one way, but in
a lot of ways. For example, my
nerves must be just as trust
worthy as a steeple jack’s.
Camels don't jangle my nerves.
They taste extra-mild and deli
cate too. Camels never leave
an unpleasant after-taste, and
they’re so gentle to the throat.
In fact, Camels agree with me
in every way! I think that’s
what counts most—how7 your
cigarette agrees with you!”
Camels are a matchless

TELLS ANOTHER
Leading growers
tell their preference
in cigarettes—
it’s Camel!
aWe smoke Camels
because we know tobacco,n
tobacco planters say
“I’m g tobacco planter,”
says Vertner Hatton, who
has grown tobacco for 25
years. “The Camel folks
pay a sight more for our
- better tobaccos. Last crop
m they took my finest grades.
I smoke Camels—I know there’s no sub
stitute for expensive tobaccos. Most
planters favor Camels.”
“I’ve been planting to
bacco for twenty years,”
says Harry C. King.
“The Camel people
bought the choice lots
of my last crop — paid
more for my best tobacco.
bo L know they use finer, more expensive
tobaccos in Camels. That’s one mighty
good reason why my cigarette is Camel.”
