"Secret Agent of Japan." by Amloto Veata, and, "In- . aide Aala," by John Cunthcr, were two books from which Mra. Cieary gleaned much of the material for her talk: also, aha summarUed the highlights given In the talk on the "United Statea and Japun" by Dr. U. U. Duback before the Itotary club recently. Dr. Dubnck Is the dean of men nd head of tho polltlcul sci ence department at Oregon State college. He has made study of the Orient and has taken several trips over there. Dr. Duback'f father was a German, his mother a native of Switzerland be was born a few months after they Im migrated to America. Like so many others who come to our shores he has a great faith In and a desire to serve democ racy. Dr. Duback stated that while Japan's given reason for her Invasion of China Is a need for more territory for her rapidly Increasing mil lions, and to acquire neces sary natural resources, he feels the true reason Is a dif ference of conflicting philoso phies of the two nations. Ho stated that we can not over-emphasize the idealism Implanted In China by mls- sionarles and aocinl workers, ) nor the effect of Christianity upon General Chiang Kai shek. Japan's philosophy la vostly different from this. When asked If he thought the United States should go to war with Japan because of our Interests In China, he an swered "no," nor should we because of our trado with China; only, if It was a case of defending our freedom of the sens, or If it was our way of life os against theirs.
