S. in Treaty Making N a- REDICTS EVENTUAL. CONFLICT WITH JAPAN IN PACIFIC OCEAN "Whatever attitude we take with espect to our relations with foreign ountries, let us first prepare against mergencies" said ex-Senator James familton Lewis in his address before he followers of the Oratorical asso- lation's lecture course in Hill audi- rium last night. The former floor-leader of the sen- te began his address by calling to he attention of his audience the sim- licity of the foreign problems with hich we were faced in the early ears of our history. He showed how me added to-the complexity of the ituations which we were called upon o face. Science Changed Relations "Cables were laid, steamships came nto use, and we were knitted with he world," said the senator. "The eniuses of our land were pitted gainst the best intellects of the earth. hen came the Monroe Doctrine, in which the United States was working n the interests of the United States. We had gone beyond the mere set- lement of border problems, and we iecame entangled in problems involv- ng large and powerful nations." Senator Lewis then undertook to how the conditions of this country n regard to our foreign relations at he close of the Great war. He howed wherein England, France, taly, and in fact all Europe had pro- eeded with the forming of alliances without regard to the desires or opin- ons of the United States. He quot- d a Belgian statesman as express- ng the feeling prevalent among the European countries when he said, "Belgium as well as the rest of the Ailies are getting tired of hearing the name -of the United States of Amer- Fears Japanese Menace He then told of the disregard in which this country is held by the countries of the Orient. "Japan's eople only behold that we hold up her people as being unworthy of be- oming citizens of the United States," he continued. "Japan is a rising and owerful nation. Neither she nor China will endure this humiliation in- definitely. I now bring you a solemn inquiry. How will Japan proceed? First she will enlist the aid of China. Then she will turn to bur European friends who are holding us in disre- gard at the present and say, 'In the hour of our travail, I helped you. Now I demand of you that you ask of the United States that my people have the same rights in that country that your people do. Do you think that they will refuse? They do not dare for they know that if they do, Japan will drive them from their possessions in the East. I feel that it is inevi- table that the United States will be called upon to decide whether she is to remain the dominant nation of the world and that the contest will be waged in the Pacific. Definite Policy Needed "If we are to maintain our place of honor, we must early disclaim the portions of the treaty of Versailles which declare us as hypocrites be- fore the world, and we must decide upon one of three policies-to ente upon an association of nations em- bracing the world, to enter into an association of nations embracing th western hemisphere, or to take ou stand as a separate nation maintain ed by force of arms.- Whatever w do, let us prepare first and then pur sue our policy to the end."

Cessation of all transportation coupled with a severe winter adds to the appalling situation, it was stated by M. Ahronion, president of the Ar- menian delegation to the peace con- ference.

SIGMA DELTA CHI TAKES IN 1 UNEWJOURNILISTS LEE WIIITE, NATIONAL PRESI- DENT PLEADS FOR IDEALS AT BANQUET Sigma Delta Chi, national profes- sional journalistic fraternity, initiated Friday afternoon at the Union, taking in 10 men.

BEHIND PLAN TO SPREAD INFORMATION ON FOREIGN CONDITIONS Inaugurating a plan to give infor- mation concering the moral, relig- ious, and social conditions among the people of all countries, a "World Service Forum" will be started at Michigan with a meeting at 7 o'clock Wednesday night in Hill auditorium. The Forum, which is backed by the Students Christian association, will meet monthly and prominent men will speak on such topics as industrial or political situations, living conditions and general social or religious condi- tions in different countries. The plan has been tried in the last few years with much success at the University of Chicago, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Not Religious in Tone "The meetings are not specifically to give religious propaganda or mis- sionary work in any narrow sense of the word," said T. S. Evans of the S. C. A. "There will be no praying e or singing. The speaker will talk r only 20 or 30 minutes, after which he will answer questions from the audi- ence. Such forums at other universi- e ties proved very popular among the r faculty, graduates, and under-gradu- ates who are studying international e problems." - All arrangements for the meetings will be made by the world service committee of the S. C. A., of which Roswell Dillon, '21E, is chairman, and Howard Chapman of the S. C. A., is g secretary. Dr. McCracken First Speaker - Dr. Joseph C. McCracken, dean of It the medical school at St. Johns uni- k versity at Shanghai, China, wil: y speak on "Present Conditions in Y, China" at the first meeting Wednesday -- night in Hill auditorium.

FUNCTION DISCONTINUED INITELY; NO SUBSTITI THIS YEAR STRAUSS CHARGES MISCONDUCT IN STATEMENT, ON BANNING OF 1-HI BY STUDENT AFFAIRS COMMIl STATES UPON RULES AGRE! IN 1914 VIOLA' " Chinese Present Dramatized Poem, Chinese students will present a dramatization of the Tang poem, a representative of the most brillianti period of Chinese literature, that of the Tang dynasty, coming during the1 seventh century A.D., at a reception tonight to be given President Marion, L. Burton and Mrs. Burton at their residence. The play is a reproduction of a sum- iliar act presented by the Cosmopolitan club in the "Magic Carpet" five years ago in Hill auditorium. The Magic Carpet" was written by J. Raleigh Nelson, of the engineering college, and consisted of acts representing differ- ent nations, or rather the national creed of that country. The Tang act showed the respect of child for parent and the abhorence of war, both char- acteristics being especially predom- inant among the Chinese..,¢ The story told is about Maung Lan, the Chinese Joan of Arc. The scene is at the time of the Mongolian invasion. Every household was supposed to give one man to the army. Maung's father was going blind and rather than have him serve, she decided to go in his place. So donning his armor, Maung took his place in the army and served throughout the invasion. She became one of the greatest generals the em- pire had ever known., The story has lived to the present day in China as exemplification of Chinese ideals.
