JAPAN, U. S., AND THE PROTOCOL
The refusal of Japan to sign the
League of Nations protocol providing
for trbitrati r by the Ite national
court at The iihgue ofdiues ri ngl
between nations appears to have end-
ed temporarily at least hopes for
world agree nentC on 't is imprtailht
question. Added to this,' the fact that
the United States, not being a mem-
ber of the League, ha not been ;a
party t the agrement would seem
to foredain its failure. With these
two world powers refusing to co-
operate, no pli for arbitation gould
hope to be sucessfui, even so well-
founded a scheme as the one consid-
ered by the Lea'gue.
The arbitration agreement was to
be part of the general disarmament
plan whichsis being fostered by Pre-
mier Ramsay McDonald of, England
and Premier Edouard Herriot of
France and proposed that decisions at
The Hauge should be final upon
questions of international law. France
1ts wished that arbitration be purely
arbitrary and the pact has been
drawn along that general line. It has
been proposed, however, in the course
of the conference that the definition
of an agressor should be a nation
which will not arbitrate or accept ran
arbitral decision.-
In the statement made to the
League, Japan insisted upon the crea-
tion of concilation jurisdiction which
would permit of a review of the case
in case the losing party appealed to
the international court. This provision
was opposed by Australia in the pre-
liminary discussion and hence was
not made a part of the protocol sub-
mitted for approval.
Various reasons have been advanced
for Japan's action, the most commonly
accepted being the fact that inter-
vention by this nation in China's revo-
lution may be deemed necessary in the
near future. Japan is evidently not
certain what the consequences would
be if she were bound by the decision
of the world court in this matter and
in several other important controver,
sies confronting her at the present
moment. It is understood that the test
case will be an hypothetical appeal
to -the court to determine the legality
of the United States ifimigration law.
In case the court upheld the law as
of lurely domestic concern, under
the provisions of the plan Japan could
not ;appeal and if she ever resorted"
to war she would automatically be
considered the agressor. These are]
ser-ious. -questions. for. -the Nipponese,
nation, touching the very foundation
of her relations with the outside
world, and it is not to be wondered
that there is hesitation on her part to
It is hardly to be expected,. o
course, that United States would
approve the plan for arbitration. The
predominating feeling in this country
seems to be opposed to iactive co-
operation with anything actuated by
the League. The very name of the
organization carries with it a taint o
party prejudice and controversy. But
why should this be so? Few people
would deny that the plan is a good
one and would ultimately work to-
ward the establishment of world peace,'
and It is the opinion of officials th't
the whole scheme would be endanger-'
ed by the failure of the United States
to cooperate in the matter of refus-
ing to sel supplies and to lend monley
to a nation judged by the Leagueto'
be an aggressor.; Just because the p an
is proposed by the League is no a
son for ourignoring it. The gove i-
ment should take steps which i1.
lead to our passive approval and ulti-
mate accord with the project.
Japan has turned down the pact;
the United States will probably take
no faction. Bpth nations should realize
their responsibility in the matter of
promotion of world security and con-
sider seriously the protocol of the
League of Nations which has the ap-
proval of the majority of the world
and minor powers.
STUDENT SKIDDERS
The year's first serious automobile
accident occasioned by reckless driv-
ing on the part of a student has o-
curred, and it is not yet definitely
certain whether, or not the woman
who was injured will recover. Two
things, it is charged, were responsible
for the accident-violation of the
speed laws on the part of the student,
and a car unequtpped with brakes.
Some students have a way of con-
sidering themselves above all restric-
tions and, in vehicles which sho ld
have been relegated to the junk heaps
along with the 'one-horse shay,'' they
tear around the Ann Arbor streets
unmindful of common safety. Anyone
of a number of those who operate
their automobiles in this manner
might well have been responsible for
last Thursday's catastrophe. That
similar accidents have not already oc-
curred is due to good fortune and
happenstance.
Now that a serious accident has
occurred something will be done to
stop reckless driving. Steps have al-
ready been taken in this direction by
a combination of Ann Arbor organiza-
tions. Students may as well fall in
line with the movement now as well
fs later, before their speed carries
,them, to far.
I r CAMPUS . OPINION.
VARIETY LOSES IT SPICE
'The student bodyof. the :Universit
does, as a rule, laud to its friends
and relatives upon every occasion,
te'beauty and magnitude of the Uni-
versity buildings. It' is very common,'
on days of big games and other fete
days, to see the student walking about,
showing his Mother, Sister, or Sweet-
heart the Union, Hill auditorium., the
Science, building and all the other
great structures thatgrace our cam-
pus. This year there will be the new
Literary building and the Lawyers'
Club to feast the eyes of our annual
sightseers. These buildings add two
'more to the already pleasing of ar-
chitectural achievements of the Uni-
versity. That the variety' gives to our
University life a spice of the most
pleasing type, no one will deny.
However, upon one of the busiest
corners of our "University City," there
is in process of construction at the
present time a building (it debauches
'the name) of the worst possible type.
Is it some strange trick of fate that
places a two million dollar symphony
in stone on one corner of our campus
and ia cheap, cement block, "ham-
burger joint" on the other? Is the stu-
dent body of our school going to allow
this mismatching or architectural
treasures and structural atrocties? Is
'it not time for the student body to
rise up and declaim the inroads of com-
mercialism upon our campus-the
place that should be an inspiration
for great scholastic achievement by
its structural beauty? We, as students,
are not able to build all the beautiful
buildings that we might likt to but
we can make manifest our feeline
against the building of ugly, public
eyesores.
A building permit was issued by the
City of Ann Arbor for the construc-
tion of this insult to the public eye.
At the city limits, every thoroughfare
is posted with a sign which states to
'the wide, wide world that Ann Arbor;
is the place where Commerce and,
Education meet. They do. But 'how
'they meet.

TiHE MATINEE MUSICALE
The Matinee Musicale is to open its
season Wednesday, October 8, when
Mr. Reber Johnson, the assistant con-
cert-master .of the New York Sym-
phquy Orchestra, and Mr. and Mrs.
'Guy Maier will give a violin and piano
recital in the Michigan Union ball-
room at 3:30 o'clock.
Mr. Reber was at one time a stu-
dent in the, School of Music inder
Henri Ern, while Mr. Maier, now the
acting head of the piano department
during the absence of Mr. 'Lockwood,
is well known for his two-piano re-
citals with Lee Pattison. Mrs. Maier
is also a player of ability, and is a
former teacher at the David Mannes
School in New York city.
The program which will be an-
hounced shortly, will include the
Kreutzer.sonatia and a Brahm's group.
In accordance with the general
tcheme recommended by the National
Pederation 'of Music Clubs and adopt-
ed by many of the state clubs, the
Matinee Musicale has adopted a study
course for its program ' this year. The
course will be illustrated by the usual
number of programs offered to all
its members, while there will be in
addition a number of meetings , for
the active members alone.
The Matinee Musicale year book
I for 1924-25 is now off the press, and
will be mailed to the members in a
few days.

ADVISE TO FRESHMEN
You have come here, along with the
rest of us, to gain a certain polishect
Varnish in terms of a general talking
knowledge of poised affairs. This in-
cludes many things, admitted and
otherwise, but among these there are
a few outstanding advantages. Athle-
ties, it is assumed, is one; fellowship,
the boosters claim, is another; there
are some dozen of the more brilliant
professors that make their classes in-
teresting; and there is also-admit it
or not--there is also music.
Every year the School of Music or-
ganizes two concert courses, which
in 'their- thirty odd years have in-
cluded every artist of reputable cali-
be'. The first, the Choral Union series,'
is always subscribed to year after
year 'by the majority of the faculty
and many of the townspeople. The
question for te average student is
not whether he should avail himsel:
of such an opportunity, but 'whether
by any stroke of good luck he can
buy, beg, borrw, or steal a ticket.
The extra C ncert series, however,
is -much newer, and is not so over-
whelimingly patronized. The course this
year includes Sousa's Band and the
Kibalchich Russian Choir as two of
the numbers-both interesting attrac-
tions, which ybu can regard as you
choose-but the important feature of
the series is the three appearances of
the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The
course resolves itself, fundamentally,
into a symphony season.
It would seem unnecessary to ex
plain that the Detroit Symphony un-
der the direction of Ossip Gabril-
owitsch has become one of the great-
est orchestras in the country-cer-
tainly Mr. Gabrilowitsch is quite un-
eqtalled--but somehow a complete
local appreciation is strangely absent.
Perhaps it is the old story of a pro-
phet in his own land.

. NEWS ITEM:
New York, Sept. 25.-Fedeml action
against the Broadway success "What
Price Glory' as a violation of the
national defense act was talked of by
the U. S. district attorney's office to-
night. .
According to members of the Fed-
eral attorney's staff the general (Bull-
ard) and the admiral (Plunkett) com-
plained that the drama with its pro-'
fanity-besprinkletl portrayal of life
with the Marines abroad during the
world war "curtailed enlistments and
in that way violated the national de-
fense act."
It would certainly never do to have
it get about that the Marines were
accustomed to curse in the trenches..
Mr. Jason Cowles.?
We wonder how many visitors who
see the workmen eating their dinners
is the unfinisiedi lobby of the new
'literary building -'get the impression
that some of the University students'
'from the cduntry are bringing their
lunches..

his cars to the Unix roity museum of

case with the gift, the machine could
be preserved for posterity.

However, Mr. Gabrilowitsch's tri-
umphs in Europe this summer should
add another striking proof of his un-
disputed ability. Following the last
concerts given in Detroit last April
he went immediately to the Pacific
coast where he gave ten piano recitals
with great sucess. Returning to De-
troit the latter part of May, he was
informed that the King of Roumania
had bestowed on him a decoration
making him an Officer of the Crown.
In June Yale University gave him
the Honorary' Degree of Master of
Arts-and by the way, isn't it strange
that the University of Michigan has
never thought of that?
Late in June he sailed for Europe
with his family, where he was shortly
invited to conduct two concerts of
the Berlin -Philharmonic Orchestra,
and this was followed by an urgent in-
vitation from William Mengleberg to
conduct a concert of the famous Con-
cergebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam
and to appear as solist at another.
He played his first concert in Ber-
lin on September 10 and according
to private advices received in Detroit
his conducting caused a vieritable
sensation, the press pronouncing him
as one of the few very great con-
ductors of the world.
On Sunday night, September 21, he
made his debut a sa conductor in
Amsterdam, and a cable from Mr.
Mengleberg's secretary reported that
you want it.
