DRAMA t
TONIGHT: "Juan de lias Vias" by
Don Juan Hartzenbush in Sarah tas-

" ITHE 1"AhI-AWAY PRINCESS"
A subtle play by Suderman, a pret-
ty one by Oliphant Down, and one of
simple country life by Mrs. Havelock
Ellis, will comrise the first program
of the Play Production classes for
this semester. Each has a merit in
its way, and each manner is distinct
from that of the other two.
The titles, to be exact are "The
Far-Away Princess," "The Maker of
Dreams," and "The Subjection of
Kezia." All of them involve a pretty
moral, not too obvious, and not overly
much like a sermon. Aesop would
have said, two thousand years ago,
that Kezia was a clever person, after
all, and it is useless to try to rule a
woman. Aesop might also have said,
though it probably would never have
occurred to him, that a far-away prin-
cess is the most perfect princess of
all; but he left it for Suderman to ex-
pound the creed.
As for the maker of dreams, the
thought is familiar enough. Christians
for centuries have preached the doe-
trine that the best of everything is
found at home; that all things come
to he who waits; that adventures are
constantly about, though the keenest
witted often fail to see them.

LET'S BE FRIENDS
Ever since Japan rose to the status
of a leading power in the world, there
have been rumors of international
misunderstanding and prophecies of
war between her and the .United
States., Disguised under the deadly
phrase of "the Yellow Peril," all sorts
of propaganda and bogeyism has been
spread throughout both nations until
the great masses of common people in
both lands have come almost to be-
lieve that war between Japan and the
United States is inevitable.
Gradually, however, along with the
increasing education of the Japanese
leaders as well as their people, these
vague apprehensons have been grow-
ing more and more absurd. At no time
have the two -governments been more
disposed toward mutual friendship
and international cooperation than at
the present. The latest indication of!
this feeling of amity is the hope that
through friendly conversations be-
tween Tsuneo Matsuraira, the new
Japanese ambassador who is to arrive
in Washington today, and President
Coolidge, some effective means of put-
ting a final blanket on incendiary
propaganda in-both countries may be
brought about.
At least three matters of tremen-
dous importance, namely: the new Rus-
so-Japanese, treaties, the Japanese
land ownership bill discriminating
against Californians, and the proposed1
second Washington arms conference,
have arisen in the absence of a Jap-
anese ambassador and will probably
come up for discussion.
In the matter of the Russian treaty!
the United States will undoubtedly,
want to know if the pact involves any
military understanding with the So-
viet government while Japan is inter-
ested to know if the American govern-
ment is to recognize the Soviets. Quite
obviously, the Japanese are complete- I
lt justified in treating Californians as
they have treated the islanders in re-
gard to the holding of land by aliens.
In fact, it would be preposterous to
expect any more lenient treatment at
their hands. The Japanese govern-
ment has already erpressed itself as
favorin- a second arms conference
providing it be allowed to help deter-I
mine the agenda, another very reason-
able request.
Perhaps no better example of thel
Japanese willingness to cooperate1
with the United States could be cited
than her action in the recent interna-
tional opium conference. She came to;
that gathering with a well-defined
program for the eventual abolishment
of opium-sinoking based on her own
successful experiments in the island'
of Formosa where, during the pastI

The story of "The Goose Hangs
High" concerns the average college 1
younger generation-filled with intol-
erance, unthinking impertinence and
golden fizzes. It is a light comedy
that constantly verges to serious
climaxes, and most importantly, un-
like the usual successful play its third
act is the height of the tensity. Tech-
nically alone, the piece is masterful
and unusually adroit.
