" 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.

K. SPARROW, JR. 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 I ,,rnt,+,rfn,,. si,,rq f lipn ,s.,nsI n t.. nd- . t "J.
