TONIGHT AT EIGHT
For the first tine an Ann Arbor
audience will have the pleasure of
welcoming and hearing Dr. Will Du-
rant, brilliant author of "The Story of
Philosophy" and none the less bril-
liant a lecturer, when he speaks in
Hill auditorium tonight on the Ora-
torical lecture series course. With
his latest book not long off the press,
his popular non-fiction book of last
year still much sought after, and Dr.
Durant himself very much in demand,
Ann Arbor is fortunate in having
him lecture here at this time.
Hailed as one of the greatest think-
ers of this age, Dr. Durant can be
safely looked'to as 'capable of deliver-
ig another of his sparkling philoso-
phical and penetrating discussions
of one of the things that matter in
life: Progress, which is the keynote
of his address tonight, "Is Progress A
Delusion."
QUEZON SPEAKS
The recent speech of Quezon advo-
cating immediate independence for the
Philippine islands is . interesting as
presenting one side of a question
which is far from one-s.ided. There is
not the slightest doubt but what the
Philippines are, as Quezon said, ad-
vanced to a point where independence
must be seriously considered for them,
but there are also arguments favoring
retention whi'ch can scarcely be over-
looked.
Quezo has struck the heart of the
whole question when he asks whether
the Philippines can maintain a stable
government. To grant an autonomy,
and then to find that that autonomy
was incapable of sole survival would
be an inexcusable blunder on the part
of the United States, and consequently
it is only fair to find first whether or
not conditions warrant a release of
our hold.
In the first place scarcely 40 per
cent of the people of the Philippines
can read and write, and the great
mass of the inhabitants is comprised
of persons who understand very im-
perfectly the duties that would be
theirs if their country were entirely
fra n,,t--mdin Pnnn c ofhri
ment as that which we now have with;
Cuba-the Platt amendments.
These amendments, while they are
inimical to independent action, set
very definit'e restrictions on the Cu- I
ban government as to foreign rela-
tions, obligations and trade, and in-
elude finally the all-important pro-
vision that the United States may send
troops to restore order at any time
it seems necessary. (The United States
has been forced, in fact, to send troops
on more than one occasion.)
Quezon errs when he cites this ar-
rangement with Cuba as an example
of complete independence granted by
the United States; he does not err,
possibly, when he compares his own
nation to Cuba and concludes that the
Philippines are entitled to a similar
recognition. Perhaps, the ultimate
solution to the Philippine problem at
the present times lies in precisely this
direction, and the nation, as well as
the University, owes it to the ambas-
sador from the Philippines to bend an
ear to this proposition of establishing
a relationship with the Philippines
similar to that which we now main-
tain with Cuba.
AN OPPORTUNITY
Of all the problems that will arise
before the League of Nations at its
,December meeting, nbne seems at this
time to loom so important or so vex-
ing as the Vilna dispute between Li-
thuania and Poland. Poland posse-
sesses Vilna at the present time by
armed authority, but the question isj
far from settled, and as long as Li-
thuania regards the city as her right-
ful capital there are bound to be com-
plications.
If the question is settled when it
is submitted to the League that body
will have gained a distinctly higher
place in the estimation of interna-
tional diplomacy. If the League fails,
however, or vacillates or procrasti-
nates, it stands to lose in a larme
measure whatever regard it now pos-
sesses. All in all it seems to be a
golden opportunity for the League of
Nations to lift itself to new heights
in the settlement of international dis-
putes.

VINDICATED IS
Four students were injured in an
automobile wreck last Saturday night.
And so at last diligent University
officials have succeeded in detecting
a violator of their automobile ban.
* * *
"It's too bad all the students who
drive without permits can't have
wrecks," reported Regent Otto Blather,
sponsor of the automobile ban, in
commenting on the' accident.
"Of course we can't get all the
violators," admitted Assistant-to-the-
Dean Emery without speaking, "but
the way we apprehend these students
when they brought theni in to the hos-
pital shows that we are right on the
.ob."
"We also did a wonderful piece of
work in catehinpg the two students for
violating the liqluor and auto laws in
Detroit," declared the big probation
ran from University hall, "but even
then we Wmight have missed themi if it
hliadn't been printed in all the Detroit
papers."

"I am sure this accident would not
have happened if they had not been
violating the automobile rules," re-
marked a reporter and commentator.

"THEE IiNG'S lIENCHMAN"
A Critique, by Nelson J. Smith, Jr.
Hailed by all as the first "American
opera," this work first made its ap-
pearance in New York city early in
February of the present year. The
criticisms of it were profuse if not
illuminating. One critic lamented the
presence of too-finely drawn poetry
for operatic presentation, another set
it down as a rule that the American
scene has not yet aged enough to
make it the hardy parent of good
opera.
And so it was that the audience in
Detroit greeted it Monday night. Ex-
pectation ruled in the huge temple-
many of the avid devotees of Millay
carried the farce so far as to appear
with the book edition of the opera,
that, as they said "they might fol-
ilow it."
But, forgetting now these people
who would have their programs an-
notated, the opera lived up to all of
the expectations of those people who
have learned to temper their enthus-I
iasm with an understanding of the
problems which face the composers of
opera. The libretto, rendered in a
file manner by Metropolitan stars, is
the expression of a fine spirit and
carries the story in an effective and
memorable ibanner, even though it is

APPRECIATION NEEDED
To the Editor:
Today an incident occurred that
made me dispair for the benefits de-
rived by most students from the
wholesale education in vogue inj
America at the present time. It made
me wonder why most of the students
are here and if the tremendous yearly
expenditure at this University is
justifiable. The incident referred to
is the following:
Professor Charles Horton Cooley,
one of the greatest living sociologists,
gave a lecture at 9 o'clock on Tuesday
to about 300 students. He is usually
most punctual, while many times stu-
dents, coming in five or ten minutes
late, interrupt his lectures. Today he
was unavoidably detained a few
minutes.
At seven minutes after the hour,
th'e class became restless; at eight
minutes after a student made a move
to leave, and an assistant in the de-
partment announced that Professor
Cooley would be there in a few min-
utes. At nine minutes after hour, two
students arose and left the room-
they are probably making D in the
course. This was the signal for a!
general bolt so that when Professor
Cooley arrived at 9:10, or very short-
ly after, there were not enough stu-
dents left to justify a lecture.
All of this seems to indicate a gen-
eral lack of respect (it being custom-
ary to wait at least ten minutes for
any professor) and, what is probably
worse, a lack of any sincere attempt
to profit by what the University has
to offer. Professor Cooley's lectures
are not technical and should be of
vital interest to anyone whether he is
taking sociology or not-in fact his
last lecture was the most enlightening
discussion and analysis of the causes
and results of the World war that I
have ever heard.
-"A Student."
A DISTINCTION
To the Editor:
So far as President Quezon's lecture
of Nov. 28 is concerned, his statement,
"Japan has Manchuria, Korea, For-
masa, but she can never have Philip-
pines," is entirely wrong. Although
Manchuria, a province of China, has
been and is still being influenced by
a Japanese railway and some unequalE
treaties, yet there are still Chinese pro-{
vincial and local governments and ma-
jority of Chinese population. Besides,

haust of his motorcycle rang through
the morning air, waking students
sleeping in classes, all over the Lit
building, and bringing smiles of joy
to both teachers and pupils. Just be-
fore noon he stopped on South Univer-
sity to help the youngsters from the
city schools across busy Washtenaw. I
"Just practicing for the University

toothsome smile.

All day long our own officer gam-
boled about on his sturdy motorbike,
playing tag with uneasy students driv-
ing without permits and occasionally
ordering one to report to the Dean
just to keep up the record, frightening
unwary coeds by sudden roars of the
exhaust, and in general cutting up
iike a schoolboy and having a jolly1
good time-all by himself in his own
way.* * *
KERNEL APOLOGIZES
Filled with remorse and other
thing since his Rolls contribution1
Sunday morning on the Pan Hellic
ball, Kernel has submitted, through
his spokesman Oscar, a complete1
apology for all statements made there-
in. The apology as written by Oscar
follows:
* * * .
"It has been brought to my atten-
tion that there was considerable ob-
jection among the feminine element to
the Pan Hellic columin, and though
Kernel himself has been forced to re.
main out of town since its appearance,
I ant confident I speak for him when
I say he regrets the whole affair-
even the Pan Hellic ball--in the worst
way.I
* * *
"Since the column appeared, two or
three coeds have flatly denied that
they took men to the Pan Hellic be-
cause they wanted invitations to the
J-Hop. This information was not
available to Kernel last Sunday.
"I aim confident that this will do
much in straightenimg out what was
probably an minjustice to these two or,
three coeds."

bilities of the piece and gave to it the
fire of true art, and the likeness ofj
real drama.
With such composers and such
companies, we shall soon have an
American opera. Which will appear
as no rash prediction if you have seen
this success.
"THE SILVER CORD"
The Oedipus complex is the prob-
lem which Sidney Howard treats in
"The Silver Cord" which the Theater
Guild Repertory company of New York
will give for their fourth engagement
at the Whitney, Thursday night of this
week.
The play shows a mother who has
been robbed in early life of her fair
share of romance by the death of her
husband. Her natural tendency is to
lbuild her love life around her two
sons who, as a consequence of her
denomination, remain subconscious
slaves to her. In spite of her efforts
to hold them, the boys leave her, one
to marry and the other to be engaged,
and the author has followed them
with a revelation of their desire to find
in their wives the image of their
mother. Mr. Howard's treatment is a
brave, careful inquisition into the
problem. He does not gloss over sit-
uations, and his logic is inescapable.
Molly Pearson will play the role of
the mother, Mrs. Phelps. George Gaul
and Frederick March will play David
and Robert respectively.

THEATER GUILD PLANS
"Marco Millions," Eugene O'Neill's
satire of Babbitry and historical my-
thology, is planned as the next pro-
duction by the New York company of
the Theater Guild. Alfred Lunt, as
the Guild's leading man, will probably
carry the part of Marco-a difficult
but very rich role. No part, however,
has been fend for the brilliant Lynne
Fontanne-which suggests that "The
Game of Love and Death" will be pro-
duced shortly after the O'Neill play so
that she may have a suitable vehicle
for her marvelous talents. January
9 is set as the approximate date for
the opening of "Marco Millions."
