EDITORS NOTE: This article, writ- ten especially for The Daily by Dr. Stanton, will be followed with others by faculty authorities. They too will deal with interesting European, Euro- Asiatic, and Euro-American problems. By JOHN W. STANTON (Of the History Department) In 1904 Japan and Russia engaged in a war over the question of Man- churia and Korea. As Russia was defeated in that war the issue was decided in favor of Japan who at once began to consolidate her gains on the continent of Asia. In a short time southern Manchuria became a Japanese sphere of influence while Korea was definitely annexed by Japan. Russia, however, kept a foot- hold in northern Manchuria through her ownership of the Russia built Chinese Eastern Railway. The recent Japanese action in erecting the pup- pet state of Manchukuo has had im- portant repercussions on Russia's po- sition in northern Manchuria and to a certain extent on all Russian possessions in the Pacific area. Beforethe establishment of the state of Manchukuo the land fron- tier between Russia and the Japanese Empire was relatively insignificant. With Manchukuo under their wings the Japanese today have a frontier in common with Russia that is not only enormous in extent but from a strategic standpoint renders the Russian maritime province with its important naval base of Vladivostok is virtually untenable. It begins to look as though the time is at hand for a Russian retreat from the Far East. Obviously, such a decision lies mainly in the hands of the Soviet Union. Most students of Far East- ern problems feel confident that ra- ther than retreat, Russia, if pressed too far by Japan, will fight a second war with Japan. For proof of their contentions, these observers of the Far Eastern situation point to the heavy concentration of R u s si a n forces east of Lake Baikal. It is no secret either in Moscow or Tokyo that Russia has concentrated over 100,000 men in the Amur and mari- time provinces of her far Eastern empire, or, in other words, four times as many troops as Japan has in Man- chukuo. Moreover, Russia has like- wise made efforts to create a food base for the support ofher large Far Eastern armies by creating a (Continued on Page 6) __________________________________-__- Places on May Where Be Signed he repeal petitions have been ;ed at the following places: ege Inn, Parrot restaurant, ern, Bright Spot, the R. and Swift's Drug Store, Wild and the Betsy Ross, the New Gra- a Cafe, and The Daily.

BAIRD After leading three-quarters of the way, Michigan's cagers succumbed to a volley of Wisconsin long shots, and dropped a close game, 32 to 26, in the Field House last nigh i;. Heart-breaking as the defeat was, Wolverine fans saw a rejuvenated Cappon outfit battle the Badgers every minute of the game. It was the same inspired Wisconsin team that defeated a championship-con- tending Illinois five Saturday night. A new star appeared in the Wol- verine line up. "Blondie" Joslin, lanky sophomore center whose style of play much resembles that of Ed Garner, had the badgers completely baffled and was high-point man with five field goals and a free throw. With 15 points in the Ohio victory this advanced his two-game total to 26. FERA Project Positions Will Be Announced Assignment Of Students' Jobs With Relief Group To Be Made Tomorrow Student workers on the first of the projects provided under the terms of the Federal Emergency Relief Ad- ministration's s p e c i a l measure to benefit college students will be as- signed tomorrow, it was announced last night. Applications for the work are still being received in the ofie of Dean Joseph A. Bursley and yesterday s sere were over 400 students' namves on file., Those signing for jobs must wear before a notary that, itout the aid they would receive through this work, they will be unable to re- main as students in the University. Under a special rule of the FERA, not more than 75 per cent of the total number of jobs to be allotted at one institution may be granted to students registered in some college in Jan., 1934. This is to insure that thiers, who are not in school at pres- ent but would be if financially able, vill also have a chance to work. Requisitions for workers are be- ng received by Prof. Lewis M. Gram, lirector of plant extension, who has general charge of alloting the proj- ects. Captain Knio'ht Atin.n Will Give Talk i e r e Tono'ht Capt. C. W. R. Knight, world au- thority on bird life, will bring his rained golden eagle, "Mr. Ram- ,haw," and his motion picture en- ertainment to Hill Auditorium to- night as the fifth number on the 1933-34 lecture series of the Oratori- ,al Association. The performance will begin at 8 p. m. "Monarchs of the Air," Captain Knight's motion picture and lecture program, is considered by many au- ,horities one of the most unusual on the lecture platform today, and its appearance here is largely due to the re coimmend at ion of Lowell Thomas, who spoke highly of itwhen he was in Ann Arbor last year. 'Hearts Of Flame' Will Knock 'Em In The Aisles "Hearts of Flame," a melodrama of the old silent film type, will be shown at 8 p. m. Thursday night in Natural Science Auditorium under the auspices of the Forestry Club. The story of the film is based on the novel "Timber" written by Harold Titus, '08, a member of the State Conservation Commission. Mr. Ti- tus was once a member of The Daily staff. He was awarded an honorary M.A. degree here in 1932 for his work in conservation. GARGOYLE TRYOUTS TO MEET Undergraduate Council Calls For Freshmen Sophomores And Juniors Also To Vie For Senior PositionsWith Group All freshmen, sophomores, and juniors interested in trying out for positions- on the Undergraduate Council are requested to report at 4:30 p. m. tomorrow in Room 306 of the Union, Gilbert E. Bursley, Coun- cil president, announced last night, Freshmen and sophomores inter- ested are particularly requested to report, because, Bursley said, the Council plans to operate under a tryout systemnext year. At that time the Council will be composed of sen- iors, with juniors and sophomores working under them as tryouts for the senior positions. "We would especially like to meet those students," Bursley said, "who have had some experience in student government in their high schools, and who are interested in this type of work. Any freshmen and sophomores who have ideas concerning an in- crease of the functions of the Coun- cil should be present at the meet- ing." The purpose of the new plan, which recently received the unanimous ap- proval of the Council, is to give the Council a continuity it now lacks, Members of the organization feel, also, that the Council has to depend upon.other organizations too much in carrying out activities. With the ad- dition of junior and sophomore as- sistants, the Council will be able to act independently of other campus organizations, Council members be- lieve. The juniors and sophomores will have no definite position on the Council. These positions - except for the presidents of Triangles and Sphinx, junior honorary societies in the engineering and literary colleges - will be reserved, as they were this year, for seniors. New Deal Is Deplod edi L,0I'4D. Talk. J. B. Matiiews Attacks Industrial, Agriculture Sabotage System Socialist Leader Is Final Lecturer Currency nflation Policy Denounced By Speaker In Industrial Series By PAUL 3. ELLIOTT The New Deal, in its industrial and agricultural aspects, involves a gen- eral system of "sabotage whereas So- cialism plans to use the productive machinery and the national resources of the nation 'so that millions will not starve in the midst of plenty," J. B. Matthews, Socialist leader, said last night in the concluding League for Industrial Democracy 1 e ct u r e sponsored by the Vanguard Club. In his comparison of these two systems of planning, Matthews de- fined sabotage as "a conscious with- drawal of energy from production, and claiming this was exactly the procedure followed in restricting pro- duction of cotton and wheat under the AAA. . He cited as te basis of the pres- ent capitalistic ,policy the govern- mental determiation to lower the price level so the debt structure, "ov- erwhelming in its ramifications," may be held up. Currency inflatin was denounced by Matthews as a measure to pro- tect the capitalistic leaders, and not a means to reduce the burden of the debtor class. "Socialists," he said, "should do all in their power to forward the dis- integration of the present system. And when the day comes when a majority are dissatisfied with that system, Socialists roust be prepared to prove by ;arms t justice of their contention," he conitinued. Mr. Matthews paid tribute to the Austrian Socialists for unfaltering belief in Socialist principles, but said that their plight showed the weak- ness in preparation. "Absolute direction of the govern- ment, not parliamentary representa- tion, must be our aim," he said. "We can no longer be content with a meager share of power; we must pre- pare for the time when we will take that power by force of arms if need be." "Waiting will cost more than ac- tion," Mr. Matthews said. "If we are to take advantage of the oppor- tunity when it comes, we must, and will, prepare for sacrifices. The cap- italistic class is basically wrong in its theories, but it will never lose control of its power until workers prove by force that those theories are wrong." Dr. Dorr To Speak At Adelphi Meeting By WILLIAM G. FERRIS A general survey of the manner in which leading colleges and univer- sities in the East and Middle West have met the problem caused by the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment indicates that only two universities besides Michigan are subject to re- strictions on the sale of beer within the campus area. These two are the University of Minnesota and Northwestern Univer- sity. In New Haven there is a re- striction prohibiting, the sale of beer within 200 feet of the Yale campus, but this distance is so short that it has, of course, no practical effect. Four of the nine universities ques- tioned in the East permit the sale of beer in university owned and op- erated dining halls. These older, endowed universities are much more liberal in their treatment of beer drinking than the public universities ii the Middle West, in not one of which is the sale of beer and other alcoholic drinks permitted on Uni- versity-owned property. The most prohibitive of all regu- lations concerning the sale of beer is that in the charter of Northwestern University. It forbids the sale of al- coholic beverages within four miles of the university campus. At Min- nesota the state has a statute which prohibits such sale within a mile of the University campus, except on the southwest side "where the Mississip- pi river imposes an even more ef- fective obstruction than does the state of Minnesota on the o t h e r Spring Parley Plans Rapidly Nearing Finish Symphony Will Present Choral Series Concert Gabrilowitsch Will Direct Detroit Orchestra In The Ninth Performance Survey Shows Only Two Other Universities Ban Campus Beer sides." These two universities stand alone with Michigan in their ultra- dryness. The University of Chicago is ap- parently the most liberal of the mid- dle western colleges, for it has been said, through the college authorities, that beer will be served in the Com- mons if it can be shown that there is sufficient demand for it. Inas- much as there is no restriction upon such sale in the restaurants adja- cent to the campus, and Chicago students may drink beer in these places, there has not been any par- ticular demand for its sale in the Commons. E a s t e r n colleges permitting the sale of beer in university-operated dining rooms are Harvard, oldest of American colleges, Columbia, Dart- mouth, and Amherst. At Cornell the Board of Managers of Willard Straight Hall, the student union, has voted in favor of serving beer and the Board of Governors has accepted this recommendation. It is expected that the trustees of the university will accept the proposal. Yale, Brown, Pennsylvania, and Princeton do not allow the sale of beer in their own buildings, but there are no 1 a w s against such sale in immediately ad- joining restaurants, or in privately >wned dining rooms actually oper- ating on the campus proper. These were the nine eastern colleges quer- led on the matter. The following is a complete tabu- lation of how the colleges concerned (Continued on Page 6) City Blue Law Sale Of Beer Passes Council Dances, Shows Ar an To Regulate 'What Can We Believe' To Be General Topic Conclave In March Is At Establishments Which Sell Beer Must Close At Mid- night Hereafter Mayer Leads Move To Get Later Hours Bill To Become Effective 10 Days After Approval By Mayor Campbell Ann Arbor's Blue Law No. 1 re- ceived the official sanction of the Common Council at a regular meet- ing last night when 11 councilmen voted "yes" to pass the liquor ordi- nance governing the control of liquor in the city. A necessarily feeble, but deter- mined, fight on the part of Alder- man Donald J. Mayer to permit dancing and later hours for the sale of beer failed to make any impression on the dry members of the council. The bill slid through without debate or argument on the side of the drys, The curfew will ring at midnight every night for all establishments selling beer, wine, or spirits under the new blue law. Also dancing, gam- bling, and floor shows passed under the council's conservative guillotine, as did liquor-by-the-glass. None of these "diversions" will be permitted in the future. Long a defender of the more liberal moves, Alderman Mayer asked for an extension of the closing hour to 2 a. m., and that floor shows and dancing be allowed. He pointed out that throughout the state the law per- mitted establishments to be open until that hour. He said that a good deal of the business comes in be- tween those hours. No dry presented any argument against ayers state- ment. aIn an ttempt to hold the bill of for a few weeks, Alderm an Frank W Staffan moved that the document be sent to Lansing for the legal advice and opinion of Attorney-General Patrick O'Brien. The bill was passed without emo- tion. Musical entertainment, by means of an orchestra, however, will be al- lowed under the new ordinance. Every restaurant where liquor is sold must be on the ground level and must be in full view of the street. 1 This clause also eliminates booths, shades, screens and any substance which may be "allowed to accumulate on or be placed on either the inside or outside of the windows." No liquor may be sold in any building which is within 500 feet of any church or school buildings, ac- cording to the new act. All customers must be seated before they can be served. Beer and light wines will be sold to persons over 18 years of age, while "spiritous" beverages will be served only to persons over 21 years of age. Champions of a more liberal ordi-- nance throughout the three readings of the bill, in addition to Alderman Mayer, were Aldermen Staffan and Nelson Hoppe. The bill will now go to Mayor Rob- ert A. Campbell for approval and sig- nature. It will then be published taking effect 10 days after publica- tion. It is expected that the bill wil: be speeded through the offices 'o the mayor in an attempt to put i into effect at the soonest possibl date.

Wed-, .nesday, Feb. 28 in Hill Auditorium, it was announced yesterday by Kendall Wood, '34, president of the club. Although Scott has never been identified with any political organiza- tion, radical or conservative, he has secured a broad background for his technological beliefs through a Euro- pean education and through affilia- tion in a scientific capacity with the Air Nitrates Corp., of Muscle Shoals, Aln _the Technic1 Allini n New the subject "Technocracy: Diagnosis and Design."
