HURD Fraternities Look Ahead*.. . THOSE IN WHOSE HANDS the di- rection and development of Mich- igan's fraternities will rest three years from now will gather for the first time tomorrow evening at a banquet given by the Interfraternity Council in honor of fraternity pledges. The many problems that fraternities meet are unknown to the great majority of pledges. It is often that upper classmen, juniors and seniors, fail to realize the problems that are ever con- fronting fraternities. The burden of directing and developing fraternities has, as a result, fallen on a few shoulders. As problems grow more complex in every insti- tution, they have grown more complex in fra- ternities. More cooperation is required today than ten years ago, and more cooperation will be de- manded five years hence. As fraternity pledges gather tomorrow night, they will realize the vastness of fraternity organi- zation. Fraternity problems will be the subject of their thought. Instead of waiting several years to take an interest in fraternity group problems, they will begin as freshmen; and as a consequence, when they become responsible for the destiny of Michigan's fraternities, they will be better fitted to meet their problems than fraternity men have been in the past. Also significant in their meeting is the recogni- tion of excellence in scholarship. The fraternity whose members maintained the highest grade average last year will be given the Interfraternity Council scholarship cup as recognition of its at- tainment. The results of this banquet should be as con- structive and as far-reaching as any project ever undertaken by the Interfraternity Council. Whither North China?. . JAPAN IS BEGINNING to encounter difficulties in her audacious plan to will hail any reports of obstacles in Japan's path. The movement aiming at independence of these provinces is even more unjustifiable and ruthless than the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo. This particular section of China is the oldest center of its ancient civilization. The situation is analagous to the establishment of a separate nation here out of the original thirteen states of the Union, under the control and guidance of a foreign power. The political situation in North China is one that bodes ill for future peace. Russia and Japan are almost stepping on one another's toes in their anxiety to gain the upper hand in Eastern Asia. Both have extended their spheres of influence steadily, and there is little doubt that they will sooner or later come into direct conflict. China, in the meantime, has apparently decided to "string along" with Japan, although her reluc- tance to readily acquiesce to the latest Japanese move indicates that she is wavering in the direc- tion of the League. China is, and has been for some time, in a politically decentralized condi- tion. Although nominally the Nanking govern- ment is the central authority in the country, ac- tually there are a large number of warlords, or military governors, who rule their particular prov- inces with a practically free hand. The temerity exhibited by Japan in its actions with regard to the five Chinese provinces is as- tonishing. For some time she has been replacing pro-Chinese officials in the provinces with pro-Jap- anese officials, a procedure that has been made easier by the general apathy of the Chinese people toward politics. With practically the entire offi- cialdom of the provinces now consisting of Chinese with Japanese proclivities, and with the attention of the world and the League of Nations diverted by the Italian-Ethiopian conflict, Japan is moving boldly to make a puppet state out of a wealthy territory populated with almost 100 million Chi- nese and Mongols. Japan's complete disregard for China's natural rights in the matter are indicated by an enlight- ening paragraph appearing in a recent Associated Press dispatch from Tokio: "Interviews emanating from the war office stressed that the Japanese army must oppose forcibly any attempt of the Nanking government to send troops to that area." In other words Japan is asserting that her right to send her armies into the heart of China to enforce her policies supersedes the right of China herself to maintain her territorial integrity.

EDITOR'S NOTE: These two letters were written to The Daily at the request of Ethel A. McCormick, social director of women. Arrive Earlier To the Editor: I am in favor of the earlier hour on Friday nights. Naturally any change in customary rules will cause a disturbance. When the women be- come accustomed to the earlier hour, however, they will not resent the change. Moreover, "dat- ing" is being done, just as much on Saturday as on Friday in spite of the 12:30 hour on that night; if the women want more time for dancing they should make it a point to arrive earlier. -Brenda Parkinson, '36. The Valiant Few To the Editor: The question of shortening women's hours for Friday night is to be decided Monday. If it is true, as it seems to be, that, the majority of the under- graduate women oppose this measure, we are faced with the social phenomenon of the multitude clamoring to uphold a principle, and the valiant few standing firm for prosaic common sense. That the principle is commendable, we grant, but the women, so accustomed over a period of years to struggle for the right of individual decision are apparently incapable of a rational view of this problem. The real issue is not one of subjecting ourselves to paternalism, or maternalism if you choose, since the action was initiated by University women themselves and not through official channels. It is rather a decision as to which course would be more beneficial in our attempt to achieve the goal we seek in college. That goal is for some, social success; for others, purely intellectual development, but for the great majority of us, a mean some- where between the two. I approve of the proposed change for reasons purely practical. There are those of us, who, although faced with two classes on Saturday morn- ing, would nevertheless like to go out Friday night, but not to the detriment of our work. It is pos- sible but most awkward to leave dances an hour early. The escort will inevitably be resentful of such treatment. Why then, should we not set the hours at 12:30 rather than 1:30 and begin the evening at 9 rather than 10? This appears to be the most logical solution, and if, in the future, hours were to be advanced one hour on Saturday night, there should remain no objection. -Betty Greve, '36. Ohio State University contributed $43,367 to the Federal and state governments last fall as taxes on its five home football games. Dr. Armistid V. Grosse, youthful discoverer of element 91 and a University of Chicago professor, is now searching for a way to produce radioum more cheaply. The Conning Tower PLAINT AGAINST PROGRESS One exhibitor displayed a combination cab- inet and, sink which can be fitted over a bathtub, the tub being used to store vege- tables or linen.-Herald Tribune. My eye has always twinkled, and my upper lip has curled When hearing plaints that this is but a mechan- istic world; Reports of new inventions over me cast magic spells, And I've listened very avidly to Jeans and H. G. Wells; But though I'm all for progress, yet I'm moved to bitter wrath By these latest modern gadgets which forbid me from my bath! Of all the bathtubs I have used (and many have I been in) Not one struck me as just the place to share with piles of linen, And when I'm singing gayly, or I'm reading Keats or Plato, I'd hate to have as kibitzer a not too clean potato; I redden at the prospect (or at least I grow quite pink) Of tubs that change from cabinets into a kitchen sink! I always viewed with interest, and I greeted with loud cheers The intricate contraptions of our brainy gadget- eers; I applauded each invention and each chromium device- But now I see that progress sometimes costs too dear a price: I only ask these bright young men to stick to rules of math, And leave old fogies like myself a place to take a bath! M.K.H. Mr. J. P. Morgan said that people here didn't realize that if a firm goes ahead and increases its business, eight months of the results each year are taken away in taxes. "Which," said Mr. Mor- gan, "is not .much incentive to work." It seems to us that people don't realize that if a nation goes ahead and increases its armaments many of that nation's young men are taken away in death Which is not much incentive to war. WILL ROGERS BILL Sir: If George Ade was talking about the inci- dent I have knowledge of, Will Rogers did not get the $500. He got $1,000. The late Mrs. Mary Harriman Rumsey once told me of a supper party she gave for the Prince of Wales. Before drawing up the invitation list she asked H.R.H. if there was any one he especially wanted to meet. H.R.H. said, "Yes, only one. Will Rogers." Mrs. Rumsey invited Rogers; he came; he was asked to do his stuff; he did a special impromptu, kidding the royal lad, who was, if never before, the enchanted prince. Rogers, or his business agent, sent Mrs. Rumsey a bill for $1,000, which she promptly and gladly paid. Afterward she told of the incident as a joke on herself - that she was afraid some catty woman had bruited it about that her parties were so dull she had to pay her guests a thousand dollars apiece and throw in the Prince of Wales as a special in- ducement. BURTON RASCOE. And Mr. Gene Goldstein says that it was Harry M. Daugherty's party, that the bill was paid, the money going to a charity designated by Rogers. The attention of the Pulitzer award commit- tee, not to say of the Banshees- an organization of newspaper executives who are to award prizes to reporters - hereby is directed to "The Biography of Slain Youth Born Into Crime." It was written by Earl Sparling, and was printed in yesterday's World-Telegram. It is the factual story of Angelo Perretti, twenty-six, buried yesterday. He was shot by policemen Sunday morning on the roof of 189 First Avenue. SMALL COUPLETS ON GREAT SUBJECTS Youth Small consolation to the girl nobody woos That stars do not, like street lamps, march in twos. The adolescent girl and also, belike, her brother Thinks that to love one thing you must hate an- other. To be beloved, strive not for inner grace; All that you need is rhythm in your face. Pragmatism Each man in some small way must feel superior If only by calling some whole race inferior. If I worked to help all share this planet's pelf I'd lose my job and then not share myself. I'll take the bitter with the blessed thing: Perish together the honey and the sting. PHYLLIS MERRILL. Literati Pays Tribute to Mark Twain's Humor. -Newark Evening News. They does, does they? Massachusetts correspondent sends word that a well-known writer has written a piece for the American Mercury about another well known writer who has written a brief imaginary dialogue between two famous lovers, -P.M.P., in the Syracuse Post Standard. Translating this into English, Charles Morgan wrote the piece about George Moore's imaginary A Washington BYSTANDER By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. - Budget making for the next fiscal year involves very critical decisions for President Roosevelt. They are more critical perhaps from the viewpoint of his own political future than even the similar decision he made in 1934. There is plenty to indicate Mr. Roose- velt fully realizes this. His budgetary ideas are a jealously guarded secret at this moment. The White House is more sensitive on that point than any other. Any speculative newspaper story brings quick reaction. The situation also is illuminated by the efforts Mr. Roose- velt has made at press conferences and in commenting on haphazard re- marks about the budgetary situation' by administration subordinates to discount advance budget estimates. Back in 1934 Mr. Roosevelt pre- sented his first relief-recovery-reform budget in a message that startled the nation if not the world. * * * * THAT '34 budget boldly forecast a probable total national debt of nearly $32,000,000,000 by July, 1935. That the placing of so staggering a picture before the nation was done against the protest of some presiden- tial advisers is now an open secret. They feared the poltical effect. Mr. Roosevelt carried on, however, and since the tremendous outlays had not by the date he set reached that total, he since has been charged by political foes with deliberate over-statement in order to produce an effect. This is worth recalling since now the President seems to face a deci- sion as to how to handle a reverse situation. Certainly recovery as well as discernible political though trends seem to invite a budget program next January so drastically revised down- ward as to take much of the wind out of a "balance-the-budget" '36 cam- paign issue. Is Mr. Roosevelt about to strike again in budgetary matters as boldly as he did in '34 but in the other direction? * * * * WHEN such spokesmen as Secretary Roper, Chairman Jones of RFC and others of the "new deal" high command, turned out to urge a new wave of business and banking cooper- ation to complete the recovery drive, it was a notable fact that they were mum on the budgetary question. No message they could have carried from Washington to their respective audi- ences would have been better cal- culated to promote such cooperation than hints of budget balancing in the offing. Not even Roper's assurances that the "new deal" reform program is complete, the "breathing spell" still on, could match it in reassuring effect. But they said nothing on the point, no doubt by White House command. Visions' of a half-billion cut in "emergency" outlays next year and a similar increase in tax yield due to recovery to make up a billion dollar stride toward a balanced budget, have been conjured up by some writers. No responsible official in Washing- ton could be found to sponsor that or any other estimate. The President declares he himself will not know un- til the last moment. s .4 (Continued from Page 2) Convention will give reports of im- portant addresses. Church of Christ (Disciples) ' 10:45 a. m.
