NIGHT EDITOR: RALPH W. HURD
Harmful
To Both
THIRTY CHINESE students, attend-
ing a forum at the Union last night
at which Toyohiko Kagawa, Japanese religious
leader, was the principal speaker, walked out in
protest when Kagawa. after using the word "Man-
chukuo" in referring to the territory which they be-
lieved should be called."Manchuria," declined to
promise not to use the objectionable term.
The arguments on both sides are clear. The
Chinese students believe that the use of the word
"Manchukuo" is offensive because the territory
from which Japan's puppet state was formed was
gained through imperialist war against China. Fur-
thermore, no country in the world outside of
Japan has recognized the puppet state.
Kagawa stuck to his use of the word "Manchu-
kuo" because it is commonly used in the United
States, whether the government has recognized
Japan's puppet or not.
As a result of this disagreement, much unpleas-
ant feeling has been engendered on the campus,
which cannot help but mar the stay of the Jap-
anese visitor.
The incident is particularly regrettable, we be-
lieve, because of its triviality. If it were not plain
that Kagawa is a strong hater of imperialist ag-
gression, and that his disapproval of the invasion
of China is comparable to that of the Chinese
students, it would be more difficult to say that the
protest was trivial. Certainly any action against
Japan's Far Eastern aggression cannot be dis-
missed with a smile. But this move, because it is
a quarrel between persons who are on the same side
of the question, bids fair to do more harm than
good.
Why 4,00
Airplaniws?
UZ NAJ'I( )N is no longel protted
from air attacks because of the wide
extent of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and we
must govern ourselves accordingly ...
"The first and most potent reason for the early
enactment of this bill to increase our army air
force to a figure not exceeding 4,000 planes is the
fact that it is necessary for adequate national
defense.
"All great nations now have huge airplane car-
riers which are in fact floating landing fields to
enable them to carry aerial warfare to enemy
shores."
ThMs reads the report of the House Military
Affairs Committee in which it recommends increas-
ing the United States Army air force to 4,000
planes. The picture painted by this committee,
and Hearst and jingoes and all others plugging the
war scare, is a dire one indeed. But they forget
to mention what power is going to bring over a
fleet of airplane carriers, packed to the gills with
bombing planes, and blow the United States off the
map.
Is it Japan? Hardly. Her interests are in the
Far East. She must subdue Russia before she
can even think of crossing the Pacific to pick
new fights. And even when Japan got to the
point of thinking about such an expedition she
would probably be wise enough to think twice.
And even if she didn't think twice, it would be a
financial and physical impossibility for her to make
to carry aerial warfare to enemy shores."
Desperate as the international situation may be,
there is not one competent observer of the scene
who has offered the opinion that the United States
faces even a remote danger of invasion.
The brand of preparedness which the House
Military Affairs Committee is advocating was tried
in Europe in the years before 1914. The extent to
which it prevented war was amply illustrated. It is
quite clear that that armament race was one of
the major factors in creating international fear
and antagonism, and bringing on the World War.
It is not only needless for the United States to
follow the advice of Hearst, the Navy League, and
other "preparedness" groups in the United States,
but it is harmful and unintelligent. And especially
from the student and educator, who are deprived
of much-needed assistence by the extravagant
armament construction, is a protest pertinent.

To Mr. Kagawa
An Open Letter to Mr. Kagawa from the
Chinese Students on the Campus
Dear Mr. Kagawa:
We wish to restate our objection, made at the
discussion at the Michigan Union Wednesday eve-
ning, to your insistent use of the word "Man-
chukuo" for Manchuria. We Chinese object to the
use of this term because we regard it as a misnomer
designed to mislead the world. In both Chinese
and Japanese as you, of course, know, the word
"kuo" means sovereign state. Since all the mem-
her nations of the League and the United States
have refused to honor this word or to give recog-
nition to the so-called state, it seems to us unfair
to use it in connection with a piece of Chinese
territory.-
We have always regarded your attitude toward
militarism indJapaneas marking you for a fair-
minded, world-minded man, and have thought
of you as our friend. We cannot fail, however,
to feel doubtful of your sincerity, if you decline to
abandon the use of this dishonest, Japanese-coined
misnomer. We ask you again to cooperate with
us in preventing the confusion which our Amer-
ican friends must experience, if its use is continued.
If you are sincere in your message of world peace,
we feel you should be willing to abandon this term
which is so offensive to us Chinese and to all who
understand the meaning behind it and call Man-
churia, Manchuria. Let us hope that you are not
preaching the kind of peace which is bought at
the price of simply maintaining the status quo for
the conquerors.

University of Michigan.

To the Editor:
Going Saturday night to the Lydia Mendelssohn,
and there being entertained by the excellent per-
formance of Harrell and Company, I was moved,
after the manner of F.P.A., to offer this:
The affair from Moliere
Was sprightly, not hefty;
In the sketch by Odets
They did rightly by Lefty.
Walking across the street afterward, and seeing
the hole the men have dug for the bell tower at the
back corner of Hill, I felt like sending you this:
Plans which hide the new campanile
Under the sill of Hill
Auditorium,
It occurs to me, should really
Be left overnight in a tight
Crematorium.
It is the opinion of one student that, unlike a
good siio, a good bell tower is much better standing
free of other buildings.

Enemies Of Good Movenii tt
(From The Daily Northwestern)
THERE IS ALWAYS great need for intelligent
and constructive criticism of government. No
government is perfect and no administration can
handle the affairs of a nation without making
mistakes. Well meaning administrators, dictators
excluded, welcome such advice and mistakes can
often be corrected thereby. The right of free
criticism is a main stay of good government in
the United States.
Mere right to criticize is, however, no excuse for
the biased, unscrupulous and partisan badgering
which for the past three years the Colonels Knox
and McCormick and super-patriot Hearst have
been carrying on against the New Deal. They have
conducted their disgraceful campaign in a manner
which is an insult to intelligent readers.
Through the depths of the depression when the
highest degree of emotionless logic was demanded,
the Chicago dailies kept up their ceaseless crusade
of inflammable propaganda, and they have never
stopped since. They employ every known trick
of yellow journalism. Noted for its sensationalism,
the Herald and Examiner is scarcely more biased
than the apparently conservative and reliable
Daily News and Tribune. Day after day, highly
editorialized and distorted stories appear on the

Historians' Peekly-Weekly
Results of a private poll conducted by the
Peekly-Weekly's Private Poll & Apple Pan
Dowdy Department to determine whether or
not public opinion favors an alphabet of 41
letters, as recommended (according to the
Associated Press) by Dr. Frank C. Laubach,
of Portland, Ore., with (according to un-
confirmed rumors) a clear conscience, a
hey-nonny-nonny and one leg on the Goody-
Goody Cup.
WORDSWORTH WARDSWORTH LONGFEL-
LOW, poet, Canarsie: "An alphabet of 26
letters was good enough for Washington. Lin-
coln, and Martin Van Buren. I don't see why
we Should change horses in the middle of the
metaphor."
A. A. AMPERSAND, &-manufacturer. Boston:
"By all means let's have a new alphabet. Only
make mine with white rock."
REMINGTONIA % UNDERWOOD, noiseless
stenographer, Brooklyn: "Hey! I got enough
keyboard trouble now without this guy stickin'
in some more letters! Ain't it only half-past
three?"
FISSURE O'TISSUE, milkman, the Bronx: "In
the National League, I think it'll be a close
race between the Giants, Cubs, Pirates, Cards
and Reds, with maybe the Dodgers, Bees, and
Phillies having a look-in. But in the Ameri-
can League, I can't see anything to it but the
Tigers, Yankees, Red Sox, Indians, and Browns,
and possibly the White Sox, Senators, and
Athletics. Does that answer your question?"
ALIAS DePSEUDONYM, advertising Writer, New
York: "A new alphabet would be a great help
in my profession. For instance: I am often
asked to suggest a name for a new product;
such as, for instance, a new run-proof stocking
with hole-proof, snag-proof, and tickle-proof
features. Of course, I might call it 'HOLEX' or
'STOCK-EZE'; or even, for instance, 'LEG-
LUX.' But, for instance, if we had a 41-letter
alphabet, I could coin a word; such as, for
instance, a word containing three of the new
characters, which we'll say, for instance, are
'70, &, and $. In other words, I'd call the stock-
ing '%&$EX'; or maybe '%°J,&$-LUX'. Then I'd
have a trade name that would be unique; a
name nobody, no matter how good his pro-
nunciation was, could steal. I might even be able
to copyright this idea, and establish a whole
new school of advertising, which might even-
tually, for instance, become known as 'The
DePseudonym Snitch-Pruf Theory'. I mean
it's a nacheral!"
VERNAL W. EQUINOX, SPring 7-3100: "I want
a policeman!"
ANTONYM T. SYNONYM, master mind, Scars-
dale: "A 41-letter alphabet? Well- -yes and
no. I might even say if, maybe, and perhaps.
Meanwhile. I'm on the fence. We etymolo-
gists must dipthong together. Yaow!"

an A. B. from Harvard, an A. A. A. from

BYSTANDER
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON, March 26. - The
remarkable case of "Three-C's,"
the scheme for getting youngsters off
the roads that was about the earliest
New Deal alphabetical agency to be
launched, was reemphasized when the
first money bill touching that activity
hit the House. There were immediate
stirrings of revolt against administra-
tion plans for trimming the corps
down again to 300.000p.
That is still scheduled to happen.
Present plans call for abandonment
of a thousand CCC camps over the
country. Many are already standing
idle. Representative Johnson of Ok-
lahoma wailed in anguish over that
and put Democratic leadership on
warning of his intention to attempt
restoring CCC to its depression peak
authorization of 600.000.
That mark was never reached, due
to a requirement that enrollees be
taken only from families on relief.
The corps was doubled under the
four billion dollar work-relief proj-
ect, but one of the early signs of im-
proving times detected by CCC en-
thusiasts was the inability of Director
Fechner to get more than 520,000
boys under that restriction,
OPPOSITION LACKING
YET, as Johnson noted, here was a
plan greatly ridiculed at is incep-
tion and now "almost universally
praised." Certainly House members
must have heard a lot from home
about that. Even at a time when
Republican gunners of the House
were alert to shoot at every New
Deal expenditure head that showed
itself, nobody arose to challenge
Johnson.
The fact that the corps was spread
at its peak in 2,400 camps had some-
thing to do with that. There can be
but a few purely urban congressional
districts not directly interested in the
CCC camps.
And house advocates of keeping
CCC going at full pitch have another
point to argue. A very large part of
the CCC force today is in "soil ero-
sion" camps. With a "soil conserva-
tion" substitute for court-demolished
AAA comnig along why, ask Johnson7
and his pro-CCC group, reduce the
force needed to do the soil conserv-
ing? Economizing on CCC is going
to be tough going, witness the 75-
man "bloc" in the House.
COLONEL REPEATS
AT FIRST glance. the list of sub-
committees created to handle
preparations for the Democratic con-
vention in Philadelphia had a
strangely military flavor. There were,
it appeared, a good many colonels
included. On closer inspection, how-
ever, it developed that they were all
the same colonel, Colonel Edwin A.
Halsey, no less, secretary of the Sen-
ate.
There are six convention subcom-
mittees. Colonel Halsey's name ap-
pears on five of the six. The only con-
vention arrangements business he
does not touch is picking out clergy-
men to deliver invocations. As to con-
vention personnel, tickets, badges,
boxes, programs and concessions, the
Colonel will be a busy man.

" THE STAGE__
"SIPRIZE!" JUJNIOR I RLS PLAY Al'T THE LYIA MENDELSSOIIIN
I
y JOSEPHINE T. McLEAN
(Daily Women's Editor)
Amid the clink-clank of pennies on
the stage and the waving of mortar-
boards, the 1936 Junior Girls Play,
"Sprize !" made a successful debut
last night at the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre. It was successful because
it was designed for campus and not
Broadway. Written by the central
committee, it takes the form of a
revue, satire on magazines being the
correlating idea. This method is an
excellent one for an amateur produc-
tion as each scene, a unit in itself,
makes for variety and prevents slow
scenes from jeopardizing the struc-
ture of the entire play.
"Photoplay" and "Child Life" were
the best sustained of the larger skits,
the setting of the latter being par-
ticularly appealing. The peppiest act
was "Liberty-Loyalty Oath," and the
fine execution of the Prologue and
Finale began and ended the show on
a high note.
Suggestions - they're minor-con-
dense, although don't remove, "Detec-
tive"; shift scenes more quickly;
speed up the music between acts;
change the name of Harlow to West;
more Millers in -the modern "Vogue"
scene.
Naturally, there are no stars in a
production of this kind, but there are
certain women who excelled. Bou-

Bouquets in fistfulls to a bunch of
girls with enthusiasm and real abili-
ty!
These junior girls entertained the
campus last night with routines that
showed the effects of 1 a.m. rehears-
als, and we of the audience shared
that bubbly feeling of college life
with them all. If there were flaws
in the performance, we forgive 'em
all for their grand trouper spirit. It
made us feel young again.
But those darn senior women had
Aunt Alice and Uncle Joe grinning in
the balcony with their fool unladylike
cutting-up. They don't deserve to be
graduated. Their spirit contributed
to the spontaneous fun, and there
was a touch of sentimental clinging
to something slipping away in their
rowdyism.
Most everyone rates special men-
tion. Edith Zerbe, Virginia Frink
and Oren Parker must have worked,
worked, worked and to good effect.
Music by Lodge & Schultz is of pro-
fessional caliber; notably their two
songs "Love Is Climbing Up A Rain-
bow," and "The Arcade."
Three scenes vie for blue ribbons.
The good comic effect in "Photo-
play" showed some intelligent script
work. The two swell Raggedy-Ann
dancers in the "Child Life" scene were
so good they might have been men,
