Kappa Nu Receives
Scholarship Award
Simplicity and the absence of long
speeches marked the Interfraternity-
Council's annual Pledge Banquet last
night with an attendance of more
than 700 at the Union, when the 506,
men pledged last week were formally
welcomed into fraternity life..
For the secon consecutive 'year,
Kappa Nu was presented with a
scholarship cup by Dean of Students
Joseph A. Bursley, an award signi-
fying that their scholarship average
was tops among the fraternities.
Emphasizes Responsibility
Following the banquet proper,
Thomas B. Adams, '40~, president of
the Interfraternity Council, gave a
short talk stressing the responsibility
of fraternity membership.
Addressing the audience of pledges,
rushing chairmen and fraternity
presidents, Adams said, "You cannot
bring credit upon yourself without
making your group the more worth-
while, you cannot disgrace yourself
without taking from your group
something that has real value .
your first job at college is study ..
through the college, you are the in-
heritors of the toil of thousands of
scholars of all ages; through your
fraternity, you are the inheritor of'
the traditions of hundreds of men
who, with great affection, have or-
ganized and maintained it.
Sing Michigan Songs
The Varsity Glee Club, under the
direction of Prof. David Mattern, of
the School of Music, presented a
group of Michigan songs, and led the
group in some of the more familiar
college songs.
Wilbur S. Davidson, '40, secretary
of the Council, acting as toastmaster,
introduced the members of the execu-
tive committee of the Council: Prof.
Jesse Ormondroyd, of the engineering,
school; Charles Graham and Her-
bert Watkins, out-of-school mem-
bers; William Bavinger, '40; Jack
Gelder, '40; Robert Harrington, '40,

Speech Indicates Possible
Intervention In China,
Informed Observers Say
Japanese Shocked
By Stern Attitude
TOKYO, Oct. 20.-(P)-Official and
diplomatic circles were rocked today
by the speech of United States Am-
bassador Joseph C. Grew in which
he 'declared, frankly that American
opinion deeply resentei the "bomb-
ings, indignities and manifold inter-
ference with American rights" in
China at the hands of the Japanese
army.
Japanese and foreign observerts
who said they were "astounded" at
the outspoken address, one of the
strongest ever made by a diplomat
in Japan, expressed the belief that it
had two possible meanings:
1. That the United States was
preparing definite action to oppose
further Japanese "interference" in
China.
2. A strong indication that public
opinion in Japan itself was turned
sharply against Japanese militarists.
"The ground in Japan must have
been prepared in advance for such
a powerful statement," well informed
sources declared. "A year ago it
would have done more harm than
good, therefore it would not have
been made."
The tall, grey-haired ambassa-
dor, who said his words came
"straight from the horse's mouth,"
spoke yesterday before a dumbfound-
ed audience of Japanese fiotables at
a luncheon of the American-Japan
Society, often a sounding board for
authoritative discussion of American-
Japanese relations.

ChamberlainM Hails Pledge
As 'Long-Term Policy
Of Collaboration'
Western War Front
Is 'Relatively Quiet'
LONDON, Oct. 16. -(;P)- British
and French diplomacy tonight won
Turkey-watchdog of the Dardanelles
-to a 15-year pact of mutual assist-
ance.
A cheering Parliament heard Prime
Minister Chamberlain announce the
pact had been signed at Ankara by
French, British and Turkish repre-
sentatives. He declared the instru-
ment cemented a "long term policy
of collaboration" and 'was not merely
"a temporary arrangement to meet a
pressing emergency."
The treaty provides for military
aid against "aggression" in tpe Medi-
terranean. It went into effect upon
signature at Ankara tonight.
Under the terms of the pact Tur-
key is not obligated to go to war
against Soviet Russia, but otherwise
she is obligated to go to the aid of
France and Britain if they must go
to war to maintain their pledges to
support the independence of Greece
and" Rumania.
Specifically, the pact provides it
"cannot compel Turkey to action
having as its effect or involving as its
consequence entry into armed con-
flict, with the U.S.S.R."
This war was itself relatively quiet.
The French high'- command an-
nounced the French on the Western
Front had withdrawn for distances
of as much as six miles along a 22-
mile line, indicating the French were
almost back to their own frontiers.
The German high command issued
a communique stating the French
had retreated entirely behind their
own lines, with the Germans halting
of their own accord as they reached
the frontier,
The German communique said "the
first phase of the war" in the West
was ended, and stressed the unimpor-
tance, in German eyes; of the action
there, by citing small numbers of
casualties, the small numbers en-
gaged, and the fact that the Ger-
mans in their counter offensive had
stopped at the French frontier.

Vandenberg Says Lifting
Embargo May Eventually
Force U.S. Into Conflict
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-()-For
a' brief, frank interim, the Senate's
neutrality debate got down today to
what many Senators consider the
essential question involved in repeal-
ing the arms embargo-and a point
that has been largely avoided in
nearly three weeks' discussion.
This was the argument that the
ban on arms shipments to belliger-
ents should be lifted to help Great
Britain and France win the war and
thereby eliminate any danger of
German aggression against the Wes-
tern Hemisphere.
A Republican supporter of Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the neutrality issue,
Senator Austin (Rep.-Vt.), raised
that question today, and in doing so
set the Senate off to a short, excited
flurry of give-and-take debate.
While Senator McCarran (Dem.-
Nev.) was asserting that the support-.
ers ,of the Administration bill had'
lost sight of the objective of neutral-
ity and instead wished to take sides,
Austin interrupted to observe that
"I think it is necessary to promote
the peace and the security of the
United States that the allies win."
Senator Borah (Rep-Idaho) was
on his feet at once demanding a
definition of the word "win." Austin
replied that "winning" meant stop-
ping aggression and halting events
that might lead to the occupation of
Canada or nearby islands by "totali-
tarian nations engaged in efforts tc
dominate the world.b I
At that point Senator Vandenberg
(Rep.-Mich.) inquired whether Aus-
tin's argument would not logicall3
call for active American participa-
tion in the war if lifting the embarg
failed to produce an allied victory.

SpyCharges,
After spending one night in a Brit-
ish jail as a Nazi spy suspect, Merrill
J. Luther, '40, of Ann Arbor, is now
safe in Rothenberg, Sweden, accord-
ing to a cable received yesterday by
his mother, Mrs. M. J. Luther of 708,
Haven street..
Luther, former member of the now
defunict Panorama magatzine,shipped
as helmsman on the Swedish S. S.
Roxen last April, and after stopping
in Hawaii, Australia, Java, East In-
dies, Capetown and bakar in Africa,
was forced to accompany the ship
to the Canary Islands when war
broke out.
After the ship had had flags paint-
ed on its sides to escape being bombed,
Luther went to England. After a
short stay in London, she went to
Blyth and then to Newcastle where
he was arrested on the report of 'a
pedestrian who had seen him taking
pictures. He was let out the niorning
after when it was seen that all his
papers were in order.
Luther was accompanied on the
trip by Francis Faulhaber, '38, and
Sam Coscarilli, Wayne University
student. Faulhaber left the ship at
Dakar and came back to the United
States.
Luther hopes to. be able to return
to this country in December;al-
though he did not say how he in-
tends to, make the trip. He intends
to return to school in February.

With the call of the Chicago game
ringing in their ears, the Varsity's
valiant fans are leaving Ann Arbor
today by every conveyance imagin-
able-except automobiles.
The auto ban prevents many Uni-
versity students living in Detroit and
its vicinity from utilizing a cheap
method of transportation. Of course,
there are arguments on both sides
of the fence and The Daily Inquiring
Reporters have taken the opportunity
to go out and ask:
THE QUESTION: Do you believe
that students should be allowed to
drive cars to out-of-town football
games?
THE ANSWERS:
Douglas Miller, '40-"Yes, I believe
of the worry with which mothers
would be faced."
Ruben Frost, '40E-"By all means!
The private lives of the students
should be no concern of the Univer-
sity, and the question should really
be up to the individual. After all,
when students drive outside of Ann
Arbor, they should be out of the juris-
diction of the University. I believe
they are presuming too much."
Office of the Dean of Students-
"Out-of-town trips to football games
are probably the most dangerous
trips that students can make.- In
spite of our desire to aid students to
attend away games, we cannot, with
fairness to experience and to parents
allow students to undertake such
trips."
