Regulation, He Says
Linguists should study speech, but
to do so they must engage in cooper-
ation with researchers in the allied
fields of physiology and psychology,
according to Prof. C. L. Meader, who
spoke yesterday noon on the Linguis-
tic Institute iconference topic, "Are
linguists studying speech?"
Pointing out that the question is
essentially without meaning because
of the different definitions of
"speech" and "language," Professor
Meader proceeded to define language
as "a means of integrating two or
more individuals by a transformation
of energy."
Such an integration, he explained,
occurd as a result of a complicated
process involving five considerations.
These are the electrochemical activi-
ties of the body, the subjective me-
chanism of speech, the motor pro-
cesses of speech, including the ac-
tivity of the sympathetic nervous sys-
tem, such physical processes in the
action of transmission as light and
sound, and, finally, the hearer of
speech.
"For example," he continued, "the
professor of general linguistics who
studies the phoneme without a knowl-
edge of psychology and physiology
never will find out very much about
the phoneme. And, of course, the
physiologist and the psychologist are
not equipped to study it, either, with
only a knowledge of physiology or
psychology."
The great need in the field of lin-
guistic research, Professor Meader
presented emphatically, is for col-
laboration with workers in kindred
fields. "Even if we consider lan-
guage as a mental phenomenon, and
Such a view seMs absurd to me, we
trust recognize the growing body of
material showing the intimate rela-
tionship between mind and body. The
linguist of tomorrow must have a
much less highly specialized equip-
ment and a much broader knowledge
of all phases of linguistic science.
Otherwise he will be unable to par-
ticipate fully in the development of
linguistic research."

Widespread Use Of Force
Has Followed Adoption
Of League's Covenant
By HARRY SONNEBORN
Outlining the history of war from
the earliest Biblical records to the
present day, Prof. George Graf ton
Wilson of Harvard University last
night explained the international le-
gal implications of the use of force
without formal declaration of war to
approximately 100 persons, in the
first public lecture given by a mem-
ber of the faculty of the, Summer
Session in International Law.
Professor Wilson pointed out that
under the Covenant of the League of
Nations, it was expected that the pro-
visions for collective security would
make declaration unnecessary.
There has followed a period during
which the use of force without declar-
ation, but with the hope that some
collective measures would assure
peace, has become common," he said.
"This has led to uncertainties and
misunderstandings of a nature to
promote rather than to limit hostili-
ties," he explained.
Professor Wilson, who is an author-
ity upon such phases of interna-
tional law as aerial war, neutrality,
and the status of territorialwaters,
and conducts courses in these sub-
jects du ing the session, said that it
was a Iommon delusion that war
could be quickly abolished. "The

1Wr
French have a saying," he said, "that
all good things come slowly. We must
learn that war must be got rid of by
slow, progressive measures."
He described the difficulties which
may be encountered in trade and in
legal proceedings when the exact
time of a declaration or an ending of
a state of war by treaty is not set.
Since the Italo-Turkish War, accord-
ing to Professor Wilson, treaties and
declarations of war have been ex-
ceedingly specificdas to exact dates
and times, in order that there may
be no misunderstandings. The declar-
ations of war that brought the var-
ious Allied nations into the World
War and the treaties that ended the
war nearly all specified the exact
minute that the state of war should
be geemed to begin and end, he
pointed out.
On Monday, July 11, Prof. Percy
E. Corbett of McGill University will
present the second lecture in the
series, entitled "Conflicting Doctrines
on the Foundations of International
Law." George A. Finch, managing
editor of the American Journal of
International Law, will speak on
"Justiciable and Non-Justiciable Dis-
putes" on Monday, July 18; and on
ths following Monday, July 25, Prof.
Jesse S. Reeves of the political science
department will speak on " Interna-
tion l Boundaries," in the last lecture
of the series.
All the public lectures are held at
8 p. m. in the small auditorium of the
Rackham building.

Cook To Speak
On Compounds
Causing Cancer
British Doctor's Researcht
On Coal Tar ProductsE
Subject Of 2nd Lecture,
"Cancer - Producing Compounds
and their Chemical Relationships"
will be the subject of a talk to be
given by Dr. J. W. Cook of the Re-
search Institute of the Royal Cancer
Hospital of London, England at 4:15c
p.m. Friday in Room 165 in the
Chemistry Building. ,
Nine years ago the discovery was
made at the Research Institute that
cancer could be produced by pure
chemical compounds. It had been s
known for some time that workmenl
exposed to coal tar were prone to
develop cancer. By a series of bril-l
liant chemical investigations, Dr.
Cook and his associates isolated from
coal. tar the compound responsible
for the cancer-producing action and
subsequently synthesized in the lab-
oratory a host of compounds which
they tested on mice.
The results of these experiments
will be the subject of Dr. Cook's lec-
ture. This lecture will be the second
in a series of seven which are being
given in the Chemistry Building dur
ing the Summer Session. Dr. Cook
is at present giving a series of le-
tures at the Summer Session of the

Big '38Issue
Roosevelt Won't Abandon
His Attempt To Revamp
Executive, He Asserts
Predicts Ultimate
Enactment of Bill
WASHINGTON, June 5.-(P)-The
bitter issue of government reorgani-
zation appeared likely tonight to play
a major part in 1938 campaigning.
President Roosevelt made plain at
a press conference this afternoon that
he had not abandoned the idea of re-
vamping the executive branch of the
government, despite his defeat on the
issue at the last session of Congress.
The public wants a reorganization
bill, he said. He predicted that one
would be enacted, to put the govern-
ment on a businesslike basis.
Critics who charged that an at-
tempt was being made to clothe the
President with dictatorial powers
were successful in their fight against
administration reorganization pro-
posals in the 75th Congress. A bill
passed the Senate, but the subject
was pigeon-holed in the House.
Prior to the press conference, Mr.
Roosevelt's last before leaving Thurs-
day on a transcontinental tour de-;
voted jointly to politics and sight-
seeing, the Chief Executive discussed1
government reorganization w i t h
members of his special reorganization
committee. The group, which drafted
the original reorganization bill, is
composed of Louis Brownlow, Luther
Gulick and Charles Merriam. I
Mr. Roosevelt told reporters people1
do not want to wait another 40 years
to change the governmental machin-
ery in the interest of efficiency. i
He said most representatives who
voted to shelve the reorganization
measure favored 90 per cent of its
principles but opposed 10 per cent of
its details.
Somewhere between the House and1
Senate reorganization bills, he said,.
an extremely valuable law undoubt-
edly could be worked out.
When press conference questioning
turned to politics, Mr. Roosevelt said
he had expressed no opinion to any-i
one on the Colorado Democratic pri-1
mary, in which Sen. Alva Adams isl
seeking renomination against Judge
Benjamin Hilliard of the Colorado
State Supreme Court, who announced
his candidacy after a call at the<
White House.1

HONGKONG, July 5-WP)-Circles
in close touch with the Chinese Gov-
ernment declared today that Chinese-'
German relations have become "even
more serious than they appear."
Departure of German General Ba-
ron Alexandr von Falkenhausen and
28 of his assistant military advisers
to the Chinese Government from
Hankow today 'was judged only in-
cidental in development of the situ-
ation. It ended a nine-year period
of German military association with
the Chinese Central Government.
There was a general belief in dip-
lomatic circles that the Italian-Ger-
man-Japanese anti-Communism pact
would be tightened in the Far East,
that Germany soon would make fur-
ther moves to show her friendship for
Japan, and that France and Britain
would balance this by more obvious
support to China-possibly financial.
. It was predicted that Germany, in
any future gestures toward Japan,
would act on the theory that Nippon's1
position needs strengthening in the
Far East, particularly in regard to So-
viet Russia.
Diplomatic circles considered espe-
cially significant the fact that Ger-
many responded to Japan's year-old
plea for withdrawal of General vont
Falkenhausen and his staff only when
tension heightened between Ger-
many and Czechoslovakia-Russia's
military ally.
Japs Prepare New Drive
SHANGHAI, July 5.-UP)--Japan-t
ese commanders gathered their forces
today, following upon the capture of
Hukow, for an intensified drive to-
ward Hankow, China's provisional
capital 150 miles up the Yangtze Riv-
er.
Planning to enlarge the gains made
in the last 24 hours, they declared
the Japanese onslaught aimed at1
Hankow, Wuchang and Hanyang, thet
"Wuhan cities," would be "ceaselessly1
maintained with the utmost vigor."
Naval commanders announced that
a squadron of warships reached Hu-t
kow, after a major breaching of the1
Matochen rock and timber booms,1
25 miles down river, where. Chinese
shore batteries and machine gun
units made a prolonged stand before
admitting withdrawal of their major
forces June 30.
Describing the action about Hukow,
a Japanese military communique to-.
day said 1,000 Chinese soldiers at-
tempting to escape into Poyang Lake
in junks were slaughtered.

Next Weekend
Approximately 150 young tag sales-
men will invade the campus Friday
and downtown Ann Aibor Saturday
July 15 and 16, to help raise $2,000
for the operation of the University of
Michigan Fresh Air Camp at Patter-
son Lake this summer. The dates
for the drive were officially set when
officials of the University of Michi-
gan and Mayor Walter C. Sadler
granted permission to conduct the
Tag Day.
Last year the summer Tag Drive
was most successful when $900 was
collected in a two-day drive on the
campus and in the downtown district.
Other important sources of revenue
for the camp include donations from
alumni of the University of Michigan,
business and professional groups and
friends.

Famous Chinese Educator
And Scholar Inaugurates
Far Eastern Lectures
Lao-tse, Confucius
And Moti:described
'By ELLIOT MA.RANISS
Lao-tse, Confucius and Moti, the
philosophers of China's first period of
intellectual maturity, were character-
ized yesterday by Dr. Hu Shih as men
who reflected in their thinking and
action the turbulence, strife and 'in-
trigue attendant to the first attempt
to break down the bonds of feudalism
in that country.
Educator, philsopher and writer,
and generally acknowledged as one of
the modern world's greatest thinkers
Dr. Hu opened the special lecture ser-
ies being held here in conjunction
with the Institute of Far Eastern
Studies, by indicating the insepara-
bility of the theories of the philoso-
phers of the Chinese Golden Age
from their concrete political and so-
cial effects and consequences, Dr. Hu
also emphasized that this cultural
birth was not confined to China but
coincided with the cultural and phil-
osophical maturity of Greek, Persian
and Hebrew thought.
Lao-Tse A Rebel
Contrary to the prevalent belief
that Lao-tse was a mere theorizer, a
"goody-goody philosopher,'1 Dr. Hu
maintained that he was a rebel "who
revolted against the decadent civili-
zation of his time and strove earnest-
ly to find a way out." Lao-tse was an
invererate opponent of language,
knowledge and other "artificial dis-
tinguishments." His remedy for the
artificiality of civilization, according
to Dr. Hu, was a return to the state
of hature, the only domain in which
there are no moral distingushments
The political-' outcomle of the teah-
ings of this ancient voicing the phil-
osophy of Rousseau and Tolstoy was
one of complete governmental inac-
tion. Dr. Hu said that Lao-tse be-
lieved that states cannot bearuledby
knowledge nor governed by death;
the best way is to let them alone.
Confucius A Humanist
Later in point of time, and in part
the disciple of Lao-tse, Confucius was
described by Dr. Hu as an educator,
reformer and humanist. Unlike the
destructive conceptions of Lao-tse,
the teachings of Confucius were
marked by a profound historical-
mindedness. He clearly saw the im-
possibility of returning to the blissful
natural state advocated by his pre-
decessor, and, according to Dr. Hu,
believed that government is primarily
an organ for moral rectification. Con-
fucius proclaimed the need for an
aristocratic ruling class, which would
practice economy and love the people.
But Confucius recognized, Dr.Hu
stated, that intellectual rectification
must be the basis for political and
moral rectification.
The great contribution of Confu-
cius, in the opinion of Dr. Hu, was
the application of this rectifying
principle to language and names. This
passion for realism, nominalism,
fought out in China long before it
was in Europe, became the basis for
Chinese philosophical and political
