fourth offering of the Summer' Ses-

Near one of the corners of Europe
at the start of the next war Sherwood
has gathered a handful of people in a
hotel lounge. It is Italian territory,
and the principal guests are civilians
who represent various points of view.
When war does break every one re-

courtesan and an American hoofer.
As the bombs fall around the hotel
they make small talk and conclude
the play with "Onward Christian Sol-

are the little people for whom the
deadliest weapns are the most merci-

Hayakawa Says Popular
Linguistic Naivete Can Be
Dispelled By Scholars
Definition Of Term

With the assertion that language
scholars lend their aid in the com-
batting of propaganda, Dr. S. I. Hay-
akawa of the University of Wisconsin
yesterday addressed the Linguistic
Institute regular luncheon conference
on the topic, "Propaganda and the
Linguist."
"Linguists," he declared, "need to
work out an easily comprehensible
process or method by which laymen
may learn just how their language
functions. They can do a great deal
of good by helping to dispel the
popular linguistic naivete which is the
prime aid of the propagandist."
Dr. Hayakawa prefaced his dis-
cussion by relating briefly the story
of the founding of the recently-or-
ganized Institute for Propaganda An-
alysis, the only organized effort in this
direction. This institution, he charged
makes the fundamental mistake of
assuming that there is always a sharp
distinction between emotion and ob-

further that every enotional appeal is

Flower Arrangenent Is Art
That Has Wide Effects,
Lecturer Says Here
The art of Japanese flower ar-
rangements and its many ramifica-
tions affecting both physical and
spiritual life were discussed by Dr.
Shio Sakanishi of the Division of
Orientalia of the Library of Congress
in an illustrated lecture in conjunc-
tion with the Institue of Far Eastern
Studies yesterday.
The art of flower arrangement, Dr.

16th century is no mere dilettante's

1. Ethics, for it defines man's re-
lation to man and nature.
2. Economics for it shows comfort
and beauty in simplicity.
3. Hygienic for it enforces clean-
liness and peace of mind and spirit.
4. Democratic for peasants, arti-
sans and nobles join in its apprecia-
tion.
Dr. Sakanishi traced the rise of the
art from the time of its inception by
Prince Shitoken, founder of Bud-
dihis, who so appreciated the beauty
of flowers that he arranged them
in seven vases corresponding to the
sun, moon, stars, earth, dawn and
man. Soon, however, Buddhist teach-
ings made people averse to cutting
flowers except for religious purposes.
Dr. Lockwood
Says Chinese
Will Triunmph
Morale Of Chinese People
Seen Deciding Factor
In Far Eastern Conflict
Disunion In Japan
Weakens Invaders
Strengthening of the forces of re-
action and disunion in Japan as a
result of the present Sino-Japanese
War will eventually lead to victory
for the Chinese people, Dr. William
W. Lockwood said at a luncheon at
the Union yesterday sponsored by
the Institute of Far Eastern Studies.
Dr. Lockwood, who is connected
with the Institute of Pacific Rela-
tions, declared that the morale of the
Chinese will be the deciding factor
in the war. The will to resist the
Japanese had been growing in China
for over a decade, but Dr. Lockwood
indicated that the policy of Chiang-
Kai-Shek had been one of conserva-
tism at home and compromise with
Japan. The sweep of popular senti-
ment, however, culminating in the
Sian coup a few years ago, made clear
to the Chinese leader the depth of the
feeling against Japan. The war it-
self has dissolved all regional, per-
sonal and class rivalries in China
and fused all into a unified national
front, Dr. Lockwood said.
In Japan, on the other hand, these
trends have been reversed. Japan
entered the war with a large gold
reserve, a flourishing export trade,
excelelnt credit rating and ample
supplies of all raw materials. Today
her gold reserves have been more
than halved, Dr. lockwood said, her
credit is nil, her supply of raw mater-
ials has almost been exhausted, and
her export trade has fallen off by
more than 20 per cent. Not only
are dissentions apparent between the
civilian and military forces at home
and between the army and the navy
in the field, but within the army it-
self, Dr. Lockwood said, such elements
as the Kwantung garrison, the North
China army and Central China army
are reported to be at variance with
each other.
Dr. Lockwood saw the war passing
through three stages. First is partial
Japanese military success in the field;
next will follow a shifting stalemate;
and ultimately, as Japan finds her-
self unable to pacify the districts
under her occupation while the Chi-
nese continue unified warfare else-
where, Japan will be forced to with-
draw her troops from Chinese soil.
Although, Dr. Lockwood saw the de-
vastation in China as unequalled
since the Tai Ping Rebellion, he said
that the war marked the beginning
of a new era in the Far East and
constituted one of the major turning
points of its entire history.

Anglo - French Friendship
Is Not Directed Against
Any Power, Ruler Says
Move Interpreted
As Reply To Fascists
PARIS, July 19-(")-The king of
England and the president of France
solemnly consecrated the defensive
military alliance between the two
great empire democracies at a state
banquet.
Replying to a welcome by President
Albert Le Brun, King George VI de-
lared "It would now be impossible to
recall a period in which our relations
were more intimate."
Attired in the uniform of a field
marshall, symbolic itself of the close
military ties between Britanand
France, the monarch declared that
the two nations had seen their des-
tinies "inevitably drawn together
with the passage of centuries."
The king spoke in French.
"Long and close collaboration has
succeeded in proving that we are in-
spired by the same ideal," he said.
'Similar Democratic Ideals'
"Our people have the same attach-
ment to democratic principles which
are best suited to their natural gen-
ius, and we have the same belief in
benefits of individual liberty.
"We are proud of this political
faith which we share with other
great nations. In the period in which
we live it demands from us all, to a
high degree, qualities of courage
wisdom and determination.
"At the same time there is nothing
exclusive in the understandng be-
tween us: our friendphip is directed
against no other -power.
"On the contrary, it is the ardent
desire of our governments to find, by
means 'of international agreements,
solution of those political problems
which threaten the peace of the world
and of those economic difficulties
which' restrict human well being."
The understanding was reached
near the end of April on a vist of
French ministers to London.
This was accepted by diplomats as
an obvious answer to German and
Italian efforts to separate Britain
from France. George's expression of
pride in democracy as a political
faith appeared virtually a reply to
Nazi and Fascist derision of demo-
cracy.
Le Brun, in his welcome speech,
stressed the point that the presence
of the British monarch "constitutes
the highest and most precious testi-
mony of the common will which forti-
fies each day the confident sympathy
of the two nations and the close col-
laboration of their representatives."
The president added:
"I am persuaded that your majesty
and your government will make every
effort, as I and the government of the
Republic have, to give this living
reality a brilliance, always more ac-
tive and more fruitful."
Both Le Brun and his royal visitor
were careful to state that the Franco-
British entente was directed at no
other nation.
Le Brun called the relationship a
"perfect entente between our two peo-
ples-an essential element of 'secur-
ity and peace for the greatest profit
of civilization and peace."

West Will Support Roosevelt
Third Term Bid, Martin Says
By CARL PETERSEN
The enthusiastic reception accord-
ed President Roosevelt on his recent
swing through the West indicates, in
the opinion of Prof. Charles E. Mar-
tin, head of the political science de-
partment of the University of Wash-
ington that should the President try
for a third term, the West will be
solidly behind him.
In regard to Westerners, Professor
Martin, here in conjunction with the
International Law Conference said,
recent action of the Westerners in-
dicates a substantial endorsement of
his policies.
"Being a Roosevelt, his future 1o-
litical conduct is unpredictable," Pro-
fessor Martin said. "One can expect
from him the breaking of any prece-
dent. It is my real belief, however,
that if he can retain control of the
Democratic party, and if he can select
the next standard bearer, he will be
satisfied to step aside because he will
have had eight years of stormy sea,
"If they're for a man,
If they're against him
they say so. Jand that ought to be enough for any
they say so. man."
After this tour, nothing could prevent
Professor Martin emphasized his
