"If Japan had ceased her military advance
when she had taken Manchuria,
she would perhaps have beer succ<?dsful,
for there she had no ozonized
resistance and was endangering only
Chinese lives. But when she advanced
against Shanghai she began stepping
on the toes of the other nations, and
the affair assumed a more serious aspect.
"In her initial attack of the Chinese
port, Japan figured that she could

! Intervene
sections of the city, converting it into
a Japanese port. In her desire to accomplish
this end she was partly motivated
by a feeling of resentment because
China has never established a
Japanese concession in the city as she
has for the other nations.
The Chinese are fighting with their
backs to the wall and will not surrender
Shanghai. The Japs cannot
gracefully withdraw now and will continue
their bluff until forced to come
to terms by the League of Nations.
Now as to the present status of
Manchuria. In theory it still belongs
to China, but actually it is under the
control of the Japanese military government.
I believe that in the final
terms of arbitration Japan will be al- I
lowed to retain Manchuria. J
The vandalism of the Japanese was I
clearly demonstrated in their destruction
of the Commercial Press. This
printing establishment on the outskirts
of Shanghai was the largest in
the world and printed 75% of the
Chinese text books. Very serious indeed,"
Rawlinson concluded, "was the
destruction of many priceless old
Chinese manuscripts."
Constantine P. Olenick
The present Sino-Japanese situa-1
tion," Olenick opined, "is due to
two fundamental causes: The economic
and imperialistic jealousy between
the two nations, especially on
Japan s part, and the intense race
hatred existing between these two
representatives of the Mongolian race.
This hatred, which is a vital factor, is,
however, subordinate to the economic
factors.
Japan has a population of sixty-1
five million people with insufficient
area and resources to support this
population. She must expand. China
has vast areas and her resources are I
superior in every way to those of I
Japan. Manchuria, alome, with her
vast coal and mineral resources has
an area as great as that of Japan.
Looking back over the history of the I
two nations, we see that trouble in the
strife for possessions has been of frequent
occurrence. Japan followed
much the same tactics she is now pur-1
suing in the taking of Formosa and
Korea from China.
"It is true, however that the inhabitants
of Formosa were benefitted
by Japanese rule, which cleared up the
banditry of the territory. Should I
such results be produced by Japanese
rule in Manchuria, it might actually
be a good thing for the Manchurian
people for Japan to acquire permanent
control of the province. If the opendoor
policy among nations of the East
is to be maintained, I favor letting the
Japanese remain in Manchuria.
"The League of Nations will settle
the present situation. China will never I
officially declare war. This is not
the cause for the next great war, but
is merely a purely local difficulty be- I
tween the two nations involved and
provides no cause for undue excitement.
It is my opinion that after the
final settlement, Manchuria will be an
independent state under the protectorate
of Japan/'

wars, Skull and Bones of the Medical
College of Virginia publishes an
editorial concerning Robert E. Lee
as a hero of peace. The medical student
s description of war is a graphic
orgy of bones and blood. "Today,"
he writes, "with nations still ready to
seek blood, still willing to give up
human beings for land and principle,
we need this memory of Robert E.
Lee." We only wish he could speak

Slumber Of T

The eleven o'clock quiet of tenement
two was suddenly broken by the
shrill pealing of the telephone. No
one moved to answer it. The clamor
continued for some five minutes before
anyone answered it.
The tenement end of the conversation
is negligible. The other end is
far more interesting and is as follows:
"Hello, Tenement two, may I speak
to Dennis ? He's not there?
Well, let me speak to Bob .
You say he broke his leg and they had
to shoot him?"
"Well, who are you? Is that so?
Someone told me something you said.
I'm not gonna tell you. Oh, all right,
he said you said you didn't know me.
That's rtot so and you know it, 'cause
I've called you up lots of times before.

Old man Dc Pression seems finally
to have crept into the holy of holies of
South Carolina?the pockets of her
youth. On every side one hears students
and otherwise pitifully declar-1
ing their state of insolvency. There I
is heard, "No I can't go. I'm broke!"
or "You'll have to wait for my dues.
Dad hasn't sent my check and I
haven't a cent."
This great slump in the finances of
the Carolina scholars will be fatal to
the hopes of many of the sorority and I
fraternity pledges. Few of those who 1
became affiliated with these organizations
last fall will become members,
the price of initiation being prohibitive
to most.
But, even in the face of these financial
stringencies, the spirit of Carolina
still flourishes and the students
continue gaily on their chosen ways.

Henry McManus has been confined
for some time with an ankle injury received

was set last Tuesday and is now
rapidly improving. C. W. Davis is in I
with a fractured arm which was also
put in a cast Tuesday. Ed Giles was

a minor wrist injury. !
Walker Yonce, G. T. Daniel, Lorraine

during the week with minor
illnesses, chiefly due to the changeable I
weather.

On Quakes
Professor Of Geology Tells Interestingly
Of Santiago Quake
In Article
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
tific organizations in the United States
and it is considered a major honor to
be asked to write an article for them.
Dr. Taber was at Guantanamo
Naval Station near Santiago during
the recent earthquake and flew over
the stricken city the morning of the
quake. He is one of the leading authorities
on earthquakes of the region
and has just surveyed the damage
caused by the'earthquake.
"A very deep trough in the ocean's ,
bed, callcd Bartlett Deep, lies between ,
Cuba and Jamaica and on both sides
of it earthquakes occur along the precipitous
slopes that descend into it. ]
It would require detailed work to locate
the fault along which the recent :
earthquake originated and since the
shock was not of very high intensity
there may be no visible displacement
at the surface," Dr. Taber writes.
"The earthquake has been followed ,
by many aftershocks. I counted j
twenty during the half hour following ,
the initial - disturbance which lasted i
over ope minute. More aftershocks
are to be expected but they will prob- |
ably decrease gradually in frequency <
and intensity. (
"A hasty examination of the city i
since shows many buildings cracked,
some dangerously, but very few walls I
have been thrown down, except nar- i
row partitioning walls.
"The damage to property has been !
estimated at about five million dol- '
lars. The effect was greatest near the 1
waterfront. It is fortunate that the '
earthquake occurred at night for had 1
it come when the streets were
thronged with people the loss of life '
would have been much greater. I
"No deaths have been reported from '
points out of Santiago. Some slight \
damage has been reported from Bay- (
amo and other towns, but practically
all the damage was confined to Santi- j
ago, where nine were killed and three
injured.
"While it is impossible to predict, I
it is unlikely that the damage will be i
greatly increased by any shocks oc- I
curring in the near future," the geol- 1
ogist writes iti conclusion.

of rushing. My main objection to
lengthening the period is the additional
cost such a change would inflict on
the fraternity."
Louis Rosen, president of Phi B?t?
Delta: "It would be decidedly better
for the rushee, and equally as good for
the fraternity. By this extension of
rushing period the chapter would be
surer of getting men suitable for their
group."
Frampton Harper, vice-president of
Phi Kappa Sigma: "I believe it is t
good idea; it will enable new men to
become familiar with the fraternities/
and they will have longer to deliber- !
ate before joining one."
Clarence Meeks, president of Phi
Pi Phi: "I do not like it. It would be
of advantage to the freshmen, but not
to the fraternity if they could not \
pledge a new man until the second 1
semester. If there was a rule allow- '
ing the man to be initiated the same' |
semester he was pledged, I would like
it."
Wilbur Smith, president of PH
Sigma Kappa: "The proposed new j
method of rushing would more or less
hurt the fraternity financially, and for
that reason I am not in favor of it"
Troy Stokes, president of Pi Kappa
Alpha: "I am .in favor of the new plan j
for rushing. In some colleges they
allow a year to elapse before a man is 1
pledged. However, one semester is i
long enough. It has many good <
points and equally as many objections,
but I think it would be a good idea,
ana would like to see it put into effect."
Frank Bostick, president of Pi
Kappa Phi: "I do not approve of the
new plan. It would mean stretching
the rushing season over too long a '
period, and it would be more expensive
in the long run."
Bill Friar, president of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon: "Rushing is overemphasized '
on this campus. The new plan won Id
do away with a great deal of this feeling,
so I would gladly support it. 1
suggest there be no rushing for the
first two months of each semester in I
which length of time the freshmen can
look over the fraternities and rush
them in a mild sense of the word. I
do not like the present system of rushing."
James Morrison, president of
Sigma Chi: "The new plan would be
splendid. Tor many years I have advocated
such a movement. It will
save the man from a possible breaking
of his pledge if he should prove j
unworthy of the pledge pin. It is indeed
good both for the fraternity and
the man."
Eugene Cathcart, president of ;
Sigma Nu: "I heartily support the new
plan. Freshmen are usually ignorant
of fraternities when they first enter
the University, and it will give them
i good chance to know them, and will
jnable them to decide for themselves
just wh/t fraternity they would like
to be a member of."
James L. Moss, president of Sigma
Phi Epsilon: "I am in favor of a delayed
pledge day. The freshman is-J
too utterly unaware of just what fraternity
life is, and the new plan would
help him greatly in this manner." . j
Gene Rankin, president of Kappa
Alpha: "The present system cannot be
improved upon. I believe that the
new plan would be too expensiv? s
from the fraternity point of view; ft <
it is kept as at present, there will be 'j
no financial strain on the fraternity."
Sidney D. Abrams, president of
Phi Epsilon Pi: "I think a change to I
the new plan would be of great benefit
to the fraternity, and would giv?
the freshmen a longer period in which
to decide what fraternity he wishes to
ioin."
