Missionary decries
America's betrayal
of Chinese trust
"Silk stockings or your sons" is
the choice Dr. Walter Judd, med
ical missionary to China, offered
to the women of America aa the
sacrifice they will have to make
to the war in the Far East The
choice is an inevitable one, he said
"Tne women of America can
stop the war in three months,"
declared Dr. Judd. He cautioned
the women by stating that if they
would nto put a stop to the war
now by abandoning silk stockings,
they would pay later with the lives
of their sons. "If you must have
one, there is no use crying over the
other," he said.
By reviewing America's connec
tion with China in the past, pres
ent and future, Dr. Judd gave evi
dence to show how deeply con
cerned the people of this country
should .be about the outcome of
China against Japan's militarism
"a machine which we invented."
Dr. Judd held America's be
trayal of China's trust in her to be
greatly responsible for the state of
Chinese affairs today. He stated
that the American people are gen
erally against the Japanese in the
war question, yet it is the assist
ance of. this country mat is max
Ins .ipan powerful. Chnicle.

13 2-cent stamps
only a cent and a
quartcr-'P.O. ad.
Plavinc post office may be fun
for some people, but playing post
man for 6,000 students is hard
work. Figures show that mail in
winter months is heaviest and that
with zero temperatures mailmen's
feet get coldest.
Six thousand (Nebraska stu
dents) x 3 (letters per student per
week) equals capacity stuffed
mailbags for the mailmen to tote
around on aching backs and cold
feet. Because many college men
room off the campus, men in the
postoffice get to know the college
women better. Just Doys ana
"steady" boys might be surprised
to know the large number of let
ters in men's handwriting which
arrives at sorority houses each day
and .then how quickly replies are
sent back.
A large number of students get
catalogs from mail order houses
which goes to prove that distance
has glamour. Altho penny post
cards in large numbers pass thru
the mailmen's hands, they do not
live up to the tradition of reading
them stating, "what do we care if
Joan has a cold, is doing a lot of
studying, and wants a check?"
When purchasing stamps, there
are still students who want to
know if there's a special on stamps
to which the reply might be, "13
two cent stamps for a cent and
a quarter."
