Hill Declares
India Next
Jap Objective
Weather, Internal Strife
To Afford Opportunity
For New Offensive
That India will be the object of
the next Japanese offensive is the
opinion expressed by Norman L.
Hill, professor of international af
fairs. "Warm weather and internal
disturbances in India are inviting
to the Japanese. An invading army
could expect stiff opposition from
the British but would find the
Hindus uncooperative but unop
posing. "Such an offensive in India
would have the advantage of slow
ing up production of war material
vital to the allies. Beside slowing

up production this move would cut
off the transportation of goods
from India to China.
"If this maneuvering should be
successful China would be with
out aid from the allies except that
which could be obtained from
Russia.
"By extending their lines thru
Persia, Japan would be close
enough to the German army so
that exchange of equipment would
be possible. The military advan
tages of such an offensive are in
viting." Altho some commentators have
thought that Japan would rrove
next into Siberia, Mr. Hill, bel.tves
this too impractical because of the
unfavorable weather conditions.
The Russians are not planning to
encounter the Japanese in Siberia
for they have withdrawn many of
their troops from this sector.
The Japanese as well as the
Germans run their war with the
element of surprise as an effec
tive weapon. Therefore, Professor
Hill, says, it is impossible to be
certain of any military movements.

"It well might be that final reg

will eventually reach from 4,800

stated.

"Our parents, our country, and its
citizens are fighting for the very
things which we have access to
on this campus and are privileged
to enjoy.

cautioned Miss Weirich.
Mutt Stay in College.
Chancellor C. S. Boucher in his
speech to the freshmen also re
minded them that "we are per
mitted to remain in college only
because the government thinks
we can prepare ourselves better
for war time activity in future
years."
Both Dean T. J. Thompson and
Col. James Murphy urged the stu
dents to keep "their feet flat on
the ground and study in earnest."
"V'e are a cojntry at war," com
mented Colonel Murphy, "ani
when the time tomes for us to be
called, we will go; but until that
time we have a job to do and that
is to get the most we can from
our textbooks."
Maintain Activities.
The campus, while maintaining
war time schedules, will continue
to have the same extra-curricular
activities and all thpfun that goes
with them. Many of the frills will
be dropped, but the members of
the group were urged to adopt the
same spirit that has always been
characteristic of a Cornhusker.
Leading the freshmen in the
triumphant march were the red
skirted, white-bloused Tassels,
and the red-sweatered, cheering
Corn Cobs. The procession as
