High School Room. The following were absent from school Monday: Leslie Strong, Roberta Bush, Olive Beckwith. Some say it was due to too much turkey, others say to a little striped animal. Earl Farr, a former student, spent Monday and Tuesday visiting friends in our room. The sophomores have begun the study of the classic "As You Like It” a Shakesperian play. The freshmen have begun the study of that old classic “Lady of the Lake” by Scott. In Latin, the freshmen are learn ing how to form adverbs from ad jectives. The sophomores gave a party in honor of the freshmen last Wednes day evening at the home of Merrill Allen. Several alumni were pres ent: Lucille Lowery, Dorothy Sealer and Arthur Dailey. Games were played after which a lunch consisting of salad, cookies and cocoa, was served. A good time was reported by all who attended. Our school is practicing an oper etta which will be given December 22 at O’Connor hall. Wayne Bates was caught shoot ing a paper wad. W’ayne was de tained after school and was set to work rolling a paper wad around on the floor with his nose. Rather hard on the nose, wasn’t it, Wayne? Visitors are appreciated by the High School any old time. Instead of listening to gossips about us come and see for yourself. The geometry class is laboring on a new proposition dealing with inequalities of lines. We had Thursday and Friday of last week for Thanksgiving vaca tion. Economic HitfhliKhts The three great Pacific powers— the United States, Great Britain and Japan—are at present involved in a complicated embroglio, with counter-plots, cjuiet diplomacy and plain ordinary hard-feelings dom inating the proceedings, and with the chance of armed conflict in the offing. As Raymond Leslie Buell recent ly pointed out in a feature article in the New York Times, the three power navy discussions, now going on in London, have reached an im passe because of disagreement over three vital issues: First, the military question, in volving Japan's demand, for naval parity with Great Britain and Am erica (the present ratio is 5-5-3, with Nippon on the short end); Second, the political question, in volving Japan’s ambition to expand into Asia; Third, the commercial question, involving the expansion of Japan ese foreign trade, at the expense of England and the United States. Japan has flatly refused, to con tinue the existing naval ratio— she demands parity and threatens to sign no more treaties, when the present one runs out in 1936, un leas it is given her. Both England and the U. S. are afraid to agree to parity—yet each nation knows that if Japan starts to build ships, undeterred by treaties, they will have to follow. The result would be a gigantie naval race, costing hundreds of millions of dollars, and increasing the chances for war. Once a nation newly develops a first-class naval or military mach ine, it is inevitably eager to try it out on some adversary. As for the second issue, Japan’s desire to take over part of Asia may be explained in two words: Iron; oil. No nation can be a major power without these commercial land military essentials, and Japan at present must obtain all her steel and oil from abroad. If she could control the great undeveloped iron mines and oil fields of Manchuria she would be in a much stronger and safer position. It is also com monly believed that Japan needs new territory in order to provide ! room for her people—she is vastly | overpopulated at present. How-: I ever, the Japanese are poor colon-1 izers—they seem to possess little pioneering instinct. For example, j some years ago Japanese officials made a determined effort to send emigrants to Korea. They offered i substantial payment, both in land and in cash, to those who would go. Yet only a handful of the underfed, underpaid, overworked Japanese peasants were willing to take on the job. As a result, it seems cer tain that colonization is a compar atively small item in Nippon’s am bition to move eastward. The third issue, that of commerce, is one of the most irksome. It’s a well known fact that the Japanese are poor innovators—but magnific-, ent imitators. If someone starts manufacturing a product in a wes tern country, the Japanese are us ually able to produce a competitive I product, as good or almost as good, at a faction of the price. Between 1931 and 1933, Japan increased her world exports of rayon yarn by 322 per cent; her exports of woolen yarn by 514 per eent; her exports | of woolen piece goods by 788 per ' cent. In addition, she is sending other products into the world wark j et, to be sold at prices American and English manufacturers cannot : meet. This is partly due to Jap anese efficiency—and largely due to I low wages, depreciation of the yen and long working hours. The Jap anese worker puts in between 55 and 00 hours a week—all major industries have been formed in car tels and trtists, to lower costs. It seems certain that a trade war will develop before long—already both England and the United States have put up tariff barriers to les sen imports of certain Japanese I j products. However, Japan is a pood i j customer of both countries—and it | ; is obvious that if her exports are j ! cut off, she will retaliate by reduc- j inp her imports. That is the Pacific question as it I new stands, and. all the disagree i ments in London over the naval I treaty revolve around these three issues. It is an important fact that, under Japan’s form of government, the army and navy are not subject to the control of the Diet—they are responsible solely to the “Son of Heaven," Japan’s much-beloved young Emperor. Thus, it would be possible for Japansese government officials to talk resoundingly in fav or of world peace—while Japanese troops and ships set out for war.
