Dr. T. Z. Koo Scheduled to
Talk Twice on East
War Muddle.
IS TOURING AMERICA
Chinese Peace Worker Has
Famous Disarmament
Work to Credit. .
Dr. T. Z. Koo, one of the fore
most fieures in the peace move
ments of today, will address a 12
o'clock luncheon meeting at the
Grand hotel Saturday. The sub
ject of his talk will be "The
Chinese Situation Today." At 3
o'clock that afternoon he will talk
to faculty members, alumni and
students at a meeting at Ellen
Smith hall. His subject for this
talk is as yet unannounced but it
will deal with the Chinese situa
tion.
As an authority upon foreign
student opinion and effort. Dr. Koo
is unrivaled. As vice chairman of
the World Student Christian Fed
eration, he was in a position where
he had much friendly contact with
the Japanese. He was one of the
leaders of a student group in
China which, working with a sim
ilar student group in Japan, sought
to influence their countries to a
peaceful settlement of their diffi
culties. Last fall, in this capacity,
Dr. Koo travelled back and foith
between China and Japan a great
deal.
Dr. Koo has said that he feels
that peace must come ultimately
through the work of small groups
within the nations. He believes
that dependence cannot be placed
upon international peace machin
ery alone. That is why he is so
interested in all student move
ments and for that reason he is
now touring the United States
speaking at different colleges.
Has Practical Knowledge.
As to practical economic experi
ence with conditions in China, Dr.
Koo is also well acquainted. For
nine years he served in railway
administration. This is one of the
major points of friction in Man
churia. Perhaps even more interest is
manifest in Mr. Koo's presence
here than in colleges in other parts
of the country aa he was directly
responsible in getting the Rocky
Mountain district of thj Y. M. C.
A., of which Nebraska is a part,
to send and support Lyman Hoover

PEACE PETITION IS HERE
Signers Indicate America
Willing: Help League
Stop Jap War.
Dr. Inez Celia Phllbrlck, of the
student health department, is cir
culating a petition initiated by the
League of Nations association. A
Lawrance Lowell, president of
Harvard university, is backing the
movement and sending out the pe
titlons.
Petitioners appeal to the presi
dent and congress to signify to the
League of Nations that the united
States will concur in any economic
measures the League may take to
restore peace. They advocate co
operating with the league in any
movement that will exert pressure
upon Japan's present aggressive
policy.
Chancellor Burnett and eighteen
faculty members had signed the
petition Thursday.

DISCUSSED BY HILL
Possibilities of Economic
Boycott and League's
Powers Stated.
Outlining the owers of the
League of Nations in dealing with
the far east dispute between Japan
and China, Norman L. Hill, associ
ate professor of political science,
addressed a large audience at the
First Plymouth Congregational
church Wednesday evening.
Mr. Hill stated that the league
had adequately dealt with a large
number of disputes in the past and
that they were capable of handling
this one. They have attempted to
conciliate the two countries, and
they now have a commission on
the way to Manchuria to investi
gate the situation. This act has
been authorized by article eleven
of the covenant.
"The League has several powers
they have not yet used, and among
them is that of economic boycott,"
he declared.
They have been very wise in not
applying this boycott for several
reasons, two of them are the fact
that it would aggravate the eco
nomic depression and that the
league should be sure of the situ
ation before taking such drastic
steps."
He supported his second reason
by declaring that it is not possible
for public opinion in the United
States to decide that Japan was
the main aggressor. "Nearly all of
the American people were sure
that Germany was the sole ag
gressor in the controversies that
resulted in the World war, but
they have since learned that they
were not," he said.
The political science instructor
explained that the league had been
working on a formula to define an
aggressive state for a long time
but had not yet accomplished it.
He admitted that the case looked
bad for Japan, but he stated that
he thot that public opinion should
not be valued too highly under
such conditions.
"I agree with Senator Borah,"
he said, "that hasty action is not
desirable and that an economic
boycott will probably lead to war."
BAPTISTS PLAN STUDIES

not in the country. That's why so

Dr. Adson also said wealthy
women bum themselves out, play

to parties in the evening. The
women who diet, he said, make a

stimulants to keep going.

Vogelcr Declares Inclusion
Arguments on Program
Quite Possible.
Interest in the proposed plan of
including debate in the intramural
program on the university campus
was evidenced in the results ob
tained from interviews with rep
resentative men, Thursday. Seek
ing the opinion and expression of
the various fraternities, the Daily
N-.braskan is printing a ballot in
today's issue to determine the
number of organiztions that are
interested in the project and are
willing to support such an activity.
The majority of the students in
terviewed agreed that there are a
number of individuals in almost
every organization that would be
interested in an intramural debate
program.
"There is a certain element in
school that would enjoy and profit
by such a program. Certain men
are interested in debate just as
others are interested in athletics.
Both groups should have an op
portunity to carry out their inter
ests," Dick Devereaux, Alpha Tau
Omega, asserted.
Rudy Vogeler, chairman of the
intramural sports, stated in an in
terview early in the week that de
bating as an intramural activity
was acceptable if there was a
great enough demand for it and if
there was enougn interest snown.
It could be established as one of
the intramurals through the in-

stated.
Express Favorable Views.
The value of forensic activity
was acknowledged by all of the
men. Learning how to organize
thoughts, coherent expressions
and the necessity to think on ones
feet, were some of the advantages
pointed out.

some men in every house who are
