CAUSES OF FAR
EAST TROUBLES
Convocation Speaker Claims
Japanese Need More
Usable Land.
MANCHURIA DESIRABLE
Chinese Province Wealthy
In Natural Resources
Says Captain.
Capt. G. W. Spoerry. Instructor
in the military science department,
addressed Nebraska students on
the Sino-Japanese situation Thurs
day morning in an all-university
convocation, 11 o'clock, at the
Temple theater.
According to Captain Spoerry.
the rresent difficulty in the Far
Easl'is motivated by economic rea
sons. Japan is barely economically
self-sufficient, and for that reason
needs the resources of Manchuria
to supply her immediate needs. A
chart prepared by the speaker
showed that Japan would have to
terminate her silk industries and
use the soil for food production, in
order to provide enough food for
her inhabitants. As this cannot be
done. Japan is in need of much
territory for food production, and
also is in need of oil, iron, and
other manufacturing and domestic
necessities.
Captain Spoerry regards the re
cent Shanghai activities of Japan
as an attempt to distract the at
tention of foreign nations from the
true situation in Manchuria. He
believes that when a conference is
ultimately arranged Japan will of
fer as a compromise, her territory
in Shanghai in trade for certain
rights and privileges in Manchuria.
Start Bad Precedent.
The speaker pointed out that it
was possible that the other powers
would interfere but little in the
Japanese activities in Manchuria,
thus setting up a bad precedent,
and one that might be followed by
other nations. Captain Spoerry
pointed out that the United States
was morally obligated to prevent
the division of China through the
open door policy, founded in the
Washington conference, and va
rious treaty agreements, including
the nine-power pact and the Kel
logg pact. He does not. however,
believe that the United States will

Shortage of Food and Arable
Land Cause Japanese
To Invade China.
"Morality in national relations,
echo the condition of the stomach,"
according to J. E. Lawrence, edi
tor of the Lincoln Star and Jour
nalism instructor in the university.
International necessities grow out
of economic necessities, Lawrence
said to members of the foreign
study class In a talk on Manchuria
at First Plymouth Congregational
church Wednesday night.
People in Japan subsist on ap
proximately $1 a day, or on a
standard of 33 a month for ne
cessities and conveniences. Japan
with fourteen million acres of
arable land and with only 242
thousand squaie miles of territory,
equivalent to three rnidwestern
states, is supporting a population
of eighty-three million people, Mr.
Lawrence said.
In turning its eyes to Manchu
ria, Japan, he said, hoped to gain
a territory that is the equivalent
of Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Mis
souri and Illinois, marvclously rich
in natural resources, and which
now has eighty-one million acres
under cultivation.

Study o? Subject Valuable
Claims Dr. Alexander
At Convocation.
REVEALS ART OF LIVING
Philosophy has no apology to
make to those who point, smile
and lap thiir heads. Dr. Hartley
Burr Alexander, Scripps College
professor and former member of
the philosoohy department instruc
tional staff "here, said Thursday
morning speaking to a group of
faculty members and students in
Social Sciences auditorium at 11
o'clock.
In a "philosophy of philosophy,"
Dr. Alexander declared that only
the people who examine living pos
sibilities are philosophers. Others
go about their "practical" life of
action and realism killing possibil
ities. They do something quickly
and wait until afterwards to find
out what they are doing. The fear
of the philosophers is the fear of
making an irreparable mistake.
There is but one scale for
measuring life values, Dr. Alexan
der said. This is the scale of good
and bad. Man tends toward the
good. For everything there is a
better way and a worse way. The
philosopher dedicates his life to
the discovtiy of the better way.
This is human.
Should Estimate Possibilities.
Dr. Alexander doubts if those
who act for the sake of acting
without determining the possibili
ties this action may kill are hu
man. In justifying philosophy Dr.
Alexander declared that the hu
man race is being tried out in the
universe for only a limited time.
Therefore, it is vastly important
to see what it will accomplish in
this time. lr. the end there is only
one problem that counts: To dis
cover humanity to find out what
things are really worth living for.
This is tht object of philosophy.
The philosopher weighs values on
the scale ot good and bad. All the
rest is fan.Hacism.
Philosophy is well worth the de
votion of a lifetime. It is the study
of the greatest art the art of liv
ing, lie said in conclusion. Life is
the greatest drama. Men are the
actors. Benind the actors is the
author. Every man must have a
meta-physics of some sort. It may
be good and it may be bad. It is
worth while to tiy to make it
good. This is the job of the phil
osopher. BAPTISTS HAVE MEETING
Sunday Evening Program

HUBER
SUBMITS
PLANS TO START
Head of Debating Society
Believes Interest Is
Sufficient.
FAVORS DECISION IDEA
Should Use Campus Topics
To Draw Interest,
He Thinks.
Enough Interest has been shown
to warrant the launching of intra
mural debate into a program is the
opinion of Walter Huber, Law col
lege senior, and president of Del
ta Sigma Rho, national debate
honorary. The Daily Nebraskan
has been attempting to feel out
campus opinion for the past week
and the results have indicated that
several organizations are espe
cially interested in the proposed
activity.
"I believe that we should start
out with those organizations that
have shown interest in the project
and complete the details that must
be arranged. To insure co-operation
I do not believe in forcing
and groups that do not care to
participate in the activity, into
the round robin league," said
Huber.
Delta Sigma Rho. national de
bating fraternity, is to hold a
meeting next Tuesday night at
7:30 in U hall, room 106. to devise
a system of judging and pairing
of the competitors. Edwin J.
Faulkner, chairman for the inves
tigation committee for intramural
debating is to make a report. Carl
Marold, chairman of the commit
tee for backing intracollegiate de
bating, and Earl Fishbaugh, the
chairman of the membership com
mittee, will likewise make reports.
Varsity Debaters Barred.
"Delta Sigma Rho should go for
ward and work out a program in
which a popular issue will be the
subject for debate. I believe that
varsity debaters should not be al
lowed to participate in intramural
debating so that those with little
or no experience will be encour
aged to come out" declared Huber.
The debates should be decision
debates, according to Huber. The
judges should be picked from the
faculty or from former debaters

Judge Ramsey Settles Case
Between Engineers
And Lawyers.
GREEN HAT PRESENTED
Attorneys Hive Consolation
Lid to Opponents:
Jury Is Hung.
"The verdict of the court goes to
the engineers: the brown derby to
the laws," was the decision of Ray
Ramsey, alumni secretary, who
presided as judge over the joint
convocation of the Law and En
gineering colleges Thursday night.
A green derby was presented by
Robert Young in behalf of the
fieshman class of the Law school
to the engineers.
Ralph Rogers, fieshman in the
Law school, in his argument for
the plaintiffs established the fact
that Saint Patrick is the patron
saint of the ergineering profession
ami therefore, since the color of
Saint Patrick is green, that brown
was not r. suitable hue lor a tro
phy for the Engineering college.
A jury composed of six law
students and six engineers failed
to reach a verdict because of a six
to six deadlock. The deans of the
two colleges were called upon to
impartially give their decisions.
This likewise ended in a deadlock,
each dean voting for his college.
The final decision that settled the
resting place of the famous lid.
was made by hi3 honor, Mr.
Ramsey.
Counsels Present Cases.
Counsels for the defense were
John Adair, senior chemical en
gineer and Calmar Reedy, senior
civil engineer. Attorneys for the
plaintiffs were Earl Fishbaugh.
junior in the Law school and
Ralph Rogers, freshman.
The first speaker, Mr. Fish
baugh. contended that law was the
nobler of the two professions. His
speech was largely alligoi ical in
nature.
John Adair, first speaker for
the defense, disputed the argu
ments of the previous speaker and
claimed that the laurels rested
with the engineering profession.
Ralph Rogers, law, traced the
history of the "brown derby" and
advanced arguments that substan
tiated the law's claim to the hat.
Rogers pointed out the fact that
the Earl of Derby, from whom the
bowler gets its name, was a law
yer. Brown being the color of the
legal profession and green the
color of the engineering profes
sion, due to Saint Patrick, the
freshman law argued, was reason
for deciding that the brown derby
return to the laws.

speaker, advanced the claims of
the engineers to the derby and
