China, Japan,
Or Isolation?
It seems that Japan and China are having
difficulties in spite of all the scraps of pnpr
that have been signed to prevent them. In
1928, the Briand-Kellogg pact declared that
"the high contracting parties solemnly declare
. . . that they condemn recourse to war for the
solution of international controversy." The
signatory nations further agreed that settle
ments of all disputes or conflicts "shall never
be sought except by pacific means." It did no
good.
In 1922, the nine power pact, as sinned
both by Japan and China as well as the United
States and Britain, provided that, all the signa
tories would respect the sovereignty, inde
pendence, and territorial and administrative
integrity of China, That one made a nice
bonfire.
- The five power naval pact, which limited
the size of the navies of the world's powers,
was denounced by Japan in 1934 and probably
became- good confetti.

States in dealing with this international pow
der keg?
L. Allison, Graduate college:
"I am in favor of President Roosevelt s
policy. That is, to state his position as strongly
as possible, without endangering us or draw
ing us into the difficulties.
- "His policy is somewhat like that of
Teddy Roosevelt, only instead of using a big
stick, he uses a big megaphone.
"Apoarentlr. the svnmathies of the ma.
ioritv are with China. For this rMnn
should hate to discriminate against that nation
by applying the present neutrality act. which
mases international trade with belligerent na
tions possible only on a cash and carry basis.
Since China hasn't the merchant marine nec
essary for such trade, the strict enforcement
of that act would be very unfavorable to her.
"It is about time, tho, that somebody stif
fens their backbone or there will soon cease to
I
he even a semblance of international order."
Jack Pinion, Bizad senior:
"Since I was in both Hawaii and South
America this past summer with the merchant
marine, I can readily understand the problems
that a strict enforcement of the neutrality act
would bring up.
"I feci that Japan can be successfully
boycotted, if the nations of the world co-operate.
Jly sentiments, however, are with neither.
I don't feel particularly sorry for China she
has so many people, and so many national re
sources, and these, together with the aid of
Russia, should enable her to take very ade
quate care of herself.
"According to my opinion, the United
States should stay completely out of it. The
neutrality act should be strictly enforced if
that is not done, we're bound to be drawn into
the trouble. Even then, international trade is
so interwoven that we could probably not
avoid any major conflict. The international
situation is really ticklish."
Wendell Stevenson, Arts and Sciences senior:
"I doubt if the United States can stay
out of it. It is their duty as a world power to
do what they can to stop it, and they can do
it, with the aid of England and the other great
nations.
"It seems that neutrality is impossible.
I'm not saying that Japan is right, but she does
not seem to be doing any more than the other
world powers have. England's colonial em
pire was built that way, and it seems that the
United States took their share by force.
"As a Japanese missionary told me, the
people of Japan have watched the great na
tions of the world play poker with the tcrrilory
of the globe until they had cleaned out all the
lesser powers. Now that they have done that,
they want to stop that game and play tiddlc-de-v,
inks. But Japan, for so long an observer,
now wants to have the opportunity to play
some poker."
R. W. Brebner, Graduate college :
"We ought to keep out entirely. There
should be no shipments of armaments. Our
citizens should be removed from the danger
rone, and those who want to stay may do so
at their own risk. We must assume no re
sponsibility for the protection of financial in
terests in foreign countries, China or any
where else.
"We should stop all trade, unless it can
be carried on without risk to the nation's
peace. If individuals and companies want to
trade with belligerents, let them, at their own
risk.
"The lives of the common people arc too
valuable to be sacrificed for the financial tains
of the wealthy."
Bill Moores, Bizad freshman:
"We should stay as far away from that
mess as we possibly can. We could be decent
to both siiles, but you know what happened the
last time we tried that."
William Craft, Iw college freshman:
"We should, with England and France,
take a stand against Japan, and be ready and
willing to back it up, even tho it means war."

W Mar'orie Churchill
Italy: World's Problem
Child.
Franco-British forces may find
occasion to carry out their threat
of opening the Franco-Spanish
border to troops should Italy re
fuse to withdraw volunteers. Italy
shows no intention of doing any
thing of the sort. Skepticism as to
the "peace" motive of the Hitler
Mussolini conclave soems well
founded. Chief result of the con
ference seems to have been a lin
ing up of German forces on the
side of il duce. Italy, confident of
der fuehrer's support, flatly re
fuses to remove troops, declares
she "will not participate in con
ferences to which Germany has not
been invited." That the friendship
rests on shaky foundations how
ever, is a matter of common
knowledge. With both of them
casting a wary eye on Austria, any
false move may see a definite split.
The friendship will last as long as
it is advantageous for them to re
main friends.
Italy also makes no pretenses
about her stand in the Sino-Japa-
nese question. She will "never
spare general support to Japan."
Any move made by the nine power
conference toward settlement of
the far eastern crisis will face op
position from every force which il
duce can muster. Germany's sup
port in such instances is improb
ab'.c. But the appalling mass of
complications which are bound to
arise no matter what stand is
taken are sufficient to give pause
to any hasty move. The Sino-Japa-nese
conflict is decidedly not their
own war and thinking people will
hesitate long before taking steps
which will lead to a holocaust in
volving many nations.

Quarantine Does II
Mean Exposure?
President Roosevelt's stand In
the question of United States' par
ticipation arouses speculation as to
how much is implied in the pro
posed -quarantine" to what
lengths he proposes to go. "Moral
suasion" becomes a meaningless
phrase in the face of attempt after
attempt by individual nations and
by the league, all of which have
brought nothing other than flat
refusals from Japan to cooperate.
Yet enforcement of an actual
quarantine, with its accompanying
involving of men and arms, leads
