Russia to Stage Return War
Noted Commentator
Discusses World News
By Ellsworth Steele.
A lithe figure in a light brown
suit, the man with the famous
"Philco and I say to you" voice,
raised hotel windows and adjusted
furniture as he prepared to an
swer questions on foreign policy
and free speech. Boake Carter,
radio commentator, and newspa
per columnist, delayed writing his
daily column to give five or six
minutes to the Daily Nebraskan
reporter.
"The present Sino-Japancse war
is but a prelude to a return en
gagement of the Russo-Japanese
war," said Carter, clipping off
his words. Russia is trying, has
been trying for years, to com
munize China. The Japanese are
fighting to establish a buffer state
between them and P.us.iia. If you'll
read Theodore Roosevelt you'll
find that he said that Russia and
Japan would fight it out again."
The rumor that Morgan money
is financing the Japanese in their
invasion Boake Carter ridiculed,
pointing out the tremendous cost
of the war and asking "Where
would Morgan get it?"
"I- is still going on," stated the
ex-radio commentator when quized
as to the rumored campaign oi
education for war. "They clamped
down on me. That is one reason
why I'm lecturing. We still have
free debate and free discussion on
the platform."
Anglo-American Understanding.
Carter expressed doubt as to the
existence of an Anglo-American j the morning there will also be nn
naval understanding, but asserted ; operative technique display in

for years, because "Britain is un- Dental college alumni will attend

Pep Plus Sophistication.
"I like to look up to my men,"
says Frances Boldman. "I'd want
him to be able to wear a size 36
or 38 uniform. That implies that
his physique would be practically
perfect correct height, broad
shoulders, small hips, etc. My
greatest demand would be for per

"What would Thomas Mann

Carter. "Fight them." he answered
his own question. "We go out to
