Angelo, .Joseph x x x TLC Xifi 1 ziiff : 1933 years after the resignation has been handed in. This prevents any nation from doing any rash things, Hence, Japan may not be considered out ot' the League just because her delegates have withdrawn. Recently in l-Europe, much sentiment has been shown regarding this war. although not much sentiment is official. England favors an arms embargo of the Far East to stop the hostilities. Even though Eng- land favors this embargo it is doubtful whether any nation would adopt this plan. Arthur Brisbane recently said, There are three men who can restore world peace. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Japan's Mi- kado, and the Pope. In the first place, Roosevelt at the head of the most prosper- ous nation on earth, could set an example fc-r other nations. The Mikado with all his influence could recall his army from China. The Pope. the world's great- est statesman, can easily lead the minds of his millions along the channels ol! peace. Many of us wonder how it will end. VVill China remain the downtrodden. pity- ful giant of Asia, or will she arise. as nations have done before, and fight off this Japanese menace?

The government must be given the power to enforce as well as express' its decrees. The League of Nations has a very defi- nite place in the forward march of civili- zation. It is the result of years of effort toward the peace of the world. It is another great step in the forward march toward the light of real civilization. It will be the foundation for other move- ments which will follow and improve upon it. It is for us, the citizens of to- morrow, to learn its value and to give it the support which so great a work is de- serving. The general impression that we have ot the League of Nations is a hazy picture of a group of solemn faces, diplomats, en- gaged in eternal and pointless debate. VV:-3 fail to appreciate the real benefits of the organization. The League is the means of establishing friendly relation-- ships between nations and every effort made in the direction widens the scope of the average person's business activity. The high tariff, the embargo and other institutions for the prevention of interna- tional trade are the result of misunder- standings which may be easily cleared up and eliminated. The work of the League of Nations toward international good feel- ing will do much toward lowering the price on even the simplest commodities. The modern world with its improved trans- portation and communication is too small to allow its races to live together and the League of Nations is the instrument which will guide us toward that ideal. JOHN BARR JAPAN'S AGGRESSIVENESS Not long ago a new state was set up in Asia. This new state was called Man- chuckuo. At its head is Henry Pu Yi. former Chinese prince. One would na- turally ask, Wliere is this country? Was there a revolution? Who recognizes it? In answer to the first question. it is situated in northeastern China, in the Chinese province that was formerly called Manchuria. This state was conceived, set up, tby armed force! and recognized by Japan. The Chinese armies are large in number but they have no airplanes, the most use- ful instrument of common warfare. Even the men in the trenches, though possess- ing a great amount of courage, are inade- quately trained and supplied. Now let us. see the reaction of the Jap- anese people to the war. Not long ago, there appeared in a Boston daily a small article telling the public that the Social- ists of Japan a1'e not allowed to meet. All Socialists are not necessarily against the war, just because it has been the cus- tom of this party to preach peace, because even the Socialists themselves use armed force to attain their ends. So it must be that the reason these meetings are stop- ped is not because they are Socialists, but because they oppose wars of aggression. Floyd Gibbons while in Japan sent a cable that said, War fever at great. height. This shows that most of the people are in favor of the war. yet why do they put such small uuinbers who are against the war down? Are they afraid the people of Japan will rise against the government? Some newspapers and magazines claim that Japan's governmental policies arc es- tablished by the army, but since none of them can give satisfying proof. it is doubt- ful. The league committee of nineteen, who have been investigating this war for about one year, have recently announ- ced that Japan is unjustified in the inva- sion of China. It declared that Japan did have a. right to protect her interests and citizens in China, but it did not have a right to invade the Chinese te1'1'itory. Therefore, China is justified in trying to repel .lapan's invasion. As soon as the committee of nineteenis report was made known, Jap.1n's delegates to the Assem- biy in Geneva withdrew. under orders of the home government. This is not a re- signation, however. since the league's law says a nation may not resign until two PAGE FIFTICEN
