headline relevant to the appearance of Dr. Walter udd on the campus Tuesday and Wednesday Hi talks deserved some such recognition.
with clipped words and machine-gurapidity, this world traveler and medical
missionary to China made inadequate audiences
in Memorial hall "take it" while he bombarded
uiih facts and figures - concerning the suicidal
and determining part this country is playing in
the disintegration of China. Whether you agreed
uith him or not and it's difficult to justify any
disagreement with his basic principles his force
( deliver
and masterv of subject gave word-wea- r
convocation, habitues a new lease on life.
In stressing the necessity for knowing what's
a point stressed so heart-i- h
going on in the world
bv manv of our better speakers that it may
penetrate Doctor Judd touched a
tulncrable spot in the American's armor. Sensational exposes of World War atrocity stories
and propaganda have led the present generation
10 place tongue in cheek when told any story of
unsavorv action. "It must be propaganda," they
sav. "It was in the last war." It's a safer attitude
than blind gullibility, but it's not an intelligent
attitude when the truth of the unsavory is substantiated bv government documents and eyewitnesses.
F.sKx;iall
has this incredulity been apparent
in our treatment of savage atrocities committed
bv the Japanese. Even more important and at
the same time subject to remedy has been our
ignorance as to the part we play in the slaughter
of China and in darkening our own future. It
is the ignorance which. Doctor Judd says, sends
him home as a missionary to his own peof)le.
In the last six months of the Chino-Japaneswar. 70 to 80 percent of all Japanese imports
have (lowed from the I'nited States. One of the
greatest of these import items is raw cotton, a
staple which Japan hopes to develop in China
when it is "beaten to its knees." In simple language. f)i. country is helping Japan defeat
China so Japan can heenme somewhat selfsuf-ftent and eliminate her imports from us. We
stand to lose eventually noi only Japanese trade
but also that of China as long as we continue to
aid the island people.
I he missionary liclieves that Japan is so
upon this country, especially since the
outbreak of the European war, that only a firm
threat of cessation of trade is needed to bring
the apanese military clique to a halt. Certainly,
he adds, we need fear no war because if Japan
with our aid cannot defeat China, she would find
it even more difficult to defeat China and the
I'nited States without our raw materials.
The recent abrogation of our trade treaty
with apan now leaves the way open to possible
action. If the people so will it. Congress and the
president will act.

lor several ears now, students have been
aware of certain petty jealousies existing among
colleges and departments of the University. But,
of thr somewhat comforting opinion that
"alter all, professors are onlv human," the large
majority of undergraduates simply let the matter
go at thai. T hese rivalries, though amusing, have
never Uen regarded by undergraduates as presenting anv serious obsiades to academic progress. I hev were regarded merely as something
which "existed" in every faculty of every university in the laud.
However, recent statements by eduiaiioual
leaders give one the impression that such conditions represent something more than surface pettiness; in many cases they are symptoms of
which go even deeper into our present collegiate system. Dr. Paul P. Boyd, dean
ol the University's arts and sciences college, writing in the Southern Fducational Association's
Ouarierly for August. 1939. summed up the situation thus:
"Our conservatism, the inertia that so often
si t tiis to go with the burning of the midnight
let tri it v. our interest in subject matter to the

innocence of any intelligent philosophy of education, and our ignorance of the compelling philosophy ol education, and our ignorance
