The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter. one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

Japan Looks To America For Defense Against Reds
By KOJI SATO
The four divisions of American army, which had been occupying Japan, went to Korea, leaving Japan actually defenseless for a while after the outbreak of the war. Following it, the new Japanese National Police Reserve of 75,000 men was organized rapidly by the suggestion of Gen. MacArthur. Of course, this National Police Reserve is far from strong enough to defend the island country. However, this is said to become the nucleus of a new possible Japanese army when it may be formed in the future.
Now the rebuilding of the Japanese army to cooperate with the free nations is being discussed seriously in and outside Japan. Prime Minister Yoshida stated that Japan was ranged wholeheartedly on the side of the United Nations and that Japanese rearmament needs discreet handling as well as mature deliberation.
The countries, threatened by the possible invasion of Communism, are awaiting the early and large-scale mobilization of the United States. After the outbreak of the Korean war, the people in Asiatic countries have learned that a weak nation cannot tell when she might be attacked by Communists. They have also found Communists have a tremendous manpower in Asia.
Naturally the people of Japan, which is so close to Korea, Red China, and Russia, feel uneasy. Now Japan is entirely depending upon the American military power for her national defense. Therefore they are looking forward to the quick and strong mobilization of the United States.
The result of a poll of the Japanese people on a question whether to rearm Japan or not, conducted by the Asahi Press, one of Japan's largest papers, on Sept. 20, was as follows:
For rearmament 51%
Against rearmament 13%
Don't know 36%
However, the determination of the Japanese people to co-operate with the free powers is greatly influenced by the attitude of the American people to defend the free world. President Truman's statement that one of his goals was the establishment of military strength of about $3\frac{1}{2}$ million has encouraged the Japanese to a great extent.
We know that manpower plays an essential role especially in a war in Asia. Land forces are badly needed in the Orient.

KU Gentlemen
Yesteryears
(From the May 24,1915 issue of the UDK)
(An editorial which appeared on the front page of the UDK) K.U. men are gentlemen. They look with contempt on a publication which smears mud on a woman's name. They have no sympathy with the Sour Owl's attack on the reputation of University women. There is room here for a satirical outspoken publication, but not for an indecent one. The students will not tolerate a filthy Sour Owl any longer. The Sour Owl must clean up or leave.
Casting Completed
Casts have been filled for two one act plays, "Welsh Honeymoon" and "The Monkey's Paw," to be given by the Little theater for four nights from Tuesday, Feb. 27 through Friday, March 2.
