PAGE TWG UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1909 Kansan Will Reprimand Be Retroactive? Abrogation of this country's 1911 Treaty of Amity and Commerce with Japan, which takes effect January 26, has the general effect of a rebuke to the smaller country. The reprimand of course is directed towards the aggressive war which Japan is waging in China. That such a reprimand is a little late is obvious. The primary concern is whether or not the United States stands to lose or gain by ending the treaty. Neither should it be overlooked that the abrogation provides a strong spring-board from which action can be urged on the pending embargo proposal against Japan. Purely from a practical economic view, the United States has much to lose in cutting off trade with Japan. The insular empire is our third best customer, ranking next to Great Britain and Canada. San Francisco and Los Angeles are the cities with the most at stake. From Los Angeles alone, exports to Japan last year were more than forty-five million dollars worth of good, more than the combined total exported to England, the Philippines, Russia, Australia, the Dutch West Indies, Canada (by water only) and Chile. Major raw products exported to Japan are cotton and oil. Close to one-half of Japan's supply of raw cotton comes from the American market while approximately 40 per cent of this country's exported petroleum goes to Japan. On the receiving end of the exchange, the United States takes about half of the total import from Japan in raw silk. Announced abrogation of the treaty in 1940 has set Japan on a successful quest for other markets. New trade agreements have been concluded with France, Australia, and the Dutch East Indies, and the existent trade treaty with India has been strengthened. Direct competition with the United States for the Japanese market in cotton and oil has been keen for some time. Although Japan has preferred the longer-fibered American cotton, this preference does not mean that the United States has a corner on the world's supply. Japan would have more difficulty in purchasing oil elsewhere. Significant is the attitude of the British who have in China economic interests which are six times greater than those of the United States. The British government has not terminated its trade agreement with Japan although England has lost far more in prestige and commercial restrictions in China than this country. Japan justifies its war in China on the basis of problems peculiar to its own culture and economy. For the United States to venture semi-punitive measures against Japan at this late hour seems only to cut off the American nose to save the British face. --- Women And War No place in the world is the change in feminine status more evident than in the woman's role in modern warfare. Before the World War, the fair sex was content to remain in the home and to leave the sordid business struggle to the male. But by the time the Armistice was pledged, women held positions of responsibility in nearly every line of industry. With a few exceptions among the stronger sex, the work of women during the war was greatly appreciated. While European women had been going to the fields and factories for centuries in an effort to feed and clothe their men of battle, 1917 really initiated the American housewife's venture into the business field. Inexperienced though she was, American womanhood carried on nobly and soon had overtaken and passed her sisters over the sea. Today European dames and damseles are outdoing their predecessors in past wars. British, French, and German women are assuming the handling of air raid defenses, a maneuver that was hardly necessary twenty-five years ago. It is their duty, also, to see that everyone is properly sheltered when the siren sounds Afterward they can transform themselves into a hospital corps if necessary. The women of France are outdoing their contemporaries of England and Germany. More than one hundred and fifty women are seeing service as pilots behind the lines in France. Service is being rendered by a corps of two hundred parachutic nurses. Another French innovation is a bicycle brigade of five hundred women to act as messengers. The implications postulated in these new fields of endeavor for the eternal female are endless. Never again will the battle field lack the woman's touch. Certainly they are threatening a sphere which once was wholly man's. Is it possible that the world will see the day when an army of modern Amazons will take the field led by a General Susan Brown? --- Game hunters in Germany are now paid their expenses and a day-rate when they go out for a rabbit or duck—provided, of course, that the game goes into the State food supply. No rate is quoted on potting an odd Ally or two. Comment YOU SAID IT EDITOR'S NOTE. The editors are not responsible (or opinions or facts given in the letters published in this edulum).

School Spirit Not Dead Editor Daily Kansan: This is just to let "Disgruntled" in on a little secret; if he wants to hear 4,000 madly cheerful fans for a much hard-fighting Kansas team this week-end, he must get him to watch the four-hour and four-thirty p.m. this Saturday. We'll give him Paul Christian and the rest of the Missourians enough noise to keep the whole lot out of our territory for a while. I'm betty' on the K.U. students to show "Disgruntled" that he'd better think twice before he writes any more letters like the last one. If school spirit has to do with winning, the Tigers won't have a show-in. A PROPHET. Symphony and Culture Tuesday afternoon the University Symphony or orchestra played to an appreciative and enthusiastic audience of Lawrence school children. Judging from some of the remarks made during and after the concert, they seemed to unhappy about coming. They even interrupted the piano number in the Carnival Set with applause. The program notes seemed to please the children. Portion notes should have been given the mini crush of information about what was being sent in simple one syllable term. It was too much to express that a University student would understand the meaning. Were it only for its performances before children could be invulnerable but it has another and equal task, that of helping to the student body and to friends of the University. The friends did not right but where were the students? How can one make sure that full understanding of it. No one has any right to erotic performance who lacks an elementary knowledge of the human body has watched through long hours of patient rehearsal and has seen the minute attention to every detail in it. The University would be complete without an orchestra, both to provide its own members with training, and to take its part in the cultural life of the University and in the community.

"We want to have a group of women pilots who can be useful under war or any other emergency to relieve the active men pilots who may have to go into the air corps," said school teacher. Cost To Ce: $8,400 Miss Nicholson said the scholarship had a dual purpose: to get women pilots organized throughout the country to take over commercial airlines in event of a national emergency. The scholarship will cost about 4,000 to maintain and will include course in instrument training, the music theory course, studying—the "diploma" of the course. Women Flyers Establish Memorial to Amelia Earhart The purpose of the scholarship according to Mary Nicholson, governor of the New York-New Jersey division of the organization, "is to give a course of instrument training to some member of the Ninety Niners who is a wage-carrier and who has a minimum of 200 flying hours to show she is worthy of the scholarship." Subscription rates, in advance, $3.00 per year, $1.75 per semester. Published at Lawrence, Kansas, daily during the school year expect Monday and Saturday.
