Gunther Sees Long Deadlock Over China
★ Writer Believes Events in East Will Reach Point Where Japan Will Hold Half of Territory
Using the October Munich settlement as a basis for explanation of the crises in Europe and the Orient, John Gunther, international news authority, described the paradox of German nationalist policies and made predictions concerning the Chinese and Spanish wars to one thousand persons attending his lecture in Hoch auditorium last night.
Gunther forecast a long deadlock in the Sino-Japanese conflict. He said China's tenacious defense will prolong the war, but a complete lack of supplies prevents a counter offensive.
With a rebel Spanish victory in the two-year-old civil war imminent, he believes Facist policies will be extended to three fronts, that France will suffer strategic disadvantages and that American difficulties will be increased.
Spattering his opinions with personal anecdotes, Gunther held the attention of his audience with an interesting conversational style tending to deal in superlatives. Unafraid to express his personal opinions on politics and persons, he took the audience from country to country describing "behind the scene" situations.
World Rapidly Changing
"Since the developments in 1934, our world has changed completely," he declared. "At that time we tailed of Dollfuss and thought Hitler was a bad politician. No one had heard of an 'undecided war'—now one exhibits bad taste even by declaring a war."
Gunther avered that the Muniel agreement was more than a division of Czechoslovakia; it was a clash between three systems represented by three men: the self-determination policy of Woodrow Wilson, the Communism of Lenin, and the exaggerated nationalism of Adolph Hitler.
Self-determination he explained as a form of nationalism which upholds "the right for people with similar language and culture to unite as one country." But Hitler directly contradicts himself, Gunther indicated, by protesting the self-determination of the Treaty of Versailles while he supports his own declarations of nationalism.

This is no lost-and-found department, but a few days ago an item concerning the loss of a 280-bill appeared here. Finder called owner and the bill was returned without the acceptance of a reward. Which doesn't prove the truth, but does prove that Summerfield scholars are regular guys. The finder was Dave Angvine.

Photography Future Bright Mahoney Tells Students
By Millard Ross, c'39
By Miriam Ross, c. 29
"It is a known fact that pictures are an important part in newspapers and magazines today and that there is an abundance of them," said Tom Mahoney, associated editor of Look magazine, in addressing the advertising classes in the department of journalism this morning.
Mahoney believes that there is a good future in the field but would not advise taking it up with the idea of making a life work of it. Newspapers are using more pictures and are now publishing large retrographics to be enthusiastic about pictures. The Radio Corporation and General Motors are now publishing "house organs" made up entirely of pictures.
Continuing, Mahoney said that no until picture magazines became widespread in America did the *Idea* of *The Infinite* derive the stimulus of pictures, the Doe Moines Tribune and Register attained new circulation records.
Open Field For Women in Pictures
In speaking of his own magazine, Mahoney asserted that, as it has grown, those connected with th
Edward Tomlinson, NBC reporter on the Lima conference and director of the Other Americas broadcast will speak in Hoch auditorium Thursday evening as the next lecturer on the University lecture series. His subject will be "Is South America Going Fascist?"
Mr. Tomlinson, a graduate of Georgia Normal College and the University of Edinburgh, has had 15 years of experience in the South American countries. After the World War Mr. Tomlinson decided that the future of American trade lay in developing the vast potential markets of South America. He made his first visit to South America in 1922. Since then he has made annual visits to these republics.
He covered the Pan-American Peace conference giving 53 broadcasts in 23 days.

magazine believe the mistakes of the early issues have been corrected and the start of a worthwhile editorial program developed. He added that "magazine believe that the interest in pictures and picture magazines is a solid one."
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1930
In an interview following his address, Mahoney said that he believed that there is plenty of opportunity for women in the picture field. Women are good judges of pictures and also that they can get pictures in difficult situations. "Look" is using three women as assists in a project. The magazine it is hard to keep from offending someone, asserted Mahoney.
When asked what some of the pictures taken offence at were, he said that he believed every Canadian who could buy a postage stamp, sent letters protesting a picture of Queen Mary's hat that appeared in the magazine. Unless we get over a thousand letters protesting a picture, we aren't especially worried, Mahoney added.
Mahoney attended the University of Missouri, and immediately after graduation worked for Scripps-Howard out of El Paso, Texas. Later he worked for the United Press at Dallas and Kansas City. In 1932 he was on the U. P. staff that covered the Olympic games at Los Angeles. He remembers distinctly Glenn Cunningham; who was then beginning his rise to world wide fame as a miler.

Mahoney said that pictures had always fascinated him and that he has thoroughly enjoyed his work. He proved a very interesting speaker and answered all questions the students put before him readily.
Pohlenz Addresses University Club
Germany's economic problems are much different than those of this country declared Ulrich Pohlenz German exchange scholar, in his speech before the University Club at 7:30 last night. Pohlenz, now working for his doctor's degree in economics, was asked by the club to speak on "Money and Its Place in the German Economic System."
Pohlenz told the University Club members that he believed that the nations serve the well-being of their people better by a peaceful policy of mutual consideration than suppressing oppression and compulsion.
He said, "I am not here to offer propaganda . . . therefore it can not be my purpose to awaken interest in you and make you undressed interest already present."
At the end of his speech, which was attended by many members of the faculty, Mr. Pohlenz expresses his personal wishes for a better understanding between the two countries.
The Exchange scholar reminded his audience that Germany is only a little larger than the state of Texas and yet has two-thirds the population of the entire United States. The monetary problems of Germany are those of a country which has recently lost a war and whose natural resources are in no way equal to those of this country.

Gunther said concerning the United States foreign policy that Roosevelt's confidence in the democracies of Europe had been shaken following the Munich conference. The President's re-statement of America's servant to bolster those powers for an ultimate conflict with the dictator nations of the world, he said.
Indifferent on League
The mournful precession from the pope's private apartments to the chapel was headed by the Swiss guards in their medieval uniforms and included the entire diplomatic corps, all the cardinals now in Rome, the palate guard, the staff officers of the various armed corps of the papal states and ecclesiastical and lay diaries.
His answers were quick and to he point. He seemed to anticipate such query and had it half answered before it was asked.
The death of Pius, born Achili Ratti, and of a silk worker, take from men and women of the Catholic faith a leader unexcelled in modern times in ability, enlightenment and forceful personality.
John Gunther Is Prolific In Interview for Kansan
The Pope has been especially venerated by American Catholics. It was through his efforts that the time between the death of a Pope and the election of his successor was in order to participate in the selection. He has from time to time praised different American institutions. Press
The pope lay in state in semi-private surroundings in the sistine chapel this evening, but totomorrow the body will be removed to St. Peters, and the public will be permitted to file past the bier. This afternoon only the Roman aristocracy members of the diplomatic corp and officials of the Vatican state were permitted to file past the body.
Several high ecclesiastical authorities were in the sick room at the time of the Pontiff's death. Relatives and friends, including the Pope's nephew, Count Ranc Ratti, were called to the Vatican when it became known that the great leader of the Catholics was reaching the end.
The Pope had suffered an attack of cardiac asthma yesterday and although Vatican physicians considered his condition critical, guards were surprised as high functionaries with Papaya began arriving at an early hour.
The transfer of the body to the sistine chapel followed the taking of a death mask by the official Vatican engraver and sculptor, Aureli Mistruzzi, an da formal identification of the body by Eugenia Cardinal, Colon Pacelli and members of the apostolic chamber.

down on his desire for complete Philippine independence," Gunther asserted. "Quezon has been the leader of the independence movement in the Philippines for 25 years and it is near he is getting 'cold feet.' He realizes that the Philippines would be unable to defend themselves."
Attacks Education
Speaking further of the far east Gunther declared he believes that Japan will continue its conquests until it has all of China and at least a portion of Siberia. It is possible in his opinion that Nippon might want the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies. He would believe that Japan would be committing a crime against the world if it let the Philinnes go.
Gunther was rather bitter in his attack against the American system of higher education. He said that he was allowed to graduate from the University of Chicago without a bit of language or political science. "I would take all the political science, economics and languages I could if I were able to go back to college again," he said.
Exchange Scholar Finds John Gunther Unjustly Critical

"Journalism schools are all right," said Gunther, "In the Far East 90 per cent of the correspondents are journalism school graduates. This is probably because they are a young group of journalists, a school of correspondents pre-
Ulrich Polhenz, German exchange scholar, last night was as frank in his criticism of John Gunther's lecture as the world traveler himself was open in denouncing German policies and Japanese culture.
Said Pollenz of the speech: "I can readily see that advocates of democracy or some other form of government would not be in favor of German policies. I believe, however, that the subject is too insignificant to perpetual and emotional viewpoint that taken by Mr. Gunther last night.
"His statements appeared to consist largely of personal references with little factual criticism. And I do not believe his methods contribute to a mutual understanding between Germany and the United Kingdom, which I believe is desired by many persons in both countries.

Kansas Debaters Defend New Deal
- Creighton Team Opposes Government Spending to Stimulate Business
Defending the government's policy of spending money to stimulating business the University debate team composed of Bob Hedges, b'40, and Irving Kass, c'39, the Creighton College team in a no-decisiondebate yesterday afternoon in the Little Theater of Green Hall.
Leonard Leon, the first Creighton College speaker, advocated the abolition of the government's present spending policy.
"Pump priming does not affect our problem," he said. Although spending our way out of the depression is a popular theory, it fails to conceive that the greatest unemployment in the consumer industries.
He remarked that the business man of today is afraid to expand his business because of the uncertainty of the government program.
Amwerting this speech Irving Kass, first University speaker, spoke of the past depressions and asserted that he had never indeed was by spending their way out.
"The only place where capital is able to turn for funds is to apply to the government for the money necessary to carry on the business."
Kass declared that government spending tends to increase the national income as well as raise the national of living.
Joe Soshnik, second Creighton debater, returned to his colleague's argument that as long as the business empire is built up, venture into new business fields
"We propose that the government cease its pump priming, stop competing with private enterprise, and restore confidence to business."
Bob Hedges, the last University debater of the afternoon, quoted several well known economists on government spending. He spoke on the manner in which the country is recovering from the depression.
"Are we coming out of the depression?" Our opponents say that they aren't, yet production levels are stable. The country are in better condition."

Washburn Tilt OnCourtMenu For Jayhawks
- Dr. Allen Takes 19 to Torpeka for Game with Old Rival Tonight; Sands in Lineup
Tonight's game will find two newcomers in the Kansas start-lineup, Jack Sands and Loren Florell. Florell has been seeing considerable service this year but hasn't been in the start-line-up to date. Sands is a newcomer on the squad and will get his first taste of action against Washburn tonight. Sands received his high school training at Erie and also spent one season on the Parsons Ju-co team.
The hoop struggle will mark the twenty-seventh court struggle between the two schools. Although the capital city five has enjoyed a fairly successful season this year they should cause the Jayhwahkers little trouble as they strive for their tenth win of the current season.
The Jayhawker basketball squad,
19 strong, embarked this afternoon
for Topea where they will meet the
Washburn Ichabods tonight at 7.30
In Whiting Field House.
The rest of the line-up will be Lyme Corlis, Dick Hart, and Ralph Miller. As usual Corlis, senior guard will be the game captain. Corlis and Elliott will play against court stars and will be playing against some of their former mates.
The Washburn outfit it sparked by Norman Sanneman, one of Corlis and Florle's former high school, teammates. Sanneman is a junior this year and is playing the same brand of ball that made him one of the outstanding players last season. This boy, who is an excellent high jumper, has controlled the tip for the Ichabods in most of the games this year.
The two Washburn forwards, Jim Mackey and "Kayo" Emmot are both experienced and good. Two newcomers will attempt to keep the Jay-hawkers from becoming too familiar with the basket. Ostmeyer, a former Dodge City Junior College star, holds one post while Schroeder, one of the school's best halfbacks, will fill the other slot.
Ed Ambsbough, veteran forward will see little action due to a foot infection, Coach "Dee" Erickson announced yesterday. The former Abilene high school high school star, Pops Milla will need no introduction. The two met several years ago at the state high school basketball tournament, when Miller was starring for Chanute and Ambsbough was a member of the Abilene team. When the two schools met Miller and Ambsbough were playing opposite each other.
Doctor Allen was undecided this morning as to whether Lester Karpman, senior center, would see any service in tonight's game. "Kap" is suffering from a slight cold that had um bed fast yesterday.
Two other Ichabod gridsters are on the rooster and will probably see service in the tilt, Erskine Money and Gordon Lowry, Ambsoug, was a wingman on last fall's football team; incidentally.
