Why Not The Wasserman?
Last spring after an extensive educational campaign conducted both by the Kansan and by medical authorities of the University, a survey showed almost unanimous approval of a Wasserman test for students in the University
The Wasserman test is a comparatively simple test designed to detect the presence of syphilis.
Saturday nw students took physical examinations, and the Wasserman test was not included in the examinations. Not because of adverse student opinion, not because medical authorities were not willing to assume the task, but because of obscure political and financial reasons, the test was omitted.
With a national educational campaign against the murderous disease in progress, and with other colleges and universities joining in the campaign it is a pity that the University of Kansas cannot go over the top with the first wave of active forces against syphilis.
Replacing the printed platform, the Kansan will this year carry policy editorials from time to time. With the beginning of the regular publication schedule, a statement of that intangible thing called policy is pertinent.
Concerning The Kansan's Course
The policy of the Kansan is broad and flexible. Such bromides are liberty, freedom, the constitution, etc. are, of course, included in the policy of any newspaper of this sort. The dominating influence, however, in the policy of the Kansan is its interest in the student body. Its status as official organ of the student body of the University places in its hands the banner of the student body together with all the responsibilities involved. Its first interest and its first efforts will deal with those causes that will improve the lot of the student body.
The scope of student interest, on the other hand, extends far beyond the University, and so shall the scope of the Kansan. Likewise, the interests and philosophies of the students are as varied as are those of people on the outside—here we have the radical, the liberal, the reactionary. Here we have the pacifist and the militarist.
Of course, the Kansan intends to be liberal, but a liberal policy is hard to define. The intention of the Kansan, like the true liberal, is to hew a straight course, without control by any faction, but with an ear and a voice for all.
Then What in Japan?
Defeat---
Dozens of articles tell of the possible effect of the Sino-Japanese war on China, but let us speculate upon what this war might do to Janum.
Suppose that the theoretical stream of men which Ripley says could march out of China four abreast in an endless stream should manage to defeat Japan. Although India is hard pressed, the odds are not so strongly against her that such a proposition is entirely improbable.
What would then happen to Japan? The foundation of that country is its peasantry, which not only pays from fifty to almost sixty per cent of its crops for rent, and tremendous and increasingly large taxes every year, but also high prices for their industrial products. Balanced precariously on the brink of a financial precipice, this poor, impoverished people will find that they have not been helping a "Great Cause," but have been crushingly exploited.
Will they continue to work endlessly in the fields and still pay such an astoundingly large portion of the pie to landlords and government with nothing but a dissatisfied, disheveled and defeated army to back them? And in what direction will their explosion of accumulated resentment go?
It will go in the direction that long years of history have proved. To the opposite extreme. In this case, from Facism to Communism.
Buy Out Americans in China
Bombs bursting in air and the American flag proudly fluttering through all may be an awe-inspiring spectacle but the possibility of becoming involved in war is a fair price to pay for such a realistic enactment of a stanza of our national anthem.
Japan, ruled by a military clique and backed by a nation of super-patriots, has attacked China in a mania of war hate. In the face of this Nipponese invasion, China has become a nation more united than ever before. That a state of war exists in the Far East and will long continue is patent, and yet our president and state department, blandly following the lead of Great Britain, refuse to invoke the neutrality act.
With every day that passes the battle of the Orient becomes more bitter and intercine and the plight of foreign investments in China takes on a more loamy aspect. With every day that passes pressure groups of private business are making it more difficult to apply our neutrality act because, unfortunately, war increases the business and money in the pockets of a few of our citizens. During the short duration of the war and its preparation, the export trade of certain war materials has jumped perceptively. Even now American ships are on the high seas carrying planes to China, scrap iron to Japan and other materials of war to both countries. Application of the neutrality act would stop this flood of implements of war and seriously reduce, through quota restriction, the export of such goods as cotton, wheat, automobiles, etc.
In a late public statement Secretary Hull said unequivocally that the United States had no intention of withdrawing her battleships and marines from the Shanghai war area—and that American citizens and interests would be protected to the utmost. Private interests of American citizens in China total about $150,000,000 and the number of our countrymen in the war area is slightly over 2,000, most of whom are business men and their families. It seems quite obvious that our concern and stake in the Far East becomes one of protecting private investment. The protection of private investment contributed greatly in effecting our entrance into the World War, a cause of war which the framers of our present neutrality act attempted to eliminate.

If you think that just because the year has hardly started students will have nothing to belly-ache about in this column, you are mistaken. There are many things that were lost in the shuffle last year, and some of us would like to know what happened to our students. In the book, the plan for a Student Co-operative book store.
In a couple of days we will be buying books, and I for one would like to know why, when the student councils voted favorably on the Co-operative, it has been so calmly thrown on the dust heap. C. J. B.

Injuries Prove Fatal To Senior Medical Student
Paul L. Sanders, m38, died Friday from injuries received the previous afternoon when he was struck in a car crash on the Kondalee yards of Kansas City.
Billy Mann, a pupil in Sanders' Sunday school class at the Rosecade Methodist Episcopal church, was walking with the medical student at the time of the accident and narrowly escaped injury himself. According to the Mann boy, they heard the train approaching from behind but believed it was on an adjoining track.
