Entered as second class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1934 NYM KEEPS ITS SPIRIT Kansas City's National Youth Movement has outlined its plans for future activity showing that members of the organization have not let defeat discourage them in their efforts for good government. Their plans are laid with the purpose in mind of correcting those evil practices in Kansas City politics which brought their recent defeat. The NYM intends to conduct research and educational activities for good government, accumulate evidence of election frauds and crimes, and assist in prosecutions, prepare for possible recall elections, aid in national expansion of NYM, encourage a new civic spirit, collect funds and enroll 20,000 members. In the fight to eliminate "ghost" votes in Kansas City elections the young citizens have formulated a program in definite detail, which, if carried into operation, should go far toward the accomplishment of their purpose. NYM has shown itself to be not merely a product of youthful enthusiasm which may fade with the first defeat, but a persevering group deeply sincere in its effort to make Kansas City "the best governed city in the country." Its perseverance, purposes and methods should be an inspiration to other young people in this part of the country. Especially is its emphasis on research and educational efforts suggestive of a way in which young people can get into the movement for cleaner politics. Many opportunities for the study of political problems could be found in educational centers where thorough students of political science are available for lectures and to lead discussions, and where a large group of young people is already at hand for participation in such discussion. The engineering clubs make sure that only engineers attend their meetings by publishing such titles as, "Lectures will be given on 'Cathode Ray Oscillograph' and 'Thyration Tube Inverters.'" CULTURAL INTERNATIONALISM The recent appearance of Max Monitor, dramatic reader, brings to mind one fault of our American people, and that is lack of what might be called "cultural internationalism." To be sure, many of the literary and scientific works of those who are not of our country are accepted by Americans for their full value. The culture to be gained by contact with the geniuses of Germany, France, and other countries is not overlooked. The fact still remains, however, that when we do attempt to appreciate foreign works, all too often we change them around to suit our own language and meanings. Too often, also, translations rob the works of their original beauty and charm. While we cannot all master foreign languages, we can listen to them with appreciation. Such an opportunity was at hand at the Montor performance. When he read in his native German tongue his meaning was known by only a few, and yet practically all the audience had the feeling of the words. The same was true when Cornelia Otis Skinner, in her recent performance, read the French poem with such charm. ON THE WINGS OF SONG Fine Arts students will probably feel they have been literally surfeited in music at the conclusion of Music Week. Some kind of entertainment is offered for the greater part of every day. To them it is routine with a little added glamour. To the members of other schools and departments on the campus, however, Music Week is an outstanding presentation of the best that the School of Fine Arts has to offer. Many envy the school the talent and work necessary for such performances. Although many of these students will attend but one or two of the concerts, they are fully aware of their worth. The average student becomes more music-conscious, more appreciative of all culture, as a result. The School of Fine Arts is to be commended on the institution of such a week. They have planned all the events with foresight, not overlooking the appeal of variety. Artists from both within and without the school have been procured. Most of the programs have been widely advertised so that music lovers from all over the state can be afforded the opportunity of enjoying them. A real service was performed in presenting the first concert, a costume recital, on Sunday afternoon, in order that the visiting parents might get a taste of what the University has to offer in the way of music culture, and to help to give them "the whirl" they were promised. Clothing is a large item in the High Cost of Living which bothers so many of us, yet apparently the Kansas City nudists pay no insignificant sum for the privilege of wearing no clothes at all. CAN THE NEW DEAL LAST? What are the chances for the New Deal? That question all America is asking itself today. Every newspaper records a new speech or statement on the subject. Every magazine has an article, analyzing, criticizing, predicting. We seem to have reached a crossroad on our path to recovery, where everyone has stopped to ask of his fellow travelers, "To the right or to the left?" And no one seems to know. Big business is pulling strongly to the right. The huge interests begin to see a way out. They no longer feel that their very existence depends on governmental help, so they begin to regret the privileges they gave up to secure that help. Clearly, President Roosevelt's chance to keep the course he has begun does not lie with them. There is no denying that the president has come to a critical point in his administration. Events will soon show whether he will be able to carry on his policies and plans for economic planning, for governmental regulation of industry, for the protection of the consumer, or whether the nation will once more fall back into the old ways of uncontrolled competition and exploitation of the public, into the old national blindness. It is rather to the support of the masses that the President must cook for the further backing of the New Deal. The American people have come under the spell of his personality; they have confidence in him and in his devotion to their good.

Current Screen Briefly, the story concerns the resolution of a fortune hunter to get to an elephant graveyard to recover the ivory so that he may establish his fortune. He enlists another young fellow, who is in love with Tarzan's mate, a former society girl, and off they go with 200 natives. They find Tarzan and of course complications arise when the two civil- Tarvan and His Mate (Patee) is nothing more nor less than strenuous. It may be called strenuous because of the terrific excitement that is maintained throughout the picture. There is excitement in the use of charging elephants, revengeful apes, dangerous savages, and a beautiful girl. The whole thing is another animal picture which does not attempt to advertise itself as one taken in the midst of the African jungle, and because its audience realizes that a lot of the shots are through trick photography they enjoy it more than if they felt they were being deliberately fooled.

President. opportunity given him by the radio for reaching the public mind, he will be able to maintain sentiment in favor of his program, so that the great things he has proposed for this country will become realities. TOMORROW'S OPPORTUNITIES ening at 7 o'clock Doesn't this prove to you, youth of today, that the age in which you are living is not yet complete? It is no time to waste your energies if you keep your mind receptive to new ideas. All of the inventions have not yet been made, nor all of the projects finished. Anyone, who in moments of dejection, has felt that all things have been achieved, all ideas worked out, and the proverbial "room at the top" all taken, should gain renewed hope in the latest marvel of science, the transmission of photographs by wire. This new system of telephotography is one of the greatest achievements of recent years, and is destined to revolutionize newspapers over the entire world. It is expected that the new system will be in operation next fall, with the Kansas City Star as one of the first key points. Until the world has become accustomed to this marvel it is difficult to believe that we may see important happenings transmitted from coast to coast in seventeen minutes or as soon as the news story itself arrives. ized men fall in love with the girl. The subsequent robbing of the graveyard, the ensuing battles with natives, lions, and so forth, make up the rest of the story. Johnny Weismuller as Tarzan, is well fitted for the part, as he never has to say anything intelligible or do anything but swing through trees and swim. Maureen O'Sullivan has no particular historic power but with a certain amount of cuteness she puts her part over. The other two principal actors are really not worth mentioning, as their acting is too obviously "stagey." The women will give the laurels to John Boles in *Bottoms Up* (Varsity) and the men, at least most of them, will cast their votes for Spencer Tracy. Both give an entertaining performance, as do Money-throated "Pat" Patterson, flat-panned Herbert Mundin, eagle-baked Sid Silvers, whining Harry Green and Matronly Thelma Todd. From the standpoints of development and interpretation of character, however, Tracy deserves the honors. True, Boles did have a weak part, but it could have been played for more than he got out of it. His singing will pass, but Miss Paterson's is better. In Bottoms Up Hollywood takes a few digs at its own gullibility. Three carefree adventurers, down and out themselves, pick up a girl who has unsuccessfully been trying to break into pictures. By a clever bit of deception they make her a star, but they are left where they started. The chief attraction of this show lies in its clever lines. The plot is not outstanding, and the musical numbers are just ordinary. The humor makes the picture worthwhile. Our Contemporaries JAPAN IN MANCHURIA Washington University Student Life Japan's outburst of fire-breathing is an example of the "open diplomacy" so dear to Woodrow Wilson's heart. Otherwise it lacks significance. It is nothing new, this Asiatic "Monroe Doctrine," merely an explanation of all Japanese policy since September 18, 1931. Its importance is in reopening the entire question for consideration. We have found it to our own interests to get out of Latin America. Might not the same criterion hold for Japan in China? She cannot solve her population problem by foreign expansion. Her people do not emigrate. They did not emigrate, for example, to Korea. She cannot gain a great deal in the way of trade by her conquest, even if successful. Japan today, after the first fruits of exploitation have been devised, has no larger a share of Korean trade than she had when Korea was independent. It is then doubtful if gains to the people of Japan will measurably recompense them for the thousands of lives and billions of yen which they are sacrificing to win Manchuria. This even if Chinese and native resistance proves as neglig- gible as it has been to date, and if Russia does not enter the conflict. Imperialism, then, does nothing for the Japanese people. As to the Japanese capitalists—five large families control half Japan's industry—that is something else again. Gains exist for them—unexploited resources, undeveloped railways, unfarmed land—that is obvious. The whole imperialistic march is proceeding on the lines Karl Marx forecast years ago. Imperialism, in the eyes of the Chinese, forms for the people. It is a little more potent, incidentally, than the Western variety of religion, as is shown by the recent outbreak of big-navy propaganda, political assassinations and suicides, and "human bombs" in Japan. It would be a little too pessimistic to believe that the Japanese people will never wake up. When they do, this Manchurian question will take care of itself. Until they do, intervention by war or boycott can hardly serve any useful purpose. If it is peace we want, a great deal more could be done by reconsideration of our immigration policy than by all the head-shaking and tut-tutting of all the peace organizations in this country. WORRY Daily Texan. Since the beginning of time, one might dare to say, man has worried. And until the end of time, one might be so bold as to predict, man will continue to worry. And what does he worry about? What does he worry about, do you say? To be concrete and to the point—everything; Now naturally there are exceptions to every rule. Man doesn't worry about everything, but there is rarely a happenings, rarely anything that he can not find something concerning it which troubles him greatly. There is, too free, the surprise and purpose and brought to the case by the person concerned. And a remedy? A remedy? Bare he it from one to try to suggest or even think of a substitution, for would that not be a worry in itself? And there goes that endless circle—around and around. Eve, no doubt, bit into a big hunk of "Worry. If she didn't, then someone not long after her time did. And the rest of the natives have swallowed it and their children and their children after them will just keep on swallowing it and the problem seems here to stay, or maybe one should better say, the fact is here.
