SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14. 1332 IT'S ALL BALONEY. BUT— And we see that regardless of the depression the Valentine sale goes on. Of course, valentines are rather nice, particularly if they happen to come from the best boy friend. In that case, however, we really expect something a little more "grown-upish." — candy, flowers or something of that sort. So, figure it for yourself. Why on earth should we, or anyone else, waste mones on valentines? Just think of the numbers of hungry people that might be fed on the amount we carelessly spend for our comic cards, successors of the old time lacy valentines! Or the picture shows we could see on the money! Or the pleasure those extra coins could give at the end of the month before the next comck comes from home! Figure it any way you want to and the result is the same. It's all baloney! But, baloney or not, we rather hope you will already have mailed our valentine before you read these thoughts of ours. It is rather embarrassing, you know, to be the only one who is missed on Valentine's day. Kansans, angry because their state has not supplied them with yellow windshield stickers like those of Kansas City car owners, are retailing with stickers of their own composition. So far these windshield wonders have been limited to two words: For Sale. A BACKGROUND Because of her own economic instability Japan can never expect to conquer China. Japan is in a state of near bankruptcy owing to the boycott that has been declared on her goods by China. Japan depends upon her manufacturing to support her 65,000,000 population that lives in a country about the size of Montana. Only one fifth of this country is arable. In the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-5 Japan tried to annex territory from China. This step was frustrated by Germany, France, and Russia, who were also looking out for territory in China. The part of Manchuria that Japan was induced to give up was promptly annexed by Russia for trade purposes. Germany and France were given valuable concessions that were greater than the concessions that had been taken from Japan. In the Russo-Japanese war, Japan regained from Russia control over the southern tip of the Lia o Ting peninsula of Manchuria. If the war had not been stopped by the United States, it is quite probable that Japan would have been defeated. Russia, which was then under the control of a tyrannical group of aristocrats, and did not have a fair chance in the first part of the war owing to the stealing of the army appropriations by the officers. Japan would have been starved out if the war had progressed many more months. many more to China, who now has her back to the wall, will not buy the goods of the Japanese manufacturers. This boycott will in time bring Japan to terms. China is a patriotic nation and would rather die than consume Japanese-made goods. The Japanese war lords will be starved into submission. They are because of the unique type of government in Japan, responsible only to the Emperor. When they have been defeated, because they lack natural resources, it is quite probable that a new type of government will be adopted in Japan. There is a disappointed middle class that may rise up against the present government at any time and overthrow the now weakening aristocracy. Japan started her campaign against China at the critical moment. England has her hands full with India. Germany and other European countries are in bad economic condition. The United States is not in a position to bring force to bear, nor is she greatly interested. Russia is the only country that may take a hand. Notwithstanding their preoccupation with the five-year plan, they have trained soldiers and have not forgotten the privileges that they lost as a result of the Russo-Japanese war. DISAPPOINTED EUROPE Headline: "Japanese Called Perfidious." Well, can you blame them for fighting? The American delegation to the international disarmament conference recently laid before that body a plan of arms reduction as far-reaching and practical as any which has yet been submitted. Many of the proposals of the United States were identical with those offered by other nations. It was a statement of policy rather than an original scheme. The plan attacked the armament situation from all sides. It included the elimination of submarines, civilian bombing, and gas and bacteriological warfare. It called for a reduction of navies troops, tanks and heavy artillery. It advocated the extension and strengthening of existing treaties. The immediate reactions of the delegates of other nations to the proposal were puzzling. French, Italian and German delegates expressed disappointment at the "mild American policy." Later opinions, especially from Great Britain, voiced whole-hearted approval of the American attitude. Something of a paradox was created. In the face of these developments, the early "disappointment" smacks suspiciously of a case of mistuded ears. Perhaps what the French, Italian and German delegates had hoped to hear was "reduction or cancellation of war debts; international security alliances; extensions of existing commercial credits." Then, down toward the bottom of the list, some reference to arms reductions might have been in order. The big noise of each morning's news to the male population of the campus is Tarzen. "THE ORDER CHANGETH" 'I love thee!' Startle not to hear Those words from lips from you alone; To be your Valentine." And I a maid at your window And Oh! "Tis bliss when thou art near Shakespeare, 1603. Tomorrow is St. Valentine's day All in the morning betime To dwell upon thy look and tone." 1865 "Two we are and one we'll be If you'll consent to marry me." 1880 "You've got the looks You've got the style You've got that come and get me smile When you pass by The boys all stare Who beats your time is going some. It's sure too bad You're so dumb!" --have nothing to do with the declaring. And I don't care about going over my own speech, and I'll just say if they'll come down to my weight class they'll take all on one at a time with me.

With the twelve-thirty weekend closing rule for women now in effect at all houses, late privileges for all women are equalized. Another news headline—"To Wed Man She Shot." Suppose the first fight was just target practice? This means no more week-end out-of-town-date "gaga," and no signing out for varieties even on nights when none are held. It also means that all University women must be in their houses at the same hour. It means, too, that University women may now attend a second show and still be in at closing time. With the granting of any new right, other desirable privileges must be sacrificed. Formally a 12 o'clock party meant an additional forty-five minutes to get home. Now the thrill of coming in late after a one o'clock event is history. But who wouldn't be willing to sacrifice fifteen minutes of dancing occasionally for an additional hour of freedom every other week-end night? MAKING THE WORLD SAFE FOR STANDARD OIL. Maybe the Japs caught to have a good lickin' as a lot of people are saying. But who wants to do the lickin'? I'm pretty sure President Hoover and Secretary Stimson don't. They may send lots of notes, but there isn't a lot of evidence. We see there and grabbing some Japs by the ears and wrestling. If war is declared the ones that will do the liek'in he will be guys like me who Our Contemporaries The Oklahoma Daily: But I'm not going over there and nack a lot of poison gas into my lungs and get hit on the head by airplane bomb even if the oil companies lose every cent they've got invested over there. That's my idea of a messy way to run. If the Japa come over here I'd try to defend my wife. Let these women defend me, defend defending I know he's not worrying about my finances. And I'll bet he doesn't care enough about his own to go over there and set shot at. If Americans don't like the way things are run over there let them come home. China's boots have been broken and its military might could save to reassemble its weapons to save to reassemble its for a while. A lot of patriots think a war would fix up the unemployment situation. It that's a good idea I've better one Why not line all the unemployed against a wall and shoot them our way? Why not send them to China sending them all the way to China to get shot. —Raymond Purr Editor Daily Kansan; February—and leap year! How about that leap year variety that's generally better? You might be making for it so the poor boys can be given a break? I know it's the time of depression and all but that's all they want. Maybe if you don't care, since there is no 59-50 dating aren't the girls going to be given a chance to show the boys a good time Campus Opinion Scandia, Feb. 14—(U-P) A local holiday for the entire town of Scandia is being planned for Feb. 23, in memory of George Washington's anniversary of George Washington One who wants a Leap Year Varsity.
