WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1931 BEING SENSIBLE Dr. Burris Jenkins today, in his speech at the all-University convocation, made statements that would have been labeled radical. He said years ago that the first place he was in that the United States would never collect its World War debts from foreign nations because the transfer of so much money can never be made. This is fact, and although it is rather hard to reconcile ourselves with thought, fact cannot be evaded. In return for the cancellation of the war debts, it was pointed out, the increased trade that would follow would far more than offset the very small percentage of income tax added to pay off liberty taxes. The problem is complicated at present, but nevertheless it is a basis for thought. But Doctor Jenkins' philosophy will live longest with the student body—to live and let live, to help others to live, to produce the greatest prosperity in all quarters of the globe; in short to put into effect the dreamy, idealistic economics of the golden rule, that means the only way out of this economic dilemma. The views on international reactions as presented by-Doctor Jenkins are quite the opposite of those advanced after the World War when so much was lost and so little gained. But they are the views that are leading to a program that may affect international peace and do away with the menace of wars. FEMINISM ALACK Men and women are very much the same kind of beings. One continually blames the other for anything that comes up. Modern feminism has been content with demanding the right to vote, practising politics, holding public office as men are permitted to do, while it has neglected advancing the one thing it can do and men cannot. Men can create the apparatus of a civilization, found business, build machines, but there is no record of their handiness at employing this apparatus for a distinctly social purpose Women can civilize a society and men cannot. We would get along without women lawyers, editors, physicians, and hotel brokers, but we could not get around without women as a civilizing force. In the greater concerns of life it is the absence of the impulse toward civilization that justifies women in their complaint that men are forever children. It is evident, in a commercial sense, that women's interests control all aspects of daily activity. Consider the proportion of advertising directed toward the purchasing power of women. The publishing policy of many companies reflects specifically the feminine views of life. The verdict of women on theater productions can easily make or break the success of the presentation, in turn affecting audience engagement and general culture you will find the same evidence. This is a great social force of which our modern society is not getting much advantage. Feminism itself will have to realize first the justification of criticism against it. Then this force will be recognized and should be given a better direction. WHO IS RIGHT? Now that Hoover's jury has given him a vote of confidence in his navy stand, it seems to be Gardner's next move. But it is understood that his move will not be immediately forcoming. The President naturally expects an apology from the Navy League member, but neither he, nor other political leaders, have made it definitely known that they expect a retraction from Gardiner. Possibly that is because an executive committee of the Navy League uphold Gardiner in his stand by a 7 to 1 vote. So the affair narrows into a question of which committee was right, and that leaves us right back where the whole controversy started. As Will Rogers appropriately remarks, "I will talk about it first, but if we are prepared, Hoover is right and if not Gardner is right." Until such convincing evidence as this supreme test of naval strength appears, the men who depend on the navy for their bread and butter will probably maintain that Gardiner's statement was true. The most important country, which is busy producing that bread and butter, will continue to believe that the navy league is "all wet." Unprejudiced observers conclude that it was an unfortunate incident from every angle, and since neither side seems able to prove anything, the question should be dropped. WHY NOT POLO? This idea is so good that we wonder why it never occurred to us before. After looking over the paper yesterday afternoon we saw a news item which told of the Missouri team team beating a distinguished opponent 15 to 3, and the idea came like a flash. Why not polite at the University of Kan- ses? On the face of the proposition there seems to be great difficulties, but looking deeper we see that they could be easily overcome. We have the material, what with all the farmer boys who attend this institution. These boys got their start out on the farm riding every sort of a horse that a narcissus God ever put on earth. Surely if they can ride those they ought to be able to stick on a perfectly trained polo pony. As for a playing field—well, we have the whole of Kansas to choose from, although we might take over the women's hockey field for the purpose. Then, if the sport gained enough followers, we might appropriate the stadium, and relegate the once popular sport of football to the sand lots. Of course there would have to be horses, but perhaps with some gland treatments any old plow horse would do. Either that or you might feel enough to take care of the expense of buying trained ponies. After all we really aren't of the estate until we have a little polo in our midst, so it's time for the student body to rise up and shout "we want polo!" The trouble started with the destruction of a railroad bridge. But if one is apt to take this incident too lightly, he must remember that the biggest scrap in the history of the world began with a comparatively trivial happening. So this "one man" declaration of responsibility than the casual observer is likely to credit it. China h a s formally declared war on Japan after several weeks of occasional fighting over a dispute in Manchuria, according to a news dispatch. At any rate, a Chinese general issued such a declaration, and backed his threat with an organized attack on Japanese forces. (It seems that almost anybody with a pugilistic turn of mind can declare war in China.) "THE DEAR TEACHER" It is the opinion of the League of Nations that Japan is a schoolboy with a chip on his shoulder; a bully who insists on fighting even after the cause has been removed. Although it appears highly improbable that the Western world will be dragged bodily into the conflict which has engaged the two Oriental countries, only the future OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXIX Wednesday, Nov. 11, 1821 No. 53 Advanced standing commission will meet Thursday, Nov. 12, at Healthy house at 4:30.

Candidates include: **PATRICK L. M MANUS** **M MANUS** This is the first appearance of this illustrious star since 1918 when she retired to study improved methods of stage lighting devices. Perhaps her success the other night as "Portia" shouldn't be called a comeback. This term usually is attributed to those who have met with some superior opposition, and Maude Adams never did that. She retired undefeated. Miss Adams received a big oma- tion. Doubless her return made some of those grazing heads in the audience feel a bit younger again. They probably recalled when the vivacious Maude PHI BETA KAPPA; The council of the Kansas Alpha chapter of Phi Beta Kappa will meet in room 103 Administration building on Thursday afternoon, November 12, at 4:30 for PRACTICE TEACHING: Maude Adams, the darling of the theater several years ago stageed a comeback recently in "The Merchant of Venice," which was heralded as a usual Maude Adams hit, according to the critics.

Gandhi has long claimed that he has been wasting his time in England, but was staying through courtesy to Prime Minister Macron when he returns to India the future alone will be able to tell. But it seems almost inconceivable that even these remote peoples could allow themselves to be engaged in war so soon after the expensive lesson the world lived in the years that followed 1914. INDIA'S LAST HOPE The Indian national congress has asserted that the round table conference in London has failed, and urges Gandhi to return to India at once. The British government demands of India for Independence, and serious results are bound to occur. The Indian congress working committee has adopted a resolution urging the people of India to organize themselves, and to prepare for united effective action. Gandhi says that he plans to renew the civil disobedience campaign if England shows no change of heart toward India. Apparently England intends to stand pat on the question, hoping it will blow over. The people of India are aroused now; they have found their leader in Gandhi, and they are no longer going to be subservient to the will of England. All hope of England's doing anything to relieve India has been given up by the people, and now they are looking elsewhere for the solution. Apparently they are waiting for Gandhi to come home before they strike. NEWMAN JEFFREY, Manager. To us of today, the prowess of Maude Adams hasn't any great personal value. But it serves to remind us that time flies, and that it won't be so awfully long until this present generation will sit in the theater and watch our own stage and theater idols make their last splendid bow to an admiring public. romped over the stage as the creator of Sir James Barrie's immortal Peter Pan. Campus Opinion --in a variety of new and exclusive models are sale priced at He Likes the New Bible ditor Daily Kansan: Edgar Daily Karsen: I have been on the newspapers on account of the newspaper comments on the translation of the Bible just published by Goodpeed and Smith, of which I have owned a copy of Goodpeed's New Testament for over two years. I had no occasion to comment, for I was aware of the inaccuracy of the newspaper comments. When we, however, I read in the Kansas an editorial which was patent third hand, my amusement turned to disgust. The New Testament far more intelligent than the King James or American revised version. It is easier to read connectedly with the older versions (e.g., newspaper) English. The older versions have focused too much attention or the phrasing and not enough on the modern versions are much more difficult to quote by verse, but easier to understand. The newer versions include some words that are much harder rather than a few fragmentary verbs. The everyday language translations lack. I admit, the old familiar ring that the New Testament provides has now an established fact that the Greek of the New Testament was not the "Ebiblical" Greek of the Old Testament, and now an established fact that the Greek of the New Testament was not the "Ebiblical" Greek of the Old Testament, and now an established fact that the Greek of the Old Testament. I have been awaiting with interest the publication of the entire Bible in this edition, and the translation Daniel P. Johnson. M. R. B. I read with a great deal of amusement the campus opinion printed last night and signed "An Interested Observer."

Editor Daily Kansan: But insofar as the controversy has been dead for a week or more now, perhaps it would be best to inform the "observer" that he is crying after the teacher said something — from authentic source— the team and the school paper are on friendly ties.
