MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1931 JAPANESE OBSTINACY By a vote of 13 to 1 the council of the League of Nations, in its meeting Saturday, voted that Japan should evacuate Macau by Nov. 16. The Japanese representative cast the only dissenting vote in this otherwise unanimous decision. No sooner had the ultimatum of the League council become known than the Japanese government issued a statement declaring that under no condition would it be able to carry out the orders of the international body. And so things have come to a deadlock it seems, despite all the effort and diplomatic maneuverings of the various nations to untangle the Sino-S Japanese impase. The League tells Japan "You must." And Japan quite emphatically answers, "We won't." Japan's apparent decision to ignore the verdict of the League only goes to show to what lengths of unreasoning defiance national modality and economic pressure will force a nation Japan and China should arbitrate their differences. All possible facilities for such action have been placed at their disposal. But Japan apparently has taken a stand which it considers provoible and continues its high handed methods, leaving the rest of "the interested powers to twiddle their diplomatic thumbs and speculate upon the future actions of this "bad boy" of Just what the outcome of this dangerous situation will e nobly knows. But it is a certainty that the entire world will anxiously await the arrival of November 16. If, at that time, Japan continues adamant in her stand, there is a grave possibility that force may be employed by the League in bringing Japan to her senses. Well, the team lost to Nebraska. But Jiahawyers played a good game and showed a decided improvement over their form in the early season games. A good marshal was evident. No team could repute so many scoring threats as the Nebraska players provided without having it pretty well developed. Of course there's still room for improvement. The Kansas defensive work was beyond reproach, but their offense failed to function as it must if K. U. is to break into the Big Six winning columns. A BIG IMPROVEMENT On the whole, the team did a good job in Lincoln. Much credit is due them for the noticeable improvement in their play. COMMON SENSE “What we all need is greater effort to reduce the current Big Ideas to common sense,” said Ed Howe in his column recently. Too many big ideas and not enough common sense may be what has caused many of the world's troubles and much of the present economic depression. Proof of the fact that big ideas are plentiful in given in the countless inventions which have made mass production possible. Perhaps we have not had the right kind of big ideas. We have more need of great social ideas than of big mechanical ideas at present, but above all else we need common sense in order to weather the present world crises successfully. That common sense has been lacking somewhere is indicated by the millions of unemployed people, the long bread lines, and the crowds who haunt the soup kitchens. In the effort to reduce big ideas to common sense, the common man should not be left out of consideration. The part which the common people play in our civilization is too often minimized. The big ideas may be usable, but they will not be of great value until they are reduced to common sense by the common people, who are the strength and refuge of all nations. This process of reducing big ideas to common sense is not likely to be accompanied by hood hurrups and much sounding of trumpets. Common people don't work that way. It will most likely come about as silently and as much unheralded as the recent bullish tendency in the grain market. Watch for it and do your share in speeding its coming. CARD_TRICKS When the Cornhuskbor root sectionions showed their cards "face up" between halves last Saturday, it gave rise to heated discussion among the sports announcers in the press box. The question for debate was what kind of fowl, if any, the rosters were trying to represent with the pretty colored cardboard. Those of us who stayed at home and merely listened to the game knew at once from the description that the card display was supposed to represent a Jayhawk-they couldn't fool us. But you see these radio announcers hadn't been to college, which probably accounted for their hopeless confusion. One suggested that the figure displayed was supposed to be a hen, while the other maintained that it was probably a duck. But before they came to blows over the matter they concluded that it wasn't of great consequence, and hence not worth fighting over, any- The discussion may have sounded trivial to many disinterested listeners, but it was consoling to us. Now we don't feel so bad because the Aggies couldn't figure out what kind of cards trick we were trying to pull a week ago. A DIFFERENT VIEW Christian Gauss, Dean of the College at Pinetone, strikes a new note in the criticism of the young people of this country in an article, "The New Moral issue in the oLleges," in the November issue of Scriffer's. Usually the younger generation is severely criticized for not taking an active interest in national and international news—in letting things just slide by without paying any particular attention to them unless they vitally concern the individual himself. The youth movements and the intense interest in politics evinced by the youth of foreign countries, are often used as an indictment of the laissez faire attitude of American young men and women. But Mr. Gauss told of a growing internationalism, of growing tolerance and culture on the part of the american youth. This writer says that young America is talking an interest in international affairs, especially in Russia. This interest is not taking the trend which many older Americans would like it to take. "Young Americans have become as realistic in dealing with foreign or domestic politics as they were accused of being in dealing with sex," said Mr. Gauss. Self-rightness and self-antifaction are to be shuned; good citizenship is more vital than an avoidance of some of the gentlemenly vices; a self-nationalism is also out of date in the minds of young people, in the opinion of Mr. Gauss. The new trend toward internationalism and true good citizenship on the part of the youth of America is encouraging. A change is undoubtedly taking place, but few critics have recognized it. Perhaps this is because changes are taking place so rapidly today, or perhaps the critics are not close enough to the American young people to perceive these changes. But the changes are deeply significant. American diplomats will see a new picture at Geneva next February France, instead of sitting in a corner as she did in the Washington and London naval-arms limitations conferences a second rate power, will be sitting on the highest stool—the outstanding power in Europe by grace of an unexpected series of strange political upets in recent weeks.

Her position is easily summarized no disarrayment without equivalent security guarantees. It would mean entangling America in European affairs, France, it appears, will cut off her right arm before she will trim her army or navy, if America, Japan, Britain and Italy do not sign an agreement to come to her aid if ever she should be invaded again. France will go to Geneva in February feeling herself the pillar of Europe the prop which keeps capitalistic democracy safe from communist nibbling France intends to make her naval memorandum of last July the basis of her action at Geneva. The basis of the whole French attitude on disarmament is that armies and navies can be reduced only in proportion to the political guarantees that other powers give France, that the things will never happen again which did occur twice in a half-century, 1870 and 1914, when each, ten of her richest departments were laid waste. AN APPLE A DAY— This has been designated as apple week in Kansas. "The old slogan, 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away,' has been changed to "Be sure the daily apple is home-grown." It is taken for granted that every man, woman and child in Kansas does eat an apple each day after having chanted the familiar phrase for so many years. Assuming that each person indulges in the ripe, red fruit 365 times a year, it should not be much trouble for us to eat the $1.2 million bundles of the home-grown product. Good old Kansas apples will taste better between crusts made from Kansas wheat than apples from any other state nowhay, we wager. The Kansas farmer has had a dry deal during this depression, and in the consuming of his apples will help, we for it. The delicious California fruit that comes in individual wrappers can just go hang until "happy days are here again." Here's for bigger and better pies, sweet, and more apple sauce and elder奶 from the home state oakchard produce. RUDOLPH WENDELIN, President Women have long demanded equal rights with men. At first they were denied their demands, but in recent years they have gone the limit in asking for a status of equality. They hold important duties to ensure certain fields of business, and have extended their influence into almost every line of business and social enterprise. Our Contemporaries EQUAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN The college date is different from the ordinary date most of us knew when we were in high school, in that the majority of students are going to college on money from home or on borrowed capital. They have very little if any opportunity to earn much of the money spent during a college year. They often get in a same class as the male student, so far as financial problems are concerned. Neither is earning the money he spends. He also does not get in the justice of the present method of financing the college date fall out on the student, who is the male student, who are forced to pay not only the entertainment of their son, but also for that of some—younger students. The load which should justly be divided. But the American co-ed cannot be blamed for giving low-skilled approval to their favorite girl. And the American ed will probably continue for years in his stale manner, let rest on the "so-called." Now comes a movement to make women pay for the privilege of enjoying equal rights, directed chiefly at university women. A bachelor's club was formed in Arizona for the purpose of conducting a drive to make co-ed shares the expense of dates in order to bear through the depression together. It has been estimated there that the average girl now has more money to spend than the man. Arizona is not alone in this attempt to liquidate the 'Frozen date data,' for which we need to keep operations at present at Annapolis, West Point, the University of Pittsburgh, and Arizona. From the Purdue Exponent. Students Eat Less Candy Spinach and Tomatoes Replace Cake and Pie at Missouri --- Columbia, Mo. — (UP) Blame it on the depression if you like like ... it's being held out to students as college remains that university students are ending more and read 'grub' and flower seeds. The trend of eating at the University of Missouri is changing, and we have the testimony of restaurant customers and dishwashers to move it. No longer do cake-layers have the appeal which separates students from the real world. The amount of pie and cake is being consumed this year. The only admission which could be obtained from a downstairs apartment or a house where the few students still eating the pastry soon to prefer the soft, or filk, crust of the variety used fruit and cream. It is better to use cake. And it would also seem that the advice of the dictations is at large being beheaded. Even spainn, stowed to their side, often have a good compulsion, but usually on a student's menu—are being consumed in car-lead lots this year.
