Pan-Pacific Meet Hears Resolutions and Final Speech
Conference Makes Ple for Philippine Liberty; Asks for Racial Tolerance
The Pan Pacific Conference of colleges in eastern Kansas cured at end on Sunday following the reports of the decisions and resolutions reached by the various groups working on the problems of population and immigration, economic, political, cultural and religious relationships between t nations.
The conference resolved that if the presence of aliens in any nation became harmful it was only right that that nation should restrict immigration. That the quota allowed to Astalis be put on as basis among nations by the United States was a unanimous decision.
The Japanese, the findings of the conference, the Philippines have a government of sufficient stability to meet the requirements of the Jones bill which guarantees their independence; and it was also agreed that the United States should enter into negotiations with Japan and other nations to protect this freedom. Compared with the French, the severance of that country from the British colonial empire was favored by a majority of the delegates.
A resolution passed with regard to the control of population which would make so much emigration unnecessary stated that the best possible means of solving the problems of over-population are education in birth control, modification of religions which oppose restriction of birth, raising the standard of birth, education and mutual co-operation of world nations to secure the most satisfactory distribution of natural resources.
Body Hits Racial Prejudice
Body Hits Racial Prejudice
It was pointed out that the low wages of the Asian immigrant was less than the high wages of the advantage of their helplessness. Also that inter-marriage would be possible and would prove a great benefit when racial antipathies were dropped, when through education there would be social approval, and when the idea of the races pure had been ordained.
FOUR PAGES
To improve the friendly feeling between people of different nations and the United States the body recommended continued and increased exchange of professors and students translation and study of books of other countries and cultures, and a revision of the present text-books to present a world attitude rather than a selfish, nationalistic propaganda.
Cite Hrm of Missionaries
A resolution was passed stating that foreign missionaries are entitled to the benefits they have a desire for international good will, a willingness to help build up the native culture, religion, and literature, instead of disregarding them, a determination to avoid foregoing dogmas of the church, people, and no alliance with economic imperialist interests
Some of the charges made against missionaries were that they misrepresented the peoples and countries they visited on returning home, that they do not understand the native culture, and that they have the way for economic and political imperialism.
To offset the resulting disadvantages of missionary work some of the good effects of the work were cited. It was admitted that missionaries created international relationships, improved living conditions with the aid of medical science and education, caused native literatures to be interpreted and translated raised the status of missionaries as an improvement in agriculture and industry, and shared their experience with others.
Arthur Rugh Gives Talk
The last session of the conference was closed by a talk by Arthur Rugh, secretary of the foreign department of the Y. M. C. A., We can away differing in attitudes and perfect harmony in our feeling and emotion," Mr. Rugh said. "Transportation made it impossible for us to live to ourselves. We must live with each other and it depends on us whether we fight or whether we are friendly with all peoples."
"Inter-racial hatred is almost always caused by selfish propaganda as is demonstrated in California," Mr.

Norman Thomas to Address Y.W.C.A.in Fraser
“Unsolved Problems of Peace” will be the subject of an address by Norman Thomas, contributing editor of The Nation and The World Tomorrow, at the W. H. Wilson Conference at 4:50 in Prairie hall. The meeting is open to both men and women. The address by Mr. Thomas will be followed by a period of open discussion, Constance Nuckles, c28, newly elected president, will preside. “We feel that Mr. Thomas, the subject,” said Mayne Riley, c27, chairman of the vespers committee. “Some of the students have been asking for information that might guide them in a decision as to what students may do on this topic.” He was a good time for such a meeting.” Plans have been made to follow the meeting Tuesday by a meeting next week. At that time student presentations on “What Should I Do If There Should Be Another War?” will be held.
Phi Mu Alpha, national music fraternity, hold initiation ceremonies in Fraser chapel at 9 p. m. Sunday. The following men were initiated: John Goran, of Burlington; Pearson, uncle, e.t. of Herbertion and J. Allan Minger, c'28, of Bern.
Rugh continued, "and our geographies and texts books, the press, and militaristic forces further distort the facts."
A common gathering ground—the only one possible, according to Mr. Rugh, would be the brotherhood of Jesus Christ. "Christ belongs to no one nation but is loved by all," he said.
"Militarism is an utter denial and contradiction of Christianity. We can't all agree but we can all be of one big, happy, loving family hold together by the bonds of Christianity." Mr. Rugh concluded.
Dr. Alva Taylor was chairman of the first half of the session and Charles H. Corbett of the last half.
Missouri Glee Men Win Second Place in National Meet
Connecticut School Gets First Honors to Tie Yale in Race for Cup
The glee club representing the University of Missouri won second place at the national glee club contest sponsored by the National Glee Association. This is the best any Valley club has done in the past.
Wesleyan University, middleton,
Conn., won first place with a total
score of 241, Missouri was second
with 222.2 points, and Yale won third
place honors with a final total of
89.0 points on a basis of a possible
300 points.
Wesleyan is now tied with the Yale organization in the race for permanent possession of the cup. Each club has two legs on the trophy, Wesleyan and Harvard are years later. Yale placed first in 1924 and 1925.
Kansas Song User
The Wesleyan group sang "The Long Day Closed" by Sir Arthur Sully-Saxen. The song was used by the Kansas club in 1924, and 1925. The Yale organization used "The Morning Hymn" by George Hanschel. This was the prize song of the 1924 contest.
"The tone quality of Wesleyan was wonderful," said Professor Larrimore this morning. "While the club seemed to have too much slurring and an utter disregard for tempo, they possessed confidence and case that added them in placing first in such an excellent group of students." The word "wonderful performance" and they rendered their "Alma Mater" in a most excellent way. They are a credit to the Missouri Valley Club Association."
Valley Clubs Improve
It is the prediction of Professor Larremore that the winner of next year's Valley contest will be trained. The Missourt Valley clubs are steadily improving, he says, and the annual contest numbers have been a gradual improvement.
Ernest B. Conant, professor of law at Washington University, and vice president of the Missouri Valley Club Association, made a true prophecy to Professor Larroremore following the joint Missouri-Kansas concert at Columbia last fall. "The club that beat the Kansas club," said Mr. Conant, "will win the Missouri Valley contest and the group that beat the Valley contrant in the national contest will win the national honor." The Kansas team was barely beaten by Missouri in the Valley contest, and Westyan had to beat the Missouri club to win the national title.
Professor Larremore is highly optimistic over the chances for a winning club at Kansas next year. More of the previous year's organization will be back next year than were back last year, according to the club director.
Boulder, Colo., March 14—The first three days are the hardest," was the lament expressed over the telephone today by Thomas Marshall, hardy freshman quarantined in a sorority basketball game at the University of Colorado.
Freshman Grows Weary of Life at Sorority
"But the worst is over," Marshall said, with a tone of extreme weariness in his voice.
It all started last Wednesday when the luckless Marshall went to call upon a woman at the Tri Delta house. He had hardly entered the door, when a health officer quarantined the house for scarf fever.
"Ive led a dog's life ever since," Marshall sighed. "They are all nice girls, all fifteen of them, but still I don't think it was fair that they made me wash the dishes every night, and the way they blackened fudge pans was always dirty (and easy)" Marshall admitted, although he still held that his luck was rotten.

Phi Delta Theta Guest Is Held by City Police; Charged as Imposter
Accusation Includes Forgeries in Lawrence and Recently in Kansas City
After being treated as a guest for four days at the Phi Dhl Theta house, an alleged imposter who gives his name as Edward Bramitt, «C. S. Louis», is today resting in the Douglas county jail. The police think his real name is Cole and he was arrested for buying checks for $50 at Ace's Clothing Company, and one for $50 at the Kansas City Athletic Club.
Cole introduced himself last Wednesday night at the Phi Delt leonre as Bramilt, a Phil Delt at Washington University, St. Louis. Reports from St. Louis say that the real Bramilt had lost his bill folder and identification card, and that they have been picked up by Cole.
It was explained at the Pti Du house here that Cole had become known as "Santa Claus" because of his acts of philanthropy in the arena. He gave a gold pencil to one man and another piece of clothing applied to others.
Cole explained that his father was head surgeon of the Lackwawn railroad and a wealthy man. His actions became so suspicious that St. Louis was called. Cole returns to the office until he "concludes his lawyer."
Foreign Policy Discussed
Taylor Speaks to Pan-Pacific on Nicaraguan Revolt
"Our gravest international situation is with Nicaragua and Mexico," Alva W. Taylor declared during a talk at the University of Pennsylvania held in the Plymouth Congregational church Friday night. "Wherever the American dollar goes, the United States goes there to protect it, is the policy that is back of our troubles with Mexico and Nicaragua," he said. "We have had a revolution in Nicaragua was between the old landed aristocratic government, backed by such big American interests as the United Fruit Company, and the so-called liberais constituting the laboring class, the immigrants, and the mass of the people.
The Mexican government denies having sold war supplies to the liberals of Nicaragua, with whom it is in sympathy, and Nicaragua herself says that she has obtained orders from California, according to Doctor Taylor.
In connection with the Mexican oil companies, Mr. Taylor said that most of the American companies who had refrained from registering their leases had done no because the leases were fraudulent and had been made for speculation. Under a law of 1917 no foreign interest can buy land and retain the right to own oil facilities. The company granted and a 30-year renewal if the oil has not been exhausted at the end of the 50-year period.
League Committee Is to Draft Plans for Limiting Arms
United States Participate With Desire of Publicity for Production Privately
(United Press)
Genève, March 14—A special commission composed of all of the states represented on the council of the League of Nations convened here today for the purpose of drafting an international convention for the control of the private manufacture of war material.
Both the United States and Russia were also invited to participate on the commission. Although the United States notified the League that the American constitution does not give the federal government control of the manufacture of war material, in the various states, the United States agreed to participate with the understanding that the conclusion will involve the fullest publicity, by every country involved in any agreement which may be reached, of statistics on the private production of war material.
Conference to Be Summoned
The convention which the commission that met today will draw up will later be submitted to all of the world for their observations and when these have been sent in to the Secretary, an international conference will be summoned for the purpose of adopting and launching the convention. It is hardly likely this conference will be held before fall, although a large number of the states are insisting it take place before the deadline or order to demonstrate that the League is making concrete progress towards disarmament.
The question of government control of the private manufacture of war material was one of the specific duties given the League by the Vertebrate Farmers, a group that farmers that the private production of war material constitutes one of the leading causes of war, as large houses like the Krupps have very interest to promote their war material in order to find a market for their products.
Problem becomes a challenge.
The problem, however, has become a more serious one to scale than was at first anticipated. The fact that the United States is constitutionally unable to exercise any control over individual manufacturers in its different states has caused other larger producing nations to make it known that they cannot exercise any control or limitation over their producers as that would merely confer on the United States a world monopoly.
As a consequence the convention that will be drawn up by the League council commission which convened today will aim principally at two objects: first, the supervision of the private manufacture of war material, which will be instructed for each unit to secure a rule from his respective government; and secondly, publicity relative to manufactured armaments.
Under the latter provision each government would be required to issue quarterly reports showing all war material that is being manufactured in the country and submitting the constitutes ships by private ship-building companies.
Production Record Devised
It is believed that under this system every nation would be able to see just how much war material is being produced by private companies in every country; just where this war material is being produced, what indication there is of the making preparations for war by heavy purchases of war material abroad.
Leaguers are confident that the great majority of the nations, even when laboring under certain constitutional restrictions like the United States, will be able to accept such a convention and that it will attain all of the desired ends in wiping out this particular cause of war.

Woman Voters' League Practical Organization, Says Prof. F. H. Guild
State Meeting Here This Week Declared an Opportunity for K. U. Students
"The League of Women Voters is more than a fad or 'sam!'," said Prof. F. H. Guild, of the political science department this morning. "It is an opportunity for the intelligent woman to discuss with experts questions which bother her with respect to politics." The National League of Women Voters is a well-manned organization which can adequately fill this need.
"The present-day college woman, after graduation seeks something beyond the more frivolous activities of the ordinary woman's club with which to occupy her attention. Hence the meetings of the League to be held in Lawrence this week should be of interest to the women of the University, will soon be by this diploma. Particularly interesting will be the new women's lunchroom which is being planned especially for University students."
The luncheon is to be at the Thimble Theatre tea room Wednesday at 12:15. Miss Belle Sherwin of New York, president of the national league, will give the main address. Her subject will be "Why Women Are Interested in Politics." Other speakers include Dr. Louis, and Miss Staina Haines of Augusta, the only woman member of the Kansas legislature.
The regular session of the convention will open tomorrow morning at the Thimble Theater. At this time Mrs. Wendell Becker, director of care of war, held in Washington last December, will be presented by Mrs. E. B. Mauck of Emuprior. Prof. H. B. Chubb, of the department of political science, will present the International Situation of Today."
Round table discussions will be held at the close of the morning session. In the afternoon Miss Sherwin will speak on "Relations of National to State and Local League." Mrs. C, J. Evans, of Topeka, president of the state organization, will speak on "Neal Gershner," from the State's Viewpoint."

America's Future, Subject of Talk Today by Thomas
Convocation Speaker Says Economic Superiority Tends to Cause Imperialism
"The problem facing America today, is that of finding a way to handle her economic superiority in a way that is not imperialistic," said Norman Thomas of New York City, who spoke at the all-University convention this morning on "The Future of America."
Mr. Thomas came to the University through the combined efforts of the convocation committee and the Y. M. C. A. He is a graduate of Prince George's College, where he served on the Brick Presbyterian church in the York, editor of The World Tomorrow, and contributing editor to The Nation and the New York Leader. He is now executive director of the Language Center at The University, and chair at the University.
Freedom and Progress Clash
Freedom and Progress Clash According to Mr. Thomas, the United States is finding it difficult to keep her ideal of freedom consistent with progress. "America has been the downfall country in the last decade through economic condition," he said. "And few things are harder to stand than great power. Many a man and country has been spoiled by t.
"The attitude of this country today is one of law and order, in place of liberty," Mr. Thomas explained, "America needs to examine herself. Before the war, her attitude was one of a sort of beneficial indulgence. Since then, he has been producing more than she can buy. The tendency has been that she drives driven on people who have no military force to prevent it. And she has been searching for sources of raw materials. Such economic seeking has been the beginning of all great imperialisms.
"Our point of view toward other countries today is that of those who have money and power. It is natural for men to consult primarily their own interests, regardless of morals," he said. "We normalize their actions afterwards."
"The world is tied together by economic interdependence," he said. "If America is to be true to her principles of peace and liberty, she must supervise in a way not imperialistic." "This can be done by a painstaking cultivation of friendship with foreign countries. A show development of cooperation is more valuable than a mere development of might or power."
University Students Should Aid Mr. Thomas said: "It is the business of men and women now being educated at the expense of the state, to see how they can use their knowledge in the preservation of friendship and peace. The way of peace is inter-interpretation of ideas of thought."
Mr. Thomas will speak at the University club tion and at the Y. M. C. A. luncheon forum in Myers hall on Friday. The forum will be "Why I Am a Socialist." According to "Ted" Shultz, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., a single tickets for the forum should be purchased in number.
