The Daily Kenan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Chicago, to take news from the news rooms by standing (or the ideals of) its leaders; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be caring; to have more serious problems to work with; and all to serve to the best of its ability in the pursuit of a common good.
MONDAY JANUARY 7. 192.
A BELATED GREETING
Happy New Year! Perhaps you have forgotten that it is a new year in the confusion of returning to school. But we repeat a Happy New Year, although the greeting is belated.
It is rather late for New Year resolutions, for the majority of people have both made and broken them by now. It is a good time however, to take stock of the pest and consider the future.
This is the time when there is a curious mixture of memories and hopes—memories of uncompleted tasks, of disillusioned hopes, of sordid failures; hopes of worthy accomplishments, of high success and better work. The wise man takes heed of these warnings in attempting to realize his hopes. Otherwise these hopes may turn into sad memories.
New Year is the time when two perspectives meet—the vista of the past and the mirage of the future.
AERIAL DEVELOPMENTS
An expert has calculated that in the United States four and one-half million matches are used daily. It's time for some one to determine the number of vanity cases broken daily.
Walsh's statement was prompted by recent activities of France and Italy toward increasing their air forces.
Senator Walsh's recent challenge to Congress, either to recommend a world conference for the limitation of aerial armaments or to authorize a strong air armada, has not met with great approval.
The Duke of Sutherland, under-
secretary of the British air ministry,
is in this country gathering information about American air mail service. His visit gives occasion for a lesson to be impressed on American minds.
This country, unlike Great Britain and France, has failed to realize that the development of the plane as a war arm must come through commercial development in time of peace.
European governments are encouraging commercial flying. Regular passenger and freight air service is maintained between the important centers in Great Britain and France, and offer real competition with other methods of transportation.
The loss in operation is absorbed by the government, but in return the government is assured of an organized air industry and trained air and ground personnel when they are needed.
An air force in this day is an absolute necessity of national defense, and as it requires at least six months to train an aviator, a condition of unpreparedness in this service is bound to continue unless some training other than that being given by the military and navy establishments is made available.
That training can be supplied through the commercial use of the plane, and that use will follow if the government encourages private enterprise in this field as it is being done in Britain and on the continent.
The first years of commercial fying will be losing years. Ultimately it will pay. Until that time the government can afford to absorb the loss in view of the immense adven-
arge to the national defense of the rained air force that would be available.
The man who sees an opportunity must also seize it.
THE LAST, LONG, WEARY MILE
The last candle has burned low and flickered out; the Christmas decorations have been carted back to the attic; we have bidden home goodbye and are a reunion d family once more. Although students were able to lay aside Hill affairs for a brief two weeks, the Hill did not forget the students. Those who kept watch on Mount Oread say it was indeed a dismal place.
But wasn't it a glorious two weeks with zero and below-zero weather thrown in for good measure? Two such weeks of freedom from the "old grind" should fill every student with renewed vigor and peep enough to last through the next strenuous "three weeks and allow each one to survive the finals with flying colors.
A Dutch court recently granted the ex-Kaiser of Germany 300 gold marks in a lbel suit. By taking similar action in America, he might be able to simplify matters and pay off the German war debt.
AN UNDERSTANDING WITH JAPAN?
The Japanese department of Home Affairs is consulting the foreign office and expects soon to introduce a bill in the Japanese Diet permitting American-born Japanese to renounce their Japanese nationality. The action of the Home Affairs department is due to the representations of many Japanese in America, who insist that double nationality is the leading factor in American exclusion of Japanese. At present, the American-born Japanese is under obligation to serve in the Japanese army.
Should the Japanese Diet take favorable action on this matter, it is probable that better relations between the two great powers of the Pacific would result. At any rate it would show that Japan was adopting a more conciliatory attitude and would put it up to the United States to take the next move, which, if in the wrong direction, might involve serious consequences.
There is one student on the hill who thinks that Yellow Journalism is confined to the boundaries of China.
GUARDING THE YOUTH
"Why Immigration Should be Stopped for Five Years," was the title of an essay writing contest recently conducted by the American Legion. It was open to grade school children, and according to available information some 400,000 children between the ages of 12 and 16 participated in it.
In youth of a nation is centered the future of a country. Its progress or decline depends upon the sort of training it gives to its boys and girls. Now the contest conducted by the Legion does not and can not fit in a sane system of education. The little children who took part in the contests would not and could not think of the problem in economic and social terms.
Being in a highly impressionable period of their life they are apt to obtain these prejudices through their life. Such prejudices may cause friction and race hatred, and can hardly be said to be conducive to any good.
There is another consideration. There are hundreds and thousands of children of foreign parentage in schools. What about their 'feelings'? Becoming conscious at an early age, of discrimination shown against their parents and relatives, their loyalty to America and love for it is quite liable to suffer.
VISITORS AND THEIR QUARRELS
European rulers seem to have a developing craze to see America. Some of the last to declare their intentions of visiting this country next summer are the King and Queen of Spain, Crown Prince Charles, his apparent of Roumania, and Count
Michael Karolyi, first President of the Hungarian Republic.
It is quite natural that they should wish to see America, a land which they have found to be situated at the foot of the rainbow. And they will receive a hearty welcome from little Spain, little Routemouth, and little Hungary in all the cities along their routes.
The only thing the United States should demand is that they leave all their feuds and family quarrels on the other side of Ellis Island.
Javhawks Flown
Miss Anne Dudley Blitz, formerly dean of women at the University of Kansas and now dean of women at the University of Minnesota, and Dean F. J. Kelly, also formerly a member of the K. U. faculty and at present at the University of Minnesota, were speakers at a meeting of K. U. people at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Patterson on the night of Dec. 10 to hear the K. U. radio program. Professor Patterson was formerly of the K. U. faculty. Mrs. Patterson was formerly Margaret Young. A. B. '19.
R. F. Mason, B. S. '21, arrived Monday in Lawrence from Winalow, Ariz., where he is a civil engineer, for a short visit, Mrs. Mason, who was Eleonora A. Ampel, B. A. '19, before marriage, he been visiting here for several weeks.
"As president of the Amarillo, Tex., branch of the American Association of University Women," writes Mrs. Charlotte Howy Watt. A. B. 11, "I hope to be instrumental in establishing public school kindergartens here by next September. There isn't one thing being done in
this city for the unprivileged child below the school age. There are three K. U. people on the charter membership roll; myself, as presi-
dent of the school, have served B. A., 96, and Mrs. Milldred Light Samson, fs'14:17."
Missouri fans are looking forward to Oct. 4, 1924, when they will battle the University of Chicago maroons. This game will give Missouri a chance to land on the football nap of the country.
