FAR EAST TO FIGURE IN ARMS CONFERENCE
Anglo-Japanese Alliance Draw; Attention of U. S. to the Question
"OPEN DOOR" THREATENED
Americans Hope for Show-down on Jap's Aggressive

(United Staff Correspondent)
Washington Nov. 4th--The most imminent and impelling task for the Washington Conference is to prevent the birth of another World War--this time in the Far East
It may also be stated, the honest belief of this government is that before there can be an effective limitation of armament the conference must first remove potent Conference must first remove potent of a future conflict in the Far East.
Thus is explained the reason that prompted the American government to provide for a discussion of Pacific and Far Eastern questions inference in the institution of Armament, and view of teaching a solution of these problems.
This also answers the question that is believed to have been in the minds of a large part of the American people—"Why was the Far East injected into the conference?" The answer given to this question, however, proves that the United States government is there of the United States going to war over Far East questions?
Speculation about what issues might cause a war in the Far East and what powers might become embroiled is dangerous, and, of course not humanly possible to forecast accurately.
But there is no doubt the United States and Japan have more reasons to feel concerned about the possibility of nuclear war. East than any other two powers.
The United States is utterly opposed to this alliance.
Japan might be warranted, or feel so, in calling on her ally, Great Britain, to come to her aid in the event of such a conflict, under the terms of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance.
It is true that the United States is indirectly exempted from the application of this phase of the alliance, but, equally true that this indirect exemption is not to the entire satisfaction of this country. In the 1911 renewal of the Alliance, it was provided by Article IV, "Should either High Contracting Party constitute a treaty nothing in this agreement shall entail upon such Contracting Party an obligation to go to war with the power with whom such treaty of arbitration is in force."
Article 2 of the alliance provides that "if *I* "it is," either High Contracting Party (either Japan or Great Britain) should be involved in war in defense of its territorial rights or special interests", the other option would be that all alliances once come to the assistance of itally, and will conduct the war in common, and make peace in mutual agreement with it."
This provision was put in the alliance so that Great Britain would not be called upon to go to war against the United States, as Great Britain
negotiated a convention of general arbitration with this country, which, however, failed of ratification by the American Senate, and, consequently, is not in force. There is a treaty of limitation between the United States and Great Britain, however, but the United States government does not regard this convention as applying technically to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance.
The policies of the United States and of Japan in the Far East are almost in direct opposition. No power has violated the American policy of the "Open Door" in the Far East as Japan, with her network of economic privileges, exclusive concessions and monopolies in China.
Likewise, Japan has done more to enreach on the administrative integrity, and probably the territorial integrity, of China than any other power, while the United States has always sought to preserve the administrative and territorial integrity of China.
As a result of the break-up of the Russian empire, Japan holds under her military sway a vast area of Russia territory in Siberia, with the United States and the Soviet Union. Japan's insultative policy will lead her to take next toward annealing this rich field for Japanese expansion.
Japan's activities in the Far East have led to repeated protests from the United States. Japan probably believes the United States would never
take any direct action over a Fa Eastern issue. Thus American protests become less and less effectual. The American government hopes a "show-down" will come in the limitation of armament conference.
Business Depression is Widespread Over Chile
Santiago, Chile, Nov. 4. —(United Press)—It begins to look as if the present financial crisis will deprive Santiago of its annual grand opera season. The Chilean shares with brother Latin an Italian share for grand opera, but apparent that this passion not equal to pawning the dancers or the family jewels in to support an operatic season during a period of slack business.
The jewelry and art goods business here has also practically stopped. The only ones who appear to be diamonds and other ornified bargin hunters, few or no member, who are taken apart in the fall of prices. Many厘tumed and moderately circumnutaled Chilean families have placed their family jewelry with jewelers for sale. It is possible to obtain one-carat white diamonds as ninety or one hundred pieces in American museums. American and British jewelers are the principal owners of the diamonds.
Well made men's shoes on snappy American style last sells from $4 to $6 a pair; tailor made suits of good woolen cloth at $20 to $30, with overcoats at the same price; shirts of good materials at $1.50 to $2, and made to measure in the best offers for from $3 to $8. In spite of the low prices there is come little buying. The period of business depression has caused such unemployment and wages are low.
Talks Given by Two Members Debate Plans Completed
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS MEET
At the regular meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers held in Marvin Hall Thursday night talks were given by A. B. Covey, 23 on "Electrical Welding" and by L. B. Shagra, 24 after a lecture. After these talks Prof. G. C. Shadd discussed the two topics further.
The plans for the debate between the mechanicals and electricals were decided upon during the business meeting. The subject that the federal government should own and operate all telephone and telegraph lines for public service within the boundaries of the United States. Tryouts will be held by the electricians with so few candidates that will take place before Christmas.
The A. I. E. e has formed an orchestra of eight pieces which will play at meetings and at the electrical banquet in the spring. They hope to have several more pieces before the year is over. Violins are especially needed as none have been found so far.
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Eaton of Gardner, spent the week-end with their daughter, Ruth Eaton, fa 25.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Nelson, of Salina were here for the Kansas-Agric game and visited with relatives in Lawrence. "Fat" Johnson is a physician in Salina, and is a member of the class of '01.

ROSENOW INTERPRETS
INTELLIGENCE TESTS
Explains That Educators Are Investigating for Guidance in Future Work
The letter which follows is a letter received by the Editor of the daily Kanan from Prof. Curt Rosenow explaining the reason for the Intelligence Tests.
To the editor of the Daily Kansas:
In view of the interest which has been manifested in the psychological tests the schedule for which appear elsewhere in this issue, I wish to make a statement regarding them.
The purpose of these tests is not primarily to obtain an intelligence rating for each and every individual student, nor does any well informed psychologist believe that a definite final judgment about the intelligence of each and every individual tan be made upon the basis of these tests alone. I discuss the value of these errors for the individual student'sorrow. Right now I wish to tell that the chief value of these tests lies in the information which they furnish about the relative intelligence of groups of students.
For example, it is a well known fact that the attendance at our American Colleges and Universities has been increasing by leaps and bounds during the last two decades. Many of us have thought that this increase in numbers has been accompanied by a deterioration in quality. Whatever inference might be drawn from this fact, it is worth knowing which, or not it is a fact, and the intelligence tests held in general use have increased during the past twenty years, we would know instead of having to guess. For the average test score of a group of 1000 students is a perfectly reliable measure of the average intelligence of those 1000 students. In a few years time, we shall know whether the average intelligence of the students coming to the University of Kansas is increasing, decreasing, or remaining stationary. We shall know immediately how the average intelligence of our companies with the average intelligence of high school seniors. Are they receiving the cream of the high school seniors? Or are they going elsewhere, and are we receiving the drives? Or are we receiving a fair average?
Coming now to the case of the individual student I have said that a final judgment of his intelligence cannot be made upon the basis of these tests alone. We also know that the tests establish a very definite presumption in many cases. Unfortunately that presumption is stronger in the case of those making poor scores than for the others, and this poor showing at the tests, it is fairly certain that his intelligence is inferior, but if he

A student may be doing inferior work, but may have a fair or even a good score at the tests. He will be told that the department of psychology of this University is prepared to study him intensively and to advise him regarding the course he should pursue. If he chooses to avail himself of this opportunity, the level of his studies must be further study of this particular individual and he will be advised accordingly. If he does not choose to subject himself to further study, the University will simply uphold its standards of scholarship and will have no further concern with the intelligence of this particular individual. If he does desire aid, the true level of his intelligence will be established and whatever it turns out to be, the effort will be made to help him to succeed in academic conditions and requirements.
makes a very good score at the tests, it is not nearly so certain that he is appreciably above the average. And if he makes an average score, it is entirely possible, though not highly probable, that he may be either quite stupid or well above the average. In these tests must be used with great
The student of distinctly superior ability is left to shift very largely for himself except so far as individual members of the faculty may take a special interest in him. So far no special affairs have been made by the University to help him to make the most of himself. And yet it is so far easier to give such assistance to the University should do all it can to aid such a student in developing his potentialities than that it should deviate its energies to prodding inferior students into doing barely passable work. Supplemented by other administrative devices these tests will enable the administration to begin a systematic attack upon this important problem. Curt Howse
John Wahstedt, A. B. 21, has been a visitor at the University for the last day or two. He is at present in the employ of the Western Electric Company in Chicago. He visited some of the classes in the School of Engineering Thursday and gave them short talks on his work and the operation of the plant. He coordinated the plant. He spends only a short period each day in actual work, the rest of the time being spent in study of methods in the plant.
