C THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1931 a : a & 1 1 H V I -J S3 Is Kevieve To Prevent Poisoning University Minds Anonymous Writer Gives v History of Way United States, England, and France Have Treated China and Japan. -o 1 Since the Sino-Japanese con flict started, the American peo ple have been fed with the ever welcome pie of hypocritical sen timentality to such an extent that it becomes the duty of hon est people who know the histori cal background and the actual situation in the Far East to di-jhand out some more wholesome and substantial food, even though it does not appeal to weakened stomachs and spoiled appetites. j In order to prevent, or at least counteract, further poisoning of the minds of our University students by an anti-Japanese propaganda of political wire pullers, or ignoramuses, two im portant points may be stressed today, illustrating the "sincer ity" of the League of Nations' attempt to settle in peaceful and fair way the Far East contro versy: I. The camouflaged , robberies, committed during the last cen tury by the "Great" "Christian" Powers against the same China which they now pretend with such a suspicious anxiety to de fend against the unchristian Japs; II. A sketch of the treatment, by their own allies England, France, and the United States of the Japanese heathen, who had beenesieeme'cf worthy cham pions of the cause of civilization and "demockery." I. Englajndand France The "Defenders" of China 1. England takes Hongkong after the Opium War in 1812. 2. England "obtains" lease of Kaulung Peninsula in 1861. 3. France annexes three provinces in Cochin China in 1867. 4. France takes Tonking and Annam in 1885. 5. England takes Burma in 1886. 6. France "secures" conces sion for the Yunnan, railway in 1897. , 7. England "declares" the Yangtse Valley hdjr sphere of interest in 1898. 8. France "leases" Kwang chow Bay in the same year. 9. France "declares" South China her sphere of interest, April, 1898. 10. England, to make her position secure, recognizes the German, sphere of influence in Shantung in the same month. 11. England "leases" Weihai wei, July, 1898. 12. Italy demands in vain NO ANARCHIST PARTY The Daily Tar Heel hangs its head in shame this morning. Yesterday there appeared in this portion of the paper an announcement to the effect that students interested in anarchy should assemble in Graham Memorial last night for organiza tion. We had depended upon the sense of humor of the, student body to rise manfully to the height we sought. It is to be understood that anarchy is "that state of society where there is no organization," and that anarchy is "confusion and disorder." Further, humor is defined as being "that faculty of discovering, expressing, or appreciating the ludi crous or incongruous." What was our chagrin when we "discovered that the curious idle of the campus actually did attend such a meeting to organize against organization never can be wholly revealed. There can be no party or organization of anarchists, an archism being a protest against all organization and an absolutely individual thing. For those who have forgotten, a hoax is a "practical joke." Edgar Allen Poe in his day startled the world with his famous balloon hoax entitled "The Wonderful Adventures of One Hans Pf aal," and it is to be remembered that news papers caused the world to celebrate an armistice November 7, 1918, exactly four days before the armistice was actually signed. But the hoax is upon the Tar Heel now. &U ' l II I L- lease of Sammun Bay, 1899. This list, giving only a part of the "leases," "rights,", "con cessions," etc., which England and France "secured" in the most friendly "cooperation," proves beyond any doubt the sincerity of these two mightiest colonial powers, who, to quote a recent book, "virtually helped themselves to whatever appealed to their fancy or their sense of usefulness and are now pro tecting not China but their own interests, extorted from China, by obstructing, with the use of humanitarian phrases, every at tempt of Japan to-emulate their Christian maste-teachers' effect ive methods of "peaceful pene tration." II. England and France The Allies of Japan One of the much heralded achievements of the Washington Conference on "Pacific and Far Eastern Problems," in 1921-22, was the resolution that "the status quo in the Far East should be preserved." By what ignominious means this "status quo" has been created, chapter I helps to divine. This resolu tion means : highway robbery is legalized and santified, its plun der eternalized. For, of the territories annexed by England andn France, none was 'returned to the rightful , owner, China. However, to prove to the world their anxiety to protect and help China, tne German rights m Shantung were handed over, not to the Japanese who conquered it for the allies, but to China, in spite of Article 156 in the Ver-. sailles Treaty, which reads: . "Germany renounces, in favor of Japan, all her rights, titles and privileges which she ac quired in virtue of the treaty concluded by her with China on March 6, 1898 . . ." and which were officially " recognized by England the next month. Thus two treaties were made "scraps of paper" by the allies the treaty between China and Ger many and the Versailles Treaty. J ust as overcrowded Italy, which needs colonies as outlets for its increasing population, was ex cluded from Asia and Africa by its own allies, in spite of its de sire and begging for a slice of tle big Versailles cake, Japan, whose inhabitants must have additional territory or must starve, was to be deprived of the fruits of its victory by its two bigger allies, who added all the (Continued on last page) 1 ar iasE . or Stadents Union Lounge Room Is Extensively Used Many students have made it a practice to visit the" lounge room of Graham Memorial be tween the hours of 7:30 and 8 :00 when informal recitals are given.

NUMBER 2S NEW PLAYIIIAKER DRAMA TO OPEN SEASONJONIGHT "Saturday's Children" to Be Pre sented at 8:30, was Success In New York Run. The final complete dress re hearsal of Saturday's Children was given yesterday evening, and everything is in readiness for the opening performance to night at 8 :30 in the Playmakers Theatre. Saturday's Children was pre sented first in January, 1927 by Guthrie McClintic as his initial production for the Actor's Thea tre in New York. It was an im mediate success and ran long into the summer. The success came at a time when the play wright, Maxwell Anderson, needed encouragement, for his plays, The White Desert and Outside Looking In, had only brought him disappointment. Burns Mantle in selecting it one of his "Ten Best Plays of the Season" wrote the following pre face: ' "Under the direction of Mc Clintic, the new Maxwell Ander son comedy, Saturday's Chil dren, was immediately accepted by those arbiters of the drama's fate, the press and the public, as a success." It was in many ways the most important success of the year." ' Three settings for the play (Continued on last page) POLIGE SYSTEMS XONDEWDBYDI Senate Also Sponsors Distribu tion of Birth Control Litera ture to Married Persons. In their fifth meeting of the year which took place Tuesday night, the members of the Dia lectic Senate condemned over whelmingly the present police system of the United States as "corrupt and inefficient." Senator Fleming-Jones con tended that it was not the police system but rather the judicial system that was at fault while Senators Little and Rector, laid the blame on the police. Senator Simmons was also against the police system. In the vote only three senators voted against the bill, which state that the police system of the United States is corrupt and inefficient. Birth Control Bill The bill, Resolved: That the dissemination of birth control information to married persons at the discretion of doctors be legalized," was . passed without discussion. Senator Rector, by means of a motion which he later withdrew, announced the fact that a party system would be organized in the senate as a means of stimu lating more interest in discus sion. No Buccaneers Yet The review of the forth coming October Carolina Buc caneer which was carried in yesterday's edition of the Daily Tar Heel was the re sult of misinformation. The staff reviewer had obtained a copy of the October, 1897 Buccaneer, the remarks on excellency of make up, pro portions and delivery thus re sulting. The regular October issue of the magazine has been promised before Novem ber 10th.
