Now Or Never
For The League
, Two very significant state-
ments anDeared in the Associ
ated Press dispatches of Satur-Scott
day Dr. W. W. Yen, chief
Chinese representative in the
League of Nations, filed a for
mal request with the League
Council asking that the Assemr
bly of the League be convoked
and the Chinese charges of Jap
anese aggression be laid before
it. According to the Associated
Press, the "Council of the'League
of Nations sidestepped the issue
until next week" by ref using to
summon the Assembly at once
for fear of offending Japan. An
other dispatch from Tokyo,
speaking of China's formal re
quest to the League, said, "It
was intimated from good author
ity that the (Japanese) govern
ment has ceased to take much
interest or attach much impor
tance to what the League may
do about the Sino-Japanese ques.
tion."
These two statements show
clearly the attitude towards the
League resulting from its weak
and timid policy in the Far
East. The League as Wilson
planned it was to be a strong
international force that could
prevent war. It was to end the
anarchy of international rela
tions by providing a sort of fed
eral government for the world.
It has fallen far short of that
goal, however, and has become
little more than an international
debating society. True, the
League has rendered valuable
service in such matters as regu
lating the opium trade and in
settling disputes among smaller
nations. Now for the first time,
however, it is called upon to in
tervene in a quarrel between two
great nations. The present
Sino-Japanese struggle is the
first real test of the League.
If it handles this situation capa
bly and firmly, the way may be
paved for the formation of a
real and useful international
government which can end war
permanently. If it proves itself
impotent in this crisis; the last
vestiges of respect for the
League will be lost.
So far the League's policy in
gently with Japan when it
should be firmly commanding. It
has refused even to consider the
use of any pressure to force
i "
I ml T 1 l l 1
j. lie j-eague nas no international
police force at nts disposal, as
France has recommended; but
it does have one powerful wea
pon in the form of the economic
boycott which can be used
against any nation waging ag
gressive warfare. There is as
clear a case against Japan today
as the League will ever have
against any nation.
It may possible be that Japan
has had some just cause of com
plaint in Chinese actions in Man
churia, but she has refused ab
solutely to submit any of her al
leged grievances to arbitration
or even to negotiate with China
directly unless China accedes to
many of her demands before the
negotiations begin. Against, the
protests of all the nations of the
world, and in direct violation of
her pledged word not to use
force as an instrument of inter
national policy and to protect the
political independence and ter
ritorial integrity of China, Ja
pan has sent invading armies in
to Manchuria nad Shanghai.
And her actions have been ac
companied by an insolent refusal
even to consider the demands of
China, neutral nations, and the
League that she modify her ac
tions. If the League of Nations is
to permit this action on the part
of Japan, never again can it
command respect from the na
tions of the world. Any other
nation which wishes to wrest
territory from a weaker neigh
bor will not hesitate to do so.
If the League fails in this crisis,
it might as well disband. If, on
the other hand, it chooses to de
clare an effective economic boy-
aainst Japan, it can force
that nation withdraw her
armies irom nma ana wm De
come a powerful force making
for world peace. The crisis is
squarely before the officials of
the League of Nations. It is
now or never for the League.

Necessary For A
College Education
The students on this campus
who failed to hear the lectures
on sex problems given during
the past week by Professor
Groves denied themselves of an
excellent opportunity to v obtain
expert information and advice
on one of the most vital of the
many problems that face the
young person as he approaches
maturity. A majority of young
people, of both sexes, reach man
hood or womanhood with little
real understanding of the great
importance of wholesome sex
adjustment and its influence up
on one's happiness in mature
married life. It is a problem
that faces every one of us, and
yet we accept it gropingly, eith
er frightened at its falsely la
beled mystery or actually ignor
ant of how to face it frankly1
In his lectures Professor Groves
handled the problem of sex
frankly and simply. He gave
an enlightening discussion of per
sonal sex questions that harrass
the normal adolescent, and of
the hetrasexual problems that
must be dealt with by matur
ing men and women and that
play so vital a part in determin
ing the success of married life.
We commend those who were
responsible for arranging this
series of lectures for recogniz
ing the pertinence of instructing
college men and women in a sub
ject that has too long been avoid
ed by . undergraduate curricula
in American colleges. Already
this University offers a course
in family sociology fortunately
under the direction of Profes
sor Groves but it is entirely
optional to a majority of stu
dents and is subject. to certain
restrictions. It is hoped that
the University will not be long
in recognizing the need that
every student has for such in
formation and advice as this
course offers. Such a course
should be placed among the pre
requisites to graduation from
the University. It should be
available to every student who
enters the University, and should
be as important a part of his
education as history or the lan
guages. ;
The belief is too often accept
ed that we seek a college educa
tion for the sole purpose of train-
ing ourselves in order to eke out
a living from the convergence
of economic forces. That is ad
mittedly one of the purposes of
college training, but there is yet
another purpose which is, in a
sense, of even greater impor
tance. Beyond seeking a means
of living one should seek, a prop
er and wholesome manner of liv
ing. It is the duty of the Uni
versity to help the student in
every way possible to achieve
wholesome happiness, and it is
the duty of the student to adjust
himself in such a manner as to
receive from life all that it of
fers.' No such adjustment can
be effected without intelligent
guidance. The graduate who has
failed to make such an adjust
ment is not yet "educated," in
spite of any number of degrees
that he may have credited to his
name.
Little need be said concerning
the obvious -lack of an intelli
gent understanding of sex prob
lems on the part of, American
youth. Its dire results are ap
parent from the number of so
cial crimes and divorces that
disclose themselves every day
But does the guilt not revert to
our educational system in that
we allow our youth to grope un
guided in seeking social adjust
ment? That we should allow
those who are to be the future
bulwark of society to receive the
most sacred and vital informa
tion from the gutter and from
the-lips of the vile and ignor
ant is indeed appalling, r
It is through the American
college that we can hope first to
apply intelligently the work that
is being done by such able lead
ers in the field of family soci
ology as our own Professor
Groves. W.E.U.
The
People
Amidst all of the frenzy and
turmoil of the world today the
voice of "the people'" remains
inarticulate save for futile lit
tle whisperings. In Geneva,
Tokyo, Shanghai, and New York
one is impressed by the fact that
it is the small, self -centered
minority that is guiding the des
tinies of the world.
In Tokyo and in other Japan
ese centers this week there have
been risings led by students de
manding that the "imperialistic
aggression in China be stopped."
These pleas were" silenced by ser
vants of the military, the po
lice, and other weak-minded citi
zens of Nippon who have fallen
prey to the jingoistic clamour of
the war department jfor patriot
ism. War in Chinais not being
waged by the Japanese nation;
rather, it is being carried on by
a small, somewhat short-sighted,
but very shrewd minority of
sword waving militarists. The
Japanese wage a war in defense
of war, it seems, not only on
Chinese soil, but in Japan. . In
ouye, a leader of peace senti
ment in Japan and a likely can
didate for the premiership, was
murdered at the instigation, no
doubt, of the military factions.
Baron Shidehars, of the great
peace triumverafe of the Hama
guchi cabinet, is the only remain
ing prominent leader of peace.
In Japan "the people" are
voicing their disapproval of
war. Even in China there is a
strong sentiment for a peaceful
settlement of the crisis. Both
nations should be and are
strongly partisan, are sensitive,
are proud; and yet they want the recent release by Charles,
peace to stand before every- jScribner's Sons of his latest

lenge to the world that has! worthy has woven his drama

the United States lets "the Ori
entals fight it out" it admits the
futility of mechanisms of peace.
However, if through economic
boycott, through refusing to sell
armaments (a step that Con
gress refused to take), and
through vigorous and sincere
statements of disapproval the
! world can cripple the war ele
ments in Japan 'and China, the
solution of this crisis will be a
great victory for peace and the
conclusions arrived at in Geneva
will be more than mere' verbiage.

THOSE NEW
BOOKS
By J. L. Sehon
Alfred Williams & Co.
To those who are intent on
collecting a library in these
rather difficult times, the "Blue
Ribbon books of Grosset and
Dunlap come as a life saver.
These volumes- are reprints of
worth-while material, attract
ively bound and just as attract
ively priced. Several new ad
ditions to the already well-filled
stacks of Alfred Williams &
company's stacks were made
last week. Foremost among
these is Walt Whitman's Leaves
of Grass, which certainly needs
no introduction. .
. Those who enjoy Lowell
Thomas on the radio will find
his two famous books even more
entertaining. Both Beyond
Khyber Pass and With Law
rence in Arabia can be procured
in the Blue Ribbon edition.
A new release in this same
edition is Christopher Morley's
delightful Parnassus on Wheels. ;
The story of the Bard of Retf
field, a farmer who finds himself
famous overnight by the popular
reception of his literary attempt,
is a thorough good thing to pick
up and sweep out of one's mind
the thoughts of the coming com
prehensives. Another outstanding book of
the day to be found in this Blue
Ribbon collection is the late
Lytton Strachey's Queen Vic
toria. One of the best of the
modern biographers, Strachey
does not "create" interesting in
cidents to weave around his
characters, but sticks close to
the facts, so close in fact that
the history department accepts
his books for .parallel reading.
(Freshmen best heed, especially
if they find it hard to stay awake
over the usual kind of reference j
reading that they take from the :
stacks.)
