Fukusato, Japanese student in the economics de partment, prepared the following talk, which was read in assembly yester day morning by Bob' Barnett.) It gives me greatpleasure to have, an opportunity to express one of my first impressions of the United States. I only have fifteen minutes, in which to do this. I spent only five months in America. My command of Eng lish is very poor, therefore I will not be able to express my impressions very distinctly.', I shall trespass on your pa tience for a few minutes. When I left Japan for the United States, my friend told me that America is a country of "Ladies' first." You must respect the ladies, especially American ladies, as they will have you brought into court if you are rude to them; and you are sure to lose a law suit though you have many rea sons for winning a law suit, be cause the American courts up hold the rights of the woman, they are all feminist. And fur thermore, when you wish to cross the streets of Chicago, or New York City with safety, you must walk just behind a lady, as Americans will not run over a lady. On the other hand, I read The Impressions of America, which was written by a Japanese there is chapter in book that said, "If there is a lady by your side at the table, never neglect attention to the lady." These circumstances above mentioned were very wonderful custom for the Japanese-es-pecially me who did not know American affairs because Japan is a country of "man first." In Japan man pays respect to the appearing in ' . Sunday's Daily Tar Heel Trustee Sketch on Josephus Daniels A Trip Through the University Laundry Scholarships, Fellowships, and Kenan Pro fessorships at the University 'Ladies First' ladies, too, but it has been con tinued in Japan from one thou sand years ago an idea which a woman should, when at home, obey her father: when married. obey her husband; and, whenScherz0 "bv Daniel von Goens old, obey her son. It is caused from the idea of Buddhism. In Japan the men are more respected than the women. At all the formal meetings the men occupy the seats of honour. it is custom tnat tne men are first to go in and out of door and the women walk gently after the men. A Japanese woman has no right to vote and eligibility for election. Of course, a woman never complains to a law-court if a man is rude to her. If a woman would do so, the papers would make much of the affair as a unique and grotesque af fair. The women who has not a feminine Judge would not have a possibility of winning a law suit. I heard at Chapel Hill Ameri can girl would "thrash" a boy who tried to kiss her if she did not want to accept his kiss. In such cases Japanese girls never "thrash" the boy friend, she would run away or say that she do not want. One is posi tive, other is negative. Love is not war. . I am looking at it as a unique custom that at the doorway of the Library the girl is first poised looking askance at boy, as a queen would do, as the boy opens the door for her benefit and follows after her as a faith ful servant. Boy student keeps the door open with his hands for her benefit at the doorway of the Library until he sees if there is a girl behind him.

EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS- IN EAST ILL-ADAPTED Educational systems in Japan and China, too academic and too i i i 1 1 occiaentaiizeo. , since tney were barred bodily from Europe and America, are ill-adapted to conditions existing in those countries, claimed President L. Crawford of the University of Hawaii last month after a trip to Japan and China. "The rank and file of the col leges and university graduates do not fit their environment," he said, adding that the Japanese are making many -educational experiments. PROFESSOR F. H.

Woosley, speak ing at the economics seminar Wednesday evening, declared that price declines, a curtailed volume of physical production, reduced corporate earnings, cash withdrawals from banks, and a general impairment of confid ence produced by the mounting tide of bank failure were con tributory factors in the organi zation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

It was in dicated that a maximum amount of two billion dollars might be made available to" the corpora tion by the subscription of a capital stock of $500,000,000; by the federal government and the subsequent sale of the corpora tion's own obligation to an amount not to exceed 1,500,- 000,000.
