group of actors with: "No bet
ter acting has been seen on an
Atlanta stage in years, although
no 'star' was featured on the
program. They are all able
actors, and even the most unim

value. As a result, the presen

Opinions Of Newspaper Editors Vary
AH Agree That United States
York World-Telegram Commends American Policy for Taking Initiative in Sending Warn
ing Note to Japan When Great Britain and France Remain on Side of Militarists.
. o ,
By Ralph W. Trueblood
(Managing editor of The Los Angeles
Times.)
The Times does not favor a
commercial ooycott on japan
Aot extreme onense.
Unquestionably the united
States should do everything hon-
orably possible to avoid war
with Japan, though there is no
doubt as to the ultimate outcome
of such a war. Japan is in no
financial , condition to carry
through, prolonged hostilities.
It is possible but not probable
that the world powers wouia co-
operate in armed intervention,
unless with the consent and co
operation of. both China and
Japan. ,
Undoubtedly there is .some
feeling in Japan against the
United States because of the
Portsmouth treaty and because
of our immigration restrictions.
The Times regards the latter as
an unjustified and unnecessary
affront to a friendly nation and
favors putting Japan on a quota
basis. The objection to' Japan's
present policy in China, from the
standpoint of the United States,
is that it is an obvious violation
of the nine power treaty in
which this country joined with
Japan and others in guarantee-,
ing the national sovereignity
and territorial integrity - of
China. I do not consider that
failure on the part of the League

(EDITOR'S NOTE: The Daily
Tar HeeL regrets that it was unable
to print this series of articles on the
proposed Japanese boycott resulting
from the critical conditions in the Far
East before the definite change in the
situation. Nevertheless, these state
ments show a composite American
opinion on an ever-present question.)
(Excerpts from editorials appearing
in The New York World-Telegram
sent in by Lee B. Wood, executive
editor.)
"The economic boycott by the
United States and the League of
Nations against Japan proposed
by a group of university presi
dents and Newton D. Baker
presents a difficult -problem to
the American government.
"If President Hoover acts
favorably on the petition he
should first safeguard the
United States from the grave
danger of being, isolated by
Great Britain and France and
left alone with the burden of ac
tion against Japan. ,
"We say this despite our be
lief that such a boycott has long
been called for.
"Having been a vigorous cri
tic from the beginning of the
early Hoover-Stimson do-nothing
policy of the Far East, which is
partly responsible for the un
hindered Japanese conquest of
Manchuria and the barbarous
attack on Shanghai, The World

partisan in support of the pres

SUMMER SCHOOL
PLANS CALL FOR
DOUBLE SESSION
No Reduction in Number of Courses,
States Walker; Teachers' Bureau
To Be Continued.
The University is planning a
two-term summer school, pro
jected along the same lines as
last year, without reduction in
number of courses, Director
Nathan W. Walker has an
nounced. The first term will
begin June 9 and end August 26.
A bulletin announcing' plans
has already gone out, and Direc
tor Walker says the number of
inquiries and room reservations
that have come in already make
attendance prospects bright.
The summer school catalogue,
carrying courses to-be offered
and other details was sent out
last week.
"Board has been materially
reduced, and room-rent was low
already," Director Walker said
when asked how expenses would
compare with last year's costs.
Asked about extra features,
he said that the new Graham
Memorial building, completely
and attractively fitted out as a
student activities center, would
be open to summer school stu
dents for the first time, and that
social and recreational activi
ties would center there instead
of at the "Y" as heretofore. .
The Teachers' Bureau, 'he
said, will be continued' for the
benefit of teachers seeking posi
tions. "

As To
Boycott On Japan
Avoid War With Japan, and New
By Clark Howell
(Editor and general manager of
The Atlanta Constitution.)
I am "emphatically of the
opinion that ; the United States;
should keep absolutely out of
this mess. I think we have gone
too far in what weliave already
officially said through the State
Department at Washington. The
frequent f ulminations emanat
ing from there have very
naturally been received by
Japan in the nature of a threat,
and if they continue much lon
ger we may soon become involv
ed in an ugly situation with
Japan. .
The only thing we have a
right to ask of China and Japan
is that our nationals be not
molested, and that nothing be
done to interfere with our
treaty rights for the "open
door" in China. Japan has time
and again extended the positive
assurance that the life and prop
erty of Americans will be pro
tected, and that nothing will be
done to interfere with our trade
rights in China. Just so long as
this attitude is adhered to we
should stand absolutely hands
off, taking care that no interfer
ence, diplomatic or otherwise,
should involve us in this unfort
unate complication. '
On a Trade Basis
The best way to maintain the
open door is to leave the settle
ment of the controversy to the
principles now involved. ' After
that is done there will be no ef
fort to close the now Open door
against our trade, or that of the
other nations of the world. Even
if Japan should win it would not
dare to antagonize the balance
