of twenty-one on manchuria dis agreements were many and feeling rose high between several delega tions the committee met to survey proposals of various delegations and submit a resolution to the general assembly concerning the deposition of manchouko and the reprimand ing of japan for violation of article 16 of the league code article 16 states that when a state of war is in existence between countries a number of specified sanctions shall be applied the league stated that a state of war is in existence between ja,pan japan and china the japanese union delegation refused to ad mit that a state of war was or is in existence and argued that japan had done a good work in replacing a hitherto unknown condition of law and order in the state of man chouko disregarding the statement of the japanese delegation which was made at the first session of the committee the other delegations continued with the business of the meeting proposals are submitted five states submitted proposals for the resolution and the chair man suggested that the proposal of france n y u be used as a basis for discussion in the end the french proposals were excepted with only a few minor changes french recommended that three separate steps be taken in applying sanctions to japan each depending upon the other the resolution sub mitted to the assembly contained much the same material with a re arrangement of proceedure and a few subdivisions the greatest conflict among the delegations occurred over the arms embargo suggestion the japanese delegation stated that they would certainly fight for their rights if forced to on the basis of this statement and the fact that the united states and the union of soviet states of russia had re fused to sit on the committee rep resentatives of the british empire and france refused to support this proposal both delegations assert ed that since japan obtained a large part of her arms from the united states her best customer to place an embargo around japan would be sufficient reason for war suggests arms embargo this proposal was finally modi fied to the extent that the embargo should be applied at the home ports of the league members in this manner conflict with the unit ed states would be avoided china johns hopkins objected strenuously to the method of appli cation of a financial embargo swe den vassar and nicaragua mo ravian college maintained that an arms embargo was not sufficient but they were overruled by other delegations a sub-committee composed of representatives from canada bar nard irish free state elmira union

ture of arms and munitions charles brodsky of rutgers uni versity was chairman of the com mittee and frederick j mann of columbia university was the rap porteur buchman elected chairman henry buchman

visit is impressive to authorities men having contact with new athletic director recently are confident of his success here department head expects student body to cooperate the new director of athletics col nelson a kellogg will put lehigh on her feet athletically if anybody can this seems to be the opinion of various men on the cam pus who met and talked with the former director of purdue's athletic department when he visited lehigh about the middle of last month the purpose of his visit at that time was to look over lehigh's ath letic and physical education de partments and to meet some of the men with whom he will come into direct contact after he takes up his duties here at this time however it was not known who would be chosen for the position improves athletics during colonel kellogg's regime at purdue he has built up the de partment of athletics and physical education at that institution into a smooth working and efficient or ganization courses have been add ed to the curricula which deal with various phases of coaching and phy sical education colonel kellogg feels that a man who is going into preparatory school teaching will have a better chance of getting a job if he knows how to coach some sport for this reason the courses at purdue were added by him he also feels that a coach should know something of the physiological and scentific as pects of his sport seeks efficiency he is a man who is sold on a 100 per cent working organization if the impression he has left on the men whom he met during his visit means anything when told that the apathy of the student body was one of the trou bles here he is said to have stated that whoever becomes director of athletics at lehigh will have the student body behind him because college students in general will get behind instructive leadership kel logg is also said to have stated that he has always found the student bodies willing to cooperate where ever he has worked a e buchanan jr executive secretary of the alumni association said that the athletic set-up at pur due is quite comparable to ours i didn't get a chance to talk with colonel kellogg but my im pression after meeting him is that he seems to be a good fellow john w maxwell assistant editor of the alumni bulletin said he seems quite capable of taking over the athletic situation at lehigh palmer addresses r.w.blake society

delegates fail in justifying manchurian action and walk out of model league meet may have no representation at convention next spiring committees recommend un employment study and the regulation of arms japan will probably have no rep resentation in the model assembly of the league of nations when the eastern division of that body meets next spring at bucknell university the six nipponese delegates stu dents from union college schenec tady n v walked out of the final plenary session being held in pack ard auditorium saturday after their efforts to justify japan's action in manchuria failed to check the adop tion of the report submitted in fa var of china by the committee of twenty-one this gesture providing the high spot of the convention and coming in agreement with the recent reply of the japanese to the approved lytton report at geneva followed an afternoon of discussion and ulti mate approval of reports submitted by the two other assembly commit tees on unemployment and arms and munitions jerome adler new york university phi beta kappa man presided over the meeting study is recommended the committees recommended a broad governmental study of the employment problem and strict regulation of arms import and ex port by a permanent bureau for trade in arms the recent conven tion also saw the adoption of a new constitution which by its provi sions closely links the model lea gue with the league of nations as sociation pro-united states league membership organization b l dai a native of the china he represented along with three oth er johns hopkins students made the reply to the japanese argu ments he stated that regardless of conditions in the country up to the time of the manchurian invasion japan had several years ago recog nized china as a nation fate of china at stake thus he insisted in spite of the reasons presented by them for their present action the japanese are violating the covenant of the league of nations . . . the fate of china is at stake and i am glad to see that international justice will be meted out by the league the report of the committee in cluding recommendations for the application of a doctrine of non recognition in manchoukuo sever ance of diplomatic financial and commercial relations between japan and the nations in the league and an arms embargo was then sub mitted to a vote of the assembly and approved it was then that a japanese del egate presented his final apologies to the group and followed by leav ing the hall with his colleagues the arguments he presented closely paralleled those of the united states some years ago to justify intervention in nicaraguan affairs arms committee reports similar debate accompanied the report of the committee on the man ufacture and trade of arms and mu nitions since a section of the rec ommendations of the committee of twenty-one provides for an arms embargo it was a difficult question to decide on which country the em bargo should be imposed the arms committee specified that both coun tries involved in warfare ought to receive the force of the imposition though the arguments of the nipponese failed to convince even one league delegation whose neg ative vote would have defeated the report favoring china they were adjudged most forceful and most in accord with genuine league pro cedure vol xl no 45 bethlehem pa tuesday april 11 1933 model league committees
