However, Nagano did not men-n figures.Dari* U. S. Delegate.Norman Davis, chief Americanlegate, intends to define the U. S.[titiide toward Japan’s parity de-Lnd tomorrow’. It is believed heII reject it by emphasizing thatc r.

This would entail substantialrapping of warships by the lead-g fleets. He added that if the levelreed upon were lower than theesent Japanese strength. Japan wasliing to scrap tonnage neces.saryreach the common level.Global parity would enable eachtion to build the kind of vessels■St suited to its needs.Nagano indicated that Japan be-‘ves herself more vulnerable to at-ck or aggression than the Unitedates.

Mints, assistant professorficonomics while Garfield V. Cox,ofes.sor of Finance, emphasizedat the silver buying fiasco hasisen primarily as a result of our'Vernmental structure.In stating that the decision woulduse few economic effects on w’est-n countries generally, assistantofessor Mints emphasized thatme uses silver as the base of itsrrency. “If there is an importantect in the United States, it will belitical. Lobbyists for silver inter-ts will make their influence felt ine next ses.sion of Congress if theesent situation marks a perman-t abandonment of the silver buy-g policy of the United States gov-nment.”Aid ChinaThough admitting that he had notIlowed the situation closely, assist-t profes.sor Mints interpreted the3ve on the part of the Unitedates government as a temporaryle designed to aid China. China,e only silver standard country ine world, has recently had to go offe silver standard and adopt a man¬ed currency anchored to the Brit-1 pound because speculators werelling their silver stocks to thelited States government. The results been doubly injurious to theiited States because Chinese eco-'mic unrest has led to Japanese oc-pation of North China, and peg-(Continued on page 2) League Meets toConsider LatestPeace Proposals1 ____ jI GENEVA, Dec. 11—(UP)—Pow¬er of Great Britain and France to.steer the League of Nations againstI the will of the small nations may re¬ceive its first severe test tomorrow.Delegates of minor nations, wholook to the League for protectionfrom aggression, asserted tonight; that the powers had “sold out” Ethio¬pia in latest proposals for peace inthe Italo-Ethiopian conflict.Britain, after obtaining condemna¬tion of Italy as aggressor in EastAfrica, now offers the Fascists halfof Ethiopia as “reward” for aggres¬sion, they .said, just as Britain, afterhelping condemn German (rearma¬ment by the League council in April,secretly negotiated a naval treatywith the Nazis recognizing Ger¬many’s right to build a large navy.Some delegates charged Franceand Britain, had killed the collec¬tive system by offering Italy a prizeI for her “crime” against the Coven-{ ant.

KELLEYDon’t mind the cover of the Phoe¬nix which appears today, because wefeel that it was surely the photog¬rapher’s fault and because there’ssomething more worthwhile inside.Perhaps “worthwhile” isn’t le motjuste, but it’s good enough. Strange¬ly enough most of the articles areanonymous this month.We suggest that each article betaken in order, for, like the cast ina play, they lead up to a climaxwhich is duly followed by what somewould call the denouement andothers the end. The climax, to us,is none other than Lee Thomas’ littleditty entitled “No Experience Ex¬pected” subtitled a simple tale oflove and stuff with delicacy and fin¬esse.Leading up to this climax oneruns across such articles as “How toTell Them” by Blondie, which de¬scribes more or less the various class-men from freshman to senior. Thenthere is a review by Willian Shei’-wood of Thomas Wolfe’s “FromDeath to Morning,” a collection olshort stories. Along with the edi- I tor’s Ink Pot Pourri there is a short! and to the point, poem entitled “San¬ta’s Big Horses Will Trample YouDown.”Turning over the page we find hu¬mor in three short articles whosetitles are “The Man with the Bot¬tle of Bluing,” “Why the MarchHare Is Never Seen in December,”' and “Flora and Fauna in Heaven,Sweet Heaven.”Then the development drags a lit¬tle, while Gertie dishes up a line ofnames from here, there and every¬where. Next we have the climaxwrapped up, as all Christmas pres¬ents, this time in an interview withthe orchestra leader Benny Good¬man.We don’t mean that this is theonly good thing, for even denoue¬ments have surprises. And we cometo an article entitled appropriately“The Idol on the Mantel” with theafter thought “It Winked at Moth¬er and Then.... ” Continuing there’sBob Kesner and Phil Abrams exam¬ining what’s in “In the Bag ThisChristmast,” well set off with a car¬toon and caption.Sprengling Speaks atService for BreastedMemorial services for Dr. JamesH. Breasted, world-famed UniversityEgyptologist, will be held jointly byNorth Central college and the Evan¬gelical Theological seminary at Na¬perville, Illinois at 11 today.

GoldingBUY CHRISTMAS SEALSThe public let¬ter writer was0 European in,*stitution 100years agoU SHOPPING DAYSTO CHRISTMAS SAND IN HIS EYEEditor, The Daily Maroon,Dear Mr. Nicholson:With regard to “Gulliver’s” re¬marks on my review of “Paths ofGlory” in the last tw’o issues of TheDaily Maroon, may I say that in re¬viewing the play I was not biased.I had never before seen a D. A. pro¬duction. I do not, so far as I know,intimately or even casually know’any members of the association. Iwent openly as a critic to see a playwhich was being given its ChicagoPremiere. I had no axe to grind.Miss Sandman has said that I hadbeen entirely derogatory in review’-ing the play. This is not so. I praisedthe work of certain of the leadingactors, saying that they “gave to theplay much of the drama which thepoor staging had hurt.” The playwas poorly staged. I said so, butqualified my statement by saying“the play was a poor choice for pre¬sentation because of the limitationof stage facilities, and the directors...because of this were unable tocope with stage directions. ...”Miss Sandman claims that this isnecessarily so because of the size ofthe theater. I admit this. When I askher why they did not present theplay in some other place, she answers“Where?” After all, it is for theD. A., not a lonely freshman dramacritic, to endeavor to dig into theUniversity’s enormous endowmentfund for the erection of an experi¬mental theater. I can but recordevents as they are, or as they seemto be to me.* * *The best definition of criticism Ihave ever known was made by afriend of mine when he said that“criticism is the science of compari¬sons.” It is also essentially a person¬al thing. Mentally, I compared theperformance of “Paths of Glory”w’ith other productions I have seengiven at other and even much small¬er institutions. And in these respectsI found it lacking. .. the directorshad not judiciously chosen a vehiclewhich would be easily adaptable totheir limited staging facilities; theyhad taken a play which called for ahuge and complex organization ofhuman and other machinery to en¬sure a pliausible production; theyhad cast in the leading roles personswhose technical equipment was notequal to the dramatic content of thecharacters they were to impersonate;and they had not smoothed out play¬ing flaws to the best advantage.♦ ♦ ♦It is a fact that in colleges hav¬ing one tenth the student body ofthe University, and limited equallyby poor stage equipment, I have seenbetter performances by far thanwas that given by the D. A. lastweek. I do not say that I have seenmany better performances of equallyhard-to-produce plays. I have seenfew. But I do emphatically reiteratethat the choice of such a play wasone which could not but help laythe D. A. open to such unsympathet¬ic comment as was mine, and as wasAshton Stevens (of the ChicagoAmerican) when he spoke of “thepoiseless performance of yo”ng stu¬dents.”I said what I sincerely and uii-biasedly felt about the performance.I am sorry that the D. A. does nothave better facilities, and I am sor¬ry that all critics cannot agree. Butwhat can I do but record the factthat the D. A.’s situation did limitthem?C. Sharpless Hickman. League Meets toConsider LatestPeace Proposals(Continued from page 1)cd by the Franco-British peace pro-po.sals, it was said.Pjjrpose of the gathering of dele¬gates is to enact the will of Franceand Britain on two matters. The“sanctions general staff” of 18 isscheduled to meet to consider an em-liargo on Italy’s oil. The powers willinsist this be postponed in order notto upset the peace negotiations.The committee of five formed lastSeptember to make a compromise of¬fer to Italy also meets to considerthe Paris proposals. Britain andj France have only tw’O votes in eachcommittee but the number of na¬tions on which they can bring influ¬ential pressure enables them usuallyto have their way.BRITISH STANDWilling to Yield to |Views of Smaller Powers. |LONDON, Dec. 11—(UP)—Brit-jain w’ill not attempt to over-ride op-1position of other League members ‘to the Paris peace proposals, well-in-:formed authorities said tonight after iCaptain R. Anthony Eden had de-'parted for Geneva to present Brit¬ain’s case for quick settlement ofthe Italo-Ethiopion conflict.I Some authorities doubted the I, Franco-British proposals would beI adopted by the League—in whichI case they would die, even if Premier: Benito Mussolini should acceptI them. Emperor Haile Selassie hasI already rejected the deal, which jw’ould deprive him of partial or to- jtal contio! of half his kingdom. IProfessors Look atEffect of GovernmentSilver Buying Plan(Continued from page 1)ging Chinese currency to the poundI has reduced American exports toChina. Through its action the Unit¬ed States may be giving China an iopportunity to return to silver. jI “No noticeable benefits of the! silver buying program have beenevident,” emphasized assistant pro¬fessor Mints. “Of course business hasrevived considerably, but whether itis due to the silver buying programis a great question.”Garfield V. Cox, profe.s.sor of Fi¬nance, in commenting on the situa¬tion, remarked that the silver pro¬ducers had overreached themselvesand precipitated a situation whichobservers of monetary problems hadlong predicted. Professor Cox ob¬served that the entire silver problemindicates the importance of our gov¬ernmental structure on our govern¬mental policy. “If the Constitutionhad not provided for election of twosenators from each .state, the silverproducers would not exercise influ¬ence in the United States Senate.”As presently constituted the UnitedStates Senate includes 14 senatorsfrom silver states. Dr. Cox indicat¬ed that without extensive analysisof our trade with China, it is impos¬sible to say whether our trade w’illbe benefitted or harmed by the de¬cision not to buy silver.The Renaissance Society & International House1414 East 59 StreetSANS FAMILLEFriday, December 13, 4 & 8 P.

H. Spen¬cer, dean of the Business school, inan address to the South Side Juniorcollege yesterday, “is to find a meansto establish and maintain businessunits of maximum efficiency with¬out sacrificing commercial and in¬dustrial liberty.”Developing his theme of the con¬trol i>f large scale private industry,Spencer traced attempts at regimen¬tation in the past. The Sherman.Anti-Trust act of 1840 was discussedat length and it was stated that “inview of the original purpose of theact, the Sherman law must be deem¬ed a failure.”The Clayton act (1914) and thelegislation creating the Federal Tradecommission in the same year werenext examined and both were foundto fall short of their goals—the cess¬ation of further business consolida¬tion.The NRA was termed the mostrecent act in the effort to halt big MusicOrgan recital.

Spencer admitted that thecodes “did help the return to busi¬ness solidarity. . .but many think it(the NRA) actually interferedwith the return of prosperity.”Three ways out of the difficultywere proposed. America may returnto a program of decentralization aspractised in the past; it may recog¬nize the present gigantic businesscombines and attempt to regulatethese monsters directly: or it maylay heavy taxes on big business. Ac¬cording to Spencer, a review of thelaws of the past Congress containsan intimation that the last coursemay be taken. By C. SHARPLESS HICKMANWith four major productionscoming, Chicago puts on its galoshesto attend the most sparkling dra¬matic season in many years. Themost pretentious production, “TheGreat W^altz” opens on December26 at the Auditorium, with MarionClaire and Guy Robertson of theoriginal cast. The operetta, whichdeals in % time with the life ofthe Johann Strausses, put the criticsto shame when it defied their predic¬tions and ran for over a year atRadio City’s Centre theater.“The Old Maid,” despite the“Phew” litzer prize furor, is still agi’eat play, with two of the theater’s Imost expei’t interpreters, Judith An¬derson and Helen Mencken, in theleading roles. Despite its slightlysaccharine quality, it is one of themost moving of recent Broadwayproductions, being surpassed in thisrespect only by “The Children’sHoub.”At the Harris theater the satiricalstory of a movie queen on a personalappearance tour brings glamorousGladys George in a piquant storywhich had Broadway gasping at itshumorous climax. It opens Decem¬ber 20.William Moore and William Gax-ton, the Throttlebottom and Winter-green of Kaufman-Hart’s “Of TheeI Sing” and “Let ’Em Eat Cake”open December 22 at the GrandOpera house in “Anything Goes.”This Hart-Cole Porter nautical opusfeatures Moore as the eternally apol¬ogetic Public Enemy No. 13.♦ * ♦ "Mu.sic, unfortunately, holds noth¬ing to equal the festive apparel ofthe drama offerings.

Although theI Maroons had nothing outstanding totheir credit in the Marquette con-i test, there was a noticeable improve-i ment in all departments of the game,! and the defense held the Hilltoppersto nine points in the second half.Yesterday Coach Norgren workedwith the guards on back court tac¬tics and instructed the forwards inrun in shots. Teh defense men out¬number the forward players consid¬erably and make the guard jobs dif¬ficult to hold.This week-end the Maroons haveanother pre-conference conditioning game in the fieldhouse. Wheatoncollege will be the opposing squadthis Saturday and should become avictim to the Chicago five. Last yearthe Maroons were successful in beat¬ing this outfit, 46 to 29, and with theimproved strength of the secondyear men ought to repeat their vic¬tory.Captain Bill Haarlow has not beenable to gain his stride in scoring yetthis year but will have several weeksmore of practice before he must de¬fend his record as the highest scor¬ing player in the Big Ten.

Sophomore Stars,Berwanger, HelpTrack ProspectsA vastly improved track squadwith three stellar performers in thepersons of Ray Ellinwood, GeorgeHalcrow, and Co-captain Jay Ber¬wanger has furnished grounds forCoach Ned Merriam’s prediction ofa successful indoor track season in1936 even with a very stiff schedule.In the quarter mile run Ellinwood,cross-country star, and Halcrow,winner of the event in the state meetfor high schools in 1933, and co-captain, Quentin Johnstone, can berelied upon to do at least 50 sec¬onds, and to better that mark con¬siderably in actual competition.According to Merriam, Jay Ber¬wanger stands an excellent chanceof repeating in track his reputationof being a one-man team. He turnsin capeble performances in the 60yard dash, can sail the javelin 190feet, and the discus, 140, in addi¬tion to pole vaulting twelve or thir¬teen feet.Men out for the half mile run areEllinwood, Tipshus, and Wasem, twomile. Smith, and Rapp, while Web¬ster takes care of the mile. Polevaulting will be handled by Steele,Kinder, Abel, Ballinger, and Ber¬wanger, with Steele and Kinder con¬sidered the most promising.High jumpers clearing the bar atfive feet ten or better are Gordon,Kobak, Beal, and Masterson.
