Says Youth of U. S.
Has Tired of Party
Labels Now Imposed

Princeton, y. j., Dec. 11.-(AP)-
The youth of the United States has
been stirred to a spirit of unrest and
discomfort by imposition of outworn
party labels, Louis Fox, Princeton un-
dergraduate, declared tonight in open
ing the national collegiate world court
conference of which he is chairman.
Representatives of 245 Institutions
were present at Alexandria Hall to
hear the program, featured by debate
between United States Senator Irving
L. Lenrott of Wisconsin and Clarence
barrow. Chicago lawyer. on SHOULD
the United States join the permanent
court of international Justice"
Following addresses by Mr.. Fox
and Livingston T. Merchant, chairman
of the Princeton Senior Council, Pres
ident John. Grier Hibben praised the
initiative taken by the students in
meeting to consider the question of
United States participation in the
world court.
Mr.. Fox, in his address opening the
conference, said the youth Of the coun-
try was in revolt against narrowness
in all phases of life, and that 1T is de-
manding share in the affairs in the
state. rs,sf
Though often misinterpreted this
revolt Of youth evinces itself in two
definite FORMS he said. I'VE crave
expansion, educational, social, politi-
cal. We must forget the petty quar-
rels and ambitions of the Individual
college. We seek a communion with
students Of all sections and of all
kinds.
Politically we object to the impo-
sition OF outworn party labels. We
must go beyond parties to men and
issues. In these ways the youth would
express its ideas of expansion"

Russian prima donna Zinaida Jur-

last week from the Devils Bridge.
at Andermatt, Switzerland, would
probably be alive today.
This is the assertion of her law
yer. DIR. Jaffe, who is in possession
of the fateful missive. 1t offers Jur-
jewskaya a contract to appear at the
Metropolitan Opera in New York
City-a chance for which she like
many other young singers, yearned
Jurjewskaya was of a nervous
temperament. DIR. Jaffe said today
and this condition was intensified by
excessive study, born of an ambition
to scale the heights of her chosen
art.
"Jurjewskaya's depressed spirits
were due chiefly to fear that her ar
tistic offerings might not be equal TO
the highest standards" the lawyer
said. Arthur Bodanzky conductor
for the Metropolitan visited her
during his recent trip and told her
she would hear from the Metropoli-
tan as soon as possible after his re-
turn to New York. When the weeks
passed without the OFFER she feared
that she had failed to make the
grade" @ 20 hos

Dun's Report

New York. Dec. 11.-(AP)-Dun's
tomorrow will say:
Production and distribution in many
departments of trade are without
peace-time precedent. Advices this
week from leading cities in all sections
of the country continue to tell of ex-
ceptional activity, with future pros
poets particularly bright. Industries
long dormant are reaching fresh goals
as to earnings, and the disposition is
strong to expand operations and to
make future commitments with greater
freedom and with more confidence.
Piecemeal buying does not dominate
the situation as it didAearlier in the
year. In some wholesale departments,
however, filling-in orders from retail
dealers are met with as usual at this
season owing to the desire to enter the
inventory period with minimum stocks
Christmas buying at retail is now on
in earnest, and not only is its scale
more liberal than in former years, but
its scope is broader. Furthermore, re-
tail absorption of seasonable staples,
assisted by weather conditions, is also
in gratifying volume.

Premier Declares
Japan Ready to
Talk Disarmament

ohyo, Lee. Il.-(tAH) - Premier
Katon today discussed with The AS
ISOLATED Press the subjects of dis
armament, sovietism, America and
China, and declared Japan gladly
would participate in any legitimate
disarmament conference, but he be-
lieved the time was not ripe at pres
ent for such a conference to prove
successful.
The premier did not believe that
Russia would enter such confer
ence and he also feared that certain
European countries were not yet
ready.
The Japanese government head
said Japan wanted the United States
to participate in any such confer
ence held.
= So far as any future Japanese
American was was concerned, Prem
Ter Kato declared it TO be an alb
surdity and physically impracticable.
He was sure Japan never would re-
sort to war over immigration and
anyway he hoped America some day
would amend the immigration law
in so far as it pertains to Japan,
thus removing the only sore spot.

Manchuria would be continued and
that no more Japanese troops would
be sent thither unless absolutely

forces being below normal owing to
the conscripts' terms ending. He add
ed that requirements would bring the
forces to approximately 1000 which
at present is considered sufficient.
The conditions in China and Manchu-
ria were puzzling, the premier said. 1t
was not known today what would hap
pen tomorrow and Japan's future pol
icy would be governed by conditions
As to whether the defeat of Marshal
Chang Tso-Lin. the Manchurian war
lord, would mean encroachment of Boil
shevik influence into Manchuria, Pre-
mier Kato said. such a contingency
was uncertain and Japan would cross
that bridge when reached. He insist
ed that Japan's only interest in Man.
churia was the protection of the lives
of Japanese nationals and their prop
erty. Regarding the increasing soviet
influence throughout China, the Jap
anese premier said the evidence

dttions at present were uncertain.
He said that the Chinese general
Little Hsu" recently told him that
the Chinese never would become boil
shevik. because there were so many
beggars and indolent persons who were
afraid they would be made to work
under a soviet regime. The premier
added, however, that this apparently
was an unconvincing argument.
So far as Japan is concerned, the
premier said he did not believe that
the people ever would adopt the prin-
ciples of sovietism, although he admit
ted that many Japanese were friendly
toward the soviets. He said it had
been reported that soviet money had
been sent into Japan for propa ganda
purposes, but that no evidence of this
had been discovered. He admitted that
Marshal Chang Tso-Lin heretofore had
been viewed as a barrier in Manchuria
between Russia and Japan, but it was
by no means certain that new gov
eminent in Manchuria would not also
be anti-soviet. Anyway he recited
the situation was extremely uncertain
and time only would bring solution,
