Eager for knowledge, gome 200
: "Y” Forum patrons gathered Sun- ‘
day afternoon to hear Dr. Y. Z.
! Chang, professor of Oriental lan
guages at the University of Michi- !
gan, deliver a scholarly disserta
, tion on “The Chinese Puzzle."
Dr. Chang gave a brief resume
jo' the history of China; her efforts
to build her counjry ma'/rially and
, culturally immediately prior to '
i 1931. and the apparent friendly re
j lationshlp between China and Japan j
i in that period. He reviewed the
I step* then being taken by inter
national statesmen and diplomat? i
to effect a permanent world peace, j
and the role of China in these r.e- I
gotiations.
He explained the famous ‘Tcna- j
ka Memorlam” published by the j
British press exposing plana of
Japan to build a strong empire in j
the Far East by the progressive j
steps of “conquest of Manchuria.
China, and the taking over of tho
naval supremacy enjoyed by the
United States over this hemisphere "
Japan subsequently denied the sin
ister plot, stating It to be only
“malicious interference of outsiders
to upset the friendly relationshio
I between China and Japan."
I He successfully pointed out the
i fallacies in thr two generally ac
j rep led arguments justifying Japan’.?
invasion of China when he stated
that "Japan is not overpopulated,
for there are four islands and Korea
which -are decidedly underpopu
lated; furthermore, they are invad
ing the overpopulated sections of
China where expansion is impossi
ble. Japan has always been able t>
purchase raw materials in the open
world market at standard prices or
in the Chinese market at ‘rock
bottom’ prices, while now she is
spending 15 million yens a day
i$5,000,000) in an endeavor to get
these raw materials free."
Dr. Chang, apparently ruffled In
his eagerness to impress, asserted
that “the Japanese invasion of
China in September. 1931 destroyed
I the world the progress
! jve steps toward peace—’nipped the
j: tender bud and rendered their frui-
I tion impossible;’ this Is not a Chin
es# affair alone—the peace and
democracy of ]he world is at stake."
He predicted that China would
I win and expressed the opinion that
: America could help most by non
participation in this Japanese ag
! gression; by not selling implements
I of war to Japan.

Alleged discrimination in a res

was reported last week by Negro
students at the university.
It was stated that last Thursday
three students, Marjorie Dunbar.
Emmetta Morton and Heber Hous
ton. entered the case and ordered
lunches. They were duly served at
usual rates and upon returning to
the school and commenting upon
the satisfaction derived both from
the service and the food, encour
aged other students of color to dine
there likewise.
The following day according to
reports, 10 other Negro students,
including Beryl Anderson, Necia
Harkless, Eleanor Williams. Heber
Houston, Lloyd Richardson. Alice
i Coote and four others, visited the
case and sought service. Upon do
ing so the waitress handed them a
menu which included a minimum
charge of one dollar and exorbi
