Buss Talks on Far East Today
'The Far Eastern Conflict and Collective Security' Is Topic of Wednesday Lecture This Afternoon in Doheny
With several years of work in the United States foreign service, intensive study of international relations, and recent summer visits to China as a background, Dr. Claude A. Buss, associate professor of international relations, talks this afternoon on “The Far Eastern Conflict and Collective Security" in the seventh of the series of *-—
Wednesday lectures.
To be delivered at 4:30 p.m. in the Art and Lecture room of Doheny library, today’s lecture is open to students, faculty members, and the general public as well as Homecoming alumni.
Factors contributing to collective security as outlined by Dr. Buss yesterday in discussing the lecture include the league of nations, the world court, ana international treaties. Japan’s success in China is attributed in part by Dr. Buss to the inadequacy of the collective security system to restrain or curb the Nipponese.
SHOWS PURPOSE
Dr. Buss will show how the present collective security was established for the purpose of insuring peace and has degenerated into an instrumentality for the perpetration of the status quo.
Also to be pointed out are Japan’s grievances which led her into a policy of agression because they could not be settled by the ordinary processes of diplomacy.

Noyes' Works To Be Read
Baxter Will Interpret Poetry of Well-Known English Bard Today
“No one would place Alfred Noye* among the immortal bords,” says j Dr. Frank Baxter of the English de- , partment, “but what real pleasure his songs have given to thousands of readers.”
Dr. Baxter will read some of the! work of the English poet, Alfred I Noyes, during the assembly period tomorrow. Of this writer he says: “Noyes has paid a sad price for having once been too popular. A generation ago he was accepted as a poet by most readers. He was quoted, lectured on, and praised far beyond his real deserts. What was worse, perhaps, he read his own poetry from lecture platforms everywhere—until his visits in most American towns became at least an annual event.
“The public, ever loyal to what it can understand easily and to what has grown familiar by reiterated experience, heard and applauded ‘The Barrel-Organ’ and ‘The Highwayman’ until these were as trite as ‘Mandalay’ or ‘Trees.’ ”
The collected poems of Noyes have been published in four volumes. Some of his other works are: “Sherwood, or Robin Hood and the Three Kings.” “Rada: A Belgian Christmas Eve,” and “The Winepress: A Tale of War.”

All-U Assembly Will Present Noted Lecturer
Speaking on the subject, “Kill or Cure,” Muriel Lester, world lecturer and one of England’s foremost woman speakers, will address students in an all-U assembly December 7.
Miss Lester, who became known as “the Jane Adams of London” when she donated her riches so as to make possible the construction of England’s largest settlement house, will come to Los Angeles j from Seattle, which was the 14th principal city to hear the noted traveler on her current tour of the United States.
In the course of her present stay in this country, Miss Lester has spread her belief that by spiritual understanding among the races of the earth, world peace will become | a reality. Following this same idea, the famous pacifist published her autobiography “It Occurred to Me,” last month, so that the American public might better understand the basis for her convictions.
Following her Sen Francisco appearances December 12. which will close her 1937 lecture series in the United States, Miss Lester will start her fourth tour of the World to conduct investigations of living conditions in India, and problems incurred by the Oriental hostilities.
