Japan Remses To Join Far-Easlern
Peace Conference
BRUSSELS, Thursday. Nov. 4-(I'.P)—Great E-iiain was reported early today to be paving the way lor coiiapse of the Far Eastern peace conference—only 12 hours after its eloquent opening—because of Japan's refusal to join the negotiations and Fascist Italy's threat to block any plan for an armistice in the Orient The United States. Britain, and France clashed with Italy after Norman H. Davis, America's “roving ambassador,’’ told the conference that war threatens the whole world as long as hostilities rage in China.
Italy served notice a few minutes later that she was there to defend Japan and that the aims of the conference were “useless.”
DELEGATES DISCOURAGED The delegates left the first meeting discouraged, and the British immediately began “salvage operations" in anticipation of a breakdown of negotiations The British ambassador to Brussels. Sir Robert Henry Clive, who was stationed in Tokyo until last March, conferred with Japanese Ambassador Savuro Kurusu and was understood to have attempted to leam whether Japan would attend “another conference at some future date and disc ust. a Chinese-Japa- I nese settlement on a broader basis” j than the present one might attempt :

American Labor Party Shows Power
NEW YORK, Nov. 3—(U.P)—The American labor party emerged from New York’s political election holding a balance of po^er which it may be able to use in next year’s New York state and congressional elections, a breakdown of complete returns showed tonight.
The labor party polled 482,459 votes for Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, whose reelection blocked Tammany Hall domination of New York city politics for another four years
The American Labor party was 28,000 greater than the Fusionist mayor's plurality, but well under the Republican poll of 672.823 votes. City Fusion cast 159,895 votes for LaGuardia and the Progressive party gave him but 28.839.
It was significant that in the five burroughs anti-Tammany candidates for president were successful in all but the Bronx, where Democrat James J. Lyons was reelected because Republicans and American Labor partisans failed to back the same candidate for borough president.
The American Labor party ran ahead of the Republicans in the Bronx but the split in anti-Tammany ranks permitted the Tammany victory.
Similar failure of Republicans and Laborites to agree on candidates permitted Tammany victory" in such contests as those for supreme municipal court justices.

Lewis Admits Bad Defeat;
Looks Forward
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 —(U.E)— John L. Lewis, head of the Committee for Industrial Organization, tonight ordered his forces to prepare for the 1938 congressional elections as results from Tuesday’s off-year balloting aroused new speculation about a possible third party in the 1940 presidential contest.
In a statement issued as chairman of labor's non-partisan league, Lewis recognized that CIO candidates in Detroit and Ohio were badly defeated but he insisted that the balloting as a whole reflected “distinct progress for labor.”
He blamed the defeat of O’Brien for mayor of Detroit, and of other candidates for Detroit offices, who were backed by the CIO, on a “combination of massed wealth and an entrenched political mahcine.” He said that “labor in Michigan is prepared to expand the sphere of its influence in the future.”
Lewis made no direct mention of a possible third party in 1940. Since he broke with the American Federation of Labor to head the rival CIO and to create labor’s Non-Partisan league, he has insisted only labor must make its influence felt at the polls and must be prepared to take advantage of whatever political realignment may occur in 1940. On two occasions he has projected pleas for a union of farmers and laborers in the politican sphere.

The Italian delegate, Count Luigi Aldrovandi-Marescotti, who carried the instructions of Premier Benito Mu*sollni. announced that he was t«here to defend Japan and that the a in* of the conference—to seek an armistice in the Orient—were "useless."
He struck out at President Roosevelt’* suggestion for a “quarantine” of aggressor nations and said that peace could be restored in the Far Eeat only by direct negotiations between Japan and China.

Homecoming Themes Due Monday; Gough Warns Against Delay
To find a slogan that will “stick in the mind of everyone who reads or hears it” is the aim of the judges for the Homecoming slogan contest which is now under way, according to Lewis Gough, executive director of the general alumni association.
S udents are warned not to delay too long before submitting their suggestions, Gough said, as contributions must be placed in boxes provided for that purpose in the Student Union by Monday.
NO LIMIT SET No limit has been set on the number of suggestions which may be submitted by each student, the only requirements being that the slogan indicate originality of thought and embody the spirit and gaiety surrounding Homecoming week, November 29 to December 4.
The contest is an annual event to provide alumni officials with a theme to use in their correspondence and promotion work. The prize offered for the winning slogan is two tickets on the 50-yard line for the Homecoming game with U.C.L.A. December 4.
INVITATIONS READY As soon as the slogan is selected and the theme around which observance of the week will center is determined, invitations will be sent to 31.500 alumni, Gough said.
Letters have already been sent to fraternity presidents requesting that they watch for the announcement of the winning slogan in the columns of the Daily Trojan, and prepare a coherent plan for house decorations to conform to the theme suggested by the slogan. These plans should be submitted to Gordon DeMond by November 22, the letter states.
Student and alumni committee chairmen will meet in the senate room tomorrow at 12:15, when they will be asked to submit reports of their activities to date and the names of the members of their committees.

Lowell Poetry;
At Reading
Amy Lowell, American poet and critic who fought against stilted style in poetry, was a revolutionist according to Dr. Frank Baxter of | the English department.
“All revolutionists are extreme and this is true of Amy Lowell,” Dr Baxter said at the poetry reading during the assembly period yesterday.
Stating that some of her work was oriental in nature and feeling, though not in subject matter, the speaker read “Interlude” and “Nos-

“The dog,” Judge Griffin ruled, “is not on trial. I cannot permit such procedure.” His lips grew tight as he added: “There is no question as to the bond between the man and his dog.”
Gladstone stood with head bowed-and said nothing.

Spain Periods Discussed
•
Literary Evolution Of Country Told By Griffiths
A picture of Spanish social, economic, and cultural evolution as revealed in that country’s literature was presented by Professor John F. Griffiths to a large and attentive Wednesday lecture audience in the art and lecture room of Doheny library yesterday afternoon.
Pointing out the various periods of Spanish literature, Professor Griffith commented on the first period, the baronial period, epitomized by epics such as “The Cid” in which are found symbols of loyalty to the monarch and church as well as democracy in the form of government in council.
During the monarchia-I period, Spain was united, Ferdinand and Isabella ruled, the inquisition was started, but no worthwhile literature was produced, Professor Griffiths declared.
The ecclesiatical period produced the golden age of Spanish literature although the inquisition was at its height. Literature gave generally the contrasted picture of luxury and poverty, beggars and nobles. Spain was rolling in wealth, but it was all concentrated in the hands of the few the lecturer indicated.
Slowly liberalism came to Spain in the periods of liberalism and revolution, a social consciousness was built up in the literature, which criticized the greedy practices of the monarchist and nobles and eventually forced the abdication of the king in 1931, he said.

Bedaux did not announce the specific itinerary the duke will follow, but said points to be covered would be announced “almost any minute.”
The duke, Bedeaux disclosed, will study government and private housing and labor conditions in light and heavy machinery, oil refinery, heavy chemicals, textiles, tobacco, steel, rubber, pulp and paper, mining, rubber, lumber, logging, prepared foods, meat packing, timber and sawing mills, vegetable packing, fruit canning, and others to be announced later.

At his press conference tonight, which he called a "cocktail” party, Bedaux disclosed that the Windsors will make their entire trip by train. He said the tour was demanded by the duke because “he wants to leardn everything about housing and labor.”
