r. Lin Yutang Sees inal China Victory
Defeat of Japan in Present Conflict Predicted in Interview at University Tea
“Japan cannot win; China cannot lose!”
Such is the conviction of Dr. Lin Yutang. noted Chinese ilosopher, who was interviewed at a tea given by the Found-ion of Asiatic Studies yesterday at 2:30 p.m. in the Hall of ations room. Among the honor guests present were Chinese

The famous Chinese author, who recently completed a novel, loment in Peking.” has also writ-n “The Importance of Living” id “My Country and My People,” th best sellers.
EFERS LIGHTER SUBJECTS
Warning that one could not be ,ry amusing about war, he reeled that he would rather discuss subject in a lighter vein — Ham ’ Eggs.
China, according to Dr. Lin, was t very mindful when Japan made ir first grab, taking Manchukuo. |ut, when the Japanese endangered e existence of all of China, the Ihinese realized that they had to ht in order to survive.
Dr. Lin believes that China has ;ree factors in her favor: time, ography, and arithmetic. They in stall for time safely, because hina is not dependent on her l^reign trade, as is Japan. Geogra-jy is on their side, because “they ,ir that all Americans are blamed ve the whole country into which ey may retreat.”
JCRIES IRON SHIPMENTS The writer decried the fact that e United States is sending scrap n to Japan. He considers it un-r the few companies who are ding war materials.
Clarifying his statement that ina has arithmetic on her side, reminded that Japan is spend-<5.000.000 daily in the present
T.
Lin stated. “War is usually uestion of machines and human lirit. Japan has the machines: ina has the spirit; there is no -aster so great that the human irit cannot rise above it.”
Layden Defies Football Jinx With Post Story
Coach Elmer L?vden of Notre Dame evidently believes that he can defy the famous “Post Jinx” with his latest contribution to Ihe current issue of the Saturday Evening Post entitled “You, Too, Can Be a Quarterback.”
Without fail, every coach who has written an article in the
magazine this year has seen his team later defeated, and Layden, whose team meets the Trojans Saturday in a big intersectional clash, sees fit to defy the hoodoo.
In his article he singles out the quarterback as the key man of any football attack explaining that the signal-caller can
make or break any team. Steve Sitko, last year’s Irish quarter whose faulty signal calling led to SC's first touchdown in its 13-0 victory, is defended by Layden tor calling the play that he did.

Dr. Evans Explains Idealism
Theories of Felix Adler Form Basis of Lecture In Philosophy Forum
‘Ethical idealists believe first in looking to the wants of man, and then to the nature of God and the uni-i verse.”
This statement was made by Dr. W. V. Evans, lecturer in philosophy, who discussed “Ethical Idealism” at the Philosophy Forum lecture yesterday in Bowne hall.
“The ethical idealists maintain ! that religion should come after morals. Their creed is moral freedom j and the supremacy of moral laws," said Dr. Evans.
DISCUSSES ADLER He discussed Dr. Felix Adler, the founder of the movement, and his philosophy. In 1876, Dr. Adler, at the age of 25, was induced to found an ethical society in New York. He was. at the time, an instructor at Columbia, but he continued with both jobs, until his death 26 years later.
“Dr. Adler’s philosophy was that ! every man should pursue a path for himself,” said Dr. Evans. “In fact, the cultivating of the unique differ-; ences in each person is one of the main points in his philosophy. His ! philosophy is to bring out the individual qualities in each person, not as an example of another person, but as an example of himself.”
The system of organization was divided into five parts, the family, the school, the vocation, the state, and the church. At the head of these is the family; below the family come the other four, each one on an equal par with each other.
COME HOME—That *is the’ message to approximately 40,000 alumni of SC given by Judge Frank M. Smith of the Los Angeles superior court, who is chairman of Trojan Homecoming activities which will begin the week following Thanksgiving vacation. He is shown above being welcomed back himself by coeds Peggy Price and Donna Lewis.

Most of these 600 treasured documents, which are over 4000 years old, have come from Babylon and Ur and are still covered with the salt and residue of time. In some instances they are coated with charcoal, a remnant of the days when Roman soldiers traveled over these historic lands pillaging and burning villages.
To further enhance its value the picture will be partly recorded in color, in addition to the regular black and white film.
