UH A Senate Received
Applications for enrollment in the SC naval ROTC have increased rapidly enough in the past several days to warrant the return of the naval medical examining board from Long Beach this Friday, announced Capt. Reed M. Fawell, commandant, yesterday.
He urged all applicants to report to room 300, Physical Education building, where the board will convene at 8:45 a.m. Friday, or as soon thereafter as classes will permit.
Thirty-one new applications for enrollment have been made by freshman and sophomore students since Monday, Captain Fawell said. To underclassmen not yet having made application he said that the SC unit quota has not yet been filled entirely.
Students still doubtful as to the nature and activities of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps, and who are interested in enrolling, are invited to present their questions to commandant aides.
Far East Tension Heightens
Japanese Press Warns Impending ‘All or Nothing' War
TOKYO, Oct. 3—(UP)—The newspaper Asahi warned Britain and America today that if they ban oil, rubber, and tin exports to Japan, the Japanese would choose an “all or nothing struggle” rather than “waiting for death.” The newspaper said there was an opportunity for Anglo-American reflection toward eliminating unnecessary international friction but added that the new tri-party pact will most likely cause a stiffening instead of a softening of Anglo-American far eastern policies.
“They must be aware, however,” Asahi said, “that the more they stand in Japan’s way, the more determined Japan will be in execution of her program.”
One Japanese leader. Hoshio Mit-sunaga, president of the Nippon Press association, suggested yesterday that Japan’s price for better relations with the United States includes abandonment of the U. S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and the resumption of normal trade with Nippon.
He had made the suggestion today in a message to Roy W. Howard. of 'he Scripps-Howard newspapers, in which he urged Howard to help guide American public opinion so that peace could be preserved in the Pacific.
“At no time has the crisis in the Pacific been so acute as at present,” the message said.
It added that the impending crisis might be prevented “if America abandons its fortifications at Pearl Harbor, Guam, and the Midway islands, gives up its support of Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek and restores trade to normalcy.”
