Confronts Parley
Firm U.S. Stand Checks Japanese Settlement Bases
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 — (U.P.)—The United States tonight handed Japan a blunt statement of policy which, informed quarters said, virtually ended all chance of an agreement between the two countries on explosive far eastern issues.
Kurusu and Nomura were
Invited to the state department today shortly after President Roosevelt had conferred for 30 minutes with Dr. Hu and Dr. T. V. Soong, head of the Bank of China and lend-lease contact man.
TRADE SOUGHT
Tonight’s conference was the first since Saturday when Hull and the Japanese diplomats completed a week of exploratory conversations. Kurusu and Nomura were said to have presented to Hull on Saturday proposals calling for fuller restoration of trading privileges with the United States, but offering fewer guarantees of good conduct in the far east than this country now demands.
Before conferring with Hull tonight, Kurusu was asked whether he was bringing anything new. He replied he had not and recommended the principles of the three monkeys—hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil—for application to the conversations.
POLICY CHANGED
A last-minute switch, reportedly resulting from a Chinese appeal to the white house, swung the United States from an anticipated program of conciliation toward Japan to one of firm reiteration of longstanding American policies.
In effect, the statement said that Japan must withdraw ail her troops from China and cease support of the Wang Ching-Wei regime in Nanking as an essential preliminary to any agreement with the United States.
Meanwhile, China reportedly was assured that her interests would be fully protected.
There had been reports China has disagreed with other democratic powers about matters stemming from the U. S.-Japanese conversations.

man, calls this assembly “the unknown quantity” in the drive since the admission is free, but contributions will be collected.
FIGURES WITHHELD
When asked how yesterday’s total of $272.49 compared with the second day’s collection of last year, the chairman stated:

English Group Hears Baxter
“Every philosopher from Aristotle to the modern-day thinker has felt the necessity to give some explanation of laughter. This universal human phenomenon appears to no one person in exa-ctly the same way.”
Dr. Frank Baxter, professor of English language and literature, yesterday offered this as preliminary comment to the speech he will deliver to members of Epsilon Phi, honorary English fraternity, this evening at 7:30. The meeting will be held at the Kappa Delta house, 919 West 28th street.
The speaker will present his views and theories of comics and comedy in an address titled “Some Famous Theories of Laughter and the Comic.” He plans to answer the question of whether some of the world’s famous philosophers have explained the reason that people laugh.
Hart Play Offered
Bovard Auditorium to Raise Curtains Tomorrow Evening
“Enjoy it while you’re here, for ‘You Can’t Take It With You’ ” is the motto that forms the central philosophy of the George S. Kaufman-Moss Hart play, opening tomorrow night in Bovard auditorium.
Although the Sycamore family has a seemingly crackpot outlook, and many of their activities fail to make sense, they really have a serious aim in life. They put forth every effort to enjoy what they like to do and act according to their moods.
LIKES DISCUSSED
Grandpa Vanderhof likes to attend commencement exercises. Penny Sycamore likes to bang out plays on her typewriter. Essie likes to toe-dance, while her husband likes to play xylophone accompaniments. So, odd as it seems to more prosaic persons, each proceeds to do just that.
Alice Sycamore, played by Ruth Ann Hartman, grasps life by the horns when she falls in love with millionaire Tony Kirby.
PLOT UNFOLDS
This love-affair gives rise to the real plot of the play when the whole Sycamore clan enters heart and soul into keeping the couple together, despite the disapproval of the Kirbies.
Mr. and Mrs. Kirby, Herbert Strock and Adelyn White when offstage, accidentally come to dinner at the Sycamore establishment on the wrong night. Finding that eccentric family in a happy turmoil, they depart hastily, shocked and disgusted.
PERSONALITIES DIFFER
Grandpa Vanderhof and Mr. Kirby form an interesting contrast in types at this meeting. Kirby, a stuffy, vain old man, has never learned how to live in the way that Grandpa has and cannot see any good for understanding between them.
Students must have their activity books validated at the cashier’s window in the Student Union book store. Tickets may also be purchased in blocks by organizations planning Homecoming reunions.
The five performances of the play will be Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Defense Strike Looms Today in Union Feud
AFL Jurisdictional Authority Contested in Welders’ Dispute
BY UNITED PRESS
Independent welders threatened last night to strike at plants holding more than $1,250,000^00 in defense orders, and the jurisdictional feud between AFL machinists and hoisting engineers spread at St. Louis to 8600 strikers at plants holding upward of $150,000,000 in orders for defense needs.
The welders’ dispute with AFL metal trades’ unions was intensified when the independent workmen rejected an Office of Production Management plan for settlement of differences in Pacific coast shipbuilding industries.
AUTONOMY SOUGHT
The welders have asked autonomy as an independent organization outside the AFL, and early this month struck for a week to obtain that goal.
Associate OPM Director Sidney Hillman asked the welders to consent to the “one-card” system of employment which technically would put them under AFL control, but the welders said the plan failed to solve other complaints of “discrimination and abuse.”
FEAR EXPRESSED
Spokesmen for the welders said the strike might develop this weekend, probably starting in shipyards at Puget Sound and the Bay City area of San Francisco and spreading to other shipbuilding projects at Gulf ports. Strike votes already were under way on the west coast.
At St. Louis hope for early termination of the machinists-hoist-ing engineers’ quarrel within the AFL waned when an engineers’ official said he had been ordered to “concede nothing” to the machinists.
The dispute stemmed from rival jurisdictional claims on 22 employees at the Weldon Springs, Mo., munitions plant.
Contracts Due Tomorrow
Honorary and professional sororities and fraternities who plan to have panels in El Rodeo should notify the El Rodeo office, 326 Student Union, by Friday. Notification also may be made to the office of student publications, 218 Student Union.
