Play Managers Are Announced
McDonald, Hoppe in New Positions; “Jade God”
Is Class Play
New appointments in the play productions department were announced today by W. Kay McDonald. director, consisting of the selection of Bill Hoppe as play productions manager and Val Jean McCoy, stage manager.
The new executives will begin work immediately for preparation of the underclass play. “The Jade God,” to be given Oct. 28 in Bovard auditorium. The delay in selections was caused when Al Fritsche, appointed play productions manager last June, failed to return to school. Wallace Fra-ser, manager last year, has been volunteering his services for the preliminary work on the underclass production and will work with Hoppe until it is presented.
Both Hoppe and McCoy are experienced in play production activities and it w as indicated by McDonald that they would exchange positions in February. Hoppe has taken prominent roles in college plays since entering Troy and w orked on the technical staff of the stage creW-. McCoy is another wrell-known thespian and is treasurer and former stage manager of Drama Shop.
Rehearsals on "The Jade God” are being held regularly, although a few minor cast changes will be necessary. Dorothea Bell has been selected as student director of the drama and will assist McDonald with the work. Unusual and elaborate stage effects have been arranged and the technical effects will be in keeping with the theme of the play. Members of the stage crew will be chosen by McCoy in the near future. Date of tryouts will be announced later by the manager.
his current national tour, Secretary Mills did not mention President Hoover — "whose chief interests have been home-building and the family’’—until the end of his address.
Step by step Mills took up Governor Roosevelt’s stand on campaign issues, farm relief, water power, foreign trade and the depression—and at the end charged the Democratic standard-bearer has yet to give a concise statement of bis position.
TO ADDRESS BANKERS
Secretary Mills, here to address the 58th annual convention of the American Bankers’ association, spoke tonight before a large aui-ence in Trinity auditorium.
"We do not know whether he (Roosevelt) approves or disapproves of Mr. Garner's pork barrel building bill/’ the cabinet official said. “We do not know’ his attitude toward the gigantic program of reconstruction, which, under the president's leadership, and with the support of some members of his own party, has been put into effect; or toward the other measures undertaken under the president’s leadership to attack the problem of depression on a broad front.
PROGRAM INDEFINITE
"And, strangest of all, we do not know what, if any, program he himself has for dealing with this depression, a question which transcends in importance every other issue now before the American people.
“We do know that the governor promises to regulate the stock exchanges so as to curb harmful spec-j ulation; that he promises to control the issuance of securities and to provide for greater publicity in connection with security issues; and that he would compel the separation of commercial and investment banking”.

If “Streets of New York,” Drama Shop's coming melodrama prodoc-tion, were to have a press notice something like what follows, critics would swear that the spirit of the 1860’s had been indeed revived: "WTe think we should fail in our duty were we not to notice several features of the second performance last night of ‘Streets of New York.’ The costumes were simply scrump-! tious. Owing to the severe colds j from which the singers suffered, the musical part of the program was omitted.”
“Union Hall was filled last night with ‘fair women and brave men.’ ” Such, however, were typical of the reviews given shows in the days of our grandparents, researches by Helen Schloesser of the Drama Shop program committee have revealed.
Programs of the day carried appropriate notices, such as warnings against hissing and stamping the feet, “as this is a respectable place. ‘ Babes in arms” were permitted, but had to be kept decorous or be removed.
One kindly critic, in a press notice of some comedy, took occasion to philosophize:
“We have begun to conclude that the great secret of success of these productions is that the managers never spare any pains to please the public. Perhaps this is the secret of success the world over.”
Not merely programs, but the entire atmosphere of the theatre, will be reminiscent of American drama of Civil war days when “Streets of New York” is produced, Norman Wright, director, stated yesterday.

Reports Show Trade Decline
Foreign Purchases Drop As Canada, Britain, Russia Buy Less
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3—(UP)— Reports today showing a sharp fall in the country’s foreign trade and a mounting treasury deficit gave evidence of the cost of the depression from which many economists now believe the United States is slowing but surely emerging.
A commerce department trade analysis covering the first eight months of this year showed diminished purchases of foreign customers, with Canada buying from the United States slightly more than half what she did last year, Great Britain’s buying fall far off, trade with Soviet Russia dwindling almost to nothing.
Figuies previously released revealed total exports from the United States of $1,057,000,000 during the flrst eight months of 1932 which is ?605,000,000 less than last year, while imports this year were $917,000,000 or 1531,000,000 less.
A treasury report today covering the first quarter of the new fiscal year revealed a deficit of $401,947,-000. The government was $388,-373,000 in the red for the corresponding quarter of the last fiscal year. The nation's public debt has risen over $3,000,000,000 in the last year, from $17,320,606,000 on Sept. 30,1931, and $20,611,241,000 on Sept. 30 this year. It’s war-time peak was $26,596,701,000 on Aug. 31, 1919.
A sharp drop in income tax collections for the quarter opened up the question of a possible further tax increase at the next session of congress.
These government reports shed light on the current political agitation for reduction of tariffs and economy in operation of the government. Democrats are pointing to the decrease in foreign trade in their demand for revision of the Smoot-Hawley tariff, complaining that it has driven foreign customers to other markets and has caused retaliatory tariffs. Republicans counter that the world-wide depression is to blame for the slump in foreign trade.
Sophomore Club To Hold Meeting
The Sophomore club will hold its first regular meeting today at 12:30 in the Y. W. C. A. house, 674 West 36th street.
At this meeting the permanent program will be explained and officers elected. A speakers’ committee w'hich will arrange for the organization of speakers for each meeting will be appointed, and also a committee to contact foreign sophomore students and have them take part in the activities of the club.
The purpose of this organization is to stimulate interest among the sophomore girls in the various campus activities and in the individual organization. Since the club is not restricted to sophomore girls, upper classmen are invited to take part if they are interested.
Assembly
“Worshipping the Material” will be the subject of the address by Dr. Bruce Baxter at this morning's assembly. Willard Smith will play the organ selections, with Klebey’s “In a Monastary Garden” as the prelude, and Silver’s "Jubilante Deo” as the postlude.
League Report Effect Brings Varied Opinion
Japanese Government To Ignore Commission’s Recent Survey
escribed by
Conclusions Critical
Too Utopian
; Des Nations
as
LONDON, Oct. 3—(UP)—A sharp difference of opinion developed in European capitals today on how the League of Nations commission's report on Manchuria would affect Japan or China in their far eastern conflict.
Japan made known that its government would "ignore” the report of the commission, headed by IvOrd Lytton of Britain, which criticized Japanese military action and recommended establishment of an autonomous regime under China in Manchuria with a basis for future peace resting on new agreements between China and Japan.
But while Japanese spokesmen said the report would not change Japan’s fundamental policies, the best informed opinion in Great Britain was that the Tokio government had placed itself in an awkward position which eventually would be detrimental to Japan.
CALLED IMPRACTICAL
In Paris, official circles indicated that the report was favorably received and the semi-official Le Temps said:
“The report will clarify debate at Geneva in November and prepare the way for an accord. In any event the conclusions are such that withdrawal of Japan from the league apparently need no longer be envisaged.” .
In Berlin, it w-as said the report had lost its "practical value” because Japan already has recognized the new state of Manchukuo which her forces set up in Manchuria.
PARIS SKEPTICAL
The Paris press was skeptical of the benefits to be derived from the report, and described its conclusions as too utopian.
The London press generally suggested that the report offered little for a real solution of the Manchurian problem.
All newspapers praised the commission for its clear and impartial statement of the case, except the Daily Mail which charged the committee was pro-Chinese.
La Tertulia Club Plans Evening in La Buena Noche
