pen meeting in 318 Student Union, backed y I. R. club, will feature Donald D. Johnson
The United States’ policies regarding the internal affairs e Latin-American republics will be discussed at 3:15 this moon by Donald D. Johnson, lecturer In history and in-ational relations, in an open meeting of the International tions club in 318 Student Union.
! Having done considerable work in I the field of Latin-American history,
! Mr. Johnson will be well qualified j to give an answer to the question of whether or not this hemisphere can exist partly democratic and partly fascistic. Closely allied to this problem is the matter of taking an active hand in the Uitemal affairs of other nations, and it too will come under discussion during the course cf the meeting.
According to Mr. Johnson, the problem in essence is how “the United States can find a way between two positions—one being that unity in the Americas demands an adherence by all American nations in internal as well as external affairs; the other position being that the internal affairs of each nation is its own concern.”
In an endeavor to find out what SC students think should be done to improve our relations with our southern neighbors, the International Relations club delegated Eva Kulka. a member of the club, to conduct a survey of the campus. J Nine persons were interviewed by Miss Kulka. The first one was Minor Meek, a Costa Rican architecture student, who declared that “norteamericanos” should strive to learn more of the culture and history of the Latin-American peoples if they wish to get along better with them.
Edith Haas, a graduate student, firmly believes that there should be more student exchange, particularly from the United States, while another graduate student. Robert Parent, whose specialization is social studies, suggests more travel to obtain greater hemispheric solidarity. “If all countries concerned would realize that there is a definite difference in their cultures and temperaments and if both would reconcile themselves to these facts there would be better relations.” maintained sophomore psychology major Bob Beller.
Fanny Kvriax, sophomore and history major, believes that the western hemisphere should be considered as one entity instead of a North and South America, while the opinion of journalist Johnny Waiter is that “the different languages of the two Americas should be taught from grade school on.”
Even music comes in for criticism. Bacteriology major Frank Dahl exclaimed that “presentation of Latin-American classical music (Continued on Page 4)

Supreme court refuses to stay death sentence
Jap general's trial by military tribunal gets majority support
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. — (U-P) — The supreme court today refused to stay the hanging of Japanese Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita as a war criminal.
It ruled that the doomed "Tiger of Malaya” received a legal trial from the U. S. military commission which sentenced him at Manila iast Dec. 7 and therefore refused to intervene in the case.
Yama.shita’« fate now rests with Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the man who made good Lis vow to return to the Philippines and drive out the Yamashita-led Japanese conquerors. MacArthur, as theater commander, will have the last say on the death sentence which is reviewable by army authorities in the Philippines theater, but not— as in court martial cases—by the war department and the president. Yamashita was ccn'icted of condoning some 60.000 atrocities by his ly $175,000, according to C. Raimond troops during the conquest of the Johnson, professor of architecture. ~
The structure will be completely i modem in design. Professor Johnson stated, even though it is con- j sidered a temporary solution to the increased enrollment problem.

Speaker to the SC chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers at its meeting tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. in 206 Engineering will be Fred Converse, professor of civil engineering, California Institute of Technology. Professor Converse will discuss “Soil Mechanics.”
“Soil mechanics has become a factor of great importance in modern construction,” stated Dick ! Roether, president of the SC chapter of ASCE. “Professor Converse ; has had extensive practical experience through his work with the Donald R. Warren company, one ot

In enumerating the values of fraternities, the Bishop said, “An individual in a national fraternity has the weight and momentum of being something bigger than himself. He has the strength which comes through unity.”
Comparing the strength of a national social group to that strength which came to us when the original 13 colonies united. Bishop Stevens pontinued, pointing out that the snobbishness of the old fraternity is gone. He recalled the days of the snobbish “Scholar and Gentleman” who has been replaced by the more democratic scholar and citizen.
“Life moves too fast-for snobbishness to be any part of it,” said the Bishop. “A fraternity is no better than the men who compose it, but I believe that it tends to bring in a finer type of man.” After he had finished speaking,

The court, in a 6 to 2 opinion written by Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone, endorsed the theory that the laws of war make a military commander responsible for atrocities committed by his troops.
Justice Frank Murphy, former U. S. high commissioner to the Philippines, and Wiley B. Rutledge vigorously dissented. Murphy held that Yamashita has been denied “due 1 process guaranteed to 'any person’ under the fifth amendment to the constitution.”
“The immutable rights of the individual,” he said, “belong not alone to the members of those nations that excel on the battlefield or that subscribe to the democratic ideology.
“They belong to every person in the world, victor and vanquished, whatever may be his race, color or beliefs. They rise above any status of belligerency or outlawry. They survive any passion or frenzy of the moment. No court or legislature or executive, not even the mightiest army in the world, can ever destroy them.”
