...Stimson Doctrine" of unyielding nonrecognition of Manchukuo. Abruptly last week President Roosevelt moved to pin on Manchukuo an odium worse than any attaching to Russia. The President sent the State Department's assistant chief of Far Eastern Affairs, Stuart Fuller, to read a 1,700-word U. S. protest anent Manchukuo to the League of Nations' Opium Commission in Geneva. Pointedly ignoring the existence of any such state as "Manchukuo" and insisting that its territory is the rightful property of China, Mr. Fuller, while careful not to mention Japan by name, denounced the regime behind puppet Regent Henry...
Offense & Rules. The tightening of defense has produced two conspicuous results this season: increased use of the forward pass, and a protest against technical rulings which hamper the offense. Teams like Carnegie Tech, U. S. C.. Pitt and Army have been rolling through every sort of defense with shrewd, expert passes.

In fact, we feel that the cadets should be in sympathy with our anti-war ideology, as should every sane human...
...indifference to the menaces of war which are being brought home to every liberal minded student in every national development. We need only point to Fascist Germany, Imperialist Japan, and the armament competitions in the face of disarmament conferences. To us Armistice Day is significant time to render a protest against such indifference as we find to these dangers. As members of Harvard University we feel that our protest should be conducted on the grounds of the University. And the presence of guests of the College at that time should not militate against this feeling on our part, especially...
