Kco spoke at the chapel service on Sunday morning before 1,200 stu dents, faculty members, and towns people.

The first of these came about in 1933 when the League of Nations dropped the Manchuria problem; TO questing that no one recognize the province as a possession of Japan. The Japanese immediately asked China to recognize the province as be longing to them, which they refused. The second concerned the economic situation. Japan asked China to con fine her production to raw materials and allow Japan to develop her indus tries. This the Chinese also found ne cessary to refuse. Shortly after - this; the Japanese requested that China discontinue hiring European and American men to instruct her armies and air carp and allow the Japanese to replace them. Again China re fu,sed. Later, after China had lost four provinces, the Japanese requested five more, which amounted to one-fifth of the territory and in which lived 80,- O'Brien Selects Debating Squad 24 Named After .

The last request was I for China to maintain a governnient subservient to the Japanese. Both were refused. In July of this year, China took a definite stand on the Japanese re quests. They degided they had yield ed too much already and refused to givd any more, outlining their pro gram in three parts. They decided to yeild no more ter ritc.:w to Japan, aloe• no interference by the government at Tokio and pro hibit the forming of any more local agreements betiveen the two coun tries. At the same time, Dr. Kco pointed out, three things happened that have been of great importance to the Chi nese. They achieved the political un ity for which they had been strug gling for 25 years, the Chinese were now taking the actions of the Japan ese seriously; and the international situation caused the people to replace their policy of peace with one of mil-. itariza Dr. Koo did not. fail to paint out the side of the Japanese people. Ile said they were not to Idolise for the war, soil that they did not scant war. ' Ile added that they were most unfor tunute to have a constitution that gave the minister of war, the minis ter of the navy, and the chief of staff full control.
