The question now stands: are the men atTechnology going to start immediately tocease purchasing Japanese goods: are theygoing to try to persuade their women to ceasewearing silk stockings?

HE activities and performances of theT. C. A. are many and varied, and some

of them are even definitely useful. However,it seems to be stretching its purposes some-what when the T. C. A. goes into the magazineselling business, even advertising on the bul-letin boards.

It is true that the magazine being sold hasa religious significance, but it would hardlydo to have the T. C. A. sell the publicationsof all the different religious sects, which isthe logical and fair conclusion of that policy.

At least that's the way it seems to us aftera little thought. Perhaps some different pointof view might have been brought out at theInstitute Committee meeting yesterday if thediscussion hadn't been ruled out of order. 7Wefail to see why there should be any reluctanceto discuss this matter. While this particularinstance might possibly be considered beneaththe dignity of the Committee, certainly theprinciple isn't. And of course it couldn't havebeen suppressed because the T. C. A. was con-sidered above criticism. And it couldn't havebeen because there was so much else to dis-cuss, for this is a very dull season of theyear for the legislators. And even at thata few matters were somehow omitted or over-looked, such as the eligibility of the JuniorClass for representation, after the repeatedabsernce of one of its members.

A legislator's life would be dreary indeedwithout discussions like these. They shouldnot be repressed. On the other hand if theyweren't, an editor's life would be more dreary.But we could stand even that, if it would helpliven up Institute Committee meetings. Andjust incidentally, of course, help get to thebottom of some of the questions brought up.

Smoke ?What To Do With Christmas Cigars

has at last been found out by one ofour illustrious faculty members (themember, not the faculty). Seems hehad some cigars that fell into theChristmas gift category. Seems alsothat he had a conference with a fresh-man coed.

Maybe he wanted to smnoke, himself,but whatever the reason, he offeredher one of his weeds. We would liketo report that she smoked the thingthrough, but we are a veracious being,and must report, sadly, that she sim-ply declined the proffered smoke.

SHALL WE ACT ON IT?

ESULTS of the "Boycott"' poll just heldby The Tech may show that a majority

of Technology students would join an un-official boycott of JTapanese goods, but a uni-formity of opinion regarding reasons for sucha boycott is noticeably lacking.

Of the 2:57 who voted for a boycott, only180 favor government legislation making suchtrade restrictions compulsory. And these twofactions presented reasons so numerous thatit would be a boring procedure to mentionthem all here. They ranged from a desire todeal a blow to "international fascism" to therather puerile caution to "avoid foreign goods-buy American." In between there was afear of becoming entangled in war throughrecurrence of a Panay incident, and a fear ofbecoming entangled in war with a sinisterJapan enriched with China's resources.

The hundred or so who declared themselvesentirely opposed to any sort of trade restric-tion on Japan also had numerous explanations.Some pointed out that America's history hasnot been exactly innocuous, which seems tous poor excuse for Japanese aggression underpresent-day ideology. Others claim that anenriched China will result from Nippon's rule,a claim which developments or rather the lackof developments in Manchukuo seems to re-pudiate. Still others assert that cutting offtrade relations with Japan would cause busi-ness stagnation in America. Wie do not believethis. Increased demand in American indus-tries, notably in the cotton and rayon field,and in a sraller way in the manufacture ofnovelties, will largely make up for our favor-able trade balance, decreasing each year, withJapan.

It is our opinion that a legal embargo wouldbe molre effective than an unofficial boycottwhich at present will probably embrace notmore than 60 per cent of the American people.Nearly 100 voters Wednesday disagreed withthis point of view. They believed that theprivate curb on trade is best, that a governl-ment edict would cause strained relations,perhaps war. But we do not feel that Japan,especially without our economic support, iscapable of seriously engaging in any war witha power of our strength, and especially oneso far away.

Puzzled, Not PassiveWe think it is about time to reply to the accusation

that our generation is apathetic and lacks the "fireof youth." Those who reached maturity before thewar complain that we have no vision, that we aren'tinspired to remake the world according to our heart'sdesire. Those who grew up during and immediatelyafter the war criticize our failure to kick over thetraces of convention in a manner which they considerto be characteristic of youth.

In reply to the first complaint, we might say thatwe have rejected the complacent optimism that pre-vailed at the turn of the century. Young people thenrealized that they lived in a world full of prnblems,but they thought of them as problems which, givena fair amount of tome, were capable of solution. Theyknew the answers. We don't know the answers andwe are not even sure there are any answers. Wedon't call this apathy; we call it healthy-minded skep-ticism. It would be ridiculeus for us to dream ofcreating a Utopia, for we have been forced by reasonto reject perfection in favor of amelioration.

The post-war generation rejected all standards andadopted a cynicism which they called realism. Some-times we envy these Scott Fitzgerald people, for theyhad fun getting themselves into the raised eyebrowdepartment. We just can't see that it got them veryfar, that's all. We are not quite so conventional aspeople seem to think, but we don't announce our"transgressions" to a shocked world. After all, ourpost-war predecessors did that for us.

As we see it, the optimism that existed before thewar and the pessimism which followed it were bothof them reactions prompted by emotion rather thanreason. VWhatever else we are, we flatter ourselvesthat we are a little more reasonable, a little moretruly realistic than those who have gone before. Weare not idealists nor are we cynics. We see whatshould be, but try to keep in mind what is. We arepuzzled but not passive.

at Tufts college. Last year Tech wason the short end of the 24 to 10 score,and this year in spite of lost practicethrough the Christmas vacation theengineers are all set to give the Tuftsgang a stiff contest.

During the week the team fired a

of the New England Intercollegiate

Matches, and since the targets have

to be sent to the National Rifle Asso-

Reasonsgiven for this opinion included vio-lation of neutrality relations throughgo-vernmnent action and destruction ofthe favorable United States trade bal-ance with Japan. while some desig-nated higher tariffs on Japanese goodsas the only efficient means of opposingJapanese policy. About three voterssaid that they approved only an of-ficial embargo, since private actionalone would be useless.

Japan, being a more progres-sive nation than China, will openup China's useful and hithertoundeveloped raw material. Japanwill hardly try to gobble up allAsia as the propagandists hav-eindicated. The world will benefitby the opening lp of new marketsand raw materials-yes, even theChinese will benefit,

Before we set ourselves up assanctimonious judges, let us con-sider our own record and remem-ber that until huma. nature canbe change d there will be war.A boycott would harm the Japa-nese people to a degree compara-ble to that they are inflicting onChina.

1. YES. 2. NO.
