Map of Far East Displayed in 502 Pictures War'Prominent Pacific Isles Do you know that Vladivostok, the port whose use the United States has been seeking from Russia, is only 495 miles from Japan proper? Do you realize that Japan has over 250 persons per square mile, while Aus tralia has only two for the same area ? These facts and many others may be ascertained from a study of the new Atwood Regional-Political map of Aus tralia and the Far East on display in room 502. Part of Russia, China, all of Japan, the Philippine Islands, Australia, New Zealand, and numerous small islands prominent in the war news may be viewed on this map. Four appended maps show the uneven- ness of land surface, the annual rainfall, distribution of people, and land utiliza tion of the Far East. Chemistry Club Qets Negative Response In Poison Qas Poll The student body is overwhelmingly opposed to the use of poison gas in warfare, according to the results of an opinion poll sponsored by the Chemistry club at the Nov. 30 assembly.

Eighty-four per cent of the students oppose using gas against German cities; 11 per cent approve its use, and 5 per cent have no opinion.

Lecturer Confident Belgium Will Qain Freedom, Importance Belgium has always succeeded in winning freedom, declared Betty Bar- zian, Belgian journalist and refugee, in a lecture on Dec. 1 to members of the history and commercial law classes. Admitting the tragic shortage of food, clothing, and shelter in her native coun try, and the crippled condition of trans portation, Mrs. Barzian insisted, never theless, the destruction in this war is less extensive than was the destruction in World War I, and expressed the belief that the Belgian people, through the cooperation of the Allied Nations, will regain their former status as a great nation. Mrs. Barzian discussed in some detail the influence of the revolutionary com- munisic element in her country, and she spoke enthusiastically of the force of the Belgian underground movement. A graduate of the Brussels School of Journalism and of the College of the City of London, Mrs. Barzian is a con tributor to Fortune, Life, and Time.

Seminary Librarian Notes Critical Principles The Roman Catholic Index is prob ably the most mysterious, most misun derstood book in the world, declared the Reverend Harry Koenig, librarian at St. Mary-of-the-Lake seminary, in an address to religion classes, Nov. 30. Issued regularly since 1450 under the direction of the Congregation of the Holy Office in Rome, with the Pope as director, the Index includes the Church's principles for judging books as well as an alphabetical list, by au thors, of prohibited books and writers. Ordinarily, Father Koenig observed, the Congregation considers only those books called to its attention, chiefly vol umes dealing with religious or moral matters. Usually, Father noted, not less than 10 nor more than 20 books are condemned per year, a small number when we consider that 10,000 titles arc published each year in the United States alone and over 50,000 each year in the entire world. Automatically prohibited as violating the moral law, Father Koenig conclud ed, are all books which are opposecLto religion, morality, and the Catholic Church; all editions of the Bible and all liturgical books not approved by ec clesiastical authority; religious books by non-Catholics; all works that deal with superstition, and all immoral books.
