Dr. Eckel Presents "Postwar Plan For Asia" in IRC Talk

"«nhan. and R. D. Chapman.—AS god-emperor ideology of Japan.
A world commonwealth of nations with regional divisions having the power to settle problems peculiar to their areas, was suggested by Dr. Paul E. Eckel as the basis of a lasting peace, when he talked to members of the International Relations club Tuesday night on “A Plan for Post-War Security in Asia.”
Explaining this new slant on post-war association of nations, Dr. Eckel presented as an example a proposed plan for regional organization of Asia. He made dear, however, that his plan^ or any other plan, could not be a success in the Far East nntil three prerequisites had been satisfied. Elimination of Jap Ideology First, Dr. Eckel declared, there must be an elimination of the
He compared this ideology to Nazism, but shewed how much more integrated: it is in the life of the Japanese people, having existed since 186?, than the comparatively recent Hitler theories. He feels that the Japanese are determined that! the world will never have peace until their emperor reigns ov«r it. Regarding this, he said:
“It is the onei binding force of the nation. It . is this concept that must be uprooted.”
The elimination of the divine race and divine ruler ideology will not be easy, but Dr. Eckel feels that if Hirohito abdicates, and his son put on the throne with a liberal regency, it may be achieved through education as it was created through education.

Reviewer Finds Giannini Impressive In Performance at Second Concert
Giannini was impressive at times, especially in the round clarity of her middle range, but oq the outer fringes of her range, both high and low, she seemed unable to rise above the orchestra. It was impossible to tell whether it was her fanlt or the orchestra’s. As a whole, the orchestra accompanied well, and Giannini sang beautifully. However, in the “Connais tu le pays” of Gounod, the flute fumbled its important obligato, and the whole orchestra followed suit.
“Ah Perfido” of Beethoven, which was the only aria the soprano sang which was not extracted from an opera, was‘sung with drama and feeling, and which were not covered by the orchestra but three times, and those only briefly. The lyric recapitulation was the high point of her afternoon’s singing. “Plus Grand Dans Son Obscurité,'- the least familiar of her arias, was uninteresting. As encores, Giannini gave her over-interpretative reading of the “Habanera” from “Carmen,” by Bizet, and a Santuzza aria from “Cavalleria Rustieana,” by Mascagni.
The Schumann piece-de-resist-ance was long, but exciting through the five movements. The Scherzo, lightest in vein, was the best received, but the first movement was played with more feeling for the true spirit of the nationalistic work. The ending of (Continued on Page 5)
peace he suggested is the crushing of the military system of Japan. The “ruthless efficiency” of the Japanese military machine makes this the toughest job.
“I don’t expect any crack in Japanese morale until they’re battered to the ground,” Dr. Eckel declared. He based his opinion on experiences he had while teaching for six years (1929-35) at the University of Commerce in Kobe. Even at that early date he witnessed army maneuvers in which students were being taught guerilla warfare in case of an invasion of the island.
Nationalistic movements in the Orient have to be recognized and ‘restricted if peace is to be found. Dr. Eckel said, listing his third and last prerequisite.
