some six million young psopia who
within six weeks to
will learn college with a peeelmtette
outlook on their own futures.
Almost ono-half of the men and
women in colleges and universities
in this country believe they are
facing a world that offers Isas op
portunity for success than it did
before the time they were bora.
These are the results of a poll
just conducted nationally hy the
Student Opinion Surveys of Amer
ica, the weekly sounding board of
college youth, of which The Bat
talion is a member.
A scientifically-defined eroes-
eection of students who asked, “Do
you think the opportunities for
most men and women to get ahead
today are as good as they may
have been thirty yearn ago?" The
economic problem of youth is no
myth to 48 ^r cent of the colle
gians, while the reel of them, 62
per cent, have* an optimistic view of
the world into which they are go-
ing.
Although very few college ste-
denta today have a personal knots-
ledge of conditions three decades
ago, their answers appear to he
on what they can aae now
and what they have learned about

vinced that opportunities have been
increasing, likt the Pennsylvania

SECRET NAZWAP TREATV IS
REVEALED IN SATEVEPOST STORY
t*
Philadelphia, April 26.—The ex-,
istenee ef a secret Japanese-Ger
man treaty to co-ordinate all the
political and military moves of
both countries in Western Europe
as well as in the Pacific was re
vealed by a former Soviet Gen-
pie University, answers negatively, I erml ^ ^ aStard ** E>r * llin * ^
today.
stating that the* number of youth
i increased, thus reducing the
number of available jobs. A Cornell
senior believes that success is there
for those with initiative, regardless
of conditions.
The growth of the use of machin
ery, the demand for more education,
and government regulation of in
dustry and employment are given
as reasons for a decrease in oppor
tunities to get ahead.
The survey also shows that stu
dents in the southern and west
central states are the most opti
mis tic, while lees than 60 per cent
of those elsewhere believe their
chances are better.
According to the author, repre
sentatives of the two countries
met in Berlin November 26, 1986,
and signed a public treaty directed
against the Soviet Comintern, the
Communist International organisa
tion with branches in every coun
try in the world. Actually, the
author says, this treaty was
meaningless blind for the see
pact which neither Germany nor
Japan has ever acknowledged.
The treaty is reported to have
been negotiated by Hitler’s Foreign
minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop
and General Hiroshi Oihima, who
was later promoted to Japanese
Ambassador to Germany at a re
ward. “Under the terms of the
secret agreement,’ the author ssys.
“Japan and Germany undertook
to regulate between themselves all
matters relating to the Soviet
Union and China, and to taka no
action either in Europe or in the
Pacific without consulting each oth
er. At the same time Germany
agreed to place its improvements
in the weapons of war at the dis
posal of Tokyo and to exchange
military missions with Japan."
The tmportanea to Aaerkaps of
this treaty, the author says, be
came evident in January of this
yuar, when Hitler appointed hr
personal aids, Captain Frit* Wiede
mann, eonsult-general at Sax F»m4
cisco. “Frits Weidemaan,” hs says,
“is s member of Hitler’s personal
entourage and one of the Fuehrer’?
