PRICE FIVE CENTS "EUROP E WAR DT CAN1BE SETTLEDONL ONLY WITH C GODS" -PROF. FRIDAY UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR STATES TRADE ALONE CAN BALANCE RELATIONS BUSINESS OUTLOOK IN THIS COUNTRY BETTER Heavy Indemnity Upon Germany Would Be Economically an Impossibility (G E. S.) It is the belief of Prof. David Fri- day of the political economy depart- ment that Europe's war debt must be paid in goods, and that the sooner plans are formulated which will ac- complih this absorption of the war- loans of the foreign nations the soon- er will normal conditions return, thus making foreign trade upon a large scale again possible. Debt Must Be Paid in Goods "All discussions %f Europe's debt to America," says Professor Friday, "must bear in mind the fundamental principle that it must be paid in goods. There is no other way.The general public seems to labor under the mistaken idea that we should en- deavor to export all we can to the European countries and receive money in payment. It is obvious that to secure the funds with which to pay these debts the countries con- cerned mrust earn it in trade. Great Britain will compete with the United States in the carrying of the ocean traffic of the world. Germany will send over dyestuffs to outsell those made in this country. France will send us manufactured goods which she willtryto sell in competition with those made in the United States. In brief, in discussing the debts owed this country by Europe it should be borne in mind that the only possible payment of this debt is in goods. How, then, can we expect to keep on ex- porting merchandise to them? West Indies Grant Impracticable "The recent proposal of Lord Rothermere to cede the West Indies to the United States in payment of part, at- least, of the -empire's debt to the Washington government, is hard- ly feasible. The West Indies are not of sufficient strategic importance to make them necessary and not rich enough in resources to offset the can- cellation of such a huge obligation. England can pay the debt in time, '.(Continued on Page Eight) Rumor Of Irish Debate Is Denied A statement in the Cleveland Plain Dealer that Prof. Edward R. Turner, of the history department, condition- ally accepted a challenge to debate the Irish question with Miss Mary MacSwiney, sister of the late Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork, has been emphatically denied by Prof. C. H. Van Tyne, of the same depart- ment. Professor Turner is out of town at the present time so that no statement could be obtained from him, but Pro- fessor Van Tyne declared that he had a long talk with Professor Turner last Friday and that there is abso- lutely no truth in the story. "Pro- lessor Turner would not be so fool- ish as to debate with Miss MacSwin- ey," said Professor Van Tyne. The challenge was issued by the Ohio branch of the American Associa- tion -for Recognition of the Republic of Ireland. It followed a speech by Professor Turner at Western Reserve university in which he took issue with some statements made by Miss Mac- Swiney in an address at Keith's thea- ter in Cleveland. EXAMINATION NOTICES The Daily will print What's Going On notices for the period of examinations and up to Feb. 24 in the- Saturday and Sunday issues of the paper. All notices must be turned in BEFORE 5 o'clock on Friday, Feb. 4. Responsibility Dual Under Honor System Of Taking Examinations That every person who takes a lit- erary examination under the honor system automatically subjects himself to a dual responsibility was decided at a conference of members of the senior honor committee with Dean Effinger's advisory committee yester- day afternoon. May Warn Offender In the first place, each student will be required, to sign a pledge stating that he has neither given nor receiv- ed aid during the course of the ex- amination. Secondly, it is understood that anyone who sees cheating going on in any form shall report the oc- currence to some member of the se- nior honor committee, with the sin- gle provision that he may warn the offender orally before the whole class once. It is expected that in giving such warning a student will not men- tion any names but simply say that MICHIGAN ELEVEN M B , f Football Game with California Possible If Schedules Permit Is BOTH SCHOOLS HAVE VACANT DATES; WILL TRY TO AGREE Michigan may mix with the Uni- versity of California in football next fall, as well as track this spring, if present plans proposed by the Michi- gan athletic authorities are acceptable to the Bruin management. At the time the arrangements re- garding the track meet were made with the Western school by P. G. Bartelme, director of athletics at Michigan, the possibility of a football game to fill the vacant date on the Wolverine schedule, Nov. 5, were dis- cussed. The.University of California has already filled this date, playing the University of Southern California at Berkeley, and has only Oct. 22 to offer. As Michigan could not getc out of a Conference game on. that date without forcing all of the Big Ten teams to shift, the California au- thorities were asked if the Bruinx game could be postponed or playedE earlier. If this arrangement can 'be effected Michigan will be host to thet California team next fall.c NORWORTH SOLE STA IN "MY. LADYFRIENDS"1 ........ t FARCE, AMUSING IN PARTS, NOTE EXCEPTIONAL IN STAGE VALUE. (By "Ha!")a There are two startling thingsc about "My Lady Friends" which open-c ed a two-night engagement at theq Whitney theater last night. The firsts of these is Jack Norworth, and ther second that it is Jack Norworth with-c out the girls and songs which havec been so much a part of him for the i many years during which he has en- joyed fame as a musical comedy star. As for the show itself, "My Ladye Friends" is not an especially amus- ing farce. The plot revolves aboutt the troubles of a perfectly "good"s married man who has the misfortuneE to enjoy spending his money, whilet possessed of a wife to whom spending is abhorrent. So, to gratify his de-c sire, the gentleman attempts to spread a little sunshine through the worldx and keeps three dear little things inl clothes, cars, and apartments. Ast you may imagine, complications arise,, but perhaps you won't imagine all of t them, and it is for a few of the un- usual turns which are given to thet plot that one may enjoy it.t Jack Norworth, as might have been expected, was the whole show. Play- ing the role of James Smith, a wealthy publisher of bibles, blessed he is aware that cheating is going on and that if it floes not cease he will be forced to turn in the name of the offender. The members of junior and sopho- more classes who agree to take an examination under the honor system in the coming finals thereby place themselves under the jurisdiction of the senior honor committee inasmuch as the trial is being made by the seniors in small classies ain w hich there are a majority of seniors. Committee to Consider Cases The senior honor committee will consider all cases of cheating that are reported to it and will make recom- mendation to Dean Effinger's advisory committee concerning the punishment of the offenders. Any person who is cognizant of cheating in an examination under the honor system must give the names of the guilty ones to one of the com- mittee whose membership iscas fol- lows: Lois DeVries, 21, Alice Hink- son, '21, Bernice Nickels, '21, R. C. Angell, '21, Lawrence Butler, '21, Stewart Baxter, '21, George Duffield, '21, H. W. Johnstone, '21, R. W. Kneebone, '21, and Donald Porter, '21. There will be a meeting of this committee at 5 o'clock Friday in room 306 of the Union. Members of the faculty giving ex- aminations under -the honor system reserve the right to seat the classes before the examination. "PENAL METHODS' NOUT EFFECTIVE - KIRCHWEY Criminologist Claims Crime Wave Not Reduced by Excessive Punishment ASSERTS BIG FACTORS ARE PREVENTION AND REDEMPTION "Crime is one of the worst diseases of the present day and yet the meth- ods employed to combat crime may be likened to the methods used by the medical profession in combating dis- ease more than a hundred years ago." Such was the assertion made by Dr. G. W. Kirchwey, ex-warden of Sing Sing prison of New York and for- criminals instead of turning them out school, in addresses made yesterday to undergraduates of the sociology and law departments. Ie called attention to the fact that the present penal methods depend on elements of rage, indignation, and re- venge and that these methods are supposedly meant to bring out the better characteristics in the criminal and make him a better citizen. "Law, in dealing with the massrof diseases which we call crime, pro- ceeds on certain assumptions which are indeed obsolete," he said, "and in so doing tends to destroy any self respect which ever existed in the criminalsinstead of turning them out of our prisons better men and women." Wants Scientific Study of Crim'e Dr. Kirchwey discussed the juvenile courts as they function in the vari- ous cities of the country and cited them as examples of the progressive steps now being made towards a sci- entific study of crime and its preven- tion. "Most of us are apt to think of a crime wave as an unprecedented oc- currence. Contrary to this idea, it is but a steady stream which has mere- ly forced itself into our view for a time. Capital punishment does not diminish crime and many of the dras- tic punishments now inflicted tend only to send the wrongdoer back in- to the world worse than when the law took him in charge. Our work is with prevention and redemption and it is only through these means that we can reduce crime." COMMITTEE IN FAVR HOLDING 3 CONVOCTIONS STUDENT ASSEMBLIES DURING BOTH SEMESTERS REC. OMMENDED UPPERCLASS COUNCILS TO CONSIDER PROBLEMS Project Thought to be Most Effective Instrument for Furthering Co-operation Recommendations for at least three general convocations of all students, and for as many meetings of up per- classmen as are expedient during the college year, were made yesterday by the upperciass committee on convo cations, appointed by LeGrand A. Gaines, '21E, president of the Student council, at the meeting of juniors and seniors Sunday, Jan. 23. Student opinion on the recommenda- tions will be solicited by the commit- tee at the next meeting of upperclass- men, and if approved, the recommend- ations will be carried to the President of the University. 'Members of the committee are: E. E. Wieman, '21, chairman; R. E. McKean, '21, Paul Eaton, '21, D. A. Forbes, '21, F. J. Petty, '21, F. L. Brewer, '21, and R. F. Grindley, '21E. Would Hold Three Meetings The committee recommends, first, that there be at least three general convocations of all students, presided over by the President of the Univer- sity, each school year; that one of these convocations be held during the first week of the fall semester, one between Dec. 1 and the Christmas holidays, and one during the first month of the second semester. The committee further 'recommends that additional general convocations be encouraged and that they be called at such times as shall be deemed ad- visable by the President of the Univer- sity and the president of the Student council. It is also recommended that the pres- ident of the Student council be author- ized, and is in this recommendation asked, to call meetings of the juniors and seniors on the campus for the consideration and discussion of stu- dent problems; that one of these meet- ings be called during the second week of each fall semester, and that others be called throughout the year as con- ditions, in the judgment of the council, shall make expedient. Furthermore, it is recommended that the council be required to call such a meeting if1 petitioned to do so by 100 upperclass- men. The committee believes that these recommendations, if carried out, will bring the students closer together, will help to solve many campus problems, and will bring about a higher degree of co-operation between the faulty and the students of the University. HENRY, WIFE SLAYER, GETS LIFE SENTENCE E. Henry, colored, husband of the late Mrs. Lulu Henry, who died Satur- day from blows upon the head wick a hammer, was sentenced by Judge Sample in the circuit court yesterday afternoon to life imprison- ment. Henry was found by Deputy Sheriff Harry Smith, who searched for two days for him in Detroit. His vigi- lance was rewarded Tuesday after- noon when he saw Henry on the cor- ner of Hastings and Clinton streets. Henry recognized Smith and ran, fin- ally disappearing into a store. With the aid of Warren C. Richardson, a colored detective, Smith captured Henry in the store. Henry admitted to Smith and to Judge Thomas this morning that he had struck his wife in the head with a hammer and pleaded guilty to the charge of first degree murder. The inquest into the death of Mrs. Henry was held at 7:30 o'clock last night in the circuit court room. Dr. Edwin C. Ganzhorn, coroner, was in charge of the case, assisted by Cor- oner Samuel Burchfield. BOARD OF REGENTS POSTPONE MEETING The February meeting of the Board of Regents, originally scheduled for, Friday of this week, has been post- poned until Friday, Feb. 11, on ac- count of the illness of President Mar- ion L. Burton. He is recovering slowly from the attack of pharyngitis with which lie has been confined to his home for more . than a week. His condition has remained about the same for sev- eral days, but there have been no complications of any kind. President Burton will not be able to return to his office before Monday. FIGUIRES USED REPRESENT MEN ON CAMPUS AT ONE TIME CALIFORNIA LARGEST; COLUMBIA RANKS NEXT Two speaking engagements which Walters' Counted Total of Summer he had made for next week have been Session and Part Time cancelled, one before the Pennsylva- nia Retail Lumber Dealers' associa- Students tion in Pittsburgh on Thursday, and the other before the Teachers' asso- Commeiting upon the enrollment ciation of Rochester, N. Y., on Friday. figures given out by Raymond Walt- ers, of Lehigh university, and publish- r RUM WAREHOUSES ORDERED C LOSED~ Officials Act to Stop All Illegal Liquor Sales in United States and t Territories WHISKEY PERMITS NOT TO BE 1 HONORED BY DISTILLERIES' (By Associated Press) t Washington, Feb. 2.-Scores of dis- tilleries and bonded warehouses int every state in the union, Hawaii andt Porto Rico were ordered indefinitely closed against liquor withdrawals by Prohibition Agent Kramer. At the same time wholesale liquor dealers were ruled out of further participation in the sale of the confiscated beverages4 by Attorney General Palmer. Commissioner Kramer's drastic or- der stopping the flow bf liquor from, storage and the attorney general's in-t terpretation of the Volstead act, pro-t bgbition officials said meant the elim- ination of the wholesale liquor sale' made possible the preventing of boot- legging through forged permits and il- legl disposal of intoxicants.1 Stoppage of liquor withdrawals all' over the country and in two of the territories was an extension of the order issued last week putting a banf on removal in New York, Pennsylva-' nia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Connec- ticut, Rhode Island, and New Jersey.t The order does not apply to withdraw- als of industrial alcohol or reasonable quantities of sacramental wines and makes an exception in the case of re-j tail druggists who are permitted to{ make withdrawals up to five cases off liquor at a time.f Warning against attempts to obtain whiskey despite the nation wide ban was sent out by Commissioner Kramer who directed all owners of distilleries and warehouses not to honor permits; for whiskey withdrawals "purporting1 to be issued by any state director, ir- respective of the state unless such, permit-is issued or approved by the1 director." COMEDY CLUB GIVES ONE ACT PLAY, "WHERE, BUT IN AMERICA" "Where, But in America," a one act playlet, was presented by several members of the Comedy club at the regular monthly meeting of the or-' ganization Tuesday night in Sarah Caswell Angell hall. Caroline Na- pier, '22, Elizabeth Vickery, '22, and Frank Andrews, '21A, assumed the principal roles of the play. Election of Andrews to the office of business manager to replace Jo- seph Avery, who is leaving the Uni- versity at the end of this semester, and Donald Thorp, '21, as treasurer, took place at the business meeting of the club. Plans for the production of the annual play, which this year is "Bunty Pulls the String" and which will be held at the Whitney theater March 9, were discussed. Wisconsin Senate Wants Disarmament Madison, Wis., Feb. 2.-The state senate voted to urge congress to take the initiative 'for world disarmament and withdraw immediately all Amer- ican troops from European and Asiatic countries, including possessions. ed in yesterday's Daily, Dean E. H. Kraus said: "The figures given were for the entire year, including both summer session and part time - stu- dents. If the various institutions of the country were compared on' the basis of registration as for Nov. 1, consisting of all students enrolled at that time, the University of Michigan would be third in order, California and Columbia taking first and second places, respectively. "California, as shown by Mr. Walt- ers' figures," said Dean Kraus, "has 11,071 regular student enrollment. Columbia university is next with an enrollment of 8,488, having had at that time only 30 more regular students than this University. Therefore the Universities of Michigan and Colum- bia are practically tied. Illinois un- iversity is fourth with a regular stu- dent enrollment of 8,250. Undoubtedly California's lead should be reduced considerably because students count- ed twice have not been deducted." Other Large Summer Schools Acording to Registrar Arthur' G. Hall the comparison made by Mr. Walters is a difficult one since it .con- tains both summer session and part time students and the Universities of California, Columbia, New York, Chi- cago, and Pennsylvania have large en- rollments of this character, "The University of California," said Registrar Hall, "has as large a sum- mer session enrollment, as Columbia university. The latter has a large ea-s rollment in the teachers' college, also. A large proportion of students enroll- ed in New York university attend the college of commerce which is situated in the downtown section of New York City. This condition is prevalent also in the University of Pennsylvania. Largest Number on Campus "Oux enrollment will be materially increased," said Registrar Hall, "when our second semester students are add- ed. Some institutions have larger sec- ond semester enrollments than others. The enrollment figures as give by Mr. Walters were based on .the pre- liminary enrollment of Nov. 1. In any event, we have a larger number of students on the campus at any one- time than any other institution in the United States. It is a unique fact, too, that 95 per cent of the students of the University of Michigan live within a one mile radius of the campus." Cloppet"Talks On Anabole France , Jean B. Cloppet, director of the Cer- cle Francais, in a lecture on Anatole France delivered before that body at 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon in Tappan hall, explained the character- istics and philosophy of the famous novelist and critic by reference to his works. Mr. Cloppet stated that "Le Livre de mon Ami," is Anatole France's best book because it brings out to the fullest the irony, imagination, an cynicism which distinguishes all of his works. "He writes in a clear style, and is a great literary artist," said Mr. Cloppet. R. '0.T. C. NOTICE 39 Students . are required to complete the en- rollment in the infantry unit of the R.O. T. C.
