P.)--President Coolidge, addressing members of the Women's - National' Committee for Law Enforcement from the south portico of theWhite House today told them sitcessfu 'law en- forcement depended prirmarily upon the. measure of. public'sentiment for observance of. law. . " sometimes wish,"the"President said, "that peo- ple would put a little inore emphasis upon the observance o. the law than they do upon 'its enforcement. - It -is a maxIm of our institutions that the government does not make the peo- ple. hlt the people make the govern- mrent. -That- is why -a gathering, of this kind is so encouraging to me." The president who received:the com- mittee after they had heard addrsses on the subject by the two new mem- bers of his cabinet, Attorney General Stone, and Secretary Wilbur and other speakers, emphasize that the only practical means for stimulating respect for law was ceaeless "awakening of the conscience to movements such as come from your activities an through a determination that there shall be a new order of things." Library Will Stay Open For Vacation During vacation the general library will be open to students for the regul- ar hours, and departmental libraries will be open for a few hours every day.

"What she has done has'tbeen to cancel her debts with worthless paper, paper which has an infinitely small value." "England, whose share of the war was almost as large as Germany's, hh-s paid off her internal debt com- pletely, and with money that was, comparatively, at par. France has also paid off her enormous debt, and she paid it with currency which was only slightly depreciated." When asked what he thought would be a fair amount of reparation for Germany to pay, Mr. Hughes said, "Of course it is possible that the fig- ure set by the Reparations commis- sion, 33 billions of dollars, may have been too high. It is extremely diffi- cult to say exactly what Germany can pay. Up until now she has paid a billion dollars a year, five billion in all. But increasing population will increase her ability to produce, and thereby increase her capacity to pay." Mr. Hughes favors the suggestion made by General Dawes' commission on reparations that the reparations' MacDonald Labor government in Eng- land, Mr. Hughes said that many peo- ple thought that the advent of the labor party in England meant the ad- vent of some form of Russian Bolshev- ism. "These people," he hastened to explain, "are the only ones who are disappointed with the working of thej labor government thus far." 1 The MacDonald government may fall' at any time, according to the Australian statesman. Ile expects the English labor leader to bring for- th some matters of domestic or for- eign policy on which he will not havej a majority, thus necessitating an ap- peal to the people. Mr. Hughes be-1 lieves that in all probability this is- sue will be a question of naval policy, possibly the Singapore Base issue., Mr. Hughes, who h-imself has been connected with every Labor govern- ment in Australia since 1904, believesl that the MacDonald government is at least attempting to satisfy the essen- tials of a good labor government, that is, the improvement of the condi- tions of the masses, the abolition of privileges and privileged classes, as such, the giving to labor a largerI share of the wealth which it produces,, and a high standard of living condi- tions for all people. -"----- BALL TEAM LEAVES SFOR SOUTH TODAY 15 Men Selected by Coach; But Sophomores Chosen for Journey Three FIRST GAME TOMORROW WITH UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY Michigan's Varsity baseball squad, composed of Coach Fisher, Manager' White and 15 players, will depart at= 5:30 o'clock this afternoon from the' M. C. station. for their annual invas- ion of the South. The first game will be played tomorrow with the Univer- sity of Kentucky nine at Lexington. The final selection of players was made yesterday afternoon, with five pitchers, two catchers, seven regular fielders and one utility man included 'in the selection. The infield will line up against Ken- tucky with Wilson on first base, Giles. on second, Dillman at short stop and George Haggerty on third base. Bach- man will play in left field, Kipke will cavort in. center field and -Coleman will play the right field. Captain Jack Blott will play behind the plate, with Baker as relief catcher. Deview will act as infield and outfield utility man. Coach Fisher will probably use two men on the mound in the initial con-' test..

C., April 10.-(By A. P.)-Lines for the major contest of the revenue bill in the senate were de- finitely drawn today by lannounce- mnent of Democrats on the income tax plan they will propose as a substitute for the Mellon rate placed in the mea- sure by finance committee republicans. The bill as framed by the, finance committee was introduced in he sen- ate by Chairman Smoot, who said he expected to call it up for considera- tion next week. Senator Robinson, Arkansas, democratic leader, joined Chairman Smoot in the suggestion that the bill be taken up next Wed- Inesday. The income tax schedule, introduced by Senator Simmons, North Carolina, ranking Democrat on the finance com- mittee, is a radical departure from I the plan of Garner, Democrat, Texas, which was supported by house Demo- crats, and approaches very closely, the Longworth compromise rate adopted by the house. It provides for a maximum surtax rate of 40 per cent applicable on in- comes of more than $500,000. The house maximum rate was 37 1-2 per cent on incomes over $200,000. The rate on $200,000 in the Simmons pro- posal is 38 per cent. The maximum rate in the Garner plan, was 44 per cent, on all incomes over $92,000.1 The committee bill would make the maximum surtax rate 25 per cent on all incomes over $100,000. Senator Simmons announced that the plan he proposed today would raise three million dollars more re- venue annually than would the In- come bill carrying the Mellon normal surtax rates. Meanwhile, the senate finance com- mittee took up today the soldiers{ bonus bill passed by the house and which Republicans of the committee have agreed to support. On request The first annual faculty-student mixer was held last night under the auspices of the Student Christian as- soc ation and the Union in the assemb- ly hall of the Union which was pract-' ically filled by the men who gathered to hear the comedy, satire, and novel- ty numbers of the program. I Faculty men of all colleges and a wide representation of students were present to create the laughter of the evening. Special music by a student orchestra and the University Glee club, short talks, and refreshments completed the program. Thomas J. Lynch, '25L, and Harry C. Clark, '24, spoke for the students, while Prof. F. N. Menefee of the engineering col- lege, Prof. Joseph Hayden of the pol- itical science department, and Col. H. W. Miller of the engineering college represented the faculty. Charles Livingstone, '25, and J. K. Dunn, '24, headed the committee in charge of the mixer. Assisting them were a number of sub-committees. To illustrate the success of the first mixer, committeemen point out the banner attendance, the unusually friendly spirit of those present and the, fact 'that many groups of students re- mained to talk with faculty men moreI than 30 minutes after the mixer, while} two groups remained with faculty members more than an hour.
