FAVROT DO UNTO OTHERS Now that we have national "movie", "auto", and "church" weeks, along with a few dozen others, it should be acceptable to establish a "borrowed book" week. At this time all people will be requested to devote a ittle time to going through their various book repositiories and returning all i those novels, textbooks, and other kinds of books which they have bor- towed from their friends during the preceding twelve months. Ceitain it Pt that there is no other article so often borrowed and so seldom return- ed. It has almost come to be recog- nized: when one lends a book he re- signs it to the borrower then and there. This practice is particularly notice- able around the campus. It is not the kind of think which makes for the most harmonious condition. The con- scant abuse of the privilege makes I many unwilling to lend a book they wish to keep more or less perman- ently. We suggest that readers of this paper make today their "borr'owed book" day and go through their ef- fects after other people's books. And incidentally, all this doesn't on- ly apply to books.

White3 R. C. Winter WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1924 POINCARE'S SUPP(WT The French elections have just been completed without any change of im- portance being effected in the sen- ate. As a matter of fact no party can, boast of a victory in these elections. One result of note stands out, and that is the almost unanimous elec- ion of M. Raymond Poincare for the Meuse. It shows very conceretely how much the people think of the way the former president of the French Republic is carrying out the affairs of France; it gives evidence of the unusual esteem and prestige that the premier enjoys among his fellow coun- trymen. So far as taking any active person- al interest in the elections, the pre- mier was far removed from, any such. 1-I did not attempt to place his stamp of approval on any one particular par- ty.

States should have some affiliation with it. And it likewise has been well understood that this country should not be bound by the Versailles treaty. The clauses dealing with interna tional law appear to be the most im- portant in Plan 1469. If international laws are to be observed, it is essen- tial that; they be given expert atten- l tion, that they be revised and develop- ed, as he prize winner suggests, "to reconcile divergent opinions, to con- sider points hitherto inadequately pro- vided for but vital to the mainten- ance of international justice, and in general to define the social rights and k luties of states." Plan 1469 appears at first glance to be somewhat of a disappointment. Some brilliant, novel, surefire idea had been expected by many, instead of this ,compilation of more, or less old sug- gestions for the e'mination of war. The plan evidently is an attempt to harmonize the conflicting features of these various suggestions which have, to some extent, represented the views of, posing political parties and fac- -tio t In that regard the plan l as g .h e ly a eme for end- ii tha u 0 entrary to t e es f any large group of peg would be predestined to fail- {ure.

Ii "Noma ORGANIZATIONS The idea that a drive for funds must be preceded by a heavy artillery of publicity in the Daily and elsewhere is- apparently based on the allacious theory that when the studeint reads in the paper that there is .going to be a drive he fills his jeans with extra coin to give the -nendicants..

Hence the time- liness of an item in the Worcester Telegram stating that Los Angeles in wealth has the highest per capita fig- ures of any city in the United States over 700,000 population. The glad news further has it that the wealth of men, women and children in Los Angeles by the head if $2974. Inspir- ing figures! Perhaps many readers of the glad tidings may decide to mi- grate to Los Angeles where with their $2974 they might buy themselves a good suit of clothes and some groc- cries and live in comfort for a little while. J.H.S. in the Boston Transcript comments humorous'y on this news with a hypothetical case. "Suppose that M. Andre Citroen, Lord Iwver- hulme and Mr. Henry Ford were all put on a dessert island, with modern I conveniences naturally, but desert as to other human beings. There they would be happy and contented as they, played knuckle-bone and loto. Sup- pose they had a store, at which they sold one to the other such alimentary conserves, agricultural tools, cloth- ing and toi'et requisites as are re- quired by refined people on desert isl- ands, and that the prices for these ar- ticles were fitting for men of much wealth. Go a step farther and sup- pose that you or some other respected citizen were deposited on the shores of that desert island by Jonah's whale, now advanced in years, or that you were shot there by a mutinous crew. Anyhow, you find yourself there and are welcomed. Now the minute you fetched up on that island your per capita wealth would have much in- creased and that of, the other gentle- men correspondingly decreased andj yet the same copper would jingle in your breeches pockets and the same gold in theirs.
