P.)-The most important question pressing upon the American people for so. lution is the foreign problem. The pol- icy of a Republican administration can solve it, former Governor Frank 0. Lowden of Illinois declared to- night in an address before the Michi- gan State Republican convention here. The primary cause of the great dis- tress among the world population he said, is the overproduction which was started in war times and has beenI continued, and the next case he said,, the deflation policies adopted by the federal reserve board in 1920. Both took place, he said, under a Democra- tic administration. Remedies proposed by the Republi- cans, Mr. Lowden stated, include sta- bilization of European markets and he added that the Dawes commission has done more to attain this end than any other factor. "If Europe shall entier upon a period of prosperity and if she shall furnish better markets for our farm products it is due entirely to the success of the Dawes commission initiated by a. Republican administration. The Democratic argument for tar- iff revision to aid agriculture are the same as employed in 1892, Mr. Low- den declared, adding: "In that year they were successful and the farmers of America learned as I believe for all time, that the do- Ic mestic market for their products was after all the best market and that they could not prosper with other Indus-~ tries bankrupt." "The years which followed the1 Democratic. tariff were the -hardestt the farmer had endured forha genera- tion."r The farmer, Mr. Lowden said, must depend primarily upon a home mar- k'et for his products for only the sur- plus is taken for the foreign market. The home markets, he added canonly take the farmers products at re-r munerative prices if there is gener- al prosperity throughout the land. This, he maintained is possible under the Democratic tariff plan. "If we are to prevent the further decline of land values in America," he said," we have got to depend uponr the American market for the sale of our products."', LIVERPOTL PRFSO x WILLTALKTO CHEMISTS' Illustrated with demonstrations, Prof. E. C. 0. Baly, senior professor of chemistry in the University of Liverpool. England, will lecture on' "Photosynthesis of Naturally Occurr- ing Compounds," at 4:15 today, in the chemistry amphitheatre. He is the first man ever to have made sugar synthetically. The experiments were made known two weeks ago in a meeting of the American Chemical Society, held at Cornell university, at which he gave a public demonstration of his experi- ment. That the manufacture of sugar could only be effected 'by duplicating the processes of nature. was the un- derlying theory with which Professor Baly worked with ultimate success. It has long been understood that the immense quantity of energy in the sun's rays played an imoprtant part in the reactions which go on in living plants. In place of the sun's rays he substituted ultra-violet rays in his] experiments.' The lecture at which he will explain his process will be open to all chemis- try students and to any others in- terested. HOT RIVETS Jimmie has found plenty of rooms for everybody.

MEDICS TO CONTROL Nust Agree to Abide by Honor Rules; All Classes Represented On Council REGENTS SUPPORT MOVE Students of the Medical school have virtually_ been given their complete self-government witht regard to thel conduct of examinations. Each stu~ dent must sign the following state- ment printed on the registration card: "I have read the rules for the conduct of examinations under the uniform honor system and hereby agree to abide by them." The system, as adopted by the Stu- dent body, of the Medical school, the; Faculty of the Medical school and the Board of Regents, at the close of the last school year, includes the Medical student council, to be composed of 9 students. The council for the ensuing year, according to the rules will be chosen in the following way: "One representative from the Freshman class, elected to hold office for two years; two from the Sopho- more class, one to hold office for two years, another for a one year term; three from the Junior class, one for a two-year term, the other two for one year; three Seniors, each for a one year term." For next year and afterwards the freshmen will elect one member who. will serve a two-year term. The Jun- iors will elect two, one serving a two year term and the other a one-year term. In this way a nucleus of three experienced councillors will be left. For this year one of the Seniors will be elected for the chairmanshihp. Thereafter the junior two-year man will automatically become chairman when he enters the senior class. The council's duties are entirely ju- dicial and are not at all concerned with the conduct of the examinations. The president of each class is to ap- point an executive committee, which will distribute, as well as purchase, and collect the examination papers. The executive committee also has power to fix the seating arrangement as it may deem necessary.- A nominating system is also pro- vided for by the rules which state that the "officers of each class shall constitute la nominating committee. For the year 1924-25 at least two members of the freshman class will be nominated, while four nominees will be chosen from the junior class, and six from the senior class. In the year 1925-26 two nominees will be se- lected from each lower class and four nominees from each upper class.

(By A. P.)- The problem of the ratio of the de- velopnment of submarines, surface ships and aircraft in the navy during .the next few years was 'handed by Secretary Wilbur todaysto the Navy General Board with instructions that it make a comprehensive study and, report to him at his earliest conven- ience. The secretarys' action was in keep- ing with a statement made earlier in the day at the white house that Presi- dent Coolidge was inlined to think that in its initial stages the aircraft inquiry should be considered solely from the naval standpoint. The General Board will be author- ized, to seek information from and the cooperation of officers in both the navy and army who have had exper- ience with aircraft units. .1 FLOWERS GREET WORLDCUIES San Pedro ends Shipload of Blossoms 1 To wecome World Touring PManes Honle, MOTHERS MEET PILOTS} Clover Field, Santa Monica, Cali c fornia.

P.)- The real enemies of the constitution are not the Reds and Bolshevists but, "corrupt and impotent public officials and heir associates" John W. Davis the Democratic presidential nominee declared in a letter writen today to Harry M. Daugherty in reply to thet one sent to him by the former attorney general. Expressing the belief that the real work of this campaign is the arous- ing of the moral sense of the Ameri- can people, "to condemn and to con-' ceal the betrayal of official trusts," .Mr. Davis wrote Mr. Daugherty that "this issue cannot be obscured by your forced efforts to represent the real contest of this campaign as one between the defenders of the consti-. tution and those who seek to over-i throw it udder leaders fresh from the baptism of bolsehvism in lurid and suffering Russia." "If the constitution is to endure," Mr. Davis added "the first requisite is that men who hold office under it shall be honest and faithful to their trust." Denying Mr. Daugherty's statement] that his allusions to the former at- torney general during the campaign had been "quite veiled," Mr. Davis said they had been "most direct and specific." He added lie had found "no warrant whatever for withdrawing any single one of them and then pro- ceeded to elaborate upon them in brunt fashion. Brushing aside Mr. Daugherty's statement that "Iris self respect" de- barred himf from appearing before the senaite Investigation conmmittee be- cause of the malice exhibited towarda him 'by it, Mr. Davis said it seemed to him that under the circumstances" the malice of the committee, and he increase than diminish the natural de- falsity of the evidence would rather sire of any man, much less an attorney general of the United States to meet his accusers on their own grounds." JAPAN NOW CONSIDERING WORLD AIRPLANE FLIGHT Takio, Sept. 23-(By A. P. --The TO NAVY BOAROiFOR OIL BETAA Michigan's great authority on in- ternational law, Prof J. S. Reeves of the political science department, has returned from Holland, where he was one of the two official representatives from the United States to the Acad- emy of International Law of The Hague. The other American repre- sentative was Prof. Philip Marshall Brown of Princeton University. Professor Reeves delivered a series of 12 lectures on "The Structure of the International Community-The Basis of International Law." On the program were 27 of the most prom- inent international lawyers in the world, representing almost that many countries. Professor Reeves was the third speaker on the program. All of the lectures were delivered in French, which is the official language of the Peace Palace. There were present at the meetings of the Academy 250 students of inter- national law, representing 28 different nationalities. Among these were 15 Americans, of which about ten were from the school of foreign service at Georgetown University, and the oth- ers from Harvard, Yale, and Califor- nia. surprised to find it impossible to de- termine a man's nationality by the views he expressed. Every lecturer has complete freedom of expression and is himself responsible for the ideas he expresses, yet no attempt was made to sway the minds of the other representatives by drawing con- clusions." Professor Reeves said that one of the finest things about the meetings of the Academy was that they were so arranged as to allow attendance at the sessions of the World Court, which, he said, are impressive and business-like affairs. "The mass of American poeple," he said," do not re- alize that it is an existant thing and is functioning right now, all the time, and is not merely supposed to func- tion at some distant time." Professor Reeves had the opportun- ity to hear a case in the court be- tween England and Greece regard- ing the powers of a mandatory, as concerns the British, control of Pales- tine. Professor Reeves returned last week, having spent a large part of his leave of absence, which began with the close of the first semester of last year, in traveling about the continent. He will resume his work in the University today. } 1 Y GERMAN CABIN[ PETITIONS LEA FOR MEMBER DELEGATES AT GENEVA PRAISE AT ACTION OF GERMANY PLANS RESTRIC' League Seretaries Were Con Armanent Situation I Germany Geneva, Sept. 23.

Unconfirmed reports also were re- ceived that Kiangsu agents had blown, out two bridges on the Shanghai1 Han,gchow railway between Shanghai and Kashink. Refusal of military authorities to permit observers to ap- proach the fighting lines made con-' firin-ation of such reports extremely difficult. General Sun has not proved accept- able to the Chekiang soldiers the re- port said and they are fast turning on the invading Fukien troops with which they allied themselves follow- ing their rebellion against Lu Yung Hsing, Commander of the forces de- fending Shanghai last week. A report from the south. which was given in official quarters, asserted that internal war had broken out in the province of Chekiong due to the appointment by the central govern- ment at Peking of Sun Chuan Fang, Tuchum of the province of Fukien as temporary ruler of Chekian. McMillan Plans Study Of Arctic I Freshmen discipline to a large ex- tent will be handled this year by a committee composed of members of that class if present plans materia- lize at the meeting of the Student council tonight. The proposed discip- linary committee will be made up of class officers and other appointed members of the class of '28. It is believed that this freshman committee will be capable of ade- quately handling any infringements of the rules governing the new men, but in the event that the committee does not mete out a severe enough penalty to offenders the regular dis- ciplinary committee of the Studentl council will take charge of the case. The disciplinary power is being given to the proposed committee in the be- lief that the freshman class should discipline offenders within its own ranks. It is the intention of the Student council to deal severely with any cases of public hazing. Prompt ex- pulsion from the University is the penalty for a violation of the admin- istration rules on hazing. It is to be hoped that such drastic action will be unnecessary but no sympathy will be shown should disciplinary action be necessitated.# many held the center of the at in Geneva tonight, and held it dra tically.

He will go norhi probably next June on a three-months; trip to select a site for a scientific staion for the study of geology, bot- any and ornithology. In making this known tonight, as he was leaving for New York, where he will spend the week, he said there is a wonderful field in Labrador, add- ing that no one ever has made an all year round study of the birds. A study of he Aurora Borealis also may be made there under most favorable con- ditions. Next year Captain MacMillan plans' to cruise he coast during the sum- mer, explore he deep bays and select a site for a building to be erected in 1926 if he can through his lectures raise funds to obtain a "very efficient staff of scientists of national reputa- tion to be at the head of the different departments."

Ferguson, Dem- ocratic nominee for governor of Tex- as, were introduced in court here yes- terday in an attempt to show there had been an agreement between Mrs. Ferguson and her husband, James E. Ferguson, that the later would be governor in case of the former's elec- tion. Quotations from the "Ferguson for- um," purported to have been written by Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, were con- tained in a supplemental petition filed by the plaintiff, Charles M. Dickson, who seeks an injunction disqualifying Mrs. Ferguson from holding the office of governor. One article quoted said: "The issue in this campign is the Ferguson issue and the Ferguson name and we need not quibble over first names. Jim I Ferguson is the only candidate for governor who has been telling the peo- ple about all this business (govern- ment economy) for the last two years Ask for a Ferguson ticket whether it begins with Jim or Miriam."
