"I agree very much with Sir George
that cancellation of the debts in some
form or other and the reestablish-
ment of world tradle on a solid foumida
tion would do much to relieve present
conditions. With a debt cancellation
agreement, the European nations
would be able to adjust their finances
and come out of their dilemma. A re-
adjustment is necessary, as Sir George
said, to open up markets for the coun-
tries which are hopeless in their
present financial status because they
can find no markets for their prod-
ucts.

In Memoriam
On April 1, 1916-nine years
ago today-James Burrill Angell,
a former Michigan president and
one of the outstanding educators
of the past century, passed away.
With his death came the conclu-
sion of a career almost without
parallel both from the standpoint
of longevity and of diversified
service to mankind.
He was inaugurated as presi-
dent of the University on June
28, 1871. From thi time until
his retirement 38 years later, he
devoted the major part of his
activity to furthering the interests
of Michigan. During this period-
the most crucial in the growth of
the institution--the University de-
veloped from a state of compara-
tive obscurity into the position
which she holds today as one of
the nation's major institutions of
learning. This progress was due
largely to the inspiring leader -
ship of President Angell.
On this anniversary of his
death, Michigan honors the man
whose career forms such an. in-
tegral part of her history. There
can be no other feeling than one
of reverence n contemplating a
life thus spent in promoting the
highest aims and ideals of our
civilization.

PROGRAM PLANNED E
With their initial banquet at 6:30
o'clock tonight at the Union, the In-
terfraternity council will :start In-

INION AMENDMENT
IEFEATED BY VOTE
IF SMALL MARGIN
ROPOSED CHANGE IN METHOD
OF NOMINATION LOSES
BY 5 BALLOTS
ARGUED LENGTHILY
pponents Contend that Privilege of
Running for Office Should
Be Unrestricted
After arguing pro and con on the
roposed amendment to th'e consitu-
on of the Union for an hour last
ght at a large general assembly of
nion members, a vote was taken and
me amendment was defeated by the
arrow margin of 50 votes. The final
ount stood 401 favoring the amend-
ent to 275 against it. As a two
irds majority is necessary under the
onstitutional provision, the measure
iled to become effective.
The amendment in question was in
egard to the method of nominating
andidates tb run frr the various
(nion offices. Under the present sys-
em, a nominating committee, appoint-
d by the president, names candidates
run for the offices and, in addition,
ny member who gets a petition sign-
d by 200 members asking that his
ame be placed on the ballot may also
un. The proposed change would have
lowed this much of the provision to
emain the same but all names of
andidates would have to be approved
y the board of dircetors of the Union.
t was expected that this provision
ould eliminate a certainsamount of
olitics from the elections.
A crowd of more than 600 men
acked the assembley hall on the sec-
nd floor of the Union by 7:30 o'clock
nd the meeting was called to order
y Thomas Cavanaugh, '27L, presi-
ent of the Union, who turned the
hairmanship over to Thomas Lynch,
z5L, ex-president of the Union. The
hairman read the amendment in ful
end then called for expressions of
pinion from the audience.
A number of speeches were made by
pokesmen for both sides, the chair
'ecognizing speakers as they asked
or the floor. The argument of the
affirmative was chiefly based upon the
ustice of permitting anyone to run
or the office of president of the
Jnion against men who had given two
>r three years to the institution on
:ommittees and other various kinds
f work required to keep up the stu-
lent activities. The speakers held
hat a certain amount of knowledge
f Union organization was necessary
:or the president and that those who
tad had experience in minor positions
vere better qualified to hold the of-
ee.
The argument of the opposition to
he amendment was based largely up-
>n the contention that as the Union is
t club for all men students in the
Jniversity, the privilege of running
or any office in the Union should not
e restricted to any limited group,
even though the members of that
group had served in various capaci-
'ies in the student activities.
Success Unlikely
In Unification Of
Church--Wenley
When asked his opinion of the pro-
posed union of the northern and
southern branches of several of the
protestant denominations, Prof. Rob-
ert M. Wenley, of the philosophy de-
partment, could hold out but little
hope for its consumation. He cited
the example of the Methodist Episco-
pal chudh which has been taking
steps to bring about such a reconcili-
ation between its two branches which
have been functioning separately since
the Civil war, at which time they
broke over the question of slavery.
Professor Wenley stated that "al-
though .slavery is now a dead issue,
the difference in theological views
existing in the two divisions at the
present time will continue to rendgr
a conciliation imnpossible." This opin-
ion was supported by the recent action
of the Baltimore conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church in reject-
ing the proposed 'unificatioh of the
northern and southern branches of
its organization.
"The reticence of the southern group
to accept new doctrines and policies
has allowed the northern churches to
advance far ahead of them," he said,
"a condition which has only served
