CURIOSITY Events of the past week afforded a striking example of the laxity with which students avail themselves of their opportunities. A straw ballot was taken on the campus with the in- tention of finding out which of four World Court plans was pre- ferred. During the vote, however, one constantly heard such remarks as "I don't know enough about this World Court movement to vote on it." Anyone making such a statement, is admitting the laxity of his interest in affairs of vital importance to the future peace of the world. Every op- portunity has been given the students to acquaint themselves with the sit- uation. No less than ten talks have been given on the various phases of the World Court question in the last week . No less than six full columns have been published in The Daily re- garding those talks, giving notice of them beforehand, and reviewing them later. Beside this, there has been a large amount of publicity given in both The Daily and metropolitan pa- pers concerning the recent remarks of Senator William E. Borah and stu- dent conferences held in other uni- versities. Wednesday night 78 people went to the Natural Science auditorium to hear one of the country's leading au- thorities on international law explain several of the most perplexing prob- lems of the world today. A professor who is accustomed to speaking before regular classes of four or five hun- dred-it seemed ridiculous for him to give such an enlightening and worth- while talk before such a small group. At the same time three foreign grad- uate students gave the audience an unusual opportunity to hear first hand information on the attitudes of other. nations toward world peace. Tuesday night a similar spectacle was produced at Hill auditorium when+ barely enough people to fill one sec- tion of the main floor went to hear an interpretation of the World Court supporters' arguments for the inter- national tribunal by a representative of the National World Court commit- tee, Ex-Gov. William E. Sweet, of Colorado. In spite of these opportunities, stu- dents are forced to admit that they don't know enough about the World Court to vote on the ptraw ballot! Such admissions of ignorance are inexcusable. They not only admit a lack of knowledge of the World Court, they admit a lack . of intellectual curiosity in regard to matters of world importance. Ex-Governor Sweet commends the rising tide of, student interest in international questions. Does the support given the Michigan conference indicate that the students of this University merit any of that commendation? TAIBoURINE Before we will take our pen in hand again, many of our esteemed readers will have seen "Tambourine" the much heralded Union Opera. We are taking our sebatical leave of ab- sence next week, and so we fear that you will be interested to note that there will be no more ROLLS until next Wednesday's issue. This leave will enable us to make a trip to Texas or wherever it was and investigate this rumor about Zilch. What we were going to say, is that we hope that you can wait until that date to read the review of this new spectacle which is coming to the Whitney. We plan to send an adequate staff to cover it fully and in detail. * * * THIS IS NOT A PUZZLE PICTURE STANLEY LEWY " " - There! we have one too. Every de- partment in this paper has run the pictures of the Opera, except this one. We feel that we cannot be left out of this great photographic contagion which seems to be sweeping this of- fice. We don't know anything about this boy except that his name is written on the cut, so we are sure that that's his name. He may, be in the orches- tra, which we hear is to be in costume this year, or he may dance or sing, or whatever else they do in Operas. Nevertheless his face appears in everything about town that is printed, so we join the mob. We are nothing if not democratic. * * * Which reminds us of the good old jest about some dignitary about the country. It seems that some paper spoke of him being "Nothing if not Democratic" and a paper of the other party copied this and added: "And he is not Democratic." * * S LIMERICKS MUSIC !!

HALL .ENATE RULES he Senate opens tomorrow, the Vice-President of the United States will actively inaugurate his campaign for the revision of the Sen- ate rule ~ ich at present allow un- limn Ite and permit minorities to so obstruct important legislation that they occupy a position entirely out of proportion to thei numerical strength. Whatever the results of his campaign may be, Mr. Dawes is sure to figure prominently in the newspaper reports, and the vice- presidency will be removed from the position o" political isolation that it has occupied for so long. 3 s i . EDITORIAL COMMENT I A self-made said, For Success sole Head But his poor Swelled and strain Reformer once I must be the little brain burst with the The new presiding officer of the Senate has won the popular approval of the people, who admire his char- acteristic enthusiasm and disregard for obstacles, and the efficiency with which he has concluded several of his campaigns, notably the Dawes settle- ment of Europe's difficulties. And his "Hell n'Maria" type of oratory ap- peals to the American love of the theatrical. The people will be back of the Vice-President when he storms that redoubt of time-honored customs -the Senate. As to whether the rules should be changed, however, authorities differ. While it is true that a very small group of senators may conduct a fili- buster that is capable of blocking legislation desired by the majority, 1)th in the Senate and in the country at large, such a condition is not espe- cially harmful except in the case of appropriations which are vitally necessary. The House of Representatives has freed itself to a great extent from in- cumbering rules and is able to act with less chance of successful oppo- sition by a minority. But the change has resulted in the House becoming more of a partisan battlefield and less of a body which debates important questions and is in possession of all the relative facts when it finally votes. A similar change in the Sen- ate would allow the majority party to rush legislation through both houses without any real argument on it at all-,and haste, while some- times necessary, is usually unwise. The American political system de- pends on a system of checks and bal- ANTI-FOREIGN? To the Editor: In his comment on the question of extra-territoriality in China which I referred to in my speech before the International Students' Forum last Wednesday evening, Professor Reeves made some remarks which are so mis- leading that, if left uncorrected, they will cause serious misunderstanding on the part of the American public of the question at issue. Professor Reeves said that China granted extra-territoriality to foreign powers herself because she desired to have trade with these powers, and because she wanted to use it as an in- centive to induce foreigners to es- tablish trade there. This statement is far from the truth. China in the past never desired to establish trade with any foreign country. In fact she wanted to keep her door closed, for she was afraid that the foreign powers would cause serious trouble to her. She was forced to open her door only after the Opium war with Grea Britain. in 1840. The principle of extra-territoriality was forced on her by the British after that war. The other foreign powers simply took advantage of the privilege se- cured by the British and demanded the same, which China at that time was helpless to refuse. She never desired it and never welcomed it.' Even if we grant that she had desired it at that time, it does not follow that she should not demand to have it abolished now. Time has changed; ~situations have changed. The world uand China have bothdmoved more than eighty years. Moreover, the for- eign powers have abused this special privilege too far. The recent Shang- hai and Canton massacres have more than anything else justified China's1 demand of its immediate abrogation. -Alfred S. T. Pu, Grad. So now the Old Union is dead. -SNACH * * * SLEEP We just heard the story about the man who entered the Dean's office in a very questionable condition, stag- gered into his presence and asked for a drink. When he was questioned as to whether he was intoxicated or not, he answered that he was not but was just very sleepy, and wanted to go home to bed. Unfortunately the Dean was not conversant with the new theories of sleep, so the student fared not so well. * * * SANTA'S POST OFFICE NOTICE: In order to relieve the conlgestion at the Ann Arbor past office, tis department has decided to open a Santa Claus M1ail Headquart- ers.
