ASKS WITHDRAWAL OF
REC'OGNITION OF MEXICO
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, March 4.-
Withdrawal of American recog-
nition from the Mexican govern-
ment was demanded in the
House today by Representative
Boyland, Democrat, New York.
He contended that it was im-
possible for the United States to
deal longer with that govern-
ment in the face of the Mexican
constitution, "which disregards
the international code generally
n--vailing among the family of
nations."
Prof. W. D. Henderson, director of
the University extension division, has
been chosen as the principal speaker
for the freshman assembly which will
be held next Thursday night in the
assembly hall of, the Union. The
gathering is being sponsored by the
underclass department of the Union
and th'e social committee of the fresh-
man class.
Although Professor Henderson has'
not announced his topic as yet, he is
certain to have some remarks of in-
terest for the first year men. He has
been prominent on the programs of
important University functions, in-
cluding Cap Night, the Football ban-
quet, and Fathers' Day.
William L. Diener, '26, president of
the Union, will also address the fresh-
men and will attempt to give them a
clear conception of the purposes and
activities of the Union. Diener, as
chairman of the Union underclass de-
partment last year, was in close con-
tact with the problems of the fresh-
men and supervised a number of
Union gatherings held for the purpose
of acquainting members of the class
with each other.
Lester Johnson, '27L, chairman of
the underclass department, who will
preside at the assembly, announced
yesterday that the new Union orches-
tra, the Rhythmh Kings, has been en-I
gaged to play following the speech-
es. A prominent Michigan athlete will
also be on the program, he stated.
There will be cigarettes for all at
the gathering. Communications, an-
nouncing the assembly, will be mailed

Agricultural Committee Begins Hear.
Img Testimony Of Farmers
From 11 States
SUGGEST NEW MEASURE
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, March 4.-Farm re-
lief, hovering in the background since
Congress convened was tackled in1
earnest by the House agricultural
committee today when it began hear-
ingthe testimony of farmers from 11
middle western states.
In their opening statements, the
delegates repeated their endorsement
of thre Dickinson bill, which would
establish a federal farm board and
Iassure the farmers adequate prices
for their surplus crops by levying
against them an equalization fee and
placing it in a revolving fund.
Under questioning by the committee,
however, the witnesses said they fa-
vored a number of amendments, and
the committee then suggested that a
new bill be drafted. The dlegation
promised to submit the rough outline
of a measure by tomorrow. l
The farmers' representatives, who
include the ommittee of 22 appoent-
en thte recent Des Moines confer-
m ence t in te aternoon working
out theirpningreatemeti, te
bers ofrthe House omittee vingme
nate it clear that they would require
a practical explanation of any method
of relief presented.
It was decided that the witnesses
would confine themselves to the prin-
ciples they have adopted. Numerous
others plans are embodied impending
bills but they will not be discussed at
present.

SCIENTIFIC HONESTY
IS EMPHASIZED BY
PROF, A1 1. CRION
CHICAGO PHYSIOLOGIST S A Y S
HONESTY IN MEDICINE
IS ABOVE ABILITY
CITES CORRUPTION
"Organotherapy" Is Snbect Of Ad
dress; Speaker Is Iead Of Ameri-
can PLysological Society
Emphasizing the importance of
scientific honesty, Prof. Anton J.
Carlson of the physiologic l depart-
ment of the University of Chicago,
gave the second of the Alpha Omega
Alpha lectures last night in Natural-
Science auditorium. "Organotherapy"
was the subject of the professor's ad-
dress.
"Honesty in medicine Is above abil-
ity," declared Professor Carlson. He
pointed out a number of cases in
which corrupt practices of doctors
had obscured the field of organothe-
rapy. ,
But while dishonesty was a detri-
ment, the faulty conclusions of well-
intentioned medical researchers were
also a hindrance to medicine, the
speaker insisted. He stressed the
necessity of doctors being able to
work out their own conclusions cor-
rectly.
Professor Carlson maintained that
no student should be given his degree
in medicine unless he comes in con-
tact with the problems confronting
him and is able to work them out
satisfactorily. "No man can learn
medicine merely by attending lectures
and taking down notes. A real sci-
entist must meet his own problems,"
lie asserted.
Since 1905, Professor Carlson has
been connected with the physiology
department at the University of Chi-
cago, being an assistant professor for
four years and a full professor since
that time. Before his appointment at
Chicago, he served as a research as-
sistant at Carnegie Institute and as
instructor at Woods Hole laboratory,
The professor war a lieutenant-
colonel with the sanitary corps of
the United States army during the
war and in 1919 was a sanitary officer
with the American Expeditionary
Forces in Germany.
He has gained a reputation for him-
slef by his many contributions to
American and German physiological
journals. He has described his re-
searches into subjectsras the heart,
lymph and lymph formation, saliva
and saliva secretion, the thyroids,
pana thyroids, the distribution of
body fluids, the nature of hunger, gas-
tric secretions, and metabolism.
For many years Professor Carlson
has been a fellow of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science. At present, he is president
of the American Physiological society,
and a member of the society for Ex-
perimental Biology and Medicine.
He was entertained at dinner at
the Union last night by the Alpha
Omega Alpha society. At noon he
was the guest of Prof. Carl G. Huber
of the anatomical department at a
luncheon at the Union.
FRENCH CHAMBR ATERS
FINANCE Bil L FETURES
Compulsory Declaration Of Income
Incorporated In Measures
(By Associated Press)
PARIS, March 4.-The comulsory
declaration of income by everyone,
whether subject to income tax or not,
was reincorporated in the finance
bills by the Chamber of Deputies to-
day.
This feature, which was modified
by the Chamber in the first instance
so as to exempt a great many tax
payers, such as workers and farmers,
now stands as it was originally intro-
duced. The Senate, it is believed,
will object to this provision.
The Chamber also passed the art-
icle requiring foreigners living in
hotels and furnished apartments and
paying rent of 1,000 francs or more a
month to deposit 25 per cent of their
rent with the proprietors of their
lodgings to guarantee the payment of
income tax. Foreigners living in
hotels, heretofore, have eseaped the
j income tax. Only those having apart-
ments on lease or on a quarterly rent-
ing arrangement have been obliged to
pay on the basis of estimating their
incomes at seven times the rent.
The financial debate is dragging
somewhat on account of the disin-
Book."
Tomorrow's Program
Tomorrow's program will begin
with a general assembly at 9 o'clock,
at which two journalists will speak.
Lee A. White, '10, librarian of the De-j
troit News, will lecture on "Yesterday
and Today in High School Publica.-
tions," and V. V. McNitt, editor of Mc-
Naught's Monthly, will talk on "Re-I
wards in Journalism."'
More round table discussions will
take up the morning until the ad-
journment at 12 o'clock. Professor
Brumm will lead a group on feature
writing and Donal Hamilton Haines,
instructor and magazine writer, will
conduct another section on magazine
publication. Other groups will dis-
cuss make-up and display, advertis,--
ment getting, cost accounting, aidd
editing an annual.I
"The Process of Publishing an Art 1
Magazine" will be the topic of an i:-
lustrated lecture to be given at 1:301
o'clock tomorrow in Natural Science
auditorium by Palmer Boothby, of the
Jahn and Ollier Engraving company'
of Chicago. Waldo Abbot of the rhet-!
oric department will conduct the dele-
gates on a tour of the campus after
the lecture.
Plan Tea Dance
Theta Sigma, women's honorary{
journalistic society, which- is assist-
ing with the convention, will hold a
tea dance tomorrow at the Betsy Bar-
bour dormtory for the girls and their
faculty advisers.I
The final meeting of the convention
will be at 4:15 o'clock, when the elec-
tion of officers will take place and the
results of the publication ,contests
made known. The association now
has ten cups to award, six more than,
it has had previously. First place
winners in each of the classes of theE
four types of publications will receive
cups, and the others will be awarded
certificates. The adjournment of this
meeting will end the two-day conven-
tion, though many will attend the I
