AN rALL-AMERICAN WATERWAY
For three years, congressional ap-
proval of the St. Lawrence waterway
project has been blocked by those in-
terests, principally of New York state,
which would be adversely affected by
the improvement of this route which
the welfare of the entire Middle West
demands.
As an argument to back their con-
tentions, these interests, headed by
Representative Dempsey, New York,
have advocated the conditioning of
the obsolete New York barge canal
as an alternative proposal. To make
the scheme more plausible, they have
contended that national defense con-
siderations make this route more de-
sirable than the international one.
Of course, appreciation of the ability
of long range guns as well as aircraft
to cripple either waterway renders
this arugument absurd, although that
little matters to the foes of the St.
Lawrence route.
Under these circumstances, then, it
is particularly satisfying to note that
a board of army engineers, investigat-
ing the New York route, have turned
down that scheme after considering
both its engirleering and economic
aspects. Coupled with the favorable
report given by the International
Joint commission in 1923 on the St.
Lawrence project, this action is an
unmistakable guide which Congress
should follow at its next session.
THE PAROLE
Governments have open seasons on
deer, ducks, and all sorts of harm-
less fowl and game, but still we have
the prison reformer with us and no
chance to shoot him. It is scarcely
two weeks since a daring and cruel
mail robbery near New York cost the
life of a mail clerk and evidence
points conclusively to the fact that
the killer was a man who was not
only paroled once but three times
after he had secured long sentences
in the penitentiary for similar out-
rages. A short time before that, a
similar event occurred; and the crim-
inal, caught, turned out to be a par-
doned murderer,
In view of these facts, then, the ac-
tion of the American Prisn Associa-
tion Congress in advising further
leniency by the press and more inde-
terminate sentences, comes at a de-
cidedly inauspicious moment; so in-
auspicious, in fact, that the stand is
fairly ridiculous.
The criminal is undesirable at
large. Experience has showed that
the man who has proved unfaithul4 to
his trust once rarely becomes a use-
ful citizen. To be broadminded and
teach criminal trades in prison and
be humane to them is well and good-
as long as they are in prison; but to
let them out to continue their careers
-as they generally do at the expense
of society is sheer foolishness-not-
withstanding the action of the prison
association to the contrary.

GOAL
Great impetus was given ROLLS'
campaign for funds to buy one of the
stadium bonds, and place two repre-
sentative students, elected by the
campus at large, in seats among the
customers at the games next year,
by the contribution received yester-
day from "Vox Student."
* * s
Thus, the largest single contribu-
tion received for our fund comes from
an anonymous source, and we cannot
personally deliver the thanks the
donor so richly deserves. The letter
enclosing this noble gift is as follows:
* " s
Dear Mr. Hay:
There are, I believe, some ten
thousand (10) students in this
University. That will make eachI
student's quota in your drive for
five hundred dollars for a stadium
bond amount to five cents. Here-
with find same. Wishing you
every success in your campaign,
I remain, I hope,
"Vox Student."

With our campaign fund in full
swing now, and the contributions
coming in so fast that our entire office
force is kept busy opening letters and
counting the vast sums thus collected,
we can look forward to the future.
One problem that must be solved is:
what will we do with all the interest
we receive on this bond?
So, all of you who have so kindly
sent in money for this fund will please
write or telegraph-not collect, as
that would settle the question right
away-as to what you wish this in-
terest to be spent for.
The terrible thought just occurred
to us that maybe after we get all this
money colledted, and send it in, we
will get a letter from the Athletic
association saying that "The student
allotment of bonds was sold out Sep-
tember 28. Your application was re-
ceived after that date, so it is neces-
sary to refund your remittance..

THE PLAY PRODUCTION CLASSES I:
A review, by Ninnya Miller
Under the direction of Mr. Owen,
Mr. Hollister's assistant of last year,
the Play Production classes are mak-
more appropriate basis than before.
The three plays of yesterday, " kiders1
to the Sea," "Manikin and Minikin
and "The Man in the Bowler Hat,"
appeared in a laboratory experiment.
There is no longer any evidence of
an attempt to compete for popularity
with the more formal productions of
the campus dramatic societies. There
were no programs, for example. The
casts were simply announced by Mr.
Owen during the interval while audi-
ence and cast awaited the belated
arrival of Mr. Carl Kraatz.
j The plays are given so that stu-
dents of play production may learn
to act and to direct, not primarily for
the edification of what audience there
may be. Mr. Owen realizes that the
directors of the plays given by campus
societies in the little Mimes theater
are enabled to select their casts from
an already selected grop, and that
the very nature of the material avail-
able to him is such as to preclude
any possibility of pretension similar
to theirs. He does not even attempt
to choose plays that will attract the
attention of the play-going public.
None of the three given yesterday are
new to the campus. Two of them have
been presented more than once by
campus societies and the Ypsilanti
players. I
It is a pleasant innovation Mr.
Owen has given us. In the past the
pseudo-formality of the plays has
been the proper setting to make their
more than occasional mediocrity a
palpable farce. The new policy set-
ting them on a level such that they
may not be compared with any fair-
ness to them, to other dramatic activ-
ities about us-excepting of course
the Rockford players-makes them a
surprisingly good experiment. They
are not presented to be reviewed.
They are not even presented to attract
a great audience. People sufficiently
interested find their way to them and
they are not disappointed in what
they find, but are presently surprised
to find them presented at face value,
as the work of students.
NOEL COWARD * AGAIN AND A
FRENCH TRAGEDY
"This was a Man" which was banned
by a censors in London-a current
phrase in the New York theaters-will
soon be produced in the latter city and
will probably have Francine Larri-
more in the cast. Noel Coward, the
author, is again in this country and is
particularly pleased over the fact that
hl Won't be acting this time and will
be able to see the New York plays. At
least one other of his plays, "Fallen
Angels," will be done this season.
(Tallulah Bankhead and Edna Best
had the leading roles in the London
run of this piece.) The third Coward
play which might be brought here is
"The Queen was in the Parlor" now in
London with Madge Titheradge; and
since Miss Titheradge will also act in
it here, this means that New York will
have to wait on the London run.
And now J. Brooks Atkinson in the
New York Times has undertaken to ex-
plain why all the town is drawn to the
Empire theater these nights to see
Helen Mencken in Edouard Bourdet's

SIMPLE FOR THE PREMIER
Last week was memoriable so far
as the fall of European cabinets is
concerned, for in four successive days
the cabinets of Czechoslovakia, Jugo-
slavia, Hungary, and Austria resigned.
It might seem that they were in league
somehow, and yet peculiarly there
was no connection between the re-
spective causes that resulted in the
political breaks.
In the case 'r Czechoslovakia the
friction arose over the fact that the
cabinet of Prcmier Cerny, which is
Scomposed mostly of bureaucrats, is
constantly facel with quite serious
opposition from i the German and Slo-
vak minoritis. The industries of
Prague, the capital city, are almost
completely under the control of Ger-
mans, although they actually form
only about five per; cent of its pop-
ulation. It is only quite natural that
this minority industrial class should
chaff under the reign of what to them
is an unrepresentative cabinet, and
although the agrarian element of this
minority had been placated some time
ago by increasing the grain duties,
Premier Cerny thought it wise to re-
sign that a cabinet truly representa-
tive of the whole nation might be
formed.
trvWhile in no way related, the prob-
lem of the Jugoslava is basically the
ame, the Croats in this case compos-
ing the dissatisfied minority. And so
it might be expected that again the
radical Croat leader, Stefan Raditch,
was the cause of the downfall of the
cabinet of Premier Uzunovitch, by
charging the members of that body
with corruption,: as he did on a sim-
ilar occasion last spring.
The Hungarian franc scandal of1
some time ago at last resulted dis-
asterously for Premier Count Ste-
pien Bethlen, for although he was
"whitewashed" by the courts he im-
mediately proceeded to further showI
his innocence by resigning with hisl
cabinet. However, the Hungarian
Regent, Admiral Horthy, refused to
accept Premeir Bethlen's resignation
and so it would appear that again
the surface of thetboiling waters had
l~een smioothed, but the potential dis-
turbance is still there.
The cause of the fall of the Aus-
triarn cabinet is somewhat different
from that of the other three. Chan-
(celior Rudolf Ramek was forced to
some sort of action because of the
active unrest occasioned by the dis-
missal of numerous office holders for
economic reasons. It appears that

THOSE WHO LIVE IN GLASS
HOUSES
(Michigan State News)
Those who live ill glass houses
should not throw stones. We dislike
to use this time worn phrase but
sometimes the old sayings are the
most forceful and there are occasions
when it seems that there is nothing
to take their place. This is one of
those occasions.
Last spring we defeated Michigan
in baseball and celebrated afterwards.
Michigan State students who were
here at that time remember it and
those who were not here read about
it. Michigan State students went to
Lansing and had some difficulty with
the Lansing police force.
We call to mind the editorial "dig"
which the Michigan Daily took the
opportunity to make following the
demonstration. We were scolded like
a small child by a parent.
We are disappointed in the Univer-
sity of Michigan. According to the
Michigan Daily editorial last spring,
demonstrations which led to the
destruction of property and difficulty
with the law, were out of date. It
was only the smaller and more back-
ward institutions where this could
happen. Larger institutions, such as
the University of Michigan had done
away with this sort of thing.
Someone at the University evident-
ly spoke too quick in the aforemen-
tioned editorial. Last Friday there
was a pep meeting at Ann Arbor, the I
night before the Illinois game. As yet,
there was no great victory to cele-
brate but the pep meeting was evi-
dently successful judging from the
amount of enthusiasm it stirred up;
(we give them credit for holding a
good pep meeting).

IXZO. This play was advertised in the

THE NAVY PRACTICE FIELD the most audacious to be presented
last season at the capital; and cer-
tainly the facts considered apart from

become involved in an abnormal rela-
tionship with another woman. Only
