ARNOLD acute and progressive, are actually exiling to Siberia, the terror of po- litical prisoners for ages, all the Zion- ists that they can find to arrest. It is rather cruel irony when we re- member that the exile of political) prisoners to the horrors of northern Siberia was one of the principal blots on the record of the Czars when the4 Communists came in power. Public opinion the world over was scandal- ized by that policy; yet scarcely eight years after overthrowing the regime the Communists themselves, under the} influence of a motivating Jewish bloc, stoop to the same level, except that the exiles of the Czars were danger- ous men, and the Zionists are harm- less. If Russia ever expects to take its place among the nations of the world, or expects to be recognized by the United States, it is time that that country was showing signs of civiliza- tion. The Czars were imperious, they were overthrown; the Communists are intolerant, they are not over- thrown, yet. FOREIGN AFFAIRS With the state department working on relations with China, Nicaragua, 1 Mexico, and South American coun- tries, the foreign affairs of the gov- Kernment are attracting more attention than at any time since the World war settlement problems. A reply to the IBritish note on China which urged more liberal dealings with that coun- try is now being prepared. With the New Year, the Mexican land and oil laws have gone into effect, and the de- partment is waiting for an "overt act" on which definite protest against their retroactive and confiscatory na- ture may be made. Probably the most active issue at the present time involves the presence of American marines in Nicaragua, where the state department has rec- ognized the Diaz government against the Sacasa forces which have been t recognized by Mexico.

After the sit- uation seemed somewhat improved with the Cantonese forces apparently eager to set up a national govern- ment, the radical wing of the partyl disappointed by the 'refusal of Eng- land and other world powers for im- mediate recognition, has moved the masses of Chinese to radical action. Following the activities of the mob, the Chinese presented an ultimatum to the British demanding "custody of the British marines alleged to have fired on Chinese crowds, indemnities for deaths and injuries, immediate cessation of all hostilities, withdrawal of the British forces, and an apology to the nationalistic party." Despite her recent adoption of a more liberal policy toward China, however, it is practically certain that England will not surrender the ma- rines who fired on the mob. They were protecting British citizens and property in a locality which by treaty right was legally conceded to their occupation. On the other hand, it is possible that England will with- draw from the territory and perhaps indemnify the Chinese for the lives lost. The latter move, of course, would demand just retribution by the Chinese for the damage which the mob did in the British concession. Whether they realize it or not, it is quite unfortunate for the Chinese,' as for the rest of the powers con- cerned, that such disorders continue. By the recent conference of world! powers including a Chinese repre- sentative, it was agreed that recog-j nition would be granted as soon as a stable government was established. Certainly, promotion of the present conditions does not evince the pres- ence of a stable government. With America continuing her policy of friendship toward the Near East, and with England leading other nations to a more liberal policy toward China, it seems that the Chinese would co- operate in bettering the conditions of their country. Settlement of its problems demands sound thought and which Panama assumed obligations contrary to previous obligations as a member of the League of Nations may very likely be subject to discussion in the Senate. In these issues which really involve the Monroe Doctrine, the League of Nation's, and America's attitude in the Orient, President Coolidge has sought the support of the country for the administration policies. In most cases, it isprobable that the judgment of the State department could be wise- ly followed. However, it should not necessarily be trusted implicitly. If discussion of the various siuations will bring a better solution withoutj paralyzing action it should be wel- comed. In working out the solution to the present problems as well as any in the future, the best policies humanly available should be sought. LURES AND FAILURES I In less than five weeks examinations will be over, and with the thousands who pass will be included hundreds who fail, some of them completely. Many collegiate careers will be blast- ed at the outset, for by far the larger number of failures will be freshmen: and the lures of college life, that glorified existence that offers distrac- tions for every day and night of the week, will have taken its toll again. To many of those expelled this fail- ure will be complete. Many will never attempt to go on in university work. Many of them will be upper classmen, for, as Dean Effinger says. each class has its peculiar requirements, and some fall behind at every milestone of the college course. Failure is a dis-I mal thing at best, and when it is large scale failure, as it will be here again this winter, it is more dismal still.
