Representative Lozier, Democrat,, Missouri, also delivered a verbal broadcast, but apart from these, and, an incidental thrust by Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, on the floor of the Senate, little was heard from the ad- ministration opposition. . On the other hand, Representative Wood, Republican, Indiana; rose to the defense of the President's message1 yesterday as an "admonition to the two countries,' but not the "big stick." While silence on the subject was maintained in quarters where con-1 ment was looked for, it was said at the White House that President Coolidge had nothing to add to what hie had saidl in yesterday's message to1 Congress further than to stress the determination to afford protection to American life and property in any part of the world; and that the gov- ernment would do everything in its power to that end. With interest centered on the ex- pected appearance tomorrow of Sec- retary Kellogg, before the Senate for- eign relations committee, to discuss the Nicaraguan situation, most sena- tors continued to withold comment., Senator Borah's remarks wei'e promt- ed by a request by Senator Bingham' Republican, Connecticut, that he be permitted to straighten out in the Congressional Record some confusion over his reference to President Diaz, of Nicaragua in a speech yesterday. Representative Huddleston, in at- tacking the President's policy, re- iterated that America is "deliberately i and consciously drifting into war with Mexico." He asserted that President Coolidge had brought Mexico into his 1 message for lipother purpose than "tog put her in a ad light." (By Associated Press) SANTIAGO, Chile, Jan. 11.-A com- mittee met today under the auspices of the Student's club to plan a public manifestation against the "attitude ofx violence adopted by the United States in Nicarague." Labor unions, co- operating with the movement, appoint- ed delegates to the committee and the Student's club has sent a message to the convention of professors urging, them to join the plan. Committee Named To Study Deferred Rushing Problems{ Appointment of a committee for the consideration of the problems of de- (erred rushing on the Michigan cam- pus was made by John R. Boland, Jr., '27, president of the Interfraternity, council at a meeting of that body yesterday afternoon at the Union. The committee consists of Frederick S. Glover, Jr., '27, chairman; W. Cal- vin Patterson, '27, Nathan P. Fein- singer, grad., Henry T. Lathrop, '27, and Henry Maentz, '27. Meetings of this committee and a record of its work will be delivered to the coun- cil in the near future. Other considerations of the meeting were a review of some of the work done at the convention of the National Interfraternity council held recently in New York, and the statement of a plan for the invitation of faculty mem- bers to visit the various houses andt become acqquainted with the men in the fraternities and with the ideals that actuate them. Stronger Than Before Die To F Prophesying the theatrical death of! large traveling combinations, Theo- s dore Roberts, Paramount moving pic- ture star now appearing at the Majes- tic theater, in an interview with a representative of The Daily last night,t declared that, although it may take az generation or so, the spoken dramaa will come back to popularity stronger than ever before because of thet movies. Recalling the siutation 20 years 1 ago, Mr. Roberts pointed out that ap-t proximately only 20 per cent of the f people ever attended the legitimatef stage productions in those days,' while a safe estimate of numbers ofk the present day movie-goers would be between 50 and 60 percent of the population. This difference, he saidt can be laid to diverse reasons, most I prominent of which is the proximityl of neighborhood movie houses to thet homes of the people; the comparative cheapnefs, especially in the !earlyl days when a man could take his wholeI family to the pictures for 50 cents;t the fact that, contrary to the stage, the best productions may be seen evenf in the most remote localities; anda Favorable Influence Of Cinema ing that he believed the future of the spoken stage to be in production§ with individual stars supported by local stock companies. When questioned as to the possibili- ties for new stars to break into the movies,. Mr. Roberts answered that it is all a matter of chance. There is a decided demand for new material due to the constantly changing personnel of the large film producing companies, he continued, and the advise he gives to all movie aspirants is "to be readyI for your chance when it conies." He, further advised that tryouts should' not go to'Hollywood expecting to be' supported by their movie earnings. "The tendency in the movie industry is toward comedy," he stated, "and this tendency, a decided one,, is due to the fact" that audiences want to laugh. Movies aren't constructed with the idea of educating the public be- cause the industry is conducted on purely a mercenary basis," he added with a smile. "The public doesn't want to be educated anyway." Mr. Roberts was very warm in his feeling about college town audiences, and said.that they are very enthusi- PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS WILL AGAIN BE SUBJECT OF INVESTIGATION APPROPRIATION IS MADE Charges Brought By Wilson Are Basis Of Senatorial Investigation Into November Election (By Associated Press){ WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Another inquiry into Pennsylvania politics was ordered today by the Seniate. It will be conducted by the specialf committee headed by Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, which uncovered expenditures of $3,000,000 in the Re- publican primary in that state last spring, and will go directly.to the sen- atorial election last November.

Institute of Political Sci- ences, Berlin, and German delegate to Versailles, Locarno, Genoa, and Geneva, told a large audiece yester- day afternoon in Natural Science auditorium that Europe's leading statesmen are paving a way for per- manent peace by their frequent meet- ings to smooth over difficulties before they grow into serious problems. He stated that if the atmosphere of friendliness and the endeavor for mu- tual welfare now existing in Europe had been present in 1914 therewould have been no World war. Dr. Jackh asked the question, "Is there a new Europe?" and ansered it by a brief survey of the changing relationships between nations during the past 15 years. "Old Europe, that is the Europe before the war, was di- vided into two camps, the Triple En- tente and the Triple Alliance, each pitted against the other in a diplo- matic struggle which culminatd in the Great war. The nations emerging from this conflict immediately pre- pared to enlarge their armies and ex- tend their boundaries, and sunk temp- orarily into a more chaotic state than before." iNew Europe Born The speaker answered his question in the affirmative by saying, "After five years following the World war, the real new Europe began to grow." There are four proofs, he said, of this statement-the Dawes scheme, the Locarno conference, the League of Nations, and the recent meeting be- tween Briand and Stresemann. Dr. Jackh charaterized the Dawes scheme as the basis of new Europe, ''a traffic sign directing economics to keep to the right.' "Its greatest wi- dom lies in its flexibility which en- hances its value. The only definite thing about the Dawes plan is that it is indefinite." Turning more specifically to his I own country, the German lcturer claimed that the problems of Germany are at the center of European prob- lems. le reminded the audience of I Germany's central location. "There is no other nation with as open boun daries as Germany, none. other with as many neighbors-and each of Ger- many's neighbors has an army and armaments superior to hers; and no other nation has so dispersed a pop- ulation." Thus, explained the lec- turer, that nation is made by fate and not by choice the center and chief reason for European interdependence. 1.This interdependence which is find- ing expression in art, sences, and in other fields as well as in the political is a new movement which can become Seither an order or disorder and which- 1 may either kill or cure, he continued. The result will be either alliances I and armaments, which lead toward conflict, or agreement and arbitration, which, said Dr. Jackh, are steps to- ward future peace and prosperity. "All we are concerned with in tile League of Nations is the atmosphere and the machinery," declared the speaker. The underlying purpose of the league has been to avoid war and this it is accomplishing by the atmosphere t of friendliness, and of co-operation between nations which are steadily growing. He went on to explain that this new atmosphere amd understand- u ing is being developed primarily by the frequent meetings of representa- tives from the various governments. "Perfect Efficiency" The machinery of the league, 'he stated, has not, of course, reached perfection, but is improving steadily, I "To gain time was the purpose of the old system; to lose time, the purpose . of the present system. Wasting time . in the intervention of war," the speak- - er added, "is 100 per cent efficiency." In enumerating the leading prob- lems of Europe today, Dr. Jackh cited - in particular the Balkan question, the ai Italian, and the Russian. "The prob- lem presented by Soviet Russia," he e concluded, "is the greatest confront- f ing Europe today." - The lecturer considers Mussolini - too sound a man to cause the other e nations, organized as they now are, e any serious trouble.
