MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1927 EIGHT PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTR PRICE FIVE CENT2 POLITICS BLAMED BY LINDSAY AS CAUS[ OF LATE ENGLISH STRIKE UN 0 F F ICIAL REPRESENTATIVE DENIES RUSSIA INSTIGATED AFFAIR TRACES LABOR HISTORY Declares Britain is Influeneed By Mid- dle Ages, While America Has No Past To Influence Her Putting at rest the rumor that the recent general strike In England was supported and instigated by Russia, Kenneth Lindsay, unofficial represen- tative of the British Labor party, in his address "The Labor and the Gene- ral Strike," which he delivered last night in Natural Science auditorium, showed that although the background for the general striketwas there for a long timne, the strike was a very sudden outburst. The reason for the strike, he pointed out was, "Because the political machinery of the day wasn't functioning right." Before getting to the exact subject matter of his talk, Mr. Lindsay gave a short outline of the econonic his- tory of England, particularly of the Labor movement.. In doing this he constantly compared the conditions of his homd country with the United States. At present, lie stated, 88 per cent of English children discontinue their education before or at the age of 14 and only one in a 1,000 go a a uni- versity; in this country, on the other hand 30 per cent do not remain in school after they are 14, while one in ever 100 reach universities. Another point that he brought out, was that England is heavily influenced by past history and the middle ages wherea the United States has never had a "middle ages" and at present is eco- nomically at the station that England was in 1880. Just as the "industial revolution" was first carried on in England so have the bad effects first become evident there. Trouble Lies In Suppression { The main trouble lies in the fact that the basic industries are -sup- pressed while the industries that sup- 1y luxuries are booming, he declared. ornparatively recent economic deve- lopments which England could not help as electricity taking the place of coal and the decrease in the vol- ume of the trade in the world have materially contributed to the decay- ing of the basic industries. Land is now changing hands in England that has been in the same possession since the Norman invasion, he stated -in showing the despondent conditions of agriculture. The most difficult things to, get in England today are food, shelter and clothing, he said, and this was the reason for the genereal strike. It is almost impossible for children of la- borers to get away from the trade of their fathers, he pointed out, and especially is this true of South Wales where the population has been made up of miners for centuries. In this connection, he showed that only three per cent of the children of unskilled laborers ever receive secondary edu- cation. Citicises Dean IngeI Mr. Lindsay criticised Dean' Inge and H. G. Wells fo not being ac- quainted with the actual facts of Eng- lish conditions, and said that those two imen were unable to feel the pulse of the comman people of Eng- land from their writing degks in the cloister and on the Riviera. In relation to general strikes, Mr. Lindsay explained that they can only have three purposes, to get rid of some odious person, as a grand get-~ sure to show strength, or, as a step toward the taking over of powers. In- asmuh as the recent strike achieved none of these ends it was a filure. What it attempted, was to bring in- dustrial pressure on a olitical govern- ment, Mr. Lindsay stated. Contrary to the general belief, there wereseveral beneficial results of the strike, including the promotion of good fellowship and the establish- mnt of public concerts, he declared.! The platform of the Labor party is more education and compulsory ed- ucation up to the age of 16, he de- clared. Admitting that the path to- word the solving of the probleml would not be an easy one, Mr. Lindsay said that it would have to follow a courjc of national improvements,; which must include a reversal of for? cign policy, and the increase of in- come and inheritance taxes. These thingk he showed would simulate the prcddLt on of the things that the people want. In closing his talk Mr. Lindsay ad- vised this country, "For Heaven'sl sahe, lbe original.

The flames trapped him in his apartment in West 51st street, on the fringe of Broad-C way, where he had recived the plaud- its of thousands and only a few blocks from the site of the old Herald Square theater, where he made his New York debut in 1895. Firemen who hacked their way into Daly's fourth floor quarters found his burned body lying beside an arm chair in which he had been seen a short time before reading a book. Although known to thousands, Daly could not be identified for severalj hours; the face that had recorded a multitude of real and simulated emo- tions was a charred mass. Absolute identification was made by two bun- ions, known to Frank Whitcomb, his attorney, but not to others viewing the body. The fire in which Daly died was fea- tured by thrilling rescues by firemen, who carried to safety two women who lived on the fourth floor. A father and mother, residing on the fifth floor,E carried three children to safety over roofs. The fire began in the basement and swept up the stairway, cutting off1 escape. . Daly's, window was found open and firemen believe he had tried to climb out of it when flames cut off the stairway. Mr. Daly lived alone, his daughter Blythe Daly being on a tour. He was divorced from his wife, who was Miss Mary Blythe, of Los Angeles, and now Mrs. Frank Craven. WWJ WILL BROADCAST MICHGANSELECTIONS' IN PROGRA.M TNIH VTmz rY SONGS WILL FEATURE NUMBERS TO EB!

Braker Fellowship1 Nominations Opened1 Announcement of the Braker Teach- ing Fellowship has been received at' the office of the Dean of the School of Business Administration together, with the request that the department recommend to the fellowship commit- tee any students qualified for nonina- tion. Through the bequest of Henry J.1 Braker, eight teaching fellowships, each carrying an annual stipend of one thousand dollars and free tuition in Tufts college, have been founded., Of this number there will be four vacancies for the year 1927-1928. The fellows are required to divide their time between study, teaching and re- search in the department of economics' and sociology at iTufts college. Prof. Josephi Mayer, head of the de- paie't nt of economics and sociology, Tufts college, who is in charge of the fellowship, states that qualifications for these nominations include poten- tial teaching ability in work as stu- (dent assistants or otherwise, and well- rounded personality.

Miss Talley is now making a short tour of the music centers of the nation during a leave of a few weeks from her engagement I with the Metropolitan Opera company in New York, and this will be the third concert tour that the singer has thus far made through the country at large. The rise of the former Kansas City choir singer has been one of the most phenomenal in the history of music. 'At 12, she was soloist in a church choir in Kansas City, and at 15 ap- peared as the leading soprano in a local performance in the Missouri me- tropolis, Shortly after she was given an audition by the Metropolitan'Opera company, and with funds raised from a concert given for her in Kansas City, she went to Italy two years later where she studied for a year. Gatti Casazza, general manager of the Met- ropolitan, then signed her to a con- tract and slightly less than a year ago she made her debut in New York. Since then she has sung more than 31 times in New York City, and has taken the parts of Gilda in Rigoletto, Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor, Rosig- nol in Starvinsky's Rosignol which was given its American premier by, her, and the Doll, in the Tales of Hoffman. Immediately after her tour this winter she will return east to resume her operatic work. In her appearance here she will be asisted by John Corigliano, Who will play twice on the program in violin solos. Albaladejo To Talk On "Reincarnation" Prof. Jose M. Albaladejo, of the' Modern Language department of the engineering school, will discuss "Re- incarnation" in a public lecture, at eight o'clock tonightTin the audito- rium of Lane hall. This talk is one 'of a series of discussions held under the auspices of the Ann Arbor lodge of the American Theosophical Society. When asked to define his views upon reincarnation, which he will set forth tonight, Professor Albaladejo stated that he could do no better than to quote from Sir Oliver Lodge's "Life and Matter" in which the English scientist, answering Haekel's "Riddle of the Universe" defines his conception of life. The view set forth by Sir Oliver Lodge quoting his work is that life is "dependent on matter for its pheno- menal appearance-for its manifesta- tion to us here and now, and for all its terrestrial activities; but other- wise I conceive that it is independent, that its essential existence is continu- ous and permanent though its inter- actions with matter are discontinu- ous and temporary; and I conjecture that it is subject to a law of evolu- 'tion-that a linear advance is open to it-whether it be in its phenomenal or in its occult state."

Bartell, of the chemistry department, who is chair- man in charge of all the arrange- ments. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the recent -developments and applications in this field of science, and in this connection, many papers1 by the leading authorities of industry, will be presented. Arrangements and the program fort the affair are in the hands of the Na-' tional Research council and will be completed in the near future. . I Each year it has been the custom of the symposium to select some noted foreign authority as a guest of honor; during the meeting and this year the honor as fallen to Prof. H. F. Kruyt, of the University of Utrecht, Holland. He is considered a one of the leading I European scientists in this branch of chemistry. He will come to the United States in May for a lecture tour be- I fore attending the congress at the University. He will remain here dur-- ing the summer session as a lecturer in colloid chemistry. Other men who have been guests of honor at past symposiums, and who I will also be present to attend the Ann Arbor meeting are Dr. James M. M-' Bain, ofmBristolruniversity, Bristol, England, and Dr. Loenor Micaelis, a famous figure in the colloidial chem- istry field. Other guests of honor who havet been chosen at previous meetings are, Dr. Herbert Freundlich, director of the Colloid Institute of Berlin, Ger-, many, and Dr. The Svedberg of Swe- den, who recently received the Nobel' prize, and was the guest of honor at the first symposium held at the Uni-1 versity of Wisconsin. The University of Minnesota, North- western university, and the Massa- chusetts Institute.of Technology, have ' been the scenes of previous syznposi- ums. Michigan is one of the first schools! in the country to offer instruction and courses in colloid chemistry and i considered one of the pioneers in this field. Committee chairmen for the affair have been appointed as follows: Prof. E. Bartell, general arrangements; Prof. William G. Smeaton, finance; Dr. Leigh C. Anderson, housing; Prof. Hodges, social; Prof. Clifford C. Me- louche, registration; and Prof. Albert L. Ferguson, publicity.

Great Britain openly proclaims her attitude to Soviet Poland, and certain designs, the disquieting situation in Lithuania, America's policy of indif- ference to Moscow, and other adverse signs of the Bolshevik horizon have given rise to increasing talk of war. While this war scare is found large- ly among the masses, important Com- munist officials, such as Nikolai Bu- charin, of the Communist executive, do not hesitate to express openly their anxiety over Europe's intention, andI misgivings also are reflected in the Soviet press, which sees bellicose ten- doi-c nvr--nho (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Inaugara- tion of a campaign of peace with the' abolition of the idea of force in the dealings of the United States with Central American countries was urged in the Senate today by Senator Borah, Republican, idiho, chairman of the foreign relations committee. As the first step in that direction, he proposed a special election to per- mit the people of Nicaragua to choose their own president and the submis- sion to arbitration of the controversy with Mexico over its land laws. With these suggestions, the Idaho senator concluded in characteristical- ly dramatic fashion an attack of an hour and a half on the administration's policy in dealing with the Nicaraguan situation and in recognizing the Adolfo Diaz government which he contended was set up illegally. "Inaugurate a campaign of peace," thundered Senator Borah, "abolisl the idea of force; try friendly rela- tions; seek to establish amity; seek to get in touch with the masses, with the people themselves, and we can establish a policy in Central America which will provide our interests and respect our rights and whichwill do that which we are entitled to do--re- ceive special considration from those people." Senate Pays Close Attention While Senator Borah unfolded his views both of the situation in Nicara- gua and of the administration's policy, practically every member of the Sen- ate now in Washington was in his seat and gave his remarks the closest at- tention. Many members of the House crowd- ed the floor of the Senate and the gal- leries were filled. There were few in- terruptions from other Senators, a rather unusual occurrence in Senate discussions, particularly of 'a sub- ject foremost in the public mind. The address of the foreign relations committee chairman, however, start- ed a Senate debate which brought out both sides of the controversy, includ- ing a general defense of the admitis- tration by Senator Lenroot, of Wiscon- sin, a Republican member of the for- eign relations, committee. Elsewhere, too, the day's events saw the Mexican-Nicaraguan imbroglio developing in several directions. The House foreign affairs commit- tee, after another fruitless debat, voted by a majority of one not 'to call Secretary Kellogg before it, and then suspended its sessions indefinitely. Destroyers Ordered South Two more American destroyers were ordered to Nicaraglan waters, but the navy department said they would replace two already there. Further outbreaks of anti-American sentiment in Mexico brought no out- ward yeaction from the State depart- nient, beyond a denial of the recur- ring report that the government is considering withdrawal of Ambassa- dor Sheffield. In another statement, the depart- met donfirmed that it had consider- ed designating a former marine of- ficer to organize the Nicaraguan don- stabulary but said that his duties x1ould not make himni a part of the Nicaraguan army. A ray of hope for better times in the Central American trouble zone was seen in an effort of the president of Costa Rica to mediate between the Nicaraguan factions. The state de- partment has approved its move and hopes for its success, but hs no ad- vice of the progress made. Senator Borah's address on the Mex- ican-Nicaraguan situation had been long awaitedl. He had maintained silence in accordance with a tacit un- derstanding with the administration that his views should be withheld un- til after the appearance yesterday of Secretary Kellogg before the Senate foreign relations committee to ampi- fy the- administration statement as given to the Congress and the country Monday by President Coolidge.
