man Thomas, executive director of
the League for Industrial Democracy,
concluded the two-day lecture series
being given in conjunction with Scott
Nearing, yesterday afternoon at Natur-
al Science auditorium.
At the start of his talk, Mr. Thomas
gave an introduction to the subject
of democracy which he thought was
necessary for a clear conception of
his ensuing theories. He separated
the doubters of democracy Into two
types. One he termed "Babbitry
Menckenists" who, in an attempt to
elevate themselves above the bour-
geoise, fall into the narrowness of
imitation, and find fault because of
their extreme cynicism. The other
type he defined as those who, in real-

LIMITATIONSPLANNED
Great Britain, America, Japan Will Be
Mlai Paticipants With France
And Italy Also Invited
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The con-
vening in Geneva in June or or July
of the British-American-Japanese na-
val limitations conference to discuss
minimum tonnage ratios in cruisers,
destroyers, and submarines is con-
fidently expected by the Washington
government.
Definite proposal for a three power
attempt to find a suitable formula
have been made by the United States
and London and Tokio. While they'
are informal and possibly no more1
than verbal in character as yet, re-
plies now awaited will result in a
formal invitation if the plan is ac-
cepted as is clearly foreshadowed in!
preliminary diplomatic conversations.
Stress Linitation iroject
The fact that only a limitation pro-
ject, not a proposal for a reduction
in tonnage, is under consideration, is
believed to have been stressed in the
informal exchanges here and in Lon-
don and Tokio which followed rejec-
tion by France and Italy of the orig-
inal American plan for a five-power
conference at Geneva.
France and Italy probably will be
invited to send observers to the three-
power conference. Some officials be-
lieve it possible that ultimately the
Paris and Rome governments will
find it expedient to participate despite
their previous refusal. This feeling
is based in part on the evident mis-
conception of the original American
proposal indicated in the French re-
fusal and also on the feeling that
when the Continental powers fully
understand what President Coolidge
has in mind they cannot fail to take
advantage of the opportunity offered
to escape competitive naval building.
At any rate, it is made clear that the
Washington government expects to
leave the door open for their partici-
pation.
The Washington government prob-
ably will not attempt to present any
limiitation for consultation in its invi-
tation to Great Britain and Japan.
The whole question of what steps are
possible to the three major naval pow-
ers to curb their own building pro-
!grams in view of French and Italian
reluctance to join in five-power nego-
tiations almost entirely will be left to
the Geneva meeting itself.
Would Remove Impediment
If Great Britain accepts, as London
advices indicate, the greatest stum-
bling block in the road of the three-
power discussions will be removed.
Heretofore, Great Britain has fre-
quently indicated that she could ac-
cept no limitation of anti-submarine
craft if her continental neighbors re-
fused to limit submarine construc-
tion.
Japan's only question in accepting
the five-power plan was as to exten-
sion of the 5-5-3 ratio to other than
capital ships and airplane carriers.
[The American invitation sail the 1
United States was disposed to follow
that course but the Washington gov-
ernment has clearly indicated its
recognition that even the extension
of maximum tonnage limitations by
classes of ships to types not provided
for in the Washington treaty must be
a very flexible agreement.
Officials here believe that the pro-
posed three-power conference would
evolve a plan to set tonnage limita-
tions for cruisers, destroyers, and
submarines at a maximum figure, but
with a specific requirement for ex-
amination of these figures at frequent
intervals with a view of revision up-
ward if naval building outside the
treaty powers makes that expedient.

Lauding the 1927 Michigan cham-
pionship basketball team as the
greatest offensive and defensive com-
bination that he has ever seen or
coached, Coach E. J. Mather gave the
opening address at the student
smoker last night in the assembly hall
of the Union. It is estimated that
more than 500 students attended the
meeting, which was opened by the
band playing "The Victors."'
"The Michigan team is the great.
est scoring combination and the
highest powered team in the West-,
ern Conference," said Coach Mather.
He ended his remarks by praising
Captain Chambers as being a greatl
team player whose work in the group
as well as inidvidually proved a de-
ciding factor in the winning of the
title.
"We should never say a word or
do an act that would reflect on the
name of this University of ours," de-
clared Coach Fielding H. Yost, who
followed Mather. He warned the
gathering of the bad reflection cast
upon Michigan and its students by
the demonstration Monday night. He
concluded his remarks by a plea to
'the good will and spirit of the stu-
dents to refrain from such outbursts
in the future.
The meeting was brought to a close
by a short talk by Lester Johnson,,
27L, president of the Union, who also
asked the gathering not to repeat the
actions of Monday night.

riot which followed the basketball
game Monday night. Henry Blakely, 1
'27, of Rockford, Ill., the injured stu- I
dent, was burned and cutaabout the
face by the explosion of a tear gas
bomb and by blank cartridges. He
was taken to the Health Service andE
afterwards to the hospital for treat-
ment.
Dr. Walter R. Parker, of tihe oph-
thalmologic department of the hos-
pital, stated that the injuries to Blake-
ly would probably result in scars'
about the eyes where the powder was
removed, but that as far as could be
determined at present no loss of sight
would be suffered.
The other two men injured were not{
students of the University, and their!
conditions are not deemed serious.
Treasurer Robert A. Campbell, mayor'
of Ann Arbor, is investigating charg-
es of several observers to the effect
that personal injury was done to those
who were in no way connected with
the rioting. According to him, how-E
ever, such charges are of a minor
nature and were encouraged by thej
general atmosphere rather than any
deliberate act on the part of the po-
lice.
One student was arrested during
the riot on a charge of resisting an
officer. His case will come up this
morning.
A request was made late yesterday
I afternoon by Mayor Campbell that the
Butterfield management institute free
entertainment in one or both of their1
campus theaters, to begin immediate-
ly after the general pep meeting
which was held last night in the as-
sembly room of the Union. He gave
as the reason for this request the de-
sire to avoid any such trouble as oc-
curred Monday night by an expres-
sion of good will on the part of the
management. This request was not
complied with by the managers of the
theaters, due to the fact that they'
could not make arrangements on such
short notice. %
Mayor Campbell then issued an or-
der officially closing the theaters after
their first evening performance, in
order that the city might not be held
responsible for any damages which1
might result. However, both the Ar-
cade and the Majestic theaters per-
mitted partons to enter for the sec-
ond show.

The presentation this year will cen-
ter around a pageant rather than a
play, as has been the custom in the
past. The representltives from the
arious nations, dressed in native cos-
unies, will appear at the outset of
the program and take their places in
front of the panels that have been pre-
pared for the nations represented by
Alexis Lapteff, '30A, who is in charge
of the decorations.
Ten Foot Pin
As the acts from the nations ar
presented, the pageant will proceed
across the stage. The central figrre
of the decorations will be a design
of the Cosmopolitan club pin about 1
feet high that has also been made by
yapteff. Banners and pennants will
also be used to represent the various
nations.

radio appearances in Detroit and was
featured on the program of the Na-
tional Music Teachers' convention ir
1926. She sang at the Rusian congress
in Philadelphia and has appeared with
the Detroit Symphony orchestra as
soloist.
Raja Howrani, '28, will give an i-
personation of Salah-ah-din (Saladin
the Great). He will present recitations
in Syrian that the great warrior gave
on the battlefields before Acre when,
Richard the Lion Hearted was besieg-
ing that city during the Crusades.
A native Syrian costume of that
time will be used by Howrani and the
recitations will be translated for the .
audience. Olga Elkowie, a Syrian
pianist, though educated in America,
will also apear as part of the Syrian
contribution to the program. Miss El-
kowie comes from the International
Institute of Detroit, which has fur-
nished some other numbers of the
program as well.
A soprano, pianist, and harpist, will
represent Finland, each one giving a
solo in turn accompanied by'the re-
mainder of the group, and Bavaria and
Switzerland will present three Swiss
accordian players and seven native
Bavarians in costume.

Its purpose, as expressed by Dr.
Henderson, is, "To promote the cause
of education and advancement of
culture throughout the state; to serve
local communities insofar as the tech-
was asked to give part time service.
About seven years ago, Dr. Hender-
son was asked by the Regents to give
his full time to the division.
The work of the Extension division
is carried on through a series of 13
bureaus. Two of the most important{
take care of the University Extension
lectures and the credit courses. Last
year 400 lectures were given by mem-
