Sen. Frank B. Willis, Republican,
Ohio, will speak tonight in Hill au-

annual Oratorical association lecture
series. Senator Willis replaces Sen.
Pat Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi,l

WASHINGTON EXPECTS MEXICO
1. WILL VIOLATE OTHER
AMERICAN IIGHTS
OFFICIALS SAY NOTHING
President Expresses Feeling That
Both Countries Will Reach Ami-
cable Adjustment In Future
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, April 25.;- The
Mexican ambassador has assured the
American government that Mexico
does not intend to confiscate Ameri-
can property, but it remains for the
future to disclose in what measure
the assurance will ease the diplomatic,
controversy over the Mexican oil and
land regulations.
There is still apprehension in
Washington that Mexican authorities
are threAtening steps which, from the
American viewpoint, will amount to
a violation of American rights, even
though those steps may not be regard-
ed by Mexico herself as constituting
confiscation.
President Coolidge, disclosing in his
New York speech tonight, the assur-
ing message delivered to him by the
Mexican ambassador, added that he
was convinced an amicable adjust-
ment would be possible. This decla-
ration, however, followed a state-
ment by the President that the
American government feels that
Mexico is "threatening" to disregard
the cardinal principle that privatel
property must not be taken withoutI
fair compensation.
Officials here declined to add any-:
thing to the words of the President,
or to say what significance they at-
tached to the ambassador's assurance.
It was recalled, however, that the
Mexican foreign office had contended
all along that the policies adopted by
President Calles toward American
property owners in Mexico did not
involve "confiscation," and that it was
upon this very question of the true)
meaning of the term that Washing-1
ton and Mexico City came to an im-
passe.
It was, after that impasse had been
reached that Ambassador Pellez made
a hurried trip to Mexico City and
talked over the whole situation at
length with those in charge of the for-
eign policies of his country.

LACK OF COOPERATION MAKES
ABOLITION ('CETAI1,
SAYS LITTLE
DEFENDS RESTRICTIONS
"Student Resiomsibility" Is J ibject
Oj Address Of Little At e
ConvocationC
Student cars and the possibility of
their abolition here were taken up by
President Clarence Cook Little Sun-
day morning in his convocation ad-
dress in Hill auditorium. "It will be
necessary to do away entirely with
student automobiles until they can be
permitted upon a different basis," the
president asserted, though he addenm
that "I do not believe in a permanent
rule against cars."
The address was given by President
Little due to the absence of Prof. Alex-
ander Meiklejohn of the University of
Wisconsin who was unable to come,
and had as its subject "Student Re-
sponsibility." The speaker declared
that students in attendance at Amer-
ican colleges and universities should
not be as free from restriction as
those not offered the opportunity of
securing an education.
"I do not believe in a permanent
rule against cars," President Little
declared, "And the restrictions will
not be final. But we must find those
students who can assume responsibil-
ity. We must reach rock bottom and
begin to build from there.
"You can not realize the terrible
consequences of an accident like that
last week because you did not go to
the hosnital with me to see the stu-
dents who were victips of it. A boy's
life was snuffed out; a girl was dis-
figured for life, if her life is not lost
also. Another boy received a nervous
shock from which he will not reeper
for a long time. But try to imagine
the feelings of their parents," Pres-
ident Little continued.
The only purpose which the speaker
recognized in the University's policies
is to save the students from failure of
some sort or another. "We will al-
ways forgive failure but we can not
forget it," the president declared.
"Have opportunities been given
here for student responsibility?" the
speaker asked. "Yes," he said, "In the
liquor situation and in the automobile
ruling they were given responsibmty
and authority. A great many stu-
dens have responded, and I still be.
lieve that student authority is pos-
sible, but a large residue of inert stu-
dents remains."
The President then continued to
say that he knew of no method of in-
creasing cooperation under present
rules without student help, and that
the student help is not forthcoming.
Too many students say "It is the
bunk," President Little said, and too
many students haveperfect records ot
bolts from the class on obligations.
Changes are probable, because not
enough students have been willing to
assume responsibility, he asserted.
Of the three great problems con-
fronting American universities today
President Little placed student re-
sponsibility as 6ne of the first. The
other two problems are the establish-
ment of a closer contact between the
faculty and students, and the struggle
of the University before the state and
the public eye for recognition as a
constructive body.
The speaker" reiterated that in a
publicly supported institutiop the
student is obligated to accept those
1 opportunities by assuming certain
responsibilities, and has not the right
to spend the public funds and waste
f his own time and the time of others as
has the student attending the private-
ly endowed institution. He has a
definite obligation that must be real-
ized.
In answer to the question "Should
restrictions be arbitrarily enforced, or
should they be adhered to by a sense
of cooperative participation?" Presi-
dent Little said that the students'
should be allowed to exercise their
own wills on the continuity of efforts
obtained by cooperation for the com-'
mon goal of both the faculty and the
students-that of student welfare.
The solution of similar problems leads
to the accomplishing of progressively
more difficult problems."
CLASS ASSEMBLY
IPOSTPONED WEEK
I Due to a change in plans, the meet-
TO THE STUDENTS:.
The President of the Univer-
sity, after a conference with the
editors of The Daily, has con-
sented to give students of Mich-
igan another chance to prove
their ability to handle the auto-
mobile situation without the
necessity of a ban on all studentj
owned cars. The final decision
in the case, after three days of
debate, now rests squarely with
the student body.
If the present regulations are
rigidly enforced until the close ofj
j school in June, there will be no
general abolition. If the stu-
dents, with all the facts clearly
before them, prefer to continue
to disregard the reasonable laws
now in effect, there can be no
excuse whatever for any opposi-
tion to the more drastic rules.
Complete abolition will then be,
obviously, the only possible re-
maining procedure.
The punishment meted out toj
students who continue to drive,
without permits will be severe.
An effective effort to bring such
students before the committee
will be made. The Daily believes
that men and women who prefer
not to cooperate, but rather to
force a general ban of all cars
on their fellow students in order
to enjoy themselves in defiance
of the present rules, forfeit any
I right they might have to lenien-
cy. The drastic punishment of
offenders is to be preferred to
I laxity that can lead only to the
I prohibition of cars to the hun-
j dreds of students who use them
I sensibly and appreciate them as
one of the greatest of modern
r conveniences.
The Daily has opposed the
general ban because of the con-
viction of its editors that stu-
I dents, when they appreciate the j
situation, will aid wholeheartedly |
in the enforcement of the pres-
ent laws. The President has
j generously offered the student
body another chance despite the
I total failure of the regulations
[ up to this time. Coopera-
I tion will mean the contin-
. uance of the restrictions; non- |
cooperation will mean the com- I
plete ban on all cars at the close I
of this semester . The decision
rests with the campus.,j

Citing the convocations sponsored
by th! Student council as unfair tot
the work of local ministers, Rev. Her-I
bert A. Jump, pastor of the First Con-,
gregational church, presented his
resignation to the congreation Sun-I
day morning. The resig ation is tos!
take effect at" the conclusion of his
summer vacation this year.
Reverend Jump's objections to the
convocations were summarized in a
statement given to the press follow-
ing his resignation. He stressed the
fact that when the convocations were'
inaugurated the ministers of the town
were assured that the townspeople
would be denied admittance. But, he
said, this has not been clone and the
people of the town are flocking to the
Imeetings. It is foolish, he continued I
to expect the preachers to compete
with famous visiting speakers who re-
ceive $200 for a single lecture.
(eIna statement issued yesterday, H.
Thomas Cavanaugh, '27L, president of
the Student council, said the Rev-I
erend Jump, with several local min-
isters, had been against the plan of
convocations since thei' inception.
President Grants Request Of The Daily
In New Plan; Failure Means Ban
Of All Student Autos
Rigid enforcement of the present
automobile regulations, backed finan-
cially by the University and resulting
in drastic punishment for offenders
convicted, will be tried in Ann Arbor
the remainder of this semester. This
action, decided upon by President
Clarence Cook Little after a confer-
ence with the editors of The Daily yes-
terday afternoon, is intended to give
the present regulations a real test,
and if it becomes evident that they
can be enforced, a general ban on stu-
dent cars will not be consider3d
necessary.
The President, although believing
the best procedure to be the abolition
of all student cars with the idea of
eventually reinstating them gradually
if such action is ever deemed feasibi.,
is willing to cooperate with The Daily
in giving students a last chance to
prove themselves worthy of keeping
their cars. He agrees that the present
regulations constitute the ideal set-
tlement of the situation provided they
can be enforced without the expendi-
ture of an unreasonable amount of
money for policing. The Daily has
maintained that the regulations, be-
cause of their lax enforcement thus
far, have never been given a chance,
and with the aid and cooperation of
the student body, will attempt to
prove to the administration that the
present rules, having gained the res-
pect of the students, can be enforced
If the experiment succeeds, the
present rules will be continued; if it
fails, it will have been definitely pro-
ved that abolition of all cars is h
only way out of the situation at Mich-
igan, and neither students nor The
Daily will have any justifiction in
further opposition to the ban.
A meeting of the present automo-
bile committee will be called at once,
the work reorganized, and a concen-
trated effort made in the few weeks
remaining to sweep Ann Arbor of un-
registered student cars. Probation will
be meted out for a first offense; sus-
pension from the University for a
definite period for a second offense.
The Daily, in recommending this pro-
cedure, has been governed by the
theory that drastic punishment for
the minority who refuse to cooperate
is to be preferred to general punish-
ment for all, which is virtually what
a general ban would amount to.
If, in the opinion of the President,
the students continue to attempt to
disregard the present University rul-
ings, despite the fact that the situa-
tion has been clearly placed before
them both by President Little in his
address at Hill auditorium on Sunday
and by The Daily, a general ban on
all student cars will be enacted by-the
Regents and placed in operation.
WORLD TRIBUNAL
SEEN AS PEACE
NEED BY HIGGINS
Avowing that world peace will
never be guaranteed until all nations
submit international disputes to an
impartial International tribunal, Prof.
Alexander Pierce Higgins, professor
of International Law at Cambridge
university, speaking under the auspi-
ces of Coif, honorary legal society,
yesterday delivered the first of a two-
lecture series on the subject, "In-
ternational Relations and Internation-
al Law."
Professor higgins will deliver the
second public talk at 4:15 o'clock to-
day in Room C, of the Law building
on, "The Locarno Settlement". He
was principal speaker at the annual
Coif banquet which was held last
night at the Lawyer's club.
The main trouble, he said in his
afternoon talk, lies in the disregard
by the people of their duty to follow'
the doings of other nations besides
their own. The average citizen fails
to appreciate the close interrelation
between home affairs and foreign
events. An unusual knowledge is
necessary to understand international
relations, he said, especially at pres-
ent when the world is in the throes
of the greatest period of unrest in its
