rl the English, Socioic:y, and Political
N Science departments ut the work re
4i cquired is often what might reasonably
be expected in a three or even four
Iour course. Consequently when a
1l student carries 1 or 14 hours of other
difficult courses he hesitates to tak
13 a course which he would like but
which would require more peaa
prpr-tion than he could reasonably handle.
I So often he takes the easier course
I and lets it go at that.
:..r This is a problem which concerns
p upperclassmen much more than un-
derclassmen. The time of the junir-
y or senior is limited. He can enroll
in only a certain number of course:-
r before graduation and is often furtherl
t restricted by degree requirements. A
serious handicap is thus put upon the
student -who desires to do more ad-
vanced work in certain departments
rather than get a smattering of every-
thing. So, many of these advanced
courses are of but two hours credit.
1He does not receive adequate credit
for work done. It does not matter
much to the graduate student exactly
how much credit lie gets; his effort is
--of a different kind. But the upper-
classman faces a different probler.,
He must have group requirements met
5- 'and 120 hours and points to graduate.
He is likely to pass up a stiff two
hour course, no matter how good a
student hie is, for th:: course of thi~k
same amount of work and more credit
That is only human nature. By ey.-
panding many of these two hoar'
courses to three hours the way woulOt
be made easier, no more effort would
he required, and credit would go.
where credit is due.
With France definitely opposing
any separate disarmament conference
not connected with the League of Na-
tions, the prospects for the Coolidge
proposal to the "Fig Five" are not at
9.nromisino*ralthougi~h the situantion,
the diminution of land and air forces.
As Secretary of State Kellogg co-
mented on the French note, there
seenm to be several points in it which
[must have been caused by a misun-
derstanding of the true purpose of
the American proosal. If France ap-
lreciates that the proposel conference
would work, in effet, as a subcom-
mittee of the preparatory commission
of the League, except that it would
be less bulky, it is difficult to see how
they can~ conscientiously reject the
plan.
From their statement that they
wish any disarmament agreement to
concern all forces of warfare, it ap-
pears that the French are too loath
to make reductions in any depart-
ment without assurance that some
other naions will be better equipped
relatively after the final cuts are
made. With the background of war
and hate that has marked European
politics for centuries, it is possible, of
course, to understand the reason for
such an attitude if it really exists.
However, there seems little justifica-
tion for delaying reduction of naval
forces "into the indefinite future" on
such grounds.
As has been intimated in some
quarters, the French refusal may lead
to a four power parley involving this
country with England, Japa, and
Italy which are all expected to favor
the project. While any definite action
would be hampered by the absence of
France, much benefit would undoubt-
edly come from the discussion, and
even France might be suffcietnly im-
pressed by the sincerity of the other
powers to join finally in some reduc-
tion.
C4?AVITY
Newtcn discovered the law of gravi-
tation. It took a Michigan professor
of history to apply it to international
politics some several centuries later.
Prof. reston Slosson declares that
"America will be drawn into the
League of Nations by the force of
gravitation."
At rare intervals professors seem t
~et sensible ideas, and this is un-
goubtedly one of them. To suppoe
that the united States could, if it
would, keep out of the League of Na
tions indefinitely is almost absurd
That any nation which pretends t
love peace should deliberately scor
membership in a world organi~atio

h4lievable.

In view of the Detroit Recorder'
court scandal, the American Social
Hygiene association's report, which
characterized Detroit as the vilest
city in the country, the Vollmer sur-
vey, and the recent conservative esti-
mate of a retiring police commissioner
that there are 15,000 blind pigs with-
in its limits, the State Legislature
has come to the conclusion that there
is too much crime in the automobile
city. And not knowing just where
to start cleaning up, the State Senate
has passed a measure ordering an in-
vestigation, which will probably be
passed in turn by the House.
The State Senate is quite right in
investigating before acting, on th(
Detroit crime situation. Corruption
exists in so many quarters thata
thoroughi survey will have to be made
to find out just where to begin using
the broom. That a thorough house-
cleaning is necessary has been pain-
fully obvious for years. It can only
be hoped that the legislative measure
will make up in efficiency what has
been lost by delay in taking steps to

Strammfest said to Schneidekind. And'c

"Annajanska" was the better.
Everyone enjoyed themselves. Anna-(,

son, because she could fire off blank!
cartridges until five of the six were
gone; Stammfest, or Charles Living-
stone, because ho played general,
drunk, and could revel in gestures,
the most striking one consisting of
spreading lies; Schneidekind, Har-e
lan Cristy, because he too had
a part in the circus, with ges-I
tures. The only questionable per-
former was t he little Bolshevik.
perhaps because he had acquired
downstairs some offstage respect for
Annajanska. He looked worried even
behind a beard.j
"The Man of Destiny" dragged, not t
through anyone's fault but the au-j;
thor's. Earl Fleischman alternated1
admirably between Napoleon anda
thinly disguised Shaw. Robert Wet-
zel played a sort of parenthetical inn-,s
