RED C 05 MI'E Stressing the importance of ob- serving the judgments offered by foreigners of American literary works, Prof. Howard Mum ferd Jones, of the English department, yesterday in a radio address dis- cussed three books dealing with the part America has come to play in international affairs. The three books Professor Jones spoke on were "Conquest," by John Carter; "America Looks Abroad," by Paul M. Mazur; and "America Comes of Age," translated from the French of Andre Siegfried. All these books were written before the in- dustrial crisis. Depict America's Growth. The first two books picture the expansion of an American indus- t#ial empire as something quite different from the expansion of the British empire, the difference aris- ing from the fact that American expansion does not involve the mili- tary conquest of new territories, it was pointed out. "Whether these men are right in this interpretation, we shall have to leave to the economic and poli- tical experts to say," said Professor Jones, "but the point for us is this: that if the impact of the huge American industrial development upon other imperialistic nations had not been profoundly felt, it is just possible that the Siegfried book would not have been written." Praises Siegfried's Book. Professor Jones praised "America Comes of Age" as the most pene- trating study written by a foreigner about the United States in the twentieth century. "I am inclined to think this be- cause M. Siegfried really tried to find out the facts. As you know," he said, "most Europeans who come to America think they have seen the United States, when all they have seen is New York and Chicago, and what they can see out of the car window as the train rushes them from one city to another." But M. Siegfried, he said, is a distinguished economist, a profes- sor in the School of Social Sciences in Paris; he has visited the United States some six or seven times; he has been in almost every state in the Union, and he has talked with all sorts and conditions of people.

TALKS, ON DEA TH PENALTYPLANNED Collect More Than ANN ARBOR IBNWS-BRIEFS M E TERS ON T AXIS URGED BY O'BRIEN Police Chief Advocates Unify of Fare Systems. Questioned yesterday concerning his opinion regarding practiablel solution of the taxicab situation in Ann Arbor, Thomas O'Brien, chief of police, indicated that he was firmly in favor of establishing the taximeter system as universal. "The only solution to the problem which would bring the taxis under the control of the police would be to force all the cabs to use meters," he said. "At present, with the cabs legally operating under two dis- tinct fare systems, there is no way for the police to check up on them. We realize that the situation is bad, but at present we are forced to relyI on complaints of passengers. The difficulty is that in spite of contin- ual dissatisfaction very few passen- gers take the trouble to report to us the license numbers of cab driv- ers who are violating the law." TWENTY ENLISTED FOR TRIPABROAD Chaffin Announces Registrations in Glee Club European Tour. Twenty applications have been received by the Varsity Glee club for membership on the "Golden Days" tour of Europe which will take place next summer, announced Gayle Chaffin, '31SM, manager of the organization, yesterday. "Although the applications have been rather slow in coming in so far," Chaffin said, 'it is expected that with the arrival of warmer weather, the number will material- ly increase." Circulars describing the tour have been printed and may be had from members of the club. Automobiles Collide Failing to stop at Fourth avenue as he was driving west on E.
