A relationship between the con-

The survey was made at an as-

Electorall

cbanged their choices in the fields
they had elected.
The survey divided the total list
of replies into six groups.
Thirty-seven men now at the end
of their first year are entirely un-
decided as to their plans. The
scholarship of that group is the
lowest, rating 1.7, or slightly below
a C. The next group according to
scholarship, standing at 2.31, in-
eludes 76 men who have not chang-
ed their minds and whose elections
needed no confirmation. Next comes
a small group of 10, who have made
some change, such as from mechan-
ical engineering to industrial engi-
neering. Their group scholarship is
2.40.
Men who experienced no change
of mind" during the year, but who
received confirmation from their-
mentors, are in the next group,
with a scholarship average of 2.52.
Those who have definitely chang-
ed choice of departments - number
24 with an average scholarship of
2.52.
The highest group consists of 20
men who are still trying to decide
between two departments. They
have the high rating of 2.74, or
nearly B.
'Special Mention'
Addedt Diplomas
Add "special mention" to the list
of recordings on diplomas.
For those who do work on high
caliber in some department of the
literary college, they will receive
"special mention" in that subject.
. This action was taken.at a meet-
ing of the literary college faculty.
All in all, 13 names were submit-
ted, while other departments, are"
expected to make later recommen-
dations.

System Sent to House
of Lords.
LONDON, June 2-(P)-The house
of commons tonight, by a vote of
278 to 228, passed on third reading
the, electoral reform bil, which is
expected to revolutionize the Brit-,
ish election system. The bill was
sent to, the house of lords..
Under its provisions, voters would
register their first and second pref-
erence for members of parliament
in constituencies where three can-
didates were running. If the lead-
ing candidate then did not poll a
clear .iajority over his two oppo-
nents the second preferences would
be examined and distributed be-
tween the two leading candidates
in determining the winner.
The system was designed to
bring the number of members of
each party into commons more in
accord with the number of votes!

Papal Nuncio Retains His Post;
Recall Was Expected as
Protest on Ban.
ROME, June 2.-()-Secret ne-
gotiations to break the deadlock
between the Holy See and the Ital-
ian state were in progress tonight.
Following the closing of Catholic
youth clubs by the Italian govern-
ment, it was learned from a good
source that conversations are being
conducted by Cardinal Gasparri,
who signed the Lateran treaty and
concordat in 1929,, with Premier
Mussolini.'
Details Kept Secret.
Cardinal Gasparri spent an hour
today in the office of the papal sec-
retary of state and it is generally
understood (that the aged, retired
statesman is connected with the
handling of the present sitition.
Considerable mystery surrounds
these conversations and the iden-
tity of others taking part in them.
Both the papal and Italian foreign
officer say that they are proceeding,
but no details have been made pub-
lic.
Observers point significantly to
the fact that the papal nuncio to
Rome is still at his post. Many
diplomats and even Vatican officials
had expected his recall as a protest
to the duce's banning of the Cath-
olic youth organizations.
The pontiff, instead, is abiding
his Tine but losing no opportunity
to express his disapproval of the
action of the Fascist government.

Permit Y. M. C. A. to Open.
Meanwhile the atmosphere today
was cleared of some of its doubts.
Playgrounds of the Knights of Co-
lumbus. were said to have been
closed under the general order
against the Catholic organizations.
The Y. M. C. A., however, through
a sort of affilation with the Balilla,
an organization for Fascist boys,
was allowed to reopen after half
an hour{ technical closing of one
room. . .
Another doubt removed was that
of some quarters about the finality
of Mussolini's dissolution of the
Catholic youth societies. It was
shown by the foreign office's an-
nouncement that the dissolution
was real, although Mussolini can
rescind the order later, thus en-
abling the clubs to reorganize.
A brief staement is expected
from the premier tomorrow after
a meeting of the Fascist party di-
rectorate of 18 leaders.

ment Urged to
-ibition and B c
$5,000,000,000.

NEW ~ORK, June 2.-(/P)---Wil-
liam Randolph Hearst, head of thej
Hearst newspapers, tonight in al
radio address urged the govern-
ment to borrow $$5,000,000,000 to re-
store prosperty and suggested that
it could pay off the debt in five
years by abolishing prohibitibn.
"This is not a time to reduce the
national debt to burdensome taxa-
tion and thereby reduce prosper-
ity," he said. "It is a time to in-
crease the expenditure of the gov-
ernment in public works, in the
employment of labor, and thereby
increase prosperity. .Then out of
prosperity pay off the debt."
Prosperity, he continued, means
increased incomes and values out
of which the government would
"eventually get, even with iod'es
ate taxation," an increase income
to pay off the loan.
"And," he added, "if the govern-
ment deesires further to increase
its income, let it end this folly of
prohibition which does not prohi-
bit and substitute g o v e r n m ent
control of the manufacture and
distribution of alcoholic beverages,
and so secure for itself, on the ba-
sis of the figures of Canada's excise
income, an additional income of a
billion dollars a year.',
"That excise income to the Unit-
ed States government of a billionj
dollars a year would in itself pay
off in five years $5,000,000,000 bor-
rowed and spent to restore prosper-
ity,

Canadian tariff increases brought
immediate political reverberations
today, but administrative circles de-

Both Democrats and Republicans
issued statements expressing vary-

home, Senator Smoot, co-author of
the United States tariff bill, said the
Canadian action was not a retallia-
tion against the Hawley-Smoot act.
