S ECRETARY HULL'S plea for world- wide currency stabilization, made in Baltimore Thursday night, is encouraging not for the suggestion, for it has been made many times but because there is every indication that the administration is whole-heartedly behind it. It can hardly be refuted that the constant cur- rency manipulations of nations everywhere have considerably increased the severity of the depres- sion. Time after time some country would re- stabilize its monetary standard to gain the ad- vantage in foreign trade, and then inevitably another country would take steps toward equality. Other nations would follow and the result was af chaotic foreign trade system. If the United States will take the lead and isl successful, in this move, economic stability will' be returned to the world much sooner than a "hands off" policy would allow. The time is now ripe for such a move and there is a good chance of success. Things are on the upturn and no one is quite as desperate as he was a year ago. Success will bring a steady foreign market, trade will flow as it should and constant upheavals will not retard recovery as it has done consistently. It is, unfortunately, likely that none of the now prominent Republican candidates will cooperate with Europe in anything.

March 9.- Presi- dent Roosevelt may break a party precedent of a hundred years stand- ing along in June. If the talk among Democratic leaders as to what is apt to happen at the Philadelphia con- vention has any real basis, he mayI be the first Democrat in that time tc be nominated for the presidency by majority votes. That is true although Mr. Roose- velt and his renomination campaign manager, Postmaster General Farley. are following a hands off policy as to abolishment at Philadelphia of the Democratic traditional two-thirds nominating rule. Farley so says, and will make no prediction as to what, will happen about the old rule in the convention. There is a general feel- ing elsewhere in party circles, how- ev-.l, that the Philadelphia show will break the precedent. HOW THING CHANGE rTHE background ofCthat belief is a curious commentary on how things change between campaigns. If Mr. Roosevelt is reelected, it could be argued that retention of the two- thirds rule might prove a valuable asset to him four years later if he desired to control, party choice of his successor as standard-bearer. Per- petuation of Roosevelt policies may well be a major issue in 1940 for the Democrats to settle among them- selves. And that very fact, unquestionably, leads some party men today to con- clude that short of outspoken Roose- velt opposition to abolishment this J car of the two-thirds rule, a desire among luke-warm Roosevelt support- ers at Philadelphia to prepare in ad- vance against any passing along by the President of his party mantle in 1940 will aid the move to throw out 'e two-thirds rule.

XLVI No. 110 Notices Student Accounts: Your attention is called to the following rule passed try the Regents at their meeting of Feb. 28. 1936: "Students shall pay all accounts due the University not later than the last day of classes of each semester Dr Summer Session. Student loans wvhich fall due during any semester ,r Summer Session which are not paid or renewed are subject to this regulation; however, student loans not yet due are exempt. Any un- paid accounts at the close of busi- ness on the last day of classes will be reported to the Cashier of the University, and "(a) All academic credits will be withheld, the grades for the semester or Summer Session just completed will not be released, and no tran- scripts of credits will be issued. "(b) All students owing such ac- counts will not be allowed to register in any subsequent semester or Sum- mer Session until payment has been made." S. W. Smith, Vice-President and Secretary. The Subcommittee on Discipline of the University Committee on Student Conduct at its meetings of Feb. 14 and March 4. 1936, considered the case, of Mr. Howard Bratt, '38 Lit., charged with "scalping" a J-Hop ticket. This case was referred to and first heard by the Judiciary Commit- tee of the Men's Council, which Com- mittee recommended placing Mr. Bratt on probation for the second semester of the academic year 1935- 36. The University Subcommittee, after considering the case, concurred in the recommendation of the Ju- diciary Committee of the Men's Council and ordered that Mr. Bratt be placed on probation for the second semester. }i r y J e z t t t C 7 is I 1 't t I F c t. a c z i I BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Telephone 2-1214!

What Is Shortening? To the Editor: In the past few days I have heard from reliable sources that over two hundred freshmen were ex- pelled from this institution for failure to meet the grade requirements. Primarily, the University of Michigan's objection to such individuals is ignorance. But let me give you an example of an individual who is supposed to be eligible to remain in the University. A certain newlywed on this campus had the desire to make waffles for her devoted "lesser half." She asked some of her friends for a recipe for said waffles. They obliged her readily. As she innocently looked over the recipe, she asked in all sincerity, "Girls, what is shortening?" Now I ask you, is there any justice? Over two hundred freshmen expelled. In most cases it was probably due to misunderstandings arising from this complex college life. Given another chance, many would have succeeded. But they let an in- dividual remain in school, who, if her brains were T.N.T. they couldn't blow her nose. Husband, you have my sympathies "until death do you part." -Elre. As Others See It_ RECENT DECISIONS of the United1 States Supreme Court outlawingf New Deal legislation have accentuated the cry for an amendment to the Constitution giving Con- gress the power to enact laws designed to pro- mote the social welfare of the United States. Suchl an amendment was suggested recently by Lloydl K. Garrison, dean of the Law School of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin and a leader in the cleansing of the New York bar, to a meeting of the Associa-E tion of American Law Schools, in New Orleans.f Mr. Garrison said: "The core of my conclusions is that business in its main aspects has ceased to be of purely local significance; that its parts are interdepen- dent, composing in that larger view a single national enterprise; that these parts are highly unstable; that we dare not, for fear of chaos, allow these instabilities to run their course; that we must, if we would keep the economic machine from crushing the backs of the men who support it, design national policies to steady it, and that the Constitution does not confer sufficient national power for such purposes. "I suggest, therefore, an amendment giving the Congress power to enact such laws as in its judgment are seasonably designed to promote the. economic welfare of the United States." This pronouncement will undoubtedly draw forth the venom of the American Legion, the Liber'ty League and other self-styled saviors of the Constitution. As were the efforts of the Co- lumbia Broadcasting System to allow a Communist to talk on a chain program, it will be branded! by certain legislators as "treason." This proposal, however, deserves the respectful attention of everyone interested in good govern- ment, regardless of the rantings of Mr. Hearst, the Republican Party and the lawyers of the Liberty League. The teachers of law have studied the Constitution far better than anyone -else and their opinions certainly deserve to be considered. At least they are not as likely to be colored by prej-I udice and private necessity. Cutting Their Ownrhroats.. ESPITE all the theoretical knowl- I edge of economists, despite all the experience imbibed in countless other depressions, and despite common sense, most of the business men today continue ruthlessly to cut their own throats.' Most economists agree that one way to bring about a business upturn is to increase production. To increase production in a capitalistic country such as ours it is necessary to increase the purchasing power of the people, and this can be done only by increasing or keeping wages on a steady level, and at the same time reducing prices. The increased production resulting from such a step is the essential push which is necessary to put in motion all the productive factors of this complicated and easily upset economic system of ours. Past depressions have shown the utter neces- sity of increasing purchasing power of the people. Without a sufficient income the average man is not able to buy even all the necessities of life, let Englishman On Heidelberg. (From 'A London Diary' in New Statesman I and Nation) r[HE TIMES has been running an exceptionally interesting correspondence on the subject of the Heidelberg invitation to the British universi- ties. I thought Sir Charles Grant Robertson's let- ter final. He states that forty-four members of the staff of the University have been deprived of1 their posts for racial, religious or political reasons since 1933. There seems to be no reason why rep- resentatives of British universities should pay a visit, specifically to congratulate on its record of' academic achievement an institution whose claim to the title of "University" may now be seriously questioned. Moreover, however much British1 visitors may disown Nazi sympathies, it is certain that the German press and wireless will exploit their presence to propagate the idea that the British universities condone the proscriptive mea-J sures that the German universities have adopted.I Any kind-hearted professor who wants to show I his friendship by going to Heidelberg may expect; to find that he is represented as approving of Jew-baiting and of a. Totalitarian State. The most comic contribution to the discussion came from Sir Arnold Wilson, who told us that, after a long interview with Herr Kerrl, the sympathetic Reichsminister for Church affairs, he was sure that a way would be found to reconcile the claims of churches in Germany with those of the German state. "I seem to remember the same thing being said about the Jews." An Imitation Huey (From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) OF COURSE, no one, with the possible exception of himself, has taken Gov. Talmadge's presi- dential aspirations seriously, the general impres- sion being that he is an imitation Huey Long, with- out either Huey's ability or his personal charm. But the results of the presidential preference pri- mary in Seminole County, Ga., come as something of a surprise to many who have been led to believe that the blatant, red-suspendered governor at least commanded a preponderant following in his own state. Instead, Mr. Roosevelt won a' smashing victory. We suspect that Seminole County is typical of Georgia as a whole, and that when the test 6. Peggy Caution, too long I dwell with you!

RALPH McKINLEY The city's code of traffic regulations is being revised, for conditions, it is alleged, have changedt since the legal speed limit was fifteen miles an hour. Now. the fifteen-mile limit was good enough for the framers of the Constitution, if not too good for them. So The Conning Tower is taking this high-handed manifestation of speed- madness to the Supreme Court, submitting that there is nothing in the Constitution about raising' the limit of speed. It seems that the General's name doesn't rhyme with "stay good," after all. Yesterday afternoon a South Carolinian from Columbia called up and said that it is pronounced there - and by the Hagood family - Haygwood, rhyming, with "vague wood." The Peltons of Hancock County The Peltons, rich and dignified, went to Europe occasionally, which was not a usual occurrence for Hancock County. St. Augustine, San Francisco. New Orleans, Saratoga, yes, but not Europe! The souvenirs and trinkets they brought back were always Viewed with intense interest. They grew in size with each succeeding trip, until they culminated in a huge Lion of Lucerne, carved in wood. This wretched beast, whose dying agonies were a constant reproach to the S.P.C.A., soon completely unnerved you. After a call on the fascinating Peltons, you thought of him all through the night and racked your brains to find some alleviation for his pain. You always hoped he" would be feeling a little less sick on your next visit, only to find him waiting for you in a de- plorable state, just ready to expire. If only he would die, and have done with it! Another awe inspiring objet d'art which was anathema to you was a Large White Bust of the defunct Mr. Pelton. You were impressed with the fact that it was of Parian marble and carved in Italy. Italy! Think of that! It stood on a tall pedestal, and gave you the conviction that Mr. Pelton had been guillotined and his head mounted on thatpedestal as an ever constant reminder that lie was not to be forgotten, dead or not dead! When you were not suffering with the Lion of Lucerne you were stealing uncomfortable glances at That Bust, wondering what would become of you if Mr. Pelton should suddenly open his eyes. You would probably die on the spot, thus beating the Lion to it. Halfway up the lovely curving staircase was a niche in the wall in which stood the Statue of a Lady in flowing Greek draperies. When you were invited to a party it was polite to ascend to the second floor and leave your wraps in one of the palatial bedrooms. You had to pass The Lady going up, and you shrank in horror against the supporting bannisters lest she should suddenly extend the outstretched hand and grab your dress. Even if you got safely past, you turned and peered over your right shoulder to be quite certain she was not coming up after you. Truly, a visit to the Peltons, glamorous though it might be, had its drawbacks. B. ROSS The professional touch is missing in the gen- tlemen now operating elevators while the grace- less churls who used to operate them are at- tempting to gouge money from owners of build- ings. It is not alone in speed that the bootleggers, if one may, coin a phrase, are deficient; it is in landing the elevator floor smoothly and at the first try even with the other floor. The non- veterans jockey about, and .then don't quite make it. There is art in running an elevator, though we do not see how it is an art that any devotee can love. S'ome of the men want $23 a week; running an elevator would drive most of us mad in one day, and our guess is that there are many of us who wouldn't do it more than one day at $23 a day.
