p.m. Prof. C. F. Korstian of the for-
estry department of Duke University
will give his address scheduled for
yesterday, postponed when the east-
ern floods delayed his arrival. The
address will be made before a general
assembly in the Natural Science Au-
ditorium.
Economics Section
In the meeting of the section on
Economics and Sociology, Prof. How-
ard S. Ellis of the economics depart-
ment opened the session with a paper
on "Contemporary Mercantilism in
Europe."
With the exception of Austria, he
reported, every European nation has
set up an exchange control-a "freez-
ing" of all foreigners' bank accounts
together with the erection of an ab-
solute monopoly of foreign exchange
dealings for their central banks.
This system has been accompanied
by agreements between two govern-
ments in the form of a clearing sys-
tem, by which the two countries trade
on open account and settle balances
periodically. By this method, he said,
"Not only do producers and consum-
ers in the countries themselves lose
through the narrowness of the mar-
ket, but third countries find them-
selves cut off completely."
ed.
Thus each European nation has set
up for itself the requirement of a
highly favorable balance of trade
through control of all business rela-
tions with foreign governments, re-
sulting in a modern mercantilism,
which can never be entirely success-
ful.
"The prognosis is very blue," he
concluded. "Exchange control will
never be completely abolished, be-
cause the nations of Europe don't
want foreign trade; they want self-
sufficiency."
The theory of agricultural plan-
ning was discussed by Prof. H. S. Pat-
ton, of Michigan State College.
"The economy of scarcity has been
replaced by the economy of planned
abundance," he said, in discussing the
replacement of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Act by the new soil con-
servation plan. "The Supreme Court
rendered a service to all concerned by
sweeping away at a single judicial
stroke the entire tax and commodity
scheme instead of leaving it to piece-
meal destruction by Congress. The
act had accomplished all it could, and
the change was from an emergency
relief measure to a more permanent
program of national agricultural
planning.
"The change was not, therefore, a
mere circumvention of the Supreme
Court decision, but a return to the
original purposes of the Department
of Agriculture and the land-grant
colleges.
A paper prepared by Benjamin E.
Young of the National Bank of De-
troit was read at the luncheon meet-
ing of the section yesterday on the
subject of "Recent Banking Legisla-
tion and the Problems of the Banker."
Among the purposes of recent
banking legislation Mr. Young's pa-
per cited two in particular: 1) to pro-
vide a stronger control over the ex-
pansion and contraction of credit;
and 2) to provide for the expansion
of credit of a capital or non-selfliq-
uidating character.
In discussing these purposes, Mr.
Young's paper held any system of
credit control to be basically un-
American and contrary to American
tradition, "the danger also being that
overcontrol might prove more hazar-
dous than the so-called 'undercon-
trol' of the past."
The change from short-term to
long-term credit aimed at under the
second point he considered "probably'
sound in the long run," but added
that it threw the banking machinery
out of gear. "We may soon see the
time when the dearth of commercial
loans, the necessity for income and
the confidence which may amount to
overconfidence engendered by the
untried theory of rediscountability of
bank paper will overcome caution on
the part of your bankers.
"This problem, it seems to me, is the
major problem of the banker. The
individual banker may pass over the
basic problems of national credit
control, feeling that there is little he
can do about it, but he cannot ignore
the problem of how he is to convert
the money entrusted to him into
earning assets."
Geology Section
In the section on geology and min-
eralogy, Howard B. Baker, a Detroit1
geologist, presented a paper offering
proof of the Atlantic rift theory,
which maintains that the Atlantic
---E-
Ocean was caused by a rift in
the ,
earth's surface splitting apart the r
continents of North America and
Africa, then almost in contact at
what is now Morocco and the New-
foundland Peninsula.
Twenty-five years ago Mr. Baker
appeared before the geological sec-u
tion of the Academy's 1911 meeting
{.as a student of the theory that theG
Atlantic Ocean occupies a widened
rift in the earth's crustal materials."
Yesterday he again appeared with6
evidence of geological similarities in
now widely separated regions of the
globe which he offered his audience in
support of his beliefs.
This he did by tracing several
mountain chains or fragments of
chains, now scattered in various con-
tinents and nations. "By the closure
of the Atlantic upon the globe, these
scattered parts come into reasonable
approximation," he maintained.
Mr. Baker traced first the remains
of the Early Caledonian mountain
system, which are to be found, ac-
cording to his paper, in Spitzbergen,
Greenland, Norway, the British Isles,
Quebec, and the eastern UnitedF
States.f
These fragments could only ber
aligned, he asserted, by an arrange-
ment of the globe which would allow
them to pass in turn through the
eastern American seaboard, the
southern bank of the St. Lawrence,
the western (then northern) coast
of Portugal and Spain, the eastern1
coast of Ireland, and the northwest-1
ern tip of Scotland.1
A second link he established by
use of the division of the Appala-1
chians, which run from Alabama
through Pennsylvania, New England,
and Nova Scotia. The Appalachians,1
he maintained, connected at one time1
with the Hercynian Atlas range ex-
tending along the African coast of
the Mediterranean from Morocco
through Algiers.
"In all essential particulars the
early Atlas range corresponds to theI
Appalachians broken off at the coast
from Long Island Sound to southern
Nova Scotia," he concluded from
great structural similarities in the I
two ranges.I
Establishing a third link composed!
of the "American front," a chain of
fragments beginning in Brittany and
extending in turn through southern
England, southeastern Ireland, and I
central Spain, he deduced that with-
in an area once delimited by the
three links thus established must
have been at one time, in contact,
what are now Spain, Portugal, Mo-
rocco, and Nova Scotia.
Prof. Ermine C. Case of the geology
department here reported on the dis-
covery of a new reptile of the Tri-
assic Period, found in Alcova, Wyo.,
of a semi-marine nature which add-
ed further support to the belief that
at that time the western ocean had
reached as far over the-present con-
tinent as Wyoming.
The reptile, he said, he had named
Corosauris alcovensis. It is a mem-
ber of the suborder Nothosauris of the
primitive Plesiosaurs.I
Psychology Section
Every murderer is influenced in
some way by neurosis, Dr. Lowell S.
Selling of the Detroit Psychopathic
Clinic told the Friday afternoon ses-
sion of the psychology section, meet-
ing in Natural Science Building.
"Neurosis may predispose toward
the commission of the crime of mur-
der," Dr. Selling said. "It may pro-
vide elements of escape from re-
sponsibility at the time of the mur-
der, or it may enable the individual
to escape from his problems caused
by the crime. And finally it may
provide the means for the individual
to try to make an escape from the
consequences of his crime."
He defined murder as a "neurosis
that is one of the most unusual types
of behavior that one can enumerate,
the most interesting and one of the
most inaccessible for study. Taking
human life, either accidentally or
maliciously," Dr. Selling held, "is an
act which is legally a category and
medico-psychiatrically a symptom,
but psychologically it represents a
climatic situation in social interrela-
tionships." The mental changes which
occur in the murder and the person-
ality type which he represents, he
said, are "significant and basic scien-
tific problems which it is our duty;
to investigate."
By neurotic, Dr. Selling said he
meant "diseased with a functional
mental disorder not severe enough to,
be a psychosis, but sufficiently grave
to cause discomfort and to cause
awareness of certain definite symp-
toms or signs." Although the prob
lem is not great in scope, he declared,
it is great in its importance to science
and society. In Michigan it is es-
pecially important, he explained, be-;
cause here the law states that acts
committed under the influence of
"irrestible impulse," caused by mental
disease may be considered insanity.

toll of at least 14 and damage of
$2,500,000. Most houses still were
surrounded by eight to 12 feet of

that a crowded bridge had collapsed.
Rivers in New England raced to-

The Connecticut overflowed into
Hartford, spreading frigid water over
15 per cent of the State Capital and
threatening to disrupt all business ac-

missing and damage was estimated
at $5,000,000.
A million dollars worth of yachts
at Essex, Conn., were endangered.
Throughout New England there
were 16 deaths, 100,000 homeless and
many unaccounted for. Total dam-
age was estimated at $100,000,000.

- Delegates to the Midwest Physical
Education Association conventionj
were told Friday that their job is not
fulfillled until "every child has an
adequate play life and every adultI
has a wholesome philosophy of life."
M. Florence Lawson, of the Univer-
sity of Illinois, interpreted the task
of physical education in that manner,
after Dr. Lee Vincent, of the Merrill-
Palmer School, Detroit, had sounded
a warning against "stamping a pre-l
conceived pattern upon all humanity."
"We believe in general," said Dr.I
Vincent, "that children should be so-z
cialized, and should learn to be at ease
with other children. But we abuseE
this principle when we compel all
children, regardless of background,
present status, or future possibility,
to participate in large group activities.
The real problem is to help each in-
dividual to achieve a satisfactory ad-
justment to his particular situation.
"You physical educators already
are doing a thorough job of buildingI
physical health for the masses. Youl
