question of the Franco-Soviet pact of mutual
assistance.
The chief objection to the pact seemed to be that
the U.S.S.R. still owes France some 22,000,000,000
francs for pre-war and war borrowing. ". . . and
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us . . . " may not mean the same
thing in French it does in English, but it would
be a good pearl for objecting deputies to study.
There may be many valid reasons for shying
away from a pact with Russia, but for France to
point out an unpaid debt as the reason, when that
same France continually defaults on her debts to
the United States, is just a bit comic.

Cheating
In The University .. .
T HE RECENT NEWS from a south-
ern university concerning the ex-
pulsion of some thirty students for cheating in
final examinations gives cause for looking into
our own examination system.
It is hard for us to believe that faculty members
are ignorant of the existence of widespread cheat-
ing on this campus, at least in the literary college.
The number of undergraduates who are unaware
and innocent of this dishonesty is unfortunately
few. Why cheating exists is another question.
In the majority of small classes there is no doubt
that the teacher can grade a student accurately
whether or not he has the assistance of a final
examination grade; in larger classes this is im-
possible. In many history courses, for instance,
the only contact between instructor and student
is the mid-semester and final examinations. It is
also in these large courses that cheating is the
most prevalent. It is rather a depressing sight to
any student with a sense of honor to observe that
out of a class of 100, there are perhaps 25 or 30
students who do not have books open in their laps,
cards in their hands, or some more subtle substi-
tute for brains. Probably in the beginning there
are only five or six students in this class who will
cheat but others, seeing their example, begin
cheating because they fear the bugaboo 'class
average' will get too far above them. Students are
literally forced to cheat. In this case, there is no
doubt that it is the fault of the system, not the
student. Too much is made to depend on the final
and the arbitrary A, B, C system is used instead
of the more advanced practice of merely marking
passed or failed. Grades have long since lost their
meaning, if they ever had any.
One of the interesting sidelights on this problem
of dishonesty in school work is that graduate stu-
dents are even more apt to practice it than under-
graduates. Observing a class in any summer ses-
sion that contains secondary teachers back for
graduate work would probably be a shock to
parents who trust their children to the care of
these same teachers. Their cheating seems to put
even the undergraduate to shame. There is some-
thing ludicrous about the picture of a high school
principal cribbing like the most wicked of third
graders.
The cure for these evils is probably, in many
cases, hard to find. In small classes all examina-
tions, other than oral quizzes in class and in
private, could well be abolished. Most of the fac-
ulty, we think, will agree that they can give a final
grade without resorting to an examination. In
larger classes under the present system the only
answer seems to be more detective work and more
exemplary discipline.
An alternative and pleasanter method, the value
of which should be re-investigated, is the honor
system. The engineering college claims that it
works well and there is no reason to believe that
it would not operate as successfully in the literary
college. When giver an opportunity to vote on
this system students defeated the measure, but it
might be well to bring the proposal up again.
There are probably many other plans that could
be worked out to curb the unwholesome situation
that now exists. One thing is certain: either dis-
honesty in University work must be stopped or it
will not be in the too distant future that a college
education will not be worth the $10 diploma fee.

Pan-A mericanism
(From the Colgate Maroon)
President Roosevelt's recent proposal for an
inter-American peace conference to encompass
twenty Central and South American governments
and the United States may well become a land-
mark in the world-wide drive for peace. The pro-
cedure assumed an angle somewhat new to diplo-
matic custom in that the requests for the meeting
were addressed to the heads of different govern-
ments rather than through the state departments,
a personal element which gives the entire proposal
additional cause for serious consideration.
Since the peaceful settlement of the Chaco dis-
pute between Bolivia and Paraguay, a new faith
in the peaceful settlement of disagreements be-
tween governments has pervaded the Americas.
Encouraged by this new faith and by the success
of past conferences, the nations of the western
world hold high hopes of the establishment of a.
permanent peace between the countries of North,
Central and South America, in an attempt to add
further impetus to the campaign for better inter-
national relations. Ever since the world War there
has been an almost universal interest in such con-
ferences. Unfortunately, however, the co-opera-
tion of certain nations has been lacking, thus
taking from the movement much of the force
which it might have had. Nevertheless, the unified
determination of the great majority of countries
has been concentrated upon the maintenance of a
policy of good will, and the co-operative efforts
of these nations is slowly but surely following the
rough road to success.
It is difficult for most of us to fully realize the
full significance of the conference under proposal,
or to recognize to any extent the real potentialities
of such a meeting. There is, however, one thing
of which all are conscious. We know that it is
only through the patient and tireless efforts of
such international conferences that permanent
peace among nations can become an established
reality.
The Teachers' Oath,
(From the New York Times)
President Angell of Yale University has made a
discerning answer to the question to which many
good citizens have not been able to find an answer
that has been satisfying to themselves: "Why
should teachers object to taking an oath of loyal-
ty?" First of all, it is because of the requirement
of such an oath carries "the outrageous initial
implication that teachers are not 'loyal' as indi-
viduals or as a group. The singling out of teachers
might be interpreted as a recognition of the ex-
ceeding importance of their labors in a democ-
racy. But the source of the insistence upon such
an oath hardly allows that inference. The demand
clearly has its origin in distrust and suspicion
rather than in appreciation and confidence. And
however well intentioned the purpose of some may
be, such an oath would result in putting into the
hands of others, whom he characterizes as "busy-
bodies," the power to attack and annoy the teach-
ers and to invite such interference in securing
attention to themselves as "defenders of the
national faith."
All who have wide acquaintance with teachers
will agree with President Angell that no more
"essentially loyal and patriotic' group of men and
women can be found anywhere. One can think of
their gladly taking a voluntary vow of loyalty as
a privilege, but not an exacted oath which "initial-
ly" reflects upon their honor and devotion.
Once you allow this entering wedge of arbitrary
interference with liberty of thought and speech in
educational institutions, you have started the
process which, carried to its logical conclusion,
leads to fascism, or bolshevism, pure and simple.
Begun under the holy aegis of patriotism, un-
checked its assured outcome is tyranny and the
destruction of intellectual freedom.
Dr. Bowman, in his first presidential address at
Johns Hopkins on the same day, was asking for
the preservation of "the house of freedom" which
we now inhabit, asserting the right of scholars "to
think, to discover and to report," and adding that

when Government tries to think for us, "not only
are our liberties lost but our thinking ceases."
Fighting The Pinks
(From the Ohio State News)
A new organization, unrecognized as yet by the
Council on Student Affairs, has made its appear-
ance on the campus. We understand it is a branch
of the Student Americaneers, a group which seems
to be interested in protecting the constitution.
As long as we live in a democracy it is probably
a good thing to have both sides of a question pre-
sented to the great mass of spectators. Since we
are to have an American Student Union which is
to FIGHT R.O.T.C., it is probably well that we
also have the Student Americaneers to fight FOR
the R.O.T.C.
But the question which is bothering us is this:
Who is back of this new anti-red organization?
We cannot believe that a group of college students,
educated in an atmosphere of scientific teaching,
can get all wrought un about the fate of the

Ballad Of A Singular Occasion
This morning I seem to be happy and gay:
My temper is even, my pulse is all right;
I look in the mirror and see right away
Such an eager young face that it gives me a
fright.
Am I somebody else? Did I die in the night?
There isn't an impulse I wouldn't obey:
I fell the new feathers! I'm off in a flight!
Then what shall I worry about today?
The middle of winter is lovely as May:
The dirty, mean streets of the city are bright.
I hear the fresh voices, and all that they say
Is polished and pretty, or proud and polite.
I am usually savage and ready to bite:
I'm the kind of a fellow they shoot in a play,
That the doctors give up, and the lawyers indict -
Then what shall I worry about today?
The mind over matter says matter is gray:
But blue is the sky and I'm high as a kite.
O happy the worrier, fit for the fray:
Was ever a man in this devilish plight?
I swear by the clock I was shaken and white,
Yet here I am bright as a nonny that's hey:
I'm really ashamed, and my heart is contrite -
The what shall I worry about today?

Prince, if they ask you my history, cite
The dark and the evil I wrestled with. Say
"He usually frowned and he fretted, but' .--

DAVID McCORD
Our favorite diarist, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt,
had her hair shampooed, which gave her a
chance, she wrote in yesterday's World-Tele-
gram, "chance to read a most delightful, though
not very new, book called 'Hound of Heaven.'
It is a dog story, so it must not be confused with
Francis Thompson's 'The Hound of Heaven.'
But we again accuse Mrs. Roosevelt of vague-
ness; she should have added the book contains
fifty pages, that it was published July 30, 1935,
by Appleton-Century (1), and that the author is
Sarah Addington.
The President has joined the Knights of Pyth-
ias, which is his eleventh fraternity, according
to the A.P. But the A.P. didn't mention one
fraternity -Phi Beta Kappa. He wears the key
on his watch chain, which is attached to his
coat lapel. Even in winter - that is, on February
10 -he wears no waistcoat.
"The Thirsty Earth Soaks Up the Rain"
La Follette has a policy which
Is roughly known as "Soak the Rich";
While Frank R. Kent, of the Baltimore Sun,
Believes in soaking every one.
My feeling is that this here nation
Is already soaked to saturation.
What we should like to hear is what Mr. Jus-
tice Sutherland, whom we heard read the
Supreme Court's decision on the press's freedom,
thinks of District Attorney Dodge's investiga-
tion of the Daily Worker. The Daily Worker
emphasizes the news that it thinks its readers
want emphasized; and its editorials are in violent
disfavor of the Republican and Democratic
parties. The papers whose freedom was guar-
anteed by the Supreme Court - and the court
was right - are, for the most part, partisan; they
are selective about news, particularly political
news. Few, it seems to us, are as topheavy as
the Daily Worker, but to interfere with it would
make "It Can't Happen Here" seem old-fashioned.

Sonnet. n. Poem of 14 lines (usu. rhyming thus:
Pig bat cat wig jig hat rat fig; lie red sob die
bed rob).
I could not tune my heartstrings for a pig
Nor could I give affection to a bat
Platonic is my feeling for a cat
Yet I have donned my silks and powdered wig
Joined in a saraband or called a jig

Put jewels on my fingers -plumed my hat
Burnished my beauty brighter for a rat
Who gave no sign nor cared a sour fig;
But quietly indifferent did lie.
Unless to paint my mouth with asking red
Stupid to catch my breath upon a sob
Silly to wish that I might early die
Better to tend my house and make my bed
Than tempt a thief who has no wish to rob.

A Washington
BYSTANDER
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. - 'ihe Su-
preme Court has accomplished
something approaching a miracle in
its T.VA ruling. At a time when the
air was full of controversy over the
court's place in the American gov-
ernmental scheme of things, it has
handed down an opinion that seems
to have pleased almost everybody but
Justice McReynolds, the lone dissent-
er.
That, at least, could be inferred
from early editorial and congressional
comment on the decision. To "anti-
new dealers," the strictly "limited"
nature of the opinion was the impor-
tant thing. That was the hole they
saw in the "new deal" victory dough-
nut. To which the "new dealers" an-
swered that those limitations set by
the court had been specifically asked
by the government, which was a fact.
THERE might be considerable sig-
nificance to this other fact: From
the hour that a former Republican
assistant attorney general, John Lord
O'Brien, was brought in to handle the
case for TVA and the decision to seek
the narrowest possible court test of
the constitutionality of the project
was reached, a great falling off in
TVA publicity handouts took place.
Before that the TVA publicity ma-
chine worked for months at an ex-
traordinary rate of speed. Hardly a
day passed without TVA handouts
flooding Washington news desks.
O'Brien's notion of how to make
the fight had, of course, to be rati-
fied by, Attorney General Cummings.
Presumably, since President Roose-
velt personally has indicated so much
interest in the TVA experiment, his
approval of the legal strategy was
sought and obtained.
A deduction to be drawn from that
is that the administration does not1
see anything in the limitations of the
Hughes opinion to obstruct its
broader national power and conserva-
tion aims as represented by TVA.
"Anti-new dealers" think, on the con-1
trary, that by implication those lim-
itations shut the door on any whole-
sale national government competition
with private power concerns. So both
sides appear to be happy.
FROM a political angle, whatever
invitation to new test litigation
of TVA or its like elsewhere is read
into the Hughes opinion, that decision
spells the legal status of administra-
tion policy in that respect as it will be
at election time. There is small
chance that any other suit to be filed
can work its way to the Supreme'
Court's attention before November.
Voters generally cannot delve into
the intricacies of the limitations of1
the TVA finding. It is hardly to be
doubted that the general public con-
ception of what happened is that the
"new deal" has won a sweeping vic-
tory on its power policy front. Thata
impression comes at a time when1
"new deal" prestige had suffered
severely due to constiutional upsets of
NRA and AAA.1
