The Michigan
Democratic Schism.
IT WOULD probably be a mistake
to be too certain that the break
of William A. Comstock with the regular State
Democratic machine will be permanent, but nev-
ertheless, whether permanent or not, the split
is certain to be of some consequence to the Mich-
igan Democratic Party.
Two courses are open to Washington Democrats.
They can either restore a greater measure of
leadership and patronage distribution to the Mich-
igan party leaders, or they can disregard Com-
stock's action and face the November elections
without his support. This may not be an easy
question to decide. How much support will Com-
stock carry with him? How much support would
the party gain or lose nationally by restoring
control of patronage distribution to local leaders?
What new factors may be expected to alter the
situation between now and November?
Nothing more than a guess can be offered now
in answer to these questions. Because politicians
as adroit as Farley and his cohorts well know
that patronage should be used to increase party
strength, it is not illogical to say that the national
Democratic Party prefers what risks it may have
incurred in its handling of patronage to the sur-
render of any of its power. If that is so, we
may expect no invitation or inducement from
them in an effort to get Comstock back into line.
Furthermore, should Frank Murphy elect to
run for governor, or should any similar event
of commensurate importance occur in Democratic
ranks, it is likely that the Comstock bolt will be
forgotten, even by many who have followed him
in the past. It is probable, then, that national
Democratic leaders, having let the situation
develop, are not tremendously surprised by what
has happened. Whether they have any plans to
off-set Comstock's action, and what those plans,
if any, may be is a question the politically-minded
must wait to have answered.
The Teachers
Wake Up...
TIHE ADDRESS made by Prof.
George S. Counts, of Teachers Col-
lege, Columbia University, last Sunday in St. Louis
during the inaugural meeting of the John Dewey
Society may prove to be the start for a program
of action on the part of the teachers throughout
the country against various attempts to impair
their academic freedom.
The John Dewey Society is an organization
formed to study the school in relation to society
and social problems. Its first meeting was held'
indSt. Louis because the Department of Super-
intendence of the National Educational Associa-
tion was also holding its meeting there, enabling
teachers to attend both meetings very conven-
iently.
Professor Counts was very vigorous in his de-
nunciation of Hearst, Father Coughlin, the Daugh-

ters of the American Revolution, and the American
Liberty League, characterizing them as forces
"combined in an effort" to destroy both "Amer-
ican ideals and freedom in schools." Professor
Counts should be commended for his attack on
these demagogic groups who are trying to in-
fluence teaching in both public and private
schools. No one can deny that those mentioned
ahnov ehve directlov r indirctlv tried tn bring

tion, which has been somewhat docile of late, made
a strong plea for "the utmost freedom of scholar-
ship and investigation in our schools." Perhaps
it shows that the teachers are at last beginning
to protest actively against restrictions imposed
upon them. Maybe they are beginning to hear
pleas similar to the one voiced by Norman Thomas
when he addressed a forum of public school teach-
ers on his recent visit to Ann Arbor. Thomas
urged teachers to become active and to show that
they were not "disembodied souls swimming in
the cultural realms of the NEA."
John Bull's
Humanitarianism ...
WHEN ITALY published Great Brit-
ain's state secrets a few days ago,
international complications were expected, but
John Bull has taken it all very calmly, and the
suspicion arises that perhaps this was just his
way of making public news which must have been
startling to all good British subjects, but not to
the nations of the continenti
Every European country has recognized Italy's
campaign in Ethiopia as being all in good order,
and the reports from the British foreign officet
published in an Italian newspaper reveal that Eng-t
land does not consider Italy's conquest of sufficientt
importance to merit resistance. In spite of this re-
port, there are a number of facts about Greati
Britain's empire which require attention.c
First, the British need the territory about Lake
Tsana, and they would need a corridor joining
the lake to the Sudan. This territory is needed
to safeguard Nile tributaries coming from Ethi-
opia. Then there are tribes protected by Great
Britain which need part of Ethiopia for pasturage.
These facts were known to be in the British
view from the beginning, and had the Italians
been driven out, they would have stood as they
were. However, since the Italians have been suc-
cessful to some degree, and since the sanctionsI
have done them no military harm, the Britishf
must look to the possible failure of the Eden pro-
gram, which is not held in great regard in Eu-
rope.
The British seem to have decided to face thev
facts realistically, to give up a high purpose, andr
to prepare to share in the spoils of the conquest 1
of a free people. Releasing the report at thisn
time, then, was an intelligent bit of statesmanship,
for it would undoubtedly be better to share in the a
spoils than to lose the Nile headwaters. Theu
British will have to put on the best front that
they can after a losing attempt at political hu-f
manitarianism and simply annex a little more
territory.s
[As Others See atJ
The Private Claims Racketf
(From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
W E RECENTLY commented upon the growtha
of the private claims racket in Congress, withN
particular reference to the astounding effort of onec
A. S. Postnikoff to recover more than a million
dollars which he lost as a result of selling shoes
to White Russians in 1919. Although Postnikoff
admitted he had no legal claim upon the govern-
ment, and although his demands had previouslyr
been rejected by the State Department and the
Comptroller-General, Congress generously votedi
him $900,000. The grant was vetoed by the Pres-
ident, and the same House which was willing
to hand out $900,000 a few days before sustained
the veto by a vote of 332 to 4.
Wide attention was given to the Postnikoff in-
cident because of the size of his claim and the
unusual conditions surrounding it. But the Post-
nikoff claim is only one of hundreds of private
claims, aggregating huge sums of money, that are
being pressed for passage in omnibus bills. Some
of these claims are meritorious; others are entirely
without merit. But by the process of lumping
items together, many of no merit get by as the
members of Congress invoke the ancient formula:

"You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours."
The omnibus private claims bills were made pos-
sible by the adoption in 1933 of a House rule pro-
vided that if private claims are objected to when
first presented, they may be sent back to commit-
tee, and there grouped with other claims, which
are reported back in an omnibus measure. It re-
mained for a few members of Congress, notably
Representative Cochran of Missouri, to call atten-
tion to the manner in which these omnibus mea-
sures are swindling the government.
A firm that made machine-gun carts for the
government, for which it was paid about $860,000,
now asks $37,000 more, at the rate of $4 per cart.
"The War Department," says Mr. Cochran, "con-
sidered the claim. rejected it, and holds that the
company had ample time to go to court if it
desired, but failed to do so Now comes the attor-
ney and wants the statute of limitations set aside."
It seems some damage was done to St. Ludgers'
Church of Germantown, Mo., by troops during the
Civil War. For this, Congress is asked to pay out
$3,000. President Roosevelt once vetoed this claim,
but it is now back on the doorstep.
Perhaps the prize exhibit, however, is the claim
of a man who agreed to purchase garbage from
a southern cantonment during the war. He ac-
quired numerous little pigs that were to be fat-
tened for the market. The garbage, however, failed
to develop in sufficient quantities for this purpose,
owing, we suppose, to the fact that the boys at
camp were too hungry to leave food in their mess
kits. The contractor originally wanted $33,000.
He is now willing to take $9,000. Mr. Cochran
rcomments as follows: "The war department held
the government never guarantees to keep suffi-
cient soldiers in a camp simply to provide garbage
for a contractor to feed hogs. There is no merit
to the claim."
These are but a few of the claims Congress

WV7ASHINGTON, Feb. 26. - Of all
the traits of Lincoln, none helped
h, more to enshrine his memory among
the "common people" of his country
-whom he said God must love, for He

makes him already almost a legend-

And if Lincoln, still armed with
that saving grace of humor, could

"The Lady Consents" is one of

Near Eastern
Civilization Is
TopicOf Talkl
Prof. Waterman Diusses
Pre-Christian Culture In
Old Mesopotamia
The highly-developed civilization
of Old Mesopotamia, which had
reached a high stage of culture by
the year 3,000 B. C. was discussed
Monday afternoon by Prof. Leroy
Waterman, head of the department
of Oriental Languages and Literature,
in an illustrated talk given in Alumni
Memorial Hall.
Recent indications near the site
of old Babylon, said Professor Water-
man, seem to indicate that the civili-
zation extended back at least as far
as 5,000 B.C., and it is expected that
excavations will soon have uncovered
completely the level of a city of 4,000
B.C.
The name Mesopotamia means
"Between Two Rivers," said Profes-
sor Waterman, and although this is
probably a mistranslation, he added,
it nevertheless describes the country
very aptly. The great valley is
bounded almost completely by the
Euphrates and Tigris rivers, with the
small gap at the northwest end closed
by a chain of high mountains. It
was in the east and south of this
fertile valley that the ancient civili-
zation waxed strongest, he said.
Professor Waterman then had
shown a number of slides of the
monuments of the Sumarians, prehis-
torical predecessors of the Mesopo-
tamians. These included pottery
painted in geometric and realistic de-
signs. Professor Waterman explained
that the art of these early people
was not done for "art's sake,". but
existed for purely religious and super-
stititious reasons. Thus, when the

ancient Sumarians painted a herd of
bison, he said, they did so because
they felt that doing so gave them
a claim over the animals, and would
expedite hunting them.
