"So you see," and here Professor Strauss chuckled, "although I am retiring because I am too old, I don't think my times were better than the present." As for changes in the University Professor Strauss says they have been "tremendous," but nevertheless he thinks Michigan was "not less great then (when he came here as a student around 1890) as a University thai now, and it had as many great men in proportion." A university, how- ever, he added, "is always bigger than the men in it, even the big men." Presidents Cooperative "Very happy" in his work, Profes- sor Strauss emphasized that he was "finely supported by several presi- dents" of the University. He became chairman of the English department at the same time that Marion Leroy Burton took up his residence in the President's home, "and both he and Dean Effinger (the late John R. Ef- finger, dean of the literary college) were very helpful in building up the department." College newspapers, believes Pro- fessor Strauss, who is serving his fourth year as chairman of the Board in Control of Student Publica- tions, "do a real service in keeping the students in touch with the world and the campus. And they are an important educational factor in training the men who work on them for the field of journalism." Professor Strauss paid high compli- ment to his successor, Prof. Louis I. Bredvold of the English department, but his praise was no more than Professor Bredvold had for him. Is Renowned Fisherman But, even more than all his schol- arlyuachievements,this interviewer, a very persistent but very ill-fated fly- caster, is impressed with Professor Strauss' prowess as a fisherman. Fishing is his chief hobby, and the three-foot, seven-inch muskellunge mounted on his study wall testifies to his ability at that sport. Caught in the Lake of the Woods, Ontario, the fish weighed more than 35 pounds. And this fish story is on the up and up, too, because Profes- sor Strauss has witnesses to the fact that he himself hauled it in. Sixty-four years old now, Profes- sor Strauss has another year before he may retire voluntarily. He plans to continue teaching, and says he may not retire until he is 70, the age of compulsory retirement. And speaking of the rule of compulsory retirement at 70, Professor Strauss thinks it "is a good rule, but like all good rules, it should not be too in- flexable." THE WEEK IN RE=VIEW World and National News In Brief WORLD Insurrection And Resur- rection Premier Keisuke Okada, bobbing up alive yesterday after the entire world believed him assassinated, pro- vided the dramatic climax to a four- day military revolt in Japan. Still dead remained Minister of Finance Karekiyo Takahashi; Viscount Ma- kato Saito, Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal; Gen. Jotaro Watanobe, Inspec- tor General of Military Education; Col. Denzo Matsuo, brother-in-law and secretary to Okado, for whom he was mistaken by revolting army officers Wednesday morning, and some 30 others. Apprehensive lest the growing sentiments against conquest indicat- ed by the Japanese people in last Thursday's elections bring about con- ciliatory policies in government af- fairs, a group of extreme militarists Wednesday morning set out to eradi- icate liberal leaders and seize the government. For 24 hours, 12,000 loyal troops sought to restore order under martial law, while complete telephone communication with the outside world was cut off. Yesterday, after four days of disorder, the last of the rebels surrendered. Whichever way the new govern- ment turns, it seems destined for trouble. If the Emperor accedes to the demands of the army for a cab- inet dominated by militarists, he faces civil disturbances and continua- tion of an expensive and internation- ally dangerous policy; if, on the other hand, he recognizes the growing lib- eralism among the people, he faces a repetition of this military disorder. Watching with particular interest for the Emperor's decision are China and Russia. Defensive Agreements Torn between suspicion of Mus- covites and envy for the strength of Soviet army and air forces, the French Chamber of Deputies debat- ed heatedly this week a five year Franco-Soviet pact of mutual assist- ance. Finally, by a surprisingly large majority of 353 to 164, the measure passed and was sent to the Senate for approval, which may not come in this session despite pressure. Proclaimed, as was the Franco- Russian alliance before the War, a purely defensive agreement, the pres- ent pact differs in that it is drawn to be within the framework of the League of Nations, and in the ab- sence of territorial intent in the pres- ent instance. The Reich was quick to interpret the move as a gesture in the direction of a nutcracker grip on Germany, and is reported chagrined L _ .1 at the entrance of Russia once more in Western European politics.+ Naval Conference Apparently undisturbed, however, Germany has continued to be coop- erative at the London Naval Con- ference, joining with Great Britain and the United States in a proposed three-power treaty. France, recov- ered from her sullenness, suggested a four-power pact, between Great Brit- ain, France, Italy and the U.S., with a separate treaty between Great Britain and the United States. Italy,; however, refused, citing technical dif- ferences, although really angry about sanctions. Five-Piower Pact Falls; In the same spirit of a "breath- ing spell," Hitler turned down Mus- solini's proposed five-power combi- nation (Italy, Germany, Poland, Austria and Hungary). Rebuffed, but not dismayed, Il Duce is report- ed planning to denounce the Locarno Pact and the Italo-French agree- ment of last January. Meanwhile, in Great Britain, a gloomy speech by Sir Anthony Eden prepared the way for a heavy billion and a half dollart armament program.t N ATI AL The Budget On Friday President Roosevelt an- nounced a budget proposal to meet the crisis produced by AAA invalida- tion and passage of the Bonus Act. Calling for 1,137 million dollars, the proposal suggests 786 million addi- tional annual revenue for the next three years and 620 million annually for the following six years. Republican Senators Dickinson and Hastings immediately jumped on the proposal's most politically vulnerable point-"letting Congress worry about raising the revenule." Democratic Representative Doughton, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, predicted the proposal's passage and said his committee would present a bill in final shape by April 1. Yester- day, foreseeing possible dissatisfac- tion among their constituencies, a number of Democrats withdrew their support, but a majority of the usual administration backers fell behind the President again. Meanwhile Congressional inflation- ists who were caught napping by the President's sudden proposal planned a vigorous advocacy of the Patman Greenback Bonus Bill. IreJ Raiser Angry Republicans pounced on the war department order to Maj.-Gen. Johnson Hagood, commander of the Eighth Corps Area and the Third Field Army, to return home and "await orders." The official reasons given were General Hagood's char- acterization of WPA spending as "pouring money down a rat hole," and other examples of "intemperate statements" in his 18 years as as a standing general. Holding the President directly responsible, Re- publicans flayed unmercifully, while Representative Blanton, (Dem., Tex.) of Texas labelled the order "damn- able, infamous, dirty and inexcus- able." The Week In Congress The House sent the Soil Conserva- tion Bill to the Senate where it was amended and later accepted by both houses. Officials estimate that had the measure been in effect during 1935 farmers would have received 22 per cent more total income from sales of crops and Federal benefits than they did. As to its constitu- tionality, Senator Smith, chairman of the Agricultural Committee, said it was "as constitutional as a matter of this kind can be." It was sent to the President for his approval.
