"Modern history is not only based on factual investigation as distinct from the literary style of the grand theme but is a discussion of the social, cultural, and economic forc- es in society and not mainly a po- litical story," said Prof. Thomas M. Marshall, of the history depart- ment of Washington university,, speaking yesterday in Natural Sci- ence auditorium. "The changed viewpoint in early American history has come about from an appreciation of the signi- ficance of the frontier in American history and the expansion of Europe over the American continents," Professor Marshall said. The first period of European con- tact with America has been inade- quately described as a period of exploration and discovery, while it was in fact from the very begin- ning an expansion and colonizing movement, Professor Marshall con- tended, and the general impression given by history texts that the ear- ly comers to America were merely consumed with curiosity, came, looked about them and went back is erroneous. "Spain was thrilled by the dis- covery of new lands, and Columbus had more applicants than could be accommodated in the seventeen ships with which he sailed on his second voyage. These men were colonists," Professor Marshall de- clared, "who came with animals and seeds to make their homes in the new world and to take posses- sion of the land." "Even at the time of the Ameri- can Revolution there were not 13 but 19 British colonies in America, and the French, Dutch, Swedish, and Spanish colonies were occupy- ing the continent," Professor Mar- shall said. This changed viewpoint takes into consideration the occu- pation of American continents by the expansion of Europe. WASHINGTON, July 7.-(/P)-A national prohibition policy of leav- ing each private violator of the dry laws "to his own conscience and the forces of education" was enun- ciated last night by Prohibition Di- rector Woodcock. The federal dry chief, speaking over the Columbia Broadcasting system, asserted he believed such "real progress" had been made by his bureau during the past year that eventually it should attain abso- lutely its objective of wiping out those who deal in quantities of il- licit liquor. "The bureau ought eventually to apprehend every commercial vio- lator," he said. Woodcock said he could not an- swer satisfactorily questions as to the "extent the unlawful traffic has been stopped." The bureau has no means of estimating, he explained, the number of violators who are not caught. For the record of his first year in office, which ended July 1, the for- mer United States attorney in Bal- timore listed a total of 75,365 cases for prosecution in federal and state courts. Of these, he said, 58,173 cases were terminated in federal courts and convictions obtained in 50,334, with 29,372 jail sentences im- posed. In adition, he said, there were fines aggregating $5,497,566 togeth- er with $6,378 in permanent in- junctions granted and 8,245 auto- mobiles and 31,321 stills seized. HUN DREDS BATTE CALIFORNIA BLAZES Forest Fires Destroy Ranches, Towns, Produce; Damages Placed at $100,000. SAN FRANCISCO, July 7. ()- Flames left blackened wastes in more than a dozen different parts of California today as hundreds of weary fire-fighters continued ef- forts to subdue the blazes in heat- stricken hills and plains. Mountain towns, ranch houses, herds of cattle, stands of timber, ripened grain and valuable pasture fell before the onslaught of fire Monday and early today. A force of 700 men used every possible fire-fighting trick in an attempt to control a 25,000-acre blaze which swept up three sides of Mount Diablo, Contra Costa county. Early today damage was estimated by fire officials at $100,- 000. Several stands of timber and 500 head of cattle were destroyed. The fighters were attempting to keep the blaze, which at times burned on a 14-mile front, from Marsh creek canyon, on the west slope of the mountain, where doz- ens of summer homes and ranches are located. Because of a lack of demand dur- ing the early hours, the University golf course is to open at 6 o'clock on Saturday and Sunday and at 7 o'clock on all other days, it has been announced by R. O. Court- right, director of the course. The new schedule will go into effect Fri- day. The present schedule provides for a 5 o'clock opening on the two week end days and 5:30 on other days. It also provides for closing of the club house at 8:30 p. m., which is to be continued under the new schedule. Courtright is organizing a group for special instruction, the class to meet each Tuesday and Thursday at 4:30 o'clock, starting July 14. It will continue for three weeks. The fee will be $2.00, an amount set by the board in control of ath- letics. Excursionists Will See Ford Factories Today More than 130 students will take the second Summer Session excur- sion this afternoon, going to River Rouge by bus for an inspection of the Ford plant, Carlton F.

The excursionists will see the motor assembly plant, the final as- sembly line, the open hearth fur- naces, and the rolling mill.

COPELAND FAVORS HU1DSONW'ATERWAY Declares St. Lawrence Route Is Primarily One-Way; Appeals to Patriotism. ALBANY, N. Y., July 7. (P)-Sen- ator Royal S. Copeland, (former mayor of Ann Arbor), Democrat, " New York, addressed the one-day convention of the Great Lakes- Hudson Waterways association to- day, declaring the all-American wa- ter route offered greater possibili- ties for domestic trade than the proposed St. Lawrence waterway. He said the movement of middle. western wheat to Europe was a fac- tor scarcely to be considered in evaluating either route, as increased acreage in Canada, cheaper freight rates in the Dominion, and agree- ments with Great Britain had pre-' luded any advantage in competi- tion for the Liverpool market. Senator Copeland said he regard- ed the St. Lawrence route primarily a one-way route-a heavy and bulk cargo waterway, with little west- bound traffic possibilities. "The waterway to the sea should be built where it will guarantee the use of American carriers and Amer- ican ports. To build the St. Law-l rence canal is the first step toward, the destruction of our merchant marine. As I see it, no American patriot aware of the possibilities should think of such a thing as the promotion of the St. Lawrence ca- nal," he said. Senator Copeland said Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, Republican,, of Michigan, and Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Democrat, Montana, chief, advocates of the St. Lawrence wa- terway, advised him that they would support the Hudson River route if unreasonable and insur- mountable obstacles to the St. Law- rence project developed.
