MA LICIOUS SHYLOCK
The latest prime example of ad-
ult stupidity is the action taken by
a Syracuse interdenominational
group in petitioning the Board of
Education of that city to remove
"The Merchant of Venice" from
school reading lists, "because Shy-
lo'^k presents an unfair and malic-
ious concept of the Jews."
While Shylock would undoubted-
ly plead guilty to the charge of be-
ing a malicious Jew, and hile an
unguided young student might pos-
sibly form unfair racial conclusions
from a reading of "The Merchant
of Venice," it is nevertheless ut-
terly absurd in this day of so-called
enl.ghtenment that one of the
world's greatest literary ma ster-
pieces should be banned on the
grounds of being racially objection-
able. To shield the adoles';ent mind
from cheap and salacious contern-
porary literature is one thing but
i': brand a dramatic gern as har'i;-
rf l because a fiction character pre-
sents a "malicious concepc' of a
ce.s tn race is ridiculously short-
signted.
We should like to ask the "Good-
will" committee of Syracuse if a
cross-eyed Frenchman should be
put away lest he distort the young
mind into believing that the French
are all cock-eyed; if a stuttering
Englishman should be decapitated
so that his defect will not present
an evil concept of the British; or
if the existence of the American
gangsters should be denied in or-
der to prevent misconceptions of
typical Americans. We should also
like to ask why the commit gee has
overlooked Iago, an Italian who is
one of fiction's greatest villains;
and why Aaron does not present
an evil concept of the Moors. Both
are in Shakespeare; both could be
as thoroughly misinterpreted as
Shylock is sometimes misinterpret-
ed.
Although it is plain that the mor-
atorium on the war debt is "good
business" for France, as it is for
the United States and the rest of
the world, there is nevertheless rea-
son to be appreciative of the cour-
teous tone and obviously willing
attitude of the French statesmen
during the recent negotiations. For
the United States the advantages
of the moratorium were so very,
clear that no American hesitated
very long before aproving it. In
our case the proposal was a strict-
ly economic measure which the
President, with a foresight which
will command admiration in in-
.reasing measure, refused to en-
tangle with political considera_-
dions.
When France was first confronted
with the proposal, however, it was
very natural that the first thoughts
which came to mind were of a po-
_itical nature, dating much farther
oack than the beginning of the
current depression. Not without
reason do the French fear their
neighbors to the north. Nor can
one be surprised that there are
Frenchmen who are by no means
anxious to see a strong Germany.
It is therefore easy to see that
the French government owed it to
the French people to be at least
very careful in approving the Hoo-
ver proposal. Although the world
now knows that most Frenchmen
desire a healthy Germany, there
were undoubtedly sections of opin-
un which would have witnessed a
German chaos without shedding too
many tears. The French govern-
menu had to take such opinion in-
co account. It had, however, to con-
sider whether it could afford to
regard the President's proposal as
an isolated economic measure, or
whether it had to use it as a de-
vice for the achievement of fur-
ther political concessions from the
Reich.
The President desired the mora-
torium to go into effect without po-
litical entanglements, and to this
the French have yielded. Much as
this commands the admiration of
Americans for Mr. Hoover, it must
also arouse satisfaction at the co-
operation of the French. - There
were times during the recent nego-
tiations when the temptation to re-
criminate and impugn motives was
strong. With a few exceptions the
tone of American comment on the
French position has been free from
those adjectives which so effect-
ively poison public opinion. Now
that the desired end has been so
happily achieved, it is well to real-
ize that in diplomacy the effort to
understand is always more produc-
tive than the instinct to pass moral
judgments.

Not long ago we expressed our
opinion of history debunkers who
dwell at lengthupon the evil char-
acteristics of our national heroes
to the detriment of their good qual-
ities, and we shall defend that
opinion to the last ditch; but for
censors who complain that certain
immortal characters in dramatic
fiction are no longer fit to be
known, we have the utmost con-
tempt.
If the Board of Education in
Syracuse is wise it will thank the
"Goodwill" committee for its un-
conscious hittt that something is
radically wrong with the Syracuse
system of teaching Shakespeare. If
teachers have not the ability or in-
clination to straighten out posisble
"malicious concepts" arising in the
student's mind from a study of lit-
erary gems, then some action
should be taken to bar the teachers,
not the books.
PROSPERITY NOTE
Better than all the optimistic in-
terviews on "rosy business skies,"
statements about "the dawn of a
new era," and opinions advanced
by Tom, Dick and Harry on the
everlasting question of depression,
is the report of the Treasury de-
partment, issued yesterday. From
it we find that the per capita cir-
culation of money in the United
States increased ninety cents last
month and $1.81 during the fiscal
year. Here is concrete evidence
that the public is buying more,
hoa.rding .less; and here we are
given a glimpse of a national norm
by which we can judge conditions.

(Daily Illini)
What is to be done about the
hitch hiker? This question is again.
before the public eye, now that the
state of Connecticut has put into
effect a law which provides penal-
ties for people who stand by the
roadside and beg rides of passing
motorists.
The hitch hiker problem is one
which directly concerns many col-
lege men, and there are some, nog
doubt, who find in this practice one
of the principal means of getting to
and from their homes at vacation
periods-but, beyond question, the
hitch hiker is a grade-A nuisance,
He toils not, neither does he spin;
and yet he rides from one end of
the country to the other on some-
body else's gasoline and oil and
tires- and now, and then he turns
out to be an actual highway rob-
ber to boot, which many a motor-
ist has learned at his cost.
Obviously, anything that will
abate this nuisance will be welcome
to most motorists. And right here
in the Middle West, students who
are habitual hitch hikers can testi-
fy that rides are no longer as plen-
tiful nor as easily obtained as was
formerly the case. College students,
or persons like college students, are
about the only ones left that the
average motorist is willing to trust.
And then often the pennant-be-
decked Gladstone--emblem of the
college hiker-is merely a sham,
and the motorist is literally "taken
for a ride" in his own machine.
Yes, hitch hiking has its evils.
And yet-it seems too bad to leg-
islate against it. After all, there
is something democratic about the
practice. The fact that it can and
does flourish to such an extent. in
America indicates that Americans,
after all, are still fairly open-heart-
