Steps toward meeting this need are being taken by _ Brookwood Labor College at Katonah, N. Y. Here forty-five men and women, chosen, and, for the most part, supported, by various national and inter- national labor organizations, are being frained to become professional leaders of labor. These students, who range froni twenty-one to.forty-five years of age, are chosen on a basis of their previous edu- cation, the outside reading they have done, and their reasons for coming to Brookwood. “Tt is not until after the first year (which offers courses in “How to study,” Social Economy, Conducting Meetings, Psychology, Philosophy, History of Edu-° cation, etc:) that actual labor problems . are - attacked,” pursued Mr. Muste, Courses in the History of the American Labor Movement, Trade Union adminis- tration, conduction of strikes, negotia- tions with employers, and the organiza- tion of labor all aim at developing a new attitude of Factual Approach to labor problems. : This, he said, is perhaps the biggest step forward for labor.

D. to 900 A. D. prove authentic, the whole early history of North America will have to be revised. These finds would show that there“were Europeans in America before the time of Columbus;. They would ex- plain why early Spanish explorers found the Indians using Christian signs and ceremonies, something that has puzzled scientists and historians a long time. Columbus’ .venture. would lose-something }; © of Ate daring, of its a courage, if it other voyage. What has to be determined is’ whether these objects are “crude and childish” forgeries, as some scientists have called them, or whether they are the actual rec- ords of a nation that lived before the earliest known tribe of Indians in the Southwest. There is so much disagree- ment among specialists that whether any- thing can be proved is doubtful. But whatever is determined about this find, the mere possibility of such a land as “Calalus” leaves wittus an exhilara- tion, The chance that our old ideas about the early history of this country may be superceded catches our interest. REVIEW OF THE LANTERN (Specially contributed by Professor G. G. King) The Lantern this year‘ shows a long list of Ets contributors, and an almost unbroken level e of attainment. This work is neat-handed, . with few ups and downs, with a surprising spontaneity. Perhaps the weakest place is the section of book-reviews which should either be more substantial or else be dropped. Perhaps the best piece is that by Rose H reprinted from the Summer School, hill has the suggestiveness, with the touch-and- go, of a Japanese thing. The poetry, espe- cially in the sonnets and shorter pieces, sug- gests that constant habit of verse as a med- which is so normal and delightful to things. Comedy, always harder, in : the prose goes better than in the verse. Less satisfatcory is the Essay in verse; part- ut, since they don’t know t -| ment of the Confederation Internationale u-|des Etudiants: The Open Road, Inc., 4702 er Woolworth bored ‘New: -¥ork sha ly because the heroic couple ts a form in- credibly difficult, and partly, if the sad truth must be said, because it needed more toil. Indeed, orfe criticigm to which the Lantern ‘| lies open is that nothing shows the marks of very hard work. It is all too easy. The other is, that it is too, conservative, not to say, reactionary. Very Georgian, perhaps, but why no free verse? Why nothing” to a Chinese air? Why, when imitating, not imi- tate Gertrude Stein? Why, for scene. and theme, not try something nearer. to a City Block? < The reviewer’s final state seems rather de- pressed ;‘the best of this Lantern is still that it does express @ free and wholesome im- pulse to write. And the level of merit and promise is so high as to deserve, what this reviewer undertook, a judgment by abso- lute: standards. OF INTEREST TO ' $TUDENTS GOING TO . EUROPE THIS SUMMER The official national student organiza- tions of Europe are preparing to offer of American students traveling abroad this summer. Ten programs are being arranged under the auspices of the Con- federation Internationale des Etudiants, which is a federation of national student organizations in charge of their joint in- ternational undertakings. They will be announced in this country shortly after Christmas. Co-opeérating agencies are the International Student Service (formerly European Student Relief) and the Ger- man National Union of Students, which is the principal student organization not included in the Confederation Interna- tionale des Etudiants. Over here, an advisory committee of educators is form- ing. e The plan is for small parties of Ameri- can students—not over twelve or fifteen in each group—to travel through ‘Europe with student guides, being received as they go by students, university authorities, statesmen, leading minds, distinguished hostesses, They will visit museums, pal- aces, cathedrals, factories, villages; but not as sightSeers. These journeys are to be for acquaintance with people, their customs, and their ideas, The scenery, the art, and the historic grandeur of Europe will be seen as the back-drop against which a living drama is enacted, Although they include features outside the scope of the regulation sightseeing tour, and. are more difficult to arrange, the. journeys will be less expensive. The European student organizations are con- nected in divers ways with their govern- ments and can secure, for their guests, rail reductions, visa rebates, etc.; and for the most part lodgings will be available in student buildings. - The initiative of this enterprise comes from Americans who want to open more doors to their countrymen traveling abroad. On the part of the. European students the motive of- co-operation is also patriotic; they see an opportunity to promote American understanding of their national .problems. | This preliminary annguacenient neces- sarily leaves much unsaid.

Manning, President Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia University, and John W. Davis, former Ambassador from the United,States to Great Britain. “In vigorous language the ~ speakers urged American adherence to the World Court. Bishop Manning prayed - that America might move forward and take her place in sharing the work of the world without delay. “‘From this great representative, gath- ering we send to the Senate of the United States the message that a small group of irreconcilables shall not be allowed to hold back America from the service that she owes the world,’ he declared, ‘that the jud ment and the conscience of our people are with-our President in this mat- ter and. that our participation. with the forty-eight other nations in the World “Bishop Manning read a message from President Coolidge commending the ‘gathering. Dr. Butler Sees Defiance. “President Butler was unsparing in his criticism of the ‘irreconcilables’ whom he attacked as ‘a very small group of the office-holding class, placed by acci- dent and legislative seniority in a position where custom permits them to play a very large part in the disposition of such questions’ and he charged them with ‘defying the will and betraying the interests of the American people.’ ““Mr. Davis joined with the. other speak- ers in praising the signing of the treaties. of Locarno. He appealed to all Ameri- cans, whether Democrats or Republicans, whether from the North or South or East or West, to follow the leadership of ‘the. President in demanding the prompt} adhesion of America to the Protocol of the World Court. He drew a picture of America as having been entrusted with many talentg, and concluded by asking, ‘And when the dread arbitrament shall come, what will America show for her talents, to the Lord of all the earth and the Judge of all the nations?” NEW STUDENT REPORTS RESULTS OF COLLEGE WORLD COURT POLL Every college and university in the coun- try was asked to vote on four proposals re- garding the World Court: 1. .The “Hughes- Harding-Coolidge Reservations.” 2. The “Harmony Peace Plan” of thirty leaders; 3. The “Borah Terms;” 4.° Against the Court. Many colleges preferred to vote straight “for” or “against” the Court and were separately tabulated.

In conclusion, he summed up. pis talk by defining Brookwood as a Cor- poration under the laws of New York State, “for’ the purpose of making Trade * *| Unionists more intelligent ands effective.” Taking a wider viéwpoint, he ended by saying: “The Workers’ Education Move- ment is part of a revolution in education itself.

N, J., Dec, 13,—The student delegates from nearly 250 colleges in the country who met here yesterday to form the National Students’ Federation have high hopes that it will give expression to the aspirations of young America and enable college students to act as a body on .nfatters closely affecting academic life, as well as to enable them to voice’ their opinions on national ‘and _ international affairs. They have a definite program which touches almost’ ‘every phase of college life, studies, sports, scholarships and social activities and hope to lay down ' general principles» which will guide the local student bodies in colleges to achieve their greatest effect, : Some of their plans were outlined today by Lewis Fox, Princeton, ’26, who was elected first president of the organization and who playéd the largest part in bring- ing about the collegiate World Court con- ference out of which the federation sprang. Despite a few unfortunate occur- rences, such as the dispute over the elec- tion of a young colored woman, Mabel | the Federation, as sketched by Mr. Fox, is to remove the causes of the growing antagonism between the student bodies type of college man, that a college, is made up of individuals: and that indi- viduality must be fostered. The vexed question of athletics will also be threshed out by the Federation, The students will discuss the problems of professionalism, of paid coaches, of inter- sectional games, and an attempt to*decide just what general principles should guide the eglleges in attempting to get the most out of athletics without over-emphasizing its importance, Hollaway, of Howard College, to the Executive Committee, the plan was haled enthusiastically. by the gathering. Want Peace with Professors. One*of*the more important purposes of and faculties, which havé brought about some disturbing encounters in the last .ew years, It is felt that such misunder- standings which arise between the fatul- ties and,the undergraduates are caused by lack of understanding on both sides, the inevitable conflict between youth and maturity, and Mr,‘ Fox believes that if the students, sticking to their guns but attempting to be fair, will but try to co- operate with the faculties and persuade the faculties to meet them half way, much unpleasantness may be avoided. ‘The Fed- eration intends, however, to bring within the control of the students everything To Investigate Scholarships. Closely connected with this is the sub- ject of scholarships, for many persons have felt that alumni scholarships, by which alumni send to college many men as assets to the college largely because of their athletic prowess, should be care- fully investigated. Just what the under- graduates can do about it they:do not yet know, but Mr. Fox said they hoped to that is not specifically a function of the make general recommendations which facult would help. ‘end the criticism of college é athletics. - Thé protection of the individuality of undergraduates is’ also ohe of the vital purposes of the Federation, They declare that the days have passed when any stu- dent who varied from the average one who lived in his books rather than on the campus, one who was radical in his ten- dencies, must fall under the displeasure of the average student-and be a social butt. They want to show that there iso’ one International scholarships, such as the Rhodes scholarships, will be another aim of the Federation, and they hope to es- tablish a system whereby students may spend a year abroad in Italy, Germany, France or England. The plan will differ from the Rhodes scholarship system in one important particular, for the year abroad will be spent during the junior | Year, so that the returning student may = bring back to his college or university and “Gifts for Everybody from Everywhere” Christmas Problems Solved!

These scholarships, it is also hoped, will go far toward develop- ing international friendships, and in time make more certain the establishment of world peace. Just what part the students should play in determining the university. curriculum will be made the subject of study and it-is hoped that the most agvanced meth-' ods of dealing with this question may be ‘adopted through the influence of the Fed- eration in colleges where interest in this subject by the students has been looked upon as meddlesome interferentée. Aims Outlined in Charter. The charter. of the Federation, the re- port which was made late last night and the adoption of which gave birth to this . new national student organization, ‘sets forth some of ‘these aims. It reads as follows: sg “We, the undersigned delegates of two hundred and forty-five institutions of higher education appointed to consider permanent organization at the Intercol- legiate World Court Conference at Princeton December 11, 1925, hereby adopt the following articles of a working - agreement for the formation of a National Student Federation. We would achieve’ a spirit of unity among students of the United States to give consideration to questions affecting student interests; de- velop an intelligent student. Opinion on questions of national importance; foster understanding among students of the world in furtherance of an.enduring world peace.

Dwight §. Mallon, Yale University, made this annotation; “Signing not as a representative of Yale, but as an indi- vidual, with the provision that Yale may officially approve these articles when the student councilgor some other official body shall so desire.” *¥ The othef signers were: .

We hope to copy the model of the circular sent out by the Music De- partment for its season’s concert series with a detachable slip for ordering: tickets. “Icebound,” said Miss Morse, “was a valu- able piece of work for its training in char- acter acting; but we hope to choose the next play with finer literary quality in mind. | This Icebound certainly lacked. In last year’s production of Sheridan’s School for | Scandal, the Committee realized the advice of many authorities on the theatre, like the late William Archer, who recommended Sheridan for its literary value. A costume play for the spring would be interesting. The. Committee -is looking for a play now which will give both actors and audience pleasure and worthwhile experience. .“To the graduate students. we -offer~an eager invitation to try out and work with us. The pleasure of having a graduate stu- dent in the cast of Jcebound was a great help to us. We badly need their talent and assistance. We look forward to seeing more of them like Miss Bell, who will help Var- sity Dramatics. And if a grad can take an important part and keep up her work, certainly it proves that we“undergraduates can! “Varsity Dramatics is one of the most sig- ‘nificant experiments, significant for intellec- tual and practical education and student co- operation, that has ever been tried in college. The Bryn Mawr Theatre will ‘soon have concrete form in the Students’ Building. Let us give it our most intelligent and energetic effort.” SENATOR PEPPER GIVES HIS VIEWS ON THE WORLD COURT You have asked me to discuss the World Court and to give my reasons for advocat- ing the adherence of the United States. I _ {am glad to comply with your request. When the world war broke out the Hague Tribunal had been in existence for some ‘years, Under the Hague Conven- 4 tion, to which the United States is a party, a panel of judges had been constituted— some 125 in all—men of learning and probity, ready. to be drafted by disputing nations for the peaceful settlement of their disputes. Had the Emperor of Austria in the first instance, and, later had both the Kaiser and the Allies desired peaceful settlement the Tribunal at the Hague was available. As it was, Serbia’s proposal. of submission was ignored gpnd presently the invading hosts thundered through Belgium. When the Peace Conference, so called, convened at Versailles, and the Covenant of the League of Nations was framed, a proposal was made to supplement the Hague Tribunal by creating a permanent Court, composed not of a few judges drawn from a large panel, but of a fixed qumber of judges giving their whole time ‘ TELEPHONE: LOCUST 8239 * MRS.

The Treaty (known as the Treaty of December 16, 1920), has been signed by some 48 nations, The United States though not a member of the League, is eligible to sign because we are mentioned in the Annex. | The Statute of the Court (a part of the treaty) provides for a permanent court of 11 advisory judges and four deputy judges. It has a defined jurisdiction and procedure. Its judges are elected by votes of'the Council and Assembly of the League of Nations. The salaries and pensions of the judges and ofall the Court officers and all the expenses of the Court are paid out of the treasury of the League of Nations. The Court decides such international disputes of a legal nature as the disputants choose to submit to it. It also renders advisory opinions 'to the League of Nations on current in- ternational questions which the disputants have not submitted to the Court. The Court has been functioning since 1922. It is composed: of able and high- minded men, Not the least able and high- minded is our fellow citizen, John Bassett Moore. The Court has ably dealt with the few cases which disputants have sub- mitted to it and has rendered less than a score of advisory opinions. A few im- portant international questions suitable for submission ‘to the Court have arisen in Europe which the @arties have not seen fit to submit. But most of the questions which threaten the peace of the world are net suitable for such submission, because they are not legal but political in their nature. The most ardent advocate of the Court would hardly contend that the Court has as yet proved to be an effective agency for peace. On the other hand, no plished.: fair-minded person will deny that the very existefice of the Céurt~serves to keep be- _| fore the world the ideal‘ef justice judicially administered. “Few will deny that this ideal should be preserved and cherished as essential to civilization. The United States is not a member of the League of ‘Nations and neyer will be- come a member as long as the covenant imposes upon its signatories the five definite obligations which, in our judg- ment, are inconsistent with American in- dtpendence. This refusal of the League membership on our part was adversely criticized a few years ago by the most thoughtful minds in Great Britain. Today British sentiment is changing and there is a significant demand for a repudiation by Great Britain of the impossible. League commitments which we . declined but which she was unwise enough to assume. The question for us is whether we desire to join in the support of this Permanent Court provided we can do so without as- suming League liability. If this question is answered affimatively a subordinate question concerns the method by which adherence on these terms carf be accom- President Harding and President Cool- idge have unhesitatingly answered these questions by recommending adherence and they have outlined to the Senate a plan of adherence designed. to insure American Independence of action. The method proposed involves the as- sent of all the signatures to modification of the treaty. This amendment would create for the United States a right to vote for judges and would provide that in signing’ the treaty, the United States should not become subject to any of the obligations created by the Covenant: Such a modification would amply safe-guard the interests of the United States. It would not, however, accomplish that dis- association of the Court from the League which I personally believe would’ tend and thereby increase its credit and use- fulness.

Tia BLIC and to Cobh, Plym- Southampton, Bremen. 45 Broadway If I could have my own way, I should make American adherence depend upon complete disassociation. But I cannot, and in matters of divided opinion it is a wise man who makes the best terms he can get. Public opinion cannot be inter- ested in the refinements of the question. It is either adherence. to the Court not- withstanding its connection or it is no ad- herence at all. On this issue I am for adherence, & Just what form the ‘amendment will take-both as to voting and as to advisory opinions it is impossible to say. The resolution of adherence must be the prod- uct of many minds. It ‘is yet to be framed. I hope, however, that the reso- lution will read into the Statute of the Court three provisions: first, that the Court itself, in its own uncontrolled discretion, shall decide when it will and when it will.not render advisory opinions; second, that all advisory opinions shall be public acts and never rendered in secret; and, third, that no advisory opinion shall be rendered on any question affecting the “United States unless with our consent. The greatest danger in connection with adherence is not, as it seems to me our entanglement in League liability but the inevitable disappointment of these many good people who picture the Court as a bulwatk against all war. Such disappoint- ment tends to retard progress toward world peace, because a wave of false ideal- ism, like unreal reform, is always followed by materialistic reaction, The League has proved powerless even to check war—let alone prevent it. “What’s the use?” people say and lapse into scepticism, But there is use in each forward step, even if it is a short one. If we take enough such steps, peradventure we shall wake. up some morning and find that we have made real progress, . (George Wharton Pepper; LL. D., D. C.
