The American Friends’ Service
Committee is planning to begin work
on child relief in Spain—entailing the
establishment and support of colonies
where the. children’s welfare can re-
ceive ‘attention.
The expense of one colony (15,600
Pesetas), at a normal exchange,
comes to about 2,000 dollars a month.
For foreigners, whose purchasing
power is increased by the present ex-
change,-the.cost is 625 dollars. , It is
precisely because we get such good
value for our money that we should
share generously in the cost of main-
taining these refuges. M. Sweeney,

Common Room, May 11.—The presi-
dent’s plan for reform of the Supreme
Court, desirable or not, at least should
relieve the minds of the American
people of the fear that the President
might assume any form of dictator-
ship. There can never be a dictator-
ship in America as long as the present
freedom of the press, of speech, and
of assembly remain.
The explosion of the Hindenburg,
in spite of the fact that it followed
an enviable record of thirty-five At-
lantic crossings, definitely proved the
impossibility of Germany’s continuing
to use hydrogen filled dirigibles. This
presents a difficulty, for although the
United States has completely aban-
doned the plan of using dirigibles in
warfare, it still retains a monopoly
on helium (which is the only possible
substitute for hydrogen, and which,
moreover, is absolutely non-explosive)
and maintains such a high price on
it that the cost of filling such a ship
as the ,Hindenburg will probably be
prohibitive.
