public, which would be subsequently
determined.
Asked what form of government Nor
way would adopt If the idea Of q
monarchy were abandoned M. Loeve-
land answered: I'VE shall have to
choose between three kinds of republic
first a monarchics! republic like
France, where the president is virtually
king, with a fixed term; second, an
absolute republic like that of the
United States, of which the president Is
autocratic in power and, third, a demo-
cratic republic like Switzerland. This
last satisfies us best and we shall un-
doubtedly adopt it."
Mr.. Loeveland read and approved the

MORAL PRINCIPLE LACKING
President of Columbia University
DIIates on Distinction Between
Legal and Ethical Code

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Caustic COM
ment on some modern business methods,
as revealed by recent and current In
vestigatlons of quasi-public financial In
stitutions, was made by President
Nicholas Murray Butler in his address
of welcome to the students at the open
ing of the college year at Columbia
university today.
Just now the American people are
receiving some painful lessons in prac-
teal ethics," he said. Put bluntly, the
situation which confronts Americans
today is due to lack of moral principle.
Right and wrong have given way to
the subtler distinction between legal
and illegal, or better, perhaps, between
honest law, honest and dishonest. This
new triumph of mind over morals is
bad enough itself, but when, in addition,
it's exponents secure material gain and
professional prosperity it becomes a
menace to our integrity as people"
