preventing rayages by these enemies
except keeping all records in dust

THE CALDER Of

Oxford Official Criticises
Qualifications of Men Sent
to That University.

criticism Of the caliber Of students

Rhodes scholarships was delivered to-
day by DIR. George r. Parkin of Ok
ford. executive secretary Of the
Rhodes scholarship trust. before the
National Association of State Univer-
stiles. which began its seventeenth
annual sessio here today.
DR.. Parkin divided the students
sent to Oxford from the United States
into three classes The first third, he
said. we're high grade students: the
second third were fair. while the other
third. well, 1t is n mystery to the
Oxford faculty how they ever got
there" DR.. Parkin said that merit
should be the determining factor in
awarding the Rhodes scholarships.
Well rounded students were desired.
he declared, regardless of financial or
social standing. He told the associa-
culture of the world. and that he
could not understand the lack Of in
terest ny Americans in the opportu-
nifty opened up by the Rhodes scheme.
He said that Oxford ruled England,
and that at least one-half Of every
cabinet formed In the last 100 years
had been oxford men.

~ PUBLICITY
LAW ATTACKED
Supreme Court Will Pass
Upon Statute Requiring
Statements Published.

Washington, Nov. 19.--The opening
attack upon the constitutionality of
the new law requiring newspapers to
publish statements showing circula-
ton, lists of their officers, stockhold-
ers. as we'll rs to label paid political
articles as advertisements, was made
today before the supreme court Of the
United States in Il printed brief filed
by Robert c. Morris and G. B. Plante
on behalf Of the Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin of New
York. The case is set for argument
orally on December 2.
The attorneys for the newspaper
contend principally that the sections
violate the constitutional liberty of
the $4,000 newspapers. magazines and
periodicals published throughout the
United States. Unlike public service
corporations, the newspapers, the at
torneys claim. possess no elements
which give the government right to
regulate their business. except in SO
welfare is concerned.
Absolutely no authority can be
found for a contention that the pro-
visions complained Of in this act were
enacted for the public benefit" de-
clare the attorneys. Neither the
government nor the. public at large
can be benefited by the knowledge of
the private business affairs and the
financial condition Of the owner Of q
newspaper. On the other hand the
provisions objected to in the act are
more than unreasonable In their de-
mands upon the owner Of a newspa-
per-they are perniciously inquisito-
RIAL. They strike down private rights
and invade personal freedom and de-
stroy private property IN that they
ruin the publication II It refuses to
meet their arbitrary demands, for ruin
would surely follow the denial Of the
privileges of the mail.
I'm the act individual injury is in
ficted without any corresponding ben
eft to society. II the corporation is
doing business upon borrowed money
for which 1t has issued its notes or
other obligations. 1t must publish to
the world the holders Of such obliga-
tions to the annoyance of such lenders
and the endangering Of its credit. It
must show the vulnerable spots in its
financial armor to the benefit Of its
competitors and enemies. Banks and
other large financial institutions will
refuse to loan 1t money for fear that
they will be held out and advertised
as supporting or controlling it's edi-
torial or political policy. Nor are
these fanciful objections. To the bus
mess man they are real and alarm
ing.'
The attorneys warn lawyers, doc
tors and other professional men that
II this act is upheld. congress may
equally require them to publish and
disclose the names Of their clients.
