STUDENT INTELLECT
/. |SAT LOW EBB, SAYS
COLLEGE CHANCELLOR
Work Not as Good as Previous
Years; Careful Watch Kept
to Maintain Standard.

st Louis, Mo-, Dec. 10.-The average
intelligence Of college students is lower
than that which prevailed years ago,
according to the annual report of DR..
Frederick A. Hall, chancellor of Wash
ington university
This conclusion, the report explains,
comedies with that of authorities in
other educational institutions, as as
certained through correspondence. The
number of college students has been in
creasng steadily, the report states.
''If the present growth OF numbers is
indicative of what may be expected in
the near future" continues the report,
'the colleges will have to watch care
fully in order to prevent turning out a
lower type of graduate than that which
has characterized colleges hitherto.
1T is only fair to say that, so far as
can learn from the faculty, it is thought
that the work OF the student body has
not this year been as good as that OF
previous Wars: that contrary to the
peoples expectations that the young
would be more purposeful and earnest by
reason of war experience, they seem to
he less inclined TO serious labor, and
that an unusual proportion of students
had to be dropped because of the in
ferior quality of their work
The report asserts that until two
years ago the proportional increase by
women in the college section of the
university was gaining notably in the
proportional increase in the number OF
men, but that in the last two years the
proportional increase by men has been
greater Men, the report adds, usually
are reluctant to continue in classes In
which they are outnumbered by women

Washington, Dec 10.-The campaign
against the high cost of living, efforts to
break up trusts and combinations in re
straint of trade, and the government s
fight on radicalsm are reviewed by At
torney General Palmer in his annual re-
port sent today to congress.
In a discussion of the radical problem,
Mr.. Palmer discloses that the depart
ment of justice has developed a card in
dex system, containing more than 200
600 cards giving detailed data on the &C
tivities Of ultra radicals and their organ
izations.
Ninety percent of the communist and
anarchistic agitation during the last year
the attorney general says, is traceable
to aliens This agitation, he adds, is not
confined to the so-called economic evils"
but has been directed also toward the
stirring up of racial prejudice. One of
the fertile fields, he says, is among the
negroes who "have been appealed to di-
rectly for support in the movement to
overthrow the government Of the United
States"
Foreign Language Press.
The foreign language press has been
particularly noticeable for its strong,
ultra radical leanings," the attorney gen
eral says.
The results Of the January raids on
the Communist and Communist Labor
party meetings, Mr. Palmer says, caused
marked temporary cessation in radi-
cal activities here. Meetings of the com
munist and anarchistic groups were sus-
pended and were followed later BY the
declaration Of the American delegate to
the third internationale at Amsterdam
that the January raids had destroyed the
hopes Of the communists in America.

ferences by seeking the advice of Charles

eral hours was not revealed, for after
wards Mr.. Harding maintained silence

ton building. Mr.. Hughes has been

Success Of Project Is
Most Momentous Since

Problems Should Be Left
to Initiative of Man to
Be Finally Solved.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-Organiza-
ton of a corporation to finance
foreign trade, to be backed by
bankers, manufacturers and
merchants was indorsed Friday
by prominent speakers before a
conference under auspices OF the
American Bankers association.
The proposed corporation would be
formed under the Edge law with capital
of S100,000,0O0 available to American
producers as cash payment for their
goods on which foreign buyers would pc
unable to pay cash.
Foreign Trade Essential.
This foreign trade, speakers said, was
necessary to the commercial progress
of the United States and some method OF
financing foreign trade must be worked
out to enable American manufacturers
to take their places in world trade.
Herbert Hoover, speaking before the
afternoon session, declared that II the
project were successful, Fridays confer
ence would have been the most moment
GUS since the armistice.
eve must face the issue that these
economic ills arise from the vicious eco
nornic circles that can be broken in one
way only and that by Che establishment
of credits abroad" he said.
Solved by Business.
Mr.. Hoover declared that present
problems should be solved by the pro-
cesses of business and the individual lnl-
tiative of man rather than by the gov
ernment.
William G. Redfield, former secretary
of commerce, urged a world wide trade
development, declaring that America was
vet in the infancy of her export trade.
He asserted that the tremendous pull
of English capital is operating abroad
in favor of English industry"
.There is no limit to the world that
opens before u.s. he said, ''if we have
got the vision and the courage TO put
American money into American owned.
American run and American controlled
industries and institutions all around
the globe"
Farmers Viewpoint Given.
The farmers viewpoint was explained
by J. Il. Howard, president of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau federation, who said
that if the proposed corporation would
provide market for farmers products
it would have their backing.
Mr. Howard maintained that for the
last four or five years the farmers had
VI not prospered as has business. The
prosperity of this country, which is not
so very promising WILL not again be II
full swing until buying power Of the
farmer is restored" he said.

100000 ULTRA RADICAL
NAMES FILED; FOREIGN
PRESS SPREADS UNREST
Communist and Anarchist Groups Cease Activities
After January Raids; Hopes Destroyed,
Saws Internationale Delegate

Mr.. Palmer recites the legislative pro-
gram laid before congress at its last ses-
sion in which he said existing laws did
not permit the government to carry on
the sort of prosecution required in the
case of some of the radical groups, not
ably the Industrial Workers Of the
World whose activities the department
has been unable to touch in some in
stances.
Turning to law enforcement activities,
the attorney general says the govern
ment collected approximately 81, 2,oeo
in fines and judgments in the last year.
Twenty eight antitrust cases are
pending in the various district courts
over the country and the supreme court
of the United States.
80 Gougers Fined.
Mr.. Palmer explains that the depart
ment's work, especially in connection
with its drive on profiteers, has beer
handicapped by an insufficient number
of attorneys, auditors, accountants and
similar employees. The inadequate mum
Der, be continues was pitted against higl
priced talent of the big industries ant
corporations, but he adds that the worl
Of the departments staff was commend
able.
Delay in the completion by the depart.
ment of the cantonment investigation, or
dered by congress, was explained like
wise by the inadequacy of the inquisi-
torial force.
Mr. Palmer makes numerous recon-
mendations for changes in laws; most
of which have been sought for severa
years previously by his predecessors.
Mr.. Palmer also recommends virtually
a general increase in the salaries OF
United States attorneys and marshals.
