Borrowers From Europe

New Yor Jan. 14.-sharp exception
to the viewsSof Sir George Paish on pos
sibilities OF assistance for Europe by
the United States was taken by Eugene
Meyer, Jr., managing director of the
war finance corporation, at a luncheon
OF the American Manufacturers Export
association. His address followed one
by the British economist. who reiterated
his opinion that it was the duty of
America to give Europe enormous credits
to aid in rehabilitation. The penalty,
Sir George said, would be loss of agree
ment.
Sir George is understood to be seek
ing loans aggregating $4,000, 900 600

is desired at once by Great Britain.

allow himself to be candidate for high
office nor allow his friends to make an
effort in his behalf. unless there shall
come such indisputable evidence of sueli
spontaneous and universal popular
demand that it will oyerwhelm his
present resolution not to enter politics.
Mr.. Barnes, who is director of the
United States Wheat corporation. was
the principal speaker at the annual din
ner OF the National Wholesale Dry
goods association, Referring 10 reports
that Mr. Hoover might be a democratic
presidential candidate, Mr.. Barnes said:
AS a life long republican. l am re-

ceivable development could place him on
the democratic ticket, in spite of all
that has appeared in the recent press.

"Barkis Is WiIlin"
With his intense earnestness of con-
yiction and his sincerity to further the
social progress of our people by the
preservation of equal opportunity. it is
conceivable that the liberal minded vot
crs Of all parties may then insistently
demand such leadership as his for the
expression of rightful, social and poll
teal ideals.
The partisanship of Herbert Hoover
extends only to the insistence of the
maintenance of equality Of opportunity

Hoover View OF Socialism.
In reference to the various sociaistic
theories which have been advanced IN
the United States as cure for social
aud political ills. Mr.. Barnes read the
following statement by Mr.. Hoover, as
to his position:
THE whole of the various sorts Of
socialism are based on one primary CON
ception. and that is that the productivity
of the human being can be maintained
the selection of the particular human
for his most productive performance
can be made by some super-imposed
bureaucracy.
MY emphatic conclusion from all
those observations is. therefore. that
socialism is a philosophy of human ap-
plication in bankruptcy.
Duty Of Every American.
The paramount business OF every
American today is this business of find
ing a solution to these ideas. but this
solution must be found by Americans.

HENRY FORD PLANS
TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

Henry Ford has announced his
intention to open q technical col
| lcge in Detroit. 1t will be known
as the Ford Institute of Technol-
/ ogy, and its curriculum will EN-
brace those subjects which lead to
degrees in mechanical, electrical
and chemical engineering Out
standing, is Mr.. Ford's decision to
grant monetary scholarships to all
students; freshmen will receive
scholarships of approximately $40
week Rates for advanced stu
dents have not yet been an
nounced.
Like all Ford ventures, the Ford
institute presents its own deviation
from customary systems. The
school year is divided into two
parts, half of tho time being spent
in class, lecture rooms and labora-
tories. and half in the shops doing
actual work under actual working
conditions. This regimen Is 80 d.

The reason for this classic shop
and shop-to- class method is given
in the school announcement: 1.-THE
Ford Institute of Technology pro-
poses to give that education which
is life, directed by purpose. in or
der that there need be no period
of adjustment after graduation,
Theoretical work is supplemented
by experience in practice, and by
contact with actual conditions in

Miss Celia Leyden, sister of Leo
Leyden, auto racing driver, killed
Thursday night when an automo-
bile in which she was riding with

badly bruised but were not serious
ly injured.
Cade was able to crawl from
under the car and went to a near-
by house and telephoned to Gal
lup for assistance. Among those
who answered the call was Leo
Leyden, brother Of the two girls
pinned beneath the car. Until he
had lifted the lifelcss form of the
girl he did not know it was his sis

CADET IS REQUEST
LON c VACAT| ION
At XMAS t ME
N. NJ. M. |. Requested BY
Student Body to Have
Holiday Period From De-
Cember 18 to January 3.

Roswell, n. NJ, Dec. "a =
though the authorities at the New
Mexico Military institute had plan
ned 10 declare a vacation for the
Christmas holidays from December
20 to January 8, the student body
las asked that the vacation period
he extended from December Is to
January .. The cadets declar" that
If the extension is granted all reg
ulations will be most faithfully ad-
hered to and that the academic and
military standards will be In
creased by their work between the
time they return to the institute
after the Christmas holidays and
the summer vacation period. NO
official action has been taken with
reference to the petition, although
it is possible that the four days ad-
ditional time will be granted. The
officers of the institute feel that
the cadets have made a splendid
record for themselves in academic
work and on the campus since the
school opened in September and
are deserving of any additional
time that il may be proper to grant
without interference with the main
objects for which the boys are here.
The principal argument offered by
the cadets is that they will work
all the harder after the holidays
If they are given a few extra days
at home. If school is dismissed on
December go cadets will have am
pie opportunity to reach home in
time for Christmas. Cadets living
in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las
Vegas and elsewhere will be en-
abled to reach home on December
90, while those from the eastern
and middle west states will be
home on Christmas eve. The boys
from Mexico and other distant
places will either accept invitations
to visit with other cadets at their
homes during the holidays or re-
main in Roswell, where ample pro-
visions will be made for a merry
holiday time.
The cadets are all looking for
ward with eagerncss to the arrival
of the time when the cavalry unit
will be actually introduced. Prom |
ised by the government some |
ago, the cavalry unit is now
