FINLEY DECISION CALLED
VINDlCATION BY ETTlNGER

William L. Ettinger, City superintendent
of Schools, yesterday issued a statement
declaring that the decision of DR.. John II.
Finley State Commissioner OF Education,
sustained practically all the contentious
raised by him in his appeal from the by
laws adopted by the Board of Education.
DR.. Ettinger said he anticipated that
the Board of Education would Immediate
ly amend its bylaws and then proceed in
good faith to carry on the business or the
Board of Education in strict conformity
with the bylaws as thus amended" The
superintendent asserted such procedure
would do much to insure increased ef-
ficency in the conduct of the affairs OF
the school system and to restore morale
in the department that has been badly
impaired"
He expressed the hope that, although
Mayor Hylan might possibly misinterpret
the opinion" the Board of Education It
self would acquiescc in the decision OF
DR.. Finley and proceed on an impcrsonal
basis to conduct school affairs In accord
ance with the law as it has been inter-
preted by the State Commissioner.

Urges British and
U.S.. League as All
That Is Needed
Lord Glenconnor Believes "Under.
Standing Between Anglo-Saxon
Nations Sufficient.

Lord Glenconnor told q score of influen-
tial Americans gathered at luncheon yes
terday that in his opinion the only effec-
tive League of Nations would be IAN
understanding" and that merely between
Britain and the United States.
The luncheon was held at the Lawyers
Club by the Sulgrave Institution. which
has for its aim Angio-Saxon solidarity.
Lord Glenconnor comes to America as
representative Of the Anglo-American CON-
mittee cooperating with the Sulgrave In
stitution in the celebration next spring OF
the three hundredth anniversary of the
coming Of the Pilgrim Fathers.
''The liberty Of the Anglo-Saxon was OBJ.
tanned by no parchment; the union by nc
artificial bond" said Lord Glenconnor
us 1t not fact that the British Empire
is League Of Nations? You on this side
are a free and sovereign nation and so are
we. Is it necessary to have an agree
ment-a written, hard league Of agree.
ment-unless we are suspicious OF each
other? We are on the same road, and for
Gods sake let us stick to it,
Lord Glenconnor denied reports Of pro-
British propaganda in this country as
terminating from British sources. He said
he thought such propaganda unnecessary
here. No writer or lecturer, he said, had
been paid by the British government, and
the British lecturers had come here at the
invitation of American societies, which
may have paid them for the lectures.
Samuel Gompers, who spoke later, de-
cleared he considered Britain remiss in not
organizing propaganda in this country al
the time when the United States was
flooded with anti-British propaganda.
Lord Glenconnor proceeded to explain
the work OF the Anglo-American Com.
mittee, which he said was organizing edu-
cational propaganda for the Pilgrim ter
centenary and to point out the Importance
of Anglo-American good will; also to pro-
mote scholarships, an exchange of stu
dents through the Sulgrave Institution,
essay prizes. &c. AS evidence Of the tardi-
ness Of English universities in this re-
gard, he said, not one had established
courses in American history, and II was
the scheme Of the Anglo-American Com
mittee to see that this was done.
"As strong as Great Britain is, and as
strong as the United States is. neither is
strong enough alone to stand against pos
sible combinatiors," said Alton B. Parker
Colonel George w. Burleigh, chairman
of the Committee on International Hos
pitality, announced that the institution
would give luncheon February q to
Vice President Marshall and the British
and Dutch Ambassadors as part Of the
tercentenary programme.
