previous decision that the amendment was
valid

sufficient and it was aware that the oppo-
sition had had months In which to make out

The DILEMMA AT PENN

VIE trustees of the University Of Penn
ssslVania, who yesterday held their first
hieetinS this autumn, are confronted with n
proDiem replete with strange paradoxes.
i,'re is an institution of the highes It
academic standing, a dominant factor in the
intellectual progress not only of this COM
monwealth. but Of the nation. Good will il
the uniVersity's portion from n publc which
understands and respects an admirable rec
ora OF pnst and present achievement and
thiS sentiment receives concrete cxnrpssion
in matriCulation figures. which each venr
grow more impressive. In popularity, Old
rem. with its IL. 900 students. is surpossed
oy few similar institutions in the land. But
as an offset to this advancement there is n
dismal financial dilemma the settlement of
which is imperative.
Inc TWO remedies suggested represent
opposing principles of progress. Chnmpio,s
OF the favOrite American doctrine of mr. ivo 70
initiative have for some time urged n fsrol
policy embracing comprehensive Organized
drive for endowment funds. Pending thc
practical execution of such a scheme, how
ever. DIR. Finegan's program Of extending
the educational system Of this commonwealth
to include the University Of Pennsv'vania
and the University of Pittsburgh as institu
tions warrantng complete financial aid by
the state. somewhat after the fashion oe
state College. has aroused much thoughtful
interest
The triunivcrsity plan is ambitious, but.
OF course. its success would be primarily de-
pendent on the generosity and sympathetic
interest of the Legislature. If assurance
could be- given that monetary questions now
so embarrassing would no longer ObstruCt the
inherent vitality of the University, convcr;s
to the general proposition could pprhnps be
readily gained. Unfortunately. as with most
novelties. the proof of the value Of a pro-
gram lies in it's working out. And apart
from this condition. there il the feeling. Il
fanciful, at least sincere. that university
exclusively state supported dcteriorates ia
prestige.
Fortunately, it may be expected that de-
cision on the alternatives of state aid or
private sunnort will not be much longer de-
layed. 1f the latter course is adopted ii is
reasonable to believe that tho alumni and
other we'll wishers of the University will not
be lax. If the state scheme is favored, 1t
should be developed in n way far beyond
ordinary ventures Of this kind as display I'd
in other commonwcalths. The graduate
school Of medicine is Immediately in need of
81, 900 900. The new school OF fine arts,
most significant and stimulating departure.
is deserving Of the most liberal help. 1t is
needless to specify the numerous channels

INTERNATIONAL "SHAcKLES"

T1VEN IL the once effulgent Ponzi had ma
T. nipulated postal coupons as he said he
did, his term of aggrandizcment would have
been brief. The International Postal Union
Congress. assembled in Madrid, has def
nitely established international payments for
the transit Of mails on a gold dollar basis.
The complexities Of deprecated curren-
clos which have worked many injustices in
nostol affairs, cease henCefOrth TO operate.
Under the recent chaotic system 1t was, for
instance. possible for Americans who had
turned their national money into francs TO
.nnd n letter from France to this country
for one and seven tenths cents instead of at
the normal rate of five cents, since twenty
five confines Is no longer equal to the Ameri
can nickel. The stabili2ing effect Of the new
rnIing cannot fail to be beneficial to inter
national finances.
The agreement to permit the fixing of an
ircreased maximum rate for international
mail is made with the proysO that the
United States and other countries may re-
tain the present rates or fix their own II
these do not surpass the new maximum.
This arrangement is interesting for sew
oral reasons, not the least of which is the
illustration OF the obligation of this nation
to conform TO an international ruling. Sup.

FIX THE STREETS NOW

! WHATEVER else the budget contains
w when 1t is submitted to the Council this
. week. it must contain provisions for an ads-
quate amount for rcpaving and resurfacing
the streets.
There are two reasons for this. one politi-
cal and the other the bad condition of the
streets.
The streets were allowed to go with little
attention during the war. As a result they
are worn into ruts in some places and in
, others a small defect has grown into dan
gerous hole. If the owners Of vehicles are
