Brown university is seriously con-
sidering the acceptance of the one-year
freshman rule. Practically every ma
jor college and university in the coun-
try observes the rule. For years the
enrolment at Brown did not exceed
900, which made the freshmen rule
impractical, if Brown hoped to make a
good showing. This year the enroll
ment has reached 1900.

One Other Sore Spot.

III ~ the DEBATE on the COLOMBIAN treaty, Scna-
tor MeCumber stated that while opposed to
it on principle he would vote for it an ad-
minstration measure. He said his vote was based
upon complete confidence in President Harding;
that he believed the President had Colombia's
pledge OF economic advantages which would be of
great value to this country; that while these were
not expressed in the treaty he was confident the
President would them and that his vote was
given that basis for the best interests of his
country.
Probably what Senator McCumber so frankly
stated, was the motive which changed many other
votes. 1t in fact a concession that there may
be time when it is wiser to pay international
blaekmail than to perpetuate the enmty of another
country; that what is "backmail' on the surface
may be quid pro quo for certain commercial and
investment advantages which worth the money.
1t may also have been recognition that the
false pride, the supersensitiveness of the Latin
Americans. may make it impossible for their gov
eminent to openly put in the bond what it is will
ing to grant in exchange for salves to wounded
dignity. to certain recognition. The
Iatin-American lacks the Anglo-Saxon directness,
common-sense way of dealing, and frankness in
admitting wrongs mistakes. He wants his nnedi-
cine sugar-coated for public display.
With Colombia disposed of, Mexico alone re-
mains as running sore in inter-American
relations Possibly the same concession which Mr.
McCumber believes to have been made to Colombia
may be granted Mexico. If the pledged word, put
in writing, maybe, but not published, has indeed
been taken from that government like arrange
unent may be made with Obregon. The permanency
of his government is apparently largely dependent
upon its recognition, opening the way to financial
aid
1t has been reported that he, too, is willing to
make agreements for the future, beyond what he
considers safe 10 proclaim in advance to his people
He fears these-if known-would give the appear
of having bought recognition at the expense oi
Mexico; that he had come hat in hand to humby
beg and purchase, instead of gaining as an equal
He fears, according to reports, that this would be
used against him by his enemies, and Mexican am
bition always supplies goodly crop, to cause him
trouble, if oust him
If this is the situation President Harding and
Secretary Hughes will know it. If they act upon it,
in the Colombian situation, no one need fear but
that they have abundant assurances for the
future The fact is that the United States is more
necessary any of the Southern governments than
it is to us. There always financial economic
and commercial ways to enforce fair play and the
fuihllment Of pledges, if there those in control
OF affairs who know how to them and have
that consistent hrmness which should always go
with the square deal.

Price Control.

THE Federal Trade Commission in its report to
i President Harding prices, refers to
one distribution evil which was common during
last year and reached its climax in sugar. This
was kiting shipments around among circles of
brokers. When sugar was 80 cents pound retail
it infrequent that cents and more of this
was represented in commissions and freghts
The peculiar Federal ruling was made that a
brokers' commission should not exceed cent a
pound, but no limit put the number who
could handle the same shipment. The result
bills of lading often to the wholesalers with
as many seven to- nine transfers attached. These
alone represented that many cents added to the
price, and in addition the freight charges
Where retailers able to cut the prevailing
price, it was through getting moro direct consign-
ment The strange thing that in making this
rule, the authorities did not limit the number of
brokers who could handle single consignment to
not to exceed two. That this not done, cost
the American householders enormous amount
and when the break came many brokers lost much
of their profits from these manpulations through
large holdings at peak prices.
The Trade Commission says this evil has disap-
peared. This is not propitious time for its op-
eration nor is there Just commodity amen
able to such methods. But the brokers have
tainly learned how and it is fascinating game
if the opportunity should to put it in action
again.
The Commission refers to other artificial condi-
tions which affect prices Some of these are at
times wholesome and at times harmful Like so
many trade customs they have their good and bad
features. Which is which depends very largely
upon occasion we'll upon individual or group
judgment. 1t is unfortunate that price ever has to
depend upon this, and yet there is always on the
other side of the balance the experience in results
of wholly uncontrolled supply and demand with
unrestraned competition leading to price cutting as
short road to monopoly to that nature Of
control.

Wastebasket Lobbies.

XyIHILE Senator La Toilette is out with his lam
w tern shedding its light upon lobbies and
lobbyists, he should not omit the 'malbags of the
newspaper offices. If permitted to search their
clusiveness, he would find much food to feed fat
that ancient grudge he bears these promoters of
national welfare, and incidental self-nterest.
The informative character of the literature to
be found in those bags is full of human interest
not to say human nature 1t is all for the good OF
this great people who doomed to the "demni
ton bow-wows" unless certain things are done,
not DONE certain legislation passed, not passed
There is usually touching reference to how the
and how this country is to retain its
independence, that noble boys shall not have
died in vain.
The ruin knocking at the door Of certain indus
tries, classes, institutions foundations what not
heretofore famed for their self-sacrihce, is not
omitted from the picture. 1t is even most strk-
ingly in evidence in the heavy linen letter paper
used, and the torn-edged pamphlets, under another
cover" with high class examples of the printers
art. No newspaper sanctum fails to notice and be
impressed with the fact that it is in the very pres
ence of those who have seen better days, now vic
Tins of patriotic effort.
The Senator has dug up and sprung upon
unsuspecting people that here in Washington, the
Capital of the Nation, there is Labor Temple,
beautiful building indicating that labor is appreci-
ative of art; that the federated Chambers of Com
mefce have extensive headquarters representing all
the business interests Of the country; that the Or
ganzed farmers who furnish the peoples food, have
whole floor of a modest hotel; that here are ma
tional headquarters of women's organizations, of
chdren's welfare movements, of those devoted to
saving the folks from themselves in many ways, of
manufacturers, of fraternal orders and of pretty
nearly every conceivable interest, movement, ac-
tivity and organized effort
And up the hill at end of Pennsylvania
avenue in the most beautiful building in the world
is the earths greatest political organization with 531
members, each one lobbying to hold his job Yet it
is seldom that of them, any of the
other multiplicity of organizations, graces the office
of newspaper with his or her presence-outside of
the home city-to influence the judgment of the
supposed, only, and supreme moulders of public
opinion and dictators of political fortunes.
While seeking to relieve himself from undue
influence, and to his confreres from corrupting
temptation, could not the Senator do something to
relieve the editorial wastebaskets from dyspeptic
effects of overfeeding? Could he not at least sup
ply them with better balanced ration, with more
vitamines, whatever they may be?

Credit and Reparation.

- RANTING that the devastated countries of
II Europe cannot recuperate unless Germany
IS permitted to recover, it must also be admitted
that Germany cannot recover until the devast-
atcd countries have been restored or credit
is supplied to enable them to be restored This
second condition is shown by the fact that Is per
cent OF Germanys prewar export trade went to
ncghborng states and to 70 per cent of her total
imports came from them. SNty-fve per cent of her
aggregate foreign trade with Europe
In order to the credit necessary to break
this vicious circle it is essential according to Sir
George Paish to obtain from the German people "a
willing statement of the to be paid for repara-
tion, for without such willingness it will be quite
impossible to raise the credit upon which the
restoration OF Europe and the recovery of trade and
Of commerce now so entirely depend"
The well-known British economist believes that
the Germans realize that for their selfinterest it is
necessary for them to do everything possible to
store the purchasing power of their former GUS
TONER'S 1t is obvious that Germany cannot make
reparation until Europe is restored, since she cannot
sell goods with which to pay it until her customers
are able to buy them. All she can do now is to
promise reparation.
At the present time Germany is unable to sell
enough to enable her to purchase necessary food
and raw materials, but soon as these former Gus
toners secure credit this condition will be changed
and Germany will be able to sell not only enough
for her needs but to create surplus for repara-
ton. The important thing, therefore is the creation
OF credit
Sir George argues that Europe's power to raise
credit is practically exhausted and that the only
security which is still available is "the sum which
Germany willingly agrees to pay for reparation In
view OF this he believes that if the sum agreed
rpon sufficiently moderate to render its pay
ment practically certain, those who in posi-
ton to grant credit would more readily grant it
rnder such conditions
According to him the demands Of the entente
powers formulated at the Paris conference are gen.
orally regarded as representing more than Germany

SUN RADIATION AFFECTS
EARTH TEMPERATURES.

When the radiation Of the sun be-
comes less there Is a drop in ter
restrial temperatures, Is one of the
conclusions from the work on solar
radiation that the Smithsonian In
stitution has been doing for the
past twenty years. DR.. c. G. Abbot,
director Of the Smithsonian Astro-
physical Observatory. told the
Washington Academy Of Sciences at
its meeting last night a. the Cos
mos Club.
AS a result Of extensive obser-
vztions initiated here and that have
been conducted at seven different
parts OF the glode over a range Of
years. the fact that the suns heat
changes from time to time has been
confirmed, DR.. Abbot said.
We have found a variation in the
distribution Of the radiation over
the suns disc attending changes in
solar radiation. The suns center is
brighter than its edges. We find
that the contrast OF center to edge
changes from day to day and from
year to year" he declared These
two-fold changes run in opposite
senses with respect to increased
solar radiation. and seem TO indicate
that cause OF long period variations
is the hotter sun attending in
creased circulation at sun-spot max
imum. while short-interysl changes
srecaused by changes in trsnspSr-
ency OF the suns outer layer"
DIR. Abbot described the two solar
observation stations in Chile and
Arizona. The work that was for
merly done on Mount Wilson has
been transferred to Mount Hsrqua
HslA, AriE. This station is located
on a mountain at an elevation Of
$500 feet. 1t is sixteen miles to
the nearest town. Hitherto COM
munication has been had with the
town by signaling in the Morse code
with lights at night and by sun
light by day. II is hoped soon TO
equip both stations with wireless
telephone outfits.
The Chilean station, located at
Cslsms, supposedly in the land Of
no clouds. proved u disappointment
because Of overcast skies. This sta
tion WAS removed to q mountain
called MonteEums, about ten miles
farther south, where the apparatus
at the new station is located in q
tunnel driven some forty feet bscE
into the solid rock Of the mountain.
The observers live in some build
ings 200 or 900 feet lower down in
a rsvine which can be reached by
auto from the city of Cslsms in a
! nifty minute run. There is sbso-
lutely no vegetation in this region.
no insects, birds or beasts. Rain
falls but rarely, sometimes not for
years at a time.

GUN-TOTING AND THE MOVIES

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Before we pass laws to prevent
carrying or possessing pistols. let
us study the subject very carefully
In New York City. laws and reSu-
iations have made it troublesome
for a busy man TO take the time of
necessary to go through all the le-
| gal formalities required to take out
| a license. So that most law-abiding
citizens there are now unarmed. The
criminal classes recognize this fact
and feel much safer when they at
tempt to hold up any one. They are
emboldened in their crimes. as :hey
know that, the law-abiding citizen
IS probably without a gun" while
they themselves. who disregard the
law, are armed TO the teeth. Any laws
or regulations made for the District
should be such that it will be ex-
tremely simple and easy for the or
dinary citizen to get authority 70
have a gun in his automobile OF
wherever necessary to meet possible
attacks from robbers.
Let US also stop the dreadful pic
lures which are set before the pub
lie and which are so bad for our
boys and girls to see all the time.
This very week. II you will walk
along a half a block only. of one OF
our streets, which is devoted to
moving picture and other theatrical
attractions, there will be seen PIC
lures and scenes OF what is being
shown on tho films within, that
really picture "gun-toters" as he
roes Of romance and adventure. A
very bad appeal this. to our young
people. Just in a half blocks stroll
along this street, and there are
plenty of other localities with SINH

titles, accompanied by "bloord- cur
ding" scenes: "The Texas Gun-Man.'
Life in the Dives" "A Play of the
Underworld and It's Gangsters,'
