Premier Hughes Sends
Message to America

dom despite the Vaccinations OF
mutual enemies
Nor can we forget that we fought
and bled together in the greatest
war of all time. In our outpost OF
the British empire, Australians have
rallied TO the full the signihance Of
this mutual regard.
Not only to us-but to the whole
world-the continued friendship Of
the two great Anglo-Saxon races
means peace and progress.
I'VE in Australia look to the sis
ter democracy of America for CO.
operation in problems Of mutual con-
Germ.
our destiny, like the destiny Of
your western states. lies in the Pa
cihc. on the shores Of this vast
ocean are gathered the bulk of the
peoples of the earth. They differ
in language. ideals and religions.
THE rapid mSdernization of many
OF these peoples may increase. rath-
er than diminish. the problems
which inevitably arise where peo-
pies of different races congregate.
so we feel that we-the white
outpost OF the Pacihc-may look to
the United States with a confidence
born OF mutual ideals.
"In our hands lies the destiny OF
the Pacific. and in our common task
lies our strongest bond Of friend

Members of the four staffs pro-
fessed ignorance OF where their
chiefs were spending the weekend.
The mysterious absences of the
four officials, at the very height OF
the Upper Silesian controversy, gave
rise to much speculation. With the
airplane bringing Paris and London
so close to each other, there were
numerous rumors that the two pre-
miers had met somewhere on the
French coast to reach an agreement
on how to dispose of the troublesome
Silesian problem.
Throughout the arguments fea-
tured by the heated statements is
sued first from Britain, then from
Paris. there have been rumors that
the two actually were not so far
apart as they appeared TO be. Both
being astute politicians, some Of their
opponents argued there was a possi-
bility that they were using the sit
uation to put their parliaments more
strongly behind them.
BRAND was certain OF a viva voce
vote when the Chamber resumes de-
bate Of his policies this week.
Lloyd Georges statements oppos-
ing the French procedure in Silesia
were credited with solidifying the
premier's position.
Meanwhile there were reports that
Lloyd George had devoted his week
end to conference~on the mine strike.
which many officials appeared TO be-
lieve would be settled this week.
Leaders OF the miners union held
several conferences over Sunday,

MELLOW SPRINGS. O.-Practice
Il takes precedence over theory
under the new plan Of Antioch COL
lege. This for the first time in the
history of modern colleges.
The new policy results from put
ting a practical engineer at the head
of the college lie is Arthur e. Nor
gan. who supervised the food pre-
vention project in the Miami Valley,
near Dayton. O.
The success of the small college
i'm this country depends on its abil-
ity to pick out some small part of
the educational problem and do 1t
better than the big university does
H." says Morgan.
To Train Employees.
Antioch has chosen the field Of
training proprietors-men who are
TO be employers. not employees. The
number OF people in the United
States\who are managers of their
own time and resources. rather than
employees working under direction,
aggregate several millions.
This number includes farmers,
iAiNA AAAnAFf CUNT hNARAN - NAaAAuAANAuA
ers and professional men and wo-
men in private practice. Success
ful management requires a very def
mite type OF ability. The manager
must have the ability to- corordi-
nate all elements into an organic
whole.
He must have a sound knowledge
OF men and affairs and a personality
developed in foresight. caution, cour-
age, tact and initiative"
Students Training.
Students will spend part OF their
time In classroom and part OF it In
establishments where they can gain
practice in their professions.
They will contract for jobs, buy
supplies, complete the job. collect
the money and divide the profits.

An of this is new, but Antioch
College is old. II was founded in
1853 with Horace Mann as its first
president. The entore student body
enlisted in the Civil War, the men

Antioch was a leader under Hor-
ace Mann in offering equal oppor-
tunities to men and women. Women

Special attention will be paid to
athletics and physical condition OF

ciates. HE works three times as
hard as any other man. Doesn't
know how to play-not even golf.
Likes high brow music and lectures.
but hasn't time for popular theatri-
Gals. His pleasure is in seeing his
work prove successful and being

neering Company of Memphis, Tenn.
He supervised some of the biggest
drainage jobs in the south.
He is as. married and has three
children. He is president of the Ma

My aim is to help the student find
himself" says Morgan, "to help him
to a well-proportioned development
Of personality through cultural
courses. leaving him with a keen APP
petite for knowledge; to build in him
sound character; to arouse enlight-
ened moral enthusiasm so that his
whole preparation for life will be
but a means OF maklSg him a good

SAY TAX PAYMENTS
MERIT MORE AID
sneelal % rhe EvenIng journal.

Special 70 The Evening Journal
WASHINGTON. May Ex-senator
BAH. Senator wolcott and Congress
man Layton will make a fight for a
larger share for Delaware Of the
money which soon will be approprl-
atod by Congress to assist the states
in financing the construction Of good
roads. Senator Wolcott some time
ago expressed his disapproval OF the
whole scheme OF Federal aid In road
buiiding. but If an appropriation is
made ne insists that Delaware be
treated fairly
Il Is contended by the Delaware
delegation In Congress that though
the Diamond State pays as much in
income taxes as a number OF other
States combined, her share of the
fund appropriated for aid 10 the
states in road building is so small as
to be almost contemplate. The claim
IS made that the system Of appor-
tionment is altogether wrong and
ought TO be changed.
a am In favor Of Federal aid TO
road building IL the distribution Of
funds is on fair and equitable
basis" said Senator Ball. But Della
ware in this matter OF Federal aid
has been treated with manifest un-
fairness"
The basis for distribution in popu-
lation and area. OF course Delaware
is small in area and this is accepted
as good reason for giving her a tiny
share OF the public road building
fund. The Delaware delegation is full
ly agreed that there are other mat
ters which should weigh heavily
when apportioning the amount OF
money due from the Federal treasury
for road building.
The authorities should especial
ly consider the amount OF taxes we
pay" said Senator Ball. we make
an enormous contribution to the
treasury every year and insist that
when the money is given out we
should get a larger share"
One State which pays but one
tenth OF the income and excess profit
taxes which Delaware turns into the
United States Treasury, has received
so far about ten times the amount OF
Ah'HNf A'A i'aN buiiNih1 mat has
been allotted TO Delaware
Il hope that Congress will see that
we are not treated this way In fu-
ture, said Senator BAH. This mat
ter viii come up for consideration in
the very near future. There Is no
difference of opinion between Sena-
tor Wolcott and myself regarding the
manner in which Delaware has been
treated. We each believe that the
Diamond State has had anything but
a square deal"
