COLLEGE PRESIDENCY

After twenty-one years Of service
to the government, DIR. Samuel w.
Stratton, director of the bureau Of
standards of the department Of COM
merce. has resigned his post. His
resignation was accepted by Secre-
tary Hoover, and IL is understood
that, as saan as he puts his af-
fairs into shape, the eminent scien-
tist will accept the offer to become
president of the Massachusetts, Insti-
tue of Technology, which high posi-
ton has been rendered him. He is
expected to take over his new duties
the first of the year..

navy during the past conflict. and to
commerce and industry at all times.
The loss of DIR. Stratton," Secre-
tary Hoover declared, lis a great ma
tional loss"
In praising the long and highly sue
cessful government career of DIR.
Stratton, the secretary of commerce
said: While the Massachusetts In
stitute OF Technology is to be con-
graduated on securing Mr. Stratton,
one cannot overlook the fact that the
desperately poor pay which our gov
ernment gives to great experts makes
it impossible for us to retain men
capable of performing the great re-
sponsibilities which are placed upon
them.
"The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, an educational institu-
ton. finds no difficulty in paying men
OF DIR. Stratton's caliber three times
the salary the government is able to
pay them.
DIR. Stratton has repeatedly re-
fused large offers before, but the in
ability of the scientific men in the
government to properly support them.
selves and their families under the
living conditions in Washington, and
to make any provisions for old age
makes II impossible for any respon-
sible department head to secure such
men for public service at government
salaries"

1884 from the University OF Illinois,
where he later became professor of

stan of more than 800 employees. The
bureau is closely aligned with the in.
dustries Of the country. aiding them
In research work and development OF

pendence upon Germany.

FORE INVESTIGATIONS COM
PLETED, SAYS JEWISH CON
GRESS.

London (J. T. A.)-Israel Zangwill,
noted Jewish author and leader OF the
Jewish Territorial Organization, told
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that
the offer of the Mexican Govern
ment to grant Jewish immigrants
from Eastern Europe facilities for set
tling on the land should be accepted,
if President Obrcgon's Government is
lin earnest 1t would be "crime,"
he said, to neglect to take advantage
of the offer, in view of the desperate
position of the Jewish people in Rus
sia and the Ukraine.
Mr.. Zangwill stated also that the
Mexican offer should not be taken as
Il competition with Palestine, which is
| regarded by Zionists as the recognized
haven for homeless Jews.
The offer is particularly important,
he said, because the territory offered
adjoins the United States, American
Jews being in Il position to direct the
settlement.
1t is essential, Mr.. Zangwill said, to
establish II company to develop the
country along business lines, which
must be backed by responsible Jewish
organizations.
Mr.. Zangwill said he was ready to
come to America to discuss the matter
if officially invited by President OBJ
RECON and the American Jewish Con-
gress.
Commenting ON Mr.. Zangwill's read
mess to come to America, Joseph
Barondess, chairman of the commits
sion appointed by the Executive Com
mission of the American Jewish Con-
gress to investigate and report on the
Mexican offer, said:
I'VE were pleased, to learn of Mr.
| Iangwill's statement and to know of
his readiness to COOPERATE with the
American Jewish Congress with re-
gard to this plan. 1t was TO he ex-
pected that Mr.. Znngwill would be
specially interested in plan offering
new opportunities for Jewish emigra-
tion and mt the proper time we shall
deem 1t Il privilege to have the COOP
Grafton of man of his standng and
of other Jewish leaders abroad.
But we must. first of all, complete
the thorough investigation of this re-
ported offer. which we are now max
ing. and nothing will be done by us to
encourage emigration into Mexico un-
til after we. are fully assured of the
reliability and feasibility of the plan"

No Time for Women

Mr.. Tchirhcrin is IL bachelor; women
manifestly have no place in his
dreams of millennium. How this
came to be is secret which perhaps
will never out ! am not preSuming
that there never was any romance in
Mr.. Tchicherin's life. Just to illus
tratc how wrong l would he if l did,
recall an incident which occurred in
ii fashionable Stockholm cafe.
Some Americans were discussing
often regrets that there is no room
for chivalry in Socialist state; that
equality does not recognize gallantry.
Another claimed that while Lcnin
seems to have way of treating
women no better than men, Tchicherin
simply overlooks the whole feminine
sex: if he is conscious of women at
all it is only through n slight annoy
ance.
Now when the company had finally
arrived at these conclusions, they sud
denly became aware of an aristocratic
and beautiful lady at the next table
who was regarding them disdailfuliy
through gold lorgnette.
Presently she exclaimed in Russian.
.'IIow absurd you are. Mr.. Tchicherin
was an old sweetheart of mine" So
saying. she arose and swept grandly
away. rustling in her lavendar silks

NOTES OF THE TOURNAMENT

. Continued From Page Four
Skupa had lot Of stuff but more
hard luck. He had two bad innings
but they weren't all his fault by a
long ways. The stocky southpaw had
a good season in the Mississippi Val
ley League this year and goes up to
Rochester in the International next
year, SO he has license to show plenty
of stun.
Madison showed a new third sacker
one Lanahan, who has just re-
turned to Madison after a season in
the Dakota League. He handled
flock of chances in fine style and
looks like a sweet hitter
Madison also had another new face
in the lineup. Childs evidently
brought out catcher from Chicago,
but we hardly believe Collins will
come back. If he's an Improvement
over Garvey we miss our guess sew
eral miles.
Bill Wagner came through again
with a long drive ON an attempted
walk. A lot of advice has been
handed out about how to pass Bill but
from what we've seen this season we
are inclined to think the safest way
to do it would be to throw the balls
back of Bill. Even then he might
whirl around and crack one but we
believe it would work better than the
other ways we've seen tried.
Johnny Mohardt and Peden make a
swell team in the outfield. Both are
fast, both can go get 'em most any
where, and both have rife shot pegs.
You can't ask much more.
This week is featured with a bunch
of chances to get even with Shulls-
burg. The teams meet Tuesday at
Dodgeville, Wednesday and Thursday
at Bloomington, and at Lancaster on
Sunday. After Sundays game every
one of the four games should draw
like fire in Lancaster. You can't
see much better baseball than these
teams can show and if the fans don't
turn out it's a cinch they're not look
ing for baseball.

The Genoa Delusion

Mir. J. /. Garvin has done a time
ly service in setting forth a view
point which has figured largely in
the Genoa proceedings but which
has never before been so frankly
avoWed. In his dispatches he be-
rates the Belgians and French for
holding out for the restoration to
their nationals of property confs-
Gated by the Soviet government.
This, he says. amounts to arguing
as though the war and the Bolshe-
visit revolution had never happened v
1t is wonderful discovery that
the war was fought to establish the
principle that government may
safely coNfscatc property within its
territory belonging to citizens or
subjects of other nations. from
which it expects to obtain po-
htical recognition and with which
it seeks to establish friendly COM
mercial relations. Did the war and
the Bolshevist revolution give the
Moscow regime the privilege of re-
pudiating Russia's foreign debt
These are strange theories to those
who believe that international law
still exists only because the Allies
defeated Germany's efforts to abol,
ish it.
But many strange doctrines. in
Guiding the right of a prodigal
debtor to dictate the terms on which
his debts are to be paid, are being
preached at Genoa, Americans 90
not understand them. Our StaIe
Department has rebuked them. To
the American mind Belgium and
France are entitled to treat Russia
as an outlaw if she refuses to ac-
knowledge her international obIiga-
IONS and to refuse association with
her on the ground that She is a will
ful defaulter.
Inc war was certainly not fought
and won to erase the distinction be-
tween honesty and dishonesty, be-
tween national good faith and ma
tional bad faith. If it was, the
United States never realized that
fact and is still too uneducated IN
the new ideas to participate with
advantage in gatherings like that at
Genoa.
