NEWARK, June 12.-"Today our
greatest national problem is not
foreign entanglements, not the tariff
not transportation. or other prob
lens which we deem important, but
II is disrespect for the law-unwill-
ingness TO abide by the laws of the
land" This statement was made by
United States Senator Irvine l..
Lenroot, Of Wisconsin, during his
address TO the graduates of the
University Of Delaware at the an
nual commencement exercises this

several thousand person. who came
from all parts OF the State. Senator

alumnus of the University, was
present and introduced Senator

Suwanee. Tenn, at the commence
ment of that institution had con-
ferred the degree Of Doctor OF Civil
Law on DR.. Walter Hullihen. presi-
dent of the University OF Delaware.
DR.. Hulihen was professor OF Greek
and Latin at the University OF the

Senator Lenroot during his speech
took occasion to commend the Uni

proposed foreign study plan for un-

the war whether we will or no, the
United States must take a part In
world affairs" As to the proposed
DlAn ne EdAus aAA NNA AAAtNA+ So
terested in the first years expert
ment of the plan.
Il feel sure that II is an expert
ment only because It is the first time
II has been tried. but really not an
experiment as it's success Is certain. |
