New Quarterly Journal in Library.
A new publication, the Philogical
Quarterly, has been added to the shelves
Of the University Library. 1t is a jour.
nal devoted to scholarly investigation in
the classical and modern languages and
literatures. The quarterly is published
at the University Of lwoa. Hardin Craig

charges. This is the feature that appeals
especially to Edison. The paper money
would be made legal tender and would
therefore bear no interest. 1t could be
issued instead Of large bond issue when
ever the government wished to erect a
new industrial plant to create more work.
There is a marked similarity between
Fords plan and the Sherman Silver Act
Of 1890. by which Congress was author
ized TO purchase several million ounces
Of silver bullion with an issue Of paper
currency in the form of treasury notes.
The bullion was to be coined and circu-
lated as the treasury notes became due.
For the supply Of silver bullion Ford pro-
poses to substitute huge industrial enter
prises which will create sufficient wealth
and work to redeem the paper currency.

A NEW THEORY
Citizens and Professors Are In.
terested in His Financial
Project.

The latest product Of Henry Fords
brain is designed not only TO save people
money. but to change the very basis Of
money itself by eliminating the gold
standard. Before promulgaiing this new
theory Of economics, Ford conferred with
/! Thomas A. Edison, the inventor. who is
interested along similar lines; hence the
plan is to be- regarded as the joint prod
uct of these two minds. Columbians. in
particular, professors of the School of
Business and Public Administration, are
discussing the theory and Specializing As
to its practical value ss a panacea for
modern financial ills.
Briefly stated, Ford's theory is that
money should be issued against great
government projects which in themselves
create work, such as the Muscle Shoals
project, and that this new method Of
issuing money should supplant gold as
the stndard Of value. In addition. Ford
suggests that the plan might be enlarged
in scope to include railroads. This would
mean that instead Of issuing bonds, a
railroad would issue paper currency
against the value of the road, which
would be operated by the government.
This. in turn. would relieve the railroads

again one state must be divided into sew

Fifteen Of the stories included in the
volume were chosen because each repre-
sented the best Of its particular local
color region. But this does not mean
that all the stories are strictly local color

The gentlemen from the Chita gov.
eminent must perforce be content with
this, and It may be said that there 10
no apparent reason to doubt the good
faith Of Japan in the matter.
The four powers slgnatOry to the
Pacific treaty have agreed to an ex-
change Of notes defining the treaty
as not applicable to the mainland OF
Japan. Whether this includes the
BONN and Loochoo islands. as Japan
wishes. Is not yet known.
All three of the chief parties In the
japanese diet, which opened last
week. are on record as approving the
results Of the Washington conference.
THREE hundred delegates to
L the agricultural conference called BY
Secretary Wallace were In session In
Washington, and considerable friction
developed during their deliberations.
The farmers bluntly set forth their
woes. and President Harding and Mr..
Wallace let them know that the con.
illusions reached by the conference
would form the basis for drive by
the administration to obtain for them
relief measures from congress. Not
only temporary relief will be asked.
but measures that shall so stabilize
agriculture that there will be greater
remuneration for the farmer and
lower prices for the consumer. Before
the conference had been In session two
days insurgency made it, appearance
Some delegates declared the purpose
Of those responsible for the meeting
was the destruction Of the agricul.
