The Cabinet Reorganization.

At practically the end Of the second
year of President Hardings term Of
office his cabinet remains more nearly
intact than is usually the case after
such a lapse. In these two years there
have been two designations, first that
of Postmaster General Hays year
ago, and second that Of Secretary Fall,
which is just taking effect. In replace
ment Of the Secretary Of the Interior
the President now shifts to that de-
partment the Postma ster General, DIR.
Work, who succeeded Mr.. Hays. and
in place of the Postmaster General
he appoints Senator Harry S. New of
Indiana, who retires from the Senate
on the 4th of March.
DR.. Works shift to the Department
of the Interior is warranted by the eX-
cellence of his record in the Post Office
Department, as during the past year
he has carried on that immense busi-
ness with high executive ability. He
goes now to a field OF important serv-
ice. The Department of the Interior,

many vital interests, and there is con-
fdent expectation that the new Secre.
tary will conduct the affairs of that
department with fidelity to the estab-
lished principles OF conservation of
natural resources.
In assigning Senator New to the
head of the postal administration the
President has expressed an admiration
for his ability which has been mani
tested heretofore. In his long service
In the Senate Mr.. New has demon
strated qualities that now fit him ad-
mirably for cabinet post. He is an
efficient worker. he has breadth of
vision and he knows the government
service thoroughly.
Thus reconstructed the cabinet re-
mains strong combination of adj
visers for the President. comprised as
it is of men in whom he has implicit
confidence.

Urges Aid for the American Student.
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
A small article In the columns of
your houriships newspaper has led
me to burst forth in Indignation,
righteous or otherwise.
Under the date of February 20,
the Associated Press spread the glad
tidings that million dollars had been
donated to Columbia University for
the benefit of foreign students.
Great. simply marvellous. but why
the clause "for foreign students" ?
Have the American philanthropists SO
much money to give away that they
cannot find a field in the great body
of American undergraduates that need
fiancial aid? An investigation as to
the number of men forced to leave
college and graduate schools each
year because of financial embarrass-
ment would lead one to believe that
there is plenty of opportunity for
similar donations among American
students. Not that the American
born students have not had generous
gifts placed at their disposal. nor
benefited materially from outside
means; but why place a fortune at
the disposal Of foreigners, to their
exclusion?
Native Not Seeking Charity.
One thing that stands out as an
asset to the native student is the fact
that he is not looking for charity. His
only desire is that he may be able
to find some method of earning suf-
f1cient funds to enable him to get by
in his chosen college.
Having lived for quite number OF
years in the city where one of the
best known universities in the coun-
try sheds its light, and having spent
the required period of time in a
smaller college absorbing the neces-
sary amount of learning to enable me
