/ PressD- A resolution urging recall
Of Ronald W BOyden, American
unofficial representative on the rep

argue. should be recalled until this

pect 10 be opposed with the state
ment that the United states has Ger I

SCIENCE
Atoms and. Logic

Almost nIi OF tho astonIshlng
new things in science OF tho past
few years may be found to have been
understood or partly Understood cen
turtles ago by "A few enlightened
minds.
About 80 A. d. Roman, Titus
Lucretius carua. wrote n poem called
rDo Rerum Naturae." meaning "on
the nature Of thlnFs." Even at that
time the atomic theory WAS no, new,
but he elaborated u in n manner that
prophesled the Developments Of the
theory. His prophecies were well
reasoned and his conclusions arrived
ut by pure logic. He was proved
correct by modern knowledge Of the
atomic theory.
This Roman philosopher also
taught many truths about the ulti.
mate units OF matter and told Of
their limited variety We now know
there are % OF these elements. start.

committees Of experts which to probe Genanys ca

This participation however will not be official Our

Among other things the committees will investigate is
the advisabilty of loan to Germany. Which, were we
cynicaly inclined might say of the reasons why
Washington is willing to sanction American par
ticipation at this time.
For if loan is to be floated this country will have
to furnish of the coin for the very simple reason we
have corner the supply. But at that if ade-
quate German be found and nailed down to
back up such loan there is particular reason we can
see why it should not be made
But if we participate in international plan to
collect money and float loans, isn't there way-some

Money is of interest to handful of bankers mostly
since they control most Of it, But peace is vital to every
