Opposition has died away and ap-
parently the Senate will ratify the
protocol if the conference continues
to a successful conclusion. Any fur
ther concessions by Herriot over the
evacuation of the Ruhr are consid-
cred comparatively unimportant be-
side the concessions yielding French

One of Herriot's bitterest opponents,
the Journal des Debats, says: France
has made great concessions and, in
our opinion, has no reason to regret
1t II, as 1t would appear, that was the
only way to keep the entente"
The Journal des Debats never ad-
mftted as much before and there is
reason to believe the sudden cessa tion
of French opposition is rather due to
the American position. Most opposi-
tion leaders, including Poincare.

diplomatic dinners, etc, that America
considered it necessary that France
renounce all possibility of trying an

these are for the particular individual.
Why can't psychiatrists detect the
symptoms in a child and either correct
matters or have him permanently iso-
lated from society, the public asks.
More harm than good might be
done, is the answer To curb a boys
dreams may ruin a great poet of a
great general. The ordinary boy,
leading the ordinary life, will not be-
come a Loeb, according to the psyche
logist.
Exponent of Freudism.
DR.. White is one of the worlds
foremost exponents of the general
theory of Freudism, which its friends
call science. and its enemies meta
physics or religion. BY it practically
any human action can be interpreted
in the light of past events-longings,
rebuffs, etc.
The other school holds that ac-
tions can be interpreted with any
degree of reliability only by visible
cause and effect. The mind of the
Individual, they say, is a definite or
ganism. On this organism different
things produce impressions-for in
stance, heat, cold. love, hate, jeaI-
ousy. These, in their turn, motfvate
actions.
The Freudist exponents attempt to
look behind these impressions, into
the depth of the mind itself with it's
perience
Another question brought before
the public in the Loeb-Leopold trial
is: What is the difference between
insanity" and diseased mentaIityT'
This was explained by the pSychol-
ogist as follows:
Insanity and Mental Sickness.
Insanity" is not a medical or psy-
Geological term. If it has any sig
nificance, it is legal. When a man
has typhoid fever we say he is
diseased. Also when a man has a
slight cold his physical organism is
diseased, but we do not say he Is
sick The doctor does not treat
the typhoid fever patient for 'sick-
ness" He treats him for typhoid
FEVER. Sickness" speaking physi-
cally, is practically a synonym for
insanity" speaking mentally.
INSANITY" said the expert, lis that
degree of mental disease which a jury
would consider sufficient as an eX-
cuse for murder. The disease it.
self, whatever it may be, has a spe-
cific name in psychiatry."
Attorneys for Loeb and Leopold
then, admit the boys are not insane
because the degree of mental sickness
which they claim for them is not
sufficient to convince an ordinary
jury that they are not responsible for
their acts. A man might be insane
the expert said, and at the same time
get high marks in college but ii
would be hard to convince a jury OF
this.
Mental Illness" is different That
a man is mentally ill is no legal
excuse for murder. 1t may, however
| be offered in a plea for modification
of sentence before a Judge.
