thing that appeals to him most. Sweden
borg long ago worked out the varying
grades in the spiritual world on just
such basis of inherent desire and the
form that it takes.
1T people could know, not merely what
makes them better and happier, speaking
Individually, but what really does make
the world better and happier then they
might speak authoritatively on the sub
ject. AS it is one must naturally con-
clude that an authoritative statement
cannot be made until the whole mystery
of existence is solved.

BETTER AND HAPPIER

Two women recently were discussing
Knut Hamsun's Growth OF the Soil
and according to their temperaments dis
agreed. One saw in it the tremendous
drama OF existence expressed in the
simplest terms. the natural outworking
of inherent characteristics, the poignant
and unacceptable feel of the strong forces
of life, The other said it was horrible
bool., crude. raw. unnecessary.
81 don't know why it should ever
have been written" she protested.
There is not thing in it that could
make the world better and happier
What did she mean? AYhat do people
mean when they talk about making the
world better and happier? 1t is a phrase
that .glibly to the tongue, but one
that those who use It oftenest never dc
fine. Questioned they grow FESTIVE.
"What an idea! Certainly you know
what it means to make the world better
and happier They speak vaguely of
love and beauty and spiritual qualities,
and YOU agree readily, but ultimately dis
agree over the definition of these terms
and the use that is to be made OF them in
literature and inslfe.
Combining this discussion to literature,
however. the divergence of the two
points of view may be more nearly ana
lyzed. That attitude which is expressed
in Knut Hamsun's Growth of the Soil"
is inv cstigative and experimental. 1t
works into the heart of life 1t studies
the forces there discovered. the inherited
tendencies of the characters, their en-
vironment. the influence of the environ
ment upon them, the development of
the individual character rs the result of
this heredity and environment the &C
ton and reaction OF this character upon
the other characters in the story, the
results of this dramatic conflict. Che
conclusions of such story do not point
glibly to right and wrong. The story
is worked out to stand on its own merit.
"Here is a bit of life" these writers
seem to say, "that we as artists have
attempted to study and understand"
The other point of view, which OPP
poses such a literary method, begins with
a preconceived conception of life. 1t is
not analytical or critical for it is con-
cerned with giving what is called "con-
structive suggestions" If one is going
to give constructive suggestions one must
have something to suggest, and il the
viewpoint is neither analytical nor criti-
cal, these suggestions will naturally be
a reflection of the established order of
society. They will be orthodox and con-
yentional. Having laid down certain
laws, the next act is to enforce them by
impre ssing the duty of conformance. The
method is not a study of character and
of life in its fascinating variety but a
forcing of life into a determined mold.
Character in so far as it is studied is
simplified version of human character
created with the intent of proving a
preconceived point
Whatever method is favored is a mat
ter of personal preference. but is an
open question on the better and hap
pier" point. Does it make the world
better and happier to try TO understand
life or TO try to enforce certain notions
Of il! Again personal inclination will
dictate the reply. for each individual is
better and happier following out the

AN INTELLECTUAL RADICAL

The anniversary of Thomas Jefferson's
birthday, which falls on April % takes
on particular significance at this time
1t comes near the end of Jefferson
Week" and the nation wide drive for the
100000 necessary to complete the pur-
chase of Monticello Jefferson'S home
near Charlottesville, Va. for the pur-
pose of establishing national museum
While George Washington led the
armies of the colonists to victory,
Thomas Jefferson, as the author of the
Declaration OF Independence supplied the
ideas and gave form in words to the
spirit Of the revolution. The pen as com
pared to the sword has long been held
up to public valuation.

DRAWING HER PAY

Germany is reaping the reward, as
she viii continue to reap it for many
years to come, OF the "scrap-ofpape
spirit she showed during the great war.
She cannot understand why the other
nations OF Europe are not disposed to
accept her word when she gives it. APP
parently she is of the opinion that a
nation can break faith and still receive
the same credit as though she had kept
her pledge.
1t will be remembered that the treaty
OF Versailles contained a provision to
the effect that Germany should disarm
to a certain extent and that she should
not nI5 nufacture arms or munitions of
war to greater amount than was pro-
vided for in the treaty Germany gave
her assent to these things when she ac-
certcd the treaty.
1t has long been a matter OF common
report throughout Europe that Germany
was not keeping her word in regard to
the limitation of manufacture. She did
not diSarm to the extent she had prom
lsed, within the time she promised 1t was
necessary for the allied nations to form
a commission to oversee the German dis
and this commission report
ed several times that Germany was not
keeping her word in relation to dis
armament. The mesIbers of the COM
mission repeatedly found stores of wea-
oons that had been hidden away in VIC
alton OF the agreement that Germany
lad made.
After a time. the commission feeling
hat it had fulfilled its task in fairly
way. reported that its pro-
vision OF the disarmament proDosition |
vas finished and WAS discharged. After
hat there was nobody in Germany to
sec tlat the promises of Germany were
Kept.
OF late. reports have been received |
)y the allied nations to the effect that
not orly was Germany making arms,
but that she was making them in guam
title far in excess of the limitation set
in the treaty. France and Great Britain
recently addressed letter to Germany
the ACCESSIBILITY. OF the APP
DoiiitH4ent Sof q commission to look into
he metter. Germany has replied with a |
etter in which she says that she secs no
need OF the appointment, of a commits
ion. She declares that she is not max
ng the arms and that her word should
,e sufficient to satisfy them.

Germany should remember that after

or good faith in keeping her treaties
vent to the zero point. Not only had
,he agreed that Belgium must be re-
garded as neutral territory, but she had
signed treaty promising to see that
Belgian neutrality was mot broken by
my other nation. Then she committed
he crime she had promised to prevent.
How could she Expect. after that that
ANYBODY would take her word for any

below par, but that will be her lot for !

 A net increase of s2S.OOO, ,oOO also was shown for the post office de- partment. but the whole expendi- ture Of that department is expected to be returned to the treasury, along with surplus, as result of postal revenues, In theory the postal serv- lee always Is regarded in the budget as self supporting, although Ii has not always been so In fact The budget bureau declared revenues for the fiscal year 1926 had been con servatively estimated at s647,410,- 900. while the amount to be sd- vanced to the department for ex- penses is only sG37S76,OO5. Should these expectations be borne out. a postal surplus of more than sl0,- 100000 would be turned back into the treasury.
