McMASTER PREVENTS
CANAL SURVEY VOTE
Holds Middle West Should Be
Given Assurance of Water
way Development.

BY the Associated Press.
= The Senate spent some time yester-
day considering the Edge resolution for
a survey to determine the feasibility and
cost of a canal through Nicaragua, but
objections from Senator McMaSter, Re-
publican, South Dakota, caused the
measure to go over until next week for
a final vote.
The South Dakota Senator objected
to taking final action on the measure,
because, he said, the Middle West would
be adversely affected by another canal
route and he thought Western Senators
should have an opportunity to debate
the proposition.
Senator McMaster said that the Pam
anna Canal had worked considerable
hardship upon Middle Western indus
tries, forcing them to seek location more
accessible to water routes for their
products. He commended that another
canal should not be undertaken unless
definite assurances were given that the
American system of inland waterways
was to be carried to fruition.

path of life through time.
When we do this, 1 believe, we en-
counter some astonishing challenges to
our dogmatism. We find that the ex-
PLANTATION is not so simple as we had

Such a retracing of the route of life's

"HERE is no valid excuse for a
scientific dogma.
Dogma and science are con-
Il Trajectory terms. In practice,
however, all branches of science
continually must combat a tendency
toward dogmatiSm.
Such has been the case in biology.
The concept of evolution-of a partic-
ular type of evolution, at that-has been
given practically the status of dogma.
True enough, the theory of the
origin of the vast number of life forms
through the operation of natural selec-
ton and the survival of the fittest, has
an almost irresistible appeal. 1t fits
vast number of observed facts. Within
experimental limits it works" The
purely pragmatic argument in its favor
is demolishing.
Tree Picture Created.
So we have formed mental picture
of life growing like tree, its roots
buried in the slime of Archean beaches
and its highest branches represented by
ourselves. This tree picture seems to
have become bit of scientific scrip

doubterS. The tree picture calls for a
continual growth from lower to higher
forms of life. There can be no gaps
in the growth. The gaps in the scien-
tific record-the missing links"-have
been filled in either by assumptions or
by fossil evidence Of questionable
validity.
In our scientific dogmatism we have
been inclined to dismiss those who in
sisted on questioning the assumptions
or the evidence as "cranks." We have

In addition to this it has been pointed
out that all living forms may be in
terpreted as falling roughly under one
)r other of the six systems of crystalliza-
ton All animals-the larger number
of the single celled animals or pro-
tozoanS and at least the early stages
Of the other typeS-are ultimately re-
ducible to the isometric system, with
three equal axes at right angles to
each other. and throughout the animal
kingdom there is a marked tendency
for the adults of the more complex
types to revert to this simple form.
System of Plants.
Plants, on the other hand, are funda-
mentally reducible to the orthorhombic
system, with three unequal axes at
right angles to each other, or to the
tetragonal SYSTEM with three axes at
right angles to each other, two equal
and the third longer or shorter.
So much for the possibility of animal

some extent determined by the funda-
mental properties of the compounds of

must receive due weight in any con-

While we are almost totally In ignor-

They must, therefore, be endowed with
locomotion. A cow must walk about in
order to get sufficient grass to eat, a
caterpillar must walk about in order to
get sufficient leaves, and even an earth
worm must be able to go from one place
to another.
So very nearly all the animals on land
belong to the two great groups, the
backboned animals. or vertebrates, and
the arthropods (nSects and crusta-
