YOUNG GUARD RULE
CLAIMED BY NYE
North Dakotan Sees New
Majority in Senate Re-
publican Party.

Control of the Senate Republican or
ganization by the Young Guard" and
western independents as against the
Old Guard regulars was claimed yester-
day as the reorganized party machine
was formally approved.
Senator Nye Of North Dakota, who
was a member of the committee on
of recognition of various factions in
the new set-up, claimed the majority
against the Old Guard.
There is a new majority In the Sem
ate Republican party" he said OF the
floor. The party conference and the
Senate had unanimously approved the
new organization which gives places on
the finance committee to Senator La
toilette of Wisconsin and Thomas Of
Idaho.
La Toilette Naming Drew Protest.
Senator La Toilette Is one of the
Western independents who have re-
written the Republican tariff bill In
combination with the Democrats In the
interests of agriculture alone. He was
placed on the committee ove- the oppo-
sition Of four of the Old Guard-Reed
of Pennsylvania, Moses Of New Hamp-
shire, Bingham Of Connecticut and De-
neen of Illinois.
Senator ST1OOI Ol OtdI, bIiC NCICA a.
chairman Of the finance committee, OF
fered no explanation Of his vote IN
placing La Toilette on this committee
when Senator Wheeler. Democrat. OF
Montana asked in the Senate II Smoot
had not threatened to quit II the WIS
consin independent were chosen.
Decries McMaster's Defeat.
Senator Norbeck of South Dakota de-
cried McMaster's failure to get on this
committee after Senator Bingham had
pointed out that the committee on COM
mittees was composed of majority OF
Western Senators. Norbeck said that
McMaster should have been given the
interstate commerce commission as
signment, rather than Thomas the
finance post.
At the party conference, Senator
Glenn Of Illinois brought up the ques.
ton of party regularity and advocated
that Republicans give closer attention
to administration. This drew q retort
from Senator Norris of Nebraska OF the
Republican independents, who insisted
the independents in fighting the Repub-
lican tariff bill were actually carrying
out the wishes of President Hoover.

BRITISH REPLY RECEIVED.
Nature of Response to French Policy
Awaited With Interest.

PARIS, January 1.-THE reply of
the British government to the French
naval memorandum of 10 days ago was
received at the ministry Of foreign af-
fairs today through Anne de Fleuriau,
French Ambassador in London. The
exact nature of the response to the
Quai D'Orsay's outline of what French
policy Is to be at the forthcoming five
power conference is not known, but 1t
Is stated that the text Of the British
note will probably BE- published to-
morrow. 1t Is expected that In this
document the foreign ONCE will ex-
press itself in sympathy in general with
the French thesis of linking diSarma-
ment to the League covenant, but that
it will carefully refrain from describing
that as the sole doorway to limitation.
AS to the French proposal for Medi-
terranean pact of on-aggreSsion 1t Is
believed that London will welcome the
idea in principle without committing
Britain in any way to the role of armed
0uarantor of peace in those waters.
Just what the British will say about
the French charge that the kellogg
pact offers no security remains to be
seen, in fact the text and tenor OF the
note will be awaited with great interest.
Answer ItaIy's Note.

Rome to theeffect that the French re-
Rome to the effect that the French re-
Italian efforts to reach a naval under
standing was handed to Count Manzoni,
Italian Ambassador here, on January 8,
and that in the said reply the French
fealty refused to accept the idea Of
naval parity between the two countries.
Thus it is confirmed from Rome that
the Paris negotiations have largely
failed, and that the labor Of reaching a
Franco-Italian accord will have to be
undertaken after the opening of the
five-power conference in London.

arrived in Paris last night from The

that has no meaning in itself This division OF
labor takes away from job almost every pos
Siblity Of pleasurabe release. AS great organ
izations continue to take the place Of the small
individual concerns and the majority OF people
become employees, mechanical part of one
body, you can readily see that they will be
more restricted than ever. The instincts,
though, must be satisfied.
IF no other release is found, the criminal
instincts will come right to the fore. The
threat of punishment may hold them in check,
but not for long. 1t needs more than punish
ment to adjust person to society. There
must be an inner feeling CT justice and of salts
faction. And this feeling comes only when
there is proper balance between what is tor
hidden and what Is permitted. The fact that
the average persons life is not properly bal

much discomfort.
GONE must further consider that marriage,
too. has lost its playful irrational

more absorbed with work. To be financial
success Is the most important thing in Hfe
And now that women have become emanci-

little time for each other. Since marriage has
become an Insignificant part OF their lives it
has naturally lost much OF itS Importance as

Is not for any utiltarian reasons The thing
that he may tax may be Of no use to him;
he mag not care for it. It is only that
the act OF stealing Is an emotional release for
him. This childish, instructive stealing trans
forms into the later purposive stealing of the
adult.
The process of adjustment can be disturbed
for many reasons A child may be constantly
prohibited from doing things by his parents.
If there is diSsension between the parents he
will be torn by an emotional conflict that will
impel him to crime. If, on the other hand,
the child is overwhelmed with attention and
spoiled he will come into conflict later in life.
He finds that society does not spoil him. He
cannot face any problems. 1t is too dificut
for him to stay social and so he turns to
breaking laws. Here at last he finds salts
faction.
THE present method of education is such
that it does not help in the process of adjust
ment. 1t is almost entirely restrictive In the
days when life was simpler, this wasn't a handi-
cap. But today civilization is SO complex and
so restrictive that different methods of educa-
ton are needed II a child is to be equipped
for the difficult role he will have to play. For
as soon as he is old enough he will enter into
an economic world that will do its best to dam
up his emotional release.
