unless the Hoot has printing equip ment thus qualifying-bu is an in stitution that should stand for the supremacy of the intellect and should stimulate an appreciation of rhe artistic. Gothic architecture dates from the dim and illustrious past of the Greeks, to be sure. Power houses, skyscrapers and fac tories have their uses. but they can- not displace the fruits of the ages as represented in architectural sublimity.
 Such Yale students who do not like Gothic architecture and who
 must be housed in a skyscraper to feel at home, might transfer their allegiance to the University of Pitt tsburgh, which has skyscraper building; and those who must be in power house to feel comfort able might become linemen in the employ of any of Mir.

RACIAL POLITICS

one cannot help being amused, during political campaigns as they are fought in these parts. ly the energetic efforts made by the cam paisn managers 10 line up" racial groups It's q great game, this ap- pealing to the Polish vote. the Italian vote, the Irish vote, the Ger man vote, the Swedish vote, and what not, as i; the Americanized descendants Of these groups would never forget the land from which their forbcars sprang.
 The game is becoming more hazardous every election. Time was when the racial groups were com plctely foreign born. A large pro- portion of the racial groups today consists Of the first and second gen. eration Of the crstwhile foreign born, however. and they show a tendency 10 resent being classified as other than plain, everyday Americans.
 A fair percentage of the progeny of the crstwhile naturalized citizens cannot speak any language except English. The second generation IS even more Americanized than the first; indeed. it is mostly impossible 10 tell the difference between May flower descendant boy and the second generation of an erstwhlle immigrant who arrived upon these shores after the Civil War. The two are likely 10 be interested in the same things and neither IS interest cd in racal appeals.
 The politicians, however, believe there remain sufficient number Of race conscious individuals in town 10 justify their race appeals. Other 1 wise they would scarcely indulge in 1 them. Most Of such appeals are mere i balderGash yet tend 10 stimulate a 1 tendency that is not in conformity with that Americanization one used 10 read about.
 Some day. even in this Clty where racial groups remain particularly numerous, there is going 10 be very i little race consciousness, except nat 1t be "5ust plain American And that day is not far distant Al cleo ton time the "barrage of words will be vastly improved.
 In other words the recurrent racial appeals give US great pain. And we heartily encourage any lm- migrant or son of an immigrant, or ! grandson Of an immigrant, who shares our irritation at the recur- ring racial capers by our vote catching politicians.

NALI'> GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE

The Hardness Hoot. the literary ma gazine sponsored by two Yale undergraduates which has been hooting at things in quite q lusty fashion ever since 1t started. brings up quite vital artistic problem when it attacks the Gothic architec- ture of Yale's newly erected build ings.
 The editors Of the magazine claim that this is no ase for Gothic archi- lecture; that it is an age when the life of the present should be re- flccted in the buildings Of the present. The modern Yale library has been made into q fortress, :" says the magazine. and it IS a "monument of hfelessness and decadence." Even the modern gym nasium has been made into a "csthedral," run the bitter words.
 There are no two sides to the question, according 10 the Hoot. Modern buildings should be really modern, like skyscrapers power houses and factories. and 10 be perfect examples of modcrnity should be so true to modern life that the casual pedestrian or dQtoist could not tell Yale power house from the genuine article represent ing Mir. Roraback's industry. And if a Yale factory-like building, such as the Hoot advocates. lacks the soot 10 look like the real article, 1t might be possible 10 borrow some of the dirt from the largest factry in town, CT perhaps digs up some Of the slime from New Ravens harbor and cover the building with it.
 The architects of these new build ings. Of course, have found means to spend lot Of money upon the Gothic architecture. That is one modern reason for such architec- ture, the Hoot might claim, making it possible to expend much money in one place.
 As for ourselves, we do not agree with the Hoot If Yale students are as normal as we know they are they see enough Of factories, pow CT houses and the other infernos of modern life by merely looking at them. To carry out such ideas in the construction of libraries and other buildings needed by an edu- cational center would be dragging the ideals of life into the mire of the machine age.

THE INTERNATIONAL TUNNEL

Opening Of 6 yehicular tunnel
 between Detroit and Windsor, Ont.
 gives motorists between the two
 countries-and thousands of com
 muting bus traTelers-one more
 means Of quick transportation be-
 tween the two countries. The tunnel and the great Ambassador bridge provide fast transportation: the fer ries, once the only means Of trans
 portation for autoists and pedes- ,rIans. will still remain in b4sin S
 but will share appreciably less ot it. But the vehicular tunnel is not
 the first tunnel constructed between the United States and Canada, as
 some Of the prints have had it. The
 Michigan Central railroad has had
 tunnel in use between the two countries for l5 years while the
 railroad tunnel between Port Huron
 and Sarnia, built by the old Grand
 Trunk railroad-now part Of the Canadian National-has been In
 operation for 30 years or more
 Thus there now are three tunnels between the two countries. in addl- ton to bridges at Buffalo. Niagara
 Falls and Detroit.
 The alacrity with which Anefl- cans and Canadians have met the demands of modern life with such modes of speedy travel is in con- siderable contrast with the refusal
 of the British and French to agree 1IDon a tunnel under the English Channel. When this matter was re- introduced a year or so ago decades- old objections were voiced; in case of hostilities, it was said, fate might permit one nation Or the other to obtain control of the tunnel, and then it would be very incon-
 venient for the nation losing con- trol.
 In other words Britain and France continued to think in terms of the past, while the United States
 and Canada. welding the two na- tions with one tunnel and bridge after the other, never pause to ask anything about possible hostili-
 ties. Long ago they made pp their minds that there won't be ahy, and

1893 AND 1930

Comparing the panic or 1893 with the business depression of 19S0 has it's interesting points. Be it stated at the outset that the 1893 panic is the only depression within memory that can be compared with he depression of 1880. The depres- ion of 13co-2i was accepted as an inevitable aftermath of wartime sxpansion and had been discounted, while the depressions of 1913-14 and 19o7-07 were less severe and shortlived.
 The panic Of 1895 was blamed en- -irely upon the Democrats, Yet like n 1880, it was preceded by cco- 1omic distress in most of Europe. # the Democrats had anything to 1o with the 1895 depression the Republicans are equally respon- ;ible for the 1880 depression. Busi- ncss stagnation ruled in England, Trance and Germany during the most of 1891 and all Of 1892, while st that time business was on the upgrade in the United States. The .cyival began in Engl2nd Trance and Germany in 1895. whereas the -evival which ushered in prosperity did not get under way in the United states until 1897.
 < striking difference between the depression Of 1893 and that Of 1880 the existence today of the Fed eral Reserve System, with q result ing elasticity in the currency. The Fundamental cause Of the 1893 panic was the depletion Of the GoNern- ment's gold reserve and a wide spread distrust of the currency, with money scarce Today money is plentiful and the rates for call money low. In 1893 failure Of na ttonal banks were common; today such failures are uncommon. IL has been the smal! country banks in the west, not national banks, which have suffered from frozen assets, ' which have failed; but they have been doing that for years, even be- tore the depression started. Their plight is one of the serious prob lems affecting the banking frater- nifty, but has nothing in common with financial conditions throughout the country as a whole.
 The panic of 1895 came during a movement for bimetalism, due to the alleged shortage of gold. It is said today also, that in view of the decline in commodity prices and the accompanying slackening of buying the cause lies in the fact that the gold supply of the world is de- creasing relatively to the demands made upon it. The bim metalist move ment of the l890s was a popular one, opposed by most Of the oanh- CTS and economists, and it visualized action by the United States inde- pendently, if necessary. Today pro- posals made for broadening the currency base come chiefly from a few bankers and economists. who stipulate international action, with <Ae public not greatly alarmed or

THE DANGERS OF OIL

Modern cities are saturated with oil. It is stored in tanks under ground and aboveground. It is car ried in automobile tanks. It is kept in industrial esta blishments and in commercial institutions. When d fire starts where oil is present the re- suits are disastrous.
 Three instances have figured in the public press the past few days, and if there is a moral in the news stories it is that there cannot be too much care exercised by officials in insisting that safeguarding laws be fully compiled with, or that they be frightened to prevent oil fires in oil saturated cities.
 The oil fire in Kansas City, Mo. originated in what is termed a warehouse district" but that also meant It originated in an oil storage district, Large tanks of the fluid became fuel for the devouring flames, and for further details the news columns give them in all their thrilling variety.
 But the Kansas City fire, after all was in a district which seems to have been at least partly rescrl ed for oil storage. and this being the case it might be argued that some time or other a big fire was certain 10 occur,
 This was not the case in down. town Boston on sunday, when with in a few doors of the LaGrange street police station in the heart Of the downtown section an explosion of large proportions occurred in d dycing and cleaning establishment. Such establishments honeycomb the cities, and in some sections they are as thick as saloons used to be-. The government Of New Britain has been keenly alive to possible dangers and has enacted stringent | ordinances which must be adhered 10 and which frequently cause the hand ot official restraint to be | raised
 New Bu'aln IS no different from Boston. and what occurred in that city following the explosion can as readily occur here. When the authorities insist that such estab- lshmen's conform to every letter Of the law no unreasonable atti- tude is being taken. Public prote4- ton demands i'.
 The other fire that elicrcd na- 1ionNide interest. Of course, was the blaze Of an oil well in the suburbs Of Oklahoma City. How q city will permit oil drilling within it's bor- ders IS beyond the comprehenson Of the average onooker: but in Okia- homa City oil IS king. and one ls , left with the impression that f it IS a choice between oil and remoy- ing the city the latter will be chcrr- fully accomplished and public obj'c- lion will be nil Oklahoma City wishes to remain on the map, we suppose; good way 10 insure f would be o eliminate the oil wells from within is borders, even should such a drastic decision account for some loss 10 the entcrprisiAg oil ln- dustry.
