Secret Naval Papers

President Hoover may or may not be within his
technical rights in refusing the request of the minor
ity of the senate foreign relations committee for
copies OF so-caed secret documents relating to the
London naval treaty And it is understandable that
the President is dispeased with efforts of minority
to defeat the treaty by what seems to the White
House unfair tactics and Delay.
Nevertheless we think Hoover has made tactical
blunder. His rests the fact-and most of the
country believes it to be tact-that there was no
deep plot at the London conference, no secret COM
nitmentS, nothing to hide.
If Senator johnson or any treaty opponents fears
otherwise the quickest way to the fear is
put all documents on the table,
The Hoover Stmson argument is that the secret
documents contain confidential information relating
to other governments, which we have no right to
divuge There is point to this reasoning as applied
to publication of the documents. But we fail to see
why the records should not be spread before the
foreign relations committee in executive session, as
johnson asks.
Under the Constitution, the senate is jointly
responsible with the President for treaties To exer-
else its advice and consent" integenty the senate
should have as full information as the President In
exceptional cases. where il is not compatible with
the public interest that full information be given on
the senate floor, it is necessary that the
senate be given the benefit of that full information
through the confidence of its responsible foreign rea-
tons committee.
In the case of the London naval treaty the admin
israton apt find that its best weapon for prompt
ratification to let the facts speak for themselves
without evasion or secrecy. Otherwise, doubts may
be raised in the public mind which now accepts the
treaty in good faith.

ogy On April 10, $780, he delivered the presidential
address before this society at Nashville Tenn Here
he discussed the QUESTIONABLE episode and revealed
the crucial fact that the curaors had prosecuted him
for sex lecture which he gave occasionally before
advanced students The QUESTIONABLE was only a
pose and blind for the attack.
The curators then jumped on him again for dam

case and ordered him to appear before them for a
hearing on May 16 For two days the hearing pro-
ceeded Meyer being aided by Kansas City lawyer
named Hazard They had the curators on the run,
though most of the faculty who supported Meyer were
yet to testify Victory for Meyer and the faculty
seemed right at hand.
But Mr. Hazard was a busy and wanted to
get back to his legal work. Meyer persuaded to
agree to a compromise" He prepared apology"
which was read and accepted and the curators prom
ised orally to appoint him for another year. The fac
ulty accepted the compromise rather than fight the
thing through to finish.
Nothing is settled. Meyers tenure is not legally
assured Freedom of teaching is not buttressed. Com
stockery in the board of curators has not been
Scoched. Civilized teaching in regard to at Mis-

net result is that the mountain of investigation has

SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETI
Famous BritoD Tells Scien-
fists HoD Nature Has Built
Universe out of Atoms.

HOW nature has built the uni
4 i verse out of atoms was de-
scribed by Sir William Bragg, ia
nous British physicist, in a lecture
before the Franklin institute of
Philadelphia.
Bragg, a pioneer in the study of
X-rays and director of the Royal
institution of Great Britain, is a
visitor in the United States. He
came over at invitation Of Frank
lin institute to receive a gold medal
from that organization.
"The elements of construction of
the universe are the atoms OF
ninety-two different kinds" Bragg
told his audience.
"The first constructive step is the
assembling of atoms into molecules.
A molecule is a company Of atoms
in an association which has some
permanence great or small.
1.-THE number CT kinds of mole
cules is enormous. The water mole
cules consist of two atoms of n.y.
drogen and one of oxygen. The
molecule of ordinary salt contains
one atom of chlorine and one of
sodium; the molecule of an organic
substance is generally more compli-
Gated, as, for example, that of nap
thalene, which contains ten atoms
of carbon and eight of hydrogen.
IF the atoms are likened to the
letters Of the alphabet, the mole
culeS must be compared to words. ="

Properties

TT is the great aim Of scientific re-
Il search to connect the properties
of a substance with design Of its
construction, Bragg continued.
Ceases have the simplest design,
and the laws of gases are fairly well
understood" Bragg said.
Liquids come next, and we know
something of their laws also. In
particular we have learned much of
what happens when liquids of diff
ferent kinds are mixed together; we
have watched when molecules pull
each other to pieces and make
molecules of new patterns out of the
old.
'"This is the province of science
which we call chemistry. The
enormous advances in pure and ap-
piled science, for which chemistry
is responsible, show how great are
the results of research even in this
limited field.
'But when we come to solids we
have to admit that we know very
little indeed of the way in which
ther properties depend on their
composition.
1.-THE fact is that their properties
depend on the arrangement of the
molecules; these now have definite
positions, and the pattern of the
arrangement is all important.
There was very little of this in
liquids and none at all in gases. To
make Roadway we therefore must
learn the laws of arrangement.
Until recently this has not been
possible, and we have been unable
to enter field of research which
may well turn out to be the richest
of all fields. But the X-rays have
opened the door for u.s."
Bragg might have Stated-had not
his modesty prevented-that while
X-rays were the key which opened
the door, his was the hand which
held the key, for it was his re-
searches which made possible the
use of X-rays in the study Of the
structure of solids.

A S one who has jabbed and
IN swung as hard as I was able in
the general direction of Mayor
Walker, it seems 70 more than fair
for me to join in the general chorus
of praise which has greeted his
most recent appointment.
The selection of Joseph E. CORR
gan as chief city magistrate is more
than suitable-it's perfect.
It is well that New York and every
other city should realize the great
Importance of courts of first resort.
The term higher court" as applied
to bodies of appetite jurisdiction is
in a sense misleading.
The best way to get a case settled
satisfactorily is to have it judged
fairly and intelligently the first shot
out Of the bag.
This particular column fought
hard against the confirmation OF
Judge Parker for the supreme bench.
And it has no regrets. But, in all
truth, the composition of that au-
gust body is not likely to affect me
nearly as vitality or directly as the
composition of the magistrate courts
of the City of New York.
It Is highly unlikely that I ever
shall be a bred Scot to engage the
attention of Mr.. Hughes and his as
sociateS. But it is by no means i'm
possible that I shall be hailed be-
fore some magistrate one time or
another for speeding, parking or dis
orderly conduct.
And am prepared to say that it
is more difficult to find a man well
qualified to sit as magistrate than
to pick an eminent jurist who would
adorn the supreme bench.
