It was precipitated by Sir Henri's expressed indignation over contracts entered into by Stan- dard for Russian oil. which Deterd Ing called buying stolen property" since the wells had been confiscateJ rom their former owners by the Sovicts. 4 truce was arranged in March a year ago.

By CORA HARRIS Occupant of the "Chair of Evil" Rollins Collegc)

Written For the United Press
 Winter Park, Fla, Feb. 22.-I once suggested to President Hamil- ton Holt of Rollins college that every college should have a course in evil as an important part of the education of young people.
 Evil" l said, lis one of the old est classics of human nature, and it is usually taught on the sly by the mentally illterate and morally ire sponsible. Thus students do not get q proper perspective on evil and it's effect on human character and hu- man history. but a very narrow and vicious knowledge of it as a popu- lar vice.
 My contention from the beginning, however, was that only a reasona- hly Virtuous person should teach this course. Solomon. in my opinion. would never qualify for this busi- ness. He had the horrible wisdom but the bitterness of his experience in evil makes him one of the most intelligent but depressing of all au- thortics on this subject Evil should be taught the young as one teaches an ancient art designed 10 become obsolete.
