NEW YORK, Jan. 2o.-It was
IN unnecessary for Premier Laval
to remind the world that France
would not consent to cut in Ger
man reparations, unless granted a
corresponding cut in her own debts,
and would not diSarm, unless given
guarantees of security.
That has been the French po-
sition all along.
After twelve years of reiteration,
there is no excuse for misunder-
standing it.
France adopted very simple Ind
very human formula at the con-
clusion of the war. 1t included
little but making the best possible
use of victory for France.

DEOPLE sometimes scott at the
l. power of the press, but the
embattled editors now can point
with pride to one achievement.
They have managed to get the Della
ware and George Washington out
of the cellar of the Metropolitan
Museum in New York.
At least, the museum heads have
promised to let Leutze'S picture
see the light again for a little
while. This favor is to be a sort
of bicentennial birthday present
for the Father of His Country.
AS the tumult abates must ex-
plain my hardness in joining the
fray. The fact is felt both sides
were wrong. Unfortunately this
happens to be my sincere opinion
concerning many conflicts, and I
am beginning to find my little
house in no mans land no better
that a hermit's hut.

Mr., BRYAN on Art

TOHN REED once interviewed
y William Jennings Bryan and
asked him to name his favorite
painting. 1.-The Madonna and Child, .
ventured Mr.. Bryan.
But, you know, there are a num-
ber," Reed objected. Which do
you mean?"'
ANY Madonna and Child"
answered Mr.. Bryan with that
touch of universally which made
him great political leader.
1t seems to me that even a
patriot has a right to pick and
choose among his Washingtons,
rejecting some and acclaiming
others. Decatur's injunction should
not be extended to read "The artist
right or wrong"
But the museum authorities took
no such ground in explaining the
exile Of the canvas. In the press, at
any rate, they advanced the argu-
ment that the picture was not his
torically accurate. And here,
think, they introduced a point quite
as irrelevant as patriotism. Neither
accuracy nor sweet intent is the es-
sential motivation of a MASTER
piece.
I have heard it said that George
Washington did not stand up in
the boat and that Leutze painted
his sword upon the wrong side. A
photographer, of course would
have made neither mistake. But
this was before the days of flash

DUT please consider the folly Of
ID the arguments advanced by
the combatants in this case. On
the one hand, many editors as
serted that it was unpatriotic to
put a picture of George Washing
ton in the cellar.
1t showed, they said, a disre-
spect for our first President. But
any such rule would hamper his

a word against it under penalty Of

MYTH all this clearly in mind,
w shall we rail at France for
playing a steady, clever game, or
admit that we have been dumb, and
quit the silly tickle, vaporous atti-
tude that has left us open to every
kind Of trick?
We are pretty sore right now,
which means that we are likely to
make still worse mistakes if we
aren't careful.
Congress has shown it's temper by
adopting useless resolution in op-
position to. the reduction, or cam
collation. of war debts, and Presi-
dent Hoover has displayed equally
poor Judgment by declining to send
an observer to Lausanne.
Such moves are childish. We're
in the soup, and we can't expect
to get out of it by sulking in the
corner Our cue is to take hold
of the problem in a firm, unemo-
tional way, and look for solution
which will be to our own advantage
with the same singleneSs of pur-
pose that France has displayed.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Under economic
conditions which the panic stricken
country is passing through, millions
out of employment and thrown on
charity for support, and thousands
of tax-ridden people losing their
homes and driven out of business,
the laborer is almost a thing of the
past.
He walks the streets day after day
seeking work to support his depend
ents, but there is nothing for rim.
These are crime breeding condi-
tons. Every Office holder in Indiana
from the Governor down to the
holder of the least important Office,
draws too much salary for these
conditions.
Every officer should do his bit, be
patriotic and d-blooded enough to
return half of his salary to the
treasury or donate it to the unem-
ployed benefit fund.
What is the cause of all this po-
litical greed and graft? To get some
thing for nothing? We have public
officials serving now in our court
house as our servants, drawing more
than So an hour for every hour they
actually serve.
When a man is elected to public
office, he is expected to perform his
duty as the servant of the public,
but as soon as he takes his seat in
his swivel chair, he automatically
becomes a dictator, and the public
becomes his servant.

Brain Patterns Formed

THE brain is known to be
l. great mass of neurons or nerve
cells-millions of them.
Direct experiment and obServa-
ton of disease and accident has
revealed certain things about the
brain.
There are, for example, definite
localities which seem to control
definite activities. Thus certain

is concerned with vision.
Another area is concerned with
hearing, another with taste, an
other with smell, and so on.
This, however, does not answer
the question of what the nature OF
consciousness is. Certain authori-
ties, among them Professor Leon
ard T. Trolland, have suggested
that consciousness is an electro
magnetic pattern in the brain.
It is known that the, currents
which flow in nerves are electrical
in nature. more exactly, electro
chemical.
These currents, flowing into the
brain cells, may be assumed to
cause differences in electrical po-a
tentials, accumulation of minute
electric charges at different places,
and so on.
The result, so Trolland and others
think, is the setting up of an cleo
tro-magnetic pattern which they
think is consciousness.
DR.. Boring thinks that we can,
study certain relationships between
the brain and consciousness and
thus arrive at a better understand
ing of both the nature Of con-
seriousness and the processes which
go on in the brain. He would have

Regarding consciousness, he says
that we may assign it four dimen-
sions first suggested by kitchener.
He defines these as quality, inten-
sity, extensity, and the temporal
dimension which kitchener calls
PROPENSITY
In other words, we find in cons
seriousness quality, intensity, a sense
of space, and a sense of time.

Brain Consciousness, He
Says, has. -Four Dimensions.
.VXTHAT goes on within the brain7
w How are events in the brain"
related to the sensations OF con-
seriousness? Those are two Of the
most batting questions facing psy-
biologists today.
A new theory concerning them
was recently advanced by Professor
Edwin G. Boring, the famous psy-
chologist of Harvard university.
Professor Boring points out that
in psychology, we deal with plAe-
nomena which may be localized into
three divisions First there are the
sense organs. Secondly. there is
the brain. Third, there is CON-
seriousness.
The sense organs pick up stimuli
from the outside world Rays of
light strike the eye, sound-waves
beat upon the ear-orums, ana so
on.
These various sense-organS are
activated by stimuli from the out
side world and in their turn set
certain nerves into action. Nerve
currents, electro-chemical in nature,
travel along the nerves. They enter
the brain.
AS a result, certain concepts
emerge in consciousness. The sound
waves become sounds, perhaps
music, perhaps noise. The rays of
light are united into images Of the
outer world.
The question involved, however, is
that of what the brain actually
does. What is the actual nature
of the phenomena, the events-to
use Professor Behring'S term-in the
brain?

French FineSSee

TN the confusion that has reigned
Il since Versailles, French finesse
stands out as a shining example
of what the leaders of a nation
can do by keeping their feet on
the ground and their heads clear.
With the possible exception of
Russia, France lost more in the
war than any allied country. One
fifth Of her territory had been de-
vastated, her treasury had been
drained and her borrowing power
exhausted, not to mention the
frightful toll Of life.
1t was taken for granted that
France would find recovery diff
cult, and the idea assiduously was
cultivated by her own hired propa-
gandists.

A Generous World

THE whole world was delighted
4 to help France reconstruct her
devastated areas" to let her de-
fault on payment of her debts,
while she collected to the limit
from Germany, to make no de-
mands for money. though she had
plenty to spare for Poland and
operations in Asia Minor.
The world even loaned Germany
money in order that Germany
could pay France. thus creating a
situation which enabled France to
raid the gold reserves of England
and the United States.
At the very moment Premier
Laval was over here telling his
troubles to President Hoover,
French bankers quietly we're set
ting the stage for still another raid,
and it is justif1able to assume that
they were doing so with the hope
of causing the same kind of a 1inan-
cial disturbance in New York that
they previously had caused in
London.
