SCIENCE.
BY DAVID DIETZ


Book by SeUen Psychologists
Aid to Layman IN Compre-
hension Of Difficult Sub
ject; Tells achievements
of Science.
PSYCHOLOGY is a much-dis-
l. cussed subject. so much dis
cussed, in fact, that the average
layman is a bit confused as to just
what it IS and just what it has ac-
compilshed. This has been inevitable
since psychology has split into so
many fields.
There is the Savant who regards
psychology as a gateway to the
secrets Of philosophy; there is the
I research worker who regards pSy-
chology as a branch of physiology;
here is the educational psychologist,
the industrial psychologist.
And unfortunately there is the
fringe of self-Styled psychologists,
running all the way from we'll
meaning but deluded souls, down to
positive quacks who fill lecture halls
with anxious individuals eager to
learn the secrets Of health, happi-
ness, success and wealth.
The intelligent layman therefore
will welcome the publication of
Psychology at Work" edited by
Paul S. Achilles. (The book is pub
lished by Whittlesey House at
$2.50O
In it, seven psychologists, each a
member of the faculty of a leading
American university. present an APP
praiSal of the more significant
achievements and aims of psychol-
ogy in a different field.
Each author, of course. has writ
ten about the particular field in
which he is an authority.

Lave you heard any one publicly

statement on boarding? Of course,
you haven't. But how about it in
private conversation?

such thing could happen without

broadway columnists reveal
D the fact that state of warfare
exists between Walter WinchelI and
Earl Carroll. I never have known
a conflict in which it was easier to
be neutral.
In shifting from the trivial to the
tragic, the situation in the east de-
mands, I think, a cooler sort of
judgment than Washington is eXer-
cising at the moment. I am pre-
pared to believe that everybody in
power is anxious to avert any par
ticipation on our part in hostilities.
Indeed, think there is no present
need to fly into a panic about the
possibility of our being involved.
Mass sentiment in America seems
solidly for peace. The country
shows as yet no tendency to be
stampeded.

HELD
STOCK JOBBER'

Activities Of the Paul w. Chap
man interests, operators of the
United States Lines, were called
a "stock jobbing scheme" by T. v.
O'Connor, chairman of the U. s..
Shipping Board, before the House
Merchant Marine Committee to-
day when it resumed its investiga-
ton of the boards activities.
The Chapman company pur-
chased the Leviathan and 10 other
Government sips from the board
for $16,000,000, and Immediately
offered stock in their company for
sale, based on a valuation of
$32, 900, 900, O'Connor said.
The outlay of the Chapman
Company for the U. S. Lines was
only $4,000, 900 cash, it was brought
out.
The stock-selling plan O'Connor
said, caused a committee named
by President Hoover to recon-
mend against the sale of the
American Diamond Line and the
American-France Line to the
Chapman Company.

tie of ballots with political ad-

Incomplete returns from yester'

Dealing With Mellon
Negotiations

The Senate Finance Commit
tee today unanimouly adopted
a resolution, offered by Sena-
tor Couzens (R.) of Michigan,
requesting Secretary of State
Stimson to furnish it with a
telegram d dealing with the
Barco oil concession in Colon
bia.
The committee took this action
after Stimson had sent for its
perusal, portions of four kilograms
from American Minister Jeffer-
son Caffery, stationed in Co
lumbia.
1t was testified recently before
the committee that Caffery wlr I'd
to the State Department sum-
mary of the views of President
Olaya, of Colombia, respecting the
rich Barco oil tract, for which
the Mellon interests were nego-
tiating.
Stimson has refused repeatedly
to make the contents of this tele.
gram public.
The committee will meet Mon
day to receive Stimson's reply.
A lette-' from Stimson delivered
by A. freeman Mathews, of the
State Department, said in part:
81 repeat that / am willing
for any member of the Senate
Committee to read in conf
dence any of the correspond
ence pertaining to matters re.
ferred to in the Senate resolu-
ton"
On March IL, Caffery wired the
State Department as follows:
President OlOya informed
me this morning that although
the budget had been reduced
and balanced as American
bankers had demanded, they
told him that they were unable
to send 100000 as they had
clearly promised"

the Democrats of his State

Senator Dill will urge the con-

'This twO-thirds rule is 100
years old and has served what
ever usefulness it might have
had. There is no reason why

pick the nominee for the preSi-

leaving for Seattle, where

Wrinkles Ironed Out; Hoover
$1,000, 100000 Bill Due
to Pass by Friday

The Administrations recon.
struction finance bill, setting
up a $2,OOO,OOO,OO0 Federal
corporation to ease the credit
situation, reached the final
stages of enactment this after
noon after congressional con-
| ferees reached a complete
agreement on all differences
between the House and Senate
bills.
The last controversy was set
tied when House conferees agreed
to strike out a provision permit
ting loans to bonafide financial
institutions.
This provision was fought by
Senate conferees, who assailed it
as a "joker" which would permit
the privately operated National
Bankers Credit Corporation to
unload it's debts on the Federal
Corporation
To Hoover BY friday
The conferees this afternoon
will begin drafting the comprom'
fse bill. Senator Walcott (R0 Of
Connecticut, conference chair
man, said this work might keep
the conferees busy until tonight,
but that the bill would be re-
ported to the Senate tomorrow.
In that event it will reach Presi'
dent Hoover for his signature
Friday.
Three mportant decisions
reached by the conferees were to
include q special $50, 1000, 900 fund
for loans to individual farmers,
authorization Of loans to insolvent
banks and the elimination of a
House provision making the cor
poration's proposed $500, ,000, 900
bond issue rediscountable by the
Federal Reserve Board.
Instead of the latter, the bill
will authorize the Treasury to
purchase the bonds.
Will Draw Per Cent
A proposal to make the bonds
the paSis for issuance of national
bank notes was dropped when
Administration lea ders pointed
out it would require an amend
ment to the Liberty Loan act.
The corporations bonds will
draw 4 per cent interest while
the Liberty Loan act limits the
issuance of bank notes to bonds,
drawing but per cent. Separate
legislation may be sponsored later
to permit the currency issue.

business, he said.
Not a Consumers Tax
He said the Canadian sales tax
is a manufacturers tax, not re.
tailers or consumers tax. He
added:
zone of the great objections
to the sales tax, that is, pyra-
miding the tax, is effectively
eliminated. 1t is accomplished
by licensing manufacturers and
stamping articles, which pre-
vents the taxes from being
added to in transactions. Practi-
cally all raw matericl and
many small manufacturers are
exempted"
He said merchants do not ad-
vertise the tax on an article. The
manufacturer, he said, pays it
and adds it to his price.
Mr.. Alvord. formerly executive
secretary to Secretary Mellon, in
dorsed the approval of the SyS-
tenn as given by DR.. Adams. He
said one advantage of the tax
was that if the Government
wanted to raise, say $400, ,000, 900.
a sales tax would be written that
could do it, as there is not as
much fluctuation as in the other
taxes.
