Prussia was due to the Prussian cleo
toral system, which gave the franchise
to the smallest minority in the state
their own. To wage the war in Lydia,
Giolitti had instituted universal suf-
frage in Italy; the Prussians waged the
whole of the World War with an cleo
toral law which even conservative Ger
mans had defined unhesitatingly as
scandalous That law did not disap-
pear until the fall of the Hohenzollerns
And the Gutsbezirke, constituting as
they did real administrative entities and
thereby turning each Junker into a
small feudal sovereign in his respective
domain, lasted down until 1925.
Needless to say, the Junkers harped
upon the part they had played in the
defense of the Fatherland for long
time with great skill. Probably in all
good faith-it is so easy to believe what
it is convenient for one to believe
they ended by identifying the defense
of their caste with the safeguarding of
Prussia, of Germany. Were they not
the heirs Of the pioneers of. German
ism in the East? Were they not the
keepers of the borders against the Slav
surge? This, however, failed to pre-
vent them from driving the German
peasants away from German borders
with their starvation wages. The junk
ers then replaced the departed Ger
mans with Poles, whom they ceased to

hate as soon as they discovered that the
Poles cost less as hired workmen.
The reconstruction of Polish repub-
lie was a boon to the Junkers; and,
even more so, the real dangers which
the Polish Corridor carried.
The defense against the Polish dan
ger" industry, in which the Junkers Of
Eastern Prussia had become past mas
ters, soon aroused the envy of the land
owners in all the other provinces which
happened to border on Poland. And,
although the lords of Eastern Prussia
sought to remain the sole accredited
defenders of Germanism, similar titles
finally had to be granted to the Junk
ers of Pomerania and of the GrenZ-
mark.
1t soon became grotesque: The Junk
ers Of Oldenburg desired to be just as
patriotic-was there not a Dutch dan

Wallas, now regrettably neglected, Of
the possibilities Of really great

for light on the great instrument
democracy was to make Of education
and to the social psychologists and

The present generation of undergrad
uates has turned with feverishneSs
rather than with mere eagerneSS to the
possibilities of an ameliorative social
science and to a consideration of the
fundamental economic and social ques-
tons involved in our civilization and in
world civilization They have turned
with persistent small hope nourished
by fear, growing and great.
The undergraduate of 20 years ago,
in the midst Of an order that was COM
Portable and apparently permanent,
looked forward to world that might
be more comfortable, more beautiful,
more pleasant than the world which, for
that middle class to which most stu
dents belonged, had its own pleasures.
comforts and conveniences. What was
equally important, the undergraduate
in those days, though he might be un-
certain as to Just what his future was,
had the plausible conviction that there
was some future in store for him.
There were the settled paths Of business
and the professions in which older men
he knew and respected were becoming
examples of the success to which he
could plausibly aspire.
The thoughtful undergraduate of the
present generation has-as who, indeed,
has not-a very different set of provo
cations to reflection upon the future of
the society in which his life is to be
lived. The world about him, the people
he knows. very likely his own family,
are no longer living in comfortable
though imperfect condition. The situa-
ton may be illustrated by passage In

SAYS COUNT CARLO STORZA,
TIME old Prussian Junkers, the pow
erful stock from which Bismarck
and Room and Moltke came, seem
Il to have reconquered, all over
Germany, their power of yore.
They may have lots Of faults, but at
least they do not lack certain amount
of frankness. Was not their old motto:
"Sei der Konig obsolut, dass er unser n
Willen tut!" LET the King be absolute,
so that he may do our will?"
The phenomenon of the return to
power of the Junkers deserves to be
studied not only because 1t is important
in itself, but because it Is almost unique
in present-day Europe. Indeed, except
in Hungary where power is wholly in
the hands of the aristocrats and the
gentry, nowhere Is there any trace lett
of the political influence Of noblemen
as a class. In Austria it disappeared
with the war; in Spain 1t Is drawing to
an end; in Italy it never existed. But
Hungary, save for the short period dur
ing which Michael Karolyi held power
and the short-ived Communist convul-
sion which succeeded him, has always
been in the hands of magnates.
Condition in Germany.
In Germany, on the contrary, there
first was a co-domination Of big In
dustry and landed property and after
that an apparently growing influence
in the power of the Socialists.
For centuries before the war the
Junker lords, who had been the masters
of landed property In Prussia. had re-
manned true to the instincts of their an
cestor knights until what was develop
ing as the peoples soul In Prussia had
become as alien to the Junker lords as
the despised Baltic populations were to
the feudal lords Of Esthonia and Lthu-
ANA. ~
And then, more recently, the Frussian
annexations in the west, and the de-
velopment of industry in old and new
Prussia, had rendered even more un-
natural and unwarranted the political
pre- -eminence of class whose ideas had
not altered for centuries. But this
Junker class had military qualities; it
gave cadets to the king for the admin
istration Of the state. So the system
continued strong. The day Bismarck
declared 1t wotffd be wise to have the
presidency of the cabinet in Prussia re-
served exclusively to Junkers 1t was not
only his Junker blood speaking In him;
he also was voicing his conviction that
a Junker-even poor Junker--was a
better ruler than bourgeois who had
ripened in universities.
The ability of the Junkers to preserve
their real or supposed superiority in

to have resulted in twice as heavy a
load for the mass of the German popu-
lation as that imposed by the repara-
tions under the Young plan. And this
does not take into account the untold
losses that have been incurred by Ger
man business as a result Of the great
decrease in eXports-a decrease that is
mainly due to the crazy protectionism
which the Junkers have compelled all
the poSt-war German cabinets to in
crease steadily.
Blamed for Disorganization.
It is more than probable that history
one day will tell how the absurd and
/ desperate attempt of the Junkers to
galvanize the corpse of the agrarian
Middle Ages into life in Prussia and
especially in Eastern Prussia, was one
Of the causes most responsible for the
disorganization of Germany.
If the dogma and love of private
property seem more inherently bound
up with the very nature of France than
any other European country, 1t Is due
mainly to the spontaneous renuncia-
| ton by the French mobiles of their
ancient privileges at the beginning OF
the French Revolution.
They thought they were being gen.
erous: but really they we're far-seeing
| and wise.
And though the Junkers think they
have been protecting their interests
they probably are preparing a tragic
awakening for themselves.
Declared Wrecks"
That is why, despite the power the
Junkers have succeeded in reconQuer-
| ing, they are like the Socialists, the
wrecks of German life. Even more sc
than the Socialists. The Socialists
have lacked courage and men worthy
to be leaders; one may recover from
that. The Junkers are like the Bour-
bons; they have mi rien oublie nj rier

anything. That is much more serious
1t was Bismarck who remarked one
day:
"If ever a future generation of Ger
mans becomes republican it will be
for lack of kings, certainly not fol
lack of royalists." =
And the more one studies the doing:
of the German Socialists, the clearer
becomes the truth of this boutade.

lently to the left. They insist, pre-
cisely as some older and less warm
blooded elders insist, that the tradi-
tonal capitalist economy has broken
down so far that nothing is possible
save completely new deal. That new
deal they conceive largely in terms of
a cooperative, a communized society
whose image they derive, however ir-
relevantly, from Russia, and whose
philosophy they take, however dog
matically, from Karl Marx
Between these two groups lies that
large phalanx who think that within
the framework of the present system
there may be developed planned econ
omy in which social engineering may
bring some order out of the present So
cial chaos-not another hysterical boom
but sober national wellbeing.
From the point of view of the edu-
Gator and the social observer, it does
not matter SO much which of these
directions of undergraduate thought is
the most sound or fruitful. The Strik-
ing and encouraging thing is that once
more-and I think for the first time
in two decades-the literate section of
the student body is displaying an in
terest, generous, eager and absorbed,
in the amelioration of that social order
of which in 20 years the best, or at
least, the most competent of them, are
going to be leaders.
The period of cheap adolescent
cynicism (an adolescent cynicism con-
fined, during the postwar years, not
exclusively to adolescents) is over.
Over, too, are the years of retreat to
the Ivory Tower, when it became a
fashion to make relatively piddling
absorption in amateur connoisseurship
Of etchings and chamber music an ex-
cuse for forgetting that there was q
major world with major problems to
be solved.
There are beginning to be prospects,
then, that the American student body,
in its saving and central core of eager
and intelligent youth, may begin to
take its part as the intellectual leaven
of democracy. 1t does not matter that
much of its thinking is crude and
much of its feeling boyish. The crudity
and the boyishness require only time
to be cured. But it does matter pro-
foundly that the current college gen.

BY ERWIN EDMAN.


THE writer has had an opportunity
to observe the student mind
since those pastoral days of
1914, when he, with other eager
and serious minded SophomoreS,
was looking forward to the Utopia
that intelligence and good will were to
bring into the world. In those days 1t
was bliss to be alive, and, to vary the
quotation, it was to be at least in
prospect of heaven. Society was to be
a cooperative, scientifically organized
Utopia in which, in addition to all the
most convenient gadgets and the most
comfortable leisure extended to all,
science-how We all believed in science
then-was to resolve all our difficulties
and insure all our happiness. Death even
could be made remote and perhaps i'm
possible, and even broken hearts might
be organized and legislated into impos-
sibility. There was, it is true, war
going on in Europe, but it would be
over in few weeks and, anyway, Eu-
rope, to an American sophomore OF
that period, seemed nearer 10000 than
5000 miles away.
As a teacher of undergraduates for
the last Is years I have had the oppcr-
tunity to observe several generations of
undergraduates must be remembered
that college generation Is four years
long-and to note the changing winds
of doctrine that have controlled the
imagination and animated the spirit of
that relatively small but important
number who constitute the dominant
one and give significance to any passing
generation of college boys.
The opinions and the passions, not
al 1xffnN Rlnn n Nf hi
full are important symptoms. They re-
fleet. in the first place, the passing
more adult scene 1t Is little bit silly
and anachronistic to speak, at least in
the larger universities, of the cloistered
college walls. The students-I am al
ways speaking of the literate ones
read newspapers and magazines and
contemporary novels and contemporary
eccnomics-and so do their professors.
The world Is (perhaps) too much with
them. for if they do not live among
the eternities in youth, they never will.
But the world is with them. And be-
cause they are not vet involved in the
commitments OF family or a profess
sion they can Judge the world and
survey it with an innocence of expert
ence that has the compensating merit
of detachment.
Intellectual Climate Revealed.
There is a second sense in which the
opinions Of the saving minority Gin
whom the teacher Is at heart always
most interested are important symp-
toms. They indicate, II not always too
reliably, what the intellectual climate
Is going to be like in the next decade.
What these students think in their i'm

animsting and underlying set of pas
sions or prejudices-for life. 1t is not
without its prognostic import to ascer-
tain what they are thinking.
The most striking fact to the OBJ
server is the resemblance-with a
| difference soon to be noted-oetween
the generation that was at college just
before and during the war and the
generation that Is now at college dur
ing the great depression. For the frst
time in twenty years almost every un-

fessor was trying, without success, to
keep the minds of his students on the
feasts in Homer, while the students,
themselves, as well as the professor,
were starving for bread.
We are not in state of war and
most students are not Starving-though
I have known a few of late who were
none too we'll nourished But it Is not
to be expected that students living in
the midst Of the most serious economic
crisis that the country has ever known
should not be affected by it. 1t would
be surprising, in the face Of the misery
and uncertainty that are apparent all
about them, if these students should not
have their thoughts concentrated upon
the possibilities not so much Of personal
salvation as of social salvage. They
cannot but be affected by the symptoms,
perceivable even to the least alarmist,
that the organization of social and eco
nomic life, and with 1t the spiritual
and cultural life of the country. is soon
going to be something very different
from that which their fathers and elder
brothers knew and expected to endure,
with some Improvements, forever.
Warned Away From Professions.
Nor is their fear merely platonic
They hear enough in the papers and at
home about 1t in the class to which
most of them belong and hope to con-
tinue to belong. They know recent
graduates of law schools by the score
who have no chance of job. They are
warned of the academic field by their
teachers, and medical men assure
them there is no place for them in
medicine. If they listen to their more
alarmist elders they may be persuaded
they are at least having forced upon
their consciousness-the possibility OF
such serious dislocation of the present
order that those professions, in the
course Of which they looked forward to
comfortable stages of professional ad-
vancement and success may not be
open to them at all. The obvious break
down of contemporary economic and
social machinery as well as their own
personal clouded futures make then
concern about the future of American
civilization something less than SurpriS-
ing, something less than artificial.
There is another difference, primary
and arresting, between the social
thought and passions of the serious
student of today and Of his predecessor
of 20 years ago. The solutions for the
difficulties which he finds are more
violent as those difficulties themselves
are more violent and intense. Twenty
years ago the young visionary thought

them feel that something must be done
that a strong hand is necessary. That
strong hand they are likely. like some
of theiS seniors, to conceive as die

ness. Or the current tragic economic
