School OF Diplomacy

Another sign of the times is the proposal
of the National League of Masonic Clubs
to establish school in Washington to train
men for diplomatic service. The project
grows out of two diplomatic professorships
already existing in George Washington
University, which would be used as the
nucleus of the new institution. Diplomacy
is more important today than ever before.
1t steadily gains in scope and requirements
as the world grows together and interna-
tional problems become more complex.
Whether we like it or not, there will be
more intercourse between nations right along.
more things to adjust, more international
machinery to manage.
Some old-fashioned diplomats will say
that schools are unnecessary, that the way to
learn diplomacy is to start in the service and
work up, learning the necessary things as
you go. That has been said, at some time
or other of nearly every profession and oe-
eupation. The tendency in all lines is
strongly toward institutions for special in
struction, which will teach fundamentals
and principles and avoid routine and red
tape. The old diplomacy is dying out.
There may we'll be a fresh start for the new.

Speaking of recent developments at Wash

cal economy in Western Reserve University.
says: mo similar period in our history
has been SO crowded with legislation. This
legislation has included attempts to provide
employment. substitution of government
credit for private credit. attempts to increase
commodity prices and, most important of
all. the intangible psychological effort to
show courage and to impart courage where
fear has reigned.
Mental attitude may really be more vital

The nation has lost its morale. 1t was yield

very expensive monosyllable, it was sunk.
Now it is rising, under the lifting power Of
new self-confidence. This spirit is the
most inflatonary force now at work in
America. Courageous faith is the best and
safest form of initiation.

Where Youth Is
Doomed To Lose

Little Man - What Now" by
Hans Fallada pictures the plight
| of Germany in terms of the heart
aches and disappointments suffered
by likeable little German book
keeper and his wife.
1t tells the story of young johann
mes Pinneberg and his wife, Bum
ny-tells 1t with tenderness and
| humor-and when you have f1nisn-
ed 1t you understand perfectly just
what the postwar depression has
done to Germany.
Pinneberg begins his career as
bookkeeper in a small Baltic city
where he marries the girl Bunny
and begins married life, so to
speak, on a shoestring. He loses his
| lob. and II Is q catastrophe;, then,
by O great stroke of fortune, he
gets a job as mems clothing sales
man in big Berlin department
store.
The pay is microscopic. the con-
ditions Of work are had. At last
this Job, too; vanishes and no
other can be found. Slowly and
steadily, Pinneberg and Bunny sink
down to the bottom of the scale;
and Herr Falada makes you UNDER
stand thta they are beaten simply
because, the postwar world being
what It IL. certain percentage OF
bright and likeable youths who de-
serve to win must be beaten. The
cards are stacked against them
from the start.
The picture isn't drawn In solid
blacks. Pinneberg and Bunny have
their little joys, their moments Of
ecstasy. They are innocent and
brave and they smile when they
can. They fail because tn eworid

.Demoralizinr" MONEY

Money in itself cannot be tainted" ac-
cording to the phrase of the first Roosevelt.
being good or evil according to the way it
is used. But money has strange effects on
people. President Nicholas Murray Butler
of Columbia University says. in notable
commencement address: Control of money
and constant association with money is per-
haps the most demoralizing of human oe-
equations. Small wonder that in the ancient
world it was thought to be fit occupation
for slavesl There is something about this
contact and control which obscures moral
principles and human values. and tends to
develop a stiffly legalistie attitude toward
every human relationship. This contact
and control are uniformly accompanied by
secretiveness, and secretiveness without any
actual falsehood whatever is one of the most
effective instruments of deceit"
This is pretty strong language, and will
get under the hides of good many people
who deal in money or possess money. Yet
the general truth of it is suggested not only
by ordinary experience, but by current reve-
lations of high finance. Properly con-
sidered the psychology of finance is surely
strange, when broad human values are con-
sidered and financiers are curious class.
Shall we ever get away from this domination
of mere money and its use for private gain
rather than social service? Will financial
credit cease to be virtual monopoly and be-
come a public utility available to all on
equal terms?

Connecticut should be interested in the
creation of national park at Morristown,
New Jersey. A new estate has just been Of
fered to the government by c. w. McAlpin
adjoining that already acquired in the his
toricaly famous Jockey Hollow. The reason
why this state should be interested is due
to the fact that the McAlpin tract includes
the land where two brigades of Connecticut
soldiers encamped during the Revolutionary
War There was a cantonment OF lZ,OO0
men at Morrstown during the period that
the Connecticut soldiers entrained there. 1t
also includes the land on which stood the
house that was chosen as headquarters for
General Mad Anthony Wayne. There is
SO much historical lore connected with this
section of New Jersey that we wonder that
it wasn't acquired some time ago for park
or reservation purposes. When we think OF
what the government has done with many
of the Civil War backgrounds, notable
that at Gettysburg, we certainly feel that
the Revolutionary War fields certainly are
entitled to more respect and conservation.
New York state has done some noteworthy
work in this respect with its retaining OF
the land over which the crucial battle OF
Saratoga was fought Called one of the de-
cisive battles of the world it is only right
that it should be commemorated in hitting
fashion. But SO should all others related to
that dim distant encounter when our indie
pendence was achieved.

Crowded Professions

Among those professions which least
seem to need new entrants are medicine,
teaching. dentistry and the law. Yet these
four are the ones chosen by most students
Of Long Island University where recent
survey was made. 1t is safe to say that they
hold this lead in almost all colleges.
DR.. E. j. Sparkling of Columbia Univer-
sity examined 888 students on the subject
of their vocational aspirations Many OF
them expect to earn two. three and four
times as much money as they possibly can.
Many are looking forward to professions
involving subjects in which their grades are
low. Men want to be doctors whose grades
will not admit them to any first class medi-'
cal school.
Others seem entirely regardless of the
racial and religious prejudices which are
certain to be used against them in their
chosen professions, instead of choosing voea-
tions in which they can be happy and use
full without stirring up trouble from these
sources. What causes all these discrepancies
in vocational thinking?
One reason is that parents SO often press
children into professions for which they
have no innate fitness because of faneied
social prestige attaching to them. Another
Is that these young people are just naturally
bazy about the future. When asked what
they are preparing for they think they have
to make some kind of choice. The chances
are that at the first sign of a possible joi
rom any source they will drop these delus-
ions of grandeur about the learned profess
s;ons, take the job and let life lead them as
Il will.
There will be new professions in this new
world-nor only in science but in public
srrvice Of various kinds. The students OF
TIL next five years may well give thought
20 some Of these matters.

An Urgent Appeal

Reading the letter that DR. Horace d.
Taft. headmaster of Taft school at Water
town, sent to Lucius F. Robinson, Jr., OF
Hartford with regard to the vote next week
on the repeal amendment we wonder that he
did not in the course of 1t expand on his
reasons for deserving the cause OF prohibition.
DR. Taft was at one time as outspoken tor
prohibition as today he is opposed. We
make this statement in the face of the fact
that he claims in his letter that Il was never
a prohibitionist - By this he means he
probably was not identified with dry groups
although he did support their theories.
1t was year ago, if we are not mistaken,
that DR. Taft decided that he was supporting
cause in vain. But in his letter to MIR Rob-
inson he says, Il cannot imagine what OPP
ponents of the repeal think they can gain
by their opposition -" Here is an excellent
chance for DIR Taft to acquaint the public
with what he, as an opponent OF repeal
would expect to gain by continuing to OPP
pose it. 1t is rather difficult for many of US
who have fought against prohibition from
the very beginning to figure out the attitude
of drys.
DIR Taft has the advantage of having first
shown some adherence to the dry cause and
latterly an overwhelming sympathy with
what we are prone to refer to as true tenn
peranee. that is, control of liquor manufae-
ture and sale by the several states. We know
that anything he might say in this respect
would go long ways toward breaking
down the barrier that now exists between
your true dry and wet. And there should
be some common meeting ground where
differences of opinion might be Strengthened.
1t is through men of DR. Taft's type who
have seen the failure of prohibition and
realized that what they sought is unob-
tainablc along these lines that we may even
tually come to the true solution of the en-
tire liquor problem.
