PRINCETON'S PRESIDENT

Princeton, like Harvard, turns
to its OWE staff for the new presi-
dent of the old university.
DR.. Harold Willis Dodds, rum
ored, upon competent authority, to
be the probable choice of the trus-
tees, is a young man for SO respon-
sible a position, not yet a. years
of age. Not a scientist, like the
next president of Harvard, DR..
Dodds is professor of politics. He
started his teaching career as an
instructor in economics. If he is
chosen president of Princeton, IT
will mark another break with the
old tradition of having a clergy
man or a professor of language or
the arts as the head of a college.
The sciences and economics are the
outstanding studies of our tine,
and it is significant that Harvard
and Princeton should be recogniz-
ing their importance.

ONE KIND OF A C o

The big fish story of the year ha'
come in. And, unlike most of it.
predecessors, it has nothing to dc
with the fish that got away.
DR.. George B. Pierce of New
Jersey has just returned from New
Zealand, where, in 49 days of angl-
ing for swordhsh and shark, he
caught a total of 1859 pounds
He had his catch certified, so that
no n could say that it was jus,
another tall story.
Half a century or so ago, hunt
ers in the West used to keep records
of the number of animals and birds
they could kill in a week. We dc
not do that any more. 1t is regarded
a poor sort of sportman,hip. This
story from New Zealand mikes it
seem possible hat something will
to be done to DISCOURAGE peo-
pie who go out for wasteful ang-
ling records.

A LONG SERVICE

The United States Senate has
Just paid its farewell tributes to a
remarkable man, Theodore F.
Shuey, who died a few days ago
,fter IS years as official reporter
for that body. He was SS years
old.
The wonderful thing about Mr.
Shuey's service: is that he had never
been absent a day in all of it. From
the time of President Johnson, and
encompassing the administrations
of IS Presidents, his work was done
with a regularity that to the aver
age human being would seem ap-
palling. He knows his business.
Senator Robinson said for him in an
little address that This re-
cord is remarkable not alone for his
service but for his notable and
exceptional efficiency" 1t is not
probable that Washington will see
his like again.

We can't explain a lot of things
which we have to take on faith.
Don't ask us to explain radio or
television or even the talking pic
lures. We don't have to explain
them. There they are. And we be-
,ieve that we are on the verge of a
greater and more glorious civiliza-
ton than we have ever known.
Please don't ask us to explain that,
either. Pretty soon, we are sure,
everybody will be able to- see it.
Nobody has ever been able to
stop an Edison or a Ford or a Mar
conf. There are hundreds of young
iEdisons just waiting their chance
to ~startle the world. Some of them
will turn everything of today up
side down, as their predecessors did.
We are going to have a new
economic order, beyond doubt;
but if it results in giving every
body a chance to buy the things he
wants, isn't it going to be better
than a system which does lot pro-
vide customers enough for what
we produce?
We really believe that the young
people of this day are justified in
ooking ahead to a time when any
human being who really wants
anything can have it. And that's
'somep'n,' as Andy says.

LOOKING FORWARD

Business is starting up again
That is clear and definite. Men are
looking ahead and not backwards.
And it is our belief that we are 60
ing ahead into better. times than
we have ever known. That has
been the history of every past re-
covery. The deeper the depression,
the higher the heights reached aft
er the depression has been passed.
Don't ask us how it is going to
be accomplished. We have little
patience with people who want
precise plans and specifications be-
fore they will believe that things
Can be done. There is an element
of faith which is, after all, the
chief moving force in human af-
fairs; and at the moment people
are regaining faith in the future of
their country at a rate which sur
prises us.
We hear many different explana-
tlons of how things will be done
under the 'New Deal" We new
er seen a human project work out
as planned. But we, too have faith.
