CONTINUED from Page u

"the international mind in the
ascendancy in the United States"
Butler is connected with the
endowment as president, chairman
Of its executive committee and
director of the Division of Inter
course and Education (Which
Tinkham describes as the propa.
ganda bureau of the endowment) u,
and Is also chairman of the Ad-
visory Council of the League of
Nations Association, Inc.
Tinkham said:
eff we can unmaSk these dis
loyal and SeditiOus persons we
will effectively disrupt this das-
tardly movement which has for
r. its objective the denatiOnaliza
,tiOn of the United States"
Representative Tinkham init
mated that present efforts Of the
Commission on Institutions Of
Higher Education. of the Middle
States Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools, to enforce a re-
cent regulation of the commission
among 110 institutions of learn
ing in New York, New Jersey,
pennsylvania, Delaware. and Mary
land, and in the District of Co
-1umbia, constitute a smoke screen
behind which certain un-American
autocratic, disloyal, seditious and
Subversive activities are carried
on. He said:
Sees Butler Touch
"Tt is entirely possible that
the efforts of the commission,
Of which one of Buffers sub
Ordinates, Prof. Adam Leroy
Jones, also of Columbia, is
chairman, constitute a smoke
screen for hidden activities.
1t Is difficult for any man to
believe that an institution which
gives aid to an athlete-Student
because he is an athlete-student
should. lose its rating as a
standard college and as an ap.
proved institution of higher
education. It is not difficult
for me to believe knowing as
well IS / do the ramificatiOns
of the movement to denatiOnal-
iZe this country that the fine
hand of Nicholas Murray Butler
may be 3een in this Middle
States Association"
The commission, of which Prof.
Jones is chairman, is a judicial
body which has announced that
It will exercise it's authority
through committee of four men,
Of which committee Prof. Jones
Is chairman, in the matter of the
regulation which makes ineligible
for inclusion in the approved or
preferred list of colleges in the
States indicated any member in
stitution which violates the regu-
lation pertaining to athletic
scholarships"
AutOcracy Charge
An agitation revolving around
what have been termed the ''un.
American and autocratic interpre-
tations" Of Prof. Jones commits
sion, in relation to the scholar
ship regulation, is said to have
attained the aspects Of revolt
by educators against those who
are alleged to advocate the "es-
tablishment and maintenance of
an educational autocracy."
This agitation took active form
recently at a New York meeting
of the commission when DR..
Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of
the George Washington Univer-
sity, served notice on Prof. Jones
that he (Marvin) will fight to
the, bitter end" for certain prin-
cip1eS which DR.. Marvin holds up
as American and democratic" in
opposition to the "un-American
and autocratic interpretations" Of
Prof. Jones commission.
Representative Tinkham OBJ
serves that "it is interesting and
may be instructive to note that
} the 1882 Year Book of the endow.
ment for peace contains this
statement:
'Tn 1882 it is hoped to as
Sist 5000 high schools and to
reach 100000 students"
Quotes From Book
He added:
'T might point out aIsO,"
that the 1892 Year Book of
the endowment for peace, on
Page 20, reads as follows:
a "'The national committee in
charge of the National Student
Forum is composed of approx
mately 300 state and city
superintendents of education,
high school principals and
teachers, editors of eduCa tiOnal
and religious organizations. In.
each state, there has been ap-
pointed a working committee
Of superintendents and high
school principals which pro-
notes the work of the Forum
in the high schools of the
, state ...'
II dareSay that the Con-
greSSiOnal Committee to be ap-
pointed under the terms of my
resolution shall find much food
for thought and action in the
idea of a correlation between
many of the organizations
mentioned and between DIR.
Butler, the CiSlOyal and sediti-
GUS movement for denatiOnaI-
iZatiOn, and certain of the nine
Carnegie Trusts, which have
= had some $235, 100000 with
which to pay the cost of
functiOning."
