 In his Savannah speech the President answered the modern Tories who object to experiment in government today just the Tories of 1776 at- tackled the changes out of which nation grew. He proudly pleaded guilty to the charge of the doubting Thomases that he is experimenter who has faith in the pioneering spirit

 It is understandable that the business who continues to believe in rugged indvidualsm" finds it hard to adjust himself to the philosophy embodied in NRA for instance. Permit us to sug- gest, however, that before he devotes himself to the task of wrecking the Presidents program, he consider these facts

 And while this was going on, Prohibition started it's funeral march. .e < ss$ss " hs'- sGsas~s <
 All of this means that spirit of change is abroad in this country
 Franklin D. Roosevelt is keen politician and is particularly apt in reading the public mind It is altogether likely that if he swerves from the path he is treading, his course will be to the left.
 So it to that the rugged indivdualist' is called upon to decide whether he will accept MIRA, thing which he does not like, whether he prefers to accept something which he likes less.

about the same time.
 Agrarian Districts Heard From
 Unrest with the rise and fall of the value of the monetary unit has been a feature of almost every serious financial strlngency usually most vocal in agrarian dis tricts.
 And now President Roosevelt has declared for a policy of "ex- perimentation," with the sound money" group warning that prev ious experiments always have end ed in disaster and that tlie gold standard is the best system yet to be found.
 On the other hand, Prof. George F. Warren says the dollar must be rubber in weight or rubber in value, and urges the compensated, or commodity dollar that would be variable in weight. Presidents Program Sweeping
 In successive steps the Presi- dent has gone off the international gold standard, acted against gold hoarders, cancelled the gold clause in the public and private securi- ties, rejected the pleas of the European gold bloc" for stabili- zation, moved toward an inter national silver agreement, and in- itiated his gold purchase policy to depreciate the dollar and lift commodity prices.
 American colonists began hav-' ing their monetary difficulties as soon as they reached shore Hayr ing brought little money and al- most as little credit with them, they used wampum and heads to trade with the Indians, and insti- tuted barter for commerce among themselves.
 They declared some commodi- ties such as tobacco, corn and furs, legal tender, and some of the colonies had storehouses to accept payment of taxes in this mon ey.'
 Colonies Issued Paper Money
 As time went on many colon ies began issuing paper money, and set up banks and loan agencies to issue bills of credit What sil- yer there was usually disappeared because it was over-valued by law.
 The paper currencies soon de- preciated. In 1740 Massachusetts currency had depreciated to three fourths it's value.
 Finally, in 1751, the English parliament forbade further issue

LIPPMANN ANSWERS CRITICS OF
 MONETARY POLICIES.

Of all the replies to the critics of the monetary policies of President Roosevelt, and there have been a great many, Walter Lippmann. in his Today ana Tomorrow column in The. Empire last Monday came exposing the weakness of the opposition case than any one else He points out the facts plainly, in words that need no interpretation ana with logic that ought to bring conviction to anyone seeking to know just what it is all about
 Changing the price of gold, decreasing the gold content of the dollar is not, he pointed out any thing in financial history. With but two minor exceptions every country in the world has boosted the price of gold since the World War. As he listed them: Japan 165 per cent Australia, 94 per cent; Denmark, 91 per cent; New Zealand, 90 per cent; Norway, 70 per cent; Argentine, 67 per cent Sweden, 66 per cent; Canada 57 per cent; England, 55 per cent South Africa, 54 per cent. In France, Italy and Belgium, pointed to the gold bloc nations, gold is worth several hundred per cent more than it prior to the war The United States had raised gold 56 per cent at the time MT. Lippman wrote about 30 days ago. It has been increased slightly since that time in all of the countries the United States included It that the objections to this policy confined to our own country It has worked well enough in all of the others so that there is agitation for return to the old basis Maybe, if it is given time. it will do the same thing here
 Only the decetfu or the densely ignorant will contend that the President has started on policy of currency imitation. The money of the United States today is based sodly upon gold as it was when gold selling for S20.67 fine ounce. Charges that the President has violated platform pledge of his party to keep the countrys money "sound must therefore, fall to the ground at least for the time being. He has steadfastly adhered to that pledge ever since he took office. There has been lack of pressure used in an effort to have him start the Governments printing presses run ming off billions of dollars in greenbacks, fiat money which would be imitation in the truest sense. He has resisted this courageously refusing to do the very things that some of his most violent critics accuse him of having done.
 MT. Lippmann summed up the case against the opposition tersely, and yet completely when he declared: ITO denounce imitation is very good thing but it is not relevant to this crucial question:

a suddenness that is almost too rapid to realize; we are still rubbing our eyes and wondering whether all this really has hap pened in the short space of six months. All this has sprung from the energy, the lead ership and the courage of one man, who, without overturning the social system has accomplished as much as any dictator has ever done in a similar space of time.
 There were to begin with, many people in the country at large and few in the Administration who took it for granted that all the new measures would turn out to be what they ostensibly were-temporary ex- pedients to relieve a temporary criss-and that when the emergency passed the old system would once more go jogging along in very much the same old way. These people have had to disabuse themselves, and the process is painful We must expect to hear their cries of protest and mis- giving in increasing volume.
 As difficulties increase, the thought of the Administrators is getting bolder not weaker. Let any one who doubts this read the article by A. A. Berle. Jr., in The New York Times of October 29 Further, it may be said that the closer acquaintance with industry brought about by code procedure, combined with the revelations of the Sena- torial Investigators in the world of high finance, have not encouraged either the President or his advisers to believe in return of the good old times" The good old times were good for far too few of the people

The Roosevelt Administration is moving forward week by week to new positions from which a simple retreat is absolutely out of the question declares William A. Orton historian and economist in Current History for the present month. He holds that the now fabled good old times will never return any to this country, because they were good for only small proportion of the population and that proportion decreased as the population increased.

ENDS MEETING

With cries for and against the
motion that the United States re-
main out of the next Olympic
games in Berlin as q protest
against Germany's discrimination
against Jewish athletics. the Ma
tional Student Federation'S con-
vention at American University
stood concluded. After much
argument the motion was tabled
and other topics talked upon.
One of these subjects was the
editorial written during the foot
ball season by Arnold Beichman,
of the Columbia Spectator. which
denounced post-seaSon football
games. Another was the hope
that small colleges wouldn't be al
lowed to play the larger colleges
during the early season in which
annual grid slaughters occur from
standpoint of injury and one
sided scores.

College Park at 8 o'clock.
The Old Liners turned back the
University of Michigan basketers
in Ritchie Coliseum on December
18 by 29-to-25 score, but all re-
ports tend to indicate that they
will have a bigger task in facing
the HooSiers.
The Indiana quint invades after
winning four games in a row after
dropping their opening encounter
to a great Wabash team by four
points and in preparation and in
quantity and quality of material
combined will have a distinct edge
on the Maryland outfit.
Maryland Set
Maryland is satisfied that it's
starting lineup of Bob Snyder
and Spencer Chase, forwards; Ru-
fus Vincent, center, and the
Buscher brothers, Buckley and
Bernie, will hold up its end, but
when it comes to reserve strength
the Hoosiers stand far above
Coach Shipley's charges.
Indiana is bringing 10 men, all
of whom are real basket ball play
ers, while Maryland has only eight
tossers on whom it can call and
two of these worked during the
holidays and are not primed for
the occasion.
Huffman, Stout Aces
Vernon Huffman, center, and
Lester Stout, forward, both sophs,
are said to be the big timers Of
the Indiana quint, with Wendell
Walker, another soph, and Willard
Kehrt and Woodrow Weir, veter-
ans, comprise the starting array.
Close behind them, and still in
the running for regular jobs, are
Bob Porter, Keith Campbell, Joe
Gansinger, Gil Carter and Bill
Coulter. In most of the past
games Coach Everett Dean has
used all 10 toSsers.
