Despite a natural anti-German prejudice after the war, the German embassy had gradually become one of the most popular in Washington. The beer abends of Baron von Maltzen, ambassa- dor von Prittwitz and more lat terly Hans Luther, were famous.
 But the Nazi dash to the state department to protest against the biting words of General Johnson against Hitler's "whole- sale executions did not go down well.
 The diplomatic but pointed re- buff given the Germans by Sec- retary Hull got universal acclaim in the capital.
 SLIGHT OF HAND
 One of the neatest pieces of diplomacy, slipped under the nose of the senate just before it adjourned. is beginning to cause international reverberations.
 It was inspired by Persian Minister Ghaffar Khan Djalal, and it concerns an insignificant island-Bahrein-in the Persian Gulf.
 To Great Britain, Persia and the Standard oil Company of California, however, this island is not insignificant. It is rich in oil. Persia claims it. Britain claims it. Standard Oil of Cali fornia has leased it-but from the British, not the Persians.
 What Persian Minister Djalal did regarding this island was to have his friend Senator King of Utah slip four innocuous-looking lines into the treaty for the su- pervision of trade in arms.
 These four lines state that the United States ratifies only with the understanding that this treaty shall not be. construed as denying any right of sovereignty which the Kingdom of Persia may have in and to the Persian Gulf"
 To some diplomats this throws the Island of Bahrein, the Stand- ard Oil lease, and the British all into the sea of international un- certainty. It gives Persia lever with which to claim the island.

EASIER BAR EXAMS
(Meriden Journal)

While Connecticut is building up a reputation for severity in bar ex- aminations, admitting less than half the applicants. North Dakota is shown by recent figures to have admitted every prospective lawyer to the bar in 1882.
 Montana, next door neighbor, passed only IS per cent. Iowa was second easiest in examination and let in 88 per cent of the applicants.
 The national average was 45 per cent. Maine rated 75 and Vermont 77 per cent but Massachusetts pass ed only 25 per cent. The eastern states are much stiffer in their re- quirements than the western and southern states, perhaps because of the number of lawyers already in this section and the desire of many more to get in.

MIR DAVIS ON MIRA
Milwaukee JournaD

MT Roosevelt's problems come us much from those who go too far without any restraint of reason as from those who would turn back ot the old dishonesty. Against such dangers mind like that of John w. Davis could be helpful. But the way for MT Davis to help is not by lining himself up to give aid and encouragement, to those who only seek to go back to the cash regist- CT and make it jingle at no mat ter whose expense, and who have not even offered workable plan to do that.

Representatives of II states met recent ly in Chicago to find some means of CO., operation in the formation of state poli- cies regarding paroled prisoners. The chairman of the conference pointed out the reason for it's calling. Criminals in their operations do not recognize state lines. The law enforcement groups of different states ought then to cooperate in provid- ing uniform parole regulations and super vision.

It is as surprising as it is comforting to find a Nazi cabinet minister making a strong plea for international peace, saying kind words about the French and calling for amicable settlement of international disputes The recent speech of Rudolph Hess, therefore, must be classed as one of the most unexpected and valuable of the developments following Hitler's suppress sion of the "second revolution"

A recommendation that the sys-

cy Of the Home Owners Loan Cor

other states has been made by HOLC
officials in Washington after study
of the details of that system.
This was learned today on the re-
turn of z. Kirk Mckinney, state
manager. from Washington where
he has been in conference with ma
tional officials Of the corporation.
The state office was opened here
Aug. Is. 1893. and the first loan was
paid out a week later. The nine
months have seen paying out OF
1851 loans. totaling s30,6l3689.75.
Loans now are being paid out at the
rate of 200 day and last week saw
more than s2,5OO,OOO paid to mort
gagees. building and loan associa-
tons and banks.
The state ranks third in the num-
Der of loans closed and has the low

cause for favorable comment on the
part of Washington officials. The
opinion was expressed that Hole
operations. as carried on here, would
show the government profit rather
than a deficit.

SCHOOL BEGINS
FORT|ETH YEAR
Indiana Law Instruction Is
Supplemented by Various
Courts.

The Indiana law school is now in
its fortieth year of preparing young
er men for the legal profession.
Organized in 1894 to give students
an opportunity to acquire a more
thorough knowledge of the law the
institution ranks as a leader in its
field.
The aims of the school are set
forth briefly in the 1933-1934 cata-
logue as follows:
"a successful law school will give
to its students a comprehensive and
thorough knowledge of legal prin-
ciples, coupled with thorough &C
quaintance with the details of so
feSsional work.
This school insists upon a
knowledge of the growth and ex-
panSion of our system of law. 1t
offers special preparation in the
elementary principles Of both sub
,.nVIEe ana remedial or objective
NV. requiring frequent tests, both
oral and written"
The school has many advantages
because of its location, and the stu
dent has no better opportunities
anywhere to watch litigation in
courts Of all grades.
Information regarding the three
year course leading to the degree of
bachelor Of laws may be obtained
from the secretary of the school at
8 East Market street.
