academic freedom" is in ferment.
Deeper that that, the whole field Of
ideas, of contest between ideas, and
Of the rights of the individual against
authority of every sort-all this, i'm
deed almost every aspect Of organized
society, is in worldwide hux.
One fundamental phase Of the
Frank case is the question who shall
have authority over universities and
over the teaching in them. It is a
subject which the average man, even
the ar-above-average man, rarely
thinks about. Commonly we take such
matters for granted. Complacently We
assume that universities, and other
institutions, somehow run themselves.
Seem Automatic.
In way. and as rule, they seem
to run themselves, in the sense that
they 80 along without commotion.
A world, and a time, in which institu-
tions appear to run themselves is q
comfortable period to live in. There
are such eras. and happy are the gen.
erations who live in them. But once
In so often titantic rumblings occur at
the very roots Of society, immense
dislocstions occur-and then we are in
for a period OF readjustment. We are
In such a period now-whether
toward the end of it or merely in the
beginning. wish I knew. Sooner or
later, the dislocations will adjust
themselves and the world will settle
down to a new period Of stability. And
II history is any guide, the new order
should be better than the old.
But the world will never arrive at
a period in which institutions run
themselves, or in which any organi-
zation Of human beings carries on
automatically. Always, somewhere,
there is authority. power. Those who
imagine that In communism eyery-
body IS equal. are letting dreams pre-
vail over facts. In Russia the indi.
vidual Is kept aware of the power

and Is more harshly penalized for

! missars under him have much more
power-in education, religion, In tn
dustry. over authorship and art, every
area Of life--than any head or board
Of directors d any American corpora
ton or institution.
Faculties Have Bosses.
A common assumption Is that our
universities are controlled by their
faculties. Only to . partial extent
Is this true. In all universities, over
the faculties, there Is Q governing
body, which employs teachers and
dismisses them or denies reappoint-
ment.
The governing bodies are Of two
types. In many private institutions,
such as Harvard, the governing body
commonly consists Of q self-perpetu-
ating board Of trustees. When one
member dies, his successor is chosen
by the remainder. In some private
institutions. as at Harvard, there is
a second body, secondary to the first,
made UP Of persons elected by the
alumni.
On the other hand, in State insti-
tutions, such as the University of
Wisconsin. the governing body is of
political origin. Commonly it is made
up Of appointees of the Governor.
with or without confirmation by the
State Legislature. There is added po-
litical control in the fact that State
universities ordinarily depend for
their up-keep on annual appropria-
tions by Legislatures. This type Of
authority sometimes gives rise to po-
litical tenerference. Politicians try
to make the university useful to them
in the same way they make ordinary
departments of the State useful to
them. Often they try to make pa.
tronage out Of the personnel Of the
university.
Just how much politics there is in
the present Wisconsin case will be
known after the coming hearings. The
regents, OF whom there are IS, get
their posts by appointment from the
Governor. Ten of the present regents
have been appointed by La Toilette
during his governorship. 1t seems q
sact that 8 out Of Gov. La Follette's
10 appointees compose the anti-Frank
majority Of the board. The five ap-
pointed by Governors other than Mr..
La FolletA are all In favor OF DR..
Frank.
Compromise Suggested.
The Milwaukee journal, seeking q
form Of control less political, Sug-
gesy that one-third OF the regents
be selected by the Wisconsin Supreme
Court, one-third by the alumni and
one-third by the Governor.
Whatever the merits Of the contro-
versy at Wisconsin, whatever the de-
tails that emerge and whoever is most
in the right, one fundamental lesson
Of 1t will be that control of univer-
sites by the Government has dangers
which Americans can only regard
with watchfulness. Government
control" sounds more palatable than
political control" but the two tend
to be inseparable.
To Americans the new experiments
in society and government in Europe
can have supreme value. They can
show us what TO avoid. What teacher
in America, or what intellectual, or
what average citizens would like to
see teaching in America regimented
as Germany has regimented it-uni-
versities and teachers specifically
commanded to teach that which every
teacher knows Is not true?

~ ARIS, January 2.--Omcisl quar-
= ters In Paris and London are
disturbed by talks that Baron
Constantin Won Neurath. Ger.
man foreign minister. had on Decem-
ber 81 with the French and British
Ambassadors.
Neurath accepted In principle the
placing Of a ban upon volunteers in
Spain and even went so far rs to
suggest that q regular blockads should
be enforced. He urged the French
and British governments to lay down
proposals on that subject and, more.
over. asked them to promise that
eventually all volunteers now serving
in Spain should be recalled by their
respective governments.
But all those points are secondary.
The crtlx of the whole matter Is that
Neurath formally declared that Ger
many would not tolerate q commu-
nisric regime In Spain. which means
that, should "hands-oh" policy lead
10 q result not to her liking, she would
regard herself as entitled TO inter.
vene.
French Ambassador Andre Francois
Poncet made a remark to that effect
and declared that no international
agreement could be secured except
upon the principle of absolute neutral-
ity and the abstention of all govern
ments In all circumstances. Moreover,
Poncet inquired about the yardstick
the German government would use
when 1t would have TO decide II the
Spanish regime was or was not OF o
Communist nature.
Neurath's answer was that the In.
nuence exerted by Soviet Russia over
the Spanish regime would supply the
requisite criterion. It doesn't appear
that the discussion went any further.
Believes Democraciss 10 Fall.
The remark was made here that.
In Hitler's judgment, all democratic
government are on the verge Of COM
munism. Should the Nazi government
stick to this claim, no understanding
will ever be reached about the Spanish
civil war. and 1t Is very serious indeed
that Hitler should be inclined to think
that the vital interest Of his country
or regime is bound up with the fate
Of factions struggling in Spain.
It Is reported now that January II
must be considered as the extreme
time limit for the German reply and
that the German note may be de.
livered the hrst part of next week.
The London government Is trying to
make capital out Of technical note
addressed by Italy to the Control
Committee yesterday In order TO con-
ciliate Mussolini and induce him to
persuade Hitler to abandon his OBJ
| jectionable reservations concerning
communism. In that spirit she Is
about to introduce In the scheme Of
control over Spanish harbors. rail.
roads, etc, some of the features rec.
commended by Fascist diplomacy. But

italy would have the will and power
to make Germany swerve from her
strong line Of action.

RECORD RED|cTED
IN NPOSTAL INCOME
Revenue of S715,000,0 900
in 1887 Held Likely
by Farley.

An all-time high for postal receipts
in the fiscal year 1887 is predicted by
Postmaster General James A. Farley
who estimates the total at SITS ,000.-
900, or $I0.000,0o0 more than the peak
set in 1880.
Asserting that "the return of the
United States to q sane and far
reaching prosperity, born of sound
economic policies on the part of the
Federal Government, has been reflected
in a most convincing manner in the
Postal Service" he amplifies:
With postal receipts in all sections
of the country for the first two weeks
of December running more than IL
per cent ahead of q similar period last
year and with q consolidated gain OF
more than 10 per cent for the first
five months Of the present fiscal year,
there Is every indication that the
volume of business handled by the
Post Once Department during the
present fiscal year and the current
holiday season will exceed that of any
previous year in the history of the
Postal Service.
Business and trade analysts fsr
many years have looked upon postal
receipts as the most accurate of all
business barometers, so it may readily
be seen that this expansion Of the
mails is most indicative of the return
OF better times throughout the Ma
ton.
The increasing use of the mails
both by individuals and business
houses is the direct result of new and
greater purchasing power among all
classes Of people, which has been
brought about by the revival of trade
and industry, revival which has been
pronounced from coast to coast.
'As further evidence of the
marked improvement in conditions
and as result of reports which I have
received from post ofices in all sec
tions of the country, I feel certain
that postal receipts for the current
fiscal year, which ends on June so
next, will total more than SITS, 600, 900,
or at least $l0,000.0 900 more than the
highest previous year, which was in
1880, when, at the peak of the pre-
depression boom. postal receipts
amounted to s705, 600 ,000."

1896 EUROPEAN TRIPS
SHOW PICKUP HERE
D. G. Steamship Agent Reveals He
Even Had to Turn Down
Applications.

J. 3. Berry. French Line agent In
Washington, found business 20 good
In 1885, as compared to 1898. that he
had to turn down many applications
for sailings. The same situation for
1887 Is already beginning to show
itself
"Our best business Is the business
we had to turn down." Mr.. Berry
said. In one way. that was due TO
q characteristic Of Wa4hingtonians.
Easy-going. leading the abundant life,
they just let things slide by-and
came for their sailings too late.
And yet we are already booking
passages for the peak season sailin7s-
to the end of June.
"Washingtonians, living In 4 city
where they have access to the latest
news. and therefore abreast with every
current happening In Europe, are not
being scared OF trips to the older
countries, As are persons In other
cities. The scare-heads sometimes
seen in other metropolitan cities do
not seem to affect Washingtonians.
Tney know they are perfectly safe
so long as only rumors Of trouble, and
not actual trouble, creates news.
Another thing that helps put the
washington business far ahead Of
other cities is the convenient 3o-day
vacation granted each year to Gov.
ernment employees. That gives just
enough time for short trip to Europe
enough time TO see the sights and
nave delightful sailings both ways"
In summing up, Mr.. Berry. 4 native
Frenchman, said the pickup here In
business last year was not 30 much
a pickup as q step-up, since business
had been good even in 1885; but, Of
course, vastly improved In 1895.
