A RULE FOR LAW
AND LAWYERS

The 136 new lawyers admitted this
week to practice before California courts
might derive an early lesson that would
be of lifelong benefit from a human
study of the plea made to a Los Angeles
judge Tuesday by one of the attorneys
in the Jackie Coogan suit
Forget the moral aspects of the case
and be guided only by the law, urged
the attorney for Mr. Coogan's mother
and step-father, who are sued by the
former boy film star because they have
refused to turn over to him what is left
of the fortune he earned before the mo-
tion picture cameras.
The attorney was, in effect, asking the
Judge to overlook what might be justice,
and do only what the cold letter of the
law tells him to do. And the law the
attorney referred to declares that any
money a minor earns is the property of
his parents.
The judge, of course, must be guided
by the law. When he took his oath of of
flee, he pledged himself TO rule accord
ing to law. But, from a layman's view
point il seems almost unbelievable that
there is nothing in the law which gives
Coogan-now grown mana chance to
share in the wealth he created for his
family. The Judge, we believe will find
that there is legal provision to support
the young mans claim to fortune which
by all moral standards should be his
own.
But the attorneys plea is another
thing. Forget the moral aspects of the
lawl What, in the name of all that is
Holy, is the law except a written inter
pretation of right and wrong? When
the law ceases to have foundation upon
sound morals. the law will be worse
than useless When the law can be per-
verted to prevent justice, it is vicious
weapon in the hands of wrong-doers.
These new attorneys licensed this week
to practice law will be a credit to their
exalted profession if they will remem-
ber one thing-that justice comes first.
The law is intended to give justice. Ev-
eryone who serves it should strive to
carry out that intent.

WHEN TWO DICTATORS
GET TOGETHER

Dictator Adolf Hitler of Germany is
in Rome to visit Dictator Benito Musso-
lin of Italy. They will discuss the Rome
Berlin axis, that diplomatic agreement
providing cooperation between their two
nations. Their conversations have been
hailed as a sign of agreement that will
weld the two nations closer together.
Perhaps it will. For while. But there
will be a time when one dictator wants
one thing, and the other wants some
thing else, and their desires disagree,
What then?
Neither Hitler nor Mussolini is used
to being blocked in his desires. Each has
defied treaties and laws to achieve his
purposes As long as they can serve
one another, their cooperation will last.
When one gets in The others way, it will
be shattered.
There can be no lasting agreement
between two greedy outlaws. Eventually
one wants what the other has-and then
trouble comes.

HUZZLING THE PRESS

(ChriStlan Science MOnitOr)
Indignant comment IN the British
press has followed a statement alleged
to have been made by the German gov
ernment to the British ambassador in
Berlin 1t was to the effect that conver
sations between Britain and Germany
could not be held if they were subject in
advance to British press comment. The
report was not officially confirmed, but
it is in accord with the attitude of the
German government to the foreign press.
1t is no doubt difficult for dictator
to understand that what he can easily do
by passing press law or issuing decree
cannot be done in countries like Great
Britain, or France, or the United States.
In theory it is possible for the Parla-
ment to limit the powers of the press.
Indeed certain restrictions have been i'm
posed comparatively recently, such as
that which forbids reports of divorce
court proceedings. But no British govern
ment and no parliament today would
dare to make a frontal assault upon the
general liberties Of the press, still less
at the instigation of a foreign power.
Yet at such a time as this, when the
freedom of the press has been eXtinguish-
ed in so many countries, it is peculiarly
necessary to be watchful of its rights
and privileges. There is no doubt that
statesmen in democratic countries, treat
ing with governments which have nothing
to fear from newspaper comment in their
own land, feel themselves TO be at some
disadvantage, and would be very glad
if some curb could be put on an unruly
press.
AS long as a section of the press proves
itself dangerously irresponsible there is
always the possibility that public opin-
ion might endorse the removal of some of
the rights of the press as a whole. But
such restriction would be the worst pos
sble method of removing abuses, for in
the checking of what is illegitimate much
that is legitimate and desirable would
be suppressed with it.

SOLVING A
FINANCIAL PROBLEM

(HaVerhlll tMaSS.) GaZelJe)
New Deal financing is suddenly clear
to us.
1t is like this:
When you are broke, you start spend
ing huge sums. This helps business and
from the improvement you get cut.
The money you spend you get by GO
ing in debt. You borrow from the people
whose business is helped by your spend
ing They loan to you because they have
no choice in the matter, you being pow
erful gink to whom nobody dareS say
no and besides you used to have good
credit
Then. while business is circulating the
money you borrowed to spend, you bor
row less or not at all and say you guess
you will use your cut to balance the
budget. But your cut is less than your
deficit and it diminiSheS because bus-
ness has got used to the crutch of the
dough you borrowed and spent and be-
cause it is scared stiff of your borrowing
and of odd ideas you have developed
about the way the people from whom
you borrowed that you might spend
when you are broke should manage their
affairs.
As your cut diminishes so that you
can not balance your budget, you start
spending again. First you borrow lot
more and get your debt bigger, but that
is all right because your cut will be big
ger and sometime, you hope, it will get
big enough to balance your budget. You
are like a frog in a well, who jumps
two feet and slips three but keeps on
jumping, serenely confident that if he
does eventually he will reach the top.

Bruce Cation Says
A Teacher, a Student and a Log

That is an over-simpllflcatloh, o.
course. something is needed in the
vav of laboratories, reference
works. libraries, and so on. But the
fundamental idea is worth hang
ing onto.
We have managed to confuse
bigness with goodness in almost
every walk of American life. Our
commonest delusion is that no
human institution can really work
right unless it has plenty of money
and knows how to get more And
nowhere does this delusion do
much harm than in the field OF
higher education.
So we tend to appoint "goop
traitors" to our college and uni
money-raisers" or "able admins
versity presidencies, and let the
thirst for pure learning take care
of itself.
1t is a good thing to realize that
there is another standard Tor

by which neither money nor size

Famous Sayings

We are approaching the seasol
when college and university presi-
dents, beaming down from com
mencement platforms, will proudly
announce that good old Alumnus
So-andSo has been moved by the
spirit of philahthrophy to give
half million or so for new build
ings or endowment.
Those gifts are in the making
right now, and by mid-June they
will add up to a sizeable total
which will be received by the col
leges with deep gratitude. Fol-
there never yet was college that
wasn't in the market for a big
gift.
Never? Well-hardly ever. We
have heard of one.
DR.. Thomas Whitney Surette, OF
the faculty OF Black Mountain
College. told a New York audience
the other day that his college
wouldn't take a million dollars Ii
someone offered it. Indeed, ne
added. such a gift would simply
ruin the college.
Black Mountain College is sltu-
ated near Asheville, NC. 1t is q
small institution, with a student
booy of SO or thereabouts, and II
wants TO stay small. 1t could use
a little more money, DR.. Suretl'
admits-perhaps as much as Slo'-
OOO-but it doesn't want any more
than that. 1t has no formal cur
riculum, grants no degrees and OIL
fers no lectures, and Its entlrt
budget for athletics last year rar
to exactly nine dollars.
In a day when almost every col
lege is straining its nerves to be
as big and as rich as possible, 1t Is
extremely refreshing to run across
one which is content to be botf
small and poor. 1t is even more
refreshing to hear DR.. Surette'S eX
planation:
I'VE have been called radlca
and strange, but / call our plal
lust old. 1t is a Sloughlng off OF
all this paraphernalia which clut-
ters up most education, and get
ting down to human beings. Mos'
peoples minds are sterillzed oy

There is great deal of gooo
sense in that. Remember the ole
saying?-that college is nothing

News Behind
the News
Embargo CanceiiinJ
Secret Warnings

WASHINGTON-The movement
to cancel the embargo on arms
to Spain has accumulated a great
deal of unseen strength.
German Ambassador Hans Helm
rich Dieckhoff has been so sensi-
tive to this fact that he recently
called at the State Department
with a remarkable secret warning.
In case this government was con-
sidering lifting the embargo, he
said, he wanted to suggest that any
American arms bought by the Span
ish loyalist government probably
would fall into the hands of Rebel
General Franco and that, if not
ships carrying such arms would
almost certainly be sunk.
Since this government doesn't
accord belligerent rights to Franco
and doesn't recognize that Germany
or Italy-has any place in the
Spanish war picture or any right
TO talk to this government about
1t. the reaction was sour in high
places. Especially since it is com
monty believed that the Franco
blockade of loyalist ports is made
effective only by German and 1tali-
an submarines.
But the reluctance of top Amer
ican officials to aid fascist nations
conquer democratic nations is cX-
ceeded only by their fear of getting
into foreign quarrels. 1t was after
Dieckhoff's visit that President
Roosevelt told a visiting senator of
the dangers involved in lifting the
Spanish embargo.
A majority of members Of the
Senate Foreign Relations committee
is understood to be sympathetic to
lifting the embargo and officials
whose support for the movement
would be decisive admit the en-
barge was an injustice. The adj
ministration's failure to act, plus
the fact that the question still
remains very much at issue stand,
against a background which en-
phasizeS the confused Washington
attitude toward the European stu
alton ever since Roosevelt and Sec
retary Hull were jolted by th'
IDTftl ItOlBIldblbll VI IOAtlbil WIN
lister Anthony Eden.
The embargo ON arms to Spain
was devised in the State Depart
ment and railroaded through Con
gress under the name of 'neu-
trality' while Secretary Hull was
away Unprecedented in its de
nial of war supplies to a reCog-
nized friendly government, the
measure was admittedly meant tC
supplement the British "non-inter-
yention" policy.
But Hitler and MuSsolini poured
troops and materials into Spain
until the governments position be-
came desperate and this govern
ment has been informed that its
embargo was the biggest single
factor in fascist victories.
The dominant forces in the
British government appear to have
been pro-Franco all the time. The
British mon intervention" policy
long ago became farcical and the
Chamberlain government now has
approved maintenance of Italian
troops in Spain until they win the
war.

to buy has been obvious and one
