JANUARY 11, 1932 THE JAZZ AGE DECLINES A few days ago William Allen White, the sage of Eupatoria, told a newspaper reporter that the jazz age was ended, and that a return to the more homely things of life was the new order of the day. It would seem that Mr. White has again struck the nail on the head. True, the world lives on in an age of speed, but it is a mechanical speed rather than the speed which was once labeled "flaming youth." One of the most interesting angles on present-day y life, as brought out in the interview, was that the American people are happier today than they were in the past because of the world-wide depression. For the past two years writers have been deciering the sad state of economic affairs of the world, but it can not be denied that we are learning how to live in these "trying" times. The economic instability of the country has brought down on our heads a multitude of social evils which must be corrected, if we are to live in better harmony. And because of the age Amen is not the money go to me of the pace which she shows a few years ago, it may mean that better times, which are "just around the corner," will see a far more level-headed treatment of economic and social problems confronting the nation. At any rate, it is pointed out that lack of funds has swayed American favor in the direction of home. And it it a fine axiom that "experience is the best teacher." WHAT NEXT? Has the United States taken a stand in the Manchurian situation, which now begins to look like a Chinese situation? Secretary Stimson's ultimatum to Japan, while rather bilewarm had in it some of the elements that would accord to accept. But then is the power of the powers in regard to Japan's actions in Manchuria and China? Britain is faced with deplorable economic conditions in addition to having a resilient India on her hands. France, with her customary radical attitude, refuses to cooperate with the greater powers in any way until her position is clearly outlined. Italy will do nothing until France has been stand. The United States, fearing of Japanese without support of the other powers, sits back with the key to the whole situation in her hands and waits for something to happen. And something is happening! Japan is violating treaty obligations with impunity. She has already scorned the Kellogg-Briand peace past, and under many of the terms of the nine-power pact she is a world outlaw. The time is ripe for concerted action on the part of the powers and, old world diplomats that they are, they refuse to lend that co-operation or are unable to do it. Japan's internal condition or the economic boycott of China seem the only answers to the problem. REPARATION France is raging because Chancellor Bruening repudiated the "sacred right" of the French to collect reparations payments. Germany has been up in the air because of these payments ever since the treaty of Versailles was signed. The taking of rich, profitable colonies, the erection of high tariff walls, and the general world economic depression have combined to put Germany in a dangerous financial situation; consequently the extent of her ability to pay is at present small and of interest. But when the country at a serious crisis, and even the French realize that adjustments are necessary in the intergovernmental system of payments. Some think the Bruning statement, regarding Germany reaching the end of her rope so far as the payment of reparations goes, was made primarily for bargaining purposes to be used at the reparations conference at Lausanne and at the disbandment of the company. The statement may bring a more speedy settlement of the whole reparations problem, which is essential to recovery of trade through the world. TARIFF The Democrats, who have control of the House, have succeeded in passing a tariff measure which may be a more political gesture to convince voters that the Democratic party is capable of bringing back prosperity, provided they are given the reins of government at the next election. Again, if a constructive and necessary measure to bring about more sure and workable tariff legislation. This bill results in the loss of the President's flexible tariff powers and gives them to congress, with the provision that this body must act within 60 days of receiving recommendations from the tariff commission. In view of the dilution—at times politically motivated by economists or of congress, it will very likely be largely up to the commission to bring about constructive and necessary changes. The provision that congress must approve any agreement reached in an international conference to revise tariff rates downward limits the scope of the discussion of the conference, but because of the urgency of the task, congresses with international conferences and congressional approval, it seems to be a hopeful and practical measure. 15 On the Hill Years Ago Students were asked to leave North College yesterday when the high winds made the building dangerous twice last year instructors dismissed students from the building from the walls and loosened bricks from the walls and chimneys.

Certain it is that the liberalization of the educational system which may hope is developing, and develop with some degree of rapidity, at Missa she should begin with such less in pertinent yet important work. That a student's grade should be determined by his or her regularity in going to class is nonsense.

From The Indiana Daily Student: RADIO IN EDUCATION In many instances the trouble lies with faculty members, many of whom actually think they are yet living in college and should never experience failure or the lowering of the grade in a course. In the Arts college, also, where the regulation has been lifted, students often take little about the regularity or irregularity of attendance in their classes, but who showed in their reports of these issues, usually with the new-fangled idea. Students have the right to petition college deans or individual instructors if they feel some changes are necessary, such a right should be exercised now.

Although we do not wish to align ourselves with the "mossheads," we do reserve to ourselves the right to be among the conservatives, and to hesitate to fail anything as a revolutionary supra that it has been made more or less objectionable to the moralised standpoint and has been subjected to thorough going tests. London, Jan. 11 (UP) - Buckleen and runners are back come it up in the halfway stage. The pistols and the rum runners enough liquor out of the country instead a To date, the radio offers neither of these.

Later the same day he entered another shop, showed a toy pitilid, and he put it in the shop. The shop would be immune from theft if the owner paid $25 yearly. He was not happy. One of the first racketeers came to grief after only two exploits, neither of which was successful. Arthur Rutherford threatened a skeeper that his shop would be "smashed and grabbed" the next day unless he paid a $30 protection fee. He run away when the skepster threatened to report him to the police.

Investigation since his shown that many similar vessels make Lerwis their home port. The rum runners are a more serious proposition. They are engaged in running spirits into Norway and Sweden, and they have the advantage by the star and prices are high. It is not an offense in Britain to negotiate the exportation of liquor, even though the seller may be aware that he intends to import it into Europe, the man behind the scenes in run running to Standinvinia is freeported on a portfolio of potable financier, or a society personality. Orders are placed with reputable brokers and are port, probably commensled to the West Indies. In many cases the liquor is trans-shipped from the mother ship to a new country. Aberdeen and Dundee also see their share of ruma runners, although the Scandinavian team wins in reality. They cruise about the Scoimbrian navy watching for opennings. the mother ship herself changes her name and registry after leaving her British port. It is estimated that at least a hundred vessels are engaged in this traffic. Jayhawks Flown senior high school at McPherson. She also has charge of dramas and is president of the Colby K.
