New Library Plan Brings Shipment of Books Monthly
Librarian Says Agreement Should Prove Helpful to All Persons on Faculty
Earl N. Manchester, librarian, has made an agreement with the Macmillan Publishing Company to send a consignment of their best books to the library each month. The members of the facility will be privileged to look over these books and buy any that they want at library discount.
Mr. Manchester has agreed to try this plan for three months. If it is successful and helpful to the faculty it will be continued and if not it will be dropped. The library has just received its first consignment of 75 books of the best fall publications.
The letter from the Macmillan Company fully explaining this new system is reprinted in full.
"By arrangement with the librarians, these books are: to be sent on consignment with a memorandum bill仁含ed with the shipment. They are to be accounted for not later than 10 days from the date of shipment. The present shipment is the first of a series which will be a monthly feature if the experiment proves successful. The library is to be privileged to retain these books for the period mentioned, within a specified time frame. If your purchases from the consignment, returning (or credit) such books as they do not wish to keep. They may in some cases sell titles to members of the faculty, returning to us the names of the individuals to whom such books have been sold to faculty members direct, crediting the library consignment account accordingly.
"The books are to be billed at regular library discounts and in case where we bill direct to a member of the faculty on instructions from the librarian, we are to give the faculty member the library discount. The library is to pay freight both ways, and each shipment, now and in the future, will be addressed post cards which the advertising department has arranged for and which should be secured for them to be included."

Latin Americans Make Their Own Monroe Doctrine
Haberman Says Southern Governments Regard U. S. Policies as Imperialistic
Mexico is beginning to feel that the Monse doctrine, as defined by the Americans, is a scheme for the benefit of American bankers and financiers, and as a result there is a tendency toward the formulation of a "Monso doctrine" that applies to the Latin American countries only.
This is the opinion of Roberto Haberman, representative of the department of commerce, labor and industry of the Mexican government, who spoke at a session of the Interior and/oratoriaism. In his talk he emphasized the need of a better understanding between the United States and Mexico, pointing out several things that tend to break down the two countries.
Friendship Desirable
"It is of interest to the United States to keep on friendly terms with Mexico," be declared, "if for no more than commercial reasons. Sixty per cent of the exports of Mexico go to this country, and in turn the Mexicans buy $300,000,000 worth of American goods. Mexico has strict immigration laws against all foreigners not authorized to enter the country. Moreover, more than half of the wealth of Mexico is owned by American capitalists.
"The whole trouble lies in the oil industry," he pointed out. "Complications arise over oil interests, and the American capitalists frequently appeal to their government for assistance. If the American ambassador does not understand the Mexican side of the dispute, it fails—does not—then there is an exchange of notes between the two governments."
Need Better Ministers
Mr. Haberman said that the Amer-
can ambassador did not have a sympathic attitude toward the Mexicans labor movement; that he did not know the Spanish language, and that he was not familiar with ways of dealing with Mexican immigrants or more temperamental and less practical than the Americans.
Concerning Mexico's attitude toward the League of Nations, Mr. Heberman said that "Mexico would not go into the League until the United States clarified there would be to advantage in Mexico being in the League as long as the United States is out, for the political forces of the two countries are thrown together. However, Mr. Heberman said that in the League if this country did.
Discusses Church Fight
Discusses Church Fight The fight between the church and the state in Mexico was again discussed.
The work of James Kendall, former professor of chemistry at Columbia University and now president of the Washington Square College of New York University, was discussed at the regular meeting of the Chemistry Club, room 101 chemistry building. Wednesday afternoon.
"The whole thing," he said, "is a fight for power between the church and the government. It is not, as so many people think, an attempt on the part of the government to drive the church out of Mexico. If the church officials concede to the demands of the government, it will lead to the loss of many lawyers, teachers and other professional persons, then the conflict will end. However, the church recognizes no temporal authority and has refused to meet the demands."
Mr. Haberman said that there was freedom of the press in the country, and no attempt has been made to suppress editorial opinion. However, church organs are prohibited from displaying news or opinions in their columns.
Chem. Club Discusses James Kendall's Work
A brief outline of Doctor Kendall's academic career was given by Dr. A. W. Davidson, assistant professor of chemistry, who studied under Professor Kendall at Columbia. One of Doctor Kendall's recent papers, "Separation of similar substances in the migration motion" was discussed by H. Y. Dian, a graduate student in the department of chemistry.

Stand of Mexico Will Not Affect American Policies
Recognition of Nicaragua
Liberals Causes Alarm
at Washington,
However
Washington, Dec. 9—Mexico's recognition of the liberal Nicaraguan government opposing the conservative regime backed by the United States is stimulating Central American nationalist movements against United States intervention in Caribbean affairs, according to official reports received here.
The administration is frankly alarmed by this development. Secretary Kellogg permitted the statement today that Mexico's action would be unacceptable in an international policy. Apparently angered by press protests against allied state department proangaда against Mexico, he said he preferred not to comment on the effect which Mexico attacked on United States, on United States Mexican affairs.
Other informed persons, however,
indicate that it has strained the
United States' Mexican relations almost
to the breaking point.
This government is known to view with utmost gravity aligned Mexican military and diplomatic support of nationalist, anti-Yankee revolt now spreading from Nicaragua to other Central American countries.
The American government has no evidence of an alleged Mexican-fostered Robbinsheh plot directed at the Caribbean and the Panama canal, as recently portrayed by an association other than the United Press.
Mexico City, Dec. 9, —An attempt to assassinate Dr. Raoul Zepeda, agent of the Nicaraguan liberal government, failed last night when six men in a passing automobile fired pistol shots into a car carrying Doctor Zepeda and a chauffer, slightly wounding the patient.
Doctor Zenda believed the gummen were agents of the Nicaraguan conservative government.
Miss Burnham Lectures
Influence of Foreign Language in English Is Discussed
"English As It Might Have Been" was the subject of a lecture given by Miss Josephine Burnham, associate professor of English, in room 207, Presser. Wednesday afternoon, she explained vocabulary, grammar, and the caprices and oddities of our languages as they exist at the present time. She then compared them with what they might have developed into had certain influences been strong during the period of the language's formation.
Miss Burkham made some very interesting comparisons of the present day English with what it might have been without the French influence, the Latin influence and the Anigo Saxon influence.
Miss Burham pointed out defect and irregularities in our language that are the result of the adoption of many forms. We should also find that it is these very oddities that make the language picturequeue. She stressed the point that the language has a perpetual power of growth, and with the tendencies in operation today, it would be on the increase in it in the future.

Kansas Towns Using Bureau Film Service in Visual Instruction
Reductions in All Rental Fees Will Enable More Schools to Use Films
A material increase in the services of the bureau of visual instruction is shown by the number of towns which have already arranged their organized film and slide courses for their secretary, who has just returned from a trip of several weeks out in the state. Mr. Dent states that a number of the towns have also arranged for visual instruction programs for next year, and the number of towns which will use visual instruction next summer are the number for any previous years according to present indications.
The schools are not only using general schedules of films and slides, but also also selecting special groups to use in the schools. The schools in Liberal are going to use a group of slides which will supplement the work in geography, and several Kansas trees for similar specialized slide serving.
Mr. Dent will go to Kansas City Friday to interview the managers of the Paths Exchange relative to securing additional films and slides. He will be out in the state during the next two weeks furthering the organization for the new year. A new machine will be installed at Stafford.
From Jan. 1 to June 1, special fees will be placed on the different groups and classes of films and slides. These special fees will represent material reductions over the class fees worked out for the entire year. It is hoped that this will lead to an advantage of this half-year service under the new arrangement. All slides and films have been placed in definite classes, and each class has a special fee, the payment of which enables the school to use any of the films or slides included in that class. By this method the entire cost of the films included in the library of the bureau will be kept in circulation.
Good Posture Stressed
Miss Barto Tells Advantages in Talk Wednesday
"Hygienic, economic, social, not aesthetic are the four types of bene fit of good posture," and Miss Mara garet Barto of the department of nutrition at the freshman and sophomore gymnast slum classes yesterday afternoon.
"In a well-poised body all the or gens are held to the best performance of their functions. From the eco economic standpoint a good posture and walk will make one appear wide awake and interested; both of these qualities would appeal to a prospective employer.
"A good appearance depends upon good posture, and will increase so respect and confidence. Posture is expressive of mental states, so a relaxed posture means mental relaxation as well.
"The aesthetic view point is easy to see. An erect bearing is more pleasing to the eye than a slouch, and clothes appear to great advantage when worn on a figure which is held with dignity. A youthful appearance can be preserved longer by posture than by cosmetics."
Miss Barton explained just exactly what is meant by good posture. She also described some exercises for the feet as well as some general exercises.
Political Disputes Are Still Unsettled in Senior Election
Balloting Will Go Forward as Arranged; Dawson Urges Members to Vote

Dawson Urges Strong Vote
At a joint meeting of W. S. G. A., the council and representatives of the two political parties yesterday afternoon, it was decided that although each election will be forward as planned by the election committee of the Men's Student Council, all elections hereafter would be conducted by a joint committee of the two organizations.
Importance Is Stressed
A cell urging all seniors to vote tonight was learned by Prof. Frank M. Tausman, men's student advisor, and Fred Ellsworth, alumni, secretary.
Mr. Ellsworth made it plain that he was not taking sides in the campaign but was only arguing all seniors who were in the organization of their class.
The importance of a wise selection of class officers cannot be too strongly emphasized, according to Mr. Klizikovin. "The officers are not being trained to take part in the life of the class. It is argent that the president and the secretary be able to serve the class as alumno; it must also ensure their work will be most important."
"It is hoped that all seniors will take advantage of the opportunity to select their class officers. The inexperienced and later awarers should be emphasized. There is a large amount of constructive work which they and they alone can do for the benefit of the whole," declared Professor Dawson.
