St. Joseph Mayor Talks at Banquet of Phi Delta Phi
Lewis T. Stigall Addresses
Annual Meeting of Law
Fraternity in Honor
of Prof. Rice
"The lawyer who leaves this world with less of litigation is the one who will gain more lasting fame and be looked up to more than the one who will lose it." The purpose of commercial gain," was the message of Lewis T. Stigl, mayor of St. Joseph, Mo., addressing the annual alumni banquet of Phi Delta Phi, given in honor of Prof. Forsyth, the founder of a university granted a year's leave of absence.
Mayor Stigall, making the chief address of the evening, contrasted present day commercialism in life with the fraternalism of preceding generations and the day when "friend" meant friend. He contrasted the old Fourth of July celebrations when the speaker was the main attraction, with the present Independence day when stands and concessions are the main attractions of the town. In some cases, out-of-the-way place "Communalism in patriotism."
Mayor Stigall was for five years, from 1014 to 1019, national president of Phil Delta Phi. His talk was entitled "Fraternalism and Professionalism versus Commercialism and Materialism."
"Win at Any Cost" Now
In addition he contrasted the ancient rivalry in sport with that of today, "win at any cost and get all the money you can." He showed how the clan was written with a cursive font and written with the clemctus for which the masters will pay cash, and plenty of it.
"The best lawyer is the man who secures litigation, shortens the means to the end, yet justice and right are given full allow. The lawyer who leases litigation makes the world a better place to live in, just as the doctor who creates the control of a disease thereby drains destruction to 'unpacks'."
Professor Rice Speaks
Professor Rice, who has been granted a year's leave of absence from the University and who was an active member of Phi Delta Pi while in college, was later hired as a Law Professor," during his talk he stated that he favored the law school possessing an element of practicality in it as contrasted with the "schools of jurisprudence." He said that he had to be taught students pleading with the 500 students or more whom he had had in his classes, and if "I have taught those men things that have been of value to them during years days spent as a law instructor have been in attendance.

Berenger Submits New Debt Plan to U. S. Commission
French Minister Proposes
Initial Annual Payments
for Five Years of
$25,000,000
(United Press)
Washington, April 23—The French finance minister, Henri Beringer today made a new offer to the American debt commission in an attempt to settle its $1,400,000,000 war debt to the U.S. Treasury. A trial was learned, as presented to the debt commission by Beringer were:
"One annual payment of $25,000,000 for the first five years; two payments of $80,000,000 to $80,000,000 per year; three payments of $120,000,000 per year for a period of 62 years."
Diplomats say that a tacit understanding has already been made to cover this point.
The French government is willing to drop the so-called security clause—a guarantee for lower French payments, should France's capacity to pay be diminished by lower German reparations receipts or other causes. However, it developed that the French want some sort of assurance, probably a "gentleman's agreement" that the French on, if crushed by subsequent circumstances which would limit their capacity to pay.
The offer today was described by those acquainted with it as being about the same as that made by former finance minister Minister Laichall last fall. However, friends of the offer insist that it has the advantage of making the offer since the present value is enhanced by intervals in the interest rate.
The session lasted less that thirty minutes due to Secretary Mellon's engagement for a cabinet conference but the conferences will meet again at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow bent on bringing the conference to an end.
