Fisher Addresses Noon-Day Forum on League Values
History of Europe Woul Have Been Changed Had U. S. Confirmed Association
"Had we joined the League, article 10 and all, and accepted the special treaty between England, France and Germany, so that rope since 1910 would have been different." Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale University, told members of the Chamber of Commerce at their noon meeting in his discussion of "World 'race'."
"France would then have felt her secure self. She would have known that Germany would never dare at all to attack France, so do we would bring down upon her instant retribution not only from France, but from England and the United States. Under these circumstances, there would never be any attack."

League Resuscitated Austria
"The League has resuscitated Austrin," Professor Fisher continued. "Two years ago Austria was bankrupt and appealed to the League for help. Think of it! A nation called upon its former enemies to help it and they did. Of course, the League, as such, could not render any direct help because it is not a upper-state. It has not the first principles of statehood." Austrin went to Rotary Club then it is like a government. It is a forum for discussion."
Professor Fischer told of the appointment of the Dutchman, Zimmerman, as receiver for Austria. He explained how Austria increased her revenue through the application of sound economic principles, and how on the advice of the council of the Lengue, the nations of the earth postponed the payment to the debts of Austria 20 years, in time helping Austria raise money.
France Opposes German Recovery "The result has been that the Austrian resuscitation has been the economic miracle of Europe. She is now on a stable basis," Professor Fisher said.
League Needs U. S. for Job
"The reason such a 'plan was not carried out for Germany was because France was willing to let a little Austria recover, but was not willing to let it fall." And France desires above everything else is security. She has fear of Germany on the brain. After she felt that America had deserted her, and that even England was not the friend she had hoped, she saw, or thought she saw, that her only real chance of victory was in her own military strength. This explains the so-called militarism of France today.
"In short, the reason the League of Nations has brought about the resuscitation of Austria, and not that of Germany, is that the League could not accomplish the large job, but could not accomplish the large job, lacking the United States."
League Needs U. S. for Job
“But tacking American, and to som
extent English support, and sym-
ety in the way they get the gare,
a get a pretax, in order to really
hold Germany down. We see, then,
that France was, in her opinion at
least, forced to such measures by our
gare, because she gave the guar-
se wanted.

Inebriate Cub Rubs His Eyes in Wonderment as He Beholds Fair Vision of Nymph, Undine
On being asked to cover "Undine" in the local tank, ye reporter stated that it was already been covered by W. S. G. A. But that was a poor jesst, so the burden of duty falls on his young shoulders.
The whole show was, worth the price of admission for more than one reason. There was dandy swimming and diving, then some more swimming, and then still more diving. Because it it was interesting and entertaining
The lead in the show was taken by Virginia Bowen as the fair seasymp. Undie. She is an excellent swimmer, a fine diver, and a pretty good actress. Opposite her was the young lover, Huldebrand, played to its fullest extent by Dorothy Higgin.
Our heroe she adopted parents were rather colorless, because they tried too hard to appear that which they weren't. Too bad.
Now as far as the inbate journalist肌 could tell, the fair Martha Hinkle was unaware of the butt the poaching from the sidelines didn't seem to be according to Hoyle. She ought to be able to "trip the hairs" about any such audible instructions.

"A Question Whether or No Nation Can Be Cajoled."
Says Ise
"It is a question whether or not the country can be cailed and hood-winked into believing that Fall's administration was all right," said Prof. John Ise in his address on "The Tepet Dome" before a meeting of Women's Forum yesterday. "The country will be shown in the election next fall."
Professor Ise traced the growth of the resources of the West. He explained how the West has favored exploitation. He showed that although Roosevelt favored setting inside naval and army reserves and took away his powers to set aside a reserve by putting a clause on the budget for defense in veto. He followed through the chain of political events which split the Republican party and finally caused the election of Wilson.
"This then gave some people a cold chill." said Professor Iso
In 1920 an act was passed setting aside naval and army reserves and opening others for leasing. Fall was put in as Secretary of the Interior.
He told hardying wrote a letter to Denby requesting him to give Fall authority to lease the Teapot Dome to Sinclair, claiming that the owners of nearby lands were draining the lease. "He overlooked the fact that they should have bought up the land," said Professor Ise.

The Musical Courter states: "At the Charles W. Clark studio recital, May 7, the program was given by Nee Pebbeo, soprano. Miss Peer Tweedle, bassoonist. Miss schooling. She sang as a soprano, though her voice was contralto when she began her studies under Mr. Clark. She still has the low tones, but her teacher has so increased the tone to include an entire soprano repertoire."

There was a relay race between the "monstrous thoughts" and the "beautiful thoughts" and the latter won, as is quite right in this enlightened day and age. We always did pick losers.
Now there were many and sundry methods of swimming and diving shown to the spectators and they enjoyed it withal. Instruction in life-saving was also tendered the interested audience without any extra charge whatever. All under the same canopy.
As far as the plot goes, there seemed to be little, if any. It might have been dispensed with the Dainty costumes might not have been so logically introduced. But then, a wet costume looks pretty bedraggled.

Standards Higher for Qualifications of Teachers Now
Placement Bureau Locate More Than 546 People in Schools for Next Year
Between 75 and 100 candidates have applied for teaching positions through the teachers' placement bureau have been placed so far. Owing to slight inaccuracies in keeping a record of the exact number of those who apply, as a good many come in by telephone and others are placed without giving notice to the teacher. The total number of applicants cannot be accurate; it is estimated that more than 546 have applied.
"While the actual number of teachers located by the bureau is satisfactory this year, it has required more time and more effort on the job. I remember that former years by far the largest number of appointments was made during the month of May. This year the appointments have extended over three years, though they have been regular." Professor Johnson, head of the buren.
Officials Require Basics...
This year the standards of qualification required by the head of the better schools system are enacting, Superintendents in the schools in larger cities are inaiting on experienced teachers, or those who have had practice teaching. The claim is that the salaries are high and the facilities possess a higher standard of qualifications. In some instances those who visit the school officers for the purpose of selecting teachers refuse to intercept candidates who have not been properly trained or have had some practice teaching.
"There will probably be places for all candidates enrolled with the teacher, but mostly those who have had experience teaching or practice teaching. Others will have to wait for appointments in the summer," said Professor Johnson.
Not in recent years have superintendents had such large numbers of applications from teachers already in service. There seems to be a great desire among teachers for change. The two reasons for change are to reduce the number of students in the system of schools is in operation and the desire for a higher salary.
Bureau to be Open All Summer
The bureau is open all summer. Those applying late will have the same assessment as those applying now. Candidates for positions should enroll with the bureau where a complete record is kept of their academic work and professional training. These records are always available for the use of supervisee teachers in the school board desiring teachers.
Many of the applicants are placed on the recommendations of the bureau. Others, the superintendents and managers. The service of the bureau is free. It not only places teachers but it is interested in the success of those who it has placed and in their pro-creation. These teachers are enrolled on the files of the office for promotion. The list is not as large this year as usual, owing to the fact that the usual number of changes at the bureau is not as large as in former years.

Balloonist Finishes Flight for U. S. Weather Bureau
(Dr. Salango Service)

He landed near Carey, Ohio; early in the morning of May 17, after a 13 hour flight from Scott Field, near East St. Louis, Ill. Its seventh flight, attempted a few days before he was rescued by a five-day storm which forced a landing only a little more than an hour after the start was made.

Dr. Irving Fisher Advocates Entry in World League
Gives Advantages Derivable From International Help and Co-operation of Nations
"The court is the supreme invention of civilization," said Dr. Irving Fisher, professor of political economy at Yale University, in his address to "America's Interest in World Peace," at convoitation this morning.
"The court has made peace possible in ever widening circles," said Doctor Fischer. "It has abolished war between individuals, between cities and states." It has shown definitely that the state is a law animal, not a war animal.
"I believe you will all agree with me that we need a world court, and that we need a forum. But some of you say, 'Not this court and not this forum.' I reply, 'Why not?' As yet I have failed to find an adequate answer to this simple question. But I know that another reply. It is an impossible reply. Only one forum and only one court exist. We have two alternatives: to stay out altogether, or to join the existing organizations.
Country Now Reconsidering
"There is a change of heart going on among millions of Americans today in regard to the world court. The whole country is reconsidering the stand taken four years ago, and we are now ready to take action. Public opinion is crystallizing, and this is necessary. As long as we dissipate our energies following various plans, the United States will be able to demand for the past five and a half years."
"Wars are the growing pains of civilization. We have abolished wars except between nations, and the final victory has been in the international war as an institution."
Professor Fisher pointed out that 47 nations have already joined the court and none of them have ex-
cellence. He argued for membership in it, "If it has proved so successful for these nations, why cannot the United States add to the court the prestige of the most power-
ful nation in the world," Professor Fisher asked.
"It is now impossible to establish some other court and league because the organization have been built up under a preponderance of whim of a few reincroniables in one nation. That would be like having a territory attempt to alter the constitution of the United States before a war." Professor Fisher said.
Gives Selfish Reasons
There are six selfish reasons why the United States should participate in European affairs, according to Professor Fisher. These are: (1) The court and the league deserve support on their record, "the league," he said, "has prevented six wars, made the court possible, resuscitated Austria, and settled other minor disputes." (2) The traditions do not prevent the United States from emulating a voice she has had in world affairs. (3) Armament competition must be stopped. (4) Europe must be restored to buying and paying power. (5) War must be stopped.
Professor Fisher gave as additional and unselfish reasons for America's participation in world affairs the fact that Europe is the mother country, and also that we are honor bound to what we can to prevent war because of the trauma which was made to the men who fought in the war.
"They kept their faith with us, and now we must not break faith with them," was the concluding remarks.
