His speech opens up an interesting avenue of ulation. The possibilities suggested are bound What might not one accomplish if one could 1 one certain doctrine, nightly, into the ears of millions of people? Well, to be sure, the people could turn off their . receiving sets and go to the movies. But the: no denying that in radio we have a power for prop- aganda ten times as strong as anything that has existed heretofore. Do you remember the war days, when President Wilson sent the message of democracy and freedom ringing ‘round the world, swung millions of hearts to the allied ca and broke down the resistance of the German ma ? Pamphlets, by the thousands, were taken over the enemy lines by airplanes and dropped for peasants and workers and soldiers to read. Speakers shouted the message, almost literally from the housetops. Magazines and newspapers took up the word. By “the end of 1918 the entire world was persuaded | where jus' and truth lay. The job was magnificently done. But think how it could have been done if radio, as we know it now, had been available! Think what can be done some - day in the future, when some new ihessage is to be sent crying out ta the waiting world! Will the soviet, the communists, be the first to do it? Will they bring about their much talked of “world revolution” with radio as their main weapon? Probably no. And yet— See to it that they do not get the chance. See to it that the right to free speech, both over the radio and on the street corner, is kept inviolate. See to it that injustice is done away with, intolerance is made less intolerant and poverty is alleviated. Steer clear of censo By so doing we : guns, We needn't fear bolsheviks, or any other kind of radical, if we don’t give them grounds fer complaint, If we conduct curselves as we should, with wisdom and a passion for freedom, all the bearded Russians in the world may shout themselves hoarse into the Eiffel Tower microphones—they will go unheeded. spr Only Wall § Haste to unload industrial stocks following the unfavorable decision cf the Interstate Commerce Commission on the Nickel Plate merger was not indicative of unstable business conditions but just a flurry that really had a wholesome effect in stop- ping excessive speculation. Secretaries Mellon and Hoover declare that busi- ness conditions are most favorable as reflected in the high level of cmpleyment and the volume of production, Support given the market stopped the excitement prevalent last week on the stock ex change. Powerful banking inter as well as the investing public were able to rout the bears and restore normal trading. Nearly all the los: re- corded in two days of heavy selling were recove: ed in the stock rebound. The warning, howev had a good effect and curbed unwarranted opera- tions. Beauty Contests A young lady who represented a certain eastern city in one of the recent bathing beauty contests has sued for divorce. Her husband replies that she “has never been the same” since she won the con- test. : The chief objection to bathing beauty contest like the objection to overemphasis on college foot- ball; lies not in the effect on the spectators but the effect on those who take part. How anycne could expect a young, immature girl to remain level-headed and poised after going through a big bathing beauty contest is a mystery. Your Diploma Can’t Do the Thinking An alumnus of the University of Nebraska writes to the editor of that institution’s graduate paper gomplaining that he wasted four years of his life at the university because he was taught things “of no earthly use.” His instructors, he says, crammed his mind full of philosophy, history, literature and so on but did “not. give him anything that would help him “get on = in the world.” As a result, eight months after mg he finds himself holding down’a poorly ing job and despairing of getting a better one. Obviously, his criticism is not so much an assault the University of Nebraska itself as it is an it on the average American university.

This degision is in line with the ruling two weeks ago by United States District Judge Hand in New York that the gift tax provided in the 1924 revenue act was invalid in the case of a gift which was not made in anticipation of death. ; It is now a foregone conclusion that Judge Hand’s decision will be upheld by the supreme court, and that refunds will be obtainable by all persons whu have paid federal taxes on gifts they received from donors at a time when death was not anticipated.
