Veterans Set an Example Rudolph Hess, Hitler’s chief aide in the Nast party, is reported to have accepted an invitation of French war veterans to address them in Paris. This, it is reported, would be the first step in an effort to get German and French veterans together on an amicable program looking toward the preservation of peace. Whether anything will come of it 201 is, of course, something that only time can tell. But there is something peculiarly hopeful about the effort, at any rate.

If there could be-a genuine ap- proach between French and German veterans, the non-combatants of the two nations would get a powerful ob- fect lesson on the futility of post- war suspicions and enmities, Why the Electoral College? Having persuaded the people of his home state to try # far-reaching re- form in substitution of a single- chamber state legislature for the tra- ditional two-chamber body, Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska is now planning to offer a much-needed reform to the nation as a whole. What the senator proposes to do is simply to abolish the electoral col- lege. His scheme would not break down state lines, in the final count; but it would make the electoral vote @ far more accurate reflection of the popular will, since each state's votes would be pro-rated among the can- didates on the basis of their record at the polls. It is hard to think of any very good argument against this reform. The electoral college is not only a cum- bersome anschronism; it actually makes it possible for a man to be elected president by a minority of the country’s voters. Tt is high time the system was changed, and Senator Norris’ plan for changing it looks as good as any. Education Above Sports Now that the smoke of the football season is dying away, it is worth while to heed some remarks made re- cently by President James Rowland Angell of Yale on the subject of in- tercollegiate athletics. “The young man who wishes to give all his time and energy to sports is quite entitled to do so, if he can afford it,” says President Angell, “but he has no place in a really reputable Ickes and Moffett Find Out Boss reat By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washingten Correspondent} Washington, Dec. %.—There’s & mountain of inside stuff in the back- of the housing row Jim Moffett, federal housing admin- iatrator, and tary Harold Ickes. ‘The two men stuek their necks out college where intellectual develop-| were simul! ‘ment is the primary concern, “A college institution of which this is not true is a traitor to its trust.” ‘This provides about as good a yard- stick for the measurement of “over- emphasis” as you could wish.
