Too Much Efficiency Efficiency is one of the minor American gods, but even it can be carried too far. That is the reaction of members of the old school to the “College Date Bureau” which recently has been organized at the North Dakota Agricultural college in charge of young Mr. Gorman King, a lad who, judging by his picture, has quite a way with the gals. He has a raccoon coat and everything to make him properly collegiate. According to the daily newspapers and “The Spectrum,” college publication, some 250 guys and gals have registered for guidance in romance. It is duly set forth that the new organiza- tion has the “official sanction and approval of the college social committee,” but nothing is said as to fees charged, if any. There is much that is encouraging about American youth but this developmest is hardly one of them. One is left to wonder whether swains and maidens are too busy to look up their own prospects for pleasure under the moon or too shy. If it is the latter case, let loud hosannas ring, for most oldsters have nearly reached the conclusion that bash- fulness—an attribute of modesty—had just about vanished from the earth except in the minds of those mid-Victorian souls who were in college all of 20 years ago. If it is the former, whatever romance the system produces must seem like something warmed over. Clearly it spells down- fall for both male and female. What does such a thing do to the personal initiative of the modern girl who should be learning the code of the Canadian Mounties who “always get their man”? And what kind of spirit throbs in the breast of the male undergraduate that he should | tnini need the help of an impersonal dating agency? Anyone who has ever gone on a blind date—and who hasn’t?—must feel contemptuous of this commercialization of what used to be a great and interesting game. In the old days everyone guided his own footsteps. Well, almost everyone, and those who didn’t missed a lot of fun. At some time in his or her life every youngster should have the privilege of getting into—and out of—a red-hot love affair. It is an essential part of mental, spiritual, moral and social education. No one has really lived who hasn’t had that But who can imagine talking on the telephone for two hours to an “off-the-shelf” date? Who could really engage in a 40- minute leave-taking with a girl who was merely No. 57 on the list of the college feminine varieties Or No. 1, for that matter. The whole thing smacks too strongly of the ribald and inebriate gentleman who called up the welfare home with a query, “Do you save girls?” and who, upon being answered in the affirmative, shocked the serious-minded matron with the request, “Well, save me a brunette for Saturday night.” Over-ruling Mr. Cardenas Maybe it is just a gag, but the supreme court of Mexico has just over-ruled the president of our sister republic. Lazaro Cardenas generally is regarded as a dictator south of the Rio Grande, one who rules with an iron hand in a velvet glove, to be sure, but:nevertheless a boss who can be hard-boiled when necessity demands. But no less an authority than the official organ of the Na- tional Revolutionary party relates how the president was over- ruled by the supreme court and in—of all things—a labor dispute. It seems that Mexico has patterned after the United States to the extent of having two big labor organizations, one known as'the CROM and the other as the CTM. The latter is led by Lombardo Toledano, who seems to be the John L. Lewis of The two tangled in enrolling textile workers in Orizaba and (Cardenas finally solved the matter by issuing an order for all and sundry to recognize the CROM as the bargaining agency of the workers. ‘The CTM appealed to the supreme court and that body {issued an order recognizing the CTM. Maybe it is just for Northern consumption, but the National Revolutionary party goes to some pains to point. out that the ruling clearly proves that “(Cardenas does not exercise dicta- torship.” Whether he does or does not might have to be proved by More conclusive evidence. But it is worth something, these days of political strong men, to see the FORMS of democracy re- Bpected. Going Up Whatever may be said for or against the new national economy, it certainly has resulted in higher and bigger dams. When President Roosevelt visited the West in 1932 the highest dam in the world, completed that same year, was the Owyhee dam, 417 feet high. It impounds irrigation water for 107,421 acres of desert land in Eastern Oregon and Western Tdaho. Since then thousands of settlers have moved in and what was a desert waste when Roosevelt took office now is a blooming valley in which development has only been well started. He will see it on this trip. The Owyhee dam was a product of administrations prior to Mr. Roosevet’s, having been approved under Mr. Coolidge and started in 1928, the first year of the Hoover regime. It was then thought to be the culmination of a line of action begun | # riders with institution of the Bureau of Reclamation in 1902. -But since then the Owyhee dam has been exceeded by Boul- der dam, 727 feet high, and it, in turn, will be exceeded in height and size by the mighty structures being built at Bonneville on the Columbia, Truly the height of dams is going up as engineers learn more and as the West comes to a better appreciation of the necessity of storing water, putting it on otherwise infertile The Bismarck Tribunelwao DITORS Reprinted to show what ‘We may or they say. may not agree with them GETTING A BREAK (Baltimore Sun) ‘The far-seeing man, who combats not only armies -f opinion but even the drifts of world events in behalf of an idea which he knows to be good, is a not too familiar figure, out he is always an admirable one when be does appear. There are many times, however, when, deeply as we wish to see him succeed, realism com- pels the admission that the tides are against him. At those moments we are impatient of assurances that history will justify his position and eventually bring it to triumph; we feel we might easily spare such con- solations for some immediate break in his favor. Such a man in some senses is Sec- retary Cordell Hull. True, it would be wrong to say that his policies have been futile, for by dint of consistent faith and hard work he has, in fact, been bringing them slowly and piece- meal into actual being. But with the nations what they are foday, there is still a long, hard way to go before Mr. Hull’s sensible doctrine that the freeing of the world from the danger of war can be promoted by the free- ing of world trade is made to prevail. That it is not hopeless, however, ought now to be apparent even to pessimists as a consequence of Rep- resentative Hamilton Fish’s recent de- claration of adamant and undying op- position. Representative Fish has set himself to grapple fiercely with “the world peace via reciprocal trade” idea. This may well be the break for which Mr, Hull's friends have hoped. There are some foes that are worth an army of allies, and with Mr. Fish row stoutly offering himself as a critic, Mr. Hull’s road to success prob- ably looks clearer than it has in many a day. The converts to the Hull policy may even become multitudin- ous and evangelical, . BIT OF HUMOR NOW AND THEN 18 RELISHED BY THE BEST OF MEN.

That was the way those remarks were int by the press of the country and by the politi- cians, Upon each occasion Mr. Lewis’ words had followed comment by Mr. Roosevelt on the strike situation, mild to the point of inanity and im- partial to a degree. Twice Mr. Lewis has publicly and roughly rebuked Mr. Roosevelt for attempted impartiality, | iet him know in no uncertain terms| not that the CIO and Mr, Lewis regard impartiality from him as betrayal and will not stand it without protest. The reaction of the president to these belligerent .outbursts from Mr. Lewis has been strangely restrained. Upon neither occasion has he given a hint of the resentment he beyond question felt, which he had every right to feel, and which anyone in his place would have felt. On the contrary, he has taken the two lam- if Copyright 1937, by The Baltimore Sun 5 & MR. LEWIS’ VISIT If the recent visit to the White House of Mr. John L. Lewis had not practically coincided with the expo- sure of Mr. Hugo Black’s Ku Klux affiliations, it would have gotten a great deal more attention. As it is, certain ‘interesting and illuminating facts were obscured and their impli- cation lost. u The chief of these is that the “re- sumption of relations” between the President and the C. I. O, leader justi- fies the contention of those who held that while they may—and do—person- ally dislike each other, they are much too dependent in other ways, too closely linked, with too many mutual interests, for either to afford a genuine break. It also lends support to the contention that Mr. Lewis calculat- ingly believes that he will get more consideration from the White House if, instead of vying with his rival, Mr. Green, in unctuous adulation of the President, when the situation warrants he should assert himself with em- phasis, let it be known that he is no Presidential puppet to be patronizingly patted or politely pushed around, It will have to be conceded that if this was Mr. Lewis’ theory—and some ak 2 s # iH F 1 Alb |e 9 F il a Ee admitted.
