AEARNED MENHEAR PRAISE OF REVOLT Speaker Says Millions of Mexicans Have Been Freed From Slavery. Several popular beliefs resarding political conditions in the Western| Hemisphere fell today before the tacks of speakers at the fina] sessions of the 17 societies affiliated with the American Council of Learned Socicties. Among the statements with which students of history and political science | ®et ablaze cherished opinions were the Lollowing: he Mexican Revolution. by remov- Ing the domir of foreign invest- ors in Mexico and freeing from slavery h e on o country and | b If the D of the country an ; mel of the Kans twice as many people as were liber by the Civil War in this country, W |s‘: ‘)}” octare Hesetve Univeraity. a great contribution to the future| of that nation and to the | tes were forced into viet Russia to protes servi to tente of Central Euro- 2ean power: 3= responsible for peace in central Europe. an revolution has given time in 400 vears free- movement to the m of workers in Me Frank Tannen- baum of the 1 e of Economics declared at a lur ing of the American Political ience As- sociation. The revolution is still soing on, he said. “Un and in some cases un- til 1017," B jeclared, “one-half of the total population of Mexico s tied to the s by a system of debts which was in fact, if not in law, equivalent to slavery. The system has now disappeared, both in law and in fact. There is no place in Mexico today where the people are kept on the land against their will, and if one recalls that the number of people freed from serfdom was approximately seven million and that our Civil War freed only about three and one-half million, and that our negro population was but a very small fraction of the total population at the time, it becomes obvious that the change that has taken place in the social structure is of a very profound character.” Small Communities Freed. Another good result of the revolu- tion. he said, is that small rural com- munities have been freed from the dominance of large haciendas. A third factor he pointed out to be racial revival, resulting from freeing the Indian from a condition in which he was looked upon as a pariah. Ruling groups of the country formerly were the large land owners and foreigp investors, using the army and politicians as instruments of con- trol, he said. Now the agricultural and industrial worker has the dominat- ing position. The standard of living has been raised, he concluded, and the government is mow active in seeking 10 benefit the mass of the people. The history of the Baltic pact was given to members of the American Historical Association by F. W. Nowak of Boston University, who out- lined the position of the countries after the withdrawal of the Russian forces during the war, and from then to the close of the conflict. In 1918, he said, Finland, Esthonia, Latvia and Lithuania ‘“received de facto recognition from Great Britain and France at the price of subservi- ance to the policies of the allied powers, who sought to make use of the Baltic territories as a base of operations for an anti-Bolshevik ad- vanoe . into Russia. Realizing that there was no prospect for independ- ence, the Balt treaties with Soviet Russ Solidarity of Interest. The fear of Russian aggression and the need for economic co-operation have created a solidarity of interest between Poland, Finland, Esthonia, Latvia and Lithuania that is “none the less real though it has not yet taken the form of a general Balkan pact,” he declared. “Constructed originally against Hun- gary, the little entente has developed into an effective instrument for the creation of a new order in Central Euro Robert J. Kerner of the University of Missouri said. “When the Geneva protocol falled the little entente offered to take part in a Cen- tral European Locarno.” He declared that Foreign Minister Benes of Czecho- slovakia almost alone was instru- mental in sccuring accord between Great Britain and France at Geneva.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, December 30.—The manager of one of Cin- cinnati’s burlesque houses last | night announced he has an agent in the field with contracts for the appearance for & week at his show- house of the 10 men and 2 women who composed the jury in the George Remus murder trial. No details of the offer being de to the jurors were made l\u!: save that “the offer was liberal nd that any member, or the jury entire, was at liberty to offer any sort of entertainment or appeal thought to be welcome to the pub- lic.

Newstetter nderis of Mil The National Political Science Asso- ciation turned this morning to a clinical study of the Government ma- chinery in a series of round table conferences at the Mayflower. Dr. James Brown Scott, noted inter- national lawyer, and Dr. W. W. Willoughby of Johns Hopkins Uni- versity led in the discussion of the at powers, | diplomatic processes of the Govern- order of |ment. Dr. Scott told of the participa- tion of the United States in the two Hague Conferences and predicted a third Hague Conference in the Sum- mer of 1929 under the auspices of the League of Nations. Dr. Willoughby discussed the procedure at the recent val Disarmament Conference at Geneva. The change from secret to open con- ferences was discussed, but it was brought out that the great bulk of the business still is carried on in secret committee meetings and that only matters already agreed upon are al- lowed to come before the public in the plenary sessions. Representative Dickinson of Towa and Chester C. Davis, consulting agri- cultural economist, led in a discussion of the progress of legislation before both Houses of Congress and the re- lations between the State and Federal Governments were described by El- wood Mead, commissioner of reclama- tion, and H. C. Goding of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry. State Reorganization. The State reorganization movement, the object of which is to place more power in the hands of the governor with the object of simplifing the whole structure, generally has proved a fail- ure, W. H. Edwards of the University of North Dakota told the round-table conference on methods of public ad- ministration. In the 13 States, which have adopted this plan since 1917, he said, it has been attended with admin- istrative scandals. Historical research now has taken on an international character, Waldo G. Leland, permanent secretary of the National Council of Learned Societies, told the American Historical Associa- tion. There are now, he said, two in- ternational bodies conducting projects of historical research, both of which {have been created since the war. The International Union of Academies, he pointed out, now iIncludes 16 coun- tries and probably will take in Ger- many, Austria and Russia in the near futu: The objective is the co-opera- tion of historians in the universities of all those countries on a half dozen projects in mediaeval and modern his- tory. The second, he said, is the Interna- tional committee of Historical So- cieties, which now has its headquar- ters in Washington, which publishes an international yearbook of historical bibliography. Discusses Modern Family. The American Sociological Soclety is holding its final sessions today, with a large number of papers on the family, the church and the de- velopment of personalities. The mod- ern family is losing its status as an institution and has become a mere unity of interacting personalities, Dr. ! Ernest W, Burgess of the University of Chicago told this group. Dr. Ells- worth Faris of the same institution spoke on the origins of the church sect in modern society, pointing out that the emergence of a new religious group always is preceded by a period of unrest, followed by a vivid sense of class consciousness and aloofness from the rest of society. The prog. ress of reassimilation into the body of :zdely, he sald, usually is a gradual . Dr. Faris urged a more intensive scientific study of various sectarian grou'pn)ln’order 10 determine the exact peychological reactions of il S which brought Predicts Debt Revision. Revisibn of debt settlements for the benefit both of the United States and its European creditors was pre- dicted before the American Economic ution last night by Prof. E. L. Bogart of the University of Illinois and Representative A. Platt Andrew of Massachusetts. Mr. Andrew said that he had “too much confidence in the judgment and conscience of the American peo- ple” to believe that the debt settle- ments would stand. Prof. Bogart foresaw the time when American publie opinion, based on a new con- cept of internations) relations, would demand their alteration. The withdiawal of the wealth nec- eswary 0 make payments from the debtor nations, he wald, wams a severe burden to them, whereas ita recelpt by the United Ktates constituted only a drop in the bucket of the national Income. The disproportion hetween the benefit o the United States und the burden to the debtors, he indicated, wis m lrong reason for radical re. n of the debt mettlements, Che loun of material in a catas. |trophe to protect both lender and bor. rower from mortal danger,” wald Mr. Andrew, “is essentially different from the ordinary business loan.

The cou ther than the Consti- tution, have iblished the princ ple of religious liberty on a firm basis in the United States, Clarence I3. Martin, retiring president of the Ame n Catholic Historical Association, told that body yesterday. The original Constitution, he point- ed out, merely prohibited the Govern- ment from making religious discrimi- nations, but imposed no restrictions on the States. Later it became the practice to insist that State constitu- tions contain a similar provision be for the Commonw th was admitted to the Union, but this left the original colonies with full liberty to impe 1e- ligious restrictions if they saw fit. Christians Favored. Most of the colonies, he said, allowed religious freedom only = to Christi and some restricted it to One of the causes for outh Carolina joined in the Revolution was that George III al- lowed the free development of the Catholie Church in Quebec, Mr. Mar- tin declared. Although there is no official religion in the United States, according to the Constitution, Mr. Martin said, th courts generally have upheld Chr tianity, which is part of the com- mon law, and the Supreme Court has held that this is a Christian ion. The apparent conflict between the Constitution and the common law, he said, ha ases out over various observance statutes:and the courts almost invari- ably have upheld them. Some courts have held that Sunday is a holy day, in accordance with the common law while others have evaded the difficulty by maintaining that it lies within the police power of a community to set aside one day of rest and need have no religious significance. Sanctity of Confesslonal. The courts have held consistently, he said, that immoral or illegal acts cannot be perpetrated in the guise of religion, even though their suppres- sion may act seriously against the in- terests of the sect. The sanctity of the confessional, he said, is not upheld by common law, but has been firmly established by ju- dicial decisions in the United States. Some States automatically disqualify as a witness any clergyman to whom a confession has been made, while others give him full right to refuse to testify, but do not prohibit him from doing so. The courts also have upheld the points in the common law which seem to make Christianity official by sus- taining the exemption of clergymen from military service, he added. Re- ligious courts have been upheld in matters of church discipline, but the law courts have stepped into disputes over church property and determined the faction with the best title, Mr. Martin asserted. — LT. MAITLAND CITES NEED OF FLIGHT PRECAUTIONS Hawaiian Trip Winner Tells Lions Slight Defect May Bring Disaster. The importance of aviators exer- cising all possible precautions before starting on a long flight was empha- sized by Lieut. Lester J. Maitland, who made the flight from San Fran- cisco to Hawail with Lieut. Albert F. Hegenberger, at a_luncheon of the Lions Club in the Mayflower Hotel yesterday. Lieut. Maitland told of his flight over the Pacific and stressed how some slight miscalculation or some trivial defect in one of the Instru- ments used in flights may result in disaster. The long flights over both land and sea have furnished much valuable information to aviators, he said. Vocal solos were rendered at the luncheon by Miss Elvina Rowe, ac- companied by R. Dean Shure. Announcement was made that a “ladies day” will be held in connec- tion with the regular luncheon of the club in the Mayflower Hotel next Wednesday. Mr. Shure is chairman in charge of arrangements.

Vincent Massey, the Canadian Min- ister, spoke of the changing view- points in history and the movement now under way to devote more re- the past rather than to d sties and battles, In his own college days, Mr. Massey said, history was dignified, well written and scholarly and might have been classified as one of the arts. At present, he felt, there are two kinds of history—that of the scholars and that of the sensationalists.
