Does he believe that Russia is .as frankly and_ sincerely dealing with the. world as the United States iis, or as other nations included in the Western Bloc? What does he think of the instruc- tions given the Big. Four deputies from Russia to oppose everything that the Uni- ted States and Great Britain favored in the conference recently held in London? ———— MONOGRAPII Dear Folks: | Never tell evil of a man if you do not know it for a certainty, and if you know it for a certainty, then ask your- self, “Why should I tell it; is it neces- sary?” THE ORACLE. On A LUMP OF COAL Totalitarian government rests on auth- ority, while Democratic government rests On consent. Ask the ordinary citizen to describe a lump of coal, and he’ll tell you that it’s a blacks heavy, ‘Fathey dirty subgtance whose reason for being is to provide heat for homes and energy for industry. These are vitally important functions —but it is now being found that coal is a great deal more versatile than that. In the near future coal wif not only be a solid fuel, but wild be a source of gasoline and other liquid and gas fuels, and the raw materia] base of innumerable chemical prodycts. And, luckily, our known reserv- es of coal are virtually limitless. According to an authorative based on technical information by a large number of governmental! industrial organizations, “Complete con- version of coal to liquid and gas fuels and to,chemicals means the establishment of whole new major industries.” To be prac- tical, the plants must be of great size. Each will cost in the neighborhood of $100,000,000, and will employ 2,000 men directly and 4,000 indirectly. A pilot plant is now under construction and, if it lives up to expectations, the work will go ahead as rapidly as conditions permit. There, in brief, is the transformation that a commonplace lump of black coal is now undergoing. Back of it lies decades of exacting teséatch and experiment. And fred enterprise is turning theories into practice. A. conyersationalist, it seems, is one who can tell twice 48 many details as any- body wants to hear. If you know. what a man does you do not need to know what he says. Actions speak louder than words. WHAT ABOUT, FOOTBALL? Thoughtful. educators, leaders of ¢ol- lege and university life, are beginning to talk out about the football situation. They are being -joined, occasionally, by sports writers and coaches, What is ithe complaint? Simply that football has become so important that the effort to secure players for the eleven be- comes the ‘supreme interest and activity of the institution, its backers and the al- umni. It is that prowess on the gridiron becomes so important that good players, regardless of their lack of intellect, are “feather - bedded” through their classes. Obviously, ithe! cqnelusion is apparent to students, who become cynical of the ideals proclaimed. by those who are supposed to instruct them. There ‘is evidently something to the complaints. Grantland Rice, a well-known writer on sports, recently said that pro- fessional coaches “told me that certain colleges were paying more for their stars than the, professional teams could offer.” Jack Neely, coach at Rice Institute, has publicly stated his .disgust with the present status of recruiting and subsidiza- tion. “Pop” Warner, one of the respected cel- ebrities of foothal, was recently quoted: “Subsidies for college players have devel- oped to a point at which they cannot be curbed.” Dr. Paul F.
