Statesmanship owann the end of the reparations conte Owen Y e Wwas exhausted that he in bed practically all of the time between ses sions. When he appeared it’ was with blick rings as big as butter plates under his eves. Yet he was tlways his patient, sti kindly self. and in’ the face of every threat of failure, courageous, optimnisti ind tenacious. When he had won, when the cagre ment was reached which meant that the war was really over after ten years of bickering, he still had spirit to announce it to the press with a eon his lips: “Tam not sorry because for some time now I have been reeciving inquiries from the United States as to when my vacation would be over.” Two days later, at a luncheon with the experts and correspondents, he gave an informal talk of tremendous import. No notes were taken. And he cause the speech touched such great issues that mis quotation would be serious, the newspaper men agreed not to quote Young directly. But what he did was to challenge capitalism. The world’s capi talistic machine is faulty as a tool for shaping in ternational relations. You can’t make a turbine ina blacksmith shop.

But as this page has said before, such a man should not be wasted in the White House merely to suit a party's need. N body, not even a Herbert Hoover, can make a go of the presidency without playing polities. And_ poli tics are passing. Industrial statesmanship must rule the world from now on. No man with a political slant would have the temerity to say what Young has said on various occasions. Owen Young is at the very core and axis of the new economic revolution, Let him stay there. and continue to be what he is today, the world’s greatest and least trammeled statesm: The Collegiate Line aN etossany of current coMegiate sling appears in the Princeton Alumni Weekly. compiled appar ently by an cimused elder.

It to do with the amateur-professional problem vy has the three-year eligibility rule. The Army contends that a cadet should be permitted to round out a full years of football. Nearly half of the Army athletes played on college teams before going to West Point. But the only real question is whether they went there to be trained as army officers, or merely to play football.
