A Change in Nicaragua
TJRESIDENT HOOVER and Secretary Stimson of the state
department have decreed that no longer will the United States
send her marines into the wilds of Nicaragua to battle with the
native brigands. Americans in Nicaragua from now on will be
more or less dependent upon the native constabulary which has
been trained wholly by United States marine officers. American
lives and American property will be protected, claims the state
department., but now in a manner more fully endorsed by the
native populace.
In the present state of international complications the new
United States Caribbean policy stands forth as an example
worthy of commendation. It has long been a question whether
or not the intentions of this country in Nicaragua were humani
tarian or devoted to the interests of a few American capitalists.
President Hoover has removed all feelings of distrust so far as
we are concerned in Nicaragua. He has tried to show the world
that we do not intend to strangle the little Central American
country, hut that we are attempting to live up to a promise we
made several years ago when we claimed that our only interest
in Nicaragua was the stabilization of the native government.
Of course, we do not disclaim all selfish motives in the recent
change in our Nicaraguan policy, for our first consideration is
still the protection of our own nationals in Central America. But
how much more effective in establishing sound international re
lationships will be the placing in the hands of the natives the
sovereign right of home rule without interference. It has been
America’s concern, it would seem, only to insure safety for her
nationals, and America for many years has held that the Nic
araguans have been unable to protect foreigners, much less them
selves.
Mr. Hoover's action may be considered as a forward step in
remaking America’s foreign policy. It marks a trend that will
undoubtedly receive the whole-hearted sanction of the world, and
it may effect a considerable change in the viewpoint of other
nations regarding the real meaning to them of the United States.
An Axe for Another Editor
A NOTHER college editor was expelled the other day when
Qunnar Norberg, editor of College Forum, was charged with
“conduct unbecoming a Stanford student.” Norberg’s magazine,
published off the campus as College Forum instead of the in
tended Stanford Forum, proved objectionable to acting Presi
dent Swain, news dispatches say.
The May issue, second published, was sent to the Emerald
editor recently for introduction on tlie campus. Its standard is
decidedly high. Contributions critical, literary, and expository
—are accredited to writers in several coast universities. Its
spirit is liberal, but it is decidedly not radical.
Perhaps it might be described as evidencing that student
spirit and inquiry which President Arnold Bennett Hall would
like to see on this campus. May issue of College Forum, we
believe, is a notable contribution to coast magazines, collegiate
and general.
Whatever may have been President Swain’s reason for ex
pelling Editor Norberg (and Norberg’s letter to the Emerald
editor indicated that there existed a personal feud), it is to be
hoped that College Forum will continue. Norberg may or may
not have been guilty of “conduct unbecoming a Stanford stu
dent," but to kill College Forum would seem to be conduct un
worthy of an educator.
ILLION-DOLLAR bonuses one year; widespread wage-cuts
x the next. Evidence of such sharp turns in major industries
argues regulation to spread profits of good years over lean
periods. In the steel and iron industry such changes in profits
have been noted.
James A. Farrell, president of the United Slates Steel cor
poration. in addressing a meeting of the American Iron and Steel
Institute yesterday, charged member companies of the institute
with cutting wages of employees. The industry cannot be stabi
lized. he said, if such practices are allowed.
Yet it was not so long ago that one of our leading steel
companies voted a high official a bonus for one year in excess
of one million dollars. This year, because dividends are endan
gered, wages are being cut even when work i carried on for
only two or three days a week
Farrell is to he commended for his efforts in trying to stabi
lize hi - industry by keeping the wage-scale the same for cum
cor..par.:; iganized in the institute. At the same time
a question arise as to whether turn about is not perhaps the

Miss Dobbins To Talk

Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock in
the Oregon building. The talk will

POLITICIANS TURNING
THOUGHTS TO ELECTION
(Continued from Tape One)
completed, all has become fairly
quiet along the political front, and
nothing- political of great interest
has occurred since the famous
meeting Wednesday night which
was addressed by the stormy
petrel of the marines, Major Gen
eral Smedley D. Butler.
Candidates and managers, how
ever, are holding frequent meet
ings to outline the final battle of
the campaign, and Sunday and
Monday nights will undoubtedly
see numerous meetings being held
around the campus to arouse the
backers to that high pitch of en
thusiasm which is so necessary on
the eve of an election.
Campus prophets are still pre
dicting the election of split tickets,
because of the weak points and
strong points which are evident in
all the tickets. The ultimate doom
of party politics is being predicted
quite extensively. This has in
duced campaign managers to make
every attempt to hold their sup
port together for the straight
tickets. The outcome should be
interesting.
Announcement will be made in
Tuesday’s paper of the basis for
determining class standing for the
purpose of elections, according to
the provisions of the A. S. U. O.
constitutions. Election boards for
the three classes will also be an
nounced at that time.

Our New Style Drapes represent the recent trend towards

Draperies soon lose their brightness and distinction,
making it necessary to replace them quite frequently.
Old chairs and davenports can be re-upholstered to look
