Turkey. — Turkey is going in for scouting wholeheart edly. The ministry for public educa tion has ordered the compulsory enrollment of all schoolchildren, both boys and girls, in the Boy and Girl Scout organizations. The chief scout of Turkey will shortly be appointed and the whole government will be na tional in character. The en rolled children, of both sexes, will range in age from 13 to 17. bassador William E. Dodd N protested to Chancellor Hitler against assaults on Americans who failed to give the Nazi sa lute. He made these represen tations quietly but emphatical ly. His protest was effective. Being naturally calm and tactful, it is quite certain that he will not aggravate the present difficulty as his government calls Germany to account for press attacks on Amer ica. But he is not spineless and will not be merely a messenger boy. He has disproved the assumption that an ambassador to a major pow er must be rieh. “Just a poor his torian,” he lives simply and rides third class around Germany. He says this is a much better way of understanding Germany and know ing the people than attending state banquets—which he abhors. The Germans like him and even forgive his belief in democracy, which he bluntly expresses when such expression seems pertinent. His doctor’s degree was obtained at the University of Leipzig, and one of his best books was a biog raphy of Thomas Jefferson, written in German. They have forgiven that, too. Most of his thirty years as a his torian was spent at the University of Chicago. When he was appointed ambassador in June, 1933, he smilingly expressed doubt about be ing a diplomat. “The trouble is that a historian has to tell the truth,” he said. Two former am bassadors to Germany, Bancroft and White, were historians, but in less troubled times. He has spoken frankly, and has been only occa sionally vilified, as when Julius Streicher, Germany’s notorious anti-Semite, slurred his family on August 16, 1935. A native of North Carolina, he keeps a little cottage down in the Blue Ridge mountains, and drives around in a worn little old car when he comes home. He likes out of doors and is usually sun-tanned. He is medium, somewhat athletic in stature, with a look of keen aware ness and competence, which softens as he speaks—he is essentially a humanist. The failure of the League of Na tions he regards as one of the trag edies of mankind. He has long been a torch bearer for the Wil sonian ideals, co-editor of “The Works of Woodrow Wilson,” with Ray Stannard Baker. He is a for mer president of the American His torical association, highly distin guished and authoritative in his pro fession. He is sixty-seven years old. • • • “Too Many Nice Boys.” MR. TYLER DENNETT, presi- dent of Williams, says his col lege is getting too many “nice boys.” It was in 1929 that Profes sor Robert E. Rogers of M. I. T. told his class that the thing to do was to “be a snob and marry the boss’ daughter.” In 1934, he took it all back. A graduate might be a snob cum laude, but he was running an ele vator just the same. Out in Min nesota, a college dean recently urged students to take postgraduate courses in refined speech, dress and decorum. It must be hard for the youngsters to decide what to be or do. Dr. Dennett evidently doesn’t sug gest “rowdy” as the alternative of “nice.” What he seems to have in mind is that Williams should draw more from the main democratic bloodstream, and not so much from the blue-blood arteries. He thinks the exclusive preparatory schools are funneling too many students in to Williams. • • • The Admiralty Speaks. IR SAMUEL HOARE, British first lord of admiralty, defends his $500,000.000 naval plan and urges the United States to build right along with England—we are broth ers. Already there is a yell over here that England is, as usual, try ing to get us to pull her chestnuts out of the fire. But that’s some thing for the editorial page. Sir Samuel, with his high-pitched nasal voice, his long, sharp peda gogue’s nose, his glassy eye, and his way of laying things on the line, is always good copy for the report ers. Simultaneously, he broke the il lustrious and inquisitive nose, fig ure-skating, and was eased out as foreign minister because he was too realisti. His 94 ——- comeback was amazing in its swift ness. In a few months, he headed the admiralty, and articulate and dominant tory England had swung to his view on Ethiopia. His goldsmith ancestors founded Ye Oide Golden Bottel bank in the reign of Charles I. It is still owned by five Hoares, with one of them sleeping on the premises every night as their ancient charter re quires. Sir Samuel, it is believed, never sleeps, with an eye never closed on the empire where the sun never sets. S • Consolidated News Features. WNU Service.
