YOUTH AGAINST WAR That a million 'young American college students could be induced to assemble on one day and declare that they will never don their country's uniform or fight their country's foe is something to disturb the graybeards. Before we. let ourselves get too -worked up over it, however, it might be sensible to sit down calmly and try to figure out whose fault ft all'is. It won't.

do to blame it all on personal Uess or cowardice. That answer too pat; it explains nothing, but merely substitutes one puzzle for another. These youngsters did what they did -because, they had on their minds. What was it, and how did get there? It is reasonable to assume, first" of -ail, that they thinking about 1918. As we get far enough away from the World War to obtain a good perspective on It, we can that tt Was one of the great tragedies of history; not be- It took such a frightful number- of lives, but because those lives seem to have been poured out for little purpose.

A war to save democracy, which left democracy the verge of a to end: miUtarism, which left militarism monger than ever before; a war to despotism, which succeeded only in replacing fee despotism of divine right with that of brute what young man, collegiate. or otherwise look back at that without feeling. that somebody -kad sold his elders a colossal gold brick? We have had other post-war generations, but none of them looked back at any such thing as that. Our other wars, bloody and stupid and avoidable though they may have been, did at least settle things. This one left a worse mess than it found and next nothing.

Jut that isn't all that may have been on our collegians' minds. They also had the recent munitions trade disclosures to mull over, and the mulling" can't have been very pleasant. If the profits-before-patriotism of the last year have not been enough to set any young-man'a heart against war, nothing could, ever do it To ask a young man to give up his life for something bigger better than himself Is one thing- to msk him to doit so that some TNT magnate -or armor plate peddler can reap a 60 per cent dividend is thing quite -different. It's not exactly If eoUegiate youth choked it. In other words, if our young men are off on war, we have only ourselves to blame, The stupidity which on wars that ihould be avoided, the greed which debases the high, ideals for which men are asked to die these are the real villains behind the students' anti-war demonstration.

CONFUSION IN EDUCATION President Robert Maynard Hutching of the Unl- Jtrsity of Chicago has again trained Inquisitorial squarely on his own profession. Hi. conclusions In. bis current Yale are certainly worth passing on. The system higher -education, Dr.

Hutchins, has lost its meaning la a maze of confined aims so that college degree no longer means It should, or did. For charges that "instl- have lost their souls trying to do money." Moreover, colleges have pursued confused notion' democracy which allows students to stay in public education as long.as;they like, studying aimlewly, lip- nozardly, until -finally a degree cinched. So confused the training offered, say. President Xutchms, that all students are- shunted down the-same i I hi her 1 rnin In a wordrthe call, or Hutchin, Ae way to a few VICTORY FOR WHAT?

After all these years, it is doubtful if Congress will break tradition to change, the title of the cabinet post, and that.doesn't seem.to be important, as long as the department rernains on, right'track.

Mr. Ickes is directing a vast, personnel toward pro- tection-of'American resources! If that-duty is performed well, the Department of the Interior can lay claim to a great contribution.
