Green expresses the belief that in Paul Hoffman we would have as secretary of state an even more ardent Anglophile than Acheson. In the editorial on "British Rubber: Fraud and Betrayal," The Tribune mentions Mobilization Director Wilson's tender regard for Europe.

Mr. Green is an optimist if he thinks we shall get anything better than Acheson in any Truman appointment; and if Wilson were traded off, The Tribune would find a new incumbent no less enamored of Europe than Wilson and he might even be worse. The fact is that since the middle '30s, no American has been appointed to high office. Roosevelt and Truman have appointed Democrats and Republicans, Gentiles and Jews, Protestants and Catholics, with little outward appearance of regard for race, creed, or political affiliation. But there has always been an unvarying common denominator: invariably the appointee has been an Anglophile, or.

The coast guard is charged with protecting life afloat, including, of course, the lives of persons using small craft. It has power to ask appropriations to maintain channels to its stations, but as a matter of policy rarely recommends such appropriations.

The facts remain that protection of life on Lake Michigan in this area is inadequate, would be improved by reestablishment of the coast guard station on a proper harbor at Wilmette, and this has not been done because of failure to coordinate the activities of two federal agencies. This, however, should not be considered a reflection on the army engineers assigned here or the coast guard, who are bound by regulations and policies established in Washington.

MacArthur. On April 10, in the midst of the election campaign, Menzies made a speech in which he warmly praised the American general. The prime minister supported MacArthur's view that a commander who is directed to fight a limited campaign is at a great disadvantage against an unencumbered foe. With an obvious reference to the British critics of MacArthur, Menzies said: "When the several partners in a great and vital mission are completely agreed on so much, it is foolish for them to disagree on so little." On the day following this speech, Mac-Arthur was fired by President Truman. La-borite opponents of Menzies were jubilant over the ouster and, following the example of the British Labor party, they charged that both Menzies and MacArthur were "war mongers." Fears were expressed by some of Menzies' supporters that the uproar over MacArthur would hurt the Menzies Liberal-Country party coalition at the polls.

The fears were groundless. Australian voters returned Menzies government to power. LAMENT The words I write bring in no cash, (Just look inside my purse) For tho I start with poetry It steadily gets verse. Carl Selph Pvt. Carroll has just finished his basic admired him.

L. writes: Is is better for a Test Your Horse Sense By Dr. George W. Crane AUDITING THE STATE UNIVERSITY Rep. Fowell, the Democratic leader in the house, has introduced a bill to enlarge the powers of the state auditor which, inadvertently or by design, would have given that officer an unwise extension of authority over the University of Illinois.

The bill also would affect the Southern Illinois university at Car-bondale, and perhaps some other state activities as well. The state university is an institution established by statute and administered by nine elected and two ex-officio trustees. State funds are appropriated to it by the legislature, and any of its "earnings," such as student fees and rents of residence halls, must be deposited in the state treasury and appropriated by the legislature before they can be used. All of the university's transactions now pass thru the state auditor's office. He must approve every voucher drawn, including the pay checks of the faculty and other university employes.

In practice, however, his authority in this respect is limited to determining that money appropriated by the legislature is available to meet the obligation represented by the voucher. The Towell bill expands this authority with the provision that the auditor shall not issue a warrant unless he is satisfied that the amount to be paid is correct and that the obligation has been incurred in with law." This would make the state auditor the judge- of whether the trustees of the university and their agents are proceeding according to law. He must be satisfied of legality. There is not even a provision that the attorney general, the legal officer of the state, shall be consulted. Whether the power of the auditor over the executive departments of the state government should be increased is a matter open to debate.

No good reason has been given for extending his present powers over the University of Illinois. The responsibility for its operation rests in its elected trustees. Its accounting practices are a model for other institutions all over the country, which frequently seek the advice of Lloyd Morey, the veteran university controler. His accounts are audited annually by national accounting firms, a far more secure protection against irregularities than any political supervision could give. What's Your Question? ANSWERED BY PROF.
