Williamstown, July 24- The origin and development of the British Institute of International Affairs was described at the Institute of Politics today by its founder, Lionel Curtis of London, now secretary of the body and editor of the Round Table Magazine. He said that the British Institute, similar in its scope to the Institute of Politics, grew out of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. A number of publicists in Paris, Mr.

Curtis said, hailing from many different lands, agreed to found in their separate countries institutes for the study of international af- fairs. National Phone Exchange. "Our idea in Paris" Mr. Curtis went on, "was to establish in Lon. the center of our commonwealth, a telephone exchange through which all kinds of people concerned with international affairs could keep in contact with each other.

Wel look forward to a time when all the leading nations of the world will have provided themselves with national telephone, object exchanges." of the Institute of Politics is enlightenment," President Harry A. Garfield of Williams College said today in an address formally opening the institute's fifth annual session. "The object of the institute is humanistic, it is also vital," the speaker said. "Unless men meet on a common ground to discuss differences in order that common purposes may be discovered, there is no hope of peace in the world. We have discovered that many things formerly regarded as justifiable causes of war can be avoided by open and informal discussion betwen official unofficial representatives of the nations."

AUDITORE TO STAY IN JAIL; POVERTY STORY IS REJECTED Justice Hagarty Declines to Accept Bankrupt's Story of How His Money Went. Frank Auditore must remain in Raymond Street Jail, at least until Sept.

11, as the result of a decision handed down today by Justice Witliam F. Hagarty, who declined to helieve the fanciful tales of reckless extravaganco and vast expenditures for pleasure told by Auditore in his effort to prove himself a poor man. Auditore is judgment debtor to the tune of more than $340,000. The heaviest judgment was obtained- by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Giuseppina Auditore Parascandola, widow of his brother, Joseph Auditore, who sued as a partner of the Auditore Company, stevedores, and charged Frank with diverting the firm's treasury to his own uses.

Frank overtaxed the credulity of Justice Hagarty, however, by saying there was nothing left of the $100,000 in Liberty bonds and $250,000 in cash which he obtained from 1920 to 1923. Auditore said that part of the Liberty bonds were turned over to his wife, $56,000 was invested in German marks; that he spent $25,000 for diamonds for woman who accompanied him to Europe in 1923 and that the expenses of the trip were that $93.000 which he had left after the European junket was put in a bank, that he gave $30,000 to his brother James: that he took a trip to Cuba, accompanies by a woman for whom he bought $7,500 worth of clothes and that, she stole $2,000 in cash from him besides some jewelry; that he lost $35,000 in the races in Cuba and that the trip cost him more than $50,000. Concerning the foregoing statement and the schedules submitted by Auditore, Justice Hagarty said: am not satisfied that the petition and schedules are correct and that the petition is just and fair. The petitioner has failed to account to my satisfatcion for the Liberty bond: and the $250,000 in cash." VETERAN NEWSMAN OUT OF HOSPITAL William Ferguson Back on Job in Bedford Section.

ONE WORD AFTER ANOTHER By NUNNALLY JOHNSON A Fierce Old Man With Malignant Eyes Is Preparing for Next Constitutional Amendment Barring the Study of Science in Public Schools.

is not easy for a person moving in a fairly enlightened community to appreciate the genuine force behind the prosecution of the Tennessee school teacher Scopes. A circus this trial may have been to readers afar, but in Dayton and to William Jennings Bryan and the hill-billies of Tennessee it was a grim and desperate battle. They fought, and they plan still to fight, what they regard as an assault on their road to salvation. When they promise a Constitutional Amendment outlawing the study of- evolution, they promise something that is not only possible but actually probable. The Tennessee ruralites may each and every one of them, half literate, wholly uncultured and bigoted beyond belief, but each has, at the same time, a vote as valid and as powerful as any cast in New York or Boston.

Such an amendment to the Constitution of the United States is almost certain. The clarion call has been sounded. Dayton was the battle that stamped the issue as war. The leader is already girt for the fray, a fierce old man with malignant eyes and the frenzy of a member of the Inquisition. The Fundamentalists are now with the colors.

They have tasted blood. More, they have tasted victory. They are ready for greater grapples. Dayton and Tennessee are not the most feverish of Fundamental communities, nor even the second worst. The cult is not even confined to the South.

It exists in the West, according to newspaper men gathering at Dayton for the trial, and it exists in New York in no mean degree. Calculating on the basis of reports brought to Dayton by scouts. official and unofficial, from all parts of the country, it has a strength greater today than the Prohibition Amendment force had 40 years after it started. Without doubt the idea will be laughed at, possibility of a prohibition amendment was laughed at a few years ago. But, asked the to stop it? Is it unconstitutional? attorreys for the a defense, what is Less so than the 18th they say.

And this, furthermore, they point out: The Tennessee statute is, for all its naivete, an extremely shrewd and adroit law. If one challenges it with the cry of religious freedom, the answer is that religion is not taught in schools. Thus, there is no violation there. The temples, the churches and the cathedrals are still open. If an argument is that the study of evolution does not conflict with the Biblical account of the creation of the world, the rebuttal is that if a student is expected to infer from his textbook and, that at this bottom, is simply identical an alternate account, why then should he not the Bible and infer the evolustudy tionary account? The Fundamentalist strategists maintain that, as Mr.

Bryan maintains, a the people who foot the bills 'should direct the course. That, too, is a difficult nut to crack. It savors 50 thoroughly of logic. It is of no use whatever to point out that civilized people delegate specialized duties to men trained in them, such as physicians, architects, dentists, lawyers and so So much they concede, but there is 110 concession whatever when specialized duties approach their souls and their souls' salvation. That, in brief, is what the Fundamentalists think of their mobilization, as a defense of their souls.

I Armies may land in New York and airplanes swoop down on San Francisco, and the Tennessean will remain unmoved and unstirred within. but when the forces of hell begin to descend on the road to Paradise, or when he imagines that they are SO descending, then he rouses himself, takes down his double-barrelled shot gun and prepares to shed blood. They never thought of it five years ago. Their children went to school, studied evolution and grew up to NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.

was principally because their pastors knew as little science as they did of English language, grammar, or the spirit of the gentle Jesus. It was Mr. Bryan who pointed out to 'the ruling fathers that there was such a thing as evolution. Mr. Bryan read it in a book, a big book.

No more fit man could have been the agent to startle the farmers. His fashion of intelligence is theirs. His line of thought is theirs. When he says that any illiterate plow-boy, who believes in the Bible, is a better theologian than any scientist in the United States, he states a fact that seizes them in a death-grip. When he reiterates endlessly that science teaches that some not remote grandfather, possibly just back of Grampap Hawkins, was a monkey, that becomes their conception of evolution.

When he says that it takes neither the ability to write nor to read to comprehend the greatest book ever written, thus abolishing all theological seminaries and Bible study schools, the Fundamentalists cry, "Amen!" 'The Fundamentalist world is Mr. Bryan's oyster. Their pastors did them no good. They have, fact, done them harm. In a Fundamentalist pastor there is nothing resembling justice or fairness or decency.

Within a week in Dayton one had attempted by the most foul means to get on the Scopes jury, attempted so brazenly and SO eagerly that even the Fundamentalists had to laugh; one had prepared to place under arrest an innocent Methodist preacher, an enemy of the Baptist zealot, because he jumped to the conclusion that Watson Davis, writer of the Science Service articles on the Scopes trial in The Eagle, was an assumed name used by this peaceful Methodist brother to sink a harpoon into the Baptist church; one had come out in print in the Chattanooga papers with the direct statement that one of the lawyers for the Scopes' defense was fighting drunk on an evening when, as the minister could have learned himself by a single telephone call, the attorney was helping his wife hang pictures in a house taken for the duration of the trial. In each of these instances there was a venom that appeared nowhere else, neither in lay nor professional parties to the case. It was under such direction that the Fundamentalists Tennessee were goaded into believing that a group of high-brows, fresh from dabbling in theories, were there to send their souls to hell. It is under such direction that Fundamentalists the country over will hang on the Bryan banner, and think as he thinks and parrot what he says. Their one slogan, "Do you believe your grandfather was a monkey is worth 1,000,000 votes.

Mr. Bryan's epigram about the signer of the paycheck will attract another million. "These evolutionists are wrong by plain facts," a Tennessee ancient told me. "I'm 72, right smart age, and I can look back myself a long way and I can't see that people have changed any in appearance." It is possible that if these Fundamentalists of the lower order were left to themselves they would be content to miseducate only their own children. No idea of a' crusade would ever enter their heads.

Their energy would not permit it. And rightly so. They could teach their children that the earth was flat. as it says in the Bible, that the sun moves around the world, as it says there also, that witches should be burned, and in time they would exterminate themselves trying to force recalcitrant brothers to accept the I same creeds. But they won't be left to themselves.

There is an old man, savage and cruel of eye, grim of mouth. sober and fierce of anien, forever egging them on, spurring them to spill blood, goading them into compelling the whole country to be saved from itself, and as long as he is there and as long as he refuses to assimilate intelligence, there is the liability of a spreading of the taith, and the Constitutional Amendment. anese Government demands that America open her doors to Japanese immigrants, Japan will forfeit the sympathy of the whole world." Two Causes for Exclusion. Mr. Hanihara then goes on to say that there are two causes under.

If economic friction exists between the Japanese and the Americans in the United a racial struggle is sure to "The fellation of immigration is a very one, and the Japanese should be very careful not to excite anger and misunderstanding. Japan should present her views at the correct time, with public opinion as the background." That Japan really does not want to insist on her people being admitted unrestrictedly into America is the next point taken up by the former Ambassador.

Blames Propaganda for United States Attitude. "There are not a few persons in America who think that Japan really wants her immigrants admitted into the United States." he writes. "Japan has repeatedly presented her views on immigration, but somehow the American people have to appreciate the real circuntstances. The reason for this seems to be that the average American has little enthusiasm or time to study a problem with which he or she is little concerned. The average American fails to understand the problem properly, due to the propaganda of anti-Japanese groups." In concluding his article, Mr.

Hanthara says that the real need is for the Japanese people to appeal to the public opinion of America, "for it is essential that the insistence of the Japanese people on the immigration question be known clearly.
