A Druse Chief's Opinion. France will be made to account for her treatment of Syria to the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations, "and this will not be the, first time that a great power has been exposed to criticism and -examination by the commission," Dr. Alfred Zimmern, formerly professor of internattonal politics at the University of Wales, declared in an address yesterday before the monthly luncheon of the Foreign Policy Association at the Hotel Astor.

About 900 guests were present. "The Mandates Commission, which consists of 10 members chosen for their independence and expert knowledge of colonial said Dr. Zimmern, "has the duty of receiving an annual report from the government of each mandated territory and of advising the council cf the league on all matters relating to the observance of the mandates. "The commission has arranged to hold a special session next February to receive the report on the governments of Syria during the year 1925. This will not be the first occasion on which a great power has been exposed to criticism and cross-examination by the commission.

"It was the anticipation of having to face this ordeal and the eventual public report of the Mandates Commission to the League Council which no doubt Government helped take to such make drastic the French action after the bombardment of Damas- The most serious arraignment of the French mandate was delivered by W. L. Seabrook, recently 10- turned from Syria. Druses, he said, regarded the French mandate 08 worse than the rule of the Turks which had preceded it. He related a story told him of a Druse chief who was asked which of the two ruies, French or Turkish, his people preferred.

"In a Moslem village," the chief replied, "there was A man who robbed graves. He died hated, and nobody said 'God bless But after he was dead there came a 801 who not only robbed graves but defled and burned the corpses, and everybody said, 'God bless his "Must Probe the Mandate." Prof. Edward Mead Earle, of the Department of History at Columbia University, said that there had been six armed insurrections in Syria since the French took over the man. date. Until the last one, the world had no suspicion of what was going on because the French were able to suppress the news.

"Unless the system of mandates is to be admitted by the League to be merely a new name for an old imperialism," concluded Professor Earle, thorough investigation must be made of the French trusteeship in Syria."

Walker, speaking before the Publie Education Association yesterday, The story, told by Dr. Stephen P. Dugga, the toastmaster, follows: "Two English actors, Henry and Arthur, were making their debut. Henry went on first and, in Arthur's words, 'The audience and 'issed and 'Then I went Arthur continued, 'and all the way through my act they was still 'Issing Mayor -elect Walker complimented Dr. Duggan for having chosen a particularly apt story.

"During the next four years, when the knocks come," said Walker, "I will know they're still 'Issing 'enry." perfromance of my duties." "Will Not Bring Party Into Schools." san politics into the system A promise not to partiintroduce, was made yesterday by Mayor -elect James J. Walker, in a speech at a dinner of the Public Education Association at the Hotel Commodore. The -elect asserted that, "Although I do not know how to make the New York school system the best in the world, I know who to go to for advice and assistance to make it the best." A tilt between Frank P. Graves, State Commissioner of Education, and William O'Shea, Superintendent of Schools in New York City, took lie place over the question of the power of the Board of Superintendents. Commissioner Graves charged that most of the troubles of the school system arise out of the fact that the superintendent is hamstrung by the Board of Superintendents.

Dr. O'Shea defended his Board of Superintendents and said that, "In no instance have they frustrated me in am a partisan in politics, and will always be a partisan as long as I have faith in the principles of my party," said Senator Walker. "But I will not bring my party, as a party, into the Department of Education. On the other hand, I will not subscribe to any statement that because a man or woman is a member of to educate children or how to build for the good and welfare of every my party he or she is not fit for that every boy and girl has a common man, woman and child.

Public officials have no more important responsibility than seeing four years I want to hear you say that I have given the best administration that New York City has ever had, and this cannot be said unless New York City has the best public school system in the world. "Must Also Keep Out School Politics" "Partisan politics inust not, and will not, be injected into New York same time school politics must be City's educational system, but at the kept out of the schools. Let my a credit be that I have sense enough to take advice, and know where to get it.

"No examiner, no commissioner. no superintendent need do me any favor." said the Mayor-elect, reiterating his statement that partisan politics would not enter into his school administration. "And Not One Mayor-elect Walker indicated that the State Legislature might be asked to pass amendments to regulate local school matters. He urged the teachers and school officials to co-operato with him in educational matters. Ha mentioned the fact that he enjoyed the afternoon with the educators because had not been approached by one job-seeker during the eon.

He closed by stressing his connection with Governor Smith. "It is my intent to practice what I learned under Professor Smith on Capitol Hill at Albany," he concluded. Dr. Graves Raps Appointments. Dr.

in his speech hinted at poor appointments to district superintendencies and to high-salaried positions in the school architect's office. "There will be trouble in the educational system," he said, "as long as the superintendent of schools is not superintendent. If he has the title and responsibility he should have the full power and authority. It is inevitable that under the system of associate superintendents other things besides education will be emphasized." Dr. Graves added that he does not believe that "a seat for every child' will ever be possible in the strict' sense.

"Only through duplicate schools will this be. possible, and if this be Garyism make the most of it," he said. How to Use State's Money. "The problem of the relationship which the school system of the City of New York bears to the State as a whole is of great importance. We are coming to recognize now more than ever before that State as a whole is concerned in the education of its children without regard to locality," Dr.

Graves continued. "The State must prescribe standard educational requirements, to the end that all the children of the State shall receive and suitable educational opportunities. The money should be apportioned by the State authorities and should be used and expended by representatives of the State in the locality which is to be aided." Dr. O'Shea Speaks for More Schools. Dr.

O'Shea spoke of then huge problem of providing enough schools, and advocated a continuance of the building program. "So long New York people continue to turn out. 25,000 pupils per year more than the year before, we shall have a serious build-.
