R, Robertson, Prof History and Political Scioaeo Berea College A good deal of interest ia being shown in the prospective visit to tho U. S. of Emile Coue. This French man is noted for his skill in helping people to health by meana of sug gestion. He lives at Nancy, a place in the recent, war zona and with hia Wife he remained there during the whole war. He i a pharmacist and arcummulated a small competence in that occupation. In the practice ol his psychological healing ha charge no feea at all. Hia patienta are largely peasants, but he receives many of high social standing. It is' estimated that he receives forty thou sand seekers for health each year. It is interesting to note, on the ev cf the visit to Ame-ica, that he got his start here by taking a corres pondence course in hypnotism which he intended to use aa an aid to hia work aa a salesman. Hia manner of life is very simple and he seem to hi possessed of a real desire to help people. The Civic Federation of New York city haa just appointed a committee of one hundred, of which Elihu Root it the chairman, to consider the quea tion of America'a attitude toward in ternational affairs. Aa the object of thia investigation it ia stated that an effort will be made to see how far and in what manner the U. S. m'iouM participate in international affairs. This is one more evidence of a changing public opinion. It may have ita political features, also, as there ia an insurgent element in our Corgress now that ia gett'ng under way for something. However that may be, there ia aome hope of a cb.ange that will be more creditable to the U. S. and the part ahe ia cap able of playing in world affairs for U1S-ie?d..c.ruuiltind.-- . x- The political conditions in Poland have come to be aomewhat tubulent as a result of the change in the presi dency. The new head of Poland re cently elected, Narutowicx, waa as srtcinated soon aftes hia election. I waa claimed by the r.ative Poles that hia. cuccesa waa due to the sup port of Jews, Russians, Ulcranians ard Germans. The legislative body haa a majority of Poles, and they made conside-able of a demonatra ion of dirapproval. It ia not believed the assassination waa brought about bV this bodv. hilt' th0V O.iia.it n n opinion ao hostile to tha nrmident that it waa taken up by that element which alwaya ia ready to atrike at government in any form. The actu al assassin waa an ill-balanced and mentally deficient man of no stand it g whatever. In a recent letter, the traveler, Frank Carpen'er, givea a consider ably different view of the industrial and financial conditiona in parts of Europe from those mostly prevalent. Ic France the peasant claaa are add ii.f to their farms and are laying up money in the banks aa never before. The depositors have doubled in num bera aince the war, according to thia writer. Altho the debt of Franco ia large, about three-fourths of it ia held by the people of that eountrw and ia not an immediate burden tn the government. Of Germany, he saya, that her money ia of UttU value, but that aha haa the t.l wiakh in form of factories, rail- roada and other meana of produc tiens. He believes that there ia a gt od deal of camouflage. Thia da not fit in with the drift of opinion today, but Carpenter haa always been regarded a keen observer in hia travela. A conference haa been going on in Moacow recently on the question of disarmament. Tha neighboring s'ataa adjoining Russia were invited to bo prexent Tho Russian proposition was to cut down all armies eeventy five percent, and it waa accepted aa a principle by those nations present.
