believed the eruption was nearing its
end. The river of molten lava was
beginning to solidify and its advance
was much slower, but it still was
menacing several towns, Officials of
the Fascist government were most ef-
ficlent in evacuating and assisting the
refugees, all of whom were provided
with shelter and food. Ample funds
were voted by the council of minls-
ters. The work of reconstruction al-
ready is being planned, among the first
things being the building of new
transportation routes around the
fresh lava deposits, The total dam-
age is estimated at $9,000000. Three
towns were ruined, two railroads cut
and partly submerged and many hun-
dreds of acres of lemon groves and
vineyards destroyed. Very few lives
were lost for the inhabitants had am-

G°: AL SMITH went down to
Biloxi with a party of close
friends to rest and play golf, but be-
fore departing from New York he is-
sued a cheerful radio address to his
fellow Democrats. Admitting his dis-
appointment with the outcome of the
election, he yet refused to admit that
the defeat had crushed the Democratic
party and declared that it must carry
on its political fight along the lines
and upon the principles it always has
stood for and that it should be a con-
structive rather than a destructive
force. Those principles, he asserted,
are as great in defeat as they would
have been in victory. Citing the large
popular vote he received, he sald:
“We have the assurance from the
election returns that the Democratic
party is a live, a vigorous and a
forceful major minority party. The
existence of such a party Is necessary
under our system of government.”
The governor reminded his hearers
that Mr. Hoover would be the Presi
dent, not of the Republican party, but

World Understanding Forwarded by Foreign
Students in American Institutions
By DR. PAUL MONROE, Columbia University.
The democratic interchange of common cultures and intellectual de-
velopments is one of the most potent influences toward elimination of in-
ternational conflicts, and the last few years have seen a vast change in
terchange.
The culture of the generation gone was for the fow, and the influ.
ence of these students scarcely penetrated outside the limits of the in-
tellectual class. Today it is different. Foreign students are from al!
