It would be “penny wise and pound foolish to the ‘nth degree,” in the opinionated opinions of United States mayors to apply the national economy drive in the direction of the housing bill. The mayors are just like everybody else—they want their plunder. After that the ““economy’’ may begin somewhere else. After years of hiding their heads in the sand, the politica! managers of America’s democratic form of government are finding themselves slowly but surely befmg forced into a posi‘tion where they. must scon make plans to “provide the necessary revenues to meet the increasing costs’ of the government which they manage. Opposed to all measures for economy thee are countless claimants for special favors who would continue the “emergency” politics declared four years ago by the Federal government. It takes more than business prosperity to pry the parasites and grafters loose from the public plum tree. a rsa Son rans: I . Old Age Pensions .

Alberto Moura, committee, made the formal presentation to Dr. Monroe BE. Duetsch, vire president and provost of the University, at a luncheon held at the Women’s Faculty Club. In making the presentation, Moura: said, ‘‘The bust of our immortal poet placed in the y of this University will be the chairman of the librar symbol of genius of a people who in modern initiated the geographical curiosity which impelled them to conquer a world by land and by sea. The discovery of America was an their mariepisode resulting from time policy.” ; Seconding Moura, G. Armas do Amaral, acting Portuguese econsulgeneral in San Francisco, said, ‘‘The first cultivated language to be heard in California, used in its first civil and historical act when Juan Rodrigues Barbillo issued his proclamation upon his arrival on these shores, was the Portuguese language. This fact alone should bring to Californians the desire to know the treasures of this tongue, and also, the man who enriched: it, shaped it, and immortalized it—the epic poet, Luis de Camoens.” Also present were Dr. Fidelino de Figueredo visiting lecturer in Portugese, who gave the first Portnueuese course on the University campus in 1931, and other members of the University faculty and administra-_ tion, : Camoens is best remembered for his great epic poems, the Lusiads -dealing with the exploits of the Portuguese heroes in carving out the Portuguese empire. tion, who went to South Africa in search for a beneficial parasite to use against the red scale.
