THE WAR UPON WAR.
An international commission ef
teachers to revise history books and
"take the glamor" out of war is pro
posed by Professor Amada L. de
Becerra, of Mexico.
The idea is not bad. Along with
the effort to take the profit out of
war, there might be something ac
complished in the establishment of a
"peace consciousness."
The war spirit spreads not only|
through the histories of the world
but also through the cultivation and
development of the glory of warfare
by many veterans who participate in
the fighting. It helps establish them
as heroes and, very often, exerta
an influence upon the amount of pen
sion money being paid.
HIGH PAY BUT LITTLE
SAVED.
?
Some weeks ago we read an ar
ticle by an actor in Hollywood who
explained that his $2,000 a week sal
ary went largely to the peculiar ex
penses connected with keeping up
a front at the movie capital and that
therefore he had decided that the
stress and strain was too much for
the left in his bank account.
This comes to mind when we read
a dispatch from Los Angeles, saying
that Jean Harlow, whose earnings
were $4,000 a week when she died,
left an estate valued at only $41,000
with some claims outstanding against
this total.
Apparently, as many a man in
minor place has discovered, there is
a wide difference between the gross
and the net income, even in the won
derland of the moving pictures.
SUCKER LIST.
Every year American citizens lose
, millions of dollars by purchasing
fraudulent and worthless stock.
Schemers make a business of fleecing
those who are always trying to get
rich quick and believeing the optimis
tic prospectus written about any fake
enterprise.
The best way to eliminate the
fraudulent promoter is by educating
the public so that he will be unable
to find dunces foolish enough to send
him their hard-earned savings in re
turn for a promise of excessive pro
fits.
Sad experience does not keep a lot
of these suckers from biting the
second time. This is shown by the
fact that there are people who sell
what they call "sucker lists", in which
the name of good prospects are made
available for any crook wanting to
dispose of some worthless securities.
Sometimes the deception is cruel, as
where an effort is made to attract
those suffering from disease to pur
chase some worthless remedy.
A very safe rule for the average
citizen to follow is not to purchase
except through reputable brokers or
firms. If an unknown character of
fers you some scheme for getting rich
by a comparatively small outlay of
cash, you have only to thiwir for a
minute to realize that if his proposi
tion was honest he could secure all
the cash needed very readily. Don't
be a sucker and throw good money
away.
MELLON GIVES AWAY
FORTUNE.
The death of Andrew W. Mellon
removes one of the great industrial
ists of the nation, one of the "rugg
ed , individualists" of an earlier era
who played the game according to
the prevailing code with great profit
tO Mm?H
The great fortune that he left will
go largely to charity, according to
his family, which has beat provided
for through earlier gifts. Estimated
to be more thea $200,000,000 come
yean ago, the horde has been reduced
by extensive gifts to charity as weO
as by distribution to his two children.
Hie attorney says that in the last
few yean of hie life the PeBneyiean
urn gave away more than $70,000,
000, which Includes the valuable art
collection pee?ted to the nation, to
gether with a $15,000j)00 building and
a $5,000,000 endowment Significant
ly, be it noted, the beaker stipulated
that the great gallery should not bear
threb Republican Presidents. During
hie tsn* of office the netlnusl debt
'
ever, is not public service but genrou*
giving. The national art gallery trill
cause him to be remembered long
after the public debt and political de
velopment of this era are forgotten.
Looking at Washington
(Continued from Page One)
gada through the diplomatic functions
in behalf of world peace.
Recently, in the face of various
threatening situations, be addressed
an inquiry to the nations of the world,
?Afag each to give its views in re
gards to a 383-word statement em
bodying a code of international con
duct. Foreign officials literally fell
over themselves to express agreement
"in principal" with the Hull formula,
which he terms the "alternative, ade
quate and complete" to war. Such
widespread concert of declarations en
courages some diplomats in the belief
that the basis has been laid for a
foundation upon which the world will
be able to build a structure of peace.
The Hull statement of principles in
cluded: maintenance of peace; na
tional and international self-restraint;
absinence from the use of force in
pursuit of policy; abstinence of inter
ference in the internal affairs of other
nations; adjustment of international
problems by peaceful negotiation; the
faitheful observanse of international
agreementsj modification of treaty
provisions, when need arises, by or
derly process; respect by all nations
for the rights of others; strengthen
ing international law; promotion of
economic security and stability
throughout the world; lowing and re
moving excessive barriers to inter
national trade; equality of commer
cial apportunity and equality of treat
ment; limitation and reduction of
armaments and co-operative effort
through peaceful means in supporting
these principles.
The statement recognized the tra
ditional American policy of avoiding
awtnngling' alliances but recognized
that armed hostilities anywhere ser
iously affect the rights and interests
of all nations. Avowing relief in the
reduction of armaments, Mr. I^ull
emphasized the intention of this coun
u*y to increase as well as reduce its
armed forces "in proportion" to oth
er countries.
I _
Applying this policy to the Far
East, the United States recently ap
pealed to nhinft and Japan by abide
by treaty pledges and to refrain from
a general war. He reminded them
that fifty nations had formally ap
proved his statement of principles,
outlined above, including China and
Japan. The latter attempted to make
a reservation in regards to the Far
East but the Secretary of State
countered with the observation that
thin country considered them "appli
cable throughout the world, in the
Pacific area as elsewhere."
In other words, the Secretary of
State is trying to steer a course mid
way between extreme isolation and
entangling alliances while being as
cooperative as possible in the peace
ful adjustment of the Sino-Japanese
dispute. Without any present idea of
the use of force the Government is
keeping in consultation with other na
tions to discover, if possible, means to
bring about a pacific settlement in
the Far East. The statement is also
taken to give notice that the United
States has not altered its position
in regards to the independence and in
tegrity of China which Japan is also
under obligation to respect.
In thus leaving to a future date
the final determination of the is
sues made by the Japanese action
in China the Government is prob
ably wise. To do otherwise would
almost certainly involve us in war
with Japan. The European situa
tion is so complicated that Great Brit
tain feels unable to press Far Eastern
rights although the recent shooting
of her ambassador to China by Jap
anese airmen caused strong anti-Jap
anese sentiment in London. However,
neither the United States nor Great
Britain feels inclined to challenge
Japan now and only the future will
disclose whether either of them will
call for Japane* observance of treat
ies in regards to China.
News that China and Russia have
signed a non-aggression treaty was
taken in Tokyo to mean that the So
viet Government will take a hand in
the Far Eastern situation..If this de
velops Japan and some European ob
servers expect Germany * to move
against Russia, with the danger that
France will become involved through
her treaty with the Russians. If this
comes about the world frar that
everybody has been predicting for
Lome years will be at hand. Just as
Great Britain has been using every
influence to localize the fighting in
Spain the leading nations of the
world will undoubtedly try Xo prevent
the battles in the Far ESaht from
spreading.
Meanwhile, the democratic nations
of the earth recognise the peril that
dictators present and unlets some
thing favorable develops therd is the
thai public opinion in ail
peeee4oving countries win demand
some action to make treaty-breaking
and warfare unprofitable even if ft
takes a war to do it
