JOYOUS LIFE FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN Few appeals for the public at tention and support come with more reason and urgency than the one made annually in behalf of crippled children. In a modern world which moves swiftly and sometimes ruthlessly, it is warming and satisfying to know there are agencies devoted exclusively to the welfare of these deserving youngsters. Starting in life, many of them, with less than a full chance, most of the boys and "iris crip pled by di?' ;!se nr fircidorit have acnuirwl ihvuugh modern scioncc* an opportunity to live a complete and happy life. Problems arise in finding the children early enough in life for (Satisfactory treatment and edu cation. To these tasks the Inter national Society for Crippled Children and its local affiliated groups, have dedicated themsel ves. In furtherance of their du ties in this field they annually place on Sale Easter Seals to raise the necessary funds. The Easter Seal campaign, op ening here March 2nd, is one which pays happy dividends and is deserving of wholehearted public support. It is a worthy pursuit in which these societies are engag ed and it singularly appro priate that their seal campaign comes at the joyous Easter sea son. The campaign slogan—“Joy ous Life for Chippled Children” —is, indeed, a happy phrase. Much can be done, much is be ing done for youngsters brought up short early in life by crip pling accident or disease. There is a fertile field for hig'h en deavor in this direction. For bringing the problem out in the optin and for working so unceasingly fowarrj its =o]ution, the society Reserves publip c(>m- 'menciation and support. There should be no doubt concerning the success of the seal sale cam paign which opens here March 22nd. SALVATION BY ECONOMY On his way home from his vis it to America last month Mr. Runciman permitted himself to remark that England had no in tention of trying to buy off Germany, yet in a British paper today we find the headline: “British Loan to Germany Rum ored.” Ml". Runciman, whatever his remarks, is known to hold the same theory toward economy in international affairs as that held by Secretary Hull in our State Department. This is a program of salvation for the world through economic means. These trade treaties which we are gradually bnilding up symbolize to him the good Neighborliness expressed by the President. F" feels that if economic well-be ing can be spread over the world peace will follow in due course. There is a lot to be said for this idea. Poverty, hunger, dirt, and disease are powerful breeders of hate, of jealousy and eventually of war or revolution. If one could be sure that the effect of trade treaties would always mean more trade and through trade in crease in the well-being of all then I thinii the case for salvaticn, or peace, by economic means would be proved. Indeed, a strong argument for it is the fact that the countries most clearly headed towards war. Where efforts fcr peace are most needed, are the very countries where trade is at its lowest ebb. The eco nomic structure of both Germany and Italy is built on the shaky founda tions of national self-sufficiency. It is a self-sufficiency which attempts to solve the problem of unemploy ment by vast rearmaments by enroll ing the entire nation in one corps or another; the problem of food by ra tioning and eliminating all but essen tials, the problem of raw materials by the use cf expensive and inadequate substitutes; the problem of the future by the hope of territorial gains. Un less such a set-up collapses it can lead only in one direction: war. With this ever in view, it is not to be w ndered at that, Mr. Runciman to the contrary, England is consider ing seriously a loan to Germany as the only way of averting war. Here in Ameiica the Chase National Bank has already slipped aroimd the pro- visi ns of the Johnson Act to grant a loan to Italy. The Chase National Bank is not the United States Gov ernment, luckily, and we are not com mitted by this act to any policy of giving aid and succor t the dictators, but nevertheless Mr. Hull is in sym pathy with this sort of thing. Though it is doubtful if the American people would stand for a direct loan to any of the thj-ee dictat.rships, very much the same results would occur if we cooperate with England in a recipro cal trade treaty while she finances a Goveinment loan. In studying English policy willi re- gaid to Germany, Americans should never forget that back of everything that is said and done by the English is the fact of their tremendous rear mament, and that this is a reason for many of the things being said and (lone. England is playing for time. Those of us who have groaned at the picture of the old British lion sub mitting to his recent almost daily tail-twisting at the hands of the dic tators must take this into account. England is not yet ready for war and if she lends Germany money it will be because of that. Is it the right move ? We, who have | more than the Channel between us and Eur. pe, have perhaps no right to say. But as participants in any treaty assisting England to make such a loan we have a duty at least to study carefully the present situa tion. If a loan to Germany will helpi to prevent war, well and good; but if it only serves tO' make Germany stronger for the war she is seeking, what then? Hitler has said that he prefers guns to butter. In view of this definite statement, what grounds have w'e for thinking that a loan would be devoted to the needs cf the German people? Have we not indeed every reason to think that it will go right into munitions, into tanks and planes and gasmasks, into digging the graves of the next twelve million million men. The alternative is for the demo cratic countries, who hold the purse- strings of the world, to deny credit to Germany. War might easily result from this move but there is also a fair chance that the Nazi regime jjiight r llapse before Hitler could get started. There are people who would prefer a war to this or even to allow Hitler to make his Eastern march unempeded and build up the super- Germany he talks about. For they be lieve that collapse of the Nazis will open the way to C mmunism in Ger many and they fear Communism more than war or anything else. This is, of course, the attitude of the pro- German Fascists in England and in this country. By the American, as opposed to the Fascist or Communist, this point of view should be carefully examined. Personally it seems to me that the Communists, who are still fighting among themselves as to what Com- munism is, are too busy with their own problems and Russia’s dictator t o uncertain of his own party’s sol idarity to present at this time the menace to world peace seen in the acts and words of Hitler and Mus solini. The situation is infinitely complex, the outcome anyone’s guess. But I believe it is desperately important for the people of this country to be alert to question any move towards rein forcing the dictatorship at this time. For it is the preservaticn of peace in which America is interested, to wards which she must bend every effort, if she would see the survival of those principles for which she stands. —K. L. B.

She was going to write the president a personal ^tter. Last year she threatened to do it after her initial trip ever the line. Now there was no doubt as to her deci sion. Never in all her traveling exper ience had she been shown more cour tesy, nor such consideration for her welfare. Kindliness was exercised at every turn.
