Peace Agreements Wicked to

AND SHAMEFUL TO BREAK
Peace Advocates Blind To Recent
History Turkey and China Show
Need OF International Big
Stick.

New York. Arbitration of every
disputed question, even including
questions involving the national
honor, as advocated by President
Taft, is disapproved by former Presi-
dent Roosevelt in signed editorial
lin the last issue of the Outlook.
1t would be not merely foolish but
wicked for us as nation to agree to
|arbitrate any disputes that affect our
vital interest or our independence or
our honor emphatically declares the
former President
The complete absence of militar-
ism in China, and China's effort to
rely purely on pacific measures in
dealing with all foreign powers, have
not only caused 1t to lose various
provinces to various foreign powers
within the last few decades, but have
not had the smallest effect in saving
lit from tyranny. misgovernment and
the most far-reaching economic mis-.
cry at home, and, moreover, have had
the effect of depriving it of means
even Of keeping order within its own
boundaries.
Turkeys treaties with various Eu-
|ropean powers explicitly guarantee
her integrity. and yet all the treaties
thus guaranteeing against dismember-
ment are not worth as much as a
single gunboat Of the smallest size
the minute that it becomes worth
while for any serious opponent to at
tack her.
''It would be not merely foolish but
wicked for US as a nation to agree to
arbitrate any dispute that affects our
vital interest or our independence or
our honor: because such an agree
ment would amount on our part to a
covenant to abandon our duty. to an
agreement to surrender the rights of
the American people about unknown
matters at unknown times in the fu-
ture. Such an agreement would be
wicked if kept, and yet to break it
as it undoubtedly would be broken if
the occasion arose-would be only
less shameful than keeping it,

20 years or more the star has been
the Idol OF the public and the god OF
managers Mighty was the wage OF
this divinity The star system seemed
permanent But last season was one OF
the most trying that theater managers
have ever weathered. Scarcely one
has not curtailed his enterprises. says
the New York Sun Theatrical invest
ment is on much less extensive
scale than 1t was IL months ago. Ex-
treme conservatism marks the busi-
ness this fall Managers are search
ing for suggestions as to the best
means Of putting theff affairs on q
solid basis. One result OF this inves-
tigation is the assertion that 1t would
probably be much better for the the
aters II there were fewer stars or
none at all. The reasons for this de-
cision seem sound. at all events sound
er to reasonable laymen than the
causes Of the sudden promotion OF
every blue-eyed ingenue to the rank
of a star. Managers have decided
that the theatrical celebrity they
make holds them afterward in tyran-
nicai grasp. They must eventually
accede to all the conditions these play
ers may impose. Thus by deliberately
creating star they are raising up
force that win eventually be inimical

there must have been three or four
hundred.
Even now we are getting news of
further massacres of women and
children who were discovered on diff

they slaughtered the innocents obyi-
ously was one OF revenge for their
heavy losses in battle.
