The March
OF EUents
n ECRETARY HOOVER says that

many will collapse, and with Ger
many all Europe.
That is exactly what The Times
has been saying for months. And it
is absolutely true. Europe was
never in such a perilous position as
it is today.
The incredibly foolish peace
terms have left more than three
fourths of the people of Europe un-
able to- do business, unable to buy
raw materials or to sell finished
goods, and so face to face with idle
ness, hunger and despair, Germany
and Austria and Russia must be put
back on their feet industrially or the
Red Flag will yet wave ovorNbroken
and famine-stricken and desperate
Europe. =
The only wonder is that it has
taken craftsmanship so long to see
this self-evident truth. =
The decision of the Council of the
League of Nations in the matter
of Upper Silesia threatens the peace
Of Europe. 1t is a straddling de-
cision, which satisfies no one and
has neither the virtue of right nor
the brute courage of might. With
this final irritant added to all the
sore frontiers and other causes of
lasting dissension created by the
Versailles Treaty, future wars are
assured to Europe.
The only sensible course for us to
pursue is to abstain from any po-
litical connection whatever with any
foreign nation; to increase our
naval defense until it is impregnable
to any attack; to deal fairly with
other nations and refrain entirely
from any more sentimental gifts,
treaties or alliances or entangle-
ments of any sort.
The war and its results certainly
ought to have given us a lasting
lesson of the folly and the cost of
interfering in Europe's politics and
wars.
The new Federated Republic
formed by Guatemala, Salvador and
Honduras is hopeful beginning of
a better era in Central America.
That interesting and potentially rich
part of America would be populous
and prosperous had it not been for
the revolutions which occurred with
the frequency and virulence of pesti-
lences in the old times.
It is to be hoped that Nicaragua
and Costa Rica will eventually Join
the new Federated Republic, and
thus add not only to the strength
and dignity of Central America but
insure the peace and progress of its
peoples.
The United States might we'll Join
Mexico in mutual encouragement of
this excellent political experiment
among our Latin-American neigh
bors in the South.
There are so-called American men
and newspapers which insist that in
giving free passage through the
Panama Canal to American coast
trading ships we are breaking a
treaty with England. But that is
not true.
The language of the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty does not bear any such
Interpretation, fairly construed. Nor
did the negotiators put any such
Interpretation upon it. That was a
British afterthought. ...

An assembly was held Friday after
noon. Mr.. Heather. impersonating
uncle SAM delivered an inspiring
address on "Americanism" to the Stu
dent Body.
AT the conclusion of his speech he
paid very pleasing tribute to Nevada
and its people. saying that for state
of its population there were more col
lege bred men and women than in any
other state.
We are rather skeptical about this
part of it, however. Il have met only
two classes of people, people who live
in Nevada and those who are saving
up money to come here"
A regular Student Body meeting
was called after Uncle Sans
speech.
Old business was brought up. A
motion was made and carried that

the low ceiling was vine covered with
