which has stretched for more than 5000 miles with
out military forti6cation There have been prov
ocations. but these never have amounted to more
than the same sort OF disputes amount to between
States of the Union Relations between these two
countries have been very nearly ideal. They
mentioned frequently at the limitation of ornaments
conference last year as models which should be
adopted by the entire world.
1t is difficult to understand why the same sort
of relations exist between any Euro
pean states. II fs difficult to understand, for
ample, why France and Germany cannot live in
the sano sort OF harmony. Nothing prevents them
but the heStradition Of arms which it has been i'm
possible to eradicate from the minds of their people.
We cannot imagine any subject of dispute be-
tween Canada and the United States which cannot
be settled by arbitration. The boundary fine, we
might say exists only on the map. The tradition
of peace has been impressed on the minds OF the
American and Canadian people and 1t would be as
hard to eradicate the other sort OF tradition IN
Europe. Passengers hardly aware when trains
pass over the border. People move from one
country another without recognizing the change
in government.
When the rest of the world lives in such har-
mony the millennium will be at hand But only
mental habits prevent such situation. The
Frenchman is born with the conviction that the
German is his enemy and vice versa. The American
is born with the conviction that the Canadian is MS
friend and vice versa Once alter this condition
and the two countries could find excuse tomor-
row to be at each others throats, troops would be
marching back and forth over the border, the
Great Lakes would be black with gunboats, and
airplanes would be dropping bombs on factories
which now exchange workmen without formality.
The treaty is again brought before the world
by the proposal bring it up to date Civilization
has progressed greatly in the last century. The
treaty has nothing to say about telephones, tele-
graphs etc. The relations of the two countries
have progressed peacefully without need OF any
specific agreements such things.
But it will do hurt to have some under
standing set down on paper, decorated with State
DEPARTMENT seals, ETC. Then it can be filed away
in the archives and forgotten most Of the time.
Canada and the United States have shown that
they can agree without treaties.

WAR INEVITABLE IF
BIRTH RATE UNCONTROLLED.

"As long as births exceed deaths.
just so long will war be inevitable
in the long run: for grim necessity
will compel men to fight for food
or die of starvation" declared Her
bert NJ, Mogoun, of Cambridge.
Mass. in an address to the Interna-
tional Birth Control Congress in
session in London.
Calculating that the population
doubles every fifty years, he showed
that starting with a single human
pair today in two thousand years
there would be at least 2.04S,009,-
OCO. 900 people on earth. The only
reasons that there has not been
such an increase in the past, he
claimed, were war, pestilence,
famine and earthquake.
And you would blithely abolish
war and pestilence, leaving to
earthquakes and famine the task OF
keeping the population within
bounds that the earth can feed" he
said. That means famine for all
mankind, unless births are kept on
a par with deaths. by means Of
birth control. Without it you can
not abolish war or Danish disease
without producing something far
worse"

Secret Societies Abroad.

THE UNITED STATES is not alone IN its
l. affliction OF secret societies with political
and religious objectives which attain their ends
through assassination.
Europe is honeycombed with such organiza-
tions according to a correspondent Of the Manches
ter Guardian who has devoted considerable study
to postwar conditions Organizations similar to
the Ku Klux Klan as it after the Civil War
have sprung up in most OF the continental states.
The murder OF Dr. Rathenau in Germany is
attributed to a society of this nature. In every
German province there is Teutonic Ku klux klan
orranzed for the presel vation OF nationalism, the
curbing of radicalism etc The Balkans are full Of
similar lodges They springing up in France
and Italy In Russia, of course, they thrive The
steppes were their original home
Associations of this kind the favorite mate
rial for novelists. Outside of the pages OF fiction,
however, it is difficult to appreciate how .hey can
attain anv real power in these days of easy public
tv. There is nothing curious in the fact that
brotherhoods of this sort should spring from dis
turbed conditions. Mystery always appeals to
mankind There are examples of real good accom-
plished BY such societies in the past They had
much to do with the restoration of Germany alter
Napoleon. Sicily and South Italy evolved them as
a result OF long periods of misgovernment and dis
order. Tyrannous government and the negation OF
government although they stand at opposite poles'
are alike prolific OF secret societies
But secrecy is quality which rapidly is gong
ont OF fashion Calculated indiscretion is the rule
of the moment. Nobody would be surprised II
the organizers OF these so-called secret societies
wrote articles on their activities for the Sun
dav papers of the day. 1t is difficult to believe
that the majority OF the members take their own
activities seriously, that the hgh-sounding oaths
OF brotherhood and revenge really amount to any
thing except to the crack-brained
If they do amount to anything the European
governments will be obliged to stamp them out
bv rigorous methods They constitute danger
because there arc so many sentimental fools to
whom they are able to appeal. Ninety-nine of their
members treat the lodge joke. The hundredth
member throws bomb at somebody in the street

Time to Get Faith.

THE Hague conference seems to have fulfilled

While officially finished, its lack of

nothing The meeting gave opportunity to
make for the fasco at Genoa. 1t had no
other real purpose. We doubt whether it was taken
very seriously in the capitals OF Europe at any
time.
What useful purpose could be served by talk
ing any longer 1t is obvious that the Russian
delegates desire only to talk They know that the
fantastic proposals they make cannot be considered
They know that they cannot demand anything of
the OF Europe with any expectation that their
demands will be met They talk for the benefit
OF the folks in Moscow who, that most
proctariats. including the American, swayed by
empty words.
None OF the nations willing to sacrifice
anything in compromises. Each insists taking
away the lions share from any conference. The
Russians not alone guilty OF oratory for effect
The Hague, charming old world town that it is, has
been an excellent place to spend the early summer
But its monotony is growing upon the delegates
Now they are anxious to get away and we hear
outbursts every hand concerning the lack of

Eventually ERopc's troubles, both financial and

Standard OIL Company to the Ford Motor

Henry Morgenthau former United States Am

such a basis would pay we'll on the investment
Such Is his remedy for the present ills that have
driven the glorious empire to the brink of
the grave Mr.. Morgcnthau wants to form
international corporation to reOrganize Austria's
industry and show the world that it is possible to
save like states from complete bankruptcy. He is
willing to invest some OF his capital in the
proposition
OF course. folks with red inclinatons will scout
idea like this 1t is easy to talk about making
the Austrian people industrial slaves But do
not think the plan would work that way. 1t
would be interesting to a trial.
Austria represents great deal Of physical
property great deal of fertile land some minerals
and few million people.
y few American billionaires could take over
the entire country and manage it as the United
States Steel Company is managed
What would be the result? 1t would be neces-
sary to get a ull DAYS work from Austrian labor.
At present the Austrian people are lazy and dis
couTagcd. To speed up their efforts they would be
given something work for. They would get
iatter pay envelopes. This would raise their stand
ard OF living On a higher standard OF living they
would do better work.
The average nation, after ALL is a poorly man
aged business concern. That is what Austria
amounts to at present. Why not have well
managed business for change? 1t is
useless to speak of the blow that would be struck
at the liberty OF the natives. They are chiefly
concerned with getting enough to eat. The liberty
they seek is the liberty to sit down at loaded
dinner table
OF course, this proposal will not be tried. 1t
would be impossible to raise enough capital to
carry it out But it is interesting to make con-
lectures what grand success it might be.

,x-RAYs RETARD
RAT REPRODUCTION.
Predicting that methods appllca-
BILE to the broad control of procrea-
tion in both men and women will
some day be available, DR.. Donald
r. Hooker, of Baltimore, Mr., made
what he termed preliminary
statement to the International Birth
Control Congress in London in re-
gard to his experiments in checking
rat reproduction by means of
X-rays
By subjecting male rats to X-rays
sufficient to cause a slight redden-
ing of the skin twice within three
or four days. he said he had been
able to temporarily stop their pro-
creation without interfering with
their normal sexual activity or
without injury to their subsequent
offspring.
Sex desire, he explained. is con-
trolled by the interstitial cells in
the reproductive gland. Steriliza.
tion by X-rays does not affect these
cells, neither is it accompanied by
the enlarged bodily growth which
follows removal of the glands.
The treatment, he claimed, was
well within the margin of safety
from X-ray burns. Just how long
the sterility lasts he has not yet
determined. but it is a matter OF
some weeks in rat and twelve
days of the rats life corresponds
to about one year in the life of a
man.
Both clinical observation and
laboratory experiment" he said,
prove that this sterility is not per-
manent and my experiments indi-
cate that the offspring are normal.
but our data on this required ques-
tion. as well as to the exact dosage,
must be extended before unqualified
conviction is attained, or the pro-
cess applied to human beings"
AS the X-rays must penetrate
deeper in the case of the female.
sterility is harder to produce. DR..
Hooker also expressed a belief that
similar measures may possibly be
worked out for increasing the ef-
ficiency OF women aside from the
question OF childbirth.

HNOSCODe.
SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1922.

This is very doubtful day sc-
cordinE to astroloEy. Jupiter rules
in malefic aspect and Venus is ad-
verse. but Neptune is friendly.
The signs are menscing for all
who exercise authority and seem to
bode i'll for all who represent old
traditions.
Ministers may find conditions
most unsatisfactory owing to the
growth of a critical attitude on the
part of the people.
The President of the United
States may lose friends at this
time. for there is an aspect in his
horoscope which seems TO indicate
that he will develop q positive atti-
tude that will cause him trouble.
The President is a Jupiter person
and nve planets are in fixed signs
in his horoscope, a fact that is be-
lieved to augur continued success
for him.
This is an Exceedingly unfavor-
able rule for love affairs and IL is
well to beware of romance while
this confguration prevails.
Sensational disclosures affecting
women and their point OF view con-
cernins questions of fundamental
interest to the nation are prognosti-
Gated.
Moral questions again will be
much discussed and pessimlsts will
find a great deal to condemn, but
the world is making tremendous
progress, the seers declare.
This rule should be beneficial to
intellectual persons and should aid
all who earn their livings in the
professions.
Again the prophecy is made that
the United States will make Sig
nifcant naval demonstration.
Persons whose birthdate II ts
should not speculate or risk money.
They will have busy year In
which they may be disappointed In
the amount of financial success
they attain. but they will lay the
foundations of profit.
Children born on this day may be
rash and impetuous. The tendency
to spend money too generously may
require curbing.

SOCIALISTS VICTORY SURPRISE
OF HUNGARIAN ELECTIONS

That the most striking feature
of the elections for the Hungarian
National Assembly held on May 2s
and June l was the victory won
by twenty-five Socialist candidates,
making their party the strongest of
the opposite groups, is confirmed by
articles found in recent issues of
Budapest and Vienna papers. De-
spite the facts that in the country
districts the voting was public and
the Horthy authorities put all sorts
of pressure upon the voters to de-
feat the opposition candidates. the
Socialists succeeded in winning
dozen seats outside of Budapest
while in the capital itself, where
voting was secret, they pollcd 80
per cent of all the ballots cast and
elected thirteen deputies. In Bud
apest the government party wo.
only one seat, but the anti Semitic
group, which sympathizes with the
government, elected six deputies.
The geois-democratic opposi-
tion group in Budapest won seven
seats.
As illustrating the terroristic
tactics used by the government in
the secondary elections. Stefan Far
kas. national secretary of the social
democratic party, as quoted in the
Poster Lloyd of June Is, reported
that his party had succeeded in
electing its candidates in two of the
twelve districts where second
ballot had been necessary merely
because there had been a secret
vote in those districts. The social
lists were not the only objects of
government pressure. as the oppo-
sition bourgeois press complains
bitterly of high-handed acts on the
part of election officials and mem
bers of the Awakening Magyars.
the group of anti-Semites and anti
socialists that has carried on the
campaign OF terrorism with the
about two years.
The definite makeup Of the new
assembly, asreported in a Budapest
semi official dispatch of June IA.
gives 166 seats, against an opposi-
ton Of seventy-six, with two neu-
trail independents and one wild"
deputy. The government bloc con-
sists of 140 regular government
party men, fifteen members of the
Erneszt group, two followers of
Heinrich and nine independents,
while the opposition embraces twen-
ty-five socialists, twelve Friedrich
Andrassy men. eight followers of
Haller. eight supporters of Karl
Rassay, two Batthsny deputies, four
Vassonyi men and seventeen inde-
pendents. The Alexander Erneszt
group takes IN the outspoken anti
Semites. and calls itself the Party
of Christian National Unity. Two
of its leaders are Karl Wolff and
Karl Huszar.
