IN SIMPLE WORDS

Italy, member of the League OF
| Nations, says 1t cannot settle her dis
pute with Greece, another member ma
ton. Italy says that no agreements
| by members of the League take away
nations right to defend herself or
compel the righting of a wrong to her
honor. Italy says she occupied the
island of Corfu. to compel such action
by Greece, just as France occupies the
Ruhr to compel Germany to do right
| by her.
There are two points here. Germany
| is not a member of the League.
Greece is member. Also, although
agreements between members of the
League do not take away from a
country the right to defend herself or
to compel apology for an insult, those
agreements do tell how a country shall
not defend her honor. Those agree
ments explicitly state that country
shall not make war upon another ex-
cept under certain conditions and af-
ter certain lapse of time. Italy says
she has not committed an act of war.
And Italy insists that she is the Judge.
Italy stands practically alone, I'M
less France may be considered doubt
full. Belgium, the friend Of France un-
der all former circumstances. was glad
to be in the League because the
League guarantees to protect her
against invasion. If she agrees with
Italy that occupation of Corfu is not
an act of war, then how small would
be the force of that League guaran-
tee!
Lord Cecil ardent League pro-
ponent who came to this country re-
Gently to plead for the League, de-
clares Il would point out that" certain
articles of the covenant which show
the Leagues jurisdiction of this mat
ter, ARE to be found not only in the
Treaty of Versailles but also in the
treaties of st. German, Neuilly and
the Trianon, and If these treaties are
to be disregarded the whole settlement
of the new Europe will be shaken"
The League, in other words, tells
how a country may act in case dis
pute arises. The League takes no right |
away from a country except the right |
to act without due consideration by |
of other countries |
which will have to stand back OF the |
country which the League decides is |
right. The League had arranged !

MARRIAGE $3.50

Los Angeles, where they know all
about marriages and other things, be-

propriety by either husband or wife.

ITALY AND GREECE

Among the boundaries the World
War left unsettled was the Greek-Al-
banlan.
An international board was chosen
to fix It, Italy had five members
Autoing through the disputed district,
they were killed from ambush. It's
one of the most lawless. bandit-infest-
ed regions on earth. The murderers
may have been common brigands--
not Greek brigands, either.
But Premier Mussolini of Italy de-
cided to blame Greece. He said the
Italians opposed the boundary Greece
wanted, SO he argued that Greeks
must have killed them.
He made demands on Greece that
all diplomats agree she couldn't have
granted without losing every atom Of
self-respect. Greece demurred. Italy
almost instantly seized several Greek
islands, bombarding one of them,
thus getting control of the Adriatic
Sea, which she's long wanted to
make an Italian lake of.

tiers pertaining to the welfare of the
city and especially Its children. felt
the atmosphere OF honest purpose
which dominated him. For years a
member q board which was often
criticized Mr.. Goodwin's good faith
and conscientious work on that board
brought praise from the most bitter
critics OF its decisions.
He was quiet, almost retiring man
who sought always to convince those
whose, opinion differed from his by
a simple marshalling of the facts as
they had developed under his close
scrutiny. And, at the end of his
presentation of his case those who
still held contrary opinions held, too.
a greater respect for the man who had
unselfishly devoted his time and
thought to matters which would have
been no official concern of his had
not the people repeatedly called upon
him to take care of them for them.
The tale Of Mr.. Goodwins public
life and private constructive activities
is the sort Of tale that discloses a
firm, lovable character, not lacking
in strength because Of his gentleness;
not wanting in force despite the I'M
obtrusiveness of his actions. He was
the sort of man of the friendship of
whom one is proud; the sort of man
who, when his activities cease, leaves
standard for others to follow If they
would help to strength, courage and
happiness their own, the people of
their communicative people of the
world.
New Britain was proud of E. Clay
ton Goodwin. Those who knew him
will hold his memory dear.

WAR IN THE AIR.

Recently people of this city have
had forcibly recalled to them the
predictions made as far back as two
years ago that the next war would be
fought in the air. One United States
Senator went SO far as to predict the
exact location of the first battle,
namely over New York harbor.
We saw, just the other day, seven
army bombing planes flying over this
city. Just now some have seen NOV
ing pictures of army planes in their
maneuvers and have read the state
ment that our coast could be pro-
tected, covered by our planes, in a
single day.
From California comes the news
Of the achievements of army aviators
in breaking several world records for
endurance, distance and speed when
they cruised in the air for over Al
hours. The fact worth emphasizing
is that they took on in mid-air fuel
for their plane no less than Is times.
These aviators flew over 5000 miles
and made duration record of 81 hours
and Is minutes. Their speed records
were as remarkable and by no means
set limit for such marks. The facts
are emphasized, not for the purpose
of mplimenting ourselves on the
American skill in the air, but rather
for the purpose of indicating the pos
sibilities OF air work and the proba-
bility that the prediction "the next
war will be fought in the air" is
literally true.
With the memory of the impressive
sight of those bombing planes which
flew over this city in perfect align
ment. and the sight Of those pictured
planes together with the latest news
of the air. we may well consider
that 1t is in this line that develop
ments will come and that the
scrapping of capital ships. now going
on. will not bring as much weakness
to a country as was at first supposed.
While this country should keep pace
or even exceed the rate set by other
nations and should become supreme
in the air as long as other nations are
so engaged, it would seem that re-
ducing sea and land armament would
sink in importance If there Is to be
c.iother war.

Under League rules, a member
committing an act of war against an
other member, in defiance of the rest
of the membership thereby commits
an act of war against all of them.
Italy denies she's committed an act
of war, but everybody knows better.
But the Leagues two big members
are England and France. They dis
agree over Frances Ruhr policy.
Each wants Italy to side with her on
this question. Query. Will either
dare to risk angering Italy by de-
tending Greece?
True, the League has other men,
bers, but it's unlikely the smaller
ones can do much if England and
France fear to act.

she went into the World War for.
The peace treaty euchred her out of

easy for her if others don't interfere)
she may get it yet.
