Question of World Peace Now
Up to This Country
More Than Ever
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Times Stor Cor-aspondent


XVI ASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The
IWI question of world peace or
Ill world war now, more than
ever, is up to the United States.
The League of Nations, weakened
by the absence from its councils of
any powerful. disinterested nation. is
unable to cope with the fast recur-
ring crisis.
THE sands are running out" says
General Smuts, great South African
leader, 'and unless some strong hand
can even now clutch Europe and res
cue her from the slope down which
she is slipping, the catastrophe Of the
peace may yet become far greater
than that of the great war"
Every move brings the world nearer
the brink, as the European powers.
big and little unhampered. naneuver
they think they can strike with
safety.
Six dangerous relationships are In
full swing in Europe today--in Spain,
Italy, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and
Russia
Seven Nations in Chaos
Seven nations are in state Of
chaos involving 7O0,o0O,OOe people. or
nearly half the earth's inhabitants.
These are Germany, Austria, Hun
gary, Greece, Bulgaria, Russia and
China.
Germany faces the red terror at
any moment and there is great unrest
in Hungary, RoumAnia, Greece.
Jugo-Slavia and Spain
War in the Balkans is not improb-
able at any time, thanks to a dozen
bitter rivalaries between desperate
nations.
Italy and Jugo-Slavia are still at
daggers, drawn over the question Of
Jugo- Slavia's outlet to the sea-
Some strong hand is all that can
save Europe, says General Smuts.
Yet England and France, the two
dominant powers in the league. are
afraid to use a strong stand because
dangerously involved in the European
mess themselves.
The United States is out of It,
though with as much. or more, to
lose by another world war.
More than 1000 900 people left
farms in the United States in 1929.
and It Is estimated 10000 will leave
IN 1923.
Why? Because OF abnormal condi-
tons in this country. And conditions
IN this country are abnormal largely
because the whole world is abnormal.
Can Not ignore Nations
I'VE can no more ignore other ma
tons" said Col. E. NJ. House, than
one ward in a city can ignore other
words in the same community"
The farmers in the United States
are already hit. It Will be your turn
next. If the farmer can't buy from
the country store, the country store
cant buy from the jobber and the
jobber can't buy from the factory.
Unless a strong hand" lays hold
OF the situation-which means that
unless the United States helps restore
the world to normal-things promise
worse instead OF better, our purblind
politicians to the contrary notwtth-
standing.
