London, Sept. 1.-Supporters of the
League Of Nations are anxiously
watching developments between Italy
and Greece and wondering whether
the long awaited opportunity is APP
preaching for the league TO vindicate
their faith in its power to prevent war.
Friends of peace shudder at the
thought of what might eventuate if
the league fails TO bring a just settle
ment between two of its members at
this juncture.
1t would mean a decisive loss OF
prestige-perhaps the utter collapse of
those carefully laid plans to end war
for all time.
If Italys inflamed nationalism pro-
vokes her into using force to extract
from Greece huge indemnity and n
humiliating naval ceremony, wnat
steps could the league take to bring
about an equitable settlement:
Impartial reviews of the frontier
outrage leads to the belief that the
Greek government was not actually
implicated directly and that Musso-
linis heated demands exceed the
bounds Of what any modern nation
might expect in the way of reparauon.
1t is almost universally held that
Italy should withhold a display of
force until a thorough inquiry has es-
| tabllShed the exact nature of the out
rage against Italian honor committed
on Greek soil.
| Undoubtedly the League of Nations
could quickly establish a commission
of inquiry which would first determine
the nationality of the murderers and
judge fairly what financial indemnity
Greece should pay.
But what will happen if Italy takes
forceful measures at the very moment
that Greece is appealing for the
leagues protection?
VIII all the countries adhering TO
the league establish an industrial boy
colt to prevent Italy from declaring
war, forcing her TO accept the leagues
mediation, or will divergent foreign
policies of the principal members keen
them from interfering?

was given out today that Great Brit.
ain and France want Italy to treat
Greece with moderation, but how far
will the two governments support this
line of action?
! Information at this juncture leads
to the belief that Britain will actively
support France in an effort to secure
fair play from Greece no matter how
| a.
against such a policy.
British foreign policy wants peace
in the Near East above everything
else and has worked tirelessly toward
that end, even to the point of giving
way before the extravagant demands
put forward by the Turks at Lau
same.
War between Greece and Italy
would wreck the whole structure ant
therefore must be prevented, almost al
any cost

So did New Hampshire. Maine, Con-

Now. all are tumbling over them
selves to get in line for him in 1924.
But President Coolidge is no Indian

because somebody opposed him at
some time.
He believes that politicians should
have short memories and he long ago
recognized that politics make strange

So, it may be said there is room

American Flour for Japan

'Who gives quickly gives twice." venerable
maxim, applies aptly to the present distress of Japan.
Therefore The Omaha Bee has telegraphed to the
president of the United States suggesting that the

sent to the relief of the stricken people of Japan with
out delay.
This believe, is practical philanthropy
capable of being carried out Immediately Distress ir
Japan has not reached its climax for the need of

of food and clothing will have to be poured into t.
devastated region for many weeks Americans are
acting, but the federal government do something
here that will help both the earthquake victims and the
home farmers, and without in any way seeming to
exploit great calamity in which all the world is
concerned.
Purchase and shipment of flour in large quantities

that confrons the wheat farmers of the United States
They are not in the dire predcament that has over
whelmed the Japanese yet if the government purchases
flour made from their grain it will accomplish double
purpose, giving succor to the victims of appalling
disaster and diminishing surplus that stands against
any probable chance for bringing needed relief to
agriculture of the United States.
This is why We have approached the president of
the United States in this great emergency feeling
fident that he will the need of the moment and act
