WOES LAID TO POOR
 STATESMEN
to View Chaos and Many Wars
 of Old World

DENVER, April 4.-"Poor states manship" is the real cause of the chaotic conditions in Europe, de- clared Captain Eddie Rickenbacher, Americas lace of aces" in the World War, in an interview here.
 "The lives lost on the field of action in the World War were ab- solutely wasted, and the selfish, mar row statesmanship of the European nations has brought those countries to the brink of conflict that will make the last war look like a sham battle," said Rickenbacher.
 "The whole situation in Europe was a bitter disappointment to me- v said the ace. q remember at the signing of the Armistice, all the glamor and the noise, and the guns and cannons, and airplanes that were part of the war.
 "The situation now, however, is more chaotic than it was then. More wars are going on in Europe than ever before.
 "This condition is but the result of poor statesmanship. They are all selfish, working for some personal politicical end. With their intrigues and petty desires they have entirely forgotten to look into the future, There is not a man with the broad outlook and unselfishness of the George Washington, Benjamin Franklin or an Abraham Lincoln. Some such man must arise, or a war must surely come and America will inevitably be involved.'
 Rickenbacher, who is now in the automobile business, predicted that 1923 would see the most prosperous era ever enjoyed by that industry.
