It would be able TO apply this knowi.
edge 10 the human race. Several
years ago u was thought that great
progress was being made In these re.
searches. The world war stopped
them. because international associa.
ton Of scientists was necessary on
account OF the number OF turtles
that could DO used being very small.
since the war tho turtles have prac.
tically become extinct.
The Galapagos Islands arc Off the
coast OF Ecundor. The turtles. once
numerous. have been hunted for
their meat and shells and for the oil
that was boiled from the fat. Some
OF them now In captivity are known
to be several hundred years old
When full grown they weigh nearly

solutely on European policy.
They clash al every turn. AT
bottom France wants weak
Germany which cannot Invade
her again. and England wants
new Germany with big bank
account and purchasing power.
The one IL vital 10 France. the
other is necessary to England.
England, too, can dispense
with the small percentage Of rep
aratlons she stood TO get from
Germany. France can never re.
cover and pay her debts unless
she gets all that is coming TO
her.
The dispute Is not so much
sheer bullheadedness as 1t is a
matter OF life and death for
France and the difference be-
tween prosperity and perjury for
England. / say England. because
the question is English rather
