that II French security. legitimate

way safeguarded. France will in the
long run take such precautions as
may easily prevent the return Of
tranquility in Europe and prolong
the period of British Industrial de-
preston. Yet in dealing with this
problem Macdonald is resolved to
avoid the mistakes Of the pre-war
policy, to avoid alliances and to re-
sort to the league.
II at the September session Of the
League Of Nations Macdonald and
Herriot can reach an agreement upon
a plan which will leave to the League
OF Nations. either directly or through
ITS world court, the decision as to
whether the act of one nation con-
stitutes an unprovoked attack upon
another. but in addition binds the
British to defend the French in case

and in general allows nations to
agree by treaty to come to each

with the moral sanction Of the league,
and her acceptance Of the plan in

step will have been taken toward
European peace. And what is equally
clear is that similar consideration
of armaments will then be in ordert
At all events, for the first time In
its history of the League OF Nations

on more than little of the appear
ance at least of that importance
which the late President Wilson hop
ed for 1t, and successful session
may give 1t prestige and influence
which 1t has, never yet enjoyed.
Moreover, both Macdonald and Her.
riot are sincere believers in the
league. a fact which has its own sig
nificance. -

ditions will be rectified. At one time
the Soviet counted upon the Angora
government to lend it aid and COM
fort in it's plan to make inroads in
southeastern Europe. But that day
evidently has passed. Should the
Soviet strike in the Balkans. il is
conjectural as to just what Turkey
might do. but it is believed that Mus
tapha kemal would continue to be
content in his plans for the rejuvena-
tion of Turkey, eliminating. SO far
as possible, all outside interests for
the time being.
If the Soviet threat to the Balkans
is revealed as genuine, there is but
one course effectively TO scotch such
plans without actually participating
in warfare, according to London and
Paris That is. Fastening the day of
recognition of the Soviet regime and
an immediate entering into trade and
financial arrangements. These would
make it exceedingly difficult for the
Soviet to proceed further without en-
dangering outside alliances, which
even the Soviet regime has concluded
are absolutely vital If Russia is to
be restored to any semblance of pros
porous entity. England already has
started the ball rolling in this direc-
tion. France likewise has started, but
gone nowhere. Italy is in like
position.
Even with trade agreements, great
loans and other means of bringing
Russia closer to the rest of the world.
there is some question as to whether
the Soviet would not shatter these
agreements as it has shattered those
of the past at it's own whim. Re-
membrance of Soviet perfdy in in
ternational agreement has not yet
been removed This is a block to any
early settlement
In the meantime the political doc
tors of the larger powers are keeping
their fingers upon the Balkan pulse,
for there the greatest danger TO Euro
mean safety NOW lies.

spread interest and activity in indus

The work Of the committee is in

which Miss Mummenho1 holds as a
big business woman, Postmaster Gen.

She has taken an especial interest
in the pioneering phases of the
postal service and its latest stunt OF
inaugurating a through service on a
2s-hour. schedule between New York
and the Golden Gate. She points out
that now the postal service is using
every conceivable type of communi-
cation and transportation. from radio
to dog sled, including railroads.
steamboats,. automobiles, airpIanes.
motor boats, wagons. horses, pneu-
matte tubes, belt conveyors, motor

that Miss Mummenhoff is doing in
the form of complimentary letters
from those who have met her on

does not mean preaching down. 1t
