Editorial Comment
The Return of the German Colonies
(ChicapO Trihune)

The increase of the mandate commission of the
league Of nations will make place for Germany.
and this action it is reported from Geneva, is said
or more of the territories taken from her by the
treaty Of Versailles.
The league has reason to handle this subject mat
ter somewhat gingerly for it is loaded with dyna-
mite but if it is disposed to be taken seriously on
this side of the water, it will do we'll to de-
csively in the direction indicated by this report.
There is nothing in the proceedings of the victors
the American people, many of the passionate
partisans of the allies than the scramble for loot
at Versailles and the complete stripping from Ger
many of her valuable colonial appanages. There
was no justification for this distribution of plumber
in the highly idcalstic formula with which the
allies captured the conscience of people tradi-
tionally opposed to participation in European af
fairs There were reasons plausible enough, such
as the claim for damages, but the groundwork OF
these had been considerably weakened in the revela
tions of pre-war diplomacy made since the end
ed. The advertised guilt of Germany is now viewed
in very different light and perspective, and her
treatment at Versailles bears less and less we'll the

the noble principles, the glow of which melted our
reluctance to enter European conflict.
A restoration to the German republic of her for
mer colonies or substantial part of them would
seem to most Americans act of justice. on at
any rate of expediency, in the interest of Euro
pean stability and Of world progress.

The motion picture situation has been temporar
lily eased with the granting of respite to one Of
the larger companies from order which prohib
tied them from "bock booking and other practices
which the government contends inimical to in
dividual exhibitors
This practice of block booking has worked par
ticular hardships on the small exhibitors. They
have had little or no choice of the pictures they
would like to show When they do decide on some
outstanding picture, they forced often to ac-
cept number of mediocre films.
There are other things which require straighten-
ing out in the movie tangle So it Isl in way. a
good thing that the government has stepped in to
take charge for it that the motion picture
industry will eventually be able to follow we'll
defined set of trade principles which will be fair to
the small as we'll as to the large exhibitor.

Medical Association and Of Hygeia,

Some years ago it was found that
when carnations were shipped by ex-
press. under some circumstances, the
flowers went to sleep and the buds
did not open.
An investigation revealed that the
illuminant Pintsch gas, which con-
sists largely Of ethylene, was the
responsible substance. This led
psychologists to test ethylene as an
anesthetic, and as a result it has be-
come one Of the most widely used
general anesthetics in American
medical practice, largely replacing
ether and chloroform.
About four years ago, physicians
Of the United States Bureau Of
Chemistry reported that the color Of
oranges and lemons could be made
natural by. exposure Of the green
fruits to an atmosphere OF etkylene,
and since that time this method has
become general practice. Applica-
tions of cthylcne are being used now
to speed up tn ripening process. Of
bananas. tomatoes, celery and other
fruits and vegetables.
= Cheap to Apply
Apparently ethylene removes ex-
cess acidity, increases sugar content
and removes tannins and other OBJ
jectionable substances. A single
dose Of ethylene, about two or three
cubic feet. costs less than 40 cents
to carload Of fruit, and is suffi-
cient to produce . remarkable change
in the time necessary to ripen bana-
mas and to change their color, flavor
and texture.
The physiologic chemists and the
biologists are now making serious
studies to determine the mechanism
bv which these results are brought
about. Apparently ethylenc increases
the breathing rate and, associated
with this. the concentration of the
fruit acids and Of the tannins be-
comes less. Some investigators be-
licye. however. that the ethylenc acts
as a catalytic agent.
Loss Of vitamins
In the meantime. The Journal of
the American Medical Association
points out that many additional stud
les are needed in relation to the use
Of ethylene on food substances. Re-
cent investigations show that irradia-
tion by the sun confers upon fresh

"Waves" and Facts
(NcW York Times

At the height of the recent suicide wave" among
young people the vital statsticians warned against
hasty cancellations. That caution is now
hrmed in detailed study of extant figures by the
experts of the Metropolitan Life Insurance com
pany. In the period between 900 and 1924 the sui
eide rate for the population whole has steadily
declined and the most notable improvement has
been in the very group age between 10 and IS. But
to the fervcnt believer in the theory Of social
phenomena this will not be conclusive answer.
Developments covering a period of fifteen years
would constitute not wave but tide. and a sud
den upheaval in direction contrary to the general
trend is not inconceivable. The somber- records Ct
sclf-destruction do, a matter Of fact show such
peaks. The complete answer will come when the
definitivc figures for the year 1927 studied and
it is shown that the suicide rate not above the
normal.
Sounder justification exists for the popular belief
in "crilnc wave" But here, too, there has been
cxaggeraton. Even the progressive penologists who
dccried excitement over the "crimc wave admit
that in the number of serious crimes, murder, bur-
glary and highway robbery, there was an increase,
though the total figures for law violation show a
decline The effect Of the Baumes laws in this state
as recorded in the police statistics has been marked
The results should be welcomed most OF all by
those who believe that crime is conditioned by deep
and permanent factors than police efficiency
and severity of punishment. If q crime wave can
be made to give way speedily before prompt law
enforcement, it is proof that there is nothing rad
ically wrong with the body social. We're there
deep-rooted forces at work for the encouragement
Of crime, they would not yield so easily to public
action. It is reassuring to know that crime waves
are, after all, only alterations.
This fact is overlooked by those who 90 panicky
over non-existent suicide waves refuse to recog-
y;xo ox;stont crime waves Whether the wave be
there or not it would be well to refrain from gen.
eralizing the isolated phenomenon into an omnous
Situation" No time was lost in explaining the
late suicide wave" due to the general decline n
moral fiber, the insurgency Of modern youth, the
breakup Of the family, the automobile, jazz, AMI
what not. Now that it is shown that the recent
tragedies among the young were 1t most tenn
porary upAare. all such narrowing social diagnoses
begin to look rather foolish. ..sssss~

1lO Years Ago

September II OF this year Will mark the l40th
anniversary Of the completion and signing of the
constitution. II is therefore fitting that Governor
sorlic should have declared this week Know the
Constitution Week.
Unfortunately too few of US have stopped to con
slider what great document the constitution is.
The high school student learns of its history and
how it into being, but because that is some.
thing taught to him in school, he usually proceeds
to forget about it within short time. And, in 4
way. that IS tribute TO the genius which wrought
out this document. Where there is little dissat-
isfaction, where country function in we'll
ordered manner without the necessity Of its peo-
pie pauslng TO condemn condone the government
under which it functions, there is plainly a guiding
force behind il all which is close to perfection as
be expected.
The thing which must impress anyone who studies
the constitution is it's extraordinary vitality and
modernity 1t framed lao years ago. but i.
is still well adapted tho people Of this country
it was in 1897
Benjamin Franklin, shortly after the constitutions
al convention wrote to friend and commented Oh
the fact that SO all-encompassng document should
have been drawn up by group of men who were
OF such widely varying opinions. II the same atti-
tude toward it were followed in years to come an !
if those in public office administered it as ably as
those in office at that time, he said it would most
assuredly prove success.
1t is notable fact that during the many years
since the constitution drawn! up, this country
has had at its head at all times men who preserved
the attitude of respect toward it which prevailed
in Frankn's day and administered it on the high
plane for which it was intended. 1t can be safely
-zxid that not one of the amendments which the
passage of time made necessary has been adopted
without the consent and approval of the great ma
jority Of the people,
~ Il the United States continues to have in office
such men those who now, and have beer

example of government by thinking, intelligent
