SECRETARY KELLOGG'S
HANDICAP
BY y. ID, Cochran

There appears to be disposition in quarters
to ccise Secretary of State Kellogg because Of what
appears be rather wiggly and wobby in his
Central and South American diplomacy. Some writer's
get peeved because he to arbitration with
Mexico one day, strong-arm policy the next and
then something else again the day following.
If critics want to oe fair, however, they should
take into consideration all the facts in the Sec
rotary kellogg is just twoegged man like the rest
of us. lie is a human being not god He didn't
come from olympus. On the contrary, he halls from
Minnesota, and worked his way from that great State
through law school, the United States Senate and
ambassadorship clear to the State Department
But, being human, he naturally lost his
human of looking at things. And it isn't strange
that he doesn't look at and see things other
men do Each of us sees things they appear to
own ayes; and individual minds work upon the
information eyes carry to brains. 1t is not
strange therefore that quite different opinions
from different brains.
Some of more nervous than others. Some
people fdgety while others what we call calm
and collected. Some people jump conclusions while
others jump over them or around them. Some don't
jump at all. They just mosey along. Anyhow, each
of what he sees
MIR. Kellogg is very nervous man. He can't
help that When he respected member of the
dignifed United States Senate his colleagues referred
to him 'Servous Nellie" which indicates that
United States Senators sometime s frivolous
thoughtless and unllind For Mr.. Kellogg can't help
being nervous If he could help he would If doctors
or surgeons could help his he would have his
nerves helped. So we should give Mr.. Kellogg SYM
pahy rather than criticism.
And If Secretary Kellogg doesn't always see things
below the Rio Gahde elsewhere as others see them
there may be for that which Mr.. Kellogg
can't help TO illustrate, Secretary Kellogg is unfor-
tunate in not having two good eyes like most Of his
critics Through fault of his own Secretary kellogg
has eyes that are not mates While of them is
normal, the other is glass; and far-minded man
would expect Mr. Kellogg to well with his glass
eye as with his regular eve.
Science is working wonders in the physical world
nowadays. 1t has divided the ndivsib!e atom
into marvellous electrons that dart around central
nucleus the stars and planets revolve around the
SUM- They have sent the human voice HURTING through
space at the speed of light They have sent photo
graphs of the channel swimmers on the beach at
Catalina about to leap into the waves and swim TO
San Pedro so that within few hours the photographs
could appear in New York papers.
But they have not yet developed glass eye that
VIII See And until they do We should bear sympa-
thetically with Secretary kellogg when he is looking
southwark toward our neighbors beyond the Rio
Grande and trying to what's going on If at times
he appears to have onensided, one-eyed view of
things down there, just remember the facts and give
Secretary Kellogg time to readiust his physical and
mental vision and get things straight
