a ForaiUn Policv-Or War


The United States must soon evolve "a construc-
tive foreign policy or eventually the world will DRIFT
into another great war; so former Ambassador Henry
Morganthau told weekend audience in Phila-
delphia.
Now is this were new idea it would not be SO
startling. If it were the exclusive property OF the
distinguished diplomat, there would be nothing IN
it to keep us awake nights. Individuals, however
brilliant are frequently mistaken. But the creepy
thing about what the ex-ambassador said is that
thinking people the world inclined to agree
with him.
Our present foreign policy is extremely nebulous
and what there is Of it is based upon thoroughly mis-
taken notions
We have Monroe Doctrine but our policy is such
thme tho Latin Americans whom, with ourselves II
would protect are fast being weaned from us
We have an open door policy in the Far East, but
by a quixotic gesture part we scrapped the
navy which alone could uphold that policy were any
first class western Pacific power to dispute it.
We hSye colonial, or overseas territorial policy
yet we lack the power necessary to enforce it.
The Philippine Islands could be taken from us today
and would be powerless to prevent it.
Our sea-borne trade is worth approximately ten
hilon dollars year to us, yet we lack a merchant
marine to carry more than third Of IT, or a navy
powerful enough to protect it in N places should

a first class power object to its presence.

first class power object to its presence.
We say we intend to remain aloof from the rest
of the world yet coalition of foreign nations could
force us to, our knees eventually merely by with
holding from us certain raw materials
We pretend that what happens to the rest of the
world is none of our business, yet foreigners owe
the people of the United States more than all our
railroads, all telephone and telegraph lines and
all our street railways are worth all put together.
We are constantly pleading for world peace We
entered the great war, said, to make it war
to end wars. Yet we appear to recoil from the
mere thought of cooperation with the rest Of the
nations in a commonl effort to make world peace
secure
Small wonder, then, that peoples everywhere look
upon us with wonder and suspicion and sometimes
fear in the face of these conflicting policies.
If we really intend to have isolation, we require
the nightiest fleet the world has ever seen-a fleet
greater than those of any other two powers COM
bined-to make that isolation even half way secure
For against us one day there would surely arise a
coalition and we would needs be able to defend our
selves against any such combination and make
selves selfsustaining long period of years while
we were doing.
Unless we prepared to go in for such mon
ster program of armament ths-and, in our opin-
ion there is not American in a thousand who
would stand for it-then we must drop our pose of
isolation and evolve constructive foreign policy
based upon world cooperation instead of force
That is what we going to have to do if we
wish to safeguard the Philippines keep the open door
open, protect fast growing foreign trade and in
Vestments and regain fading prestige abroad 1t
is the only alternative to another world war;

Emerson High School students
started something recently when
they walked out as protest against
bringing Negro students to their
building. Now students of the
Kouts High School have struck
because township authorities re-
fused to build gymnasium, in
which the high school team could
play basketball.
Encouragement came from the
fact that the Emerson students
won their point, at least temper
arily, when Gary school author
tiles decided to keep the Negroes
out of the Emerson building while
they investigated the possibility
of erecting temporary structure
for them. The Kouts students
figured, logically, that if the pu-
pills Of the larger school could
succeed they could also win.

give those involved a swelled sense
of their own Importance and Gre
ate in their minds the idea that
there is no authority that cannot
be coerced into yielding. Instead
of accepting discipline. they &C

better ways, always, of settling
such difficulties.

Keeping Out Bananas

There is something appealing in the frank and
simple selshness of this latest of Hobbies which
seeks to put tariff on bananas
1t isn't that they wish to encourage the growing
of bananas in the United States Climate prevents
To any appreciate extent.
They want to keep out the banana. They want
to keep the banana out so it will not compete with
other fruits
So there you are.
Here is cheap nutritious food which even the
poor can often afford At ten cents the dozen they
are one of the cheapest and best foods in the market
Keeping them out will not mean that the poor
family will eat apples at ten cents apiece It will
merely mean that they will not eat bananas II the
tariff is made sufficiently high bananas will be
added-the few imported-to the ten cents apiece
1rules winch are the choice of the family with an
unlimited food budget And such families are about
one in ten.
That is the heart of the tariff theory Starve
the many and fatten the few.

Prefer Legends to Gossip

So far as real respect for the
fathers goes, it will be determined
by the way we emulate their
example, and by nothing else.
BY and large, the chattering,
over such controversies as whether
George Washington cut down a
cherry tree, whether John Han
cock was a smuggler, whether
Samuel Adams paid his bills, are
of no great consequence.
The real object in teaching our
children American history is to
help them solve present day prob
lens through the application OF
those standards and principles on
which this government rests.
1t is more important that they
understand what the fathers
would do about farm relief, flood
control, foreign debts and the coal
situation than it is for them to be
confused with a lot Of trivial in
cidentS.
Patriotism, like every other
virtue, can only be trusted when
it rests on the power to think.
Loyalty of the hooking bird
kind never protected a State, and
never will.

One Court Reform

The courts are clogged, and the jury system is
inefficient. So run two common complaints against
the administration of justice in this country
Ye5 Maryland, later Connecticut and now MICHIGAN
have in effect simple system which goes a consid-
cradle way toward answering both complaints.
For seventy-f1ve years those accused of feIonies
in Maryland have had the privilege of being tried
by judge Cor panel of three judges or by Jury.
Large numbers OF them have elected to be tried
by the judges The time, expense and uncertainty of
selecting jury and trying the case before it have
been eliminated
Connecticut has had the same system for some
thing like twenty years, and Michigan has lately
tried it. 1t seems simple enough and efficacous
enough to warrant consideration by States whose
courts are clogged and whose jury system unsats-
factory.

Unimportant Details

American history has grown vol
luminous.
Our library shelves groan with
thousands of volumes, the ma
jority of which express some in
dividual viewpoint.
Though the basic facts may be
well authenticated, there is con-
fusion and disagreement over many
of the details, the very unim-
portance of which should cause us
to pass them by rather than
quarrel.
1t really makes no difference
what Ethan Allen said when he
confronted the British comman-
dant all dressed up in his "undies"
apd no place to go, or what Pat
rick Henry did not say in his i'm
mortal speech, or whether Betsy
Ross originated the design of the
Stars and Stripes or patterned it
after another's idea.
1t does make a difference
whether this republic represented
a new form of government, a new
conception of liberty, a new inter-
probation of human rights, and it
makes still more of a difference,
whether we are acting faithfully
toward the original ideals.

gresham and a former mayor be
singled out Tor public scorn and
silence be kept as to others who
might figure in the boX's contents?
Rumors have been going about
State for months concerning this
and that person having been fool
ish enough to write promises to
Stephenson, and if they are true
the black box must be a wonder
full storage of scandal. The public
is entitled 70 have the lid raised
completely, for after being per-
mitted to know little, it should
know all. If certain officials who
are said to figure in the black
box are innocent, their innocence
will be established by throwing the
contents wide open.
According to newspaper dis
patches, Senator Arthur F.. Robin
son has expressed the hope that
the prosecutor will publish every
thing in the black box or boxes in
order that his name might be
cleared from annoying rumor. The
Senator relates frankly that on
one occasion he and his law part
neN presented Stephenson with
Beveridge's Life of John Mar

so busy at the time making his
famous collection for the boxes
that he had no time, until later,
for heavy reading.

Mines Real Problem

Putting aside some half a dozen
other problems, what would the
fathers do about such a plea as
the coal miners of Pennsylvania
have presented to President
Coolidge?
What would they do If told
that thousands of policemen and
deputy sheriffs were paid and
housed at the expense of private
corporations, and that courts had
issued injunctions which might be
construed as frobidding union
miners to- assemble at church if,
and when strike breakers were
in attendance?

A Greek myth relates that Pan
dora, the first mortal woman Gre
ated by the gods as a revenge
upon man for the theft OF fire
from heaven by Prometheus, was
induced by curiosity to open up a
certain box, thus letting out into
the world all evils ana disease.
The myth does not describe the
color of the box, but it can be pre-
sumed that receptacle for so many
evils should have been black
something like D. G. Stephensons
famous black box. or boxes.
The story of Stephenson's box
and it's contents does not coinside
in all details with the beautiful
story related by the Greeks, but
it has is resemblances. In the
first place, it would appear that
the gods, or fate, wanted revenge
upon a number of Indiana poll
ticians for something or other, and
sought to connect them by rumor
with the contents of the black box.
Again, doubtless the box is full OF
evils or accounts of evil doings.
But Pandora, in the form OF the
special prosecutors in charge OF
the Marion County grand jury
political inquiry, no sooner opened
the lid of the Stephenson box than
she closed it again, and everything
was not allowed to escape to the
public. The lid was raised just
far enough for the contents OF
alleged letters written by Con-
gresham Ralph Updike and for
mer Mayor John Duvall of Indian
apolis, to escape through the
crack. Why was it slammed shut

SAYS:

A companionate marriage, such
as that sanctioned by Mr.. and Mrs.
Haldeman-Julius in the case OF
their 1s-year-old daughter and
her 2O-year-old husband proves
nothing.
It is merely courtship with a
marriage certificate at the begin
ming, instead of at the end.
A wedding ceremony brings no
knowledge to young people if they
go on living as before.
They might just as well try TO
find out whether they can swim
by sitting on the beach in bath
ing suits.
