Panama's Plea

Panama has appealed not only to
United States to acknowledge her
complete sovereignty over the canal,
but she has made this appeal
through the League of Nations.
This is startling because Of what
it forecasts, rather than what it in
wolves.
Putting aside the merits of her
claim, Panama has established a
precedent which other Latin-Amer-
lean nations will not be slow to fol-
low.
If she can invoke the good Offices
of the league as mediator between
herself and this country, SO can
they.
Unless all signs fail, we are going
to be sharply reminded that there is
such an institution as the League OF
Nations whether we persist ir
staying out of it or not.
Our splendid isolation" offers nc
guarantee that other countries will
refrain from taking their disputes
with us to the league, or that the
league will refuse to hear them.

Constitution Ended Period of Chaos

recovered from his depression be-
cause of the benefit effect of the
Constitution that he began writing
letters of cheer and hope to his
friends.
On June 3, 1890, approximately
three years from the time the con-
vention was called. Washington
wrote to La Fayette:
"You have, doubtless, been in
formed, from time to time, of the
happy progress of our affairs. The
principal difficulties seem,
in a. great measure. to have been
surmounted.
On July 10, 1871, less than four
years after the Constitution was
signed, Washington wrote to Cath
crime Macaulay Graham:
"The United States enjoys a scene
of prosperity and tranquility under
the new government that could
hardly have been hoped for"
On the following day, Washing
ton wrote to David Humphreys:
Our public credit stands on that
high ground which three years ago
it would have been considered as a
species of madness to have foretold. .
This history of the world reveals
no other period Of five years during
which two sets of letters, describing
two such totally different sets OF
conditions. could have truthfully
been written. All historical evidence
OF that period confirms the descrip-
tion OF conditions as set forth by
Washington's letters.
What was it that happened be-
tween the writing of these two ex-
traordinary sets of letters? Just this:

Bear in mind that the Constitu-
ton was signed Sept. II. 1887.
On Oct. 7, l785, one year and
eleven months before the Constitu-
ton was adopted Washington wrote
to James Warren:
I'VE are descending into the vale
of confusion and darkness"
On July 26. 1876, less than one
year and two months before the
Constitution was adopted, WASH
'ington wrote to William Grayson:
BE the causes what they may,
it is shameful and disgusting. We
seem either not capable or not will
ing to take care of ourselves"
On Nov. S, 1876, about ten months
before the Constitution was adopted,
Washington wrote to James Madi-
son:
mo day was ever more clouded
than the present We are
fast verging to anarchy and con-
fusion. A constitution, we'll
guarded and closely watched to pre-
vent enchoachments, might restore

He wrote numerous letters in a
vein similar to the ones from which
brief excerpts are quoted here, de-
scribing conditions in terms Of con-
fusion, anarchy and chaos.
Under such conditions of chaos
and despair, fifty-five men naet at
Philadelphia and framed the Con-
stitution.

months to write the Constitution
almost a year to have it ratified by

Price of Genius

Genius and reproduction have
never gone hand in hand.
Sheep can live longer and grow
more wool without abandoning their
instinct to reproduce, but men can
not accumulate and become pros
porous without a tendency to grow
childlesS.
There may have been periods in
the past when the upper classes had
as high a birth rate as the lower
classes, but they have been the ex-
ceptions rather than the rule.
Human experience proves nothing
more wildly than than poverty
breeds faster than wealth.
