Canada Is Satisfied

Canada is not disappointed at the
assurance that Volsteadism will con-
tinue in this country. One Canadian
newspaper asserts that Americans
spent more than $300,000.000 for
booze across the border last year,
which represents an increase Of
twenty-five or fifty million over the
preceding year and which warrants
the assumption that business will
improve next year.
The exact amount may be open to
dispute, but the fact that 1t has
and the likelihood that it will con-
tinue to grow is not.
Our relations with Canada seem
likely to be cemented by a cordially
never before known. There is Moth
ing in fact on the horizon, or at
the bridgeheads to prevent us from
looking forward not only to another
century o. peace, but to such an
intimacy as the peoples of the two
countries have not previously en-
ioyed.

SAYS:

TN one sense the election was not
i a referendum on prohibition. In
another sense 1t was.
The presidential vote was rather
meaningless, because good many
vets voted for Hoover, while a good
many dryS voted for Smith.
Rightly or wrongly, these voters
assumed that Hoover could not pre-
vent modification and that Gov
ernor Smith could not bring it
about.
One cannot dismiss congressional
results so lightly. Candidates for
the house and senate were forced
to take a stand on the liquor ques-
ton. No matter how much of
part that stand played in the vote
they received, 1t is bound to play
an all-important part In determin-
ing the attitude of congress.
Measured on such basis, the
election resulted in dry gains.
The new senate will contain six
more drys than the present one,

A Vain Phantom

Though the American secretary OF state Frank
B. Kellogg, and the French foreign minister, Aristide
BRAND, may share this years Nobel peace prize for
their outlawry of pact European statesmen have
never for a moment hypnotzed themselves into be-
heving In Its potency.
It is important that this should be understood in
the United States. A trife naive In international
matters, we sometimes are inclined to take such
things too literally
step In the right direction, yes but 1t would be
folly for to doze off in the comfortable belief that
Old Man Mars forever had been relegated to the
tall timbers Europeans believe such thing.
At tie moment, Europe is having quiet chuckle
at our expense watching us with twinkle, half OF
amusement, half irony, in her eyes the Presidents
official family tries to explain it must-the appar
ent paradox between war outlawry and increased
ornaments. These officials not afford to live In
a fools paradise.
For instance, Secretary Of War Davis said to the
American Legion, in reunion at San Antonio:
DESTROYS of peace you nevertheless have realized
that we must not jeopardize heritage Of liberty
during our search for panacea for war. Therefore
you will wish to know that the Government does
not intend that there should be any weakening OF
the national defense a result of these treaties"
The reaction Of the European press to this pro-
nouncement simply was that Secretary Davis ex-
pressed Seu-eVloenC CruLn Every european country
felt the same way about it. The pact of Paris
changed nothing.
I'm the new world as well as the DID," commented
the representative Echo de Paris "the solemn pact of
Aug q is turning into joke . When we speak
Of it today have feeling Of evoking the most vain
of phantoms . :"
1t is too bad that this is so, but we gain nothing
and stand to lose much by refusing to recognize truth
when we see it.
Down in the bottom Of his heart every signatory
Of the pact realized that he making helpful
moral gesture against war, but not practical one
which could be lived up to at this time.
Even war instrument of national policy

"war an instrument of national policy in her han

is her goal
France is using war an instrument of national
policy" when she lets Germany and Austria under

their union. Britain is using "war as instrument
Of national policy" in fighting soviet Russa activities
and in Egypt and the United States is using war

STAYS Put-Not HitChed

The Democratic party has shown
vastly more ability to stay put than
to stay hitched. There Is not the
slightest probability Of its blowing
up this trip, but there is a ire
mendous probability that it will
go into reverse gear once more.
To be specific, the chance that a
Tammany man, or even a New
Yorker viii receive its Endorsement
for the presidency four years hence
is about 100 to /.
So, too, Is the chance that it will
let any candidate re-write its plat
form with regard to prohibition or
the tariff, or adopt any attitude
that is likely to imperil southern
support.
The Democratic party Is in about
the same position as 1t was after
Alton B. Parker's defeat in 1904,
from which it emerged nicely, even
II it did have to 90 back to Bryan.

Reason

WE are glad to hear that Sen-
w ator Borah may not head the
state department under the Hoover
administration, but probably will
stay In the senate, in the greater
position Of chairman Of the foreign
relations committee.
The woods are full Of men who
can serve satisfactorily as secretary
of state, for the holder of this post
will be a mere yes man under a
strong character like Hoover, but
there are very few who could fill
Borah'S place in the senate, and
none of these are available to the
naked eye.
Those who say we could suppress
crime by forbidding the sale of re-
volverS, forget that every state in
the Union must make such sales I'M
lawful, and they overlook the fact
that all the crooks are supplied with
guns or would get them in spite of
everything.
The only people who would obey
such law would be decent people
who wanted guns for self-protection.

A Memorial and More

Ten years after the ending Of the great war,
this city on Monday will march not only in
memory of those who fought but in a new
dedication to the cause of peace
The great parade will include every civic
organization, and every organization should be
represented in that parade.
The occasion will furnish the opportunity
for a revival Of one phase of the wartime era
the joining together of all the people in COM
mon spirit for common cause.
That spirit has been sadly missing since
Armistice day, ten years ago, when JOY at the
ending of bloodshed carried men to frenzied
demonstrations but linked all with bond of
brotherhood.
How quickly we went separate ways, and
very often into paths that brought divisions
and disagreements, of selfshness after all the
tension of unselfshness.
The ten years have brought with them new
heights of material gains and progress, new
standards Of living that have been better stand
ards, new comforts that have made old luxuries
seem almost privations.
But it is as lamentable as it is true, that
the ten years have not been remarkable for
any spirit of civic consciousness and pride The
note Of common purpose in civic affairs has
been sadly missing. There have been discordant
groups and little Of harmonious working for
civic advances.
The hour has come when there is need of
new army, not of soldiers who risk their lives,
but of men and women who risk their thoughts,
their time, their services for building and not
destroying.
Those who have planned this great parade
of civic soldiers have done we'll 1t will serve
to remind that America, land of opportunity,
retains it's soul and its ideals, that it can work
together in harmony for spiritual progress as
it fought together in times of need for self
preservation of its sovereignty.
This parade might well be the signal for
an expression of civic consciousness, call to
service for this city of Indianapolis to lead to
higher planes of culture, of better feeling, to
an end that we no longer seek for points of
disagreement but search only for those causes
on which there can be an agreement and
common purpose.
Civic consciousness can only be builded upon
civic pride.
We march again-and we march in joyous,
happy confidence that this city has greater
future than it has had glorious past future
to which all are dedicated in a spirit of hope
and good will.
1t is memorial and more than memorial
It is new dedication of faith.

Guard Child Against Pneumonia

The mother should do everything
possible to prevent the child COM
ing into contact with other chill
dren who have running noses,
coughs, colds and sore threats.
DR.. J. H. M. Knox, Jr., chief of
the department of child hygiene
of the state of Maryland, has an
alyzed the statistics of that state
in his connection.
There we're 1876 deaths from
pneumonia among children under
five years of age in Maryland during
the first eight months of 1923,
whereas there were only 161 deaths
among the children of the same age
from the diseases of the intestins
which are commonly believed to be
the most serious causes of infant
deaths.
Nearly all of the deaths from in
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-11-10

festival disorders occur in the sum-
mer, whereas the pneumonia deaths
are associated with cold weather
and the changes that occur in fall
and winter.
Especially important is it to pro-
tect the child against sharp changes
of temperature which through a
century of experiences have been
associated with the onset Of fall and
winter colds. Moreover, the lowered
resistance associated with the cold
leads frequently to pneumonia.
A child with a severe cold or with
symptoms of influenza accompanied
by fever should be kept in bed and
should remain in bed with good
medical attention for several days
after the temperature has returned
to normal.

The Solution

HERE we have a case where the
H opponents are forced to lead
probably much against their wishes.
South leads the ace of trumps and
North discards his diamond. South
then leads a heart or a club, North
winning the trick with his highest
card of the suit led. North then
returns the same suit and East wins
the trick. But East is then power
less to do anything but lead to
North's major tenace in whatever
suit remains.
OF course if the trump is not led
at the first trick, East and West
will easily defeat the problem.

A T this season, with increasing

out proper attention to the child's
health, the number of cases Of
pneumonia following neglected colds
in babies and young children is
likely to increase.
Pneumonia is an infectious dis
ease caused by a germ. The same

ton as is given to the prevention

KEEPING UP

1929
VXTASHINGTON, Nov. lo.-Her-
w bert Hooyer's plan for a semi
official tour of Latin America this
winter is considered here one OF
the most brilliant and effective ever
made by a president-elect.
This is incomprehenSible to those
who have movie idea of South
America as an all-tropical land
Of Tango, toreador and Siesta, which
Hoover has chosen as a good vaca-
ton place.
But Hoover will not be on vaca-
ton and South America is not like
the movies.
One does not choose to travel on
a battle cruiser for comfort; one
does not choose a continuous round
Of official greetings and ceremonials
for rest or for fun.
Hoover is heading south on high
official business. That business is
better diplomatic relations and
more trade. And both of these
are virtually important to the peace
and prosperity Of the United States
under the Hoover administration,
or as some would say, under the
next two Hoover administrations.
|, Unwritten law forbids foreign
travel by an American President,
a law which is broken, and then
with great difficulty, only in some
world emergency such as took Will
son to the Paris peace conference.
So Hoover must go now, If at all.
Hoover's decision to make this
unprecedented senni-off1cial foreign
tour as Fresident-elect is expected
to be a revelation to American citi-
zens not only of the generally I'M
appreciated Importance of our
Latin American diplomatic and
commercial relations but of the sig
nificant fact also that those rela-
tons need mending.
The situation in a nutshell Is said
to be that the United States is
feared, hated or distrusted by many
groups in most Latin-American
countries. This is due in part to
the small amount of intercourse,
commercial and cultural, in the
past; or to errors Of our commercial
and cultural missionaries" in those
countries.
But, study of the Latin Ameri-
can press indicates, most of this
anti-Yankee sentiment is due to
predatory practices Of certain
United States corporations exploit
ing those countries, and to the al
legged imperialism of the Washing
ton government in the Caribbean
countries.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-11-10

ID lightly or wrongly, it is said
IN the net effect of the Latin
American policy of the Wilson,
Harding ID Coolidge administra-
tons has en- to increase in those
southern countries the old distrust
Of the colossus of the north" Our
Sheffield Mexican policy, our pro-
tested Panaman treaty, our refuS-
al to grant autonomy to Porto Rico
and suffrage to the Virgin islands,
our continued marine intervention
in Haiti and Nicaragua are cases
in point.
Hence political friendship and
trade tends to be jeopardized.
Hoover's reaction to this situation
is plain enough, for it has been
repeatedly revealed in his conduct
of the commerce department and
in his campaign statements on the
basic factors of American prosper
ity.
His attitude, roughly, is this:
l. The humanitarian and pacific
instincts of the American people
favor full understanding and
friendly relations with other
peoples.
2. Our international and economic
interests from a purely selfish
standpoint require such peaceful
and friendly relations. For, Just
as military and naval aggression is
the necessary basis Of territorial
empire and expansion, such ag-
gression prevents the so-called
peaceful penetration of trade and
voluntary diplomatic cooperation
which is the only possible basis of
United States international power.
3. American prosperity is de-
pendent on foreign trade. AL
though our exports are a relatively
small part of our total domestic
production, those exports represent
the leeway between prosperity and
constant unemployment OF from s.
100000 to 100000 workers.
4, Our European export trade win
tend to diminish with rapid eco
nomic reconstruction and stabiliza-
ton of continental countries, with
industrialization of eastern Europe,
and with formation of all-European
cartels or trusts to shut out Ameri-
can competition.
5. Hence we are driven, even more
than in the past, to depend on
Latin America for raw materials,
and for markets for our excess capt.
tai and surplus production.
6. Latin America needs and wants
foreign capital, and must exchange
through foreign trade its raw ma
terials for finished products. The
United States. by its geographical
proximity, it's position as world
banker, and It's low-cost production
efficiency, its peculiarly fitted to
help develop Latin America to the
advantage of both sides.
Z. AS in Mexico, the United States
must achieve this by substituting
for threatening and dictatorial
policy, a so-called Morrow policy OF
cooperation and mutual aggran-
dizement. Hoover was partly re-
sponsible for changing the Mexican
policy.
8. Latin American countries must
be dealt with as distinct nations
and not Jumped together. Particu-
larly, there must be a sharp differ
entiation between the tropical Car
ibbean countries where the United
States has certain naval interests.
and the highly developed, large,
temperate countries, such as Chile,
Argentina and others.
