The Exiles of Crusoe's Island

A Communist plot to overthrow the Government
of Chile, dispatches relate just has been foiled by
the discovery and arrest of forty plotters, among
them the of ex-Presdent Alessandri, the latter
an exile in France.
So the chances are fair that the population OF
the immortal Robinson Crusoe's island of Juan
Fernandez is to receive an increase. This
world -famous spot is the scene of Chiles Devils
Island" whittier political prisoners banished and
already, the official communique announces several
dispositions" have been made of those arrested.
Quick work But then President Carlos Ibanez

his feet, long string of exleS bear witness
The general-he is an army man-Says Chiles situa-
ton is serious and demands drastic remedy which
he proposes to administer, regardless of how much
whom it hurts.
Ever since the postwar slump knocked the bot
tom from her nitrate trade Chile has been in hot
water. Approximately sixty per cent of her budget
airy income, or about $35O0000o year, came from
an export tax on nitrates, when this went giim-
mering, it brought a whole train of unacceptable
evils for which both Liberals and reactonaries blamed
Alessandr then in power
He ousted by military coup and sent to
Europe whence he was recalled six months later by
second military cabal which had supplanted the
first Then out he went again, and to Europe, this
time for good.
President Figueroa-Larrahl succeeded him, with
General Ibanez minister Of interior and, for all
practical purposes, vice president designate. For
little later, when Figueroa- Larran designed Ibanez
stepped in, being elected last May by vote of $4,000
out Of total of 100000 pretty significant majority
President Ibanezs way Of dealing with the opposi-
ton has aroused good deal Of criticism not only
in Chile, but elsewhere in Latin America. Critics
claim families have been separated and the men,
folks sent into exile without much as a hearing.
Or, they assert, political leaders are ordered
summarily to clear out Of the country on short
notice, to go where they please, just so they CO. A
large nu,aber said to have been sent to Crusoe-
land, far out in the tropical Pacific.
Be that it may it is clear that President Ibanez
regards the situation in Chile as one requiring a

and he intends to furnish that hand
Like reactionares everywhere, in the United
States, Europe or any other country, he doubtless
considers Bolsheviks all who seriously oppose him.
The trouble with relationships is, they never solve

lid and hold down the wants Of vast and surging
mnorities. Sooner later there's an explosion.

Brand Destroys Somebody

Representative Charles Brand, Ohio, Repub
lican (pro- Willis) arose in the House ycster-
day to destroy Herbert Hoover. The destruction
was to be accomplished by "a speech entitled
MIR. Hoover the Supreme Opponent of Agri
culture" 1t had been well-advertised and the
galleries were filed.
For ten years, said the Congressman, Hoover
had been the enemy Of the farmer. He himself
had been in the thick of the fight for the last
five years. he said, and he knew whereof he
spoke.
Representative Theodore Burton, Ohio, Re-
publican (pro-Hooyer) replied to the speech. In
the course of his reply he produced letter.
The letter read:
''You have the ideas that will put agri-
culture on its feet, and you have the confidence
of the producers Of the country Of all kinds
that would make your leadership easy. Al
though some Of my friends have suggested my
name to the President as Secretary of Agri-
culture, | am inclined to go to the President
and urge your appointment I don't know any"
one who fits the place as well as you. -
That letter was written three years ago
by Representative Charles Brand-to Herbert
Hoover.

Taking Things AS They Are

Il don't become incensed" said the secretary of
the treasury Il take things in this world as they are
and act according to my conscience"
1t had occurred to Senator Walsh that the peculiar
proposition put to Mellon in 1928 by Will H. Hays
might have irrtated Mellon, Walsh remembered that
James A. Patten, the Chicago grain gambler, had
been incensed when a similar suggestion was made
to him by Hays.
He thought apparently that what would incense
Patten surely would incense Pittsburghs leading
banker to say nothing Of Pennsylvanias richest citi-
and certainly to say nothing of the greatest Sec
rotary Of the Treasury since Alexander Hamilton"
But Mellon doesn't get tncensed. He and his con-
science take things they If the country is
trying its hardest to discover of the facts of the
Republican campaign fund scandal our Secretary of
the Treasury feels that it is nothing to get angry
excited about.
If he has information the country can use he will
tell it in his own good tme-that is after the country
finds out that he has it, and there longer is any
purpose to be served by remaining silent
1t is amiable attitude. 1t enables him to
continue content with his own share of lifes bless
ings in the midst of revelations concerning his States
politics, revelations of starvation and despair in his
coal mines, revelations of corruption striking at
the very basis of his Government.
Il don't become incenSed," said Mr.. Mellon

Worst Yet TO Come

One way has a way of leading to
another
Interest in the sudden and mys-
terious improvement Of former Sec
rotary Falls financial situation led
to the oil leases. Investigation of
the oil leases led to the trail OF
certain large blocks of Liberty
bonds; trailing these Liberty bonds
led to the discovery Of the Con-
tinental Trading Company; discov-
cry Of the Continental Trading
Company led to the exposure of
certain campaign contributions, and
exposure of these contributions led
Mr. Hays to the witness stand.
The worst of it is that the half
has not yet been told, and that the
half not yet told promises TO be the
worst half.
If the inquiry continues to be as
successful in making things I'M
comfortable for the Republican par
ty as it has been, and if as many
INSCRIPTIONS millionaires are shown
to have used the party as a cats
paw for mulcting the public, there
will be much more in the forthcom-
ing campaign than there was in the
joy-ride of 1920 and 1924.

agreed with him.
They we're calling for human and
philosophical arguments, and in

there had been more than enough
of talk which the mind could not
follow: that it was impossible to be-

the first place; and that it was
ridiculous for anyone to set forth to
others what neither he or they
could nationally conceive"
How could the adult MINDS among
the unconverted peoples Of the
world be brought over to Christ

clothed in reason? How absurd it

fought political corruption in Chicago. Before his life
ended he had joined vigorously in the fight against the
encroachments of the power interests

THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION -
Church Waits to Destroy AbeZa1d
Written for The Times bv WM Durant

A ND Anselm himself, under
IA whom Abelard had studied fol
a time at Laon, did he not heal
what his rebellious pupil thought Of
him and would later put into writ
ing:
came therefore to this old
man, who owed his name rather
to long familiarity than to his in
telligence or his memory. To
whom if any came knocking on
his door in uncertainty as to some
question, he departed more UNI
certain still.
Indeed, he was admirable in
the eyes of his hearers. but of no
account in the sight of his ques-
TONERS. His f1uency of words was
admirable. but in a sense they
were contemplate and devoid of
reason. When he kindled a fire
he filled his house with smoke,
rather than lighted it with the
blaze.
1t was only a matter of time
when the mighty guardians Of
the faith would turn against this
bright and helpless lad and de-
stroy him. They waited for their
opportunity.
Abelard was twenty-one when
Heloise was born, and she had but
come into the world when he came
to Paris to win renown; who woulc
have thought that the brilliant log
ician would lose and find his sou
in her?
During those hectic years wher
ne debated universals with William
of Champeaux, Heloise blossomeo

Her mother had belonged to the
most precious strata of the aristo-
crazy, and had been exiled from
family and funds because she hac
married the handsome young physi-
clan, Philippe. to whom her mother
had looked as a likely lover who
would redeem the monotony OF hel
own ceremonious life.

Philippe had gone to Palestine tc

MYTH Abelard the western
w European mind came to a
brilliant puberty; ScholaSticiSm
was to be its adolescence, the Renais-
sance its coming of age.
Had Abelard spoken merely these
distractions the world might never
have heard or injured him. But
he proceeded to show very con-
cretely where faith fell when it
relied on tradition and authority
rather than reason; he compiled,
in treatise which he called Sic ct
Non eyes and Mo-.
The opinions Of the church
fathers on various points of
theology and ethics; and with the
impS of deviltry in him, arranged
these opinions in opposite columns,
so that each opinion was balanced
and nullified by a contradictory
judgment of equal authority.
He made no effort to reconcile
these contradictions but left them
glaring at the reader, suggesting
all the thorny problems which
medieval doctrine concealed. Why
does evil exist in a world created
by an omnipotent ard benevolent
God?
Why did God create human be-
ings destined, in his omniscient fore
knowledge, to everlasting Hell?
These questions were raised, and left
unanswered; nothing could have
been more irritating to orthodox
minds
Inevitably, Abelard raised a swarm
Of enemies about him. His pupils
loved him; they spoke OF him as the
greatest philosopher that had ever
lived. and he was half inclined to
agree with them.
But William of Champeaux. whose
pupils deserted him, plotted secret

he not rather unmindful of what

Considering the huge sums of
money in which the Republican
party deals when it comes to flnanc-
ing primaries and elections, or paw
ing off the resultant deficit, half a
million dollars may seem Of no great
consequence.
Still, it is doubtful if the Anti
Saloon League would be so well
fixed as it is or in a position to do
so much for Senator Willis and his
kind, if Mr. Kresge had not come
across. and it is equally doubtful IL
Mrs KreSge would have been in a
position to come across, except for
his chain stores.

How is the card game, "begger-

1t is similar to "catch honoys' -
The cards are dealt face downward

up. If this be an ace the players
adversary pays him four cards; if
