war debts, and elsewhere in the most unexpected
places.
The World War, we have said was one of those
things which too big and too terrible to happen
Yet it happened. And happened" is the word. 1t
could have been prevented, but wasn't
1t not the result of any gigantic provoca-
ton making war inescapable 1t grew out of dozen
situations of years standing, which European states
men allowed to drag along until what we might call
"a state of mind-a state of general public irritation
and international suspicion and hatred-caed for a
showdown. The impossible and the unthinkable be-
came the inevitable.
1t is thus possible for between Britain and
America to happen" in the same way, and to keep
on patroting the phrase that such is "unthink
able" without doing something to prevent it, is the
surest way to make it certain.
Fifty years ago, had the present situation existed
we should have had conflict. 1t British tradi-
ton to swat the head of any rival that showed above
the horizon. The sudden rise of America would have
provoked British challenge and quick to pick up
the gauntlet thus thrown down. should have found
ourselves at war. Such the nature Of the diplo
macy of those days
But the world has improved considerably since
then. At least hope it has. The question is has
our craftsmanship kept up with the times? The secret
of peace is there. If it has not, then may expect
trouble What Commander Kenworthy and a good
many others fear almost certainly will come.
Surely though we can find statesmen in America
and In Britain with sense enough to see a truth
big as a mountain at close range-that there are no
problems between the two countries which can not be
solved if a modicum of good will is used both sides;
that their interests lie in working together to make
this the most prosperous and peaebe of worlds; and
finally that war would doom not only both peoples
but white civilization entire into the bargain.
Ii we can't find such men, then we deserve to be
doomed.

That Anglo-American War

The danger of between Britain and America
is as real today it was between Britain and Ger
many back in 1905
So declares Commander Kenworthy prominent
British laborite addressing the members of his party
in convention at Birmingham England
He was taking the present British government of
Premier Stanley Baldwin to task for it's so-called
secret naval agreement with France and the impasse
between Britain and America ever naval matters in
general.
1--WE are heading straight for the same tragedy
in 1914" he warned.
Without taking Commander Kenworthy too seri-
ously-he is somewhat given to sensational speeches
it must be admitted that what he said comes too
near the truth for comfort.
War between Britain and America, of course, is
entirely possible hands-across-th oratory after
a good dinner TO the contrary Notwithstanding.
The World War about 'unthinkable' before
it burst upon u.s. war very well could be. Yet
it happened, as a good many of aware.
And so can an anglo American war happen if the
same pre-war variety OF craftsmanship is applied to
the problems now confronting the two nations.

Boiled down. Frances attitude toward war debts
appears to be that she wants Germany to pay her debt
to France-reparatons- doesn't want to pay her
own to Uncle Sam.
To put it another way, if Germany can't pay her
debt to France, then France would like to have us
pay it.
The debt situation appears to be working around
in the French mind to where France thinks we ought
to pay for the and pay her something besides
for having permitted us to help win it.

A Civic Asset

The indianapolis baseball team has demon
strated it's superiority in minor league baseball
and the championship brings fine and national
advertising to this city.
Any baseball team is civic asset. 1t helps
to give civic spirit. 1t furnishes rallying
point Of common interest.
Men who may differ in religion, politics,
taste in clothes, their preference for blondes
or the right way to enforce prohibition will
unite in cheering for the home team
1t is always we'll to have something about
which all can agree.
But to have team that came from nothing
not only to championship in its own league,
but to the championship Of the minor leagues
is worth more.
Here is something to brag about And Of
course every one will be eager to tell James
Perry what fine thing he has done for the
city and how glad they are he cut loose with
money to get enough good players to win the
pennant.
Those nice words are about all that Perry
will have this year for his money and effort
1t is rather lamentable that even in the
championship series the attendance was not
such as to give the owner any chance to recoup
his loses during the season.
1t may be that the trouble is with the loca-
ton of the park and the facilities Early in the
spring Perry tried to build really fine park,
but he received only opposition and no en-
enlargement.
One thing is very certain. Any enterprise
that ads fame and value to the city but which
is operated at constant loss to its owners will
not operate indefinitely.
Certainly Indianapolis does not want to be
a continuous object Of charity and under debt
to benefactors who spend their money to help
its good name.
Winning championships is fine business for
the city. It brings pride and applause. But
when those who bring fame and good will and
better things are limited to applause, it only
raises the question of whether indianapolis is
really worthy of championships

Hoover on Muscle Shoals

Herbert Hoover has strengthened his hold upon
liberal voters by declaring for continued Government
ownership and operation of Muscle Shoals.
Hoover's statement was made to representative of
the Scrpps-Howard newspapers following his speech
at Elzabethton, Tenn in the Muscle Shoals region
In his formal address, he had repeated his opposition
to government competition with private business as
general principle.
II do not favor any general extension of the Federal
government into the operation of business in COMPETE
ton with its citizens he said 1T not the system of
Lincoln Roosevelt It is not the American system
1t not only undermines initiative but it undermnes
State and local self-government"
But he added these significant reservations
Democracy, however, must be master in its own
house. It can assure the conservation of our gov
ernmentaly controlled natural resources in the in
terest of the people 1t has demonstrated that by the
power of regulation it prevent abuse it and
must control natural monopolies in full public interest
There are local instances where the Government
must enter the business field by-product of
great major purpose such as improvement in navga-
tion flood control scientific research or national
fense but they do not vtiate the general policy to
which should adhere"
He declared to the representative of this news
paper following his speech, that Muscle Shoals was
one of those local instances" to which he had
referred.
We believe that hundreds of thousands of voters in
communities exploited through unjust electric rates
by the private power interests will welcome this
nouncement by the who probably will be the next
President And farmers who have carried the long
fight for retention of this potential source
of cheap fertilizer, will welcome Hoover's help.
But regardless of its campaign consequences,
Hoovers statement will have wide effect. For Muscle
Shoals long since has become the very spearhead and
symbol of the peoples drive against predatory prac-
tees and aims of the power interests

All Lose in Strike

The New Bedford Textile strike
has been settled. A local paper de-
5cribes this as a victory for the COM
munity, not for either side. That is
wrong, Of course. 1t is a defeat for
the community and both sides.
Everybody concerned has lost, and
not all they will.
The workers acceptance Of a 5
per cent wage cut, where they waS@.-
ed no wage cut at all, and the oper-
ators' acceptance of it, where they
wanted a 10 per cent wage cut, justly
may be described as a compromise
but it does not repair ths damage.
New Bedford has dropped some
thing like $15,000,O00 and six months
time which can never be replaced.
Worse than that, she has dropped
her position in the textile market
which can not be regained immedi-
ately.
The common assumption with re-
gard to strikes is that they cost
nothing, except the loss of so much
time, wages and profit, and that
when the strike is over business can
be resumed as usual.
That may be true with regard to
a monopoly such as the telephone or
street car. 1t is not true with regard
to any competing enterprise.

The M. e. Church, South

The Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. South, has decreed by resolution that
pulpits are not to be used for political purposes.
With Mrs. Mabel Walker Wilebrandt eXhorting
the churches to enter the campaign on the side of
Herbert Hoover, and with various church leaders
throughout the country actively fighting Smith and
enisting church organization against him, this action
is distinctly refreshing.
The conference adopted this resolution
"In view of the present infamed condition of the
country, growing out of the pending political cam
pagn we deem it both wise and expedient to exclude
from our conference and from our pupits the dis
cussion of these phases of the aforesaid campaign
that legitmately may be considered as the commttal
of the church to party political issue
"And instruct that the Board of Temperance
and Social Service present to the conference clear
cut declaration of historical position on tenn
perance and other social problems, that doubt
may be raised as to our stand in these matters"

Times Readers Voice Vices

Coolidge, all former Governors, by
the way, and American trained,
seem to have done very we'll as
chief executives. Mr.. Taft had more
foreign political experience than all
these gentlemen put together, yet
his own party repudiated his adj
ministration in a most decisive
manner.
Regarding senatorial experience:
The late President Harding's ad-
ministration resulted so disastrous
ly that even Mr.. Hoover, a cabinet
member in that administration, so
far has failed to as much as men
ton Warren G. Harding or his con-
tribution to American history.
On the other hand he has been
very generous in his praise Of Presi-
dent Coolidge-an Ex-Governor.
Then again, if Senators rate so
highly as presidential timber, why
didn't the Republicans avail them
selves Of Mr.. Curtis as standard
bearer?
Returning to the question of
availability as between Mr.. Hoover
and Mr.. Smith: 1t strikes me as
being a rather difficult task to con-
vince the average American citizen
that a man who has spent the
major portion of his life abroad is
fitted better to serve the republic
as President than one who has
spent his life, both public and
private, right at home among his
fellow citizens in a strictly Amer
lean atmosphere.
