OHlNcIsAJyl
GENEVA, July 14@P=The res
olutions Of the consultative commit
tee of the economic organization of
the League of Nations, asking that
organization 10 make an inquiry into
the part which economic factors play
IN causing wars, has a two-fold sig
~nificance.
In the first place, it has a def
rite relation TO all the various eco
nomic activities OF the League,
md particularly to the program of
the International Economic Con-
fC ence of 1927, in which American
delegates participated. That the
safeguarding Of peace as well as
the furthering of economic pros
lerity is an important element in
international economic agreements
has always been we'll understood.
In previous discussions at Geneva
til dangerous relation between
economic rivalSies and military con-
flicts has been recognized, but only
IL speeches and formal resolutions.
Now a positive step has been taken.
In The second place, the decision
TO inquire into the economic causes
of war has q definite relation to Mr..
kellogg's proposals for the renun-
citation of the use OF war as IN in
STR for settling international
dispItes-proposals about which all
Europe is talking and with a surprls-
ing degree of sympathy.
The relation will be clear IL il be
borne in mind that the meaning and
significance Of economic rivalries
is very different in a world resolved
TO compose its difficulties and 70 get
along in some way without making
war, from what il is in a world ner-
vously apprehensive OF war, in which
every important conflict of national
economic interests is magnified and
distorted out Of its true proportions
merely because it is seen against the
background of possible armed con-
flicts.
In the United States different sec
ti3ns Of the country have different
economic interests. Those differ
erces are just as real as the differ
ences of the economic interests Of
the different nations Of Europe. They
create political issues, but we do not
think of them as possible causes of
war. We do not deal with them diff
ferently because we think Of them
differently, but we think Of them
differently because we deal with
them differently. In short, paradox
ical as il may seem, the best way 70
get rid Of the economic causes Of war
is TO get rid Of war.
l suspect that what we call the
economic causes Of war will turn out
under scrutiny 70 be a mixture Of
economic, psychological and polical
factors. The most dangerous issues
are not necessarily those which in
volve the largest measure Of eco
nomic advantage or disadvantage,
but those which, like sea power and
colonies, come 10 be thought of as
involving international prestige.
There are dangers also in such things
as attempts to control arbitrarily the
supply Of raw materials which are
essential to the industries Of other
countries, to secure exclusive ad-
vantages in the markets or
of ~undeveloped parts Of the world, or
20 so too far in giving evtra-terri-
Eorial protection to foreign proper
ties and credits.

CHICAGO, Ill, July 12.-Seience
has all but ripped to pieces that
fairylike myth Of the alternating
toads and their twenty-year maps in
alright cornerstones.
Notwithstanding the fame of the
horned reptile that got an entree TO
the White House after it vas chip
ped out Of a cornerstone nineteen
years old, DR.. X. P. Schmidt of the
zoology department, Field Museum,
says he's inclined to doubt the au-
thenticity Of these Rep" Van Win
kles.
DR.. Schmidt has asked 10 meet the
fourth horned toad that recently
woke up to a changed world after a
nap Of several decades. This toad,
brought 10 Chicago from Arson,
Texas, where he went to sleep, 50
It's said, before airplanes or even
automobiles had become common,
was found by a member of a wreck
ing crew when a bank building Of
Arson was torn down.
Put Through Tricks
The toad, which is called "Big
Ben" 70 identify him from other rep
tiles with a penchant for sleeping in
cornerstones, has been put through
a number of tricks to show the sci
enlist just how happy he could be
without air or food. For instance,
he was put into a tmubler Of ice wa
ter and submerged with a card on
top TO keep the horny reptile under
water. He lay there, TO all appear
ances, quite happy without any air.
"Im inclined to believe, however,
that he would stay only a short time
withou air at ALL" the scientist says.
"Thre used to be a myth that toads
were found in solid rock formations,
before the cornerstone tales came to
light. The tale was found TO be un-
true. 1t was found on authentic ex-
animation that the toads had crawl
ed down through crevices until the
rock had more or less grown around
them. But there was always a
small crack Of some sort through
which ants could get in to be snap
ped up for food, and which would let
IN a certain amount Of air. Both
toads and snakes can live for long
periods without food. but I'm doubt
ful whether they could live without
air.
1T is more than likely" the sci
enlist continues, that the masons
who built the cornerstones were not
as careful as they, should have been
70 have them completely sealed up.
There may have been a crack in
each OF these cornerstones for ants
and air to creep in. While it is not
scientific TO say impossible to any
thing, ! should want better proof
than has been supplied TO show the
toads were actually in the corner
stones all that time, and that there
were no cracks in the stones"
