Smith on Foreign Policy

One of the most disquietng aspects of the cam
paign is the evasion by both presidential candidates of
serious foreign questions facing the country
This newspaper supports Hoover, partly because
his experience and humanitarian activities abroad fit
him for wise leadership in foreign policy But in his
campaign he has not discussed such issues adequately
Sentaor Norris and others have rallied to
Smith, partly because they believe he would have
liberal foreign policy
Last night at Baltimore Smith talked a great deal
about foreign affairs without saying anything. He
did not commit himself a single concrete issue He
revealed an almost complete ignorance of the subject
timidity.
What he said in favor of peace and against en-
tangng alliances in Europe and in favor of protecting
American interests abroad and against interference
in Latin America, was meaningless, generally, as
proved by the present administration which has said
precisely the things all along.
Here are some of the definite foreign issues Of
immediate and grave Importance, as every news
paper reader knows:
Shall this government withdraw marines from
Nicaragua, Haiti and China? Shall it further reduce
war debts? Shall it revise its reservations to permit
adherence to the world court?
Shall it refuse to ratify the Kellogg anti-war pact
on the ground that foreign reservations reverse the
peace purpose of that treaty? Shall it refuse naval
limitation agreement until Great Britain grants
cruiser parity? Shall it grant demands of Filipinos
for independence Of Porto Ricans for statehood
and of Virgin Islanders for citizenship?
Shall it try to force the rejected military alliance
treaty Panama? Shall it block the Cuban effort to
end the Platt amendment protectorate? Shall It
grant Chinas demand for abolition of extra-terri-
toriaty? Shall it recognize Russia? Shall it build
sixteen naval ships seventy-six or none? Shall it
fc univ
The American people are aware that one of Smiths
chief disabilities is his complete lack of experience in
foreign affairs of any kind He can not help that
But with all his talk about frankness Smith might
at least be expected to give the voters idea of
his position two of the score of serious in
ternaona issues which would face him on his first
day in the White House
Hoover has declared himself some of those ques-
tons such as the Kellogg pact and debts His silence
on Others is bad enough, though not comparable to
Smiths.

Getting Desperate

The Leslie candidacy becomes rather desperate
AFFAIR when it becomes necessary for him to challenge
the veracity of Judge A. B. Anderson and to SEND Tor
Nor Governor Goodrich to put the label OF approval
not to say ownership, upon him.
Lacking the courage to repeat the libel upon MS
onnonent which he made at Ft. Wayne, Leslie SENDS
a state senator to the radio to repeat it.
The people now have the plain choice 1hey can
believe Leslie or they can believe Judge B. Anderson
who declared the charge to be untrue and added thaV
DALEY. the prosecutor, was at all times VigAahV'
jealous and upright"
AS for Goodrich there are citizens who Will now
look beneath the Leslie chip with even more KeenneSS
than before.
THE activities of Goodrich the state have not al
WAYS been productive Of confidence. People nave
watched and followed the disasters that mark his tral
Perhaps his speech intended to assure the boys
that he and not Senator Watson would control the
state boards in the future if Leslie is elected That
sort of contingency has little of hope for the state AS
between a Watson machine and Goodrich manlpula-
tor of public affairs the people probably will choose
neither.
The Leslie managers must have felt the need OF
oxygen when they produce Goodrich reviyer OF IN
terest.
They must be more than desperate When Vhey o"le
to imply that Judge Anderson is liar

a research which would give him revenge.
German beer known to be far superior to
French beer.
Pasteur decided that he would show the French
brewers how to excel the Germans.
And so his laboratory was turned into miniature
brewery with copper kettles and Pasteur started to
brew beer.
But the work progressed, it necessary for
Pasteur to taste the beer How else could he tell
whether the beer was any goodP
Soon great joke being circulated among the
professors and students of the Ecole Normale.
Pasteur hated beer But he had to go right on
drinking it, Some of the professors who did not share
his dislike would drop into his laboratory to help him
do the tasting.
De Kruf writes, "Pasteur did help the French beer
industry.
For that we have the testimony of the good
brewers themselves.
"It is my duty to doubt, however, the claims of
those idozerS of his who insist that he made French
beer the equal Of German beer. do not deny this
claim, but beg that it be submitted to commission
of those solemn, impartial, international COM
so often demanded to decide before all the world
whether he his detested opponents in the
right"
Pasteur was now the most-talked-of scientist of
Europe. He hermit who hid away in a
laboratory. He let the world know what he was
about And in many ways this was a good thing
For it fired the public Imagination and stirred the
people everywhere to take interest in science and
what it had to offer for mankind
Pasteur had said many times that the path to the
conquest of disease to be found through the study
of microbes.
His prediction was first brought true by the work
of an Englishman-Joseph Lister, later made Baron
Lister. Next will leave Pasteur for few days to
follow the work of this great British surgeon.

Dry Despotism

IF Governor AL Smith expected any shock OF sur
prise when he announced that the AntlSaloon League
had threatened to oppose Senator George MOTIFS u
Nebraska in all future elections because of his en-
dorsement of Smith, he will get none in Indiana.
IT is true that Norris in the past has been con-
sistent dry in his votes and personal pracCceS ana
has at all times voted to uphold the prohloitlon
amendment and the strictest of enforcement acts.
In the past the league has Endorsed him for office
II i also true that he has earned the respect of mil
lions of progressves by his attitude on public queS-
lions.
This wear. for reasons of his own, he prefers to
s,nnort the Democratic rather than the Republican
candidate.
Norris has made great contributions to this nation.
He has been sturdy in defense Of popular rights ana
against invasions of civil liberties.
These services are to be forgotten by the league
which. in advance of his Smith Endorsement served
notice that it would fight him unless ne obeyeo us
demands to stay within the Republican party
Indiana, especially, will not be surprised 1t would
expect that sort of political practices from the league
because it has often observed the same Vilns @O
home It is happening now.
No worse threat can be offered to free institutions
than the campaign of the league to defeat Chief JUS
tice David Myers of the supreme BENCH who is run
ming on the Republican ticket.
That campaign being carried on by the league IS
an open effort to control the court and to write the
decisions for the highest court.
The league has rather strong influence now with
in that court 1t can count at all times upon votes for
its views on what it wants written into law by judicial
decree rather than by constitutional methods.
Its crusade against Myers is the challenge to the
judiciary and announcement, in fact, that 1t IN
tends to punish control the judges.
The announcement by the league is that the OPP
tOfN iS ueta and
one is preferable to the chief justice who showed
courage when threats and pressure placed upon
him.
Despotism takes many forms. Creating dictator
ship in this state for the dry professionals can be
most easily accomplished by giving the dry leader
the power to control the courts.
Here is one vicious influence in government which
must be curbed if there is to remain free govern
ment or any senblance of orderly liberty

How to Provoke a War

On the eve of the death and burial of the British
plan to control the rubber market, comes the news
of similar move to dominate the worlds supply of
nickel indispensable alike in peace and war.
Next Thursday Nov. /, the Stevenson act, under
which the rubber of Ceylcn, Malaga and the British
East Indies produced and marketed, goes by the
boards But not before had cost American automo-
bile owners and other users of rubber hundreds OF
millions of dollars.
When the Stevenson act came into vigor shortly
after the World war British plantations supply
ing the world with approximately rs per cent of its
rubber Today they supply only about SIS per cent.
The act therefore has hurt rather than helped so
it officially ceases to be after Nov. 1.
Undaunted by this experience, however, Great
Britain is going after monopoly on nickel, doubt
less hoping for better luck. Says the Toronto Mail
and Empire:
canadian control of International Nickel, gained
by a spectacular battle the stock exchanges Of
Toronto Montreal and New York, is but part of
Great Britain's policy to insure world peace by dom-
mating the source Of supply of the essential i'm
plernents of war. the significant move back OF it
all was British fight for peace and the results will be
world wide"
It "a dangerous sea that Great Britain seems to
have embarked upon ITO insure world peace by
dominating the source of supply of any vital ma
terial is insurance against war whatever but rather
a provocative OF

Any Ounce Can See |

George Bernard Shaw is a.
gloomy as Dean Inge Dlsarm the
nations, he says, and men still will
bite each other. A trite sayin2
which leaves out half the turth.
The motive for disarmament
counts more than the fact. When
men arrive at a point where they
are willing to lay down their guns
why should they revert to Their
teeth?
Any Ounce knows that man car
commit murder with an ak, or even
with his bare hands. When he
consents to give up the modern in
struments of murder, however, any
Ounce should know that it is onlv
because he has lost some of his
taste for murder.
Disarmament is not so important
because it removes deadly weapons
as because it visualizes a new idea
The mere fact that we are in d
mood to talk about it shows that
we have made Roadway and that
organized peace has become a pos
sibility in the human mind.

No Money for ZepS

The Graf Zeppelin departs for
Germany with our government air
experts keeping close tabs on her
and getting all the information they
can. Every improvement she
possesses, we are told, will be util-
lied in the construction of the two
dirigibles which the Goodyear Com
pany has been authorized to con-
strict.
Meanwhile, our business men,
though curious, appear unimpressed.
DR.. Eckener came here for two
reasons, First, he wanted to prove
what the Graf Zeppelin could do.
Second, he wanted to raise money
with which to start feet of air
liners. Whether he made a success
full demonstration, he did not get
the money.
In spite of our great wealth, pros
perity and surplus cash, we appear
to have no dollars to gamble on the
dirigible If the dirigible turns out
failure, we can pat ourselves on
the back and point with pride to
our discretion. If she turns out
otherwise, we shall find it harder to
think of plausible alibi.

Reason

ID ALPH D. BLUMENFELD, editor
N of the London Express and
head Of the British journalistic mis-
sion, touring this country, says that
the League of Nations has become
utterly ineffective and has de
generated into a "germ-laden talk
ing machine" which is the most
serious unofficial admission of the
failure Of the Geneva dream yet
uttered and also is a complete con-
firmation of the prophecies of those
United States senators, whose OPP
position to the league prevented our
entrance into it.
But Blumenfeld's suggestion that
another league be formed, consist
ing of the United States, Great
Britain, Germany, France, Italy and
Japan, to keep the peace of the
world by force, does not appeal at
all
This is the very purpose Of the
present league to nail down existing
arbitrary boundary lines and hold
down restless subject peoples, going
everywhere from pole to pole to do
it.
Instead of sitting on top of the
world, Uncle Sam would become a
universal trouble man; instead of
having peace, he would have hives

Murder and Mentality

Two more college students take
the murder road to get a kick.
Campus life was too dull, the effect
of bad liquor too satisfying and the
prospect of adventure at the point
of 81 gat too alluring.
Shall we chalk up the crime as a
black mark against higher educa~
ton, or merely blame it on the
vagaries of human nature?
Not pausing to argue that point,
why did not some psychological
sharp discover what was going on
in the minds of these two youths?
We shall hear a great deal about
their mental condition from row
on. Plenty of evidence will be pro-
duced to prove that they were
queer. Relatives and friends will
be brought forward to testify as to
their peculiar actions. The court
room will ring with discourses and
explanations to prove their mental
deficiency.

to the national life and prosperity of nation will be

The Solution

IN this problem the solution lies
Il in forcing the opponents to
make a lead highly undesirable for
themselves.
South leads his club. If West
wins the trick, he must either lead
a heart, giving North and South
two tricks in that suit, or he must
lead a club or a diamond, which
allows North and South to discard
a heart in one hand, trump in the
other and then win the remaining
tricks OF course, if East takes the
opening club trick he also must lead
club or a diamond.
There is a slight variation to this
problem in that North and South
may lead one round of trumps be-
fore leading the club.

All for Fun

II seems much easier to raise
money in this country for recrea-
ton enterprises than for those of a
more serious character.
On Sunday, $4,000 people attended
the dedication ceremonies of the
new Fox Movietone studio in los
Angeles.
Not only prayers we're offered, but
addresses made in which the
growth and progress of southern
California were depicted as owing
much to the moving picture in
dustry. No one familiar with the
situation will dispute that idea. The
movies have done a lot for the
Pacific coast. They have not only
furnished employment for thou
sands, but have assisted materially
in the building of towns and the
promotion of real estate sub
divisions.
The spirit that has brought the
movie industry to its present pro-
portions is to be commended, but ii
is too bad that it could not find
more diversified expression.

A CCORDING to the best figures
n obtainable, some 43,OOO,00O
Americans have qualified as voters
in the coming election. This repre-
sents an increase of seven or eight
million over the registration of four
years ago.
Together with the shift that has
been indicated, seven or eight mil
lion new voters complicate the prob
lem. No one knows how they will
be distributed. Absence of issues
and the injection of prejudice have
smashed party lines. To an obvious
extent, the parties have changed
places. Hoover, heading the party
that is supposed to stand for CEN
tralization, comes out for less gov
eminent. Governor Smith, heading
the party that is supposed to stand
for Jeffersonian principles, comes
out for more government.

preached in such a curious way as
to leave the average citizen in doubt
He hardly can line up with either
party without compromising rmselt
in some way or other.
The result IS that in nine cases
out of ten he falls back on his ira
dition. That tradition may be domi-
"ated by the political environment
in which he grew up, by religion,
by his attitude toward liquor, or any
one of a dozen other completes.
The preposterous difference in
predictions reveals how hopelessly
confused the situation has become.
