Soul Beauty Stressed
As Humanity's Need

To the Editor of The Star:
/ read with much interest In The
Star of Monday, July is, under
PHILOSOPHERS, by Glenn Frank" what
he had to say about beauty in outward
things and the Importance of fostering
taste for it among all the people
could not help thinking, however,
after I had finished the article. of
another kind of beauty-soul beauty
beauty of character. / thought of
Plato's~ prayer, God, make me beau
tiful within" and of the closing lines
of Whittier's Andrew Rykman's
Prayer" ending in the lines:
Make my mortal dreams come true
With the work fain would do;
Clothe with life the weak intent,
Let me be the think meant.
Let me find in Thy employ
Peace that dearer Is than Joy;
Out of self to love be led
And to heaven acclimated.
Until all things sweet and good
Seem my natural habitude."
There came to my mind also words
from poem by Mrs. A. B. Welby adj
dressed to young girl:
Thou art not beautiful--yet thy young
face
Makes up in sweetness what 1t lacks
in grace.
Thou art not beautiful-yet thy blue
eyes
Steal DER the soul like sunshine DER
the skies;
And heaven, that gave to thee each
mental grace,
Has stampd the angel in thy sweet
young face"
1t Is the kind of beauty that Plato,
Whittier and Mrs. Welby had in
mind-beauty of character, beauty OF
soul-that I could most fervently wish
that there was greater concern about,
greater desire for. on the part of all
the people. There is reason to believe
that there Is no great or general desire
on the part of many to increase that
kind OF beauty in our homes and IN
the various communities.
1t is we'll enough to have beautiful
homes, beautiful churches, beautiful
public buildings and parks and streets.
But it is infinitely more important that
the men, women and children who are
to live in these houses. worship in these
churches, walk these streets and play
in these parks be beautiful of soluble
true, just, pure, lovely and of good
report.
We are not concerned enough about
this. higher beauty, this inward state
of the soul, to which I am calling
attention and without which no amount
of outward material beauty will be able
to make us what we ought to be to
truly elevate and ennoble our civiliZa-
ton.
A crusade in the interest Of beauti-
flying the soul of man is what is greatly
needed. Whatever can be done to
beautify our material environment, let
it be done: but don't let us forget that
there is higher beauty. without which
the other things. whatever they may
be, will ultimately count but for little.

A Peaceful Minded" World.

Secretary keltO&g toIu the NouLCil
on Foreign Relations in New York that
his multilateral treaties for outlawry Of
war are not going to usher in the mil
lenniunl They afford no certain
guaranty" he added. against those
conflicts which have periodically broken
out between nations since the dawn OF
history" But. Mr.. kellogg anlplifed,
"there must be. in addition TO treaties,
an aroused public conscience against
the utter horror and frightfulness of
war" And then, in passage that
epiton1izes the whole underlying Signifi-
canoe Of the pactS. the Secretary of
State said. The peoples of the world
must enjoy a peaceful mind" 1t IS
that mind" which the Kellogg diplo-
macy has sought to put into contractual
form.
Therein lies the overwhelming i'm
portance of the multilateral agreements
into which the United States. and, at
its invitation. fourteen other nations
are about to join. The treaties do not
abolish war They do not make war
impossible. They do not absolutely for
bid war But they categorically CON
denim recourse to war for the solution
OF international controversies"
The Kellogg treaties. in other words,
are 8 practical step in the direction OF
making statesmen and peoples think
in terms of Cancellation instead Of In
terms Of force. They seek to snbsti-
tute a peace psychology for war
psychology. They pretend to do no
more. They emphatically do no less.
Their authors have erected new mile
post along the high road to a warless
world. That goal is manifestly afar of,
but the Kellogg agreements bring 1t
measurably nearer.
Americans do well clearly to bear in
mind that the Kellogg treaties, in ef-
feet. "renounce war" exclusively as an
aggressive instrument of national
policy" The treaties do not Danish the
use Of armed force By the United States
or any other power as measure Of
self-defense. The Monroe Doctrine is
an American self-defersive policy. Our
Army and Navy would be employed un-
hesitatingIy 70 maintain 1t. The Euez
Canal is British self-defensive policy.
The empires military power would be
invoked without stint to keep "the road
TO India" inyiolate. Frances Rhine
front. should Locarno prove unavailing,
would be defended by the republics
Iegions as they defended verdun, out
hwry-of-war treaties to the contrary
notwithstanding Japan would fling her
great war machine like thunderbolt
against q Russia. that sought the con-
quest of Manchuria. Nippon would be
fighting In self-defense.
Conscious Of such contingencies, con-
cretely left untouched by the Kellogg
treaties, the United States. 1t is to be
hoped. win not permit itself to be
luIled into any unwaFranted and dan
eerous sleep Of pactfism. The need for
adequate preparedness on land, on sea
and in the air is not minimized by the
multilateral pacts. They do not abb
solve the American people from the
duty Of remaining on what George
Washington, in the farewell address,
quantity termed "a respectable defen-
siye posture"

To the Editor OF The Star;
When the intense heat causes the
closing for the afternoon of many Fed
eral departments, where the employees
are under shelter and where. in most
cases. their discomfort Is mitigated by
electric fans. 1t seems little short of
homicidal to keep men at work on the
streets under the blistering sun.

however desirable Is expedition in conf

In the tropics, where the natives may
be supposed to be aeclimated to ex-
treme heat. work Is eustomarily
suspended through the hottest part of
the day. Common humanity dictates
that when torrid weather visits WASH

to exercise like prudence.
