Dawes and Macdonald Speeches
Herald New Era of Diplomacy

A new era in British and American
relations and In world diplomacy is
forecast with evident satisfaction by the
American press in discussing the recent
speeches by Ambassador Dawes and
Premier Macdonald, which are accepted
as the beginning of negotiations for
naval limitation.
The nations are invited to join in
new rivalry---a race to disarm," says
the Omaha World Herald. Ihe oid
naval rivalry, in which one nation built
battleships and cruisers and submarines,
unit for unit, against another S @each in
a mad attempt to outStrip the rest, was
one of the factors, we now know. that
led to the World War. The
best omen for future peace Is the fact
that statesmen are now actively work.
ing for it and aggresslveiy seeking TO
do away with the causes of war. This
may yet prove to be the beginning OF an
international era of good feeling, when
warfare will have become as impossible
between nations as dueling Is between
friends"
"It seems almost too good to be true,
but there are signs OF new era In
diplomacy and international under
standing" declares the Flint Daily
Journal, while the Seattle Daily Times
thinks that these two addresses gave

England and America are committed to
the policy of limiting the strength Of

IAN the world, we are confident"
says the Great Falls Tribune, will flnd
much to commend in the simultaneous
addresses of Ambassador Dawes and
Prime Minister Macdonald; and the
Hoover 'yardstick idea should. and we
believe It will, catch and hold the in

with the two nations standing close
together in friendship and united in
international policy" in the opinion of
the Charleston Evening Post. much
will have been done to insure world
peace in the coming generation. If
President Hoover and Premier Mac
Donald can meet and agree on for
mula for naval policy, they will have
done a great work, not only for their
large" The Dallas Journal states.
"The friendly warmth of the words that
were spoken and the sound suggestions
for a workable approach to- the naval
problem point unerringly to . new
ground of understanding, which the two
nations can attain and hold as exam
pies to the peace-desirirg world"
Ambassador Dawes historic first
speech" is the theme of the st. Paul
Pioneer Press, as it declares that the
utterance, "tc'-en with Premier Mac
Donald's simultaneous and cordial ex-
pressions on the same subject, definitely
launches the1project for world naval

SHOOTING STARS.

Egoism.
A lack of knowledge makes us brave,
As lives their ways pursue,
And any task seems easy, save
The one you ought to do.
If I a Millionaire could be
I'd make the world content
And yet it oft seems hard for me
Even to pay the rent.
I'm sure I could write essays wise
If but had the time;
And poems that would claim prize
In blank verse or in rhyme.
Whatever the achievements are,
I feel a sense of pride.
I'm sure I'd have done better far
If had only tried.
Therefore, I find frequent thrill,
I think, while pulses throb,
OF how much better I could fill
Another fellows job!

School Prohibition
'sPropaganda'' Is Hit

To the Editor OF The Star:
have read with amazement OF
the latest move in the prohibition
problem Are the citizens of this
country to believe, after reading of this
latest move by the dry forces, that the
schools are to be made political play
ground? Are our children to be forced
into an attitude of war by a con-
troversial Congress? Why should they,
perforce, be arrayed against each other
because their elders cannot agree?
There is no normal place in the
school curriculum for wet or a dry
question. For law enforcement-yes
There is no controversy there, and
every child should be taught to respect
the laws of his country.
AS a citizen and a taxpayer I pro-
test against the use of the schools for
political propaganda of any kind.

America and the Young Plan.

Made by Americans, as it mainly was,
the Young plan. it now appears, is to
be effectuated and administered with
out any semblance of official American
participation. Yesterdays announce
ment by Secretary Stimson seems to
leave no doubt on that score. Following
within twenty-four hours of the visit
which Messrs. Young, Morgan, Lamont
Perkins paid at the White House,
announcement assumes special sig
ce.
four American reparations COM
.oners. laurel-crowned after their
r mt activities in Paris, are under
.5od to have been particularly anxious
fcr the representation of the Federal
Reserve system on the directorate of
the new international bank. The bank
created by the Young plan is to be
the pivot around which all of Ger
many's payments and their transfer to
her European creditors will revolve.
Secretary Stimson reahirms that the
United States will not take part in the
collection of reparations, nor is the
Federal Reserve to contribute directors
to the international bank. President
Hoover, whose influence, it goes without
saying, was paramount in this decision,
thus adheres to the policy steadfastly
maintained by two preceding admins
trations, viz, that reparations are ex-
clusively the business of Germany and
the allied governments. As to the in
ternational bank, Col. Stimson points
out that the Federal Reserve system,
being so closely bound to the Govern
ment, will not be permitted to name
directors, because inevitably they would
constitute at least semi-oficial Ameri-
can participation in the international
institutions operations.
All this puts the record straight. But
the fact remains that the United States
is already indissolubly linked with the
whole broad question Of reparations.
Senator Borah, commenting on Secre-
tary Stimson's statement, makes tacit
recognition Of that circumstance. Con-
gress, the Senate foreign relations chair
man predicts. viii not object to the
Young plan. It will, on the contrary,
"show an entire willingness" Mr.. Borah
thinks, ito sanction considerable sacri-
fees in order to contribute to the eco
nornic stability which the reparations
settlement Is expected to establish"
The Idahoan, In saying that, speaks
with the voice Of the statesman. When
Senator Borah mentions economic sta
bility," he envisions the world that in
ciudes the United States. In these days
of interlocking commercial and financial
interests, we can no more expect to
isolate ourselves from the factors max
ing for world economic stability than
We can hope to escape the rays of the
sun which shines down upon the rest Of
mankind.
The extent Of the Sacrifices" the
American people will sanction to bring
about this stability is another question.
II there should be an attempt to float
huge bond issue in the United States
money market-thus transferring the
reparations burden from the shoulders
OF German taxpayers to those of Amer
lean nvestors-that would be horse

might not be too easy to trade at Wash

the Premier of Japan that his country
is ready to support any measure look
ing to further reduction of armaments,
that it wants peace and lessened expend-
iture for war purposes" Is taken up by
the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette with the
conclusion that "the promptness with
which Japan has declared its position
should have great effect in enlisting
the cooperation of other nations" On
this point the Providence Journal says:
"The unanimity of favorable opinion
in all the leading countries of Europe
helps TO pave the way to ultimate ac-
complishment of the purpose of Presi-
dent Hoover, as indeed Of Prime Min
lister Macdonald. 1t is en-
couraging to know that the general
diplomatic and public atmosphere of
full successful conclusion of the naval
ar1naments issue"
THE three great obstacles to peace in
Europe" in the opinion of the Louis
vile Courier-Journal, ARE reparations
armament and minorities. The first
two have been settled or are being set
tied by frankness and directness.- The
same methods have not been applied to
the last, yet these methods are perhaps
the alternative to possible future war;
In this connection the Courier journal
cites conditions in the former Austro-
Hungarian Empire. in Alsace. in the
Saar and other parts of Europe as set
forth recently by Mr.. Macdonald.
The Macdonald peace program, con.
trasted with the spirit Of a former
decade. when the demand was for q
war to end war;" Is analyzed by the
Newark Evening News with the general
conclusion that the purpose is to make
friends, not enemies" and that the
chief points of difference between Great
Britain and the United States relate to
Russia and the League of Nations. The
News continues: mo part of this pro-
gram is self-working. Every detail calls
for study and earnest effort. FumbiinR
and mistakes. bitches and perhaps tenn
porary deadlocks will be encountered.
Still, 1t Is q program headed in the
right direction. The world is in infi-
nitely better shape to anticipate the
possibility OF misunderstanding, and
even war and to forestall them"
