WORLDWIDE AFFAIRS

Written for The Republican by Frank
P. Litschert
Despite the progress which has
been made toward the limitation of
naval armament, and despite the sig
natures to the Kellogg peace pact, it
is not to be forgotten that there are
still danger spots in Europe. These
dangers, however, are for the most
part continental and need not con-
Germ the United States so long as we
continue our present policy of avoid
ing all foreign entanglements and
commitments,
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1929-10-31

These are matters over which the
United States has no control and de-
sires no control We are interested in
peace and in the past ten years have
inaugurated nearly all of the move
ments which have looked toward per-
manent peace. The Kellogg pact and
the conferences between Ramsay
Macdonald and President Hoover are
the most recent examples. Of course
if naval limitations can be effected a
big step toward insuring peace will
have been taken But so far as the
plots and counterplots looking toward
diplomatic or military victories on the
continent are concerned, these are
things which will have to take care
of themselves so far as Uncle Sam is
concerned. From the foundation Of
the republic we have consistently
taken stand against foreign alliances
and foreign entanglements of every
kind. This is still the foreign policy
of the United States government and
there is little prospect that it will be
changed in the near future. And the
average American who reads of secret
treaties and military alliances among
the European nations, will feel that

Sometime ago it was announced in
cable dispatches from Prague that a
secret treaty binding Czechoslovakia,
Rumania and Yugoslavia, had been
revealed and that it had been per
facted at the last conference of the
nations of the so-called Little Entente
which was held at Belgrade early in
the year. The treaty, it was declared
is military and binding, and unites
into a formidable military combina-
ton the three Middle European ma
lions mentioned above with strength
of around 100000 men.

Only the other day it was announc-
ed in Paris that about 500, 900
would be spent in the next five years
on defensive Notifications" on the
French frontiers, with especial atten-
ton to the northern and eastern boun-
diaries and the Alps. Evidently France
is not wholly convinced that the pact
of Locarno and the Kellogg treaty
will eliminate war on the continent.
And perhaps the most significant fea-
ture of the defense plan is that for
the first time in modern history
France will devote nearly as much
money toward strengthening her Al
pine defenses against possible Italian
attack as her Rhine defenses which
are calculated to hold back another
attempt at a German invasion. Evil
IDENTIFY the government of Mussolini
is still causing grave misgivings in
France despite the peace treaties. AL
though great secrecy is being main
tanned as to the extent of the French
defensive works it was announced in
the French parliament in response to
a question that when our plans are
completely finished the Alps will be
safe"
OF course it may be argued that the
military pact of the three nations
mentioned above is not offensive but
defensive and designed to protect the
nations against possible invasion by
Germany or Italy. And it may also
be maintained that the French forti-
fications are purely defensive and not
designed for offensive warfare. All
of which may, Of course, be true, but
the fact remains that the preparations
mentioned will be regarded in the
United States as not altogether en-
couraging feature in the world peace
program.

CONS women. however. still continued to serve. Is the
work grew and the fight for pure milk gained free
impetus.
Then, as now. the clinic physicians and nurses did not
undertake to treat sick babies or prescribe for them, but
taught hygiene, dieting, sanitation, fresh air, sunshine
and proper baby care. They saw to it, however, that
sick babies came under the care Of doctors. Now there
are eight baby clinics, held weekly at schools in various
parts OF the city.
And what has been the result Of all this since 1918
when Muskegonis infant death rate was 1903 deaths per
1000 births?
The rate has dropped continuously and the figures for
1928. just compiled and the latest available. show a rate
Of only 592, which was a decrease OF l8 points under even
the previous year and we'll below the average for the
nation.

Editorial Comment
PROTECTING THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN
(St. Paul DispatchD

0V. raul AA0RaVNlp
Is the Minnesota prairie chicken, like the heath hen
OF Marthas Vineyard. doomed to decline? Organized
sportsmen again are petitioning Governor Christensen
to close the hunting season by proclamation. which he
has authority to do under Minnesota law. Various means
have been proposed to save the bird from what some
times seems sure extinction. Methods usually urged are
to stop hunting and to exterminate birds of prey such as
hawks and crows. This year the prairie chickens are re-
ported plentiful in some parts of the state and scarce in
others. Numbers generally are very small in comparison
with the abundance of former days.
It is true that under greatly improved protection from
hunting the prairie chicken has become more plentiful in
the past decade. But failure of the bird to propagate as
well as expected suggests the probability of other factors
contributing to its decline. Cultivation of the prairie and
destruction Of cover have caused great changes in its
environment. There is always the possibility that disease.
SO strongly suggested as the cause of widespread decima-
ton OF ruffed grouse. may be an undecided foe.
Moreover, the introduction Of alien game birds some
times upsets the balance Of nature, and perhaps in this
case has not improved the prairie chickens chances to
survive. Why do ringneck pheasants prosper, while the
native Minnesota bird has a struggle to maintain meager
numbers? %Sportsmen might answer the question wholly
IN terms Of open hunting seasons. That explanation is
inadequate. II the prairie chicken is deprived Of its
natural environment, it can not be expected to thrive.

CHARLESTON EARTHQUAKE

CHARLESTON EARTHQUAKE
On Aug. 81, 1886, a violent earth
quake, the worst in the history of the
United States at that time, did heavy
damage in Charleston, S. C.
In this catastrophe, q were killed
outright and many were fatally in
jured. Ninety per cent of the build
ings were damaged and three -fourths
Of the town was rendered unin-
habitable.
Property loss alone was estimated
at $4,000. 600, but the damage wa soon
repaired and today Charleston is the
largest city in South Carolina and an
important South Atlantic seaport.
The earthquake of 1886 was only
n of many disasters that have
caused damage in Charleston. A
hurricane and epidemic together dew
astated the town both in 1899 and
1854. The older and more thickly
populated part of the town was
burned in 174O and a hurricane did
great damage in 1852.
Charleston vas the first English
settlement in South Carolina. It was
established in 1910 and at first was
called Charles Town in honor of
Charles II.

IRONY

Observers Of world trade conditions say that American
exporters are facing the most determined opposition they
have yet encountered In foreign markets. European
industries are equipped themselves to meet American
competition as never before.
And here's how.
America, the %bountiful, is lending millions to her
European competitors. The European competitors.
equally obliging. are spending the money in America
but. for machinery more modern than that used by
American manufacturers. The natural result is that
European manufacturers have q decided advantage over
American producers In foreign markets. In brief. we
lend the Europeans American money to buy American
machinery to undersell American manufacturers.
The trouble Is, Of course. that some American indus
tries, especially the older ones. have not kept abreast
q the advance in manufacturing equipment. The manu-
1acturers Of automobiles have not hesitated to scrap
obsolete machinery. But some textile manufacturers.
especially in New England. have been content to cling
- their old equipment. American automobiles dominate
the foreign markets. American textiles are meeting the
keenest Of competition from the Central European states.
where mills have been modernized by American ma
chinefy.
Il sometimes seems that In the matter Of accommo.
dating competitors we are willing not only to hang our
solves but furnish the rope Is well.

WHY THE BRITISH PROTEST

1t has been the tendency in America to blame the
British government rather severely for its recent strenu-
Gus protest against the PREPARATIONS settlements as pro-
vided in the Young plan.
There are several important points to remember, how
ever. At previous PREPARATIONS conferences it has always
been England that has had to make the concessions
England has settled her war debts at a far higher rate
than France has. England has suffered much more from
the postwar depression than have her allies.
All In all, it is small wonder that the British have felt
moved to protest. Americans would do well to study the
situation a little before passing judgment.
