One of the most difficult hurdles
for the internationalists to make in
their efforts to induce the United
States to take more active part in
international affairs by joining the
League of Nations or some of the
other agencies designed to embroil
the United States in the affairs of
Europe, or to erect super-govern-
ment to NEEDLE with our interna-
tional policies, is the advice on for
eign affairs given in President
Washington's farewell address to the
people of the United States. And this
advice, it is to be remembered, was
supported by the expressed views of
the other founders of the nation
and the early patriots.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
(By Frank P. Litschert)

] AoJ II rAAh L LllSGuSILJ
To note the steady drift in the
sentiment of the American people
against foreign entanglements in our
international policies nothing is
more significant than the official
declarations of the two great politi-
cal parties. Both of the platforms
in 1928 declared against foreign en-
tanglements. In view of past his
tory, the most significant change,
perhaps, is that in the official Dem
Ocratic declaration. It will be re-
membered that back in 1920 the
Democrats, officially, were for the
League of Nations, and advocated
adherence to the League in the cam
paign. While the Republicans did
not do this, there were number of
leaders who were regarded at the
time as friendly to the League and
who were not heartily in favor of
making our independence from the
League the paramount issue. After
the election there was no question
as to where the American people
stood. Ten years have passed and
public sentiment has become much
more firmly fixed against foreign en-
tanglements. The League issue and
the World Court issue are no longer
partisan questions.
It is interesting to note therefore
the Democratic party's declaration
on foreign policy in the last nation
al platform. While criticizing the
policy of the Republican admins
tration, as was natural, the Demo-
Gratis declared for "outlawry of war
and an adherence of militarism,
conquest and imperialism" freedom
from entangling political alliances
with foreign nations; "non-inter-
ference with the elections or intern
al political affairs of any foreign
nation; in favor Of international
agreements for the reduction of
world armaments; in support of the
Monroe Doctrine as cardinal prin-
ciple of this government" In the
matter of foreign cooperation the
platform recommends: full, free
and open cooperation with all other |
nations for the promotion of peace |
throughout the world"
It will be noted that there is no
direct mention of the League of Ma
tions or the World Court. There is |
no direct mention of either of these |
two institutions in the Republican |
platform except for the following |
"The Republican party |
maintains the traditional American
policy of non-interferenee in the po-
Iitical AFFAIRS of other nations, This
has definitely refused
in the Leag ue of Ma
tions and to assume any obligation
under the covenant of the League.
In this we stand"
Truly, it may be said, times, have
since 1920. The old issues
are changing, too, not only in our
foreign policies but in economic. af-
fairs. The tariff as a political issue
IS changing. The opponents of pro-
lection have altered their methods,
and assaults are being devised in
lew directions. The tariff is no
onger the partisan issue that it
,nce was. Neither is the problem of
keeping Uncle Sam out of foreign
,ntanglements.

The price Of silver is at its lowest
point in history. Now would be a
good time to have all your clouds re-
lined.
Milford chronicle., 1930-05-23

All sorts of arguments are used to
get around this advice of George
Washington. The most common ex-
preston of the internationalists is
I that times have changed since the
day of George Washington, that we
are no longer weak, but rich and
powerful nation. This is undOubted-
ly true, but it is to be remembered
that other nations have grown
strong, too, and our strength and
resources are only an additional
temptation to involve us in those
political affairs of the world which
are no direct concern of ours. An
other argument, and one which is
even thinner, is that the develop
ment. of the railroad, the telegraph,
the fast steamship and the radio
have changed human nature to such
an extent that political and racial
antipathies have gone out of date,
or are rapidly being abandOTr d, and
that we can therefore join "super-
government" with perfect safety
and satisfaction to ourselves.
This of course, is absurd. The
nations of Europe are today as ma
tionalistic as ever before. This is
even true. of communist Russia
where the people are fed up with
stories of how the capitalist ma
tions are about to destroy them, and
are taught that the Russian idea
must sometime conquer the world.
The nations of Europe have been
fighting for trade and territory for
centuries and the invention of the
telegraph and the steamboat have
not changed conditions. They have
only. made. the various nations more
efficient and better able to fight not
only with arms of war but with that
more ifsidious weapon, propagan
da.
Milford chronicle., 1930-05-23

No man ever exposed himself to
trouble without getting more than
he expected.
Milford chronicle., 1930-05-23

Therefore with nations more ac-
cessible than they were century or
two ago, and with the propaganda
machines in the different countries
working with an efficiency little
dreamed of a generation ago, and all
designed to break down the nation
alist policies Of the United States,
Americans have more cause than
ever to take seriously the farewell
address of George Washington. AS
a correspondent in the New York
Hera1d-Tribune said recently:
"The need for following Washing
toms. advice against political en-
tanglement abroad Is much greater
today than in his time. What with
ali the modern facilities for propa-
ganda for framing" a situation and
suddenly stampeding whole popula-
tions, then involving them quickly
by means of lot of international
automatic self-starting political ma
chinery, never before has it been so
clearly to our interests to stand
clear, independent and neutral, re-
serving to ourselves our disinterest-
ed and unentangled political judg-
ment at moments of great crises"

 A supper was served by the men. and it was on a par with the good old fashioned baked bean suppers that all Methodist church gave 40 or 50 years ago.

REMOVING THE TONSILS

Why docs q doctor sometimes ad- wise the removal of tonSils? This is a question that often pcrplcXcs the lay person.
 Assuming that everything in the body has it's proper function and contributes to the health and Wcll- being of the body, it seems illogical to surgicaIly or otherwise interfere with natures schemes.
 Logical as this premise is, there is still another logic that justltics the doctors recommendations. Per hapS this logic could best he dcmon- atrated through an analogy.
 Imagine that you arc commander of a fort on the front lines facing the enemy, and arc using this fort 10 defend yourself against invasion. Imagine, further, that the odds are against you and that Tn time you feel yourself obliged to give up the fort and 10 take up q new point Of defense further back.
 Would you, as you rctrcatcu, cave the fort behind intact, allow ng It 10 tail into the hands or the 'ncmy and to bc used against you, )r would you, with some regret, no Noubt, but with superior strategy. destroy the fort? Common sense 9ould prompt you 10 destroy it.
 So, too, with the tonsils. In fact. the tonsils are like forts defending the body against invasion by bac- ter.a. As long as they arc healthy, there is no occasion for their re- movtl.
 SomctiiH"s, however the enemy. the ct,r'a, gain an upper hand and instead of serving IS a dctr nd- in: mechanism, tho tonsils become Cilronically diseased and iAc seat oi infection.
 Under such conditions, their rad ical treatment or removal is Hd Niscd.
