1t Is the Only League

AM aware of many faults and
Il flaws both in the league as il
stands and as it was planned. The
Versailles treaty was a most uneasy
stanchion on which to rest a struc-
ture. But 1 still believe that the
league in the days of Wilson and
the league today offer the first op-
portunity to take a step in the
direction of international co-opera-
ton.
1 have heard many advocates of
internationalism condemn the league
and suggest that it would be better
to scrap the whole business and
start over again. With this point of
view l have no sympathy at all.
People who suggest it overlook. I
think, the enormous difficulty of the
first step. Even if it is a wabbIine
ill-directed sort of progress it an
peals to me as much better than
none at all. Through the league
and the world court there does ex-
list possibility Of mutual accord.
~NSAAv ~ lao OtEA SdlQ LflaG the
League of Nations constitutes noth-
ing more than debating society
But people who say this overlook
the vast Importance of a place and
a body where opinion may be ex-
changed.
Talk is no feeble thing, but one
OF the most effective acids against
general contagion. Even now if
Japan and China could cease firing
and begin to argue we would be
nearer a solution of present diff
culties.
The year 1917 should have taught
America that there is no part of the
world truly alien to us. Farmer bows
IN Nebraska who never had heard
OF Serbia or Austria came at last to
ole on foreign fields. This is the
TIME right Observation-Disclosures re-
solve that American neutrality shall
be OF the heart as well as of the
head.

Il All DenendS

XXTHAT is crime anyway? Is it
w something We inherited, or
that we manufacture as by-prod-
uct of progress?
There have been times and places
in which murder was not regarded
as a serious crime, and in which it
could be atoned for with a little
money, or avenged by the immediate
family.
Where will you find the time or
place, however, in which some act
was not regarded as sufficiently Of
fensive to merit death?

More LaWS-More Crimes

THERE are no irrevocable stand
L ards by which to measure crime,
much less it's treatment. We make
them as we go along. If certain
practice interferes with our moral
conceptions, religious beliefs, or eco
nomic theories, we prohibit it.
If we can make the prohibition
stick, well and good. If not, we be-
gin over again and try something
else.
Men have been wrestling with the
crime problem since the dawn of
consciousness. They never have
solved it, and they never will. One
reason is that every step forward
develops a whole new category of
rules and regulations which neces-
sarily increase crime.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ

I
of Fifty Miles, May be the
Means of SoIUing the Rid
die of the Compass.
ID OCKETS capable Of CARRYING
N scientific instruments nd to a
height of fifty miles or more above
the earth's surface may be the
means of solving many problems
now puzzling the radio engineer. the
meteorologist, the physicist, and the
astronomer.
This is the opinion Of DR. j. A.
Fleming. acting director Of the De-
partment of terrestrial magnetism
of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington.
In particular, DR.. Fleming feels
that the rockets may yield data
which will aid in the solution of the
special problem in which his labora-
tory is interested, namely, the mag
netism of the earth.
For many years now it has been
known that the earth is a huge mag
net. That. of course, is why the
compass needle points north. But
no completely satisfactory explana-
ton of why the earth is a magnet
mas been advanced as yet.
The department of terrestrial
magnetism of the Carnegie Institu-
ton of Washington is interested in
both the practical and the theoretic-
al aspects of the question.
The practical aspects grow out OF
the fact that the safety of naviga-
ton depends upon a knowledge OF
the behavior of the compass.
