WORLD CRIPPED BY WAR FEAR
NECLECTS BUSINESS; SUFFERING
AND WANT ARE DUE TO TERROR

tempt to limit armaments then will
be made by the fifty or sixty leading
powers Of the earth and the predic-
ton is freely made that that con-
ference will tell the tale. Failure
means war.
If America, therefore, ever in
tends TO assume that leadership
which by common consent belongs
to her by virtue Of her paramount
position in wealth, power and III
ternational influence, she must act
within the next twelve months.
Otherwise it may be too late.
What can America do?
First prove her sincerity, when
she talks of advancing the cause
OF peace, by joining the world
court, now several years overdue.
Second, make the Kellogg pact a
really effective instrument to out
law war and curb outlaw states.
Third, lay before the nations Of
the world concrete plan for world
stability, security and arms hmita-
ton in which the United States it.
self can and will participate.
outlaw Warning States
Specifically, the plan might set
forth:
l. That in event of a threatened
war, the United States and other
Kellogg pact signatories would con-
suit on preventive measures.
2. That a nation proceeding to
war in deliberate violation of the
pact be declared an outlaw state.
3. That an outlaw state be boy
cotted by the other powers party
to the pact.
4. That signatories formally bind
not to aid an outlaw
state.
5. That a nation deliberately vio-
lated this pledge itself be declared
outlaw.
Boycott Could Be Used
6. That. if necessary, the boycott
be enforced by the regional group
most affected-European powers to
supervise the boycott in Europe, far
eastern powers in the Orient, the
American states in the Americas,
and so on.
7. That, based upon the new feel
ing of security which such an un-
derstanding would inevitably in
spire, a general conference proceed
to reduce and limit all classes of
armament-land, sea and air.
8. That twelve months after rati-
hcation of both the security and
arms limitation agreements, the in
terested parties proceed to scale
down their reparations and war
debts by IS per cent-providing no
Of the pact had taken
place.
9. That every five years thereafter
Of unbroken peace. reparations and
war debts be scaled down another
25 per cent until the fifteenth year,
after which all such payments would
cease.
Would Stay Free
Under some such plan, the United
States would retain its position out
side the League of Nations, if SO
desired; keep clear of foreign en-
and preserve it's ira
policy of no American
in Europe and no Euro
pean meddling in the Americas.
1t would clarity the world situa-
ton as nothing else would 1t
would Danish the terrible uncer-
tainty which now is Gripping trade,
paralyzing industry, and prevent
ing recovery from the universal
depression.
American business would be the
first to benefit. The major forces
Of our depression originate abroad,
says President Hoover, who adds
that the profound truth is that our
own progress, prosperity and peace
are interlocked with the progress,
and peace of all human
lty."

Senpps-HoHard Foreign Editor

The rumble Of another world
conflict is growing louder every day
and, If war comes, it will be good
by better times and good-by civili-
cation!
Conservative and responsible Of
fcials of the foremost governments
Of Europe and America, in their
dismay, are putting reUlcence asIoe
to voice this plain-spoken warning.
British Foreign Minister Arthur
Henderson declares that unless the
leading powers act together to head
1t of, a cataclysm will come upon
the world which will engulf us all.
The danger is due to national,
racial and economic antagonisms.
to fears, jealousies and hatreds
marking back 0 long time. 1t is
due to resentments growing out Of
the World war settlements. 1t is
due to determination Of Germany's
stubborn millions TO free themselves
from what they regard as an allied
yoke.
1t is due to the boundless ambi-
tions Of the most powerful figure
since Napoleon, the theatrical but
undoubtedly able and hypnotic
Mussolini, who believes himself a
reincarnated Caesar destined by the
gods to carve out a new Roman
empire.
Scared Stiff by Russia
1t is due to strongly nationalist
Poland, a dismembered Austria,
mutilated Hungary, a menaced
Yugo-Slavia and a precariously
situated France.
1t is due TO Europe scared stiff
by titanic, new, and undecipher-
able Russia, headed toward nobody
knows what. 1t is due to an erupt-
tng Asia, where a billion people
ene-half of the inhabitants of the
globe-are clamoring for a place in
the sun.
1t is due to vast armies of unem-
ployed and hordes of hungry people
who can't quite see daylight ahead.
1t is due to science outstripping
statesmanShip-to the rapid ad-
vance in methods of production
while the buying power of three
quarters of the earths population
stands still. 1t is due to a surplus
of goods and dearth of foreign
markets due to arbitrary tariff walls
and other barriers to trade.
DictatOrs Cause Strife
1t is due to the burden of excess
ermaments and to back breaking
taxes levied to pay for wars past or
TO come. 1t is due to the age-old
habit of relationships, which, when
menaced at home, seek to divert at
tepCion by adventures abroad.
Fear, says President Hoover, is the
most dangerous of all international
emotions, and today, thanks to
avoidable follies, the world unmis-
takably is in the grip of fear. Relief
from it is imperative if world
serenity, security, and general pros
perity are to return.
This fear is not the result of any
sudden, unexpected world develop
ment On the contrary, it has been
coming on for years while a stricken
Europe begged a hale and mighty
United States to help organize to
ward it off-a plea which, to date,
has fallen on indifferent ears.
Every American President since
Wilson has talked of taking effec-
tive part in some practicable plan
to maintain the peace of the
world, if only to insure our own
prosperity. But none has done very
l1n11ch about It

Every Doctor Should Write and
Lecture.

A physician who has a rather large
number Of diabetes patients gives two
lectures a week to his patients. He
invites all his patients to attend these
lectures free Of charge. He does not
invite others than his own patients to
attend. nor does he announce the lee
lures to the public in any way, or even
permit any announcement or news"
about them to be published. The pa
tients find the lectures very practical
and helpful. The doctor simply tells
them the things every good physician
must and should tell his diabetes pa
tient BY doing it in this way the
doctor is able 10 teach his patients
much more effectively than he can
when he tries To give the lessons indi-
vidually or to one patient at a time.
The lectures include much good advice
about preparing food, taking insulin,
how 20 manage insulin reactions. and
the various special matters of hygiene
which are of so much Importance in
the diabetic patients way OF living.
Every doctor 1 suspect, would like to
write medical or health stuff for the
public. Every doctor should. or at least
he should for his own patrons There
can be no possible objection to this on
the score Of ethics or professional pro-
priety On the contrary. the code OF
principles of medical ethics specifically
states that it is the duty of the physi-
clan to instruct the public about mat
tiers of health.
