Bolivia and Paraguay Offer
Test of New Peace Formula

Pan-American notice to Bolivia and
Paraguay that territorial gains made
through use of arms will not be recog-
nized by other nations is viewed by
Americans as test of principle which
may be means of assuring world peace
in the future. The subject of the
South American quarrel is considered
unimportant, though it is recognized
that Bolivia needs an outlet to the sea.
Interest is added by President Hoover's
emphasis of the same principle that ap-
pears in the Pan-American case, in his
speech of acceptance.
Means for international arbitration
and adjudication are now available for
every dispute" declares the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin, with the warning that
failure to make first resort to these
means of peaceful settlement is an Of
fense against the mind of the whole
world today" The New Orleans = ines
Picayune advises that in efforts to settle
the South American quarrel those who
may be directly concerned should fol-
low through and find if that is possible,
permanent solution of this ancient
and continuously irritating problem of
Gran Chaco."
Paraguay Is noted for its intense ma
tionalism," says the Schenectady Ga
zette, "fostered, no doubt, by the fact
that probably nearly every family in
the republic lost members when the
country single-handed fought Argentina,
Brazil and Uruguay decades ago. After
that experience we can understand the
unwillingness of the Paraguayans to
yield foot of territory they believe to
be rightfully theirs. This clashing of
nationalisn with ambition is hard to
reconcile. Yet war should be prevented,
and powerful neighbors of both states
ought to be able to evolve compromise
that will protect their interests to a
reasonable degree"
X X X
"The present trouble" thinks the
Oakland Tribune, lis simply renewal
of activities which are to be expected
so long as the Gran Chaco is claimed
patriotically and Sentimentally by the
two nations. On smaller scale it is
an argument similar to that which
caused so many clashes between Chile
and Peru, a boundary war between
neighbors who become poorer each
time they decide to fight it out"

university people, who are greatly in
terested in the observation of the
eclipse, point out that much Of its
effect will be lost If artificial light
should be employed. and so they advo-
cate a full or a half holiday on August
81 so that as many people as pos sible
may watch the phenomenon.
1t is an established fact that on the
occasion of a solar eclipse chickens
actually go to roost, thinking that night
has come, as they appear to lack a
sense of time. Human beings, however
have no such impulse. but flock to the
streets in order the better to observe
the passage of the earth's shadow across
the solar disk 1t is not likely that the
authorities of Montreal or of the
Province will declare a holiday, either
full or partial. for the 3lst, for even
at the point of least illumination there
will be light enough for everybody to
see the way about and the only chance
of accident will lie in the distraction of
attention.

has been subjected TO critical analysis
upon the basis of human nature itself.
Out of it comes confidently to the
front the ordered and controlled indi-
vidualism as a component part of the
proper and necessary functioning of
the Government itself. Here is the
unalterable logic of it. Take it or
leave it.
Most of the trouble over the matter
has been that individualism has meant
one man. He is the individual So
tyranny comes. And abuses and all
the ills of one-man power. Or. the

Russian Miners Quit Their Jobs.

During the past two months, says a
dispatch from Moscow, labor trouble
has arisen in the great coal fields of the
Donetz Basin, with the result that be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 miners have
quit their jobs. As consequence pro-
duction has fallen considerably. In the
first few days of August the daily output
was $4,000 to 100000 tons, compared
with an average of 10000 tons day
i'll March The trouble is attributed to
the low wages paid and desire on the
part Of the workers for better living
conditions. Unskilled workers have re-
placed trained men who have been re-
ceiVing from seventy-five to one hun
dred rubleS a month-Which at par is
from $3.50 to $50, though very much
below those figures at the present valu
ations-while their living costs them
minimum Of flom seventy to one hun
dred and twenty rubles.
This, of course, is not strike" !"
There can theoretically be no such
thing as a strike in Russia under Soviet
control. But it is nevertheless highly
significant that thousands Of workers
have quit their allotted tasks without,
so far as is disclosed, any reprisals on
the part of the commissar organization.
If this dispatch is correct and these men
are being allowed to leave their jobs, the
all classes of workers in Russia has been
greatly relaxed. The question at once
arises whether this is the beginning of
} the end of the mobilization of energies
under the dictatorship of the proletariat
which is the government of the Soviets

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Days, Old and New.

Days. Old and New.

hearin' some one say
That politics was better in that good
old-fashioned day.
He knew of men who quarreled and
committed libel, too,
And even fought duel when they'd
nothing else to do.
Those old-time politicians had their
troubles, you will find,
II you'll pick up your hist'ry book and
call the facts to mind
Upon a soap box they would stand amid
bouquets or rocks,
Or mount the old pork barrel, II they
couldn't find box.
We might as we'll be thankful for our
pleasures while they last,
The troubles of the present may seem
slight when they are past.
The sky serenely blue succeeds the
thunder cloud so grim
Leastways, that's the opinion of my

An Eclipse Holiday Proposed.

Oficials of McGill University, at
Montreal, are now in conference with
the authorities of that city and of the
Province of Quebec regarding measures
for the protection Of public safety
during the total eclipse of the sun two
weeks from tomorrow. They point out
that as the area affected by the eclipse
will be enshrouded during the brief
period of totality with a pale light
slightly less than that Of the full moon,
the illumination Of the streets and
roads will be necessary for the safety
Of traffic. On the other hand the

simply could not see her at all. She

looked at It's list and no such name

reason for this is that the father forgot
to have the birth registered. Either
through exuberance of joy at an addi-

worries of that other historic defation
beginning in 1929. this Wattenscheid
parent neglected to inform the authori-
ties of the new arrival. His neglect
has become now the source OF much

has the double task Of proving, first
that the little girl is his daughter and
second, that she is alive. 1t Is freely
