Un- n-American and
Mischief Making

That is one Of the reasons,
presumably, why they have
been talking so enthusiastic
cally since their return to
Europe from Washington
about the part which they
allege the United States IS
now prepared to play in
helping to " tranquilize "
Europe.
M. Herriot specified that
the boycott against an at
tacking power, which we are
supposed to have decided to
support, is that provided for
in Article 16 of the League
Of Nations covenant. That
boycott or embargo is not
limited to Latin America. 1t
can be applied anywhere in
the world that the member
powers Of the League decide
it shall apply.
Under these circumstances,
it is not surprising that the
arms embargo resolution has
struck a snag in the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations.
What is surprising is tn; t
any House of Representa-
tives, Democratic or Repub-
lican, should have been stam-
peded into adopting, without
adequate examination or de-
bate, such an un-American,
dangerous and mischief-mak-
ing proposal, at a time when
there is war in Asia, war in
South America. and the
threat of war in Europe.

Queer thing for a sick human
to feel like that! Get Sick

Of you almost vanishes. You're

about the rest of the world.
You're SICK! The rest of the
world can go hang! That's
what a mired animal would
say.
And yet, I've still to meet
the first sick human that said
that-and I've seen them by
the thousands. No! Every
time, no matter how sick they
were, every one of them was
fighting to make a come back
FOR SOMEBODY ELSE'S
SAKE.
Most times it's a mother or
father, with every personal de-
sire for life pounded out of
them by pain-BUT THEY'RE
FIGHTING TO COME BACK
FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
Many a time it's a lonely
man or woman, without chick
or child-BUT THEY'VE A JOB.
SOMEBODY'S DEPENDING ON
THEM TO CARRY THAT JOB.
And so they brace themselves
against pain, and batter them
selves against their own dis
couragement and Indifference
and back they come!

Perhaps, at times like this,
the veil wears thin, and we can

At any rate, even though I

Of several proposals now
before Congress which, if
adopted, would make the
United States "a meddle-
some Matty" among nations,
the most misunderstanding, if
not the most dangerous, is
the arms embargo resolution.
By the terms Of this reso-
luton, Congress would sur
render to the President SUI
preme power to prohibit the
expectation Of arms or muni-
tions of war to any part of
the world, whenever he
thought such an embargo
would promote peace.
The resolution would give
to the President the further
power to make arrangements
with any foreign govern
ments he could prevail upon
to join with him in enforcing
such an embargo at any time,
any where.
According to John Bassett
Moore, the great American
lawyer, historian and states
man, the adoption of this
resolution would surrender
to the President the power
to do these two very danger
Gus things:
First, to make interna-
tional engagements Of the
most far-reaching kind at his
will, without the advice and
consent of the Senate" and
Second, to carry the United
States into war with any
country or group Of coun-
tries in the world, without
the prerequisite constltu-
tional declaration Of war by
Congress-"

Secretary Hull

"No gift of prophecy is re-
quired to foretell what will
follow" declares Mr.. Moore,
our greatest living authority
on international law, should
this arms embargo resolution
pass the Senate in the form
that it was adopted by the
House.
Fortunately, some Of the
Senators of the Committee
on Foreign Relations have
become convinced Of the
menace in this measure to
the United States. They will
prevent its being rushed
through the Senate without
thorough debate. Some of
the objections they have
raised against the resolution
have apparently impressed
even the Department of
State.
And Mr.. Hull, in a conf
dental letter to the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, in
sists that the power which
this resolution would confer
on the President would not
be used against Japan. 1t
is intimated that the power
is desired in order that it
may be used against Bolivia
and Paraguay, which are
now at war, or to prevent
the dispute now going on be-
tween Peru and Colombia
from developing into war.

of the Secretary of State
why he is seeking supreme
power for the President to
declare an arms embargo
against any country or group
of countries in the world if
there is no intention of using

FEDERAL HIGHWAY FUND
State TO Get $4,000, OOO-Allo-
cation Not Yet Official

Maryland's share OF the
$500, 100000 Federal highway
public construction fund will
be approximately $3,6OO,OOO, it
was learned on Monday.
ALLEGATION of the highway
fund has not yet been officially
announced, but it is understood
that when the 11a per cent. de-
duction for Federal administra-
tive expenses is made from the
total Maryland's share will be
about nine-tenths of one per
cent, and Virginia will BIZ en-
titled to $7,450,000.
These States are free TO pick
the projects on which this
money is to be expended, sub
ject, however, to the approval
of the Federal Bureau OF High
ways.
The choice of projects to be
constructed with the Federal
money rests with the State
Roads Commission, which also
has shown some concern about
the congestion on the arterial
highways leading into Balti-
more. In that quarter the
most pressing project has been
regarded as the widening of the
Philadelphia road or the con-
struction of a new fOrty-foot
highway between Baltimore
and Havre de Grace.
