granted the environment to which it originally
was adapted.
There was never any such thing as an
Aryan race. At best. there were only Aryan
languages spoken by many different races.
Germany is not inhabited solely by blond
NordicS. Half of the Germans are swarthy
round-headed Alpines or a mixture Of Al
pines and Nordics. Most humorous Of all, if
one were to exclude all nom Nordics from the
new regime in Germany. one of the first TO
get the gate would be Chancellor Adolf Hitler
himself an obvious Alpine, racially more
related to Mr.. Poincare than to Won Hnden-
berg
The eulogy Of war as a major civilizing
force in history is as unhistorical and unset
entifc as the race myth The doctrine re-
ccived its most extreme and widely publicized
Germanic statement in General Bernhardi's
Germany and the Next War" though the
same notions can be found in the writings of
eminent Frenchmen, Britishers, Americans
and Italians
In primitive times, and perhaps even in
early historic days war did serve some good
purpose in ending petty tribal quarrels and
in building up large political entities which
might preserve peace and order. But today
war is easily the chief scourge of the human
race and the main challenge to its perpetu-
alton
To eulogize war in our day is as silly as
to extoll the OK cart as means of rapid
transit.
If Hitler and his associates go the whole
way with their radicalism and militarism,
conditions will be far worse in Germany than
before the World war. AT that time racial ar
rogance had no general following in Ger
many, however much bigots and the super
patriots may have welcomed the illusion.
The kaiser numbered prominent Jews like
Herr BALM among his closest friends and
advisers. Not a person in the German Tor
eign Office in 1914 even had read General
Bernhardi's book.
Such is the penalty which Europe is pay
ing for the fifteen years of folly since the
armistice. She is reaping the whirlwind from
the lies deceits and brutalities of war propa-
ganda and the Versailles system.
1t is even greater folly and imbecility for
Hitler to insist upon trying to prove the
ententes mendacity and oppressiveness from
1918 to 1888 sound and justinable. So far, he
has been far more of an asset to Germanys
former enemies than to the cause of justice
and understanding for Germany.

CENTURY OF PROGRESS

A CAPTURED beam of light that left the
4 n star Arcturus forty years ago lighted
Chicagos second worlds fair. That began the
celebration of Americas Century of Progress. .
The big city by the lake. that plays host
to an expected fifty million visitors this sum-
mer, typifies America, its robust optimism
and its strange inadequacies. The staging of
a mighty show in the midday of adversely is
challenge to the enemy Depression. The
motif of this exposition raises the question:
What is progress?
Like Chicago this country has made amaz-
ing strides in the physical sciences; but the
lag of the social sciences is equally amazing
Machines have made ours the richest
nation of history, yet 100000 children still
work for wages, many in sweatshops that
would have shocked our ancestors Our ma
tlonal income still is fifty billions a year, yet
one-f1fth of the population lives from the
hand of charity. Our buildings sweep the
skies, yet 100000 families live in homes unfit
for humans.
Science has created the Fifty Horse
Power Farmer" Yet within few miles of
Chicago, desperate afrmers have been striking
against intolerable conditions. Inventions
enable us to export eight million bales of
cotton, yet eight million people of the cotton
belts live on wages lower than those of
European workers
A miner today can dig five tons of coal a
day, yet his home is hovel, his community
a social Undertook. The transport industries
have conquered the air, the sea and the land,
yet we build planes, submarines, and tanks to
kill men in wars and gangsters ride their
enemies to death in armored cars.
We have snatched energy from the skies
and 100000 homes listen to voices through
the air. And the Chicagoan most famous for
purveying electricity is fugitive from Justice
in Greece.
The national wealth hardly is impaired,
yet intsead of using this to provide security,
comfort and happiness for the 12o,O00,OOO we
allow it to be used by kings of finance as they
will, even to corrupt our public men.
Go to Chicago this summer, if you can,
and see the wonders that mems inventiveness
has wrought. But let us hope it will not take
another century before we can celebrate an
equal amount of economic and political
progress.

A PROPHET OF DOOM

TT is little reassuring, somehow, to read
that London business man is going about
the British isles trying to convince people that
the world is going to come to an end June IL.
These dire prophecies of doom always ap-
pear in troublous times; to hear this one is to
realize that our present difficulties eventually
will get solved just as past ones we're
This Londoner is said to be spending SIS 900
week on his self-appointed mission-he is, it
should be added, wealthy chap He has
made hundreds Of converts, many of whom
rapidly are giving away all they own to be
ready for the great day.
1t might be possible, of course, to read an
unpleasant omen into the fact that the date
this man has chosen for, the end of all things
is also the date on which the world economic
conference is to convene.
If that conference fails, the prophecy might
come uncomfortably close to fulfllment.

WOODIN RESIGNS IF

CECRETARY Of the Treasury Woodin has
- offered to resign if his presence in the
cabinet is embarrassing to the administration.
That puts it up to the President.
Every time the federal reserve makes an
unpopular decision on monetary policy.
enemies of the administration will say that
is Woodin reciprocating favors of the House
of Morgan" Whenever treasury department
policy on collection or rebates of income taxes
of the rich is questioned, enemies of the adj
ministration will say "of course, Woodin is a
Morgan beneficiary"
We do not doubt that Mr. Woodin in the
future would fulfill his official duties faith
fully, as we believe he has done since taking
office But the fact remains that his name on
the old Morgan preferred stock list, for re-
ceipt of securities at less than market value,
makes his presence at the treasury depart
ment undesirable.
Mr. Woodin's friends will have difficulty in
understanding his failure to resign promptly
and without attaching strings He has added
to the Presidents embarrassment by forcing
the President to decide publicly that he is a
liability.
That Mr.. Woodin will have to go seems
certain. The only question apparently is
whether he is to leave now or a few weeks or
months later, when the Morgan revelations
may have been forgotten In our judgment,
the Morgan revelations will not be forgotten;
their significance will grow with time. Every
day Mr.. Woodin remains will weaken the ad-
ministration.
vain effort to save Mr.. Woodins face
might wreck the administrators whole pro-
gram. The success of this program depends
on the publics confidence in the men who are
carrying it out.

LOUDERBACK LESSONS

THE people are indebted to the house of
l. representatives for bringing Judge Louder
back to trial and thereby disclosing the weak
ness of the American impeachment ma
chinery
This trial. the first of its kind in twenty

The Louderback trial took nine days of
the senate's time. 1t cost an estimated $4,000.
train load of forty-three witnesses were
brought from San Francisco. Often only
handful of senators listened to the testimony.
Representative Hatton Summers of Texas,
chief prosecutor" proposes that this clumsy,
costly procedure be modernized. He suggests
that congress adopt rules under which the
senate can send a committee of senators to
the locality affected and there sit as a quasi
judicial body in trial of an accused judge.
On this committees report, supplemented by
direct testimony if needed, the senate can act.
Furthermore, the senate should be en-
powered to Gust federal judge for unftness

The most certain sign is, of course,
the sudden eruption about the body
which is spotted and very red.
A second fairly certain sign is
the peeling of the skin after the pa
tent has recovered, but by that time
most of the danger of spread of the
disease has disappeared, unless
there remain discharges from the
nose, throat, ears or other portions
of the body.
A child who has a fever and is
also sick should be put to bed i'm
mediately. Then a physician should
watch the development of the syrnp-
toms carefully and make the final
diagnosis.
1t is primarily the duty Of the
physician to protect the child
against the secondary complications
which are exceedingly serious.
Inflammations Of the kidney,
damage to the heart, infections of
the ears and Of various portions Of
the nervous system constitute the
real menace.

with children and reeking with the
effluvia Of crowded humanity; to
be showed from your mothers arms

seems to me, rather a heavy price to
pay for transient fame.
Children thus reared, if they have
opportunities in later life, are likely
to develop into adults who have no
families of their own. The little
girl who during her infancy Tugs

A HAPPY EX-KING

LIKING FERDINAND of Bulgaria, who
~ lost his throne because he got his coun-
try into the World war on the wrong side, is
living in Nairobi East Africa, these days, and
is enjoying life hugely.
From childhood he had read books about
African explorers, and he always wanted to
go where they had gone and see the things
they had seen; but being king never left him
time for such fruitless pursuits.
Now as an ex-king, he is doing just what
he always wanted to do. He recently finished
a 3,oo0-rnile trip through the interior; pres
emily he will start out on another one.
He probably wouldn't go back to the royal
palace if all Europe begged him to.
Being a king, evidently, isn't all that it's
cracked up to be. Ferdinand apparently blesses
the day that deprived him of his crown

REAPING THE WHIRLWIND

TINE proclamations of the Hitler govern
u ment relative to education in the glories Of
war and the myths of racial superiority, fol-
lowing as they do on the heels of the anti
Semitic bigotry of the Nazi, almost make one
feel as though Hitler and his associates were
determined to make the world believe that
the charges levied against Germany after
1914 were all too true.
Racial arrogance and the worship of the
martial element in history have been the main
bulwarks of natonalism, the major bane of
the human race in modern times Nationansm
has expressed itself psychologically through
super patriotism, and economically in the form
of tariffs, Imperialism, and the struggle for
markets and raw materials
Preached and extolled by statesmen it is
actually little more than ancient herd and
tribal instinct writ large on the map of the
modern world. In its wider application today,
it has far greater power for evil than in earlier
days.
The race myth propounded by Hitler and
his followers is a combination of the errors of
Aryanism, TeutoniSm and NordiciSm. The
1uSb Was pdSSQ UPON l1lS 4ued IildI GuIOpS was
inhabited and civilized chiefly by an Ayran
branch of the white race. In its developed
form, each major European nation claimed to
be made up of the only true Aryans and,
hence, superior to its non-Ayran neighbors.
Teutonism was a further development Of
Germanic Aryanism Interestingly enough,
this eulogy of the Teutonic race was primarily
the contribution of an Englishman, Houston
Stewart Chamberlain. who married the daugh-
ter of the great German composer. Richard
Wagner
In our day, TeutoniSm merged with Nor
dicism. The latter doctrine that European
civilization was chiefly the gift of the blond
giants of Nordic blood grew, for tae most
part, out of the book of a New York lawyer,
Madison Grant. 1t was entitled THE Passing
of the Great Race" and commended to
the reading public by none other than Or.
Henry Fairfield Osborn.
This racial Interpretation of history and
national superiority is, of course, pure non
sense. AS Professor Franz Boas and others
have made amply clear, there Is no ground
for the belief in the superiority of any race.

Care May Prevent Scarlet Fever Spread

IN various parts of the country at
4 this time there are beginning to
appear cases of scarlet fever with
some virulence.
There always is some scarlet
fever, but fortunately the disease
is not spread as easily as some of
the other common infectious dis
eases.
Babies under 1 year of age sell
dom get scarlet fever, but if they
do it is especially serious for them.
AS a child grows, it seems to de-
velop a greater likelihood of catch
ing the disease up to the time when
it is grown. Then the likelihood
diminishes.
Most cases occur between the ages
Of 2 years and 10 years, and prob
ably half such children who are
exposed to the disease come down
with it.
In some instances scarlet fever is
spread by milk, but the vast ma
jority of cases are spread from one
