DRESIDENT Hoover is
L to be commended for his
message asking authority to
put an embargo on arms and
ammunition to countries en-
gagged in war. Mr.. Roose-
welt is said to favor the
same policy. This is one
way to make war difficult.
If every nation at any
time maintaining peace were
to agree to such an embargo
much would be done to
make war a more serious
problem than it now is with
nations given to the use Of
the sword.
If civilization could be
civilized enough to take the
profit out of war there
would not be so much en-
thusiasm over human slaugh.
ter.
The fact that men who
profit on the human misery
Of their fellow men are
prone to take delight in the
gains that come from it does
not necessarily mean that
these people are depraved.
1t is just as well, and much
fairer, to accept the fact
that it is only human ma
ture. We are all very much
alike.
. And anything that civili-
zation can do to make it
difficult or impossible to
make money out of war is
not aimed at those who
would otherwise profit; it is
aimed merely for the benefit
Of humanity.
There was a time when
American manufacturers of
arms and ammunition were
making enormous profits.
There was a harvest time.
But only a moron fails to
see now that because of the
war which brought these
profits, no one is making
profits now. If a great por-
tion Of the people are fight
ing against bankruptcy to-
day it is because of the war
which brought a. momentary
harvest in gain some years
ago.

With twilight the gold
changes into rosebud rose,
bright as claret.
And there is a wonderful mo-
ment. which you cannot always
catch. when the light will
stream suddenly through the
tree trunks in the great shafts
: of glory-like that glory which
streams through jeweled cathe-

fume of the flowers goes up
like altar incense. Sometimes,
at that moment, a vesper
thrush will sing-a strange,
sweet cry, over and over. as
though one singing. Sobbing,
told the rosary.
Then the moment passes,
and the bowl is filled with shad-
ows that deepen from azure
into violet, and presently, deep
in the violet, there swing the
stars.
All day the light comes and
goes across the meadow
Comes and goes like thought.
Like the mysterious passage
of many thoughts-Some dark,
some light; some blazing with
hot desire, some wistful with
dreams which have no, words.
Indeed so quiet, so set apart
is my meadow that it seems a
secret place of the mind, rather
than a plot of earth.
I have often thought, coming
down the dusty trail from my
work-coming suddenly irto this
quiet haven, that every mind
should have a gentle place like
this. where the soul may rest,
a quiet place, filled with songs,
and shafts Of glory, and peace
and open to the stars.

Sweaty trails.
Then suddenly, while their
hot rocks are still CALLING ones
heel and their dust is bitter on
the lip, one comes. upon this
lovely open space within its
wall Of trees.
It is very quiet in the little,
meadow.
The deep grass ripples gently
-silvery blue, then dark as
smoky jade.
There is clover in the grass,
and buttercups, and tan blue
iris, and, in the fan, a yellow
weed that smells like cinnamon.
Always fragrance rises from
the meadow, rises and falls in
faint tides, as though the soil
were breathing.
Butterflies flutter above the
flowers in lemon and lavender
Swarms. Sometimes they come
so thickly that they weave a
twinkling, iridescent veil.
LarkS nest in the grass, and
quail, and tiny, furry mlce.
And always there is the tinkle
and chuckle of a little stream,
and. if you listen. you can hear
drowned bells beneath the mur.
muring water.
And, quite apart from all
this, there is the light. The
light is never the same at any
two hours.
Early in the morning it lies
in fragile filaments, film Of
silver. clinging to the grass like
a wet cobweb. At noon i:

ONCE OVERS

YOuth-TOday and Yesterday
You may be among those
who complain about the daring
things done by the young
people Of the present time.
You express alarm at the
pace they are travelling and
make the most serious prophe-
cieS as to what will be their
end.
Frequently you allude to the
harmless things you did when
a young person and compare
your harmless fun with the
alarming trend Of today.
If you were honest in your
thoughts, you would admit
that the older people thought
your generation was on the
chute to HadeS.
If you will be fair, you will
realize that many Of the things
you did as a youngster were
just as shocking for those
times as the things your boys
and girls do now.
Their youth is not one bit
more flaming" than yours was
then.
You did not have the oppor-
tunitieS then that they do to-
day.

stances had been the same you
might have gotten into more

Wars Would Not
Last Long

If every nation going to
war had to raise the money
from among it's own people
without foreign loans, and
had to manufacture itself all
the arms and ammunition
needed, wars would not last
long. Which is another way
Of saying that to take the
worldwide profit out of war
discourages war.
Just now we may as we'll
determine what our own
policy is to be. A war is now
in progress between Japan
and China. It is a war for
land. There is a grave dan
ger that the Albanian situa-
tion may furnish another
spark for a conflagration in
the Balkans-where human
misery began when a worth
less Austrian prince lost his
life one tragic summer day
in 1914. The relations be-
tween France and Italy are
a menace. We are assured
that in Europe there is dire
danger Of another war-the
last war that our existing
civilization will know. For
if our civilization is in peril
because of the unbearable
burdens of the last war, of
course, another similar bur-
den added now would be
utter ruin. Everyone knows
that but some statesmen.
The false pride and ambi-
tion of Statesmen and the
greed of those expecting to
profit by converting the
blood of twenty million
youths into dividends has
just about ruined us all.

Some discouraging setbacks
in most Of your plans occurred
and so you decided it was
fruitless for you to plan any
thing?

Certainly you cannot i'm

ton unless you devise some
way to overcome your difficult
ties.
Because you feel so power.
less there is all the more rea-
son why you must stir your
brain power and do some hard
thinking.
/, You need not be grouchy or
sour because you must think
hard.
But it is foolish to quit
working out plans, even though
they cannot be carried to COM
pletion; you will be just as
well off as at present and you
might find some Of your plans
workable at last.

The Propagandists
Were at Work

There came a time in the
late war when miscalcula-
tions and blundering on the
part of German statesman
ship made it almost inevi-
table that we should enter.
But for many months, for
almost three years before
these fatal blunders, there
was a tremendous propa-
ganda in progress here to
force us into the war. Paid
propagandists were at work
constantly. There were two
elements that furnished the
backbone of this propaganda.
One was. the money lenders
who had loaned staggering
sums to the allied nations.
The German arms kept ad-
vancing. The allied armies
were nearing exhaustion.
There was every reason to
believe that they might fail.
And if they failed how
would these money-lenders
get their money back? These
wanted us to go into the
war to pull their chestnuts
out of the fire. They ex-
erted all the tremendous
power they possessed to
create a will to war here.
The other element was the
manufacturers of arms and
ammunition. They had sold
to the allied nations and
they, too, were fearful lest
they be unable to collect.
Then, with this country in,
they could make so much
more with the certainty Of
collecting.
The real story of human
greed fattening on the blood
of boys is almost too hor-
rible-so horrible that it is
tacitly agreed not to talk
about it.

Grounds for Divorce
The worst form Of mental
cruelty has recently been re-
vealed by a German author
who pleaded for a divorce in
the Berlin courts, because his
wife's openly expressed dis
approval of his writings was
''endangering that self-confi-
dence, without which an author
cannot go on writing"
In other words, she took all
the HEART out of him! She
robbed him of his self esteem,
filled him with an inferiorty
complex and paralyzed his
power to express himself. This
is meaner than pinching a SEN
sitive plant and more cruel
than pulling the wings off a
butterfly.

Nations Not Able
to Agree


The discouraging feature
of it all is that the greater
part of the nations included
in an organization for peace
have not had the "nerve"
to make use of instrumen-
talities at hand to prevent
wars. They have not been
able to agree on anything.
One of these nations, a mem
Der by the way, has defied
all the rest and is engaged
in war at this moment. The
machinery at Geneva failed.
1t did not fail because there

European Nations Have
Not Kept Faith

But that is water over tie
dam. We are paying the
penalty now. We may never
pay in full. It still is a ques-
tion whether we shall not
pay finally with the wreck
age of our political and So
cial systems.
However, we can adopt
this resolution now pending
for an embargo on arms and
try to persuade other ma
tiona to join us.
Meanwhile having washed
our hands of any response
bility for the blood-letting
now going on, we can con-
centrate on our domestic
fight against bankruptcy
and ruin at home.
The Washington times., 1933-01-16

was anything wrong with
the machinery so much as
because there has been lack
of courage and character in
those operating it. 1t is the
human feature that has
failed us.
Since war is on, and wars
are threatened, we can do
something through the pro-
posed embargo. But that
depends on whether other
nations making arms and
ammunition can be persuad-
ed to join us. There is a
danger that these will see an
opportunity to increase their
profits through slaughter if
we do not compete with
them in the sale.
Few Have
the Courage
We note that there is a
disposition in some quarters
to ascribe the proposed ac-
tion to the Latin-American
situation. There is danger
it seems of a war between
two countries in that quar-
ter.
But it is not a war in
South America that would
threaten the very fabric of
civilization-it is a war in
Europe. Everyone knows
that. But few have the
courage to admit that we
are really thinking about
Europe, not South America.
The resolution which has
been submitted should be
speedily adopted by Con-
gress. The only people in
America not in hearty ac-
cord with the idea embodied
are the very few who want
to profit financially on the
slaughter of men. These
are entitled to no considera-
tion at all.
