Old Horses Are Cruelty
Treated in the District
10 the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
I have Just read in The Star an
item stating that the Governor of
Maryland has set apart next week as
the official humane week in that
State.
suggest that an effort be made to
better the condition of horses, in par
ticular, in the District of Columbia.
I talked recently with a veterinary
surgeon and he seems to feel that the
police and the humane societies in
the city are falling down on the mat
ter of removing diseased and broken
down horses from the streets. A few
months ago saw man mistreating
broken-down horse near The Star
offce. A veterinary surgeon who wit
messed the pathetic spectacle said he
was going to trace the man and take
action. do not know If he found
him.
In all my travels, Washington
seems to have no regard for poor,
broken-down horses. I am informed
by veterinary that it Is the prac-
tice for peddlers to buy poor horses
and drive them on the city streets
until they die, generally of starvation.
Today I saw a half-starved horse
driven by a man trying to get up the
hill on Thirteenth, between E and
F northwest. The load was not a
heavy one for strong horse; but
this horse was too old and too far
gone to hardly haul himself around.
In any other city the police would
take this unfortunate horse OF the
street and take the driver to court.
It is puzzle to myself and many
others to know what is wrong here
in this National Capital Of ours.

tween Colombia and Peru Is an earnest
desire that before either side resorts
to extremes every possibility OF,
amicable settlement will be invoked.
1t is plain that League mediation Is
unequal to the situation. The other
Americas under the circumstances IRE
cast for the role of preserving menaced
peace. With the Bolivian-Parasuayan
wa. over the Gran Chaco about to
flame into new stage. the renewal Of
Colombian Peruvian hostilities over
Leticia would turn South America into
a cockpit which might easily embroil
the entire continent.
Pan-Americanism faces a crisis
which it cannot afford to ignore. To
date, it must be confessed, it has given
no better account of its peace-preserv-
ing capacity than the alien League Of
Nations. The hour has arrived when
it has need to demonstrate its ability
to order the affairs of the Western
Hemisphere without European inter.
ference.

New Rule of "King
Can Do No Wrong
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
In the consideration Of govern
mental laws and measures there
seems to be an unfortunate inclina-
ton to avoid the application Of the
ordinary tests Of justice, equity and
honesty which apply without question
to agreements between individuals.
This is largely due to our inheritance
of the old adage that, "The King caE
do no wrong" Accordingly We accept
without question system Of taxation
that Is characterized throughout by
robbery. extortion and consequent In
justice.
Perhaps no better illustration of
our failure to conform to exact justice
in governmental matters Is more ap-
parent at the present time than are
the suggestions Of experts to tax more
heavily incomes. gifts and inhe--
itances. 1t is even being seriously
suggested that salaries, which are
naturally fixed by supply and demand,
should be regulated by law. All of
this involves the procedure of out
and-out robbery, of applying an act
OF government which if applied by
an individual would be condemned,
not only by the Decalogue, but by
established law. AS a matter Of
course. every possible measure should
be adopted to prevent the accumula-
ton of wealth by unjust means. But
when wealth has been accumulated it
should remain the inviolable property
of the individual who possesses it.
We cannot afford to surrender our
civilization to the philosophy of Robin
Hood. AS Henry George has so well
expressed it, UNLESS its foundations
be laid in justice the social structure
cannot stand"

Advantages in World Court
Again Presented to Nation

the court and against any filibuster-
ing methods during the national
emergency that final action could be
speeded by the administration"
The statute of the World Court
was completely revised a few years
ago to remove the objections of the
supernationalists Of the United States
to our adherence to that interna-
tional tribunal of justice" recalls the
Muskegon Chronicle. Our terms
were complied with completely. And
the United States Is still outside the
court!" The Newport News Daily
Press takes the view Of the situation:
The demand that the United States
become a member of the World Court
is spreading. And Congress will have
to give the matter more attention
than it has in the past. Hundreds
of men and women, representing hun
dreds Of thousands of voters, appeared
before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee to urge ratification. And
they made out an excellent case. The
Root formula, to which the other ma
tions of the world have agreed, would
seem adequately to protect the inter-
ests of the United States"
War;" observes the New Haven
(Conn) Journal-Courier, "is an ef-
feet, not a cause; If settlement is
denied through that instrument, some
settling instrument must be devised.
Elementary progress to that end is
typifed in the World Court, adherence
to which by America is again under
debate in the Congress. Peace is in
conceivable without that step"
Despite the rise of aggressive ma
tionalism in the world" as evidenced
by Japanese militarism, Hitlerism in
Germany, revival in armaments COM
petition and similar manifestations,
all tending toward a destructive in
ternational anarchy" afirms the st.
Paul Pioneer Press, "the movement
for a sane spirit of cooperation
among the nations Is not dead nor
Is 1t destined to die. The strength
mustered by advocates of American
entry into the World Court at the
recent hearings before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee sur
prised the irreconcilable isolationists
who had thought the treaty could be
ignored, and has created a distinct
possibility of bringing the question to
vote at this session"

knows the fascination Of the gold
hunt. Edgar Allan Poe's "Gold Bug
probably stimulated many to seek
buried wealth. The traditions Of the
Spanish conquerors and looters have
caused the scraping Of the sands and
the ocean floor throughout the area
Of their activities.
There is an irresistible lure in the
thought Of q crumpled bit Of paper
on which are scrawled cryptic signs
and words, giving directions for the
location of hidden gems and coins,
the cache Of a buccaneer. And many
a one has been cheated of his savings
by such scrap, fraudulent and
worthless. There Is no end to the
variation of the theme of the secret
chart" which in some Of the more
fanciful tales is tattooed upon the
chest of q sailor.
Today treasure, hunting is more
prosaic and scientific and eficient
than in earlier times, when there
were no diving helmets, no power

PEELED the oars of small boats and

was supposed to rest. Still the ro-
nance Of the treasure hunt persists,
and regardless of the refinements Of
mechanism which may have attended
this latest search down in the SOUTH
ern seas, 1t has its glamour Of ad-
venture, certain to lure others into
distant waters and to face unknown
dangers in the hope of finding some
of the gold that was lost long ago.

against Gov. George White, whom he
defeated in 1928. only himself to 60
down in the Hoover landslide in
favor of Senator Simeon D. Fess, Re

turn the tables on Fess. Opposition
to sales tax, Truax told the House,
will be one Of the main planks in his
primary campaign against Gov.
White, whom he dubs "Sales Tax

Treasure Trove.

Somewhere down in the South Seas
treasure has been found, gold from
Peru, stolen by Spanish conquistadores
from the Incas and then stolen again
by pirates and somehow lost at sea,
or buried in the sands Of little group
of islands and eventually covered by
the waters. This happened long. long
ago, several centuries back. Now, ac-
cording to q tale that comes from
Tahiti, the gold has been located,
some twenty-five tons Of it, SO the
story runs, though just how the treas
ure has been weighed or its volume
estimated is not disclosed. The value
is placed at roundly s45 ZOO. 900. and

which has been one Of the most

in the course Of the ages. Probably
another, maybe more than one, expe-
