tion of Buddah and the owner
of all the land.
Tradition provides that the
successor to the late Lama shall
be a child selected from among
those born at the time he died
and into whose body his spirit
is supposed to have passed.
A report from India last
week had it that the child
had been found, but a denial
followed to the effect that no
choice would be made until
next year. In the meantime,
exiled in China is the Pan
chem Lama, driven out Of
Tibet by the recently deceased
ruler. There is talk of his 60
ing back.
Devil worship is practiced in
Tibet and the gods of the
land are many. Weird and
fantastic stories are told OF
the powers of the priests and
the Lama, and one of them
within the past few months
had its origin in the Tibet.
1t had to do with the re-
moval of DR.. Alexander Can
non from his post in the Lon.
don Mental Hospital because
of his writings on the Tibet
which contained the assertion
that he had seen a Grand
Lama restore to life a man
who had been dead for seven
years.
Aside from the supernatural
there is a story which is &C
cepted generally about Tibet
and which concerns an enor-
nous gold field in the heart
of the country. The discovery
is said to have been made by
a young native who had been
sent to England, where he
studied engineering.
Locating the gold mines, he
began to work them when a
priest ordered him to restore
what metal he had taken up
and to cease operations. An
appeal to the Grand Lama
was in vain, for that person
age upheld the priest and
forbade the disturbing Of the
earth gods.
One of the last acts of the
last Grand Lama was to in
form England that there should
be no more attempts to con-
quer Mount Everest. His re-
luctant consent had been OBJ
tanned in the past for official
expeditions and for the air
plane trip of the Marquis of
Clydesdale. However, the most
recent attempt was followed by
the worst summer that Tibet
has known and the only thing
to which that could be at
tributed was that the gods had
been displeased by the noun
tain climbers.

Beauty" said Prof. Dubs, be-

The death of the intrepid Eng.

Everest, the disaster to a Ger
man expedition on the neigh
boring peak Of Manga Parat,
and the reports from India
about a successor to the Dalai
Lama make Tibet place Of cur
rent world interest.
Here is a country and people
apart, 100000 nomads in a do
main of 100000 square miles,
about twice the size of Texas.
For centuries it was a land ur-
known to the outside world,
save for the visits of q few dar'
ing explorers and missionaries.
A British military mission did
get through to the Forbidden
City of Lhasa in 1904, and con-
quering Chinese army a few
years later. But the English left
as did the Chinese, and Tibet to-
day, save for a telegraph line to
India, remains remote, inacces-
sible and impenetrable.
Recently, DR.. Walter Koelz, OF
the University of Michigan, Wis"
tied Tibet alone and spent some
time among its people, whom he
found to be one of the most
cheerful and most religious of
the. races which inhabit the
globe. Harsh words, ostentation
and envy are unknown to them.

Whatever satisfies you, is beau
tiful. That's letting down the
bars bit, Dubs old boy, isn't it?
'True happiness, continued
Prof. Dubs on the same date,
thereby cleaning up the whole
question at one sitting, "is the
state in which a person has a
continued stream of many salts
factions with few dissatisfac-
tions, usually because he has
many desires but has eliminated
all desires except those that
can result in many more salts
factions than dissatisfactions."
At any rate, you get the idea
that "satisfactions" have some
thing. to do with Happiness,
which can hardly come as a
surprise to the older members
of the class.
The catch in Prof. Dubs'
definition is, that the way to
be really happy is to eliminate
all those desires which you
can't have fulfilled. Then you
are sitting pretty, with every
thing that you want. I wish I
had known that in 1881.
I am surprised that these
little gems of philosophy didn't
get more publicity at the time.

SENATOR KNOX "
of Pennsylvania declared to be
intolerable and certain to lead
to future wars in Europe.
These two main objections
objection to entangling this
country in the League of Ma
tions and objection to imposing
upon this country the task OF
helping to enforce the Versailles
treaty-were persisted in by
one-third of the membership Of
the Senate and that kept the
United States out of the mire
of European politics.
What is happening in Europe
today-wi1at has been happen
ing there ever since the end of
the great war-goeS to prove
the wisdom of that militant
minority of the Senate which
rejected the Versailles treaty.
Until it is revised wars and
rumors will continue to plague
Europe.
If the United States were in
the League today Europe would
be telling us how many troops
to mobilize and how many naval
vessels to hold in readiness for
service in European waters.
Europe would be making up
her mind who should police Aus
tria and how many American
troops might be required for that
purpose. All of the decisions re-
garding the future map of Eu-
rope would be made in Europe.
The contribution of America
would be money and men to
help carry out these decisions.

Our Foreign Policy Saved Us
By James T. Williams, Jr.

build up our Army and Navy, by
way of convincing the foreign
world that it would be wise to
respect our rights. Before Presi.
dent Roosevelt leaves the White
House, provided Congress appro-
pirates the money, our Navy will
be equal to the strongest in
every class of combatant ship.
Air Corps Starved
But our Army has declined
until in combat strength it is
about equal to that of Greece.
And our Air Corps has been
starved by Congress until it is
third in rank, where our naval
air force is easily first and in
commercial aviation we lead the
world.
Building UP the Navy, build
ing up the Army-by doing both
we shall keep ourselves on that
defensive posture" commended
by the Father of His Country.
This is not a policy of isola-
ton. It is a policy of insulation
against foreign quarrels that do
not concern us.
This traditional foreign policy
an American patriot recently de-
Tended with an eloquence sell
dom heard in either house Of
Congress these days.
In concluding his argument
before the Committee on Foreign
Relations against the ratifica-
ton of the League Court Pro-
tocols Hon. j. Reuben Clark of
Utah, who carried forward with
such success the great work Of
the late Dwight w. Morrow as
Ambassador to Mexico, said:
Along with every lover of
his country, I have a vision Of
the glory Of America. For near
ly a century and a half we have
stood for a rule of law as against
force among nations. In our
days of infancy, we braved the
wrath of the great powers by
refraining from entangling al
lance and judging, when the
moment for action came, on
which side we deemed right and
justice to lie. We have main
tained that isolation of judg-
ment, to the blessing of the
world, during our whole exist
ence; it has brought us in in
ternational affairs an influence
for good which is stranger to
that power which mixes in the
petty quarrels of his neighbors.
ITO keep unfettered our de-
cisions, to be free always, here
after as heretofore, to cast our
lot where justice and right are
to be found, to be in truth and
in fact the friend of the weak
and the scourge of the op-
pressor, to continue ever to
promote, by precept and by
example, the peaceful adjust
ment of international disputes,
to champion the cause of peace
and be the enemy of war, to
preserve for our own citizens
their freedom and liberties and
to proclaim to the peoples of
the world the great constitu-
tional principles, immunities
and guarantees under which
we live, to be in international
righteousness-'the light of the
world, the city that is set on
a hill'-this seems to me to
be the end and purpose of our
national life, the glory of
America.
ITO these and for these every
citizen must, when the need
comes, give his all, even life
itself"
This is the answer of true
American to the sneers of the
internationalists who seek to
weaken us at home and en-
tangle us abroad.

Americans, as they read the bad
