The savings of ten million
Americans are still tied UP in
closed banks. Business is still
far from normal. Many public
schools are still closed on q
part-time schedule. Our Navy,
instead of being equal to the
strongest, has declined in
strength to third place among
the navies of the world. Our
Army has sunk to seventeenth
place among the armies Of the
world. There are many other
domestic problems Of the ut
most urgency pending before
the Congress.
Organized Minority
Nevertheless, the Democratic
leadership Of the Senate seems
actually to be flirting with the
proposal to slam the Senate's
door in the face of all Ameri-
cans who are appealing for the
solution of home problems, in
order that the Senate may
stage an indefinite debate upon
the question whether the Amer
ican people were right or wrong
in repeatedly repudiating at
the polls every proposal that
they enter the League Of Ma
tions through the front door,
the back door or some trapdoor
yet to be disclosed.
The organized minority which
persists in plaguing the Presi-
dent and the Congress and the
press with propaganda to put
the United States into the
League Of Nations is made up,
for the most part, Of a coali-
tion of internationaliSts who
appear to be much more inter-
ested in the quarrels of the Old
World than they are in the
problems Of their own country.
The ultimate goal of these in
ternationaliStS is to get the
United States into the League.
Theodore Roosevelt, in his
last book, "Tlle Great Adven-
ture," gave description of the
internationalist which his illus
trious successor of the same
name, who is now in the White
House, would probably agree
cannot be improved upon. Said
the first President Roosevelt
on this subject:
The professional interna-
tionalist usually sneers at ma
tionalism. at patriotism and
at what we call AmericaniSrn.
He bids us forswear our love
Of country in the name of love
of the world at large. We ma
tionalists answer that he has
begun at the wrong end; we
say that. as the world now is.

Dhich are essentially foreign to

well Address.
According to a Paris dispatch,
recognition of Russia by the
allies of France, who conSti-
tute "the Little Entente" is
imminent. It is expected that
resumption of diplomatic rela-
tions between Russia and
Frances allies will be followed
by a renewed campaign, led by
France, to get the United States
into the League.
This news comes in the midst
of a new drive on this side Of
the Atlantic to lure the United
States into the League through
the back-door entrance to that
entangling political alliance
the League Court.
Every Senator coming up for
reelection is under tremendous
pressure by all sorts and con-
ditions of internationalists to
vote for the immediate ratifica-
ton of the League Court pro-
tocols.
Surprising Time
These protocols are now be-
fore the Committee on Foreign
Relations. To report them out
in the closing days of the
present session might keep
Congress in session all summer.
Certainly the debate in the
Senate over these protocols, if
they are reported from COM
mittee and brought up for final
disposition, will precipitate u
prolonged discussion.
If this debate ever starts in
the Senate, party lines will be
obliterated, national recovery
legislation will be sidetracked,
and public attention will be
diverted from domestic recovery
and focused upon "the evil
thing with a holy name," which
is the definition given by the
late Senator Knox, of Pennsyl-
vania, to the League of Ma
tions.
This seems a surprising time
for the Senate to abandon the
New Deal'' for "the Raw Deal"
that the American people would
inevitably suffer should their
Senators in Congress drag the

MARRY-GO-ROUND
By T. E. Powers

Pride gives one girl the
strength to smile valiantly when
she finds herself a wall flower
or a waShout--at a party-and
gives another girl the will-power
to stay at home all her life
rather than be a dud at party.
Pride makes one woman have
q face-lift and dye her hair
rather than admit that she's
getting along'-and another
woman encourage her hair to
go white rather than admit that
she's ASHAMED of getting
along.
Pride helps one woman to
grit her teeth and stick to her
bad bargain" rather than &C.
knowledge her marriage a fail
ure-and spurs another woman
to get a divorce, hustle for a
job and advertise her disilluSion-
ment to the world rather than
live on and SMILE through a
lifetime of mock happiness.
You can see how easy it is to
judge a man Cor a woman) by
his sense of pride; because
everybody has different inter.
probation of the word. To some
it is honor. to some it is snob-
bishneSS, to some it is vanity or
conceit or bravado.
But, in the long run, pride is
that combination of self-esteem
and cold fear which inspires
half of us to the highest and
bravest and best that is in us
and drives the other half to
yield to the weakest and pet
tiest and worst that is in us.
So, if you are looking for the
key to mans character, find

going-rasSling with dirt, and
noise, and bills, and burnt
stews, and tears, and tantrums
and, hardest of all, your own
desire to go out and take a nice
long jump in the bay.
How should I know all this?
Because I've done all this, and
the memory of it lies behind
every word I write for other
mothers. That's why I'm so
truly sorry if my words have
sounded sneering instead Of
Understandings I've seemed
to "pick on mothers"
I'm not picking on mothers,
my dears. But, with all the
pity, spunk and honest exaSpera-
ton I can muster, I AM pick
ing at the things that defeat
and humiliate mothers - the
things that waste their lives and
break their hearts.
AND BECAUSE I DO LOVE
AND UNDERSTAND MOTH
ERS, AND GENUINELY WANT
TO HELP THEM, I'M TELL
ING M-STRAIGHT-
THAT MOST OF THOSE
THINGS LIE IN THE MOTH
ERS THEMSELVES.
Mothering has always been a
cruelty hard job. The world
makes a great fuss over the
pain a mother endures in ira
vail. but that's the least of her
trouble. It's the long grill
ahead that tests a mother; the
monotonous, dulling years dur.
ing which a weary woman so
often sees her world-Sometimes
even her husband and children
slipping from her. And never
was there greater danger of
that than in these crowded,
changing times.
All of these things know,
reading their tear-stained letters
by the thousands. And what
should I do about the desperate
mothers who write those letters?
Praise and pet them? Join in
their Self-pity?
It would be so easy and so
popular to do that-BUT so
CRUEL! Would it help a be-
wildered. bungling workman to
praise, pet and pity him? Would
that save him from failure?
OF course it wouldn't. NOR
WILL IT SAVE A MOTHER!
A mother must know her job,
or she'll be penalized as surely
as any other worker. She may
not be turned out into the street,
but she'll face a crueler fate
the indifference and disreSpect
OF those she loves moSt-the
bitter loneliness Of a world in
which she has lost her place.
Her family may love her, be
grateful to her. The world may
honor her. But these things
are not enough. Mothers are
people. They need more than
love, gratitude and honor. They
want to feel that pride of per-
Sonal performance, that sense
of power which comes to all
successful workers. Lacking
that, they grow bitterly resent
full, not even knowing where
they have failed.
So I try to tell thenl-try to
tell you, Mrs. Jim. And If
sometimes I seem harsh in the
telling, it's only because my pity
for your pain drives me too
hard. Forgive me, my dear.
And love me as much as you
can. I'm rassling with some
burnt StewS myself!

Because pride is the key to a
mans character; and the only
difference between a successful
man and a racketeer is that the
first prides himself on his
achievement, and the second
prides himself on being "Slick."
The great trouble with this
world, today, is that there is so
little pride-or Shame-left in
it. And you can't have a sense
of pride, unless you are capable
of a sense of shame. Most "Mod-
ernS" seem to be ashamed of
nothing, if they can "get away
with it"
Pride is the acid-test which
brings out all the gold, all the
droSs and most of the BRASS
in human nature.
Pride DOES things to you!
It strengthens one mans back
bone-and inspires another man
to put up "a good FRONT" It
prompts one woman to take a
menial or inferior job rather
than be "dependent"- and i'm
pelS another woman to remain
chained to poverty and charity
rather than be seen in an en-
ployment agency.
It makes a "swell guy" of one
man-and a cheap snob of
another man.
It inspires one man to refuse
to marry the girl he loves and
break her heart. because he
can't afford to support her-and
impelS another man to keep his
word and marry a woman he
has ceased to love.

age African jungle. One thinks
of Haggard's prophetic imagina.
ton when we read that two
French explorers by air, Captain
Corniglion-Milinier and Andrew
Malraux, took motion pictures
to support their account of the
great capital of the Queen of
Sheba, which stands today in
marble whiteness against the
black lava of the desert of south
western Arabia.
For that very ancient capital
Of the great queen, who knew
King Solomon, was vaster than
Babylon or Nineveh. A report
to the New York Times, from
Paris, tells us that Sheba's CAPT.
tai stretches for three miles
along a ridge of volcanic rock,
with every feature distinct
from its crumbled outer wall to
its massive defense towers and
its palaces rising 80 to 100 feet
from the sands. The ancient
world hides many once splendid
cities, buried now by the drift
ing sands which converted even
the Garden of Eden into a DESC
late waste.
Towers of Marble
But Sheba's capital escaped
that blight of sand and remains
a marvel of the world. The two
Frenchmen had a view of it
from only 300 feet above the
earth, soaring and swooping
over the glistening towers of
marble, and driven to upper al
titudeS by the rifle fire of the
wild Arab tribesmen who now,
alone with the jackals and the
hyenaS, possess the amazing
ruin. And they saw enough to
know that the old, old traditions
of the queens power and riches
were hardly exaggerated, for the
city must have held a popula-
ton of at least 100000 in the
days when Arabia was a para
disc.
And it fires the imagination
to know that there still exists
the capital from which the
queen rode forth with her long
train of camels to visit King
Solomon in his capital of Jeru-
salem. Truth is ever stranger
than fiction, as timeworn as
that saying may be, and another
