WORLD CRISIS
IS RATIONAL.
SAYS VISITOR
McGregor Tells St. James
Club Upheavals Will
Build Character

DR.. Daniel A. McGregor, secre-
tary of the department of educa-
ton for the Episcopal church IN
the United States, was the speak
err for the July session OF the
Mems club of st. James Eplsco-
pal church Tuesday evening
when club members were guests
of H. H. Ewbank, president. OF
the club at his home on Sixth
avenue west.
/ DR.. McGregor had been invited
to discuss the theme God in the
Present Crisis" continuing the
series of discussions before the
club at this time. Dean Mes of
the New Orleans cathedral, who
with DR.. McGregor is among the
leaders at the current adult con-
ference at Kanuga Lake was also
a visitor and he and others en-
tered into the discussion that fol-
lowed DR.. McGregor's exposition
of the theme for the evening.
! Rev. Rufus Morgan was intro
| duced, and explained the present
conferences in progress at Ka-
lnuga, stating that it was hoped
the local people would take part
in the current programs for lay
men which open this weekend.
| Declaring that he would pass
over lightly the fact that the
world had suffered a crisis, in
which it experienced the great
war, the industrial depression and
now the subsequent period of So
Gil unrest. DR.. McGregor stated
| that these facts tend to contra
dict an assumption that is basic
with reference to the social life
of the world. We have seen, he
said in substance, a growth to-
ward greater wealth and inven-
ton and growth in other fields
of human activity and we have
believed through these observa-
tons that life was a continued
growth towards peace, harmony,
Intelligence and wealth. People
have believed that the measure
of time was the measure of prog
ress. and, unconsciously, our be-
lief also has been that progress
was inevitable.
The speaker pointed to the
writer's on Utopias, referring to
Moore, Bellamy and. contempor-
aneously, to H. G. Wells. These,
| he said, have all shown US Tito
pias in their writings and their
assumption was that if the course
of progress being made was main
tanned its resolution was to be in
human achievement of satlsfac-
ton and of comfort.
1t was maintained that people
look to peace as goal because
| it is more comfortable, and that
the American view of life is that
it is a process toward this goal
of reace. But we see that life
has its troubles, the speaker con-
tinued. Wars come. We are not
as quick to realize our hope as
we believed we would be. We
talk of the times that do not lead
as onward toward our goal as
being irrational times. They are
looked upon as interruptions IN
the process of life advancement
Such an Interpretation is only
true to a narrower vision.
The view of life as constant
progression is not true. 1t is true
of the 10th century, but is it true

California and Robert M. La Toilette
of Wisconsin. For Cutting ran this
year against an administration backed
Democrat, Representative Chavez,
while the light of the presidential
countenance was allowed to shine upon
johnson and La Toilette. johnson not
only received the blessing Of Chairman
Farley of the Democratic National
Committee, but the Democratic as well
as the Republican nomination for Sen
ator in the primaries. La Toilette won
with a Progressive party Of his own.
Wisconsin Democrats had committed
the indiscretion of nominating Gala
han, conservative Democrat with AL
Smith leanings. That made it difficult
for the administration to back the
party candidate Fundamentally.
Cuttings victory is all the more re-
markable because he was opposed by
Republican conservatives along with a
well-organized Democratic party. After
his nomination former Representative
Simms and Mrs. Simms, who before
her marriage was Mrs. Ruth Hanna
Mccormick, announced their support
of Chavez. They did not regard Mr..
Cutting as a Republican. Senate
Leader Robinson of Arkansas went
into New Mexico to help Chavez, who
enjoyed, likewise, the support of
Chairman Farley and Senator James
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois.
Yet Cutting won. So none of the
Republican progressive group suffered
casualties in the recent elections, al
though the Republican old guardsmen
were shot down right and left.
Mr.. Cutting has been in sympathy
with much of the New Deal. He
fought the Presidents economy act,
however, and what it proposed to do
to the veterans. He engaged in a
filibuster and was otherwise irritat-
ingly antagonistic to the administra-
ton on the subject of veterans COM
pensation on more occasions than
one. Now that he has survived, he
may return to the Senate inclined
to be more belligerent if occasion
rises, and join Senator Borah, who
already is unleashing some uncom-

administration forces will make it
their duty and pleasure to seek his

Germany cast in the traditional

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

This column has been much pleased
with the reception given the recent
article on the German police dog.
Letters from Washington and near
by suburbs, Baltimore and other places
revealed anew the enthusiasm which
exists for this animal.
Also they showed that most persons
recognize the necessity for a we'll
trained dog, not only that the breed
may stand well with the public, but
that the creature itself may be salts
faction to its owner.
Too often dogs are blamed for the
indifference or plain ignorance of
owners. But the public in general well
understands the need for care of pets,
including adequate training.
Perhaps 1t is fortunate for the
modern city dweller that the vast
majority Of dogs Of all breeds are de-
cent fellows.
1t is only the exceptional dog which
annoys strangers in the public high
ways. 1t may safely be said that g.
999 out Of every 10000 dogs mind their
business very well.
X y +
Many dog lovers have never thought
about the position which these ami
mails occupy in the geological scale.
The accepted geological name is
CAMS familiaris. The better modern
opinion is that all dogs are descended
from the common wolf, and that the
police dog comes nearest to the an
cestral type. The English call the
German police or shepherd dog "the
Alsatian."
1t is said that these dogs are not
so popular in our great West as black
Belgian sheep dogs, which are never
mistaken for coyotes and shot, as some
police dogs have been.
Dogs are domesticated varieties of
the geological genus CAMS, of which
the wolf and jackal are wild species.
They are great deal nearer to
wolves than domestic cats are to lions,
even in varieties which reveal the
most startling changes from the an
cestral type.
The selection Of a dog is not some
thing to be done by chance, but re-
AdAi GO WV aAotAAASS obCPo, IL OllC ID
to make an intelligent choice.
The first of these is to familiarize
ones self with the various breeds as
much as is possible both by perusal of
books and magazines and by contact
with the various animals.
There are great many more kinds
of dogs than the average person sus-
poets. One of these less well known
breeds may offer a human being the
very sort he wants.
This familiarization is necessary
on the part of all except those doggy
people who by instinct seem to know
'em all.
The second step is to be sure you
get good specimen Of the chosen
breed.
While a high price does not neces-
sarily make good dog, most often
it does.
Two dogs to watch out for are the
specimen priced too low. and a gift
dog.
While typical dog men sometimes
are fooled, they have a sort of in
stinct in picking bad dogs from good
ones in a litter.
If some one offers you police dog,
for instance, at price which in
vestigation reveals is very low, be
suspicious that some one smarter
than you has already detected faults
in the animal.
1t may have eyes too close together,
giving it mean look which will be
borne out by subsequent actions.
Evening star., 1934-11-14

Its facial expression may lack the
fine, open countenance which marks
the well bred, and usually high priced
specimen.
Beware, also, of the person who
wants to give you dog.
Often enough, and with the best
will in the world, such a person is
merely getting rid, in an easy and
satisfactory way-to him-of q dog
which he does not like.
Naturally enough the person who
accepts such an animal is not going
to ask too pointedly about its far,ts
and surely the donor is not going
to say, Nov, this Is a mean devil
that can't do anything with, so ]
am giving him to you to wrestle
with"
One reason for becoming familiar
with all dogs through studying good
photographs of them Is that such
acquaintance reveals what a good
specimen ought to be, not only in the
individual breeds, but in dogs in gen.
eral.
There Is, marvelously enough, a
sweet look. a grave, dignified look, in
the face Of good dog, whatever its
breed.
How these animals ever acquired
this expression, one of the marvels
OF Nature, must remain a mystery.
They have never known how to
read. or write; they have no con-
ception Of ethics or morals, in our
sense, except as reflections from us /;
they even are denied the benefits of
future life. Yet despite these lacks
they often have faces which rival the
kindly countenances of our own best
specimens.
Indeed, at times one fancies he
may see a real resemblance in q
human being to some breed of dog,
not in any sense as derogatory, but
as complimentary, so fine and up
standing is the animal
Many eminent men have somehow
resembled a high-bred chow, and he
who might be said to resemble the
famous police dog. Strongheart, needs
feel himself praised.
4 4
A study of photographs Of cham
pions will reveal to the average dog
lover the plain fact that he does not,
after all, really know much about the
breeds.
A liking for some one kind is not
knowledge, in any sense.
We all know what we like" but
that does not mean that we may be
acquainted with the best in dogdom.
Indeed, a study Of the pictures in
some such standard and inexpensive
little volume as The Book Of Dogs, "
by Lawson, often reveals to a reader
that he is more familiar with COM
monplace and scrub specimens than
with really good ones.
Let 1t be affirmed, again and again,
that poor specimen, from the stand
point Of the shows and judges, may
be very nice dog, regardless.
Thousands Of persons own dogs
which by no means would win any
prizes, and are very well satisfied with
them. Still, If these animals were
put into the ring alongside cham
pions, they would be seen at once
to be something less than perfect.
Many. Of them are so far OF that
the really perfect specimens look
wrong to the person acquainted only
with the former sorts.
Careful study, then, Of the best
types, especially as to facial express
sions, will give every dog lover, even
the experienced, q new perspective
and a new ability at telling q good
dog from q bad or indifferent speci-
men.

Approach of Saar Plebiscite
Arouses World Apprehension

All the world watches with appre-
hension as the date of the Saar plebis-
cite nears. In January the people OF
the disputed region will decide by
popular vote whether to join France
or Germany, or to remain under the
League of Nations, which under the
peace treaty has had control in the
postwar period.
In any event, the situation will be
packed with political dynamite over q
long period Of time, in the opinion OF
the st. Paul Pioneer Press, which
gives its explanation Of the problem
THE danger to peace in this situation
is probably something less spectacular
than any attempted seizure. The Ger
man character Of the Saar is not dis
puted and was not at the Peace Con-
ference. It was detached from Ger
many because of the destruction Of
French coal mines by the German
armies. In compensation the French
were given the Saar coal mines. Eco
nomically, the arrangement was
logical because Of the close connection
between Saar coal and the iron OF
Lorraine, which went to France
Politically the region was put under
the League of Nations, with provision
for q plebiscite after Is years. This
election will be held next January to
determine whether the people Of the
Saar wish to stay as they are, or to
60 back to Germany or to join France.
Assuming that Germany wins, 1t still
remains necessary to pay the French
for the mines when the transfer takes
place. Remembering the fate Of
reparations, France will not be easily
satisfied on this point. France is
likely to demand that sovereignty not
change until q price agreement has
been reached on the value of the
mines and the last franc paid over"
the Asbury Park Evening Press
French experts contended that II
would take at least 10 years to repair
the damage inflicted on the mines
in the north Of France, while English
and American experts held that s
years would give ample time. French
opinion prevailed in that duration OF
the temporary regime in the Saar
Basin was fixed at Is years, but pro-
dtction In the mines of Northern
France was actually brought back tc
pre-war levels by 1925. The sugges-
ton has accordingly been advanced
on behalf Of Germany that the mines
should be restored to her without any
payment, France simply to be given
favorable treatment in regard to fl,-
ture coal deliveries under the treaty
clause providing for satisfaction OF
her industrial and domestic needs
That France win sccede to any such
proposal Is not at all likely"

With Christmas in the air:

The candles and the chimes,
Let's take a brief vacation
And talk about old times.
Let's have a little meeting

With stories worth repeating

Forgetful of depression
Or treacheries or crimes,
Let's hold little session
And talk about old times.

Foot ball is a sincerely admired

trying to assemble a mob on the
theory that it involves some great

Anglo-American Solidarity.

American discussion of the London
naval conversations has for the most
part been confined to tons and guns,
ship categories and ratios. Little
has been said about the broad in
ternational considerations involved,
especially Anglo-American relations,
and how these would be affected if
Japanese insistence upon equality
should result in disrupting limitation
agreements and precipitating renewed
naval competition.
1t has remained for respected
statesman of the British Empire,
General Jan Christian Smuts, former
premier of South Africa, to arouse
public interest in the purely Anglo
American phase of the deadlock
which has come about. Speaking in
London on Monday, General Smuts
affirmed that if Britain has to make
choice, "the United States should
be the company with which we
should prefer to walk and march
to the unknown future. On that
path lie our past Affiliations, our
moral outlook and our hopes and
fears for the future of our common
civilization
The South African statesman fa-
vors "friendliness and large human
good will toward Japan, but, fore
seeing conflict some day between
western civilization and the i'm
mense human masses of the East"
he has no hesitation in calling for
the closest possible cooperation
among the English-speaking peoples.
General Smuts' views assume impor-
tance because they coincide with a
labored attempt by Prime Minister
Macdonald to explain away deep
seated impression that the British
government has been negotiating with
Japan for separate understanding
conciliatory to Japanese equality
claims, in return for Japanese con-
cessions to British trade. In Amer
lean quarters at London the suspicion
has arisen that British policy is tend
ing toward surrender of the 5-5-3
ratio principle, to which the United
States tenaciously adheres.
That General Smuts' plea for Anglo
American solidarity has not fallen
on deaf ears is evident from the
columns of the London Times, which
regrets that an address so perspica-
cious, SO wise and so imaginative
should not have come from the lips
of member of our own cabinet" 3"
From its Washington correspondent
the Times simultaneously publishes a
significant dispatch reporting that
President Roosevelt would be pro-
foundly disturbed If possible failure
of the naval negotiations should en-
danger the preservation and demon
stration of the essential underlying
unity Of British and American inter-
est and purpose"
1t becomes increasingly patent that
firm joint action by Great Britain and
the United States is needed to save the
treaty structures erected at Washing
ton in 1922 and at London in 1890.
Japan's principal chance of revising
the ratio basis in her favor, or abolish
ing it, lies in Anglo-American dis
cord. In the interest of naval hmita-
ton and their common welfare in
the Far East, it is desirable that the
English-speaking peoples stand to-
gether at London and allow no minor
considerations to divert them from
that purpose.
