DANGER FROM WITHIN

MUSsOLINI can't take it. He ordered his
W. delegates to walk out of the League of
Nations Council room at Geneva when the
Ethiopian representative arose to speak. He
has not withdrawn from the League yet-he
merely refuses to hear a statement Of the other
side of the case.
II was all right as long as his spokesman
were astounding the League meeting with his
bedtime fantasy Of the big. bad Ethiopian lamb.
But the Fascist terrorist was too sensitive to
listen to some Of the truth from his prospective
victim
What has al this to 90 with us here in
the United States? Nothing-and everything.
This IS Just the kind of thing which arouses
the resentment of American citizens. We are
an emotional lot. Our sympathes go out
quickly TO the underdog - especially if the
underdog is far away. Our missionary complex
is very strong We would still like to save
the world for our kind Of democracy, or civih-
zation, or whatever the patriotic word Of the
moment happens to be.
Because We are so deadly in earnest about
superiority and our mission. We often lose our
heads when our hearts are touched. That. of
course is precisely how We sold the last World
War to ourselves.
Wei, NuSSolni seems determined 10 be
another Kaiser. Already that is stirring
American resentment. Before US is the same
vista Of American emotional debauch. which
can so quickly destroy our real neutrality That
is the danger.
Let US Keep our minds clear and fixed on
the sober fact. This fact is that the world is
too big for US TO run it. that We can not save
Ethiopia or the League. thu: any kind Of in
reference by US will leave US open to war and
disaster.

lead the rest of the world to be-
lieve that the United States will
fight under no circumstances"
Many leaders in America dur
ing the last war were convinced
that if the United States had not
wasted her energy in trying to
maintain her neutrality and had
thrown her lot early with the al
lies the World War would never
have approached the magnitude
that it finally did.
BY forming united front with
England and France we could
avoid the possibility of another
World War by stopping Musso-
lini now! Use embargoes against
him and furnish Ethiopia with all
the materials of war that she
needs. Mussolini, I am sure, would
be forced to give up his African
venture.
Under the present neutrality
law the United States can not
sanction Italy by offering war
materials to her enemy, Ethiopia.
There are many who will Shud-
der at the thought of our taking
an active part in the present so
potentially dangerous situation on
both the continent of Europe and
Africa.
If we don't jump in now and
take sides in the Italian aggression
on Ethiopia with the view to pre-
venting the inevitable war between
these two nations we can not help
eventually getting ourselves into
another world war that must re-
suit from any Italian Ethiopian
conflict.
Let's try to look it all straight
In the face.
Let's don't muddle until we have
allowed the rest of the world to
become embroiled in a war that
must eventually drag us in.

PLEADS FOR RETURN OF
JOBLESS TO WORK
By Unemploved

BY Unemployed
have been reading the Message
Center and would like for you to
publish this in regard to the men
who we're laid off at the Big Four
shops in Beech Grove in July, 1884
got laid off and have a family
of seven children. I'm still out of
work. I notice the men out there
have worked six days a week all last
winter. Still those men when you
meet them are c~ying hard times
and tell you they are not making
any money, but when pay day
comes, they can afford to lay off
work.
There are Others working there
whose wives are holding jobs up
town.
1t looks to me that work should
be divided up and give some of it, at
least 10 days a month, to those who
got laid off. We are not hogs but
believe in living and let live.
We don't want tc grab all the
work. We would be satisfied with
part time. We could live and not
grumble all the time like those men
who are getting full time
We are trying to buy our homes
and are just at the point of losing
them because We can not keep up
our payments.
I would like to hear from some
one who knew whether we men
would ever get our jobs back again
at Beech Grove shops.
Those men who have worked
pretty steady for more than a year
why not lay them of nowAand call
us men back who are living on re-
lief for so long that We feel We are
entitled to square meal same as
they are.
Some of those old men who are
working now have farms and plenty
Of money and squawk every time
they get a day of and just such
men as these who are trying to
grab up every dollar has made the
country what it is today.
We can not get on this relief
work. When you go and see aobut
it, they look and talk to you like
you were wild animals. If you ask
for relief for your children, they
inquire from the time your great

The Book World

because most capsule knowledge turns out
- to be a fake the experienced reader looks
with doubtful eye on any one-volume compen-
dunn Of all things Except for the Bible, the die
tionary and the World Almanac, the one volume
best able to hurdle that prejudice of the wary
is the Columbia Encyclopedia, which the Column
ba University Press will release to the public on
Oct II. Ut will sell for $780, or SIS by pre-
publication order to your bookstore).
We have not found it superior to the reputa-
bic larger encyclopedias, as claimed by some OF
its enthusiastic friends. But it is far superior to
anything the Book World has seen in that field
approaching its size or price.
OF course, it can hardly be called a capsule
it weighs nine pounds, in which are crowded 1000
pages on about $1,000 subjects. Dr. Clarke E.
Ansley, the or-in-chief, has labored with his
many assistants for eight years.
Thanks to small but clear type, thin paper
and tabloid editing, this volume is able to cover
most, if not ALL of the important subjects
handled by its 20-voume competitors.
A an example of the space given
n Theodore Roosevelt gets almost two
columns Herbert Hoover less than one and a
half, Benito Mussolini one column, Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler each trifle less than
a column, while the ancient Httites rate two
thirds of a column compared with half column
each for Josef Stain, George Bernard Shaw and
j. P. Morgan.
a separate short article but the New Deal is
scattered through the Franklin Roosevelt and
other articles. The Rooseveltian biography ends
in this manner:
Although both houses remained Democratic
by large jority, definite split away from
the New Deal policies developed within the DEM
ocratic ranks as in the nation at large"
On the subject Of nationalism versus inter
nationalism, after sressing the war and dictator
ship evils of extreme nationalsm it concludes:
yet the forces working for internationalsn
continue to operate and, even in an increasingly
nationalistic world there remain many hopeful
advocates Of international cooperation and
union"
A $ in the case of all encyclopedias, it is posi-
"A to show that some important subjects have
been sighted Here for instance there is no
separate article on the United States Supreme
Court. The subject of unemployment is dis
missed in 120 words-about the same space as
given to Nauvoo, Ill, city of 966 population.
This volume also has the common fault Of
all the large American and British encyclopedias
in seeing world history and knowledge too much
in Western rather than partly Oriental terms,
and in American-British rather than partly
Germanic and Latin terms.
Perhaps that kind of nationalistic cultured
distortion is inevitable when most of the con-
tributors are of one culture and nationality writ
ing for readers of the same
But in the fairness this work is to be judged
in relation to similar works available. 1t appears
to be much more authoritative and comprehen-
sve than any small encyclopedia The American
public is indebted to the Columbia Press and the
editorial staff for this achievement.

right to choose for itself the form

That was written in 1916. Even
then Thomas Jefferson recognized
the eventual need of changes in the
Constitution.
Does not Article v of the Con-
stitution itself legalize such changes?
Do the President and his adj
visers wish to discard the Consti-
tuition? No, they merely wish to

animals from blocking the road
there must be rules and regulat lions
by which men rumble along into the
distance. So far it has been agreed
that interest and taxes Il got them
backward must be paid by corpor-
ations, or else there is no corpora
ton. Since there has been so much
"holler" about government relief it
might be good thing to amend the
traffic rules.
How would it do to require that
corporations pay a subsistence wage
to all employees so long as the cor
porationS are allowed to exist;
whenever they can not manage to
pay bare subsistence wages they he
required to dissolve? This would
be added to taxes and interest as
touchstones of solvency. The clouds
of dust are bound to choke a fell
lows throat, so maybe a little more
dust created by this new regulation
wouldn't make much difference.

By Times Reader
The mandatory neutrality bill
rushed through the last few hours
of the session of Congress is sup
posed to keep us out of war, at
least immunize us until Feb. l.,
when the restrictions against ship
ping arms, munitions and ma
terials of war will become discre-
tionary with the President.
If there would be a chance that
such restrictions in shipping war
supplies to belligerentS could be
useful it should be at the discre-
ton of the chief executive and
not made mandatory by law.
The refusal of America under
statutory law to sell munitions or
supplies to any nation at war is
not neutrality at all, as it will re-
suit in the eventual triumph of
the stronger and better prepared
nation. We don't want the kind
of neutrality aimed at in the re-
cent bill.
If the United States wants to
help maintain world peace and in
so doing keep herself out of war
she ought to forget the neutrality
idea altogether and stop existing
under the delusion that she is still
so isolated from the rest of the
world. In the present situation
she should throw her power and
resources with England and

golf professional appointed pro at

The instructor post at the course
became vacant recently when Harry

supervisor over all municipal
courses. Kenneth Hoy active South

ton today after hearing reports
that the park board was soon to APP
point Lou Feeney, one of the early
developers of the driving range idea.

course in NobleSville. He is an In

ed from the Caddy ranks He has
served in several Eastern and Mid
Western professional posts and three
years ago was assistant to Harry
SchOpp at South Grove.
Almost from the time of last
election, when Ralph Stonehouse
was said to have been active in the
interest of Walter Pritchard, Re-
publican candidate for mayor, it
has been expected that a successor
to Stonehouse as pro at Coffin
course would be named this spring.
William (BilD Heinlein. winner of
the state Open championship last
year and at one time or other hold
er of every major golf title in In
diana. is regarded as certain to get
the Coffin position. There is also
much talk to the effect that Clayton

board has not committed itself on
any of the appointments.
