The action of Milwaukees Socialist government

ARE WE CIVILIZED?

THE London naval conference begins today. The
story behind it is nothing if not an Indictment
of what we are pleased to call civilization"
In the years preceding the world conflict the
great powers bickered and elbowed one another to
obtain, to hold their places in the sun" Arrna
ments grew and grew. Collision was inevitable. Re-
suit: A total Of 37,494,186 casualties.
A few statesmen saw the folly of it all. They
honestly tried to make it to end war They
set up League of Nations and framed a covenant.
There followed the Locarno Treaties, the Kellogg
Pact, the Nine-Power Pact, the Four-Power Pact,
arbitration pacts and pacts to reduce and limit
arms.
Yet today, just cast your eyes over the situation
War is blazing away in Africa 1t threatens Europe.
Asia may catch fire. More men are under arms than
in 1914 Seven leading world powers next year plan
to spend average of billion dollars each to build
up their machines.
Concededly the London parley hardly has
chance, Bigger navies not smaller, will almost GER
tainly result. America, Britain, Japan, France Italy
Germany and the Soviet Union all plan to expand
their forces on sea, land and in the air.
Why? Because of the fear of war Some nations
are still seeking their place in the sun" Others be-
lieve theirs in danger. Despite the World War
with all its cost in blood and grief and money and
despite the maze of solemnly signed pacts to keep
the peace, we are back right where We were before
the deluge. Apparently civilization has learned
nothing and forgotten everything.
1t is to take the superficial view however, to
blame systems of government. Or militarists, or
dictators. Russia, the great Communist anti-nlili
tarist state maintains the greatest standing army
the globe. Italy, at the other end of the political
spectrum, likewise is armed to the teeth. Britain
France, Japan, America, and others in between,
keeping pace.
Unflattering as it is, the world be no better
than the of the intelligence of its inhabitants
That is the bald truth and we should not blink it.
Dctators can not survive unless we let them. Nor
milltarists Arnaments grow because of the fear
of war. Wars grow out of economic conditions.
Education is the only way out. We must become
civilized. War can be cured only by eliminating the
economic causes The London conference seems
doomed because we have not yet learned how those
causes can be removed

THE BARRETT CONVICTION

THE conviction of George w. Barrett in Federal
Court should be news all over the underworld.
The statute of 1884 under which he must be SEN

is full of teeth.
Barrett is confessed dealer in stolen That
trade brings in the Federal operatives because it
crosses state lines. Federal agent was killed by
Barrett in the line of duty. AS result Barrett
must be hanged somewhere on Federal property

demanding that the government get out and stay
out" of all housing activities.
Private industry" the umbermen say, SIS pre-

This would be good news indeed if we could be-
heve it true Outside of its encoura to private
financing by the insurance of mortgages the gov
ernments housing plans have been confined to

homes in few cities. In this field private capital
never has shown interest For years these wretched

create decent substitutes Industry has not and is

of Landlord Astor's action in selling the land at
half the assessed value this highly subsidized project
still offers average rentals of $605 room. Even

cheap government loans, must pitch in and do the

DANGER OF WAR AHEAD,
WRITER WARNS

By Glenn Lewis, Bloomington
It appears that newspapers, even
The Times, fail to grasp The ap-
palling potentialities of the present
international situation.
In Ethiopia, savage tribesmen
with ruthless barbarism persist in
the brazen attempt to save their
native land from conquest by the
heirs apparent of Julius Caesar and
Nero.
We in America consider ourselves
safe. No fanatical patriots endan-
ger our safety by splattering them
selves into atrocities beneath our
bombing planes, Thanks to our re-
cent Neutrality Act our ships are
safe from Ethiopian submarines.
Comforted by that thought we ig-
more the real danger.
If Great Britain persists in her
narrow and bigoted attempt to
observe her obligations to the
League, the war no doubt will spread
to unheard-of dimensions.
When sanctions give way to open
hoStilities there can be little hope
for Great Britain, supported only by
the dominions and the members Of
the League, against the three great
world powers: Italy, Mussolini and
Brisbane. We well may consider
whether our Neutrality Act would
save us from a conflict of such di-
mansions.
