~oMMENTING on the alleged
intention of the State Depart
ment to surrender neutrality
~ privileges. Mr.. William r.
Castle, former Undersecretary
Of State, wrote last Sunday in an
article published in these columns: I'm
this surrender, however. we should be
dealing a blow at international law
as severe as that when we agreed, at
Montevideo, never. at any time or.
under any circumstances, to employ
force in a Latin American country.
At that time we surrendered the right
to protect our citizens abroad in time
of peace: now it may be that the ad-
ministration is preparing to surrender
the right to protect them in war time"
Mr.. Castle was referring, of course
to the declaration of Secretary Hull
at the seventh Pan-American Con-
ference at Montevideo. committing the
Roosevelt administration to policy
of on-intervention" in Latin Amer
lea. But Mr.. Castle seems to have
misinterpreted both the meaning and
the consequences Of Secretary Hulfs
enlightened bid for Latin American
goodwill.
When the Secretary Of State de-
clared at Montevideo that 1t is now
the policy of the Government Of the
United States never again to intervene
with armed force in Latin American
country, he was not surrendering the
right to protect the citizens Of the
United States abroad. When leaders
of public opinion in Latin America
attacked the interventionist policies OF
former years and demanded a change
Of attitude such as Secretary Hull an
nounced at Montevideo, they were not
contesting the right Of the United
States to protect its citizens.
Right Still Exists.
No one has ever denied the right OF
a government to protect its citizens In
a foreign country, If and when this
protection Is exercised through the
established channels of diplomatic ne
gotiation and in accordance with GER
tain fundamental principles upon
which the law of nations is built. The
right of protection is upheld, as Mr..
Castle well points out by the foremost
authorities on international law. 1t
is said to be an inherent right. a nat
ural right, upon which rests the very
essence of government. More than
that: it is said to be not only q right,
but q duty Of all organized govern
ments to protect their nationals
abroad.
But the problem is not whether pro-
lection is q sanctioned rule Of inter-
national law or not. There seems to
be no conflict about that. The prob
lem is to find out when that right,
which we all agree exists, ceases to be
such and becomes an abuse Of right.
Therein lies the fault of all the ofn-
cial and unofficial defenders Of the
past Latin American policy Of the
United States, and of any one who at
tempts to see in non-intervention q
surrender of protection. They can
find no better excuse for Intervention
than to cite the rules laid down by
text writer's and recognized authori-
ties about the right Of protection.
They fill volumes with the text Of,
and comments upon, those rules. They
elaborate extensively, and proclaim
solemnly before the world, the sanctity
Of the right of protection. But they
fail to notice the limitations which
those same authorities have invariably
placed upon that undeniable right.

not be accepted or applied in public
service without doing irreparable dam
age in the long rum"
The Commission also Is in favor of
changes In veteran preference laws
80 that they will adequately recog-
niZe the war service experience of
veterans without conflicting with merit
principles or the efficiency of public
service" These laws, adopted by the
Federal Government, 26 States and
many local governments to facilitate
employment of veterans, "are working
badly" the Commission found.
The Commission gets on a familiar
theme in proposing that all postmas-
terships be put under civil service
and the incumbents be recruited prin-
cipally by promotion. Now, only the
smallest Offices Fourth class) are In
civil service. The change could be
made this year, when the appointees
are about evenly divided between
Democrats and Republicans, the Com
mission believes.
Benefits ViSiOned.
Other civil service inclusions recon-
mended are deputy collectors of in
ternal revenue and marshals in classi-
fed service; professional and skilled
services Of the departments now ex-
cepted, and those emergency agencies
wherever practicable. Extension of
classification to the field services also
is urged.
In summation, the Commission says
the public as we'll as the public ser
want will gain by the career system
OF government.
1T will mean, in the first place,
that the Government will have in its
service its share Of the best character
and capacity Of the Nation" it ex-
plains. Government is doing quite
well now in securing high grade
teachers, engineers. stenographers,
clerks, accountants, firemen and, in
many jurisdictions, policemen and
similar professional and skilled
groups. Under the new program, the
administrative posts, which are now
filed largely either amateur, political.
or both, will be filled by career men
and women. The influence Of this
change will make itself felt all the
way down the line, not only In better
administration, but also in toning up
the service, because Of the hope Of
advancement through good work
rather than through favoritism.
This will not only cut costs, but
give the public the benefits Of i'm.

How Can Trees Be Protected
Against Rabbits, Mice and
Other Rodents?

At present, the best recommends
ton is to wrap the tree trunks with
ordinary window screening mater
ial, which should reach nearly up
to the lower limbs, or at least 15
inches high. If screen material is
too expensive, use burlap. newspa-

not use fresh tar paper, as the creo-
sote in it may kill the trees.

1T seems needless to say, wrote
DR.. Coffman, that the university
will cooperate with the state in any
program that may be necessary to
maintain financial security and in
tegrity in this state. At the same
time, the university respectfully
calls attention to the fact that. the
youth Of this generation pass this
way only once; they have but one
opportunity, just one chance to
qualify and equip themselves for
the consideration Of the pcolaems
of their day. Those nations that
will emerge most quickly and most
securely from the present disaster
are those which do not count their
gains only in a material way.
Rather, true recovery will be for

Long Prairie River Diversion
Studied

A crew of eight surveyors from
the works division of the Minneso-
ia SIERRA Estate Emergency Relief
administrator has examined the
topography of the southwestern
part of Todd county to determine
the feasibility of diverting part of
the water from the Long Prairie
river into Lake Osakis.
The findings of the survey will
be awaited with interest by many,
who have long deplored the falling
level of one of the most beautiful
bodies of water in the county.
If a dam were to be constructed
in the river at a suitable point, a
considerable expanse of low land
in the vicinity would have to be
flooded, necessitating the construc-
ton of bridges for township and
county road crossings.

Also the additional snow will add
to the soil moisture which should
be a decided benefit. If you covered
the plants before you had any real
cold weather, they should be safe
until spring. Temperatures around
20 to % degrees Fahrenheit will

Would Corn Silage BE . Satisfac-
tory Feed For Horses?

II possible avoid feeding your
horses corn silage. Horses fed corn
silage often become affected with
a nervous disease from which they
are slow to recover. It Is thought
that this disease Is caused from
mold in the silage. Some authorities
report that corn silage Is satisfac-
tory for horses when fed along with
other rough feeds, such as prairie
hay and corn slower, the silage re-
placing about half the other rough
age feed at the rate of 2 pounds of
corn silage to one pound of dry
roughage. If silage must be fed to
horses, take care to see that 1t Is
not moldy and give the animals
small amounts at first.-A. L. Har-

Would Hylex, Chlorox or Other
Household Beaches and Dis
infectants Have an Iniur-
ius Effect on q Small,
Private Septic Tank?

Small quantities of household
bleaching agents, such as are used
to remove stains, would not have
any noticeable effect, but II you
put in rather considerable quanti-
ties of these substances, say a
pound of chloride of lime or large
quantity of lysol, then you would
destroy the action Of the bacteria
in the septic tank and render the
tank a nuisance rather than an aid
to sanitation.-R. A. Gartner, Div
