Territorial Greed

Col. Edward M House, who helped or ganize the League of Nations, in recent radio address expressed sympathy With Germany, Japan and Italy lin their de- sire to obtain an outlet for their surplus population and access to more raw ma terials." He suggested that "a potent League" could achieve readjustment Of territory and induce nations having surplus to share with those in need.
 "There are many waste places in the world" he added, "that could be devel- oped in this way, and further cause for colonial expansion through force could be at least partly eliminated"
 Z. This would all be true enough If hu- sman nature were little more humane It would save the world much of war, suf- fering and poverty to which it is subject now because greed and force are used in- stead of moderation and reason.
 The war in Africa, for instance, would never have started If vast, undeveloped and almost uninhabitted areas of that continent had not been appropriated by nations that do not need them. The war tscould doubtless be stopped now in an hour, and another threatened war fore stalled, by an offer from Great Britain and France to share their excess territory 7 with Italy and Germany. The League of Nations, now piously applying blockade < penalties to Italy for breaking the worlds ,s peace, has the power to make such a re- <. .adjuStment, through revision of the Yer ,s Sailles Treaty and re-aSsignment of the ' mandated territories outside of Europe {: taken from Germany and Austro-Hun- [ gary.
