~AN science be mcbilized for
the benefit of death? Will
I all its discoveries, which
~ should bring more happiness
for mankind. be used in the
near future for death and destruc-
ton?
Public opinion is concerned above
all with chemical and meteorological
warfare. 1t fears that invisiblse and
silent death which slips into the body
silently, like a thief.
The dreadful vehicle of this mode
of destruction is the airplane. The
continuous and marvellous progress of
aviation has made chemical warfare
an abominable possibility, There is
not a capital of Europe, except Mos
COW, which might not in a few hours
be overwhelmed by deadly gases. But
certain minds, doubtless through love
of symmetry, have thought of oppos-
ing physics to chemistry, and believe
they have found in the former the
means of paralyzing the latter.
According to them, process has
been discovered enabling planes to be
halted in their fight. An air fleet
could be prevented from crossing a
given zone. On e mysterious order
from the ground the engines would
stop running: the disabled airplane
would have to land Immediately. A
sort of invisible and insurmountable
barrage could thus be, created above
threatened states and anxious cities.
Ara ithaca accorfiope tho y,rosl,Ict of
romantic imaginations? Are they the
result of secrets leaking out, or of
anticipations?
Reservations Necessary.
Before setting forth the facts Of
this situation certain general preser-
vations must be made. Nothing is
more mysterious than science. Its
discoveries can give the lie to all
forecasts.
During the World War the Ger
with a piece of artillery of very long
range. The first shells were a great
surprise to every one The best French
artillery experts asserted that 1t was
impossible to conceive gun with such
a range; they declared that the shells
must have been dropped from an air
plane and not fired from a cannon.
But they had to bow to the evidence.
Science had been at fault.
The same phenomenon can occur
again. In the scientific world every
thing is unforeseeable and disconcert-
ing. What we know Is very little. It
is possible that, somewhere on the
globe, an unknown scientist in a Sc
cret laboratory has found way to
influence the motors of an airplane
flying thousands of feet above him.
But this scientist may also have dis
covered a way for a man to live with
out breathing or to be hit in the fore
head by machine gun bullet without
being inconvenienced.
Such possibilities may serve as an
excuse for society chatter, but neither
fears nor hopes should be founded
on them. Let us try to narrow the
problem down a bit.
Scientific Viewpoint.
From a scientific point Of view
three questions must be asked:
Is it possible to put q magnetic out
Of order and to stop it by means
of electromagnetic waves?
Some experiments have been made;
magnetos have been stopped by
Hertzian waves. But very high powers
have had to be used. And it has
never been done except from q very
short distance.
The process, it Is true, might be
perfected. and the road thus opened
up would be interesting. And that
Is why. among the public, it Is fire.

TINE celebration Of Pan-American
day. this week. seems an ap-
propriate occasion to dwell

ME- celebrdtlon OF Pan American
day. this week. seems an ap-
propriate occasion to dwell
i upon the fundamental prin-
ciples on which pan-Ameri-
canism is founded
OF course, to those who still think
Of pan-Americanism in terms of the
Monroe Doctrine and of the big
brother" role, the pondering of such
principles will be waste of time But
to those more enlightened students Of
international affairs who are begin
ming to look at these things from
angles other than those of sheer phys
ical force or of immediate profit, in
dollars and cents, those fundamental
principles reveal themselves more
clearly every day.
-Americanism, as practiced TO-
day. is quite far away from the goal
set by those who gave it to the world
1t Is today merely q state of mind, q
school of thought based on geographic
propinquity. economic interests and
the similarity of political institutions
among the nations Of the Western
Hemisphere. But it confines itself
solely to the casual furtherance of
diplomatic. commercial and, very sell
dom, cultural links between the two
Americas. 1t can scarcely, then, be
called more than q tendency, an in
definite aspiration.
The Pioneers Objective.
The ideal of the pioneers of pan
Americanism, on the other hand, went
much further than that. They
dreamed Of a political system in which
all the states of the New World would
be closely bound to one another. They
had in mind a system in which all
the American republics would be po-
litically associated, without losing
their internal sovereignty, and in
which all would enjoy equal rights,
share the same responsibility, and
comply with similar obligations.
That, at least, was the pan-Ameri-
canism of Simon Bolivar, the great
South American liberator who first
visualized the possibilities of the move
ment and the flrst-and, to this day,
the only one-who sincerely and truly
worked for its realization. In spite OF
all the substitutes which have been
offered since, and in spite of the fire.
quency with which the original ideal
has been forgotten, that Is still the
only kind of pan-Americanism which
Is truly ethical. practical and. above
all, feasible. It, certainly, IL the only
kind of pan-Americanism compatible
with the principles of equality. mutual
respect and common assistance which
we hear 50 eloquently praised at the
celebration Of each Pan.Aj erican day.

TRUE PAN.AMERICANISM
is HELD NON.EXISTENT
Observer Finds Celebration for Ideal
Shallow, With Obstacles Not
Yet Overcome.

It may be. although 1t hardly seems
so at this time. that the present pam
American tendency may be the path
which will eventually lead us to such
goal. Let us hope it will. But It is
century 1t could have brought us
much nearer to it than we are now.
As a matter Of fact, whenever this
current pan-American tendency has
taken on a political appearance, when
ever 1t has ventured on political
ground. it has taken us further away
from that goal.
When I say "the present -Ameri-
can tendency" am, of course, refer
ring to the movement started by Secre-
tary Blaine in 1889. the one which is
being celebrated this week-the pam
Americanism of the pan-American
conferences, Of noncommittal, diplo-
matte flirting. of fowery speeches and
forgotten recommendations And by
the incursions of this current sort Of
pan-Americanism on political ground
I mean the errors and abuses COM
mitted under the transformed Mon
roe Doctrine, the North American
fiat" Of Cleveland and Olney, the big
stick" of Theodore Roosevelt, the dol
lar diplomacy" of Taft and Knox,
the big brother" attitude of Wilson
and Coolidge, etc.
1t can hardly be denied that these
things have hurt the political prestige
Of pan-Americanism. But it was so
only because they were improperly
covered with the pan-American label.
The only thing these unfortunate ex-
perinces can prove Is that the fault was
in letting one country alone interpret
by itself the political scope of pan
Americanism and determine the rights
and duties supposedly inherent in it.
Under general and permanent
organization. under a pan-American
system of equal obligations and equal
rights, no such misunderstanding
and no such abuse of power would
have been possible. Indeed, the very
errors committed in the name OF
pan-Americanism should constitute
the strongest arguments to emphasize
the need for q more concrete, a more
substantial and genuine pan-Amer-
ican scheme.
Time Is Necessary.
OF course, any modern statesman
who imagined that the ambitious goal
of the true pioneers Of pan-American-
ism could be reached overnight, in the
present order Of things, would be
bound to suffer the same disillusion-
ment that was Bolivar's tragic reward.
A preliminary requirement, as I have
written elsewhere. must be the at
tainment Of . greater degree of unity

Wee Colby crier, For goodness
sake, never saw a rubber lake,
until we bounced on this one. Ev-
eryone was fooled, guess.
"Why, 1 felt sure that we would
get all of our clothes. just soaking
wet. I'm glad that didn't happen
cause it might have spoiled my
dress"
Lets bounce around a little
, while" exclaimed brave Scouty
with smile. I'm going to bounce
real hard and turn a somersault
or two"
He Topped upon his back and
then whirled right up to his feet
again. That's pretty clever" Dun
cy cried, "but can do it, too.
"I'll get vine, and then jump
rope. Twill me a thrilling stunt
I hope And then the others
watched him, and they soon began
to roar.
It didn't work out very fine. He
got all tangled in the vine. We'll,
give up" sighed Quincy. II won't
try that any more

I'VE all would" answered Win
dy. Gee, he ought to be a sight
to see. I'll bet he has funny body
and real fat face" !. 4, -, r. 80
The TIMES soon found he was
right. The rubber man walked
into sight, and shouted, eli, there,
Tinymites. I'll bet you'll laugh at
me.
I'm made of rubber and I'm fat.
The air in me makes me like that
However, don't mind my size. I'm
happy as can be.
II think I'll give you tots some
fun" And, twas no sooner said
than done. The rubber man had
tubes that looked. like coils of liv-
erwurst.
He started blowing them up
high, and Colby shouted, "Me, oh
my! Don't blow SO hard, or ] ant
sure those funny tubes will burst"

France Is united when ''the preserva-
ton Of world peace is at stake"
A close union In purpose between
France and Italy was apparent from
the decision of the two governments
to deliver simultaneous notes Of pro-
test to Berlin Thursday.

Likewise. the plan for consultations
here Saturday among Captain An
thony Eden, British Lord Privy Seal,
Fulvio Suvich. italian undersecretary
for foreign affairs, and Pierre Laval,
French foreign minister, was believed
to have eliminated any impression
that France and Great Britain were
at odds in the current situation.

peared likely to develop from later
conference in which Laval, Sir John
Simon, the British foreign secretary,
and Premier Mussolini Of Italy, are
to join after the results of next weeks

Eden become known.
In another direction, informed cir.

Won't See Ambassadors
Meanwhile, in Berlin, the French
and German ambassadors were In
formed in effect by Baron Konstantin
Won Neurath, the foreign minister,
that Hitler would pay no attention to
them.
This action was interpreted in off,
cial circles as further warning that
Germany already feels so confident
Of her military power that paper pro-
tests Of her violation Of part five Of
the treaty Of Versailles, the section
dealing with military restrictions, are
useless.
An official communique issued after
the departure of the Italian ambas-
sador said Won Neurath had informed
him that 'the basis of the Italian
note cannot be acknowledged as the
disarmament promises Of the other
Versailles signatories have not beer
fulfilled"
The foreign minister's quick, curt
answer apparently had been decided
upon by reich officials as soon as re-
ports reached Berlin that the two
powers intended to communicate their
protests.
When Baron Won Neurath received
the French ambassadors document
he remarked:
"The arguments adduccd In the
French note do not take the actual
situation into account, wherefore the
German government must decline to
entertain the protest"
