an absolute falsehood, as these So

The statement of HapgoOd: 1--WE

A GRAVE HOUR

TENEVAS invocation Of Article Is is the gravest
~ step yet taken in the alo-Ethiopian imbroglio
The League Of Nations has never gone quite so far
before.
If Italy sends her legions across the Ethiopian
frontier within three months, Italy automatically
becomes an outlaw"
Whereupon, Great Britain, France Russia and
more than dozen other powers are on record as
saying they will carry out the League covenant in
spirit and letter.
If this means anything at all. it means that
Mussolini, like Napoleon before him, will face
Brttish-ed coalition if he goes to war coalition
pledged to every means-moral, economic and mill
tary-to defeat his purpose.
In itself the invocation of Article IS is not exactly
a new development. The League has been operating
under it since the Council four weeks ago Public
notice that it is proceeding in accordance with
that article, however is of the utmost Importance
for two reasons:
First, if Article IS is officially resorted to- and it
fails to bring peace Article Is automatically becomes
the next, and final, step-the resort to sanctions
even to the application of force
Second it paves the way for any nation or group
of nations take whatever measures they may deem
fit against the outlaw state Says part of Article Is:
If the Council fails to reach report which is
(other than the'partes to the dispute) the members
of the League reserve to themselves the right to
take such action they shall consider necessary for
the maintenance of right and justice"
Great Britain. therefore, would not necessarily
need the unanimous support of the League or even
Of the Council should She on her or in conjunc-
ton with some other nation, coalition, proceed to
against Italy for the maintenance of right and
Justice
So, from all appearances. Europe is close indeed
to war For II Duce to back down. diplomatiSts in
sst would doom him and probably the entire Fascist
regime For Britain to retreat seems equally i'm
possible without a fatal sacrifice of prestige. And if
the League fails now. it is through
AS in 1914. one feels the catastrophe simply can't
happen because it would be too terrible Yet happen
it dd-then
Only miracle, the experts are saying, can smooth
out the tangle without bloodshed. Americans are
hoping for that miracle
For our position with regard to another European
war remains only too equivoca despite the neutrality
efforts of the last Congress.

CHAIRMAN lands

JAMES NJ lands will, We believe prove worthy
successor to Joseph P. Kennedy as chairman of
the Securities and Exchange Commission
year ago Lands appointment to this key
position would have created alarm in financial
circles But in the last year. fnanciers have some
what recovered their poise, and have almost over
come the instructive dstrust with which they then
seemed to regard this man whose social detectives
not universally shared nor always understood
by the men who frequent the market places.
Jim Lands record has inspired confidence in his
integrity and common sense. He may not talk the
language of Wall Street." does Joe Kennedy but
the fact that Kennedy, himself, wanted Lands to
succeed him should quiet whatever remaining qualms
may be felt by nanciers whose purposes are honest
OF course those whose purposes are dishonest and
those who want to return to the let the buyer be-
ware" will not be cheered by Lands promotion
That is what makes his promotion especially for
tunate. Lands helped to draft and to make effec-
tive both the truth nsecurities law and the stock
market control law.
His elevation will contribute to the already
marked improvement in the confidence of the in
vesting public. And investor confidence is the only
thing that can bring back permanent prosperity to
the financial marts and provide ready capital for
business enterprise.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
by Mrs. Walter Ferguson-

DART of our space today is turned over to L. A. D.
who has few words to say on an old subject
1T seems within the last year So" she writes,
that you are anything but champion of women
Are you also growing old ungracefully grabbed and
narrow minded. you recently painted the picture
in your column" CNow there's something to think
about0
The time is ripe for you as we'll as for others
to give proper credit to women and I refer to
mothers especially who have sacrificed the best of
their lives for husbands and children Don't confuse
sacrifice and self-pity either for it was burden
undertaken by them willingly and lovingly fulfilled
All that mother asks in return is the respect and
consideration of her family, and how seldom she
gets it!
1T is true. you recently said, that the old
fashioned wife has become unnecessary to her hus-
band in a practical way, but not so his secretary!
The motive of this letter is: Why have you dis
carded your championship of mothers and wives
whose only reason for existence seems to be to
satisfy the selfish whms of husbands and children?"
All this is brought upon my head because spoke
kindly Of secretaries. who do not get too many COM
piments either. But though I may champion the
secretary it does not mean am wholly at outs with
the wife only quote this letter as being typical of
the widening breach which divides the business from
the home woman Compliment the one and the
other is up in arms
1t is not what either suffers that makes me I'M
duly concerned, but the feud which exists between
them. The homebody sees her husband in constant
jeopardy from the wiles of the Office girls Who to
tired housewife. often appear more radiant and
desirable than they are. On the other hand the
business seems to regard the average wife as
a cross between fool and parasite, a pampered
creature who renders small service for what she
receives
The truth is that neither of them is doing so we'll
at the moment. and each only harms herself by an
tagonism toward the other new understanding is
imperative.

ONE LAW FOR ALL

THIS is story about Smiling Henry" Stohl and
u Commodore Cornelius G. Vanderbilt
Henry and Cornelius both used the same system
to get ahead in the world. They worked hard and
saved their money and tried to live on the interest
Before Cornelius died Sc years ago he set aside
S21O00OO0 in trust funds for his descendants. An
accounting recently indicated they are still man
aging to keep the wolf from the door because of the
old gentlemans foresight.
Henry, like Cornelius didn't like to touch the
principal When they hailed him into Police Court
in New York for sleeping on the sidewalk to save
room rent, he readily admitted that he had $17Oo in
the bank. But he was so, had no job and he didn't
like to spend more than the interest on his money
-s425O year at &. PER cent-because he might
need it more in his old age.
The judge ordered Henry to sleep indoors and to
buy himself some clothes
Thus the law more demonstrates its i'm
partiality as between rich and poor. Not even a
Vanderbilt would be permitted to sleep on the side
walk.

FREEING THE BONUS ISSUE

THE decisive action of the American Legion
convention in divorcing the bonus issue from
the monetary imitation issue probably will prove
to be an important development in the long agta-
ton for prepayment of the veterans compensation
certificates.
It should serve to isolate and clarity the question
on which Congress will vote early in the next ses-
sion To pay or not to pay the bonus Immediately
will be the only issue. No something for nothing
money magic will be injected to confuse the minds
of the congressman who vote, the veterans who
have right to have their own cause considered on
its merits. or the taxpayers who-whatever the
method of payment-will attend to the final reck-
oning
In denying the right of printing press enthusiasts
to ride their hobby the back of the bonus, the
convention performed a service for the nation, for
the veterans and for the Legion itself In the last
few tests before Congress on this question: those
who wanted to flood the country with paper money
used the war veterans as front This they can not
do again.
The printing press panaces has brought disaster
to every country and every age in which it has been
tried. 1t is a comfort to the nation to know that
when the bonus issue is next before Congress, the
war veterans will not be maneuvered into the false
position of pushing the country toward a whirl-
pool of credit destruction worse than any depression
yet experienced.
