International Disputes
BIZ James T. Williams, F.

"We have arbitrated our
rights to and in nOncOntiguOus
territory claimed by us. We
have arbitrated the national
conduct of other nations toward
us where we felt such conduct
amounted to war.
eve have never refused arbi-
tratiOn with others as q means
of conciliatiOn where diplomacy
failed. We have come to the
verge Of war to compel others
to arbitrate their differences
with us.
1--WE have never failed to
carry out an award where, the
award being unsatisfactory to
us, we have failed otherwise ul-
timately and amicably to ad-
Just the difference.
KEEP U. S. FREE
"And these things have been
true Notwithstanding that in
the great majority Of cases we
have been dealing with nations
who were so much weaker than
ourselves that had we been less
devoted to the peaceful adjust
ment of international disputes
we could have enforced our own
arbitrary will by the sword.
I'VE have proclaimed our ad.
herence to the principle of ar
bitratiOn, not alone by actually
arbitrating our difference with
other countries under special
treaties and conventions. but
also by negotiating with other
countries general treaties Of ar.
bitratiOn providing for like ad-
juStment of future disputes"
This is only a part of this rec
ord of devotion on the part o.
the United States to the peaceful
method of settling disputes.
We are also "the only great
power in the world that has, as
to land armament, all but com.
pletely disarmed, and that has
made at the same time any sub
stantial and actual reduction as
to sea armament except in
paper navies."
In the light of this record it
is an insult to the honor Of the
United States for any alien in
triguer or his domestic tool or
dupe to pretend that the Ameri-
can people had Jagged behind
other nations in the promotion
of the peace of the world.
The leadership of the United
States in the cause of peace has
been made possible by keeping
the United States free from
permanent alliances" with any
portion of the foreign world by
keeping out of the League of
Nations and the League Court.

legionS over the Ethiopian
frontier; the massing of British
naval power at Gibraltar and
the Suez Canal; the unShak"
able defiance of Mussolini; the
incredible threat of a second
World War-together they with
drew public consciousness from
one of the great tragedies of
modern times. The great meet
ing in Madison Square Garden
served to Decall attention to the
fact, that, if anything, the con-
dition of the Jew in Germany
has gone from bad to worse.
Not since the brutal edict Of
Louis XIV drove out of France
the finest and most useful ele-
ments of her population, the
HuguenotS, has such incredible
ferocity been directed toward a
creed or a people. The seeds Of
this trouble were Sown in the
greedy, stupid Peace Of Yer
Sailles. A bitterly humiliated
Germany-burning with resent
ment, kicked into the gutter Of
civilization, bent on revenge
was only too eager to turn an
ear to the vainglorious promises
of a little Austrian top sergeant.
BASED ON JEALOUSY
The passion for revenge has
not been based upon military
defeat but upon political humili-
alton. A Germany fairly dealt
with could scarcely have evolved
the frame of mind which pro-
duces the persecution of both
Jews and Roman Catholics.
The treatment of the Jews is
not difficult to explain. It is
based upon envy, jealousy-the
meanest of all human emotions.
Love is as strong as death
jealousy as cruel as the grave.
Jealousy of the Jew-hiS emf
nence in universities, in the
fields of chemistry and medi-
cine, in the world of music, in
the lofty heights of literature
and in the theater-was the
match which touched off the
fuse of persecution.
Sixty-five thousand members
of the race have been driven
from the land to which they
gave loyalty. What now is hap
pening to the five hundred
thousand still remaining under
the iron heel of NazisIn? Here,
in brief, is the story up to

snorted Indignantly. What was
the matter with the dod-gasted
critters? Their mothers had
been satisfied with their lots!
Why couldn't they be? The rea-
son was obvious-and every man
knew it. But no man would ad-
nit it. For what could he do
about it if he did?
In the meantime, women
fumed at home, flooded the di-
vorce courts, fused in the Of.
flee, developed 5,793 new varie-
ties of hysteria and neurosis
and raised Cain generally. If
only somebody would tell them

and what to do about it!
So somebody did. In one OF

reviewed before by this depart
ment and many others. But I
still know of no better friend to
every harried household.
TELLS HOW
It doesn't, of course, solve the
economic riddle-tell what we're
to have in place of the Old
Fashioned Home-or even try
to. It doesn't attempt to decide
for any woman whether she'll
be happier in an office than a
kitchen. But it does do that
most important of all things
for her-HELP HER TO FIND
AND KNOW HERSELF.
Here's modern marriage-As
Is. Neither the roSe-covered
idyll nor the grimly sacrificial
rites of our grandmothers' day.
Nor the emancipated partner
ship the FeminiStS would have
us believe we have achieved.
But the most neglected and
puzzling institution on earth.
Marriage-in all it's beauty and
brutality-its rich opportunity
and heartbreaking futility-its
waStefulness, unreasonableneSs
yet sacred urgency.
And here's the modern house
wife-bewildered-ro bed of
her ancient plan and power
burdened with endless new de-
mands and obligations for which
she has had no training -
trapped in the mad muddle of
it all.
Where does she go from here?
DR.. Myerson doesn't say. But
he does tell her how she may
keep herself human and hope
full while she's waiting for the
millennium to begin. And that's
somepin'!

however, that any attempt to

Neither the League of Nations
nor the League Court has been
able to end or prevent the wars
which have been waging since
these agencies to enforce
peace" were established. In
spite of their proven futility a
small group of Americans per-
sists in the attempt to entan-
gle the United States in these
foreign political alliances.
This attempt proceeds upon
the theory that by refusing to
join the League or the Court
the United States is guilty Of
promoting strife among the
nations because failing to sup
port the principle of the sub
stitution of law for force in the
world of modern states"
This is a fantastic theory and
Just how fantastic it is was
demonstrated to the Committee
on Foreign Relations when the
League Court Protocols were
under consideration. The demon
Strator was that eminent jurist
and experienced diplomatiSt
who succ eeded Ambassador
Morrow and carried forward his
great work as American Am
bassador to Mexico-J. Reuben
Clark, jr., of Utah, the ablest
UnderSecretary of State ever to
hold that office.
CONSISTENT RECORD
Ambassador Clark cited the
past record of the United States
on the peaceful adjustment OF
international disputes. 1t is one
in which every true American
will take pride.
"Since the negotiation Of the
famous Jay Treaty in 1793," de-
clared Mr.. Clark, "the policy
and influence of the United
States have been persistently,
constantly, and uniformly ad-
dressed to the peaceful adjust
ment of international disputes.
1--WE have scores Of times alb
bitrated our differences with
other nations. We have repeat
edly arbitrated our boundaries

provide that Jews may not show
the national flag, but, when
permitted, may show the Jewish
colors of blue and white.
The German state thus Off
cially segregates into ghettos five
hundred thousand Jews, and
probably about seven hundred
and fifty thousand Christians
who have Jewish blood. It is a
long-range program with one end
in view. That end is to make it
utterly impossible for a Jew to
earn a living in Germany.
Alarmed by a worldwide storm
of protest which followed in
Vulnerable acts of brutality
committed upon Jews, the Nazi
leaders have now forbidden Jew
batting and attacks by individ-
uals and mobs, but the mitiga-
tion of physical brutality is to
be Supplanted by an even
crueler humiliation.
The Jew is to be taken from
the rack and the pillory where
his wrongs and sufferings are
exposed to the world and where
by he gains worldwide SYM
pathy. Instead, he is to be put
in solitary confinement, a Par
iah, an outcaSt, an untouchable.
He will be starved out socially,
politically and economically.
However, it will be a silent
treatment, a refined cruelty,
which does not lend itself to
startling headlines.
COLOSSAL CRIME
The scheme is to lull world
opinion to sleep so that Ger
many's badly injured prestige
can be re-established abroad.
One may fairly and squarely
ask: What is civilization going
to do about this? So far as 7
know, the feeble, futile League
Of Nations, which has been
very quick, under the spurring
Of England and France, to
shake a fist at Mussolini, has
not uttered one word Of honest
protest to the German Govern
ment of its treatment to the
Jewish people.
Our State Department was
quick enough to scold Japan
for Seizing a slice of China,
but so far as I know, the Gov
ernment Of the United States
has not uttered one word of
protest over the dreadful treat.
ment of the Jews in Germany.
It is impossible to believe
that mankind has descended to
such depths of SelfiShneSs and
indifference as to ignore per.
manently this colossal crime.
