In the wake of the great VIC
tory for American independence,
which the American people
have just won under the leader
ship Of Senators of the United
States who kept the faith of
the Fathers, the household of
the nation will be well advised
to remain on guard.
The walking delegates of the
League Of Nations have no in
tention Of abandoning their
Sapping expedition to under.
mine the traditional foreign pol.
icy of the United States and
involve this country in foreign
entanglementS.
TWO PRINCIPLES
This traditional policy was
once declared by John Hay,
who was private secretary to
Abraham Lincoln and Secretary
Of State in the administrations
OF Mckinley and Theodore
Roosevelt, to consist of two car.
dinal principles:
The Golden Rule and the
Monroe Doctrine.
WaShington'S policy was to do
unto Europe as we would that
Europe should do unto us. BY
setting Europe the example Of
a policy of non-interference
with the political Quarrels Of
the Old World, Washington
hoped to encourage Europe not
to interfere in the political life
Of the countries of the Western
World.
So it can be truly said that
Washington's policy included
the Monroe Doctrine as it's cor
rallary. The doctrine follows
logically from the policy. To
abandon one is to put the other
in jeopardy.
OF course the walking dele.
gates Of the league are well
aware of the intimate relation
ship existing between these two
cardinal principles of American
foreign policy. They know full
well that by weakening the
policy they will ultimately be
able to destroy the doctrine.
And that is their ultimate goal.
Their itch for minding other
peoples business, their passion
for meddling in the affairs of
Europe, in the persuasive name
of world peace, has led them to
the formulation of what they
call a program of international
cooperation" AS if the United
States had not been cooperating
with other nations from the
time of Washington unto the
present.

EASIER WAY
And the reason, of course, is
plain. It's really much easier
for lazy, cowardly, conceited
human nature to be resigned
about misfortune than it is
to try to cure it. People who
cure things challenge every

everyone'S comfort.
Also, they take frightful
chances with their own safety
and reputation. And if you
want to remain a hero in the
public eye, you've got to take
chances with them. So, ma

society deplore and discourage

serve the shiniest medals for

Imagine You Are Someone

AS a method of relaxation

ing thoughts at times, it might
be we'll to imagine you are some
one else.

Perhaps you have wondered

You may have thought it to

More than likely it is that
their work enables them to get
away from themselves.
They live the lives Of the

You may be too engrossed in
strictly personal matters.
Your thoughts travel the
same grooves Gay d1Ier Qdy,

But he gets color by his

watching their reactions to his

middle-aged eX,skater is moved

If could persuade, let us say,
Walter B. Pitkin, author of that

not to try to skate at his age,
that would be my croWning

down on the accruing laurels
and rest there the remainder of
the season.
First, it is my duty to report
to non-skaters of 40 that ice has
grown no softer with the pass
ing of the years. Second, it is
my duty to warn them, in case
they have not discovered it for
themselves, that a man of 40 is
beginning to grow brittle.
At the age of 10 a tot can
fling himself about with impun-
ity, and flop on the hardest
kind of ice and rise with a
laugh, because at that age his
system is full of rubber, and so
he has plenty of bounce. At 20
a youth has less rubber in him
but enough remains so that he
can sit down pretty hard on ice
and suffer no injury except, If
girls are around to witness his
humiliation, a bruise to his self

Fine Words on Airport
Words Don't Accommodate Planes

The Federal Aviation Commission has added another docu
modern and adequate airport for the National Capital
The words of the Commission the local airport situa-
ton welcome But little ACTION by who has
authority to put the airport through would be
welcome.
The Commission up the airport situation pretty
completely when it says:
"Ln time of peace WashingtOn's lack of really
adequate airport facilities is a nuisance and ciUic
shame. In time of uOar with the immense that
government personnel WouId haUe make of aircraft
for official traUel, continuation of the present cOnd
tiOns uUOuld be a real handicap the effort"
AS the Commission points out Of the principal
for delay in improving local airport facilities is the SELFISH
BTCKERNG of those who have sites which they think
suitable for airport
This pickering has greatly hampered the efforts Of those who
want the Capital to have decent facilities for accommodating
this important transportation element On several occasions
it has arisen to prevent the accomplishment Of plans which
had met popular and official approval.
There k of course another phase of the situation that has
prevented construction of airport And that phase is
who is going to pay the bill.
The District doesn't to be in position to finance
airport and the Federal Government which certainly
has much stake in the matter the local government
doesn't to be inclined to pay.
Establishment Of airport would undoubtedly give work
to many and suggest that District officials who

Of the recovery effort give thought to including the
