BEHIND WALES "HERE'S HOWL"

YESTERDAY. At the British embassy in Paris,
the Prince Of Wales lifted his slender-stemmed
glass Of fixing wine and toasted France and his
guest OF honor. the swarthy Premier Laval.
The toast was significant. Across the Rhine at
that moment, Naz Germany was feverishly rearming
"a movement which has now been going on, day and
night for "a months.
Southwark in the Mediterranean the British
feet was massing at the entrance to Suez and and
at Gibraltar Beyond that. along the Ethiopian
frontiers the egons of Benito Mussoini were await
ing the command ct attack-to begin which,
before it is done may change the map Of the world.
The toast was significant because all these things
arc inter-related. In at least two capitas-Rome
and Berlin-there are those who would make any
international spy independent for life if he told them
exactly what lies behind that toast
They not be unmindfu Of the fact that
similar scene a third Of century ago marked the
beginning Of the entente cordiae-an alliance be-
tween Britain and France that never wavered until
the German kaiser's cmissaries had dipped their
pens in gall and signed his and Germany's abdcaton
at Versailles
The Prince Of Wales, of course. does not conduct
Britains foreign affairs But it has been Emope's
custom for centuries for representatives of reignng
houses to grace with their presence the scene where
such negotiations are in progress.

mitted that the Franco British conversations
of most vital Importance"
The British are convinced that Il Duce's African
ano Mediterranean adventure menaces what they
call the empires life line" They wish to stop him
even at the risk Of war
For this enterprise they need the support of
France. Yet France has no material interests in
VOWED in the region of Ethiopia What she fears is
Nazi Germany. She desires British support against
the danger she sees across the Rhine
For years France has been attempting to get
security for herself by creating vast intricate Euro
pean peace structure based pretty much on the satu-
quo. Italy-at first hOstile-has recently thrown her
full weight on the side of France Britain on the
other hand. has been rather cold.
Now the shoe seems to be somewhat on the other
foot Not only is Britain increasingly uneasy over
the rapidly growing Nazi air fleet, which might bomb
London at the END of an hours flight but italy is
threatening to dominate the Mediterranean and
Britains sea route to India. Australasia and the
Orient-the life line
Today Britain apparently needs France as much
as France needs Britain. If that is So it would not
be strange therefore, if the two powers eventually
revived something approximating the old Entente

Time may show that it was some such under
standing as this that was being signaized when

HIGH COURT OF CREDIT

business generally shows an upward trend
~ bankers are more optimistic. and occasionally
the stock market feels its oats These signs of re-
covery, increasingly manifest, doubtless are thrice
welcome to the Administration
But to no less degree should they warn the Ad-
ministraton to prepare itself to cope with possible
temperance of the credit imitation fever which
made this country dizzy in the twenties and left
it almost paralyzed in the early thirties
After all human nature and our economic system
are fundamentally the same as a decade ago. and
we have in addition a much greater artif1ciallv
created reservoir of potential credit
Now on the books are laws which if admins
tered with courage and wisdom ought to save us
from another speculative drunk even if most of us
do forget our hangover vows
The vast discretionary powers vested in the Fed
era Reserve Board now being reconstructed make it
possible for that body to become in fact supreme
court of banking and finance It's power to raise
redscount rates and bank reserve and stock margin
requirements, together with its authority over open
market operations, should enable the board to curb
any runaway of credit speculation
But even the most perfect of man-made laws
are not sefoperstive. It is doubtful whether even
these laws would have been of much avail in '27
% and 90, for the Federal Reserve Board then
lacked in experience, and its thinking was-or at
least in retrospect seems to have been-colored by
political considerations

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

A T least one major feminine issue is settled Mrs.
William A. Becker, presdent-general of the
Daughters of the American Revolution. has commit
ted herself and her organization to great task
the defense OF the Constitution.
Her eyes grew misty with tears" says the inter-
viewer AS she mentioned the sacred document"
That's going to touch the hearts of many patriotic
dowager.
The ladies of the D A R. may relax. There will
be no drastic changes in their programs Then can
gather as usual, in their richly upholstered houses
and drink to the Constitution in endless cups of
pale tea.
Besides that-it's such a lady-ike You
never have to bother with facts You aren't required
to know what goes on in the block or get upset
over the tribulations of your neighbors No. all in
the world you have to do is see that you have well
closed mind in a well corseted body and every time
a hungry radical sticks up his head just wave the
Constitution at him.
The president general. always eager to set her
flock good example, proudly announces she has
never read line by DR.. Charles A Beard or any
other horrid modern historian who insists writ
ing about things as they are. When she reads she
reads the sacred document written by her fore
fathers" and makes ready with hpStick and powder
puff to defend it,
It's interesting too the way she's going about the
Job For instance she favors the Daughters back
ing movement to discipline American youth and
cites nobody else but Mussoni as good example Of
what can be done that line
I'm sure the Daughters all the country are
glad to know TO what kind of program they are
officially committed. There may be little confusion
in their minds at first, but need to worry Mrs.
Becker has everything well in hand.
What they call Fsscism in Italy is known to our
president general as defense of the Constitution.

somehow fails to include labor or
CARNATIONS or groups of every
day citizens on its roster, that
can't be helped.
What is noteworthy, though. is
the philosophy eXpounded by the
lawyer who put the Wagner act
decision together, E. F. Reed of
Pittsburgh.
Mr.. Reed who won the Weirton
Steel Co.'S case against organized
labor under the NRA. had this
to say:
When a lawyer tells client
that a law is unconstitutional, it
is then a nullity and he need not
obey the law"
If this proposition could only be
followed generally, it would GER
tainly relieve our courts of a great
deal Of work. If you are vexed
by any of the multitudinous en-
actments of national Congress,
state Legislature, or City Council
don't go to court and fight them;
just get your lawyer to tell you
that they are unconstitutional,
and then go blithely ahead and
ignore them.
The present argument over
whether the founding fathers in
tended to give the Supreme Court
the right to annul unconstitu-
tional laws is needless. What they
had in mind, according to Mr..
Reeds philosophy, was evidently
that this right would be held by
each of the innumerable lawyers
in the land.
There is a Supreme Court wher-
ever the attorney at law" sign
hangs out. All you need to do is
pick the right lawyer.

This does not refer to the cur

That is something else again, a

What we are talking about is

NOT so GREAT,

BY Admiral
Things are shaping up for some
thing rather dreadful to happen in
the Mediterranean, we read in the
papers, and the vast concentration
of naval force there is called the
most ominous sign since the close
of the World War
But just to keep the record
straight, let's not have any more
talk about the greatest display of
naval strength in all history" 1t
isn't that, by a long shot.
A recent compilation by your own
newspaper shows that Great Britain
has assembled in the Mediterranean
two battle cruisers, six battleships,
Is cruisers, As destroyers and some
so auxiliary craft.
Powerful as this force is, it is a
mere shadow of the British force
that fought at Jutland, if my men,
DRY serves me correctly. Jellicoe
there had two dozen battleships in
his main force, with lighter craft in
proportion. The German fleet was
smaller-but, even so, it was far
larger than the present force in the
Mediterranean
This doesn't make any particular
difference, Of course; but it's just as
well to keep our sense of proportion
in the present crisis.

There is plenty of precedent to give Babe Ruth every hope of en- toying a fair measure of success as a player in the Braves uni form. It is no novelty for Ameri- can league veterans to make the grade in the National league after they have apparently outlived their usefulness in their own circuit.
 It seems that veteran players of the New York Yankees have, in the past, been in particular demand by the National league clubs. The Cincinnati Reds alone picked up a
