Germany and Sanctions.

Ever since the League came 10 grips
with the question OF imposing sanctions
against Italy Geneva'S nightmare has
been the fear that the two great non
League countries, the United States and
Germany, would exercise their rights
to continue trade with MuSsolini. Should
he be able to tap the unlimited supplies
obtainable from those quarters, the boy
colt declared against the Italians would
be largely, if not wholly, ineffective.
Fears on this score were particularly
acute with reference to Germany. 1t
was thought that Hitler might not only
welcome an opportunity to thWart the
League, but also to curry favor with II
Duce for their joint purposes in Central
and Southeastern Europe. More than
once since its Ethiopian conflict began
to threaten general complications, the
suspicion has arisen that somehow the
dictators of Rome and Berlin would find
it possible and profitable to join hands.
1t comes, therefore as an agreeable
surprise 10 lcdIll IlldG Wl$AC N@SAiA
has no intention of formally identifying
herself with sanctions, she has taken
steps which in effect align her with
League policy in vital respects. Berlin
discloses that it decreed an embargo on
shipment of arms and munitions to
Ethiopia and Italy Immediately after
the opening of hostilities. That action
virtually paralleled and conceded with
the steps taken by the United States.
In addition Germany now announces
that she will take prompt measures TO
prevent war profiteering," especially in
foodstuffs. Anything savoring OF specu-
lation in such commodities for export
purposes will be vigorously suppressed.
The same prohibition applies to certain
basic raw materials. Activities designed
to permit resales to belligerents at large
profits have already been detected.
While the Reich government is at pains
to indicate that it is not adhering to the
sanctions and is guided, in the measures
Just proclaimed, by domestic economic
necessities, Germany's action in its broad
implications brings her into line with the
worldwide restrictions to which Italy
is about to be subjected. 1t must be
clear to Rome that the Germans are at
least not minded to facilitate Italys re-
quirements on any extraordinary scale.
for the Berlin decree stresses that trade
is only to proceed on normal lines. Its
volume does not family approximate
Fascist needs under present burdensome
conditions.
Whatever Germany's motives-whether
they represent a desire to promote peace
or spring from the food necessities of her
own people and the raw material de-
mands of the Nazi rearmament pro-
gram-the shutting off of the Reich as
source of unhampered replenishment for
Mussolinis war machine is highly i'm
portant development in the collective ef-
fort to rebuke and suppress international
lawleSSness.

and who Is not2-who tend to feel that
the domestic cats interest in birds is
o sort Of perverse instinct, which the
creature works up for himself out of thin
air, ought to keep well in mind the
relationship of such animals rs dogs
and cats to the universal nature Of which
all living things are children. Intellec-
tually, the cat cannot be blamed for his
desire to catch birds. Nature put it in
him and Nature alone can take it out.
And she will not because her cat might
need it, when and where, who knows?
Consider the house cat preparing to lie
down in city apartment or house. The
room is free from hindrance to him.
All is smooth on the hardwood floor or
rug, but does he just lie down?
He does not.
Millions Of years Of instinct keep in
him the understanding Of preparing his
own bed in the reeds, rusheS or grass
Of his native Egypt, the home land Of
our common cats.
So he turns around twice, thrice, in
order to smooth himself a neat place
to sleep.
II YOU have ever watched a cat do
that when there is no need for it, and
seen the same cat never fail to do it,
you will have better understanding
of these instincts Of oufs which we share
with all our animal kindred.
There Is no need to be ashamed Of
them, as some persons are; they are
great, in their way, and stand us in
good stead in those few seconds of our
civilized lives when we may be in need
of them.
600 wonder man stADninp I'm from tho
street to the curb.
His foot slips and he is precipitated
on the sidewalk.
But does he necessarily hurt himself?
Although he is a Sedentary fellow, evi-
IDENTIFY, with no claim to athletic ability,
his fall is as graceful and well managed
as If he were the famous young man
on the flying trapeze.
His right hand shoots forward without
him knowing what he is doing
He lands on part of his under fore
arm, which acts as sort of spring for
all the rest of him.
Except for his hand and his feet and
a few inches Of his arm, not a part of
him touches the pavement.
Even his precious nose, which almost
touches, fails by quarter of an inch.
up do IL Ildu Ildp-
pened and nothing really had happened,
thanks to instinct.
If he had had time to think, however,
he might have killed himself.
II
Perhaps every human has some pet
dislike in music.
With many persons it is the soprano,
especially when she insists on running
scales and the like.
Our personal pet peeve is the tenor.
Even the great Caruso gave us a pain.
Such diSlikes however, are personal
and mean little. 1t is not so much a
case of knowledge, or lack thereof, as
perhaps a fault in ones hearing equip
ment.
Just as the dog yowls at certain notes
on the piano. and the cat resents the
harmonica on any note, so your average
human listener has his weakness. He
need not yowl. however. With the radio
it is easy. All he has to do is turn a
knob.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Cleveland were more impressed by the
matter than the manner of his maiden
effort as a presidential aspirant. Elo-
quence is evidently not the Kansan's
long suit, but he has a gift for SIM
plicity and directneSs of statement, which
many people prefer to political SPELL
binding. The Topeka Coolidge" GER
tainly knows his budget onions and how
to deal with them in common-sense, un-
derstandable terms If opposition to
New Deal expenditure is. to be para
mount in SO. Landon is well equipped
to personify it. His failure to project
any new farm program is surprising. 1t
suggests that the Governor agrees with
his fellow Jayhawker. Senator Capper,
to attack Triple A.
Doubtless during Prime Minister
Mackenzie Kings visit in Washington
this week he will indicate who is to be
the Dominion's new envoy to the United
States. 1t is understood the post has
been offered to John w. Dafoe, editor
of the Winnipeg Free Press and an in
f1uential supporter of the prime min
ister'S Liberal party. Mr.. Dafoe, a
cousin of the famed medical guardian
of the Dionne quintuplets, is well known
in Washington, which he visits Pc
riodically for news-gathering purposes.
A giant of man and journalistic mata-
dor of the old school, Mr.. Dafoe is an
aggressive apostle of Canadian-American
fraternity. Friends doubt whether he
could be persuaded to surrender his edi-
torial chair for the fleshpots of diplomacy.
One of the phenomena of the G. o. P.
presidential free-for-all is that two
prominent contenders-Knox of Illinois
and Vandenberg of Michigan, not only
are both newspaper men by profession,
but grew up on the same paper, the
Grand Rapids Herald Knox was sue
cessively reporter, city editor and circu-
lation manager Vandenberg was editor
later and for % years before coming to
the Senate in 1928. Both are native
wolverines.
Congress, the Constitution and the
Supreme Court" is the title of book
just off the press under the authorship
of Charles Warren of the District of
Columbia bar, distinguished authority on
conStitutionaliSm. The closing chapter
summarizes the SO decisions of the Su-
preme Court holding acts of Congress
unconstitutional, from 1889 to June, 1924.
Since the latter date and to June, 1885,
there have been 18 decisions ruling an
act of Congress or its application uncon-
stitutional OF the various cases set forth
by Mr.. Warren, 10 were cases in which
the act of Congress itself was not held
invalid, but in which q valid act was
applied by Federal officials to a matter
or in a manner which violated provisions
of the Constitution. The author deals
with his subject in terms understandable
by laymen as we'll as lawyers.
As the 1896 campaign approaches more
is likely to be heard Of Walton H. Hamil-
ton, recently appointed President Roose-
velt's adviser on consumer problems.
Formerly chief of the N. r. A. Advisory
Council, Mr. Hamilton came into the
New Deal from the Yale law faculty.
Previously he had taught economics at
Michigan, Chicago, Amherst and the
Brookings School in Washington. He
is q Tennesseean and acknowledged
authority on living costs.

Evervbody's Privilege.

No individual of normal mtellectual
and spiritual development would wish
to add to the troubles of mankind. BY
the same logic, every citizen OF clVlllzeo
nation instinctively must feel desire
to do his personal part to relieve the
sufferings of humanity. And the right
to help less fortunate neighbors is also
at once a duty and privilege. Even
in a society highly regimented ana
rigidly formalized the power to exercise
the natural impulse to help the distressed
should be preserved. BY some it is con-
sidered philanthropic, by others ethlcally
obligatory and by still others sacred
opportunity.
Granted that the state on occasion
NAV assume the burden, there prooaoly
are many who will wonder If an lnstitu-
ton. however great and strong, can serve
all the purposes represented. The imme-
diate or expedient ends OF an emer-
rencv effort, of course, may be accom-
plished: but what of the larger aspects
of the case? Charity ought not to be
mere casual accommodation. Rather, 1t
should possess something of that qualify
of mercy" of which Shakespeare wrote:
1t is twice blest;
1t blesseth him that gives and him
that takes.
The element of personal interest, 1t
would seem, never should be eliminated
from an enterprise of human fellowship.
Rather, it is vitality important that 1t be
maintained and gradually expanded. A
nhvsician wants to make his own con-
tribution to the alleviation OF disease
and the increased enjoyment OF health;
a LAWYER aims to perform his own snare
of the labor of establishing and democra-
tizing Justice, and a teacher SpendS MS
energies to justify his own responsibility
for the dissemination of knowledge In
the world. Let any of these be robbed OF
freedom to obey the demands OF the
light which burns in his soul and the
whole race will be hurt by the theft.
And a like principle applies in the
instance of the average man or woman
as regards good deeds. Deny to the
generality of people the chance to express
the love they feel for their kind, and
the effect will be that of dehumanlzlng
them. But the trend, incredible as it may
appear, is in that direction. The United
States, like the several countries OF
Europe, probably would have Govern
ment control of social service of every
necessary variety if it were not for one
single bulwark-the Community Chests
of different towns and cities.
That fact is worth remembering at
the moment when the annual Washing
ton campaign for funds opens. Should
the drive fail, the District of Columbia
might have nothing of neighborliness
left save that of the mockery constituted
by a cruel impersonal machine built up
hurriedly, inefficiently and expensively
to take the place of cooperative existing
agencies whose values are known and
appreciated by thousands.
The Chest is everybody's affair. 1t
signifies everybody's privilege of giving
and should be protected accordingly.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

In many years of listening to radio
and the keeping Of cats we have never
noticed but one reaction, q very pointed
dislike of the harmonica.
Symphony, soprano, bass, jazz band
these and many others leave the feline
world cold, but not the harmonica.
The harmonica band stirs them to
evident displeasure.
Usually they meow, then look rather
f1xedly at one as If quite sure that the
listener has something to do with the
noise.
Then if the set is not turned off they
will come over and climb on the lap,
hoping to mollify one into dispensing
with the sounds.
If no attention still is paid they begin
to purr.
Those not familiar with house cats be-
lieve that the purr, unique sound pro-
is solely sign Of pleasure.
Often. as in the present case, it Is one
of entreaty.
BE a good fellow" the purr says,
under such circumstances. Turn the
thing off, won't you?"
Many cats are peculiarly susceptible
to the higher notes, particularly the
harmonics, Of the violin.
Often they will meow in most piteous
accents at a real violin played in the
same room with them or even in another
part of the house.
We have never noticed this dislike,
however, for violinists over the radio.
Perhaps the keen intensity of the pitch
is taken out of the strings for the cat
ear by the timbre of the loudSpeaker.
Dogs howl at certain notes struck on
a piano.
Often the family pup is said to "sing"
when he throws back his head and emits
a blood-curdling yowl.
1t must not be thought that when
either dog or cat gets as close as possible
to the source of the high-pitched sound
that he does so because he likes it.
What the creature is trying to do is
to prevail on the one he supposes to
be the originator to stop, cease and desist.
4 **
No doubt there are some cats which
evince a real liking for some particular
type of music, but we have never seen
one.
Even the vibration of the dynamic
speaker causes no response.
Music, as humanity knows it, has been
total loss to the various cats of our
acquaintance.
They show no interest in it whatever,
just as usually they do not see them
selves in a mirror. Only one cat out of
several score we have known really looked
at herself in a looking glass There
could be no doubt about her. She would
sit and peer intently, look away, then
look back.
Animal sounds, made by no less an
authority than Ernest Seton, evolved no
response from cats.
These sounds on a phonograph disk,
included the blood-curdling cries of the
timber wolf, by all odds our favorite,
and also many bird cries.
Yet not cat of several who have lis
tened to this record ever displayed the
slightest evidence of having any natural
feline interest in it. The interest of
cats in birds, it scarce need be said, is
entirely natural. Those bird lovers

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Hatchery.
A little thought went fiuttering
Upon Summer day,
Although it seemed fragile thing
It travelled on its way.
Somebody with a blunderbus
At it would take a shot
And try to toss it, wounded thus,
Out in vacant lot.
But soon it spread its wings anew
In seriousness or mirth;
Some tried to catch it as it flew
And bring it back to earth.
It settled in garden patch
Where no one could intrude,
And managed now and then to hatch
OF other thoughts brood.
And thoughts, at first but little feared,
Nobody now disdains.
We often find flock they've reared
OF fighting aeroplanes.
