mon d Schuster; $3.50, examines the chances for in
terplanetary travel and concludes that they are ex-
cellent.
Right now, says Mr.. Cleator, the construction
OF ship that could fly to the moon and back is
theoretically possible. The principal drawback is
that it would cost 500 100000 But the point is that
in theory at least the thing is perfectly possible
The space ships chief problem he says is. to get
up through the stratosphere into empty spa>e To-
days research is devoted to solving that problem
Once the ship reaches that space it can go on and
on with the expenditure of practically no fuel Find
workable way of getting past the first so miles or
so and the biggest part of the puzzle is solved
1t is strange Jules Verne-ish picture Mr. Clea-
tor paints. He suggests in all seriousness the es-
adjustment Of fueling stations the moon and the
construction of artificial satellites to revolve end
lessly about the earth some 600 miles up carrying
supplies for itinerant star visitors

What About the Bread?

MUSsoL1N1 has given the people of Italy su-

tary genius in its handling of motorized transport
The apane has been used for aggression in country
FAR more rough than bombers have ever tackled be-
fore. So what? When does the bread begin to flow?
For little while the Duce has diverted the atten-
ton of his people from the powerful foes which Italy
must beat back if Fascism is to continue Selassie
was only little bit of fellow compared to Unempoy-
men which still threatens Italy as we'll as the rest
of the world.
And / am puzzled too at the fierce glee with
which many American commentators hail the pres
ent low estate of the League of Nations I do not
deny that the league is sick unto death It's Struc-
ture seemed faulty to me from the beginning. And
yet see no reason for joy at its demise. If it is
utterly oberated little will be left but the old plan
of balance of power and secret treaties and alliances
And the league at its worst caused no more havoc
than that system.
American critics assert that the league timid
in dealing with the Duce and that it should have
called MussoniS bluff when he defied the world to
interfere with his campaign against Ethiopia. But
these the same critics their heirs who opposed
our participation at Geneva the ground that the
league had teeth which would make for constant
conflict.

Liberal Viewpoint
BY HARRY ELMER BARNES

ME death of William Reuben George marks the
passing OF one of the major figures in the history
OF American humanitarianism, reformative methods
ana education Out of his experiments at the George
Junior Republic nave grown number of mai or adj
vances both IN the reformation of delinquens and in
the character building of youth 1t is not bevond
the bounds OF possibility that his innovations will
ultimately revolutionze the treatment of delnouens
Ihey already have made much progress in this di-
rection.
Mr.. George was born in 1866 near FreevilIe in
central New York state, where he ultimately con-
Structed his famous educational institution Going
10 new YORK as a young man he became interested
IN the problem OF delinquency when Theodore Roose-
welt was police commissioner of New York City
Roosevelt made Mr. George a special policeman
and he carefully surveyed the condition of youth ON
the lower East Side of New York City in the early
nnetles He was shocked by conditions he uncovered
and tried to improve them by organizing boys clubs
But he found it difficult to make much progress
with poverty and degradation on every side.
GO he decided to take youngsters from New York
~ and give them a taste of country life during
summer vacations Results still were Disappointing
therefore, in 1885, he gathered together about $50
boys and girls from the slums of New York and took
them to Freeville his boyhood home He started
the experiment on shoestrng and had to depend at
first upon the aid of curious but amiable neghbors
He set up his school on abandoned farm and
some OF the original group remained with him
throughout the winter. In the summer of 1896 mat
tiers really got under way and the George Junior
Republic came into being
The term Republic" not mere high-sound-
ing front for autocratc reality The boys and girls
in the colony actually conducted their own govern
ment on representative and thoroughly democratic
foundations.
The success of the self governing experiment was
so impressive that it widely adopted in reform
schools not only in this country but abroad.
