Frances Peace Policy.

Frances Socialist government, despite
mounting domestic vicissitudes, has has
tened to formulate and proclaim a
foreign policy. 1t is disclosed as a con-
structive program to consolidate Euro
pean peace by every means compatible
with French security In token Of popular
support for such a policy, the Chamber
vetoed confidence in the government by
the impressive margin of 1922 to 1913.
While France favors any measures
calculated to strengthen the peace
preserving power OF the League of
Nations, the Blum government would
reform the system of collective security.
with view to correcting glaring defects
exposed in Geneva's futile effort to check
Italy in Ethiopia. To that end, France
would set up groups of nations, bound
together by either their geographical
situation or some other community of
interests. These groups would unite to
wage war against an aggressor, while
other League members would lend sup
port by employing preventive measures"
in the form of economic and financial
sanctions. Under these proposals France
could maintain her close alliances with
Soviet Russia and the Little Entente and
escape possible isolation under the
British plan for purely regional groups.
In pursuance of these general purposes,
along with an effort to promote dis
armament through naturalization Of the
French munitions industry. M. Blum an.
nounced that France will hasten the nego-
tiation Of three mutual assistance pacts.

Crop Curtailment.
On whiskers frequently I gaze
That statesmen are wearing.
A few are left on view these days
To keep us from despairing;
For j. Ham Lewis meets the breeze
With confident position,
And Justice Uses, well at ease,
This emblem of tradition.
Though Jefferson and Jackson wore
No shrubbery abundant,
And Cleveland never tried to score
With facial fringe redundant,
We think of Lincoln, Grant and Lee
With reverence unshrinking
And wish that we again might see
Such men of noble thinking.
Collegiate men have set the style
For scientific growing,
And faces now display smile
With unobstructed showing.
When crop curtailment seems to make
So oft serious blunder,
I'm asking, was it mistake
To plow the whiskers under?

tional budget, forgetting, or pretending
to forget, that a Democratic Congress
was in control of expenditures during
half of his term Of office.
But the Kentucky Demosthenes is not
the only sinner against history. His
friends at Philadelphia have tried to
dramatize an equally unjust misrepre-
sentation of Mr.. Hoover. They sent an
empty hay wagon into the streets to
publicize their version of thought so
frequently mangled as to deserve the
correction of faithful reprinting. What
Mr.. Hoover really said was: IF protec-
ton to American industry and agricul-
ture is taken away, grass will grow in
the streets of hundred cities thou
sand towns; the weeds will overrun the
fields of a million farms" Only definite
intention could alter such a sentiment
into something useful to the reelection
of President Roosevelt. But there can
be no question about the attempt being
made.
OF course, there are individuals who
are not disturbed by the momentary
prosperity of error. But their attitude
of resignation may be dangerous. The
course of nations on occasion has been
detected by falsehood. Bismarck's mutt
lation of the famous Ems telegram is an
illustration. 1t caused the Franco-Prus-
sion War, which in turn promoted the
World War of 1914-1918.
Like Brutus, Mr.. Barkley is IAN hon.

to methods unworthy of his cause? The
same question, incidentally, may be
asked of certain Republican spellbinders

little prospect that there will actually
be another flying cloud. Suitable
weather for a rapid increase followed
by period of severe drought would
make it possible, but such a transfor-
nation is extremely unlikely so long as
man. by planting cultivated crops on
land formerly covered by grass, provides
good egg-laying grounds and plenty of
green food for the hoppers.
Meanwhile. the United States is CO.
operating with Is other nations, chiefly
those of Southern Europe, Southwestern
Asia and Northern Africa. on more effec-
tive measures of grasshopper control.
All the participating countries have
agreed to make yearly reports on the
graSshoppers within their own borders.
These reports will be distributed. the
world over by the Imperial Institute of
Entomology, in London.
They are designed as aids against
surprise attacks. The insects may be-
come very numerous in desert or waste
lands of one country, where they do no
harm. and later migrate In a great swarm
to neighboring countries where they do
a great deal of harm. Continued re-
search is necessary to locate more accu-
rately the centers of outbreaks and to
discover what makes the numbers of the
swarms increase and decrease.
Definite information still Is lacking,
DR.. Parker points out, on the transfor-
nation from the solitary phase, which
is relatively harmless, and the gregarious
phase, which is dangerous. Several spe-
cies occur in both phases and each phase
can change itself into the other. Be-
sides altering their habits so that they
attack in mass rather than as indi-
viduals, the change Of phase is accom-
panied by various physical differences.
In the solitary phase these insects are
known as grasshoppers on both sides of
the Atlantic, but when they change to
the gregarious phase they become 10
Gusts" in Europe and Asia.
During the late 1870s there was terror
all over the world at the flying clouds
In parts of Minnesota where they
landed they covered the ground three
inches deep. Crops were destroyed
throughout the prairie States.
The most remarkable flying locust
incident was reported from Russia in
1878:
"A detachment of Russian troops
bound for Gen. Lazeroff's expedition
against the Turcomans met with a GU
rious misadventure near the Georgian
town of Elizavetopol. A few versts from
the town the soldiers encountered an
army of locusts about 20 miles long and
broad in proportion. The ofncer in
charge did not like 10 turn back, re-
PEELED by mere insects, and, pushing on,
the soldiers soon were surrounded. The

Accuracy.

Politicians as class are notorious for
their contempt for accuracy. Every ma
tional campaign provides numerous ex-
amples of their willingness to distort the
truth in the interests of theoretical par
tisan advantage. The current struggle
is no exception. For example, consider
Senator Alben w. Barkley's citation OF
Theodore Roosevelt as an advocate OF
restriction of the Supreme Court. The
date specified is 1910, and the Progress
sive leader at that time was in revolt
against Republicanism. Yet the New
Deal keynoter quoted him as though he
were a regular and accredited spokes-
man for the organization with which
as q matter of fact he was at war.
Again Senator Barkley complained that
Herbert Hoover unbalanced" the ma
