The Mussolini Empire.

Gsfmany's action In becoming the first
major power to recognize the Italian
conquest Of Ethiopia is designed sooner
or later to place other important gov
ernmeRts, including that of the United
States, on the horns Of diplomatic
dilemma, There are unefficial sugges-
tiens that Washington may be forced
into the position either OF acknowledge
ing the existence - Lsassolini's Italo-
Ethiopian empire" or Withdrawing the
American Legation from Adds Ababa,
The reasons that impel Berlin efIicially
to admit the subjugation of Halle Selas-
sie's sovereignty do not, Of course, apply
in the case of any other country, with
the possible exception of Austria. Ber-
Inns action is an early result of the
accord with Vienna, concluded with
Italy's cordial assent, If not active CO.
operation. The Reieh's transparent pur-
pose Is not only to Solidify the entente
between the Nazi and Fascist dictator
ships, but to assure future Italian ap-
proval of any territorial adjustments"
in Europe or elsewhere that Hitler may
create. by either force or diplomacy.
There Is no indication that American
recognition of the new deal in Ethiopia
is in prospect. Existing precedent is all
against such action. President Roose-
welt in effect acknowledged the fact of
conquest when he abolished the embargo
on shipments of abnormal quantities
of arms to either of the late belliger-
ents and declared that a state of war
no longer existed. But this is a long
way from formal recognition that the
Italians are now the legal masters of the
late African realm. The delicate situa-
parently faces lies in withholding recog-
milton indefinitely without offending
italy. Matters may shortly be haStened
to q decision when former Undersecre-
tary of State william Phillips presents
his credentials as the United States
Ambassador at Rome and when former
Italian UnderSecretary of State Fulvio
Suvich arrives to succeed Signor Rosso
as Emperor" Victor Emmanuers envoy
at Washington.
While Manchukuo, having been set
up by Japan as a so-called sovereign
state, does not afford quite a parallel
to Ethiopia, there Is every reason to
expect that the United States will main-
tain an attitude consistent with the
"stimson doctrine" proclaimed at the
time of the Manchurian occupation. 1t
was then set forth that this country
does not intend to recognize any situa-
ton. treaty or agreement which may
be brought about by means contrary to
the terms of the Kellogg pact. Since
then the United States has adhered to
the inter-American agreement sponsored
by Argentina. which also prohibits the
recognition of territorial conquests by
force.
Diplomatic boycott Of II Duce's "em-
pire" will not, of course, result in any
relaxation of Italy's hold upon Ethiopia,
but, as in the case of the worlds re-
fusal to accept the fiction of Manchu-
kuos independence, non-recognition of
the Fascist status at Adds Ababa will
stand Is international condemnation of
the lawless means by which it was
brought about.

Motor Car Reversible
Headlights Proposed

To the Editor of The Star:
The writer, like most every one else,
has had occasion to note from time to
time the menace from automobile head
lights, but I particularly was impressed
over this about year ago, while riding
on highway bus. Having nothing else
to do, gave the matter some thought,
and devised simple system of automo-
bile highway lighting, which no doubt
could easily be put into effect.
suggest that automobiles be equipped
with additional headlight" in back, and
additional tail light" in front.
1t is patent that the reason two
autoists approaching each other at night
are blinded Is the glare OF each others
lights. Why is it necessary to shine
your lights in the other fellows place?
When I was boy and my father had
to nail up the COW barn door at night
he used to take me with him to hold
the lantern or candle, and he would say.
Son, hold the light so you see the nail
mot mel, and If you see the nail head,
then you know I am seeing it." I held
the light on the object-not on him.
Now, the man approaching you Is
trying to see up the road beyond you,
he is not trying to see you. Therefore,
if you will shine light from the back
of your car and cut out your front
lights. he will be able to see up the road
in the direction he is going; and If he
shines light from the back of his car
up the road In the opposite direction, YOU
will be able to see where you are going.
I have suggested the tail lights" as
a marker for the front of the cars so
as to outline the small distance between
the two cars.
I have studied this matter very care
fully, going out on the highway at night
and imagining every sort of condition,
and this seems the one way to make
night driving as safe as daytime driving
so far as lights are concerned.
Now. you might say, well, how about
the man behind me when I put on my
back headlight and the answer is, as
soon As the man behind you sees this
light go on, he knows the thing for him
to do Is stay behind you, because this
Is proof positive he can't pass you until
the other fellow has passed you both. OF
course, If this man is, say, within so
feet of you it would blind him tenn
porarily, but all he has to do Is to
slow down; there Is no danger, you are
going away from him, not in his direc-
ton. In fact, this Is his cue to reverse"
hts lights, too, as the man from the
opposite direction will then be pass
ing him.
You have noticed that at night wf1er-
ever they have whiteways in cities cars
can run around with practically no lights
and see clearly and distinctly; because
the light Is shining from an angle not
directly In their faces. In my sugges-
tion, the road In front Of them Is lighted
up from an angle that reflects no glare
in the face Of the party driving In that
direction. y. DllHCN.

To these the President has held out

lows, to realize that one Of ths true
salvations Of the everyday life Is the
honest greeting.
1t is one of the big little things Of the
world.
Let us not be like the man who, when
spoken to second time during the
morning. replied angrily. II said hello
to you once"
Once is not enough!
Learn to speak every time you meet
some one you know.
1t may be an OVERRIDING, but 1t is q
good superfiuity.
The superfluous. in this world, often
Is the good.
Consider the woman who smiles often.
Some people are inclined to call this
affected, but who Is there who can esti-
mate the happiness and encouragement
which such person brings to those she
knows?
The honest smile is never wasted. No
one dareS analyze humanity too deeply.
He who searches for motives often
wastes his time. and is all wrong, any
way.
II some one greets us heartily, or smiles
pleasantly, we accept the greeting or the
smile for what 1t is worth and leave
inquiry to future time, If ever.
Searching for motives, one often loses
the good that comes with ready accept
ance.
What if certain fellow is a profess
sional greeters
Is his smile not as good as if he
really meant it?
Perhaps he does, in the bottom of his
own heart and mind. 1t may be that
his typical smile is really more sincere
than the smile of the person who har-
bors grudge.
Those who believe this should make
a practice of the well-intentiened hello"
or good morning" or even hi" in the
early morning hours.
Many persons seem to require to be
wound up. in the morning, before smil-
ing, or even being polite to associates.
Surely this is all wrong.
Others feel much the same way they
do, and therefore demand the help of
good cheer before noon, not after it.
Yet 1t is common knowledge that many
persons do not "thaw out" before 10
am. or, in extreme cases, until lunch
time.
These are mental cases, in most in
stances, aided by physical ailments, such
as headaches, oncoming colds and the
like.
Often hearty hello" will do as much
to break up these ailments as medicine.
Think, too. of the cheer it brings the
other fellow!
This is helpful prescription in a
busy day, one which may be recon-
mended to all those. in particular, who
do not want to do it,
hearty hello" will do them good.
1t will straighten out the kinks. 1t will
do the other fellow good 1t is making
two blades of fine grass grow where none
grew before.
Keep silent, however rather than say
good morning in such q way as to
give another the impression that you
find it hard to speak to him. Between
the fellow who does not speak at all
and he who speaks in the half-hearted
manner outlined, we will take the former
any time. At least We know where he
stands.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

A hearty, well-spoken "hello" or good
morning" Is an 0ld-fashioned greeting
young people ought to learn.
A distinguishing feature of the day
seems to be q weaSel-Wprded greeting,
as II the giver Is somewhat ashamed Of
being polite.
This indifference not only Is Ill bred.
1t ID silly and deprives life as it goes
along OF something very fine.
A hearty greeting without sincerity is
better than one OF these low-mouthed,
Indifferent greetings one hears so often.
Surely there can be no fear in such
supine methods of speech as are heard
everywhere, especially in the daily greet
ings which help make up the everyday
life.
No, the reason is Just plain indiffer-
ence, based on the secretly held belief
that to be eminently natural is to be
unsophistieated.
To be unsophisticated, one gathers,
is to be worse than nothing at all.
We like hearty greeting man to man,
straight from the shoulder and right
out in the open.
There Is q world of cheer In it, real
help In the everyday.
1t need not be loud.
The indifference, seemingly, SO often
met nowadays, has one good point, that
it Is just the oppesiteness of unnecessary
leudneSs.
LoudneSs is out.
The loudest people are the oldsters.
The young folks speak quietly. That,
too, is sophistication, one of it's better
sides. Surely there Is good to most
things, If one tries to see it.
The loud greeting, therefore, is not
necessary, but the hearty one, the well
spoken one, Is necessary, if we are all
to get the help from each ether which
We ought to get, just as we go along.
Life as 1t goes along-We put it in
that form to distinguish 1t from life in
the abstract.
Life as we 60 along
All persons ought to be interested in
that because 1t means the vital contacts,
so many Of which are unsatisfactory,
and so many of them totally unneces-
Sary
Every one remembers the old motto.
Il am an old man, and have had many
troubles, most of which never happened" ="
Worry can be trouble, too, but what
Is meant Is the worrying over things
that really never happened, and actually
had no chance of happening.
One of the worst of these troubles is
the fancied hurt, or slight.
Surely civilization is a veneer (al-
though in the main a good one) and
every one knows it, when he stops to
watch two persons get mad" at each
other over nothing much.
The veneer. built up through the years,
vaniShes at a few words, leaves abruptly,
takes months to build itself up again.
Thereafter the greeting is likely to be
extra hearty. as the thin places in the
covering peek through.
ANY way you look at it, this thin
veneer OF civilization is good thing,
a thing to value, to take care Of, to
repair the slightest break
One Of the best ways is to greet the
people you know as if you meant it!

The Non.Shavers' Vote.

When 4 candidate goes fishing on his
vacation, he makes bid for the fisher
man vote, provided he conducts himself
in accordance with sound fishing eti-
quette. When he gees sailing, the heart
Of every yaehtsman sails with him, with
an eye to the trim Of his sails and his
manner Of coming up to q buoy. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has executed q politically
astute maneuver in combining, in one
vacation. z bid for the fisherman vote, a
bid for the yachtsmans vote and-above
everything else--a bid for the vote of
the non-shavers.
John Hamilton. chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, must have
been forewarned that something of the
sort was going to take place. For even
~ early a. the convention he appeared
on the platform with . strip of sticking
plaster across his chin, obviously
solemn tribute to shavers the world
over. and he continued to wear that
emblem of the down. -trodden even after
the convention. That was clever.
But Mr.. Roosevelt has given the
Landon management something to think
about. Brsathes there a man with soul
50 dead who never has screwed up his
courage to 60 on a non-shaving debauch?
The hectic life Of an industrial age,
which judges masculine beauty by the
absence of whiskers. has prevented many
otherwise courageous males from hout-
ing the razor for any length Of time.
But occasionally there comes, to every
man, the opportunity not to shave. And

Is There Anything Immoral
About Being a Communist?
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Why do We have all this hySterical
fear and Indignation about communism?
Suppose any one really is Communist.
What of 1t? Why should not any one
be Communist? The general atti-
tude seems to be: "Ch, why, of course
Communist-that is awful"
But again ] ask why? The Com
muniSts may be fools. But 1t Is hard
to see how there is anything more
immoral about being Communist than
about being a Solid South Democrat.
BY that I mean holding political opin-
ions or mental habits that seem to be
wholly unjustified by logic or by ethics
mere personal habits.
The Communists are just like the
Republicans. mean the Republican
party. Wherein are they like the Re-
publicans? In this, that they hold ideas
which seem to other people to be er-
roneous and even silly. But the Repub-
licans claim they have right to be
that way, and so they have.
1t is equally true that the Com
munists have q right to be that way.
They have Just - good q right to ex-
press their foolish notions as the
Daughters of the American Revolution
have to express theirs. Certainly Mr..
William Randolph Hearst expresses q
lot of foolishnesS. So also does Repre-
sentative Thomas L. Blanton.
All this uproar about communism
and against the Communists is wicked.
1t is unpatriotic. 1t is un-American,
The Communists are said to be op-
posed to American principles. But yet
Representative Blanton, Mr.. Hearst, the
d, A. R., and those representatives Of
the War Department who shut down On
anti-war agitation by methods that
smell like persecution-all these are
opposed to American principles. and
they ought 10 Be ashamed Of them
selves. = WILLIAM e. LEE.
