An American LOcarnO.
(Cincinnaii Enquirer)


 In the absence of any full explanation, the Presi- dents circular letter heads of American states proposing consolidated peace pact remains something of mystery. It might be something of gesture to- ward international cooperation in the one field where MT Roosevelt is disposed to cooperate Or it might be in the nature of reassurance to Latin American states which very naturally perturbed by the mill tary and naval expansion plans of the United States far beyond it's apparent needs.
 In any event. the general idea is a commendable one for there much still to be done to "regularize the new relationship developed among the American nations In recent years the United States has with drawn the last of it's troops their irritating mis- sions in the Caribbean countries. It has renewed pledge not to land troops foreign soil At the same time it has showed a wholesome disposition to coab- crate with other American states and with the League of Nations adjust disputes in the Chaco and on the Colombia-Peru frontier.
 The new spirit of Latin American policy is one of mutuality, of United States participation an ever there much to be said for giving it legal defni- in international treaty The declarations of this country alone are not obligations bound tC respect from pride The same principles put into treaty form would be obligations of more convincing nature to the Latin American peoples
 Ideally, such a treaty would go farther than the Kellogg -Briano Pact, and take character more akir to the Locarno pactS This would provide syste- matic machinery for the adjustment of internatona disputes on the American continent, and would pledge the various to give active assistance any one of them which was menaced by the aggressive policies of another The United States is hardly ready to go far with such program on worldwide scale but it certainly should be prepared to do in the Western Hemisphere if it wants to avoic duplication of effort with the League of Nations r American quarres in future

A REPUBLICAN PROBLEM.

For than a year the editors and scores of orthodox Republican newspapers in all sections of the country have urged their party leaders to proclaim a farm program. These include the Chicago Tribune and Senator Arthur Capper's Topeka Capital in the Midwest the Los Angeles Times and the Portland Oregonian in the Far West the Hartford Courant and Boston Transcript in New England. In January of last year William Allen White and other liberals started movement in the plains states with that definite purpose in view They proposed a grass roots con- ference-a real conference-of progressive Republi- cans familiar with the problems of agriculture and willing to formulate for the guidance of their Eastern brethren plan which would not ignore the fact that the measures adopted by the Roosevelt ad- mnistration had saved the farmers from ruin.
 But the gathering at Springfield promptly talk en over by the Old Guard and suspicious flop Subsequent conclaves in the Rocky Mountain region in Cleveland Ohio and elsewhere were called for the same purpose but none was productive of the sem blance of plan.
 Now however, the situation has changed.
 Speaking at Des Moines last week Senator L. J. Dickinson arch foe of the New Deal proposed farm relief program. He said it
 should embrace erosion, soil conservation with the Federal Government appropriating funds
 to be allotted to the states in such cooperative
 work"
 Governor ,Eantion of Kansas was speaking at the same time and he announced his farm program. He said:
 'The proper application of soil conservation principles would help materially to prevent the production of price-depressing surpluses." The previous week Col Knox Chicago publisher proposed his program. He said:
 "It is a simple proposal that the American Government, representing all of in the pro- lection of asset that belongs to all of us-the fertility of the soil-shal aid the farmer by di- rect subsidy from the Treasury"
 And ex- President Hoover in his speech at Lincoln Neb. said:
 T believe we must be prepared to subsidize
 directly such special crops until agriculture has
 again been brought into balance. At the end of
 such road could hope for a balanced agricul-

Modern Etiquette By Roberta zee

Q. Is it customary for a man to take any part in his wife's "at home" day?
 A. No; the average business man has neither the time nor the incli- nation to do so.
 o. What should the hostess do when a caller refuses a cup of cof- fee or tea?
 A. The hostess should accept the first refusal and not make the offer a second time
 Q. Is it permissible for man to pass in front of a woman, in order to get out of an automobile on the curb side?
 A. Yes, it is permissible, and also safer than getting out on the traf- fic side. Of course it is much more convenient for the driver to get out on the left side.

ture in full production and increased fertility in


 soils"
 In other words every one of the major Republican candidates favors crop restriction in precisely the manner recommended by President Roosevelt two weeks before Knox Dickinson and Landon had sub mitted their programs and several days before Mir Hoovers speech at Lincoln And it is significant that of these constitutionaists dared to look eye eye with the Supreme Court and say that the agricultural problem is for the states alone.
 So until energetic and resourcefu President had found way, and the bill was being debated in Congress, these aspirants as much in the dark they more than year ago Now all of them would do it the Roosevelt way
 None of the many vital national problems inherit ed by the Roosevelt administration from the Hoover administration had caused human distress and economic disarrangement than the farm problem. All four of these ssprants know it developed under Hard ing and Coolidge and became dangerously acute under Hoover. It decidedly Republican problem
 After this performance the public has right to expect that their ptifu record in this respect is sympomatc of their capabilities cope with the gen. era task of administration WHICH MIR ROOSEVELT HAS NEVER FOR MOMENT PUNCHED.

 According to astrology today is dominated by benefic aspects. It should be especially lucky for deal- ing with property.
 There is a sign presaging for the United States navy expansion and activity. Unusual events will en- courage the building of many ships. For the people there should be a sudden awakening to international affairs and clear vision of this nations relation with Europe and Asia.
 Tin, wheat, cotton and many ag- ricultural products now will be sub jects of legislative discussion. Food stuffs of many sorts will demand at tention.
 Demonstration of new achieve ments in which science adds to the horrors of war may be expected in quarters not previously considered in international discussions.
 Rooms in the stock market may be of widespread interest High living and little thinking will encourage extravaganza, and astrologers warn of the danger of ostentation when millions of persons are still unem- ployed Riots are forecast in certain cities.
 Dress is to be a major interest through the summer. Fashions will be varied and exacting and modistes and milliners will profit. But there will be less interest in imported hats and gowns.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fairly good fortune. A few will benefit through legacies or gifts from relatives.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be practical and resource ful. Inventors and manufacturers belong to this sign.

Tony went forward to greet Madame

the pompous and self-important

Stone was introduced. He inform
ed them that Mrs. Corey Maiden was
away on long motor trip, from
which she would not return for sew

ed over Perilla's heartlessness in 60
ing on a pleasure trip so soon after
the death of her husband.
'She had to co." Stone declared,
"the doctor ordered her to seek some
diversion, lest she be driven insane

for she might feel it her duty to

'Hoity-toity, Mr.. Man, she said,
peering into his face with sharp, an

much to say?"
II am engaged by Mrs. Maiden to

making an appointment to meet, he
and Tony said good night and went
home. Tony was staying at a hotel,
declining to make use of Stones
hospitality any longer, though Stone
had never failed in cordially.

and duly deposited Perilla by the
