Neutrality May Never Insure Peace

The people Of the United States should not be mis-
led into thinking that the threat of war, so far as we are
concerned, can be entirely removed by the passage of a
congressional measure defining and providing for neu-
tralty.
While The Herald ardently desires peace among the
nations of the world and especially the abolition of war
in so far as tn United States is concerned, we cannot
accept the idea generally prevalent, that the government
or the people of the United States can, of themselves
and by themselves, safeguard or guarantee peace.
With a senate committee delving into the financial
and industrial record of American companies, prior to
the World war, and with associations and individuals
demanding that this country keep out of war" it is time
for us to realize that the problem is not quite so simple.
Suppose, for example, that a policy of neutrality is
enacted by congress and signed by the president. 1t
might embargo the shipment of goods and ban the lend
ing of money. In the event of war between two powers,
the prohibitions that we enforce would inevitably work
to the advantage of tn stronger nation, which would be
better prepared for war. In the struggle between Italy
and Ethiopia, the ban on the sale of war material, if it
was worldwide, would mean the absolute victory of the
Italians.
In other words, as we see it, it is vitality necessary
for Americans to understand that our desire to keep
out of war, which leads us to attempt complete insula-
ton means the adoption of policies that are certain to
hur one b~elligerent and help the other. This will cause
i'll feeling oward us on the part of the people injured and
involves the possibility of reprisals.
Space is not available to enter into any extended
discussion of the dangers that attend any stated policy
of neutrality. 1t should be sufficient to point out that no
policy can be effective unless the United States is willing
and ready to back up its declared policy with force if
necessary. No nation in the world that becomes involved
in a life and death struggle will have much respect for
a theory regarding neutrality-the only factor involved
in its calculation will be the number of ships and the
number of men available to compel respect for our neu-
trality.

Radio Music War

Music constitutes the largest part of the programs
offered to the listeners" in Of the many programs
throughout the United States. Broadcasting stations have
to pay royalty charges for permission to offer copyright
ed numbers in their program.
Several years ago the American Society of Com
posers, Authors and Publishers was organized and
through its agency the writers and publishers of music
have been receiving some return for the use Of their
compositions in theatres, hotels and other public places,
as well as by radio broadcasting stations. Nearly all of

Head colds among breeding hocks
are one Of the most common troubles
confronting poultrymen at this time of
the year, according to Miss H. E.
Cushman, extension poultry specialist
at Montana state college. Hens af-
ficted with a cold are a menace to
the rest of the flock, she warns, and
such birds should be removed from
the rest of the flock to check spread
of the disease. Colds lower vitality
and a hen with lowered vitality lays
eggs with weak germs. Miss Cushman
recommends having dry litter, a prop
erly ventilated hen house and a bal
anced ration as the best precaution
against colds. An ample supply of vi
tamins Al and D should also be in the
ration and this means alfalfa or a sim
liar green feed In plentiful amounts
and cod liver oil or another reliable
fish oil.
The tendency of the past few years
toward consumer sized packages has
spread recently to include the market
ing of potatoes in small and attractive
packages.
Any trucker who is not a common
carrier and who hauls misbranded
seed from one state to peddle it in
another state violates the federal seed
act, the U. S. department of agricul-

MEDICAL

The ethics of the medical profession
requires hat the interests of the ply.
sician's patients must be placed above
his personal gain. For this reason, in
the past, all discoveries that were
made by doctors were not patented,
but were given freely to the world for
the benfit of mankind. But the selfish
ness and greed of the human race be-
ing what it is, much harm was done.
For example, DR.. Babcock invented a
milk tester and gave it to the
world without a patent. The testers.
were rushed upon an unsuspecting
and critical world. Many were frauds,
because they were not made accord
ing to DR.. Babcock's specifications.
The resulting chaos required years to-
clear up and in the meantime the
public had suffered greatly through
lack of protection for a new device.
The same thing occurred when scarlet
fever serum was discovered. It was
not patented and many cheap and
faulty limitations were thrown upon
the market.
The only safeguard to the public
was found to lie in patents. 1t was for
this reason hat DR.. Frederick Bant-
ing and DR.. Charles Best consented
to allow insulin to be patented. How
ever, neither they nor their colleagues
received any money from the patent
ing of insulin. The patents were is
sued to the governors Of the Univer-
sity OF Toronto as assignees. All mon
eys received from insulin goes direct
ly to Toronto university and ARE used
entirely for medical research not on
ly in Toronto but in other Canadian
universities" "The preparation and ]
standardization of insulin is controlled a
through licenses and otherwise" thus /
the public is protected and safeguard !
ed from any fraud in the preparation
and sale of the drug. I
1t was in 1925 that the Wisconsin
Alumni research foundation began by
patenting the process discovered by
DR.. Harry Steenback for irradiating
medicinal and food products with vi
tamin d. They began with $500 in
1925 and in 1895 their assets are ST.
The foundations annual al
lotment for the years 1857 is $685.
300 which will be distributed to diff 1
ferent colleges of the university, for /
the advancement of medicine, science I

Docks discoveries, he has continued !

acts. Montana has a strict seed law
that requires the labelling of all agri-
cultural seed offered for sale in lots of
one pound or more. Buyers are urged
to insist upon a label complying with
the requirements of the state law
when they buy seed.
Moisture and frost found on the in
side of stock barns and poultry houses
does not come through the walls. The
moisture comes out of the air in the
room, and is deposited on the wall be-
cause the wall is cold and there is too
much moisture in the air. Ventilation
will remove excess moisture and in
sulating the wall will prevent its be-
coming so cold.

An Intriguing
Mystery

OF late people have been saying
that Ford MADDOX Ford has been
paying more attention to what
the characters in his book eat
than what they think and feel.
It has gotten to be a jest that
his novels have been turned into
glorified books on cuisine. Per
hapS Mr.. Ford has overheard
some of these facetious remarks.
At any rate in his latest he has
turned his pen to inscribing a
mystery.
The story centers around the
adventures of Walter Leroy, a
young physician who is going to
Paris to continue his studies. He
is selected by the Communist
party in New York to carry con-
tribution to their comrades in
France.
On the boat Leroy meets M. de
Ia Penthievre, a royalist, and Mr..
Penkethman, a police inspector
connected with the League of Ma
lions. The young student also
meets and falls in love with Cas-
sic Mathers. When they all get
to Paris, Leroy disappears. Cassie
starts the hunt for him.

Here is a pirate story for al!
boys between IL and IS. OF
course there is nothing to pre-
vent others who will still have
an urge for Seafaring tales and
pirates from enjoying it also.
The story concerns a little
Connecticut sea coast town and
the adventures of Will Endicott
and a sailor friend Of his, Mad

There were two warehouses in
the little town. Wills father, an
honest merchant owned one. John
Raven owned the other. Although
Wills father was industrious and
shrewed it seemed that Raven

things was making a better go Of
it than Mr.. Endicott. Will and

why. It makes an exciting story.

Entertaining
Story

When you take '"The House in
Paris" down from the shelf you
have the assurance that it was
read and acclaimed by the Book
Of the Month Club. If you remem-
Der Elizabeth Bowen and the
stories she told in Encounters"
and 1.-THE Hotel" you will be
further emboldened either to Dor
row or buy it. And, If you like a
brilliant, beautifully written novel,
you will be glad Of the time spent.
We call it brilliant and beauti-
full, you notice, and not Stimulat-
ing or amusing or profound, be-
cause, as one young lady re-
marked, cit almost drove me to
despair. couldn't put it down.
I hung on every word. But moth
ing ever happened"
Well, nothing does. Or, to be
perfectly honest, this happens: A
little boy named Leopold leaves
the House in Paris" with the
man who married his mother.
That's all that actually happens
in 269 pages. The rest happened
before the book began. Miss
Bowen merely reviews it and If we
told you what she reviews, we'd
rob the story Of the element Of
suspense and take away your
reason for reading it.
You'll want to know what makes
Leopold the intense little person
he Is and why he waits passion
ately expecting his mother to
come and take him from ""The
House in Paris" You read chap
ter after chapter just to find out.
But in the end, Leopold has still
20 meet his mother. He Is only
on the way to her.
The chief charm Of the book Is
the way Elizabeth Bowen writes
the story. Her style Is superb.
She can picture a place or a per-
son and make you see them with
the simple turn Of a phrase. She
is, in short, a distinctive crafts
man.

Modern YOUNG
Artists

A group Of water colors, draw
ings and wood carvings, Of the
ultra modern school, are now on
exhibition at the Mt. Pleasant
Library, Sixteenth and Lamont
Streets Northwest.
The water colorS and wood
carvings are the work Of Joe
Goethe and the drawings are by
Robert Francis. The artists are
both young and very, very mod
ern.
Particularly modern are the
wood carvings, which are very
much a Ia Jacob Epstein, with
their twisted and elongated al
legged symbolism. There is, for
instance, Mr.. Goethe's carving Of
a seated figure, an extraordinary
mixture of torso, arms and legs.
There are also his "TorSo," GER
tainly not the ideal feminine fig
ure, and a few heads that are
peculiarly long and lean.
Mr.. Goethe'S water col0rS, on
the other hand, are quite con-
sentative. He exhibits a number
of winter landscapes that demon
strate a particularly fine use of
white.
The drawings by Robert Francis
are Of the one-line variety. He
accomplishes a great deal by the
use of as few lines as possible,
and in some instances, demon
strates commendable Subtl1ty.
The exhibition will close Friday.
The Washington times., 1936-04-25

Hundreds Of entries in the con"
test have been seen by thousands
of persons since the show began,
and much has been written about
the artists and their work. But
there is always room for q bit
more comment when a show is so
truly representative and its work
so fine.
There is, for instance, the work
of Emile A. Roure, Of the free
lance group. His ':Harbor Reflec-
tions' is fine example Of what
can be done with the proper ap-
probation of the loneliness Of
water. And his "Orchart Street
Merchant" etching demonstrates
that he is not only versatile but
an artist Of human Sympath1es
and skill.
The splendid works Of the art
lists on exhibition are too numer.
GUS to mention. But no review OF
the show would be complete with
out some reference to the splendid
"Bavarian Woman" Of Hans
Schlereth, Mary Lewis Halls "Por'

'The Wanderer," Benson B.
Moore's sunlit ION the Potomac"

His tragedy is the tragedy Of
Russian and Russian women and
Russian men. His knowledge Of
human reactions are exceedingly
shrewd; his treatment somber and
mysterious. In other words you
will find in Alexei the same kind
of mental diversion you found in
his forebears. He is not, and
probably is not expected to be, as
great as Leo Tolstoi but he writes
the same way. And that's some
thing.

Mr.. Middleton, who has been
busy for some years as a foreign
correspondent in European capt.
tails, buttresses his assertions con-
corning the African conquest"
with official statements, state
papers and newspaper clippings in
0 clear and concise style.
The story ranges over the past
so years and tells Of the political
coups and strategies which led to
the division of the "Spoils" among
seven nations.
The book opens with some inter
esting sidelights on Henry M. STAN
lev and the exploits that made him
famous. It ends with the Italian
invasion Of Ethiopia. In between
thee 307 pages are the evidences
Of the greed Of the nations and
subjugation of the black man.

Alexei, who can also claim con-
nections with the great Turgenev,
must have spent his student days
reading the works Of the i'm
mortal Leo Tolstoi. so true are his
writings to the old tradition.
He writes, of course, Of revolu-
ton but he writes of many things
besides.
He shows us the birth Of new
thought in Petrograd previous to
1914 and follows his historical re-
cital straight through the war to
that Ninth of November when the
Kaiser surrendered his sword on
the Dutch frontier. .-.
