Government Plus Reverence
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

lack of reverence felt and mani
tested throughout this nation for
government? Are the politicians
to blame? No, they are not. We,
the voters, are to blame when we
put in public office men who by
then behavior discourage rever-
encc for government.
We, the voters, are going to
have to develop self-rcspcct be-
fore we can have government we
can reverence. We are going to
have to develop Self-reSpect be-
ore we can have government we
lan reverence. We are going to
lave to cease regarding politics
with selfish, greedy eyes before
we can keep out of public office
men who arc selfish and greedy.
We are going to have to stop sup
porting men for public office SIM
ply because they slap our backs,
| kiss our babies, and promise us
some Of the gravy if we help them
steal the hog.
We have not yet made Il sue
cess of this government. True,
ne have built up a great nation
physically, but it is not great spir-
itually. 1t is not nation where
high spiritual forces would choose
to dwell except to do missionary
work. Any nation great in every
thing but spiritual power is foun-
nationally weak and liable at any
time to crash.
There is sadly lacking through
out our land the spirit Of real
patriotism - t h at patriotism

WASHINGTON. Tho question
" Of what TO do about dingy, UNI
progressing American embassies
abroad would seem to be practi-
cally solved.
The idea around the State De-
partment, at least, is that you just
keep transferring Ambassador Joe
Davies from post to post. Or, to
be more specific. you transfer the
wealthy former Marjorie Post
whom Joe recently married.
from post to post.
Perhaps the way the boys at
The department feel about the
problem is best indicated by re-
calling the time when Davies,
just appointed to his present am
bassadorship at Moscow, asked
Roosevelt what ought to be done
about the Russian debt, and the
President wisecracked back the
suggestion that Mr.. and Mrs.
Davies assume it.
The old embassy at Moscow
was treated to new bathtubs,
plumbing, air-cooling and various
other renovations when AmbaSsa-
dor and Mrs. Davies moved into
It.
Right now the gossip about
Mr.. and Mrs. Davies emphasizes

The American embassy at Ber-

be the old Bluecher palace. II

$l,700,000 for it. Unfortunately,
fire destroyed the entire interior
about the time of the purchase.
Ambassador Dodd lives in a
rented house. But, as they point
out in whispers at the State De-
partment, that interior offers a
splendid opportunity for Ambas-
sador and Mrs. Davies.

Certain forces within the adj

Roosevelt himself - had fondlcd
the idea that the "culprits"

But one Of the last things Ca

TO appoint the senatorial wing OF

Oldest members, in point of Serv-

The result was that the commit

been quite tame.
"Garner'S last act of sabotage"
say some of the disguised New

THE House of Representatives
l. recently refused to pass a COM
mittee bill which would have i'm
posed an income tax on residents
OF the District Of Columbia-ob-
viouSly because the lawmakers
didn't want TO tax their own in
comes. One of its substitutes was
a tax on chain stores, expected to
yield S750,000 and proposed by
Congressman Martin Dies OF
Texas. This was, another victory
for Congressman Wright Patman
of Texas, who is forever warning
on the chains. '.r..-.-

Latin American
Friendship Pacts

WASHINGTON. July |. (UP)
The senate on Tuesday gave 4
hearty "okay" to the Latin Amer
lean good neighbor" policy. pur-
sued by President Roosevelt when
it promptly ratified eight treaties
giving concrete expression to the
fraternal and peaceful purposes
of the American republics.
The treaties had been. adopted
at the BuenoS Aires peace con-
ference, held last December, and
were transmitted to the senate
on May rs.
The senate also ratified Il
United Statca-McXico treaty by
which this country waived transit
privileges across the lsthmus Of
Tehuantepac. a privilege original
ly established in the Gadsdcn
treaty of 1853 for the benefit of
pioneers en- route to and from
California.
The pactS, approved mani-
mously, represent a consolidation
and extension of existing peace
machinery among the American
republics. In addition, there are
major innovations in the fact that
the principles of intcr-Amcrican
consultation to prevent war legal
ly is established and a binding
obligation is recognized not to

MAN PLAGUED MOSTLY BY HIS OWN
FOLLIES
(By BRUCE CATION

NY DhOSE VAIL OAD
A new form of bubonic plague is preva-
lent among animals in the western United
States and it may spread to the east and
become extremely dangerous to man.
So says DR.. C. r. Eskey of the U. S. Pub
lie Health Service, in az address before the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science, in Denver ;..r... ,....
Ever since 1908, it has been known that
certain ground squirrels in California have
been carrying the bacillus pests, which is
responsible for the disease that in times
past has decimated whole continents. With
in the last two years, says DR.. Eskey, it has
been discovered that the malady is spread
ing among small animals in seven other
states. 1t has turned up in Utah, for in
stance, IN region separated from Cali
fornia by wide desert-indicating that
no natural barriers will check its spread.
So far, the victims have been squirrels
for the most part But it would not take
a very outlandish combination of circum-
stances to promote this plague from its
present status as ravisher of ground squir-
rels to advance agent fer the Angel OF
Death among American human beings. -
There is no need to worry very much
about it. 1t probably won't happen-and,
if it did, the science and organization are
available to check it. But it is worth specu-
lating about briefly, just the same. .....
Suppose bubanic plague should sudden
ly begin to spread-in America, in Europe
and in Asia The civilized nations of the
world would at once Unite to stamp it out.
The best brains and the best equipment
would be marshalled for the job, and a
great international campaign to save lives
would be started. -.. ...
Scientists from Germany, America, ia
pan and all other countries would work
side by side; there would be the most COM
plete cooperation, and it would last until
the last vestige of danger had disappeared.
For when this race of ours gets really
frightened-when it has to stand face to
face with the grim speeter of natures hos
tility-it can achieve an inverted but eff
fective kind of brotherhood. 1t can forget
its rivalries, its jealousies and its suspicious
and concentrate magnifcently on the job of
making the world safe place to live in.
But consider, now, the danger the world
actually faces today. Not bubonic plague,
but war; not natural pestilence, but a
man-made peril-which, m its destructive
effects, would be, FIVE times worse than any
plague that ever existed. Where is the in
ternational cooperation to avert this dan
ger? Where is the marshaling of the best
minds, the sinking of old enmities, to make
the world safe place to live in?
Nowhere. We can meet any challenge
our environment throws in our faces; but
the greatest challenge of all-the one that
arises from our own greed and blindness
we cannot meet. We can conquer all our
enemies, it seems, except ourselves. a, g.:

March Ushered In Like Lamb

March was ushered in this year much
like a lamb and comparative warm
weather has been in evidence since
that time during the day with tempera-
lures rising above the fifty mark.
While patches of snow still remain
today's sun will have the effect of
making much of it disappear. Weather
for maple sugar producers has been
ideal.
The coolest day of the year since
December %, was also recorded dur
ing the past week, the thermometer
having reached zero last Thursday
evening about o'clock. On Friday
morning, however, it had risen to 6
above. Two inches of snow was re-
corded on Friday with the temperature
about 20, and snow continued slightly
on Saturday.

WILL CONDUCT SURVEY ON
REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS
Completeness Of Filing to be
Tested by Federal Census Bureau

The completeness of the registration
of births in Maryland is to be tested
in a survey to be conducted by the U.
S. Bureau of the Census in cooperation
with the State Department of Health,
in two or more counties on the Eastern
Shore.
In announcing the plans for the sur
vey, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health explained
that it is preliminary to a more COM
prehensive campaign to obtain as
close to 100 per cent registration in
the State as it is possible to achieve.
Some areas in the State, he said
already have nearly complete regis
tration; in others, notably the more
rural sections, it is believed that the
deficiency may prove to be as great
as 10 per cent.
Birth registration, he continued,
"is assuming increasing Importance
year by year. The demand for infor-
nation relative to birth certificates
has been at least trebled during the
last ten years. Copies of birth certi-
ficates are being demanded for such
purposes as entry into school, for
work permits, to establish the right to
inheritances, to secure passports, to
some extent to obtain automobile
drivers licenses and for many other
uses. The recent social security legis-
lation is also making it more essential
than ever for every child to be
registered"
The Maryland survey has been
planned and will be supervised, DR..
Riley said, on behalf of the Census
Bureau by DR.. George Dobbs, acting
in cooperation with DR.. A. w. Hedrich,
Chief of the Bureau of Vital Statistics
of the State Department of Health.
DIR. John Collinson, who recently left
the Department to become associated
with the Federal Census Bureau,
assited in planning and promoting the
project.
