Militant Britain May Better Serve Paeifsm

didn't stop. For Britain was not
ready for a war, and MusSolini
knew it. Britain beat a humiliat-
ing retreat, the League of Nations
fell mortally i'll and the cause of
collective security and information
al decency suffered a terrible blow
in the solar plexus.
The. same thing occurred when
Hitler reoccupied the Rhineland
and threw the last scraps of thSH
Versailles treaty out the windo
Once again England was in no
shape to do more than utter mean
ingless protests. Once again the
league was flouted, and collective
security walloped.
Last of all came the Spanish re-
volt. Here, too, British diplomacy
was helpless. AS a democracy, Bri-
tain had to stand by and watch
autocracy entrench itself on the
peninsula. Chief support of the lea
que she was helpless before an in
ternational clique that fought an
undeclared war on the terriory of
supposedly free and independent ma
ton
Now the policy the British fol-
lowed through all this was not, as
writer in the current issue of For
tune Magazine points out, policy
to enforce peace: it was a poll -
to avoid war There is a vast dN
ference. Because Britain refused to
take risks, Europe was left at the
mercy of dictators who were ready
to fight if they did not get what
they wanted.
If England now re-arms at a
| prodigious rate, who can blame her
Or feel that the action is men,

Britain which is all to obviously

AN EXAMPLE ANY CITY
MIGHT WE'LL FOLLOW

Jersey City, N. J., about which most
of us know only some of the Jokes New
Workers tell, has accomplished some
thing that every city in Imperial Valley
and anywhere else, for that matter
should envy. For the third successive
year, jersey City operated during 1886
on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Cash collections of S27, ,541,781 were
1926. 6.495 greater than disbursements dur
ing the year. AS of Dec 81, the city's free
cash surplus was S1,309,995. AS re-
suit. the 1887 budget indicates large
reduction in the tax rate.
We do not know howgit was done, but
the method would be a good one for study
by any other city, Judging by results

NOW THEY'RE HUNTING
THE CLOSET

Diplomacy is one thing, politics an
other; at least in America. Americans,
it seems, must have their politics. Tucka-
hoe, N. Y, might be lampooning the en-
tire United Staes, if the town weren't
in deadliest earnest.
Tuckahoe has made a political issue
of skeleton. The trouble is, no one
knows what closet the skeleton is in,
and the Democrats are making much OF
it. The skeleton is that of the towns
own unknown soldier of the Revolu-
tionary War, dug up in 1922. At that
time President Harding and state gov
ernors sent wreaths and messages.
Now Democratic city officials, at
tempting to oust Republican officials IN
a forthcoming city election, charge the
Republicans with having mislaid or lost
the skeleton.
A lot of political issues are on the
same plane Sss

If the $7,5O0,000 preparedness
program which Great Britain is
launching brings pain to the pacl-
fists. they might reflect that it is
pacifism which is largely respon-
sible for it.
During the last half dozen years,
British foreign policy was motivat-'
ed by Just one desire-to keep out
of war at any cost.
To a very great extent, this is
responsible for the parlous look OF
things in Europe today. 1t was this,
as much as anything, which Grip
pied the League of Nations, and
which made it possible for gang
ster diplomacy to have things its
own way.
A great deal of the saber- -rattling
which has disturbed the world of
late would never have taken place
if the British government had not
SHE'D skittishly away from every
risk Of war.
When peace came in 1918. the
British people had a complete sto-
machful of WARRIOR which, when
you inspect the casualty lists, you
can cardly blame them. The average
Briton didn't want to hear the
word mentioned. The government

budgets
For a decade and half there
after, the government drifted
along, trusting that the League OF
Nations and the general war-weari-
ness of the world would keep things
peaceful.
Then things began to happen. En-
couraged by the way Japan got
away with the strong-arm stuff in
Manchuria, Mussolini elbowed his
way into Ethiopia. Britain immed-
