What Other Editors Say
In Self-Defensc

The idea that Britain is armmg at terrlIic Speeo
because she has an imperialiStic program does hel
Injustice She is arming to save herself ana VAe
liberties of the world from the deadheSt peril IllaC
civilization has faced during the last hundred years
It was the glorification of war and conquest py
Fascist nations and the thoroughnesS OF theT
preparatons to impose their will on the rest OF the
world that drove the peace minded British people
and government into building up their detenceS
with a view to avertng the impending attack or
defeating 1t.
Prof Gilbert Murray is a practical pacltlst He
told League of Nations Union meeting recently
that the rearmament policy of Britain already had
had a wonderful effect throughout Europe, where
it has caused noffenSive but apprehenslVe nations
to give a sigh of relief. The impression previously
had prevailed that Hitler and Mussollnl were II
resistible and would control Europe. This view has
been shaken and glimmer Of hope has arisen
that perhaps after all the forces opposing the
FascistS may be formidable enough to restrain the
dictators Professor Murray's own view seems to be
pessimistic. He says. I'VE shall not get general
peace in Europe until MusSolini and Hitler have
tried and failed Toronto Star Weekly.

Prime Minister Baldwin, in what may DC
his last speech to to the district he has SO
long represented in Parliament, spoke WISE
words which men everywhere ought to pom
der.
When he first came to the district III l9OS,
he said. he drove with pair OF horses; to-
dav he comes in motor car, at forty miles
an hour. The fact is a symbol, parable, a
portent
Today we arc impatient, in hurry, and
want to 90 places and do things quickly.
But. I'VE must not try to confuse accelera-
ton with civilization, because they really
have nothing to do with each other.
There is our danger, too Some people
not MANY. but a few-talk glibly, even
wildly and loosely, about sudden changes in
our basic law, and we must look out Tor
them and head them OIL.
Ideas are very dangerous things, the
former prime minister says especially the
exotic ideas of Communism and FasclSm
now running rife, ideas alien to the genius
of English-speaking folk.
These ideas are all the more dangerous
when thev use the methods of mechanical
ton, matcrialism and mass-movcmcnt. as
has been done in Russia Germany, Italy and
in other lands as WE'LL
In modern history. he adds, there can have
been no such movement of ideas except the
period of the Reformation and the French
Revolution. and we must not let ourselves
be swept off our fee.
To attempt rapid and violent changes in
our constitution law, he insists, is to invite
disaster. The constitution cannot be changed
at sixty miles an hour without complete
wreck.
Quick changes can only be brought about
bv force. and the use of force means the loss
of that liberty without which we do not
believe that life itself would be worth the
living.
These alien ideas. he adds. cannot be
grated on our system ANY more than you
can graft a Siberian crab on to an oak.
Here arc grave and wise words, and we dare
not toss them aside

WHERE THE TALL FOREST CROWS

Oh take me out there where the tall forest grows,
Where the pines point their tips to the sky,
Where the basswood and balsam their fragrance
disperse,
And the elm filings it's limbs wide and high;
Where the moose and the deer seek a sanctuary
home
From the proWl of the wolf and the bear,
Where the nuthatch and creeper and vireo chant,
In that big, wild cathedral out there;
Where the wind lullabys in soft grooming way
Where the sturdy old oak throws its gnarled rugged
limbs,
And the ivy around his trunk tWineS;
Where the wild Arctic owl boots his love song at
night,
And the whip -poor-w calls to his mate,
Where the forest expanse knows no trammel of
man,
By invention of hedge, fence or gate.
Where the warm summer sun filters down through
the leaves,
Flecking fanciful figures and forms,
Where the moon shines at night with shmmery
sheen,
And the virgin wild cares not for storms:
Far away from the gamor of late Turing lights,
From where turbulent commerce now flows.
Where there's peace and contentment. serenitys
calm,
Take me back where the tall forest grows

PRESIDENT RooSevelt'S
defeat in the matter OF
the Supreme Court re-
END OF A
HONEYMOON

engineered as it was in great part by MEM
bcrs of his own party, hardly warrants the
belief that the attainment OF fundamental
New Deal obiectiveS is no longer possible
If the Republican strategy OF remaining
in the background and leaving the onuS OF
opposing the President to members OF his
own political faith, deprived his supporters
of the advantage of raising the party issue
ON the bill. it at the same time removed the
final result of the battle from the category
of Republican victory.
The Democratic majority in both houses
remains undiminished, and If President
Roosevelt accepts his reverse with the cqua-
nmitv that may be expected of him. there
is little doubt that a large part of his basic
obIcclivcs MAY be obtained Privileged as he
is to fill the Supreme Court vacancy with a
Justice who can cast the deciding vote in a
court now evenly divided between liberal
and conservative, it should be no great task
for Congress to frame measures which
would carry out fundamental reforms and
at the same time come within a liberal i'll
terprctaiOn of the Constitution.
Wide as has appeared the rift within the
party. heated as has been the debate on the
court issue. the wounds are not past healing.
Unless someone blundcrs sadly the family
quarrel should come to signalize, not a
house divided against itself, but merely the
end Of the honeymoon.

I flies were bad in MonteVldeo,
Hoover accepted his resignation
with enthusiasm.
Then finding no one rushing
forth to use his services, Harrison
linked up with his old friend
Henry P. Fletcher, recently chair
man of the Republican National
Committee, then chairman Of the
Tariff Commission.
And it was not until the advent
of the Roosevelt Administration
that Leland'S career friends took
pity on him anl put him back on
the list of American plenipoten-
tiaries. He is now going to Swift
zerland to replace Hugh Wilson as
Minister.
Joshua Butler Wright made
himself famous during the
Coolidge kellogg days with his
top hat, stick and spats, which ap-
peared punctiliously at the Union
Station to meet every visiting
dignitary. From this job he got
himself promoted to be Minister
to Hungary.
Wright is a good soldier, goes
where he is ordered, tries to carry
out orders and has been made
Ambassador to Cuba in order to
carry out WaShington'S orders re-
gading the Batista dictatorship.
Hugh Gibson has charm,
winsome personality, and belongs
to the old school of diplomacy
which believes that there is little
| to be gained by telling the truth.
He was among the little clique
which promoted itself up the lad
der during the Kellogg-Coolidge
days getting the lush plum OF Am
baSSador to Belgium.
Roosevelt, who didn't like him
at first, pulled him down the lad
d1r-or at least Gibson SO conSid-
cred ito be Ambassador to
Brazil. and Hugh has been man
euvering ever since to get back to
Europe. Finally his friend Sum-
ner WelleS interviewed to restore
| his old Job as Ambassador to
! Belgium.
William Phillips. Harvard 90, is
a lovable but none-too- -hrilliant
character. whom Hoover let go
from the career service when
Phillips insisted on becoming Am
baSSador to Rome.
Roosevelt came to his rescue,
first making him Under Secretary
then finally fulfilling his lifelong
ambition by giving him the Rome
appointment.
At this post, Phillips has been
kind. COnSiderate, but none too
we'll posted as TO what is going on
in the important capital Of Italy.
So the State Department has
now hoiSted up the career ladder
to be his counselor and listening
post, Ed Reed, young man who
was a nonentity as chief of the
Mexican Division and who as Sec
rctary Hull'S personal assistant at
the Buenos Aires Conference. dis
appeared in evening clothes for
most of a day
BY such gentlemen are the
foreign affairs Of the United
States conducted at a time when
the clouds of war darken the
worlds horizon. A story on the
efficient reorganization of that
part of the State Department
which is in Washington will fol-

THE BLACK tcrdav wired Senator
CONNERY BILL Bailey congratulations

IHE BLACh- tcrday wired Senator
CONNERY BILL Bailey congratulations
on the defeat of t h G
Presidents court measure and implorcd him
at the same time to resist passage of the
Black-Conncry bill with all his might.
The Black -Conncry bill, an Administra-
ton proposal to establish fair labor stand
ards" for all industries engaged in interstate
commerce is the same old Blue Eagle, cX-
ccpt that it cOnfidcs to the hands of a Labor
Standards Board the business of establishing
codes which, under the old NRA, industries
were permitted to draft for themselves.
1t is a measure loaded with dynamite for
lOw-wa9c industries, especially in the South
SOuthcrp pine lumber interests, with wage
scales under which common labor fares lit
tie better than the lowcst-paid farm help,
are panicky.
This newspaper, while forever opposed to
the low wages offered i'm the Southern pine
industry, nevertheless feels that the enact
mcnt of the Black-Conncry bill would be
discriminatory and unfair to the South If
wage standards are lower in the South, it
is also distrcssngly true that labor standards
are below that of the North. The more eff
cient Northern workman under Yankee man
agcmcnt generally produces more than the
Southern workman. To establish the same
wages for labor North and South would
have the effect of closing many Southern
industry whose only ability to compete with
the North is by reason of its cheap labor
supply. On the other hand it may be argued
that the efficiency and productivity of South
ern labor has been largely impaired by its
age-long subjection to long working hours
and inadequate wages.
