Another ChacO War?

Before another sundown in trans
equatorial South America, that CONT
nent may be face to face with renewal
of the bloodiest conflict in its history
the three-year war between Bolivia and
Paraguay, which cost more than 100000
lives, almost bled those small states
white, and since 1885 has defied the un-
biased efforts Of six mediating sister
American nations to bring about an
agreeable peace. On Sunday the arbi-
trating states-Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Peru. the United States and Uruguay
virtually abandoned hope that the So
called Chaco peace conference, which
has been In unbroken session at Buenos
Aires for three years, could reach any
durably acceptable conclusion.
The conference prevailed upon the
Bol!vians to put over until tomorrow
their apparently irrevocable unwilling
ness to consider Paraguay's long g-de-
layed counter proposal. This was sub
mitted after the neutral powers had
III uP pSoSC PioiA Va tiiClI oNAA
Bolivia Immediately accepted it, but
Paraguay demurred because it ceded the
Bolivians port on the upper Paraguay
River. Having won the war, the Para
guayans were unwilling as victors. to
surrender territory to the vanquished
It was then, with the patience of Job,
that the mediaters asked Paraguay to
present a counter-pr proposal. AS this CO.
incided with the conferences suggested
frontier at no point, would, in fact, leave
Paraguay In possession Of the entire
Chaco area. the Bolivians comprehen-
sibly proclaimed further discussion use
less.
The Buenos Aires mediators neverthe-
less are warning the Asuncion and
La Paz delegations of the heavy respon-
hbihty that will be theirs If they permit
Bolivian and Paraguayan blood to re-
now. At a time when, as the Swedish
Bishop said at Wilmington yesterday,
"men are drifting apart" it would be

Is henbility enough in the spacious
Buenos Aires agreements Of 1885 to per-
NIT nineteen Americas to say, in Lam
guage brooking no contempt, that the
two others, independent though they be
within their own dominions, have no
right to jeopardize the peace Of the
hemisphere, in which they are rela-
lively minor, though sovereign, units.
It is not the privilege Of Paraguay and
Bolivia to make travesty OF American
solidarity in an hour when there was
never graver need for its maintenance.

rabies cannot be curbed by the
use of vaccines alone. Rabies can be
controlled and can be eliminated.
Foreign health and veterinary oficials
visiting the Department Of Agriculture
often express surprise that the United
States, which has eliminated the dread
hoof-and-mouth disease that aflicts
cloven-footed animals, and which Is
far more virulent, far more infectious
and more difncult to eradicate than
rabies, still has the dubious distinc-
ton Of being one Of the most rabid
Of all modern, progressive countries.
There are recognized methods Of
curbing rabies, and these methods
have been used with perfect results
in England and Hawaii. These meth
DDS, however, are Intellectual without
cooperation Of the dog-owniig pub
lie and without adequate appropria-
tions for law enforcement. Fore
most among the rabies CURRIERS' comes
the licensing Of all dogs, strictly en-
forced. Then there must be COM
plete elimination Of all strays. Stray
dogs constitute the chief rabies men,
ace, and in order to eliminate rabies
strays must be destroyed. Third, there
must be quarantine Of all animals
coming into the country.
Quarantine Is the rock upon which
many anti-rabies resolutions break.
England erforces q six-month quaran-
tine law against all incoming dogs.
