AE INHERITED

EOSEFh R1LSUOShl was a SOs y cial revolutionary working for the future of Poland when the World War burst on Europe. He met Edward Smigly-Rydz. 1m- pressed by the patriotism and the bearing of this young man, he chose him as his first disciple. Followed the great war, Poland's freedom and the rise of Pilsudski as master of his country.
 In May, 1885, Pilsudski died. He left this testament: T appoint Gen. Edward Smigly-Rydz first defender of the fatherland. ." A few days later, President Ignacy Moscicki announced the elevation of Smigly-Rydz to the post of In- spector General of the Forces. Thus Poland's new dictator was catapulted into his job.
 And strenuous job it is! For Smigly-Rydz, now only 51, is no ordinary dictator. He is, instead, guiding hand, a strong figure in the background, tradition. His nation lies between Red Russia and Nazi Germany-can he keep these enemies apart? His nation is republic surrounded by iron rule-can he preserve the national unity? r.

A GAIN Senator Nye quotes
"A the Havana Convention Of
1928, signed by the Republics OF
the Americas, barring inSur-
gents, as justification for his
stand. He forgets these points:
The United States ratified this
agreement, but many other ma
tons did not. The treaty applies
only to North and South Amer
lea, and not other parts of the
world. The one exception is
China, covered by the words: "A
country in which the United
States has extraterritorial juriS-
diction."
Mr.. Nye states that it has
been the traditional policy OF
the United States to bar NUM-
lions to unrecognized insurgents
in other parts Of the world. Such
again Is not true in fact or his
tory. Our own American Revolu-
ton was successful largely be-
cause of the munitions ship
ments that came from France
when the French had not yet
recognized the American ReVolu-
ton.
The Spanish arms embargo
comes from two sources-the
Joint resolution of January,
1887, and the Neutrality Act OF
May, 1887. Mr.. Nye wants to
get rid of the January resolution.
This applies only to the Spanish
civil war. It bars only the ship
ment of American munitions.
It was mandatory, liftable only
when the war in Spain is ended.
The resolution left no discretion
to the PreSident--aS does the
Neutrality act.
The May Neutrality Act both
ers the Barcelona government
little. What it wants to knock
down is the American embargo
act Of January. This cannot be
done until the war ends-OR
CONGRESS REPEALS THAT
RESOLUTION. Mr.. Nye has
proposed that repeal. Repeal
would involve the United States
in a European war the instant
the ink upon it became dry.

Congress adopts the suggestion,
it may well become the cause Of
a new world war. A sweeping
assertion. Yes. Prove 1t? Here
goes:
First. 1t Is implied that under
international law. q government
is obligated to allow its citizens
to ship arms to other recognized
governments. Actually, there Is
no such accepted principle in
law. A governments only obi
CATION is to treat all belligerents
alike. But, during the last $50
years, many nations have

shipments while they were NEU.
TRAILS. The United States is q
neutral country and not at war
with Spain.
Senator Nye implied, In offer
ing his resolution, that if it were
adopted by Congress the United
States would be obligated to re-
fuse arms to the insurgents, but
permit them to the Barcelona
government. Mr.. Nye ignores
international law. There Is no
rule which requires a neutral to
refuse arms shipments to un-
recognized insurgents. An at
tempt to cover such a situation
was made at Geneva in 1925, but
failed through nonratification. It
is q fact, however, that nations
may adopt such a policy as a
matter Of domestic law, If they

tome points out that Aroostook
county, Maine, Is one Of the
largest producers. There it flat
ly concludes:
when potato prices are high
Aroostook county is well off;
when prices are low 1t suffers"
The study was made, not by
unemployed potato growers, but
by white collar workers, as one
Of the national research projects.
When a news-man chided the
bureau chief in charge Of the
thing, he responded:
We'll, we gotta keep 'em at

This seems to be a more COM
plete and clearer exposition of
WPA policy than was presented
either on the air waves or before
Congress.

ITO PREVENT just such a

resolution was the first order Of
business in the January, 1887,

to either side as being contrary
to our policy of noninterference

Mr.. r. Gets Bad NeuUs

MIR. ROOSEVELT received
AVA some very bad news which
did not get into the papers, as
soon as he returned from his
fishing trip. Word came to him
officially from Congress that he
would not get his required lump
sum appropriation in the spend
bill. His Senate and House
leaders brought it to him, prob
ably in their Monday morning
conference. or shortly there
after.
The bill will appropriate the
particular sums requested di.
rectly to each Government de-
partment.
Mr.. Roosevelt is reported to
have withStood the shock well.
Probably he appreciated that
each Government department
chief is responsible to him and
not to Congress, so the differ.
ence may be largely technical.
While such a restriction would
prevent him from Shufflipg ap-
preparations between depart
mer1ts, he can shuttle all he
wants within the bounds Of each
departmental appropriation.

Checking on NeUsmsn

THE White House has directed
l. a Government press clipping
bureau to keep daily track Of
predictions and reports circu-
lated by all Washington news
men more closely than formerly.
The bureau is operated by a
woman and is housed in the
Commerce Department. News
Of the venture has been circu-
lated rather freely inside the
press corps here.
The newSmen seem to have no
objection provided the campaign
to detect inaccuracies is extended
to Administration leaders tn
Congress. They told their legis-
latorS for months that there
would be no new legislation sent
up by FDR to prolong the seS-
sion. Then came the recovery
program, the anti-monopoly mes
sage, the proposal to ban bank
holding companies. revision Of
the housing act, the reciprocal
tax exempt proposal and some
others.
There is no movement to ex-
tend the inaccuracy detection
campaign to Mr.. Roosevelt who
said the budget would be bal
anced, that only one and a half
billions of new money would be
needed for the spend-lend pro-
gram, ETC., etc.

makeup, of course. She sees

But the majority of the let

Q. What is the correct way
to address a letter to a widow?
A. Use her husbands name
prefved by Mrs, as "Mrs.
Charles Wentworth" not Mrs.
Martha Wentworth"
Q. Are ornate place cards
still considered in good taste
for a large dinner?
a. 1t is in better taste to
use simple white cards on which
the guests names are written
in pen and ink. These cards are
used merely TO avoid confusion.

Only after they have done
something about skin or figure
faults do they ask about make
up and about using perfume.
So, less fussing mothers, about
your daughter. She is wise. Just
help her appreciate the impor-
tance of cleanliness and health,
and gradually introduce her to
all of your own beauty and
makeup aids.
Pomade or lipstick for
school? Pomade certainly. 1t
prevents her lips from chapping
when she must face the chilly
wind to school and back again.
1t helps keep the natural color
in fresh, young lips.
Some mothers even allow a
tinted pomade or rich oily lip
stick in a light, subdued color.
I'm not in favor of the latter,

however, except for her most
important parties.
If a girl is healthy she should
have good natural glow to her
cheeks and lips that makes
rouge or lipstick unnecessary.
If your teen age girl is pale
and listless, take her to see the
family physician at once. She
may need no more than a tonic
to give her a better appetite.
more carefully supervised diet
or more outdoor exercise, but
see that she gets it at once.
Growing girls are especially
susceptible to tuberculosis when
they are allowed to become
thin, nervous and underweight.
Every girl should have her
own jar of all-purpose cream
for soothing chapped face and
hands and for protecting her
skin when she joins her friends
in their outdoor sports.
The cream should be applied
sparingly, then the face splashed
with cold water and patted dry
with a soft towel. After this
she should apply a complexion
powder that matches her skin
tones and pomade to protect
her lips.
A good face powder will not
harm the skin Of the young girl
if she is taught how important
it is to cleanse the skin with
soap and water at night so it
cannot become imbedded in the
pores.
Powder helps protect the
skin from sun, wind and cold
and sometimes it actually helps
clear up an oily complexion.
Stress the value of soap and
water and a complexion brush
to keep her skin scrupulously
clean and the circulation lively.
If the circulation is good the oil
glands in the skin have a better
chance of functioning normally.
If the skin is kept scrupulously
clean there is less danger Of in
lection by the bacteria that
cause that most dreaded skin
disease of youth-acne.
Two daily washings with soap
and water are needed to insure
the health and beauty of the
skin. Use the complexion brush
W tn a light, circular movement
upward. This stimulates as we'll
as cleanses the skin. Finish the
complexion brush treatment
with warm, then cold, water
rinsin2s.
