Ten Years of Higher Hyprocrisy

It is just 10 years ago that President Hoover proclaimed effective the Kellogg Pact, designed to outlaw forever war as an instrument of national policy among the 59 nations which signed it. With Aris- tide Briand, Frances great postwar peacemaker, Kellogg hoped and believed that they had helped put the nations or the world on new track toward peace and amity.
 The world hoped so, too, weary with postwar wranglng and the failure to make good on the war promises that means would be taken to make 1t the last war. But what was uShered in With the Kellogg-Briand pact was not the higher statesnanship. but the higher hypocrisy. What was outlawed was not war itself, put the word war.
 In 1881 when Japan seized Manchuria and turned it into Manchukuo the United States, Britain, China, and other powers called Japan's attention to the fact that they had all signed the Kellogg-Briand pact. Japan returned diplomatic shrug and grinned that this was not war; this was merely the suppression Of unreason- able opposition to Japanese influence III Manchuria.
 When Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1885, the attention of Rome was called to the fact that both nations had signed the Kellogg -Briand treaty But this wasn't war, the Italians insisted. This was mere colonial expedition aimed at pacl- fying Ethiopian tribesmen who could not understand the benefits of Italian influ- ence in their country.
 By the time Germany and Italy were sending their troops to Spain, and China and Japan became locked in three-year death struggle everybody was too tired to call attention to the fact that they had all formally renounced war as an lnstru. ment of national policy. The million dead in Spain, and millions dead in China hao died in something, but not in war.
 Thus the high spot of all time in inter. national hypocrisy has been quickly ana neatly achieved. The 59 nations solemnly agreed not to wage war, and not one or them has dared to denounce the pact or withdraw its signature. They just go on waging war, and calling it something elSe It is the higher hypocrisy in action
 Yet there is something significant in the fact that none of these warning powers has formally denounced it's signature or formally withdrawn from its agreements. It is because they all know that deep Tn the hearts of their people lies the wish for peace And while they do not give the peoples peace, they dare not formally and officially say that they care nothing for this desire.

Scout training was instrumental to some degree in saving the life of young Dom Fender lost for eight days in the woods of northern Maine. There was widespread in- terest and sympathy when, as day followed day, nothing was heard of the twelve year old scout who wandered away by him. self. Great was the rejoicing yesterday when one read the news that the boy was found, and the joy of his family can well be imagined. While lost the boy wandered over thirty miles, never sec ing anything, but woods ahead of him, behind him, and beside him. The terror and despair of those days and nights can well be imagined, although youth has much more optimism than adult age. And so the boy pushed ahead, endeavor- ing to apply his Boy Scout learning, eat ing berries, and hoping to get out, which he did. No one can say what would have happened to the boy if he had not the scout training and was just another lost boy. This just happened to be one of those adventures meant to have happy ending

Thanks, M'Lady!

Some person called the Marquess of Donegal is writing pieces for the British press in which she essays to unfold to her London public the American mind.
 The east, averred this lady, is against isolation, but she adds that informed isolationism here (the east) is better than middlewestern moronism."
 Those are harsh words, m'lady, and scarcely of the most diplomatic. For good middlewestern blood was also shed in France in 1918, and was not unwelcome, we were told, even in London. But let it pass, let is pass. It is only to be expected that every country will have its morons. The only difference is in the degree of relative distinction they achieve. In some countries, it would appear, such modest mental status is not even a bar to titles of honor and distinction

What Eyes!

The Christian Science Monitor relates of the appearance of new-type of sea monster in the waters at the mouth of the Columbia River. This strange speci- men of aquae diabolis conforms to many specifications that have gone before, but the Monitor notes one changed feature. It's the eyes. The Columbia River sea serpent has eyes that appeared to the observer to resembele hot-cross buns. And says the Monitor, "One might easily fin ish the mental picture with ears made of cream puffs, and the whole body con- posed of gingerbread. -"
 Yes, but one point is overlooked. What does hot-croSS bun of the Columbia River region baking resemble. There are hot-crosS buns and hot-croSS buns. Every year new variety appears. Some like lem hot; some like 'em cold Personally, we'll take them warm, but it's the appear ance that counts. We've seen them decorated with everything in the line of fancy frosting, whereas, we feel sure that your original hot-cross bun was no such dainty confection as this.
 The Monitor missed golden opportun- ity here to speculate on the type of hot cross bun eyes of this West Coast sea monster. It intrigues us and also dis turbs us. We want to know what the residents up there at the mouth of the Columbia River call a hot-cross bun. It might be a crueller or doughnut or fried-cake which certainly right here in New England would produce the merriest of free-for-all discussions on the exact appearance of the sea serpent's eyes.
 All we know now is that it had eyes like a hot-cross bun. That's not limited enough and the observer might just as well have said it had eyes like Parker House roll. There's a vivid description for you; no groping around to wonder what far-away region might be having forced upon it's gullible palate for hot cross buns.

Unemployment Dwindles

The best news of many months is the estimate of the National Industrial Con- ference Board that unemployment has for the first time since last December fallen below 10,000,000. Forty-four and half million working - less than 10,- 100000 not working. That is the score as of May, the latest estimate, with every trend indicating that as of June and probably July, more people were working, fewer not working.
 Of course it is not enough of dent in the problem - basically it remains. But if autumn sees the figure cut to 8,000,000, with the jobs boosted to 46,000,000, the direction at least will be right. And di- rection, these days, is everything.

WORTH GROWING OVER
(Meriden Journalj

Danbury, through its News, claims modestly to have provided free park ing faciliti in its immediate busi- ness district on scale "unequalled in other Connecticut cities" and not surpassed anywhere in the nation.
 Good; it's reminder of when Waterbury lsed to boast of having something on everybody" But Dan- bury's achievement is worth crow ing over. A huge parking field ies directly in the rear of Main street and buildings had to be razed to make 1t. There are ramps to make the going easy and the ground IS oiled to keep down the dust.
 Hats may be tipped to the Busi- ness Mems association whose mem bers chose this sensible way of pleas ing the shoppers in the Hat Town. You don't have to cruise around n Danbury to find :. place to park the car in ord-- to do some trading, nor does one have to put nickel in the slot.
 Meriden shines among Connccti- cut tow"s in having e free munic- ipal parking lot In the center. It IS heavily patronized but largely by all. day parkers, who were encouraged to get on the streets to make room for shoppers. Bit there st1lI isnt enough room for the temporary parkers on the streets; may never be,

HUMOROUS. BUT LINGERING

 Of some deadly direful draft Lingering but not too subtle,
 Brew me, with your utmost craft Something with a latent venom Leisurely, but sure as fate For there are some public enemies plan to liquidate require lethal potion
 To correct the sad mistake Of the cooks who have the notion That shortcake's made with cake. Also would fain dSsemi-

 In their so-called apple pies. Chemist, slip me stuff to slaughter Chefs who make New England Chowder"- With tomato juice and water;
 And I'd like poison powder Whichl put funeral taper

 Who sells yeast and plotting paper As Old-Fashioned Home-Made Bread Fire burn and cauldron bubble With a dose that's wholly evil Which'll cause consistent trouble In the innards of the weevil Who disguises meats and fishes With highly seasoned sauce And improves" our native dishes So that they're a total loss; Brew me stuff from witches caverns Which will lay upon their biers Cooks in restaurants and taverns Who have poisoned me for yearsl

 Henry Wallace has found new amusement to brighten his daily walk from the Wardman Park Hotel to the Department of Ag- riculture. Usually he makes this walk with Jim Le Cron or Milo Perkins-top-ranking aides in the department-and they chat as they walk.
 But Wallace, who used to play tennis regularly, wanted to exer- else more than his legs and his jaw. First he tried throwing golf balls ahead of him ashewalked through the lower Potomac Park way. This was amusing but ex- PSAAcAFCt bCNuhoC OiiS bhiio WCAO not always retrieved.
 Le Cron, scratching his head for something retrievable, hit upon the Australian boomerang. This is a piece of light wood, carefully curved and shaped, used by na- tives of Australia as a missile wea- pon.
 Le Cron was able to buy few boomerangs, and he himself made others. When he and the Secre- tary first tried them. they acted like a pair of boys with a new glider. Their two best play plots are the polo field and the Mon- ument grounds, both being en route to the department.
 The trick is to toss the boom- erang in such a way that 1t will return not exactly to the spot from which 1t was tossed but to a spot few paces ahead, so that the tosser can keep on walking and tossing without breaking his pace,

arfe parading ot the auction block
 Charles s. Schwab, the steel magnate, offered his massive and imposing dwelling on Riverside Drive as a mayoral residence to the city and was courteously re- buffed. The city didn't want 1t and the upkeep, apparently, makes 1t prohibitive for Mir. Schwab to dwell there.
 Only few weeks ago, the late Otto H. Kahn's 86-room chateau on Long Island was turned over, at a nominal sales price, to the r1ew York street cleaners as country recreation al center.
 Eddie Cantor just offered his luxurious house in Great Neck to a worthy charity, but there have been no takers, because of the costly taxes.
 The late Clarence McKay's huge mansion on Long Island is in disuse and is on the market, but t,:e purchasing prospecst have been scarce. And Mrs. Ed ward. Stotesbury's place near Philadelphia, which cost in the neighborhood of two and a half million dollars to erect, is avail able to anyone who cares to meet a ridiculously low price.
 And near our house in the country is the estate once owned by Jules Cartier, the fabulous jeweler of Paris, London and New York. A modest mansion of some 78 rooms, 1t is withered by disuse and up to its figurative ears in overhead.
 You can buy one of them cheaply and 1t won't be the ini- tial cost so much as the upkeep, for the taxes are high and the running expenses are not for folk whs live on a budget.
