There are other alternatives
which but for the political influ-
ence of 'isolationists" in the United
States would now be engaging the
attention of the whole world. The
trouble which Europe has faced
since the Inflated Versailles treaty
has been to no small extent the
outgrowth of the greed and selfish
ness on the part of Great Britain
and France in their absolute refusal
to treat the German republic fairly
and justly, loading impossible rep
arations on the backs of the Ger
man people and keeping the coun-
try in state of economic subjec-
ton by exhausting demands for
cash and raw materials as punitive
payment for the war.
No Certainty of Fairness.
The colonies which were Wrested
from Germany in Africa and else
where were put by the Versailles
treaty under mandates" which
were supposed to be a sort of
"trusteeship" and were not to con-
stitute permanent annexation of
territory to the countries, appointed
as trustees Faced by economic
strangulation and a debasement of
their monetary system, the German
people were persuaded to believe
that by abandoning their republic
and accepting Nazi-ism they would
be liberated from economic adver-
sity. Today they support the Nazi
rulers because there is no certainty
that the allied nations would treat
them any more fairly now or after
the next war than they did in
1919.
While nobody here condones for
q moment the Nazi measures, 1t
would be misrepresenting the state
of opinion in Washington to say
that our officials regard the allied
policies of the last 20 years as truly
contributory to permanent peace.
Need to Undue Wrongs.
What is needed today is a second
peace conference to undo the wrongs
imposed by the Versailles treaty
and to assure economic stability for
Europe by the removal of the trade
barriers without which action, as
Mr.. Wilson foresaw, there could be
no lasting opportunity for the
smaller countries to survive even
though granted political independ-
ence.
The only instrumentality suffi-
GENTLY disinterested in the world
which can act as mediator today
and summon the nations to second
peace conference is the United
States Government. If EIr. Wilson
were alive today and head of the
Government he would not hesitate
to mobilize by radio and the press
the public opinion of the world back
of concerted effort of all peoples to
prevent war
Were President Roosevelt to adopt
this course. he would face, in Amer
lea, a strong faction which would
regard this as "meddling" and would
denounce it as means of entangl-
ing ourselves. This "isolationist"
group succeeded in wrecking the
League of Nations by keeping Amer
lea from joining it even though in
1920 the Republican party contained
q large number of prominent men
who insisted in public declarations
that vote for Harding meant
vote for the League with reservations.
After Mr.. Harding was elected, the
Republican leadership took the po-

may well be asked whether a genu-
inc effort to bring justice to bear
in Europe by a second peace con-
ference, with economic opportunity
and financial aid definitely in the
picture, as a concrete program for
peace is not after all worth the
effort as a means of preventing an
other adventure in organized mur-
der" as Lloyd George called the
last war.
Some means of manifesting plainly
to the German people that the allies
and the United States will truly
assist in their liberation if they
throw off the yoke of Nazi-ism
would seem to be the natural STRAIT

aerial ornaments for the dreaded

Washington's possession justified no
such outlook-that, in fact, these
pointed to imminent disturbance
somewhere. AS evidence of the de-
tailed accuracy of Secretary Hull's
diplomatic intelligence service, the
department several days beforehand
knew that March IL was the date
when decisive events might be ex-
pected. 1t was precisely on that
day that the first rumblings of the
Nazi separatist plot in Slovakia be-
tokened the rapidly approaching
storm. The rest is history. In a
newspaper article published in this
country the day the Czecho-Slovak
bombshell was sprung, Winston
Churchill, M. p, remarked that
"the United States is very accu-
rately informed about Europe" En-
suing developments amply justified
that compliment, just as they fully
vindicated the judgment Of the
State Departments "Nazi special
lists" that Munich would be the be-
ginning, but not the end, of Hit
ler's territorial aggression.
X Il
Certain iuembers of Congress, es-
pecially Senators, who recently
were pooh-poohing the necessity Of
any extraordinary defense meas
ures by the United States against
the totalitarian powers, are now
talking out of the other corners of
their mouths. The destruction of
Czecho-Slovakia, the stealth and
suddenness with which it was ac-
complished, have given the ostrich
colony on Capitol Hill something to
think about. The face Of Senator
Reynolds, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima, is probably the reddest of all.
He has been yelling the loudest,
Who's going to attack us?" He 1t is,
too, who came back from Europe
two or three months ago with in
side information that all was lovely
over there and that Americans who
worry about the danger of war are
seeing things at night. incidentally,
the Tarheel statesman who covets
Huey Longs mantle landed at New
York with an appeal for cessation
of "unjustified attacks" on the die
tators and ridiculing the thought
that this country or hemisphere has
anything to fear at their hands.
If it were not certain that Con-
gress will approve, virtually without
alteration, the round $500 900, 900
proposed for Army, Navy and air
force expansion, the Central Euro
pean crisis would undoubtedly ami
hilate any remaining vestige of op-
position to the defense program
Acting Secretary of State Welles' in
dictment Of Germany's "wanton law
lessness" evokes universal approval
at the Capitol. even among those
who few days ago were berating
the Roosevelt administration for it's
policy of billingsgate" One of the
immediate results of the latest up
heaval in Europe is augmented en-
thusiasm for Western Hemisphere
solidarity. 1t springs from the be-
lief that Uncle Sam now more than
ever should boycott the Old Worlds

trate on making the New World
safe and strong. Such sentiments

Premier Poincare, believing that
America had withdrawn her moral
support and every possibility Of fur
nishing any aid to Europe in solving
her troubles. promptly set about to
recreate a system of military alli-

the Geneva League was brushed
aside.
Proposal Is Worth Effort.
The question of which course will
eventually drag America into war
an active policy of mediation with
an attempt to bring moral force
to bear by showing the German
people a program that will tempt
them to abandon Nazi rule or a

nurserymen and botanists called for
help today in identifying a tree of
gold on the farm of Malcom
Macclaer.
Maclear said the man from whom
he purchased the land planted a
cutting about 10 years ago at the
request Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, which had
received 1t from some tropical coun-
try, seeking to determine if it would
survive this climate.
The tree apparently was forgotten
until 1t grew to maturity and
bloomed with q mass of flowers
making it resemble a great golden
dome. BY then the planter was dead
and the department said its records
were lost. Scores of botanists have
viewed the tree without being able
to name it.

How Tooth Decay
Can Be Prevented
Most Important MoIor Is First One, Says Doctor,
Advising Parents on ChiIds Teeth Care

neighboring teeth begin to lean into
the hole left by removal of the first
molar, and thus lose the firm hold
of their roots. Eventually the whole
arch becomes weakened.
And, in the meantime, the long
anticipated, theoretical permanent
tooth does not come in to replace the
so-called temporary lost one.
Dietary Habits
The dietary habits of children are
also important in making for good
adult teeth.
It used to be preached that all
dental decay was due to bacterial in
fection and all emphasis was placed
on the cleanliness of the mouth.
Candy was regarded with askance
because it caused tooth decay by
providing in the sweet bits that ad-
hered to the teeth good medium
for the growth of bacteria. Other
food particles were also suspected.
I still personally believe there is
a great deal in this now old-fash-
ioned idea. believe in the tooth

that the tooth-pick is the dentists

Because they are liable to be
taken for temporary teeth, and if
they become infected or begin to

to fill it. Let it drop out"
And many of them do drop out.

THE MOST important tooth in
the head is the first permanent
tooth. And how many parents read
ing this statement, even though they
have the responsibility of the care
of children at this critical age, can
tell. exactly which tooth is the first
permanent tooth?
1t would be natural to conceive of
the first permanent tooth as push
ing one of the temporary ones out
of the jaw. But it doesn't do that.
It comes in behind the temporary
teeth and doesn't displace any at all.
And it looks, from it's position, ex-
actly like one of the temporary
teeth.
Real Permanents

"buck" teeth in front-look like the
