now repose in museums may be ac-
cepted as convincing evidence that
they were not invariably successful.
The enemies they were intended to
terrify occasionally refused to CO.
operate in the manner anticipated.
Some of the masks patiently have

of muscular gentry lacking willing
ness to be frightened into any condi-
ton Of mind save that of resistance.
The false faces" of the museums
are preserved as souvenirs of futile
campaigns Of barbarouS antiquity,
enterprises of conquest which ended
in disastrous disappointment for
their initiatorS. The maSk-archi-
tects of modern times might do worse

peoples now extant who can be
scared only to resentment. It is true
that they are more tardy in wrath

ton, yet when at last they strike
there can be little question about the
torceful efficiency Of their blows.

HopIess- Fugitives

The attack by Iron GuardiStS which
King Carol and his encourage expert
enced as they fled from Rumania
after his abdication may not have
been Rumanias last shot at its
former ruler and his friends. Carol
and his two chief associates in his
checkered decade of power are now
under detention in Seville, Spain,
with the long trail of possible extra
dition to Rumania, trial and sem
fencing ahead of them. Exactly
what charges await the trio is
not made clear, but the nature of
some of the revelations in Bucharest
since the Iron GuardistS came to
power gives some clue to what they
may be.
Leland Stowe of the Chicago Daily
News foreign staff has made some
sensational disclosures of the grip
Carol, Magda Lupescu and his min
lister of palace, Ernst Urdareanu, had
upon Rumania's economy, a grip
from which they are alleged to have
reaped huge profits, particularly on
Rumania's rearmament. But it evil
IDENTIFY did not stop there. Notations
repeatedly found in the Runanian
National Bank indicated that Carol
may have been going beyond his
royal stipend to dip into Rumania's
treasury. The ostentatious display
which not only Carol but his woman
companion effected in Bucharest,
their huge property holdings abroad
and the elaborate character of their
flights from Rumania in a private
train accompanied by vast assort-
ment of baggage lend weight to the
allegation that Carol found the king
ship extremely profitable and helped
make it so for his friends, some of
whom are already under arrest in
Bucharest.
Carol will find few to Sympathize
with him in his plight. Rumania In
all probability would have been far
stronger and better equipped to deal
with the Nazi, Hungarian and Soviet
threats if its regime had not deCayed
during Carols rule. Certainly there
was no unity within Rumania behind
him, due perhaps to the fact that too
many people resented Lupescu's
Vaccinations, her trading in official
positions, and her influence over
Rumania's ruler. Many non-Nazis
could not tolerate such a condition.
When the crisis came, Rumania was
a weak and ready victim for hostile
neighbors. Carols abdication was
not the end of the story for Rumania,
and more of it undoubtedly will be
unraveled if Carol, Lupescu and
Urdareanu are returned to Bucharest.

Secret UNDERSTANDINGS

President Roosevelt made one
statement in his address at Phila-
delphia Wednesday night which
deserves more consideration than it
has received. Answering what he
described as Republican charges
that the present administration has
entered into secret agreements with
foreign nations, the President said
1t seems almost unnecessary to
deny such a charge. But, so long
as the fantastic misstatement has
been made, l must brand it for what
it is.
l give you this most solemn aSSur-
ance; there is no secret treaty, no
secret obligation, no secret commit
ment. no secret understanding in
any shape or form, direct or indirect,
with any other government, or any
other nation in any part Of the world,
to involve this Nation in any war or
for any other purpose.
That is a sweeping and a curious
statement. Read carefully, particu-
larly with reference to the conclud-
ing phrase, which has been italicized
here for emphasis, it can mean only
one thing: That this Government
has no secret understanding of any
kind with any other government for
any purpose.
Why did the President feel. i'm
PEELED to 60 to such extreme lengths
in making this denial? Can there
be any possible objection to a secret
understanding" with another gov
ernment for a desirable purpose?
Surely, prior to its public announce
ment, this Government had secret
understanding with the British gov
ernment to exchange destroyers for
Atlantic bases. Have we no such
understanding, of any kind, with
Britain concerning the possible use
of Singapore by our fleet, or the
acquisition of other bases in the
Pacific? Is there no secret under
standing of any kind with respect
to material assistance that is being
given Britain now and that we ex-
pect to give in the future?
Understandings of this sort, by
their very nature, have to be arrived
at in secret Their successful con-
clusion is vital to our national Sc
curity, yet premature publicity might
defeat the purpose of any agreement.
1t is the proper function and the
solemn duty of the President to
reach understandings with other
governments, understandings which
necessarily must be secret for
while, and if we have no such under
standing of any kind, for any pur-
pose, at this time, that fact, of itself,
strongly suggests that the admin
istration is guilty of negligence in
preparing the defenses of the coun-

Air Force

The newly organized General
Headquarters Air Force is expected
to become the most powerful air
weapon yet envisioned by United
States defense plans.
To fit it for immediate battle duty
anywhere in the hemisphere, the G.
H. @. Air Force has been freed of all
responsibilities and entanglements
not essential to its functioning as a
combat force.
1t has been removed from the
Army Air Corps and placed directly
under the new Army general head
quarters created to coordinate all
military combat activities. The G.
H. Q. Air Force commander. elevated
to the rank of lieutenant general,
occupies the same status as the COM
mander of the greatest ground Or
ganization recognized in the Ameri-
can military plan, the Field Army.
So that it may not be tied down
in any way, the G. H. @. Air Force
has even been freed of the response
bility of training the combat crews
which will man it's airplanes These
crews will be trained by the Air
Corps and will be released to the
combat force only when they are
ready to take their places in the
fighting squadrOnS.
The entire aspect of this reorgan-
ization is grim and purposeful. Its
one aim is to prepare the Army Air
Force for battle on a moments
notice. Everything else is subordi-
mated to combat efficiency. This
purpose will be wholeheartedly ap-
proved by every American who loves
his liberty and his country.
The most disturbing element in
this reorganizatio ton announcement
by the War Department is the real
istic acceptance of the fact that the
new G. H. @. Air Force will not reach
it's combat peak until sometime in
1912. All production schedules, train
ing schedules and preparation of
fields and ground facilities is being
co-ordinated toward that period.
The reorganization is regarded as
a step toward an independent air
force under its own commander.
This probably is as far as the War
Department is prepared to go along
the road toward this goal at the
present time Naval aviation is not
involved in any way, Of course.

Masks

Every first-class anthropological
museum displays examples of the
hideous false faces" with which
savage peoples in times long passed
aspired to scare their enemies into
submission. Ethnographists find
these works of primitive art interest
ing because they indicate of what
their creators themselves were afraid.
Casual inspection of representative
number of war masks sufflces to show
that discolored compilations, over
sized jaws, bulging eyes and trick
mustaches were supposed to produce
panic in the ranks of any foe. When
the operators of the mugs" shouted
and screamed, beat upon dishpans,
ratified cowbells, stamped upon the
ground with as much noise as pos
sible, the audience to which their
antics were addressed was expected
to surrender.
But the fact that the false faces

Madame Butterfly

1t seems incredible that the first
presentation of the most widely
popular Of modern operas should
have been a failure. The story of
Cho-Cho-San is so appealing that it
is difficult to believe that it did not
please the audience which filled La
Scala in Milan on February II, 1904.
Some wholly local condition, un-
chronicled by historians, must have
been responsible for the demonstra-
ton OF disapproval which, according
to H. E. Krehbiel, included "whis-
tling, grunting, roaring, believing
and laughing in the good old-fash-
Toned manner" The composer, Gia-
como Puccini, already famous for
'Tosca" and La Boheme," Offered
to reimburse the management of the
theater for the expenditures entailed
by the production"
But he did not lose faith in his
work. The plot conceived by John
Luther Long and prepared for the
stage by David Belasco was good, as
he believed. His score also deserved
sympathetic hearing. Refusing to
make any fundamental change in
his manuscript save only that of
dividing the second act into two
parts, he arranged a second try
out" at Brescia, May q, 1904. There
after Madame Butterfly" was ac-
cepted universally. She may have
been-indeed still may be-thor-
oughly un-JapaneSe. Her faithless
lover, the vagrant Lieutenant Pink
erton, likewise has been CHALLENGED
as an altogether imaginary character,
entirely lacking in the qualities which
characterize United States Navy off,
GERS wherever they may be met the
world around.
Listeners. however, care little for
the legendary nature of the theme.
1t is the melody of this masterpiece
of twentieth century music that en-
sures its Immortality Successive
millions have heard with gratitude
the magnificent duet at the close of
act one, the "One Fine Day" aria
at the beginning of act two, the So
called vigil" and the finale-Cho-
Cho-San's death and the grief of her
husband returning too late. The
recordings offered by The Star in it's
second music appreciation campaign
preserve the beauty of the best por-
tions of the opera. 1t is congenial to
think that noble pleasure is de-
mocratized by their distribution.

larly for life as we see and know it today.
There are moral and spiritual values,
and they have their place In every we'll
to precipitate a condition in which
other and vital values must be leopard
lied.
1t is true that the one place in which
moral and spiritual values should be in
culcated is the home. II neglected here,
we cannot pass the responsibility over to
the teacher and the classroom. The
abdication by parents of their respon-
sibility as moral leaders concerned vital
ly with the building of the characters of
their children. menaces the social order
and makes uncertain the future security
and permanence of our most cherished
institutions. The uncertainty of men
and women of maturity as to what is to
be on the morrow in our corporate life Is
one thing, but the uncertainty Of youth
who are to carry on the institutions we
have created and to make them more
stable than they are today is quite an
other thing. The problem narrows
down to this: Shall we attempt to build
the future upon culture alone, or shall
we buttress it by adding to it those great
moral values that are indispensable to
the life of the State and society?
In this day of pressing problems here
is one that must be considered as pri-
mary. 1t has to do with the most vital
concerns of our life as a people To
train and prepare men for future as
involved in uncertainties as the one We
face, is an obligation of the utmost i'm
portance If home and our educational
institutions are failing to do this, dark
and ominouS shadows are ON the road
ahead. Again, if the church cannot
adapt its program to supplement what
is lacking in home and college we are
faced with a situation that is grave in
deed. Neither strong armies nor power
full navies can guarantee to us the sta
bility and permanence of our institu-
tions. Home, college and church must
be challenged so to organize their meth
DDS that we shall have something more
than trained hands and brains, skilled
and clever craftsmen. Here lies the
major problem of our time. AS a Nation
We began with moral and Christian val
ues. We shall hardly survive without
them.

What about the attitude of youth in
this era of worldwide bewilderment?
What about confidence and assurance as
youth faces future as insecure and un-
certain as they see it today?
A distinguished commentator relates
an incident that had to do with four
young college men, two of them Phi Beta
Kappas all of them men who had en-
joyed a high scholastic record and COL
lege honors. The discussion that ensued
indicated the confusion of mind that
characterized all of them, and they
traced much of their confusion to their
university experience. The commenta-
tor speaks of these men as representing
four case histories of the more priv
ileged section Of American youth" Two
came from well-to-do homes: two from
those more modest. They were differ
ent in temperament, but they all held
to the view that something was lacking
in modern education, and they all "testi-
fled that what their university life had
done was to break down their belief in
any positive values, to weaken their
faith in their country, in its history, in
its traditions and in its future" Each
of them had worked out for himself
partial philosophy of life. One of them
affirmed as he spoke of his four years in
college: I'VE were told to maintain the
critical attitude-toward history, phil
osophy, biography, sociology, economics
I tried to maintain a healthy skepti-
cism.' The trouble was that 1 observed
in reading history, that the people who
moved this world were people animated
by passion for something. could see
that you couldn't write off faith as one
of the prime molders of history, and
that when there wasn't any faith, pure
gangsterism and piracy broke loose"
The testimony given by these four
highly educated young men was not re-
assuring 1t was quite evident that
neither the college nor the church had
done much to give their minds definite
bent or to assure them that the future
before them warranted hope of better
things to come Theirs is an interesting
testimony: how widespread it may be
one would not venture to say. One
thing seems clear, namely that educa-
ton, broader culture in itself, is wholly
inadequate to fit men for the stern and
pressing problems Of life. more particu-

which will establish its headquar-

to begin for this purpose. The best
wishes of every loyal American,
however, will be with Lieutenant
General Delos c. Emmons-the first
aviation officer ever to hold this
rank-and the officers and men OF
the force upon which the United
States and the hemisphere must rely
for air security.

would have first call.
All of this seems rather strange in
country that has endured depression al
most continuously since 1929. The
thought of industry so swamped with
orders that the authority of Govern
ment might be required to determine
who can be served first would have been
regarded as fantastic only a few
months ago.
Now the threat of war has caused
Congress to vote the unlimited billions
for defense that the New Deal planners
once thought might be voted for inter-
nal improvement. These defense bill
lions will prime the pump Of industry
just as readily and thoroughly as the
same billions devoted to housing or
building of public works. They will
demonstrate that recovery can be had
by vast oulays of Government funds.
In the end however, there might be less
satisfaction in battleships and airplanes
than in more houses and dams and
highways.
The catch is that the choice Of battle
ships or houses is not for this country to
make in the light of present events.
Consequently, the boom that is develop
ing is war-induced boom that will give
industry the prosperity it could not
have while the world was more or less
at peace. The present hope is that a
war boom can be enjoyed without the
war that customarily accompanies the
type Of defense preparations now under
taken.
