MARINES HAVE

oo,,Nla of ,,arinac from, Cor,

handling a couple of situations.
Capt. James Roosevelt found that
his civilian staff has his first mo-
vie, "Pot o. Gold" fairly we'll in

S. Van Dyke, spent a two weeks
leave directing Rage in Heaven
after the original director, Robert
Sinclair, had quarreled with the
star, Bob Montgomery. When ] Wis

armistice must be armistice to prevent war; not
armistice to end Let us, the peoples Of
the world, send the wisest men of all nations
to the conference table, by our mandate to treat
with another for lasting peace.
Theirs would be a task unequaed since Christ
toled up Calvary; theirs could be accomplish
ment of the thing for which He died
Courage must be theirs. for today it will re-
quire courage not to fight. Ii is easy to make
war when narrow nationalism has stirred racial
hatreds to fever pitch 1t is hard to exercise the
calm wisdom which reminds that the armis
tice of 1918 could not give back the eight and
half million lives spent in the mud OF European
fields.
Patience must be theirs. for the problems
set up by years of International wrOngdoing can
not be solved i'm day. UnselfishnesS and fore
bearance must be theirs too. for great sacrifices
will be required of each if success is to
the efforts of all.
Theirs will be the task of remakng the map
of the world, not with bombs and bayonets but
with calm logic and cooperation. The
worlds markets, the worlds materials, the
worlds factories and trade routes would be theirs
to shuttle into pattern.
A costly proceeding, this, but what would be
the cost compared to the 219 billion dollar cost
of the last World war? 1t is an item the world
can well afford.
No. we need not follow tremblingly into
chaos and despair in this latest crisis that grips
the world. We need only count the millions
of lives lost needlessly, the billions 6 dollars
spent wantony the unending suffering under
gone fruitlessly by those who gave themselves
up to hatred and madness in the World war of
1914 to 1918, and then resolve that today we
shall forestaIl a yet more terrible fate by demand
ing peace before war, not after.
We want armstice after the world is half
destroyed.
We want it NOW.

Is 1t Too Late Today To
bridqe the Chasms of Haired?

we like it no more now, looking back on
the havoc it has brought.
How can we know that there will not
be another Versailles, if we enter this
struggle that has grown out of that
other one? If we fight, how can we know
what we are fighting for? How can we
be sure our struggle will be more effec-
tive than it was in 1916-1S?
There is a way!
We, the sovereign people of this repub-
lie, can insist that our own leaders and
the leaders of the worlds democracies
outline NOW the terms upon which they
will accept peace. We can insist that
those terms be fair to all peoples. We
can, and we should!
In this column ON April 13, 1889, ap-
peared an editorial which was subse-
quently reprinted in the Congressional
Record and numerous other newspapers,
and which drew favorable comment from
many sources-one of them a British
governmental official stationed as far
away as Calcutta, India. 1t is interest
ing today to re-read that editorial, writ
ten and printed before war swept half
the world. 1t follows:

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. = The
long political life of Vice President
John Nance Garner is flickering
unhappily as it burns down to the
socket.
Presiding over the opening of a
new session of the senate for the
last time-he returns to private
life Jan. 20-Cactus Jack is sub
dued and lonely figure.
For one thing. Mrs. Garner is
not here.
1t means more to say that about
Jack Garner than it would to say il
of any other man on Capitol Hill
Eta Garner has been his helpmeet
in every sense of the word. She has
been his secretary through all OF
the years of his service in Wash
ington, and he has been here
since 1903. She used to get down
to the office half an hour ahead
of him mornings. to get his mail
opened and his routine prepared.
But this year she didn't come
back to Washington for the brief
18-day period that remained to him
in office. She stayed in Texas, WIS.,
iting her son and his family. And
as the 18th congress met in joint
session to receive the presidents
message. senate wives remarked to
each other. Tomorrow would be
the day Eta Garner would have
us to lunch-if she were here"
OFFICE
DESOLATE
After the session ended, the vice
president jammed his gray felt hat
down over those startling. gleam-
ing-White eyebrows and stalked of
for the senate office building. fol-
lowed by two cronies, Indian file
His chauffeur. who has been SUBJ
bing for his regular secretarial
staff, opened the door of the vice
presidential office suit and Garner
went in.
The central office was bare and
desolate. A few tubes for telephone
wires stuck up from the floor
where the desks had been, and the
carpet was touched with dark
squares where the desks had pro-
tected it from the sun. Bare, like
wise, and stripped of its furniture,
was the room at the right. where
Mrs. Garner had presided for
eight years.
If she had been here she prob
ably would have had some coffee
on a gas burner in a closet off her
office-a closet she had improvis-
ed into a kitchenet. The vice presi-
dent would have had some, and he
would have stretched out on the
black leather sofa and discussed
the presidents message with her.
But this time he went straight on
into his own office. joked there with
his friends for a few minutes. and
then went on out and was driven
to his hotel.
