Versailles Anniversary

Twenty-three years ago today, the
Treaty of Versailles was signed by
the delegates to the Peace Confer
ence at Paris. In theory if not in
fact, it marked the close. of the first
World War, begun exactly five years
earlier. The Germans affixed their
autographs to the agreement" under
protest, complaining that it's terms
violated the spirit Of the Fourteen
Points whose acceptance by Prince
Max of Baden, last chancellor of the
Reich, had been the basis of the
armistice of the previous Novem-
Der II.
Among the Allies, on the other
hand, there was general satisfaction.
Popular pressure had been exerted
upon the representatives of France,
Great Britain and the United States
to provide against unwarranted leni-
ency. A frankly realistic attitude
was that of Georges Clemenceau, who
told newspaper correspondents that
Germany had been put in chains for
a century to come.
Coincidentally President Woodrow
Wilson cabled to Washington an ad-
dress to the American people in
which he said: "The treaty of peace
has been signed. If it is ratified and
acted upon in full and sincere execu-
tion of its terms, it will furnish the
charter for a new order of affairs
in the world. 1t Is much more
than a treaty of peace with Germany.
It liberates great peoples who have
never been able to find the way to
liberty. It ends, once for all, an
old and intolerable order under which
small groups of selfish men could
use the peoples Of great empires to
serve their ambition for power and
dominion. It recognizes the in
alienable rights of nationality, the
rights OF minorities and the sanctity
OF religious belief and practice. 1t
lays the basis for conventions which
shall free the commercial intercourse
OF the world from unjust 'and vexa-
tious restrictions and for every sort
OF cooperation that will serve to
cleanse the life Of the world and
facilitate its common action in
beneficent service Of every kind"
The best impulses Of the Versailles
statesmen were not granted their
natural fulfllment. But out of the

Statues for Victory

Get in the scrap" says a pictur-
esque and effective slogan, prominent
now in the rubber drive. But, says
Donald Nelson, 1t must be applied
also to metals. and he urges strongly
that statues and fences be turned in
to be melted down and converted
into weapons.
This is bad news for many small
towns glorying in the statues of their
founding fathers, set up at the corner
of Broad and Main streets. Or is it?
In theory, every right-thinking in
habitant Of the great and glorious
community OF Smithville thrills with
pride at the imposing statue of the
great Hosea Smith, whose vision
made Smithville what it is today.
But, alas, in recent years Smithville's
younger generation, by unanimous
vote of the old-timers the most irrev-
erent and impossible generation ever
to afflict the fair name of the city,
have adopted different ideas. They
have been known to take the heret-
ical view that Smithville would be
better of If old man Hosea, bronze
whiskers and all, were to be junked,
and the aching void left by mis- pass
ing replaced with a filling station, a
hot dog stand, or something practical.
Let us not be too hard on rash
youth. There is a distinct possibility
that old man Hosea himself, who
was not such bad scout, after all, in
his day, might easily be nodding ap-
proval from beyond the grave,
thrilled at the prospect that his
image, instead Of standing idly and
uselessly by In q national crisis,
would be doing its bit by getting In
the scrap.

in the phase Of the war that lies ahead.
First, it enjoys the advantage of a
head start in design and construction Of
long-range bombing planes. These are
the real offensive weapons of the air.
They are heavily armored for their own
defense They can fly very long dis
tances. They can carry bomb loads of
as high as eight tons. The United States
is in sight of large-scale production of
these craft which already have given
headaches to the japanese, the Italians
and the Germans.
Second, this country enjoys the advan-
tage of relative security from attack so
that it can devote its immense resources
to uninterrupted production. The heart
of German industry lies within a radius
of 500 miles of England. That is within
range Of American medium bombers
which are in mass production now. Every
part of German and Italian industry is
within range of the big American bomb
ers. Likewise, the heart of japanese
industry is within TOO to 1000 miles of
Russian bases in Siberia and Kamchatka.
This is just an easy hop for the big
American bomberS.
At the same time, Japan's nearest base
is nearly 1000 miles from the mainland
of the United States. Germany's nearest
base is 5000 miles away. This is out Of
range Of any but carrier-based airplanes
which are not such dangerous weapons.
Those planes, as designed by the Japa-
nese, are relatively small and Of short
range. The Germans have almost no
carriers or planes designed to operate
from them.
In this next phase of the war, the
United States will be producing more
bombers than the rest of the world COM
bined. 1t will be turning out very large
numbers of men who know how to fly
and to use these bombers. The planes
that are produced will be capable Of
flying to the scene of the heaviest fight
ing. They gradually will be supplied
with fuel, parts, ground crews and pilot
requirements all by way of the air so
that it will become unnecessary to place
full reliance upon slower moving surface
ships for supply.
That spells bad news for Hitler regard

may gain In Russia or AfrtA It also
