1910 AND 1914
lNeN York TimeSl

(NeW ork IlmeS)
There is much talk nowadays of "the
traditional isOlationism' of the United
States. But alongside the isolation cur
rent of public opinion in the country
there has long been a strong counter
current favoring participation in world
union for establishing and maintaining
peace This counter-current is too often
ignored in our discussion nowadays.
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler calls at
tention to one of its early manifestations:
a Joint resolution of Congress In 1910,
approved by President Taft and extend
ed two wears later. 1t authorized the
President to invite the other nations to
unite with us IN forming league to
lessen the probability of war, and it sug-
gested an international police force, to
be composed of the combined navies of
the world. The resolution passed with
out dissenting vote Republican or Demo-
crat. 1t was hailed as ''the greatest step
toward worldwide peace ever taken by
a legislative body That happened IN
land which, we are asked to believe, mas
always been isolationist
About that time Theodore Roosevelt,
a popular President, was speaking out
for international action against war. 1T
would be a master stroke" he said, If
would form a league of peace, not only
to keep the peace among themselves but
to prevent, by force if necessary its be-
ing broken by others" He pointed out
that the supreme difficulty of the peace
work of The Hague arose from the lack
of any executive power-of any police
to enforce the DEGREES of the court he
added that the statesman who should
bring about an international combina-
ton to preserve peace would earn the
gratitude of all mankind.
Isoationists today are fond of citing
the election of President Harding as
proof that the United States wants no
foreign entanglements." But Harding, IN
his campaign. called for IAN association
of free nations so organized anu
participated in as to make the actual
attainment of peace reasonable pos
sbility," and added: "Such an assocla-
ton | favor with all my heart 1t is the
judgment of many historians that with
out that statement Mr. Harding would
never have been elected.

TWO MAJOR INDUSTRIES
WORK ON POSTWAR PLANS

Engaged in determined and painstak-
ing postwar surveys are two of the ma
tion's great industries automobile and
aircraft A new world faces aircraft.
In the automobile industry, executives
and economists have the past as a guide
in considering the future markets and
needs. That aviation will be at the start
of gigantic expansion, all believe. War
has presented the main guide to this in
dustry as hundreds of thousands of
planes circle the globe, giving a graphic
picture of what air transport Is to be in
the immediate future.
If the war were to end tomorrow, the
auto trade would be faced with a pro-
duction program almost too vast to imag
inc. Various estimates place the immed-
late replacement needs as high as 5,000.
600 cars and 100000 trucks. That
means merely to get the nation on four
rubber wheels again. Headed for the
scrap heap are untold thousands of cars.
In fact they practically are there now
and within two years it is estimated that
the discards will mount to as high as
nine millions.
That both these industries will con-
tinue to be more or less centralized IN
communities where plants already are
established makes small difference IN
the ultimate aid to progress and pros
perity for the nation as a whole. These
industries will be American and what
helps one locality helps another.
Great things are ahead. Steady hands
must guide our entire economic system Il
we are to reap the advantages.

A REGIMENT OF
FEATHER-B
Santa Monica Outlook)

(Santa Monica OutloOk)
The Office of War Information, like
many other of the multitudnous organ
izations in Washington, is guilty of tax
ing many people who ought to be serving
in the Army or Navy and giving them
feather-bed jobs
1t is hard to conceive why the OWL
requires about 1000 persons to do its
work in Britain. 1t is simply outrageous
to assume that any such number have
worthwhile work to do The fact is that
not half of them are necessary. With
compact organization and proper direc-
ton. it is fair to say that three-fourths
of these feather-bedders could be dis
penSed with.
This becomes obvious when it Is known
that Canada. whose interest in this war
is no less keen than ours, has on its
United Kingdom Information staff only
three persons. and one of them is employ
ed only part time. This possibly Is not
enough to do a first-class job, but it is
apparent that 1000 is an excessive num-
ber.
A wholesale propaganda effort is
doubtless the main object of this regi-
ment of people. Thus far the OWL prop
aganda has not been worth half its COST
and there seems to be no reason to expect
more successful work from this multi
tude of feather-bedders.

EVEN WAR HAS ITS
SHARE IN PROGRESS

Necessity is the mother of invention
has been maxim these many years, and
while war by no means can be catalogued
as a necessity, wars nonetheless have
mothered inventions and this war stands
out in that respect. That is because it
is global conflict and involves so many
more sources of this or that vital mater
ial necessary to life and industry. We
can leave out the tremendous advances
that have been made in implements OF
war.
Recent announcement that two gifted
young scientists had ended nearly hun
dred year search for a chemical method
for production of quinine, is outstanding
in the realm of research and counts as
one of the really notable achievements
of the times.
The search for this method became
intense after the Japanese had seized,
and probably destroyed many of the
drug bearing cinchona trees in the Meth
erlands East Indies. If they did not de-
stroy the trees, they as effectively shut
off this much needed malaria deterrent.
The Japs counted their victory as an ally,
and so it was until American ingenuity
found this substitute. Now production
of the drug will be pushed with all pos
sible speed that it may replace the OWN
ding supplies stored up when the Japs

He declared that compiled re-

ed increasing interest on the part
of the county farmers and acreage
figures compared favorably with
those released by the Imperial Irri-
cation District in April.
The compilation showed that of
the 382, 900 farmable acres in the
valley, 343,947 acres are covered
by the ACP farm program. The
agency estimated that of possible
1900 estimated farms in the area,
1929 farms will be represented
through farm plans signed. This
year 1854 farm plans were filed
out of an estimated total of 1,500

1t is expected that expenses will be

TREND INDICATED

The trend as represented III the
number of farms and signerS over
past years, indicates that there are
larger farms tooay with fewer
farmers. The sign-up also showed,
in Millers opinion, a vindication Of
the conservation program in that
200 more farm plans were filed
this year than last year.
All of the plans were signed he
said, lin spite of the fact that
We advised farmers that the plans
need not be signed but that they
should be filed in order that an
authentic record of farmers pro-
posed operations be available for
considering fertilizer needs. ma
chinery needs, and other related
farm needs for presentation to
governmental agencies governing
wartime productions
The number of plans signed rep
reSentS an estimated acreage con-
Servation payment for designated
practices of over s350,000 for 1914,
Miller said. 1.-The conservation
practices are not to be confused
with the idle acres" practices of
several years ago, but payments
this year are based definitely on
actual practices which mainly in
clude application of commercial fer
tilizers, planting of green manure
crops, Ceep sub-soiling of crop
lands, maintenance of old alfalfa
stands and permanent pastures by
renovation and reseedig. All acres
under the plan this year, therefore,
mean increased production because
they will all be planted acres he
continued.
