The second proposal I have made
for the San Francisco Conference i.
that there be provision for revision
of onerous or inapplicable treatie.
or. of the wrongs of imposed settle
ments. There is no such suggestion
in the Dumbarton Oaks plan.
The future of nations cannot be
frozen. The forces which will arise
out Of this war cannot be foreseen
If we are going to accomplish
anything in our time. we must ap-
proach our problem in the knowl-
edge that there Is nothing rigid OF
tmmutable in human affairs. History
is a story of growth, decay, and
change. II no provision, no allow
ance is made for change by peace
full means. it will come anyway
and with violence.
League Provision Cited.
There was an indefinite provision
for change of onerous or inapplica-
BILE treaties in the Covenant of the
League of Nations, but it was never
allowed to function. This failure to
recognize inevitability of change be-
came one of the definite causes lead
ing to World War II.
There Is one overall effect of both
the Covenant of the League and
Dumbarton Oaks proposals which
the American people should under
stand.
Once we settled down to peace
again there will be treaties de-
flning boundaries and other rela-
tions or imposed relations of ma
tions. The yardstick of who is an
aggressor then becomes one of de-
termining who violates the then
existing situation or law. Thus the
world organization automatically
becomes the guarantor of the ex-
isting situation-that is the status
quo.
Experience demonstrates that
there are unpredictable areas of
most dangerous controversies which
rise from the pressure for change
in the relations between nations.
among tnem are provisions imposed
during the heat of war emotions,
shift in economic pressures and
population, the growth of ideas and
inventions. There are shifting
rights of minorities and the devel-
opment of backward nations which
become conscious and capable of
self-government.
Changes Called Certain.
Oppressed peoples will agitate and
even rebel against oppression. They
are hardly likely to 60 on consider
ing themselves bound by a bargain
entered into unwillingly by their
fathers. AS rule they would be
willing to readjust matters without
gong to war.
Boundary and peace treaties are
not inspired documents. Certainly
the whole experience after the last
war shows that peace can be pre-
served, not by preventing change
and putting the future in a strait
jacket, but by seeking to control

In reading accounts OF how CHI

spent their Halloween and learn

are prone to feel like the man of

outbuildings were overturned and
if anyone left movable trailers or
such in the open they found them
far from the homefields as eager
hands could push them. The

ers felt the youth of the town GER

MRS.. PENN|NGER SPEAKS.
MEETING OF ROTARY.

Mrs. Harry Penninger was the
guest speaker Tuesday at the meet
ing of the Rotary club and told an
interesting story of the history, life
and politics of India.
She started with the invasion and
conquest of about 1000 year ago
and discussed the succession of
events that have made India a
and practices.
She mentioned, in passing, the
caste sysem which still prevails al
though some reforms have been
made; the variety of religions, and
midas great natural wealth. Starva-
ton for many has been accepted as
rather matter of course in a land
where life seems to be regarded as
cheap.
The speaker told of some of the
experiences of her friends who had
visited there and found great wealth
in possession of a few and utter
poverty the lot of many, and where
filth and beauty abide as intimate
neighbors.
Mrs. Penninger did not hazard a
guess as to the ultimate solution of
the social problem, and in that she
was like others who have given at
tention to the problem. The situa-
ton is so complicated with currents
stemming from the centuries past
that it continues to perplex those
who live in India and the observers
abroad.
The speaker was introduced by
Allen Gatewood, May program COM

POPPIES

In hospital wards red peoples grow
AS by their bedsides row on row
Veterans work the long hours
through
Making peoples for me and you.
Poppies that to us will say
On this years Decoration Day
"Wear me in today's parade
| am a poppy veteran made"
81 furnish work for an empty hour
And tho / am only a paper flower
l filled a veterans empty poke
And many a needy, but proud, old
bloke
Had money to spend at Christmas
Who otherwise might not have had
a dime.
Yes, this is the part l like to play
Months before Decoration Day."
"And when you buy me some day
this spring
Along with the memories I will
bring
Of the World War dead, 1 will also
strive
To remind you of those who are
still alive.
There's so little some of these guys
can do.
They're glad to make a poppy or
two.
So whatever you give on Poppy Day
