Associated PreSS FOfelgn StaII
The Versailles peace treaty anc
the covenant Of the League o.
Nations went into force Jan. TO-
1920. On the same day this year,
exactly 20 years later, the United
Nations Assembly meets for the
first time.
Bad augury? Those who knew
the old league and now work fol
the new think not. They think
it rather a reminder Of old pit
falls on the 21-year road to war,
a repetition of which they now
seek to avoid.
The giants who built that league
Wilson, Lloyd George and Glenn
enceau-are dead, and only few
Of the delegates who worked with
them work now for the new UNO'
One is South Africa's Field Mar
shall Jan Christian SHUTS, fighting
exponent of world cooperation
against aggression. He told the
Associated Press that he consider
ed the. UN charter far better
weapon against aggression than the
covenant he helped draft in 1913
Another is China's Wellington
Koo, one of the lesser delegates at
the conferences when the league
was born. While his countrymen
died under Japanese bombs he
pleaded passionately in the league
councils and assemblies for help
he knew they could not give.
Seven years ago, after one Of
those appeals, I lunched with him
at Geneva restaurant. With the
mild emphasis characteristic Of
him. he made predictions:
"China will fight on. Soon the
world will be at war. You will
win and we will win. Then we will
meet here in Geneva again and
force a league with such strength
in it's arms that no nation Will
dare to defy it."
He was the first chairman OF
the committee in London hich this
winter turned San Francisco's
World Charter into living Or
ganization.
Many other delegates on the
new UN committees remember
what happened to the league.
Those from Czechoslovakia and
Ethiopia remember how futile
were their appeals to the old
league against aggressors who
swallowed them up. Albania and
the Spanish republicans appealed
uselessly too. Austria didn't even
have time to appeal.
All that was at Geneva. The
great league palace, occupied for
The first time in 1887, stands
empty on the shores Of Lake Le-
man. It is modern and well equip
ned still a fine home for any in
ternationa1 organization.
FRANKLIN D. Roosevelt just be-
fore his death told a friend that
he had made list Of IL possible
sites for the league, excluding
Geneva.
II went over them all and found
oh;ections to each one. Finally
put down Geneva. Despite the
curse Of the league, perhaps
because Of the league curse, we
might 60 back there
The UN will not 60 back. At
least it will not establish its head
quarters at Geneva though the
Swiss city might serve as the

There was dream------
That men would one day speak the thoughts

There was hope------
That men would one day stroll thro' streets

There was prayer------

"SAVVY BOX"

In Chinese pidgin English there
is phrase, "savvy box no b'lone

Perhaps it is disrespectfu, but

bit of pidgin English to the ram.

time, who have made a mess Of
the world.
Professional theological lingo
"goes down deeper, stays down
longer and comes up drier" than
most other speech. 1t is tar from
the standard of Him whom tho
common people heard gladly.
Professional philosophy is al
war with itself, as the varied
partisans hurl sesquipedaliar
criticisms at one another. Some.
body has said that there are as
many PHILOSOPHERS as there are
philosophers, all needing to have
their heads tinkered.
AS for professional psychologists
if they may be called a profes.

Of weird phraseology. Theirs is

Point number five is to EN-
PHASIZE THE USE OF THE
DOG AS HOME PROTECTOR.
FAITHFUL COMPANION AND
USEFUL SERVANT OF MAN
KIND" Dogs were originally
useful animals in every way.
They can be just as useful to-
day.
To make dog dollhouse pet,
to pamper a dog, to overfeed him
constantly not to give him enough
exercise, is to deaden his mental
capabilities, and his desire to be
a watchful dog, and to help man
kind.

Employment the Problem
IF employment can be solved,
the old age dependency problem
in an older population will be
comparatively simple" says DR..
Durand.
lon the other hand, if we fall
back into the economic doldrums
of the '30s, the increase of peo-
pie in the age group over IS will
mean an economic burden of con-
siderable weight. An efficient and
adequate system of old-age Sc
curity will become more essential
as the number of aged people
grows"

United States would have be-
tween % and % million men in

law was enacted there were about
25, 100000 men in that group.
