PLENTY OF SUGAR

Few people will admit the selfish and unpatriotc
practice of boarding but frightfu number OF 1olk
have been buying articles lin order to lay In
supply before the hoarders get started"
One of the most senseless forms OF this pre-
cautionary buying, to give it polite term, is the
headong rush on the sugar counter The Agriculture
Department has just pointed out that there are
billion tons of sugar available in Cuba and the other
producing areas, with discernble threat OF
submarine interference with shipments such as
made rationng necessary in World War H.
The Department of Agriculture fixes import
quotas and can permit much greater volume OF
sugar shipments into the country at any time Mean
while however, the bying rush on the competitive
market will drive the price up And them quite likely
when millions of househoders have their cellars
stocked with aging and cakng sugar, state OF over
supply will make the price drop considerably

World War IL Begins

One year ater-1931-the Jap
anese invaded Manchuria and Sec
rotary Stimson once again tried to
secure international cooperation to
head off what he knew to be the
beginning Of a world war And ir
an effort to prod and encourage the
League of Nations into a cooper
ative move to stop war, Stimsor
took the relatively mild step Of
ordering the U. S. consul in Gen.
eva to sit in on council sessions
only as an observer.
An immediate howl of protest
went up from members of Stimson's
own Republican party. They were
so vigorous, and his chief Herber
Hoover got SO nervous, that tn,
U. S. consul was finally replaced
by Charles G.. Dawes, whom tn,
COP isolationists trusted.

Consult Re War

Two years later, I accompanied
new Republican Secretary OF
State, Henry L. Stimson, to the
London naval conference. There
Stimsqn did bis pest tomputx aeros:
consultative pact-again not a
revolutionary proposal. 1t merely
provided that, if war threatened
the United States would agree to
consult" with the other nations
of the world regarding ways of
stopping war. Stimson made alb
solutely no promises or commit
ments, beyond the promise that we
would merely sit down and talk.
Compared with the United Ma
tionc Of today, the Stimson proposal
sounds almost juvenile. But when
he proposed 1t privately at London
in l930-just twenty years ago
Herbert Hoover, then President of
the United States, nearly had kit
tens. He was SO agitated that he
called press conference and en-
phatically informed the world that
mo consultative pact has been con-
sidered at any time during the
course of the London conference"
Simultaneously in London, Sec
cretary Stimson, not knowing that
rock-ribbed Republicans were scared
stiff over even tiny bit of inter-
national cooperation, was holding
his own press conference stating
exactly the opposite of his chief in
the White House. A consultative
pact, he said, was definitely under
discussion.
In the end, Hoover showed who
was boss. The consultative pact
was killed; and with it the entire
naval treaty.

BETTY AND Al BELLE

E. V. Durling's column in. the
Seattle Post Intelligencer said on
Thursday Betty Bello, long
time reader of this column, is
currently appearing with her hus-
band, AL at the Bubble Room,
Hotel Baranof, Juneau, Alaska.
have asked Betty to let us know
if it is true what they say about
those lonely bachelors in Alaska.
So, young woman, don't start for
Alaska on a husband hunting trip
until we hear from Betty"
Betty and AL Bello are already
receiving mail from During readers.
Prize, SO far is song about
Flying to Juneau in June" which
woman in Massachusetts would
like to have published with Betty
and AIS assistance.
The friendship between Betty and
Ed During goes back to the time
when Durling and her father,
Frank Taylor, were fellow news
parermen on the Los Angeles
Times.
Mr.. During frequently wrote
things in his column about dS1
and me in those days. Dad had
charge of the Times travel bureau
and whenever I could, would go
to his office and it was then that
I knew Mr.. During Betty said.
She has already written to Mr..
During about the woman situation
in Alaska.
What did she say?
well, 1 told him that in Juneau
there were about as many women
as there are men; that the Short
age of women is in Anchorage and
Fairbanks. 1 asked one man what
| he thought about it and he asked
me to tell Mr. Durling that he
would like a wife with about nine
children, so he could have some
income tax deductions" ess
Now, when you hear the Bellos
playing something about flying to
Juneau in June at the Baranof,
you'll know how it all started.

Europe COoIs

Even more important, however,
was the negative reaction of Europ-
can members of the League of Ma
lions. The French press screamed
that they did not want the United
States butting into League affairs.
The British foreign office, long in
sympathy with Japan, deity un-
dercut Stimson's crackdowns on
Tokyo. Mussolini, fearing his turn
would be next. was distinctly cool
to American cooperation.
And Jap diplomats, foreseeing the
day when they would go on to
further aggressions, took diabolical
pleasure in ridiculing Stimson, and

slowly breaking down the peace
machinery of the world
For months, the League debated.
| But instead of the 48-hour decision
made by the United Nations in
the Korean crisis, it took one solid
year for the League to get report
from an international commission
on the Manchurian incident.
BY that time, it was too late.
The Jap warlords we're firmly en-
trenched. The seeds of World War
II we're well planted. And, most
important of all, every other would
, be aggressor realized that he could
thumb his nose at international
law, and the League would do
nothing.
An age was dying; an age OF
international optimism, isolationism,
and Harding normally. An age
was dying and Henry L. Stimson
struggled almost alone to give it
renewed life.
+ Leaving a sickbed in the spring
| of 1882, he sailed for Paris de-
| termined to warn the statesmen of
Europe that they were sealing their
own doom. Renting a villa at
Geneva, he called in the Prime
Ministers of Western Europe and
argued that Japan's far-away ag-
gression against China could be
greater threat to them than any
menace in Europe.
He urged that tnev take a firm
stand to bolster the worlds peace
machinery in order to head off
war in the future.
But he failed
1881 VS.. lSs5
Those were dark days in Slim
sons Villa Besinge on Lake Gen
eva. His room looked out on an
old garden sheltered by high trees,
in which roasted flocks of birds
And sometimes, when he could not
sleep and work dragged endlessly,
Stimson stood at his window look
ing out upon the trees and the
moon and the shadows they cast
upon the garden, and remembered
the world war days when he was
a colonel of artillery in France.
Out among the poplars he saw
again that line of men from the
fields, the factories, the sea, going
forward; and the line of women,
wounded men, exhausted men, going
back. A panorama of his life lay
before him then, the latter years
having been given to rebuilding
equity and understanding among
the peoples of the world.
And he had failed.
The importance of Korea is that
in exactly the same part of the
world, few miles from the spot
where the Jap warlords invaded
Manchuria, Russia, twenty years
later, has launched her first move
in World War III.
But this time, the newly formed
peace machinery of the world func-
toned overnight. This time Re-
publican senators, previously isol-
ationist, supported the United Ma
tons. Perhaps it was because
Taft, Knowland, and COP col
leagues had been shouting about
Truman's failure in the Far East
that caused them to reverse their
previous isolation
! Whatever the reason, this time
both the United Nations and the
United States Senate acted in uni
son. That's why Korea may be a
milestone in the path of war
weary world toward a day when
we can prevent wars altogether.
