The Italian government’s position, af- ter the assassination of members of a mission, threatened war in Europe for a time and was declared by observers to be x deliberate flouting of the League of Nations. The British government, one of the sponsors of the league, did not hesitate to take action to punish the Egyp- tin government after General Lee Stack, the sirdar, was assassinated. Egypt has presented her case to the League ot Nations, but the British intend to settle the matter them- selves. Many supporters of the League of Nations in England and elsewhere were dismayed by the British government’s action. George Bernard Shaw, the playright, is among those who criticizes the government and sees a blow to the League of Nations in the action. The keen-minded Shaw declares that if the British government, sponsor. of the League of Nations, will not carry complaints to it and in- stead seeks to punish wrongs in a manner which invites war, the League of Nations must be considered dead. The League of Nations has accomplished many worthy ol:jects, and has made some progress in international social work. But it has failed in the role in which it was conceived as an arbiter between nations and a preventive of punitive ion by one nation against another. The Italian'and Egyp- tian situations are convincing evidence that the League of Nations is at this time an important body. GERMAN LOAN German government recently floated a loan in France! It v a small loan, as such things go—about 15 million d@lars. But the French investor grabbed it and it soared to a premium on the Paris Bourse — above its face value. Meantime, French securities were quoted very low, far be- low pa This borrowing was France’s share in the international loan under the Dav plan. uccess indicates: French investors have faith in the Dawes plan. Also, that they are betting on Germany recovering to a powerful condition. BAKING COMBINES Big baking companies unite in a 500 million dollar cor- poration. About 23 years ago began a period of consolidations of manufacturers in basic industries, many of which came to be known as “trust Right now America is in a similar period of retail con- solidations. The growth of the chain store idea is the out- standing business feature of the present. Are we moving toward a condition of production and distribution dominated by one or a few gigantic companies? FLYING American airplane industry last year turned out nearly 13 million dollars worth of flying machines, says census re- port. This included 505 airplanes and 82 seaplanes. For each plane produced, the aircraft industry had about $22,- 000 of product. While this wasn’t the average cost of plan (for the total must include a lot of repairs and extra parts), it’s plain that flying still is a rich man’s game. , lf your auto stalls, you telephone a garage. ing machine stalls If your fly- your friends telephone an undertaker. : AIRPLANE SERVICE Fokker, who invented the Fokker airplanes’ used so much by Germany in the war, comes to America. He will build up an airplane service to carry passengers, also 100 planes for Uncie Sam. Many of Germany’s master chemists are in America, making dyes and medicines. The Zeppelin industry is transferred to Akron. Our country is attracting some of the best European brains. Increasingly more will come as time passes. Amer- ita has become the world’s industrial Mecca. DYES You have noticed that American-made dyes are steadily getter better. The color “ran” a few years ago. Now they are “fast.” In 1924 America imported 90 per cent of its dyes. This year:96 per cent of our dyes are made in our own country. It is an industry that has come to stay. The American ehemist has no superior. German dyes used to excel, mainly “ because Germany specialized on dyes while we didn’t. In- _telligence has no international borders, SWEET RATIONS About 10 pounds of sugar a year is now eaten by the javerage America in the form of candy. He consumes nearly seven additional pounds in ice cream and soft drinks. i The nation is eating around 100 pounds of sugar a year for every man, woman and child. The figure was 84 pounds itbeforc the war. Prohibition is the main reason, people try- ,ing to get from sugar the stiumlant formerly bottled in "bond. Doctors are a bit worried about the effect on health. WORTHY SENTIMENT A church in N. J. has been criticized by some editors for l'spending $4000 in a year to keep a tree alive. It’s pointed jut. how much good could be done with the $4000. * The answer to this is that the $4000 wouldn’t be made available by its contributors, for any other purpose. This ‘tree happens to be the oldest oak in the state. It was plants ed 400 years ago. No price is too high, for keeping alive a -worthy sentiment or tradition. ‘Most people’s idea of “getting ahead” consists in passing ithe car in front. 4 --There isn’t any payday for laboring under.a delusion, - Comments reproduced in this column may or not express the opinion of The ‘Tribune.

The Herald has defended the pri- have won nomi have been nd the re- both primary ould ations, he and to the n damaging mary election system as long and as stoutly any newspaper, And if the ¢ today were between the prim election and the old-! ishioned convention, the Herald ald choose the primary, with all aults, ‘The primary works badly because the people don't use it as intelligently they should, perhaps in time they would learn by as sad experience to use it more in- telligently. But the choice is not between the | primary election and the old-fash- ioned convention. It is possible to eguard the convention system liy putting it under the regulation of law, and by keeping the primary election in’ reserve as a check against possible abuses of the con- | vention system. If the old convention plan were brought back, presently it would de- velop the old abuses, rule and ma- chine government. But if there re conventions, with delegates duly elected at legally regulated y elections, with ‘a provision | for holding primary nominating elections if the conventions “went wrong,” it would be possible to get all the benefits of the convention plan to forestall most of its evils. The conventions might nomin: © nd in that event if the convention nominations were wisely made the: would probably win in the primary Or there might be convention: with the provision th primary election would be held if the con- vention results dissatisfied enough people to make it possible to get up a pretty stiff petition calling for a primary election, Whatever is done should be done carefully and thoughtfully. It is neither necessary nor wise to be dogmatic about it, and to insist now upon some particular plan. The members of the — legislature should approach the problem with open minds and with the sole pur- pose of getting up a nominating system that would do the most good that will make possible wiser se- lection of candidates than the un- adulterated primary election does; that will rid the ballots of the names of irresponsible self-seekers’) who have no qualification except the filing fee; that will restore party responsibility; that will keep the nominating process free from the control of bosses and machi and that will result in nominations in which party members can take pride, and in election results nify the public service. The Herald has stood for the pri- mary system in season and out. But it must confess that this has proved to be another theory that hasn't worked as the theorizers hoped it would. And, surveying with dismay the evidence cluttering up the country that the unchecked primary election has put a premium upon demagogy and has resulted in a marked de- terioration in the public service, the Herald throws up its calls upon the legislature to free the state from the evils of the primary without hurling the state back into the arms of the boss and the ma- chine.

I should think a pinch of snuff would be more like it,” sniffed Dr. Foster. “Aren't there any more riddles?” asked Nancy who got tired of so much talking, “Yes,” said the Riddle Lady. “What is this? “I have more keys than Bluebeard, yet I cannot unlock a door.” Everybody guessed and guessed, but not a soul got it, and finally they all gaye up. “A piano,” said the Riddle Lady, “Now what's this one? “When I am good I am very, to and} candidates for the primary election, } that will dig- | hands erp | very ‘ to another.
