Kresge Bidg (Official City, State and County Newspaper) THE PEACE PACT ‘With the ratification of the Kellogg peace pact. an- other significant step toward adjustment of interna- tional friction without recourse to war has been achieved The pact already had been signed by 60 of the world’s nations when the U. S. senate ratified it, Tuesday, by a vote of 8 to 1. It was delayed in the serfate by the fear that the Monroe Doctrine would be compromised by its adoption. There also was the question whether it ‘was interpretable as a bar to war in self-defense. Senator Borah, who steered the bill, took the ground that the treaty in no way would prevent a war between nations each going to battle under a self-defense plea. Tt may seem to some Americans that not much was gained with such loopholes in the plan. Some even may think with the late Theodore Roosevelt that war is a biological recurrence. But it is to be assumed that most People will feel with the late President Harding, that “it must not occur again,” and so will hail the pact as a Great international achievement. At most the treaty may be only a gesture. It is, how- * ever, a step in the right difection—with reservations. Perhaps under its mantle, signatory nations may seek to take cunning advantages of each other. They have . given their assent to a stipulation that they “solemnly |‘ declare in the names of their respective peoples that -. they condemn recourse to war for the solution of inter- ) national controversies and renounce it as an instrument Of national policy in their relations with one another. ‘The high contracting parties agree that the settlement @f solution of all disputes or conflicts of whatever hature _ Or whatever origin they may be, which may arise among them, shall never be sought except by pacific means.” ‘This may hold them, but then it may all be treated _ @ome day as another mere scrap of paper. As Senator * Borah put it, “a nation must answer to the tribunal of Public opinion as to her right to go to wat. The only censor of her action is the power of public opinion.” Certain it is that the world has not been honest on Seek SSL Lea ae ee arene emnen ese AOR 1 SRE ee 8 Nevertheless, France from that time forward took steps to increase her military establishment. ‘Then recently there was exposed an attempt behind the back of the United States to unite France and Eng- Yand in & naval agreement.

If too much discipline is detrimental to the character of the child, will not too many laws tend to undermine the national character? As a rule laws are futile in strengthening the character of an individual or a people. Often statutes have served to retard the natural development of character through education.

Who is at fault when others use the whip they have given OBEYING THE CONSTITUTION You might keep a careful ey: on Congress during the next few days to see just what it does with the Fenn reappointment measure. During the past presidential campaign we had a great deal of talk about the necessity of obeying our constitu- tion. The Fenn bill provides an excellent test to see whether the people who praised the constitution so loudly are now willing to live up to its provisions. The constitu- tion requires reapportionment; a congressman who votes against the Fenn bill has little licerise to call other parts of the constitution sacrosanct. There is no real, valid argument against the Fenn bill. Its ultimate fate will be a good measure of the integrity and conscientiousness of Congréss. - s°RRTET*E z < epee eat aft lily iene F.

Lehr recently died in Baltimore, leaving a kind of fame as peculiar as a man might gain. In the gay nineties Lehr was called the “P. T. Barnum of So- society.” He indulged in many odd pranks for the delecta- tion of the 400 at New York and Newport. Once he in- vited friends to a formal dinner for a monkey. At an- other time he feted a white mule in similar fashion. Once he waded in a lawn fountain, clad in evening dress. And so on, to the great amusement of an earlier generation. 4 Given half a dozen decades out of all eternity to do something notable and worthy, men often get off on cur- fous tacks.

H. writes: “I was taught that vegetables should be ven- tilated while cooking so I never use & tight cover but allow any gases that may’ be generated to escape. Has the ventilation theory been en' superseded? I find that vegetables cooked with a lid produce more gas.” Answer: Most foods should cooked in almost air tight vessels, but such foods as cabbage, brussel sprouts and cauliflower will be less sel, for then the sulphur fumes escape more readily. If this sulphur gas is retained it will cause flatulence. X-Ray Burn Question: L. M. asks: “What the best treatment that could be ef- fected for healing an X-ray burn?
