CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) A RIDDLE IN AMERICAN HISTORY Figuring out the rights and wrongs of historic events is sometimes a fairly tough job. A brief news item in the dail brings up one of the most perp! in American history. This item told of the di 1 Of William Buci:ner, who died in Missouri at the 232 of 161 and who was one of the two remaining survivors of the war with Mexico. It calls to mind an episode out of a pasi tha: seems in- credibly remote. The men who fought in the Mexican war were gray-bearded veterans when the Civil war came ground. Grant, Les, McClellan, Jackson—they were stripling lieutenants in '48; like the rest of the army, they wore the queer, romantic-looking unforms that the West Point cadets wear today, used wheezy old muzzle-loading muskets and endured a campaign in the tropics swathed in stiff collars and high leather helmets, unbearably hot. It is perplexing enough, ordinarily, to figure out the rights or wrongs of any war; but this war with Mexico is the toughest problem of the lot. On the face of it, it was a supremely unjust and wicked war. A relatively large and sirong nation—the United States —attacked a small and weak nation, Mexico, after trump- ing up a very thin excuse, for the avowed purpose of grabbing some territory. Might made right; Mexico ceded California, New Mexico and Arizona, and aban- doned its tenuous claim to Texas. On the face of it, it was a piece of villainy; and the history books that tell us we ought to be achamed of our record are doubtless correct And yet... would any man undo it, and put Cali- fornia, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona back under the Mexican flag? “Millions of progressive, educated and Prosperous men and women live in those states today; does anyone dream of suggesting that the same would be true if those states had always remained in Mexico? So there you have your problem. The war was wrong, by every standard you can apply—and yet it worked out as if it had been right. Surely it is not going too far to say that all of North America is better off today than it would be if the war had not been fought. So what's the answer? History is full of incidents like that. Justice, in some strange way, does seem, at times, to grow out of injustice. And it is almost beyond our power to figure it out. Does it mean that the old-fashioned doctrine, “what- ever is, is right,” is correct after all? Or does it simply mean that the human race has a genius for muddling through; that people ean make the best of a bad bar- gain, and can make events work out properly even from @ bad beginning? It is a queer riddle. If you can solve it you will know more about the invisible we call Destiny than most men ever hope to know. the other day es of that kind DROPPING What the speculative world believed could not be done is being done and has been done for tine last four and one-half months. By methods described by Charles 8. Mamlin, a member of the fe“eral reserve board, as a “new technique,” the board has since February brought about a material . ‘ction in loans on securities. Doubling of the volume of loans on securities between 1922 and 1928, coincident with but an 18 per cent increase in commercial loans, had brought about an unbalanced Sredit situation with which the board felt constrained to deal. The pressure for action through increases in the r2- discount rate above 5 per cent, which would have put @ burden upon hard-pressed business <~ well as speculators, was resisted through skepticism as to the success of what might be called the “moral suasion” method. But “moral suasion” has turned the trick. Since Feb- Tuary the board, through pressure cxerted by member banks, effected a $300,000,000 reduction in loans on se- curities and a $361,000,000 increase in commercial loans. Having proved that diversion of federal reserve credit into speculative channels can be curbed. without serious injury to agriculture or business, it is likely the “new technique” can prevent a recurrence of the dangerous condition without new legislation from congress when it reconvenes in August. NOBLEST Of all the birds that man has taken unto himself for a friend, the pigeon is the noblest. The peacock is as vain as he is handsome. The turkey is pompous, and the hen, excellent and necessary though she is for many purposes, has a mean, fussy and timorous disposition. The par- rot is a tolerable companion, but he has no brains and hhis wit is unconscious, and therefore no wit at all. And the canary, invaluable in a submarine or down a mine shaft as a test of the purity of the air, is very poor eat- ing. But the pigeon is splendid as well as useful in his life, and in death he is a considerable delicacy to the epicure. ‘The preacher in Ecclesiastes who cried, “A bird of the the voice and that which hath wings iter,” doubtlessly referred to the carrier ine represented to be certain in the diagnosis of p been tested and found to have altogether too ailments, Bis-.|cntly forgetting that Catholic missionaries, imbued with MISSIONAIRES “Every American is at heart an evangelist,” wrote a Freneh traveler after a visit to the United States. He spoke of American protestants as imbued with a missionary spirit that is typically Anglo-Saxon, appar- the same spirit, cvoked the valleys of the St. Lawrence and the Mississippi from the unknown. Not a cape was turned, not a river was entered that one of them did not lead the way. ‘The Christian missionary has been in the van of the jmigrations that have peopled the prairics and the valleys beyond. The people of the United States come honestly by the missionary spirit, both by inheritance and expe- rience, and deem themselves under some obligation to share with the rest of the world what has come to them of missionary enterprise since the days of the pioneer missionaries in the British Isles. In this age, when the conveniences of civilization tend to waft men to heaven “on flowery beds of ease,” it Is inspiriting that there are still men and women who have | the zeal of those carly Christian missionaries and who are ready to endure any hardship, face any peril and make |any sacrifice to carry their gospel around the earth. Everywhere the American missionary has gone, preach- ing his gospel and illustrating it by building schools, | founding hospitals, orphanages and asylums, and bring- ing physical, mental and spiritual betterment. UNFAVORABLE For the first time since April, 1926, tif® value of ex- ports has fallen below the total for imports. Ordinarily from April to June there is a shrinkage in outgoing ship- ments, and this year proved no exception. But the sure prising feature was the drop of 9 per cent in May ex- ports under May, 1928, in view of the consistently heavy gains which were registered earlier in the year. | The May results in foreign trade created the first | unfavorable balance since April, 1926. The import sur | plus was $14,000,000, and brought the favorable balance | for the first five months of the year down to $298,632,000. Several factors contributed to this disappointing re- sult. Money market developments entered in, since buy- ers in foreign countries where cutrencies are now at a discount with the dollar curtailed their purchases of American goods. Most of the loss in export trade was suffered by cotton due to seasonal reasons. There might be some cause for alarm in the increase in imports if it were not known that the May jump was due to the desire of importers to get in additional stocks before a higher tariff goes into effect. Though an unfavorable trade balance is a threat to na- tional prosperity, there is no immediate cause for con- cern, The May balance can be accounted for satisfac- torily, LINDBERGH TO PULASKI Fame is a fleeting commodity. Today's hero is apt to be forgotten tomorrow. Not even the most daring ex- ploits are proof against eventual obscurity. All of which is by way of preparing ycu fcr a rather odd little news item. In Milwaukee there was, for years, a perk called Pulaski Park. . ‘Two years ago, when Lindbergh flew the ‘Atlantic, the name of this park was changed, by unanimous consent, to Lindbergh Park. Now, on petition of hundreds of Milwaukee citizens, it has dropped its new name and has become, once more, Pulaski Perk. Is Lindy losing his popularity—or were people just too used to the park's old name to get used to a new one? MOTHER INDIA (Washington Star) Certain writers have pictured the women of India as victims of heartrending tyranny. By the sacred Ganges the wife is the slave of her hus- band, subject to his most fantastic whims. If she shows her unveiled face outside the domicile, he is privileged to ou cff her nose. He can curse her, beat her and starve er. The western mind is a bit puzzled over all this. Most of India is subject to a civilized code of laws. If the abused women chose to revcit, ‘hey could put an end to| the atrocious conditions under which they live. Why don’t they put their feet down, as their Occidental sisters would do? One might answer that they are restrained by the strength of the religious traditions in which they have been reared. This is part c’ the answer, but it does not really get to the bottom of the situation. People the world over have a happ, ‘aculty of interpreting religious traditions in terms of their own convenience. Moral codes change ev-rywhere with changing tim:s. The women of India are no exception. e Catholic missionaries now attending the mission cru- sade at Catholic University corse closer to the truth, paradoxical as it may sound, in their interpretation of this curic condition. In the first place, they say, t’e wo~--an of India is not so badly a.used as has been implied. The hen-pecked husband is no exception in the d-~estic picture. Secondly, her present condition is largely of her own making.~ She is high priestess of the religious philosophy that makes her the slave of her husband. Her very slavery is the source of her power. She finds an outlet for her emotions in the very fanaticism of her ancient creeds. It is the men who, with wider interests and broader outlooks, sometimes try to revolt against the traditions that make their wives their slaves, and, by that very condition, make the lords and masters them- selves the slaves of their wives and the 5 The soul of the Indian woman is chained—but she has wrought the chains herself out of the gold of her cmo- tions. She \ill not consent to put them off. She con- quers by her slavery. ss __By her insistence upon the letter of the law, her pride in serfdom, she is the greatest obstacle to the western- ization of India. Until she has been reached by edu- cation, she is an insurmountable obstacle. THE GOVERNMENT AND EDUCATION (New York Times) ccretary Wilbur has declared that a separate federal depar.‘n:nt of education with representation in the cab- inet is not required, but has promptly taken steps toward ccsembling through expert ascistance information about the results of the present educational activities of the federal gc crnment, with advice as to future policies. This is a much needed study. It is fortun-‘e tha’ the secre- tary of the interior is himsclf so highly qualified to give gcrt.al direction to the inquiry and to avail of its con- clusions, A joint committee of congress on the reorganization of the executive departme::ts made an extensive survey some years ago. found that hardly a session of con- 3 passed witnout Iesi:’-tion creating new agenc: ‘ar >2sing old ones, or imposing new or larger duties, and it arly ever, year - ‘ne executive department orc-nized a new bureau or division for cerrying out tte new requ:rcments.

BOTH WRONGED A 21-year-old girl was recently found practically buried from the world in Moscow. Her parents had kept her in solitary confinement for over a quarter of a century because she was suspected of being a leper. ‘When officials found her buried in straw in an old barn she had the hag- gard, joyless face of an old woman. iDAY.... All little girl babies of England are wearing yellow, if their mammas can afford to keep the style, because Princess Elizabeth, infant daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York, is decked out in yellow this summer. Thus, in the very cradle, does roy- alty start its job of being aped. Still, why pity them? Most of us, if we're honest, must admit that being royal and being “aped” for every word and gesture and even the color of our garments would not be half bad. ss * CATS SCRATCH, TOO Mrs. Hoover hasn't had to wait long to learn the pitfalls that do hedge a!they learned she was a le; qucen, and that cats not only look;sreater a crime than the at them, and dare anybody to stop;lightenment was kept from her par- ‘em, but that they get their claws out, | ents. ‘ = 00.
