CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) —— Russia Wars on Peace Pact ‘The meaning of the surly answer from Moscow to the reminder that Russia is signatory to the Kellogg-Briand peace pact and morally bound, therefore, to avoid going to war with China over the Chinese Eastern railway, simply is that Russia did not sign in good faith. It was a mistake to take Russia into the compact renouncing war #5 a means of settling international dis- putes, The Russian attitude always has been cynical and hypocritical. It has been that so much so that the international conception of Russia has long been that of “the bear which walks like a man.” Deception and subterfuge have been the key impressions the other na- tions and peoples have derived from the unwavering policy of the St. Petersburg and Moscow governments, the one of the czars, the other of the communist pro- letariat known as the soviets. What could be expected of such a regime in the present crisis in China? ‘The situation which has developed thus becomes a critical one for the peace policy of the Hoover adminis- tration and it menaces at the outset the splendid attempt to usher in a new era in the affairs of the world in which peace and methods to maintain it should become the paramount consideration of the nations. eee The council of the Chinese government in addressing an appeal to the League of Nations and to the individual signatories of the Kellogg-Briand pact, asking these to take steps to halt and punish the Russian invasion of Chinese territory, called into existence the present diplomatic situation in which Moscow takes a sneering view of the response of the United States to the Nan- king appeal. That sneering view is that “the pact of Paris does not give any single state or group of states the function of protector of this pact.” The United States was not so much attempting that as to induce Rus- sia to protect the pact, it pretended to have made part of its law. ‘The reply is as cynical as the attitude of Russia in trying to sovietize and communize China while it still was deep in the throes of its civil war. Then, it will be recalled, its diplomatic representatives worked openly to make China a nation of reds, 2 menace to the peace, the demo cracy and the civilization of the entire world, a cats- paw of Moscow. China not only recoiled from the role tito which it was almost led so unwittingly as a result of war blindness, but it drove out the borers from within which Moscow had so cunningly placed at points of van- tage in the guise of diplomatic and consular representa- tives to China. eee Why should not the United States remind a signatory of the pact which had its birth in the capital of this country and was designed to become a world policy of universal peace—why should it not remind such a na- tion of the palpable negation of the war renunciation in the steps Moscow was pursuing in Manchuria, of in- vading Chinese territory, of bombing and bombarding villages and in slaughtering the inhabitants, men, women and children as it slaughtered the czarist family? How could any signatory remain blind and deaf and mute in such a state of affairs if its adhesion to the peace pact had any element of sincerity and faith? Russia has raised the question and answered it wit @ sneer which implies insincerity and hypocrisy when it signed the pact and, on the heels of this duplicity, is displaying a spirit of barbaric turpitude in its inter- national relations, The basis of this critical situation for the entire policy of peace as laid down in the Kellogg-Briand pact had its origin in Russia starting trouble in Manchuria last duly when its agents on the jointiy owned Manchuria railroad used their positions for red propaganda. China seems to have begun the real row by kicking out the * Russian agents and taking over the railroad. Neither. therefore, is wholly guiltless. ; eee Meanwhile both nations had signed the peace pact, re- nouncing war as a means for settling international dis- putes. Gradually, as the clashes between the Chinese and Russians grew more violent and assumed more of @ real military character, it dawned on world statesmen | ph! that here the peace pact was to bke:put to a life-and- death test of its efficacy. Secretary Stimson reminded both nations of the alarming latitude they were tak- . ing in view of the international obligations toward world peace. The trouble continued and now the Washington appeal through European chancellories having diplomatic relations with Moscow brings the present crisis for the pact, Washington is trying to mobilize the only force back of the peace pledge—the force of world opinion There is no other means of enforcing it other than this public opinion and the conscience of the nations. eos To comprehend the crisis that this presents to the Hoov= administration it is only necessary to recall the extent to which the president has based his interna- on the London naval reduction conference. Nations unwilling to reduce armament would find a new argu- ment to support their contentions. Particularly if in- vocation of the Kellogg pact should fail to stop the war in Manchuria would Japar insist upon the inercased allowance of big cruisers and submarines for which she is contending. Toy Tips for Christmas | Some very timely—and very wise—suggestions have | been put forth by the extension service of the Iowa State [college at Ames, Ia. under the head of “Choosing | Christmas Toys.” They will help parents, uncles and | &unts and other persons who are now pondering this | welghty question and at the same time gid in developing | the education and the character of the child and tn safe- | guarding him from injury. Here is what the pamphlet says: ‘1. Toys must be safe. There must be no tacks or | small bells and buttons that can be pulled off and swal- | lowed by the child. Baby's toys should be washable since jhe puts practically everything in his mouth. Hair on | dolls and dogs, which becomes dirty with use, may be a source of danger. Guns may be dangerous and they foster carelessness in the use of firearms. Toys that jcreate the spirit of destructiveness and foster callous- ness toward the value of human life should be dis- | couraged. For small children avoid toys that make startling noises and sudden movements. Toys must be durable in material and workman- Any toy that pulls to pieces easily is a poor pur- Since such toys are too filmsy for proper care ‘and repair, they encourage extravagance, while the toys | that resist wear and tear encourage thrift and conserva- | tion of property. “3. Toys should be artistic in color, form and ex- Pression. The child’s appreciation of artistic qualities and his attitude toward things and people are greatly affected by his earliest toys. Avoid poorly proportioned and ugly shapes, simpering experssions (as on dolls), inharmonious colors and harsh, jangling noises. Harsh sounds from toys are not only unpleasant for the family, but they have an unwholesome effect on the child. Toy musical instruments should be chosen for their pleasing sounds. If these do not produce the notes in a fairly true manner, leave them in the shop if you value the child’s development of musical appreciation. “4. Toys should be adapted to the age and continued usc of the child. Blocks are the best example of play material that adapts itself to the successive stages of the child's development. As a tiny infant he enjoys grasping and staring at bright colored blocks. Later he gets much pleasure from handling, putting them in a basket and dumping them out again. “When the baby is 2 years old he can fit his blocks together in a box, and make trains and houses of several of them. From 3 to 6 years he begins to arrange them in simple designs, while blocks of various sizes and shapes will be used to build imaginative trains, towers and bridges. Dolls, clay crayons and blackboard, col- ored beads and tinker toys are playthings that hold the child's interest as he grows older. “Older children should have toys that satisfy their love of activity and their desire for sports and games. Girls will enjoy dolls and housekeeping toys but they should be encouraged in sharing outdoor or athletic in- terests with boys. In buying sports material, buy only things of good quality. Equipment that encourages in- terest in scientific experimentation is splendid.” Millions for Community Chest Cleveland has just completed a campaign in which the largest Community fund in its history was subscribed. The goal was $4,650,000 and the amount was oversub- scribed. Leaders of the campaign were a bit fearful that the stock market crash might have a serious effect on this year’s campaign. Workers were instructed as to how to counteract this reason for not subscribing to the cam- paign or for decreasing previous contributions. Much has been said about how the public was in the market and it is undoubtedly true that a large number of people lost in the crash. But possibly, the number of people who lost is much smaller than assumed. There are more than 100 million people in this country, and it is true that a large percentage of them is not familiar with buying on margin, bull markets and selling short. The success of the Cleveland Community fund cam- Paign on the heels of the stock market crash seems to indicate the number of market speculators has been | overestimated. Editorial Comment .
