Splendid Isolation England and the United States—mother and child— 600! nas come.’ Then they are full of pity. They berate have always had one thought in common and that was England was not more or less allied with some other por= tion of Europe and not isolated at all—especially when a ‘war was on. In the World war the English isles fought swith the allies against Germany, yet in the Napoleonic wars they fought under the Iron Duke against France in alliance with Germany, led by Blucher. In the Crim- ean war they fought with France against Russia, then in ft not impossible to fly, while boats even smaller than the caravels of Columbus have made voyages safely across the Atlantic—only this barrier to geographical intimacy exists. No, we are not isolated. We are not even unentangled. strifes of that quarrel-ridden continent. Just mow the flag of isolation is being run to the mast- head once more. Ruth Hanna McCormick's victory in the Republican senatorial primary in Illinois, where she based her campaign on opposition to the World court, ds helping the cause along, We are-being urged, as of old, to tend strictly to our knitting and let the rest of mankind get along as best it can; for all European na- tions, as everybody knows, are grasping and predatory, gonniving for our downfall, Since the issue evidently is going to be with us for a ‘while, it might pay to examine this isolation of ours and see just how much it amounts to, There are two or three pertinent facts for us to consider. First of all, American delegates have just finished making agreements with the representatives of other nations, at London, for a general limitation of naval armaments. This was done because all hands agreed that there was altogether too much chance of another dust possible that somebody in Washington remembered ‘that 2,000,000 American soldiers had to go to France a ecade ago because a Serbian plotter shot the heir to the Austrian throne. ‘Then, in New York, we have one Dr. Eckener of Gér- many making arrangements with American financiers for a trans-Atlantic Zeppelin line, to lop # couple of days pft the distance between the new world and the old and cut our isolation down still further. fegin to wonder if there is any such thing as isolation in this modern world. ‘Much as we might like to let the rest “of the world go by, it may be that the day when we could me ‘hides bebind a woman's skirt. The mean- ‘guutdeter is, the’ mere prone he is to invoke syme 4 crime. He is always “sorry for his wife.” See THE BISMARCK faith irretrievably and wrecked her life to the full limit of his ability. Dr. Snook said it, and Judd Gray, and other depicable specimens too numerous to mention. But why does it always have to come so late? Murders like these—crimes of passion, as to the French call them—are always the final climax to a long series of indiscretions and follies, They come when a situation has progressed so far, and has got its principals into such & hopeless tangle, that a deed of violence looks like the only solution. But it is noteworthy that the men in such cases never stop to consider their wives until at last the catastrophe vy vy themselves soundly, and beg forgiveness. And—wives being a long-suffering race—the forgiveness is usually granted. It is all rather disgusting, and it puts the erring hus- band in a pretty. poor sort of light. Why, oh why can’t @ man who has put his foot into a mess like that take what comes to him without crawfish- ing? Why can't he ‘understand that an expression of pity and a plea for forgiveness are worse than useless? |} Probably that’s too much to expect. There will always be @ Certain type of man who will follow his self-indulg- ence until it leads him to disaster; and that type, unless human nature changes, will always realize, just too late, that he has beén a colossal sap, and will squeal that he really does love his wife very, very much after all, : i fl i 3 fi I i E t No Reason for Secrecy ‘There is room for two opinions about the advisability of confirming Judge Parker's appointment to the supreme court; but it is hard to see how there can even be any argument about the proposal that the senate pass on the matter in executive session. However the vote on confirmation may go, the people quite certainly. ‘are entitied to know how each senator votes on it. There is no- shadow of an excuse for a secret ballot. Cowardice is the only possible reason that would make any senator want to cast his vote in secret on this issue. If the senate does go into executive session to pass on this matter, it will justify all of the bitter criticisms that have been made of it in the last decade. It will be doing something absolutely inexcusable, ; } Bs ahr | 4 2 int e i it 5 Z i 3 i s it i Bs i ii g Z Hl af | Today Is the fn ‘Anniversary of | || Sea On April 25, 1st, Guglielmo Mar 5 . 25, re An Interesting Experiment cont, an Italian electrical “engineer Say what you will about the Russian Communists, |famed as the inventor of the you must at least admit that they're not afraid of experi. ‘elesraph, was born of an Taken ments. logna, Italy.
