Logan Payne Co. NEW YORK Fo! CHICAGO BOSTON The European Union Pretensions to the hegemony of Europe have through- out its history been the disturbing element on that con- tinent and the moving factor of its warfares. In the modern era which the advent of America in its colonial days sets off as a section of history woven into the pres- ent-day fabric, the rivalries of England and France first. had to be brought to decision in a long series of conflicts which eventually gave the British Isles primacy and re- duced France to a second position. The consolidation of the British Empire grew out of those conflicts, which stripped France of its American colonial holdings, later lost it its opportunities in India, which England then ex- ploited, and again, later, deprived it of the strategic pos- session of the Suez canal. At a later period than these Anglo-French wars, Eu- Tope witnessed another consolidation of empire within its borders, when the rival pretensions of Prussia and Austria to Teutonic hegemony came to the issue of the sword:and Prussia humbled Austria in six weeks, then fought the same issue over again with France four years later, the resulting triumph proving to be the enabling factor in the unification of the German Empire. Europe had witnessed one other remarkable consolida- tion when under the former Victor Emanuel and Gari- baldi the states of Italy were welded into a kingdom with the aid of the statesmanship of Cavour. cote One of these grand moments of history again is knock- ing at the doors of Europe in a proposal for the most striking unification ever proposed on that continent, and again the play of hegemony is entering into the calcu- lations with which the various nations are receiving the Proposal—none other than that of Aristide Briand— foreign minister and former premier ever so often of France—for the creation of the “European Union.” Briand’s vision, first given utterance at the League of Nations session of last September without any attempt to give it detailed form, has again been put forth, this time in mid-May in the form of somewhat concrete pro- Posals to 26 European chancellories, with an invitation to send in observations by July 15, evidently at that time so that M. Briand can lay definite information as to Eur- ope's attitude on the matter before the September ses- sion of the League. Briand’s proposal would at first contact give the tm- pression of a peace movement solely, and such it is, but because of the interplay of world conditions one sees also that it is the result of technological economic pressure, whereby it would become the vehicle for solving social and industrial problems weighing heavily on all Europe, even to be felt in this country. The ordinary impulse would be to rate it as a piece of benevolent intent alone, new means of disarming Europe of its feuds, of en- deavoring to produce happiness where suspicion, hatred and war had occupied the minds of the nations so long and had entailed so much misery and destruction and disunity. eee The reaction, however, is to the political aspect of the Proposal. Britain, to judge by its newspaper comment, shies aside at the outset, as a scheme lkely to deprive it of the splendid isolation which is a favorite fiction with Englishmen. The conservative and nationalistic organs of Germany see in it only the desire to preserve the French hegemony attained through the Treaty of Versailles. The reaction of Italy, however, is what counts most in the fortunes of the Briand proposal—for the Success or failure of its reception by the 26 nations to “which it has been submitted. Dictator Mussolini speaks for Italy and he has emitted @ blast little short of an actual declaration of war on France. In an amazing verbal belch before 100,000 Black Shirts at Florence, the fascist dictator gave ut- terance to indirect hostility for the plan in this bit of war-lordism: “Though words are beautiful things,” he blurted, “muskets, machine guns, ships, airplanes and cannon are much more beautiful things, because right, if unaccom- panied by might, is a vain word. Fascist Italy, which is Powerfully armed, can now propose its alternative—either our precious friendship or our dangerous hostility.” This greeting of the plan by the dictator was in his usual churlish, swashbuckler vein and it places a big obstacle in the path of Briand at the outset, for a Eur- pean Union should have Italy in it if it is to measure up to the vision of the idea. Unless the scheme is to unite all of Europe outside of Russia—which for com- munistic reasons could not now be considered eligible for inclusion—it is not going to rise to the stature of its designation. Moreover, abstention of Italy would very likely give. rise, by the power of suggestion, to hesitancy ‘on the part of other countries to entering the union, eae Britain already feels that way, due, as the London Times suggests, to the double position the empire oc- cupies geographically and historically as part Eurcpean, Part African, part Asiatic and part American Power, whereby it is necessary first of all to consider the polit- ical and economic stability of its far-flung territories, rather than to assume responsibilities on behalf of other nations which such a European union as Briand has Suggested would entail. The outcome of the naval con- ference has taught Britain to beware of entanglement with other nations of Europe, for France and Italy really wrecked the vision with which the naval conference started. Britain does not feel that it could cooperate with nationalistic spirit so at variance with the benev- olent dream of @ world committed to peace, for the at- titude of France and Italy in the conference was such as virtually to render a European Union non-cooperative in the field where its mechanism were most to be de- sired—in eliminating war. For Italy, for instance, Mus- ‘olini’s outburst has shown that peace is not hmong the objectives that country would make the basis of adhesion to a union. While it might be disposed to join for the sake of other intefstate considerations pertaining to European affairs, even these might not be smoothly Adaptable 5 the imperial Progtam of which Mussolini at times reveals hints as animating the policies of the peninsular kingdem. The Briand Union would have to become such in fact as well as in name by growth. Little definite in purpose could be possible at the outset. In fact, he stipulates that |there should be a general pact affirming the broad principle of the moral union of Europe, by which verious countries would be engaged to meet regularly for dis- cussion of their problems. Briand would set up as or- ganization a president, a limited committee and a secra- tariat, with mectings at Geneva. In such meetings an unwritten constitution by precedent, or even a written charter might be developed from time, just as the British constitution has been developed by political evolution. The tariff would be one of the big topics for the Union to work on. This would bring the Union into actual contact with the United States and might have a profound effect on the future of this nation through the consequent eco- | nomic or industrial reaction. The European Union, in fact, becomes one of the big potentialities of the entire | world. With the feverish efforts making in Russia to | forge a vast producing nation, both in agriculture and manufacturing, the proposed European Union would seem a desirable step for the western portion of Europe to adopt. Unitedly the nations of Europe outside of Rus- sia ought better be able to cope with any cdnditions ereated by the Soviet Republics than dealing with the problems individually. That really is the big consider- ation that should sway Briand’s 26 countries included in the plan of union. Too Near Perfection A young man who is just learning a new sport, a new art or a new profession is generally advised to watch ; the leaders in that line’and see how they do things. Or- dinarily that's good advice; but it occurs to us that in golf there are times when it doesn’t work. Take, for instance, Bobby Jones. In the recent British tournament, Bobby teed off on a 430-yard hole with a 300-yard drive that landed plunk in a deep sand trap. Then, unflustered, he proceeded to sock the ball out of the sand, drive it to the green, 130 yards away—and watch it trickle into the cup. Despite the fact that his drive landed him in a trap, he had made a par four hole in two strokes! The novice, instead of learning anything from a per- formance like that, is apt to be just plain dismayed. Such a stunt looks so far from human that the beginner might well think that there was no use for him to try to copy the great Bobby. Taking to the Air The American public is taking to the air. Last year 90,000 persons made scheduled trips on pas- senger planes—double the 1928 number, and more will ride this yea The people are becoming air-minded. The airplane has ceased to be a novelty and has taken its place along with railroads, buses and automobiles as a standard mode of transportation. % Little more than a year has passed since the modern Passenger transport planes came into use. They are inodels of comfort, speed and dependability, Who can wonder that they are a popular means of travel? Editorial Comment Living Up to the Job (Toledo Blade) That there are two distinct types of old men in busi- ness and industry is given emphasis by a contributor to the columns of the Detroit News. This fact, which is Pretty well understood, explains the lamentable retire- ment of men who have been long in service. There is the man who believes in progress, date, and interests himself in new systems and advanced methods. He does not-resent the introduction of new ways of doing things, but lives up to his job and goes along with it. His experience and adaptability, plus his young-mindedness, make him invaluable. He is not cast out. Another, equal in experience, permits himself to become anchored to the past. Innovations annoy him. He grumbles and turns sour, clings to the traditions of his business or craft, lags behind the procession and is eventually replaced. ‘These two men, imaginary here, exist in real-life. They may equal each other in years, experience and physical strength. But one is mentally young and the other men- tally decrepit. One accepts the present and becomes a part of it; the other holds fast to the past and has no THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, JUNE 2, 1930 NOW THEN, WELL ‘TAKE UP THIS PROBIEM- * AND YOULL STAY RicHT HERE TILL YOu FINISH IT!

It will be almost twice as high as |” the 555-foot Washington monument. In a city of build- ings already higher than the tower of Babel, it will stand out like Gulliver in pygmy lend. Despite the periodically published expert opinions of engineers that commercial structures in excess of twenty or thirty or forty or fifty stories cannot prove profitable, buildings go higher and higher and the sky is the limit notwithstanding that millions must be spent at the out- set for atmosphere only. The builder of one metropoli- ‘tan structure which covers 15,000 square feet of ground space at the foundation, bought 20,000 square feet at high price. He left 5,000 square feet vacant in order that his forty-five story tower might have light and air with- out which it would be comparatively valueless. I Taking into account the vacant ground space at the base and the setbacks of upper stories, sharks of mathe- matics figure that each of 2,800,000 cubic feet of air and light space costs 89 cents. This very large amount must be included in the sum total of the cost of the buildings and tenants will be expected eventually to pay for it. “Free as the air you breathe” doesn’t mean much in the skyscraper canyons. New Banking Ethics (Louisville Courier-Journal) The responsibility of the banker not only to stock- holders and depositors but to the community, to the nation, to the world, was urged upon the American Bankers’ association last week by Roy A. Young, governor of the Federal Reserve board, as the principal lesson from the stock market crash of last fall. The cost of such periodic panics, he pointed out, is borne throughout the land, and since America has become the foremost creditor nation, echees across the ocean in languishing enterprise, in unemployment and in general depression all of which react upon the banker. This may seem like locking the stable after the horse is gone, or rather of suggesting a remedy when the crisis is past, but it is neither. It is an attempt to show that there may be ways to prevent another such disaster. Governor Young does not suggest them, however. He merely points out that the banker profits from general Prosperity and suffers from depression and that he may be penny wise and pound foolish by sacrificing future welfare by alluring temporary advantages by failing to meet his new responsibility. ‘We must look beyond the safety of the collateral of- fered us for a loan to the safety of the aggregate volume of collateral that we know is being offered to loans in all the banks. When we see au unhealthy development getting under way we must not only protect our own immediate institution, but must take a broader view and act with reference to the interests of the entire com- munity. Tf such a view had been taken when the demands for money at high rates were made by speculators at the expense of business generally, the losses in Wall Street would no doubt have been minimized, and such a view according to Governor Young is “merely enlightened self- interest.” If taken at the start it would undoubtedly have staved off the calamity and the banker would have been the gainer as well as the community, the nation and the world. x America’s recent experience and its new position call for some such addition to the ethics of banking. | NATALIE CONVERSE tries to Scrband, ALAN: wet they quarrel er, BERNADING.

Alan experienced new fear. “You aren't going to tell me now that you think I'm just a nice sort to go around with, are you?” he asked. Phillipa did not answer. “Maybe,” Alan suggested, his trepidation plainly apparent in his voice, “you dread hearing what you think I’m going to say to you. Is that it, Phillipa?” “Dread it?” Phillipa whispered Her accent gave Alan courage, “Perhaps you can't forget the Past,” he went on. “I don't blame you, dear, if you can't.

CATCHING SCORPIONS NEW BUSINESS FOR MEXICANS Durango, Mexico—(#)—A Mexican family started a new business—catch- |ing scorpions. The state government recentiy an- nounced it would pay for all live scorpions delivered to it, and a family of six here entered into the campaign with a vim. In one day 1,000 ecor- pions were caught. The price aver- aged 4 cents per insect, and the six scorpion hunters received $40. Before the campaign ends, the fam- ily expects to make enough money to carry it through the rest of the year. Most of the day's catch was made in the city’s slums. The government uses serum extracted from live scor- pions as an antidote for scorpion bites and during the month of each year pays 2% cents for each male and five cents for each female scor- pion. 11,570 NEW CITIZENS the United States increased by 11,570 new members during March, accord- ing ¢o a recent» report of the Com- missioner of Naturalization.

You want to drop me so that you won't be giving me any false encouragement, It’s hurting your conscience.

Scarlet fever has been called a dis- ease of the neighborly, since neigh- bors often transfer it from one house- hold to another by visiting back and forth. The disease is very infectious, and patients with it should be kept away from others for from three to six weeks, or as long as the skin con- tinues to peel. The beginning of this disease in childrerf often resembles a common head cold. The tonsils are frequent- ly the starting point, and the throat is sore, with some fever and some- times vomiting. The child com- plains that swallowing is painful and he may refuse to take orange juice because it hurts his throat. The fever may range from 103 degrees to 104 degrees or be so low as to be un- noticed. Some cases are quite mild and do not leave complications. The disease is self-limiting, that is, it runs) @ course and comes to an end. i} The period of incubation before the child develops the disease after ex- posure is very short, from two to six days. A slight rash appears on the chest in from two to six hours after the sore throat. From there it spreads over the rest of the body, be- ing thickest on the chest, abdomen and back. The strawberry tongue is very characteristic of this disease. As the fever begins to subside, the rash begins to fade and the throat is less sore. The rash frequently fades by the sixth to ninth day after its appearance. The skin begins to peel off near the end of the first week, and the whole body will usually have scaled off by the third week. One attack of this disease confers immunity. It usually attacks those of from five to sixteen years of age, although older or younger people are sometimes the victims. When un- complicated, the complete recovery usually follows quickly. The ordinary complications are ear trouble, rheu- matism or nephritis. Sometimes the glands in the neck remain swollen. In treating scarlet fever, keep the patient away from others. ‘Put him in bed in a darkened room, and im- mediately begin either a straight wa- ter fast or an orange juice fast. If the orange juice seems to bite the tongue and inflamed ‘tonsils, use straight water for one or two days/ until the juice can be taken. This; restricted diet should be continued} until the skin stops peeling. Give sponge baths of cool water to reduce the fever to below 102.5 degrees and see that patient gets plenty of fresh air. Bowels must be kept open with enemas, using at least two every day during the fever. If these simple in- there will be no danger of bad after effects. «The symptoms need not be compli- cated as long as the child is kept on a fast during the fever and given a non-starchy diet for a few days after he feels like, eating again. Patients | cared for in this way usually show a quick recovery. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: Mrs. M. L.

Enclose a stamped addressed envelope for reply. care of eee ey stomach without undergoing an oper- ation? Is it possible for one to go on seven years with one, and not vomit? Also, does an ulcer cause a large amount of gas?” Answer: It is certaintly possible to cure most cases of stomach ulcers without an operation. It is doubtful if an ulcer will continue to exist in an aggravated form for as long as seven years. Severe ulcers usually Produce vomiting, but sometimes tht patient is only nauseated and cannot vomit. There is generally a large amount of stomach and intestinal gas in @ case of stomach ulcer, but this is also true with gastritis which is so commonly mistaken for ulcer. Have Cow Tested Queston: Mrs. H. G. writes: “Please tell me if drinking the milk from a cow that has been coughing a year could be the cause of me getting thinner since last fall. I am 50 years of age, always rather a thin person but healthy enough. I am feeling well now, but am losing in weight every day.” Answer: If the cow has tuberculosis you should not use the milk as there is danger of contracting this disease in this way. I suggest that you have @ careful examination to see what is causing your thinness. It would also be a good plan to have the cow tested. Mascara Question: C. S. writes: “I use mascara on my eyelids. I always wash it off at night. Please tell me whether the use of mascara is harm- ful to the eyes.” Answer: Mascara is not harmful to the eyes if you are careful not to allow any of it to get unde the cye- lids.

As the Greatest loss of soil moisture is through plants, the killing of weeds is a powerful factor in conserving the moisture for the growing corn. The old idea of cultivation to form a cust mulch in order to save moisture doesn’t work out. Putting low roosts in brooder houses when chicks are four to five weeks old will keep the chicks off the floor and prevent crowding. Feed and weed flavors which are sometimes so noticeable in milk are usually due to the cow eating highly flavored feeds, rather than to the flavors and odors being absorbed aft- er the milk is drawn.

It surprised him a trifle, when Phillipa nodded her head in accent. “Yes, I might have,” she said gravely; “for Geoffrey’s a darling. He doesn’t have to be married for his social importance. Yes, to be honest, Alan, I think I would have accepted him, if it hadn’t been for you.” Alan wasn’t altogether pleased with her statement. “I’m not sure 1 like to hear you say you would be willing to marry for money, under any circumstances, Phillipa,” he told her. “I didn’t say that, Alan. I said Geoffrey was a darling. 1 think 1 might have mistaken my liking for him for love if I hadn't known what the real thing {s.” Alan was pleasantly mollified, “Geoffrey is a fine kid,” he agreed. “I hope no girl will marry him for anything but love,” Phillipa re- marked. “He doesn’t deserve such a fate.” “You believe in love, don't you?” Alan quizzed teasingly, Phillipa thought it a tactless question. It showed his experience. ripened view of the grand passion too clearly. It was unimportant to her that she did not tove him, but she resented his apparent realiza- tion that he was not desperately in love with her. But she could not afford to quar. rel with him yet. Her eyes grew soft as a velled moon as she looked up at him and said: “Of course I do, Alan.” Alan was touched by the wistful- ness in her tones, “Perhaps,” he said impulsively, “you can teach me the real mean- ing of love, Phillipa.” Only a tear, winking in Phillipa’s hiding something from me,”.he ac-| eye, answered him. cused. “What happened?
