No Rules for War At various conferences held since the close of the World war, rules have been drawn up by pious statesmen for the con- duct of international conflict in the future. Thus it has been agreed that the sinking of ships by sub- marines without warning is against the international code and that poison gas is barred as a weapon, Yet every naval power has its full quota of submarines and every first-class army has a chemical warfare section. In short, despite pacts and treaties, the obvious intention is to use submarines and poison gases in any wars which may come. The best proof of this is contained in disclosure by David Darrah, in a special news dispatch to the Chicago Tribune, that Mussolini has ordered his African army to clean up the Ethiopians before the rainy season starts in June and to use poison gas on a large scale to accomplish the objective. Lest there be too much horror expressed at that, it should be remembered that necessity knows no law, and this is partic- ularly true in warfare, which is a lawless procedure anyway. The only thing which presumes to bar the use of poison gas is a treaty, and one treaty was violated to start the war in the first place. What is one treaty, more or less, when pitted against the facts of national necessity? And that a national necessity exists so far as Italy is con- cerned there is no doubting. If Mussolini is to win he must win quickly. Already he faces trouble at home and the only way to avert it is to achieve victory abroad. It is only natural “¢ that he should take the same pathway that others have fol- lowed before him, attempt to win at whatever cost and by what- ever method. If he looses poison gas upon his untutored enemies, con- demning them to die a choking, gasping death or to suffer slow tortures while their lungs are being eaten out, it might be remembered that dying isn’t a pleasant process at any time and that death from bullets may be just as long in coming and just as painful, War isn’t a pretty business. But those who watch can learn from their observations if they will. One thing they can learn is that treaties are poor defenses for any nation and that any attempt to make rules for war will inevitably result in failure. The Plight of the Birds Nothing emphasizes the need for an enlightened revision of our game laws more strongly than the appeal by James W. Guthrie, head of the Izaak Walton league in Burleigh county, for farmers to feed the game birds now huddled near their homes and barns in search of food and shelter. The Burleigh County Sportsmen’s association, working un- der the leadership of the American Legion conservation com- mittee, reports a fine record of achievement. The Izaak Wal- ton league is interested and helpful, but all the sportsmen to- gether cannot bring to the problem one half the ability which the farmers can. s FOR THE FARMER IS THE MAN ON THE GROUND. City sportsmen, if they would help, must go out from town or send others out, but the farmer is ALREADY THERE. For him the job of preserving our wild life IS AN EASY ONE. And no one is more interested in such preservation than the farmer, whether or not he likes to hunt, For game birds are his best allies in the fight against in- Behind Ae SCeNEeS Washington You'll Be Hearing an Extra Large Earful About the Supreme Court in the Campaign. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Feb. 20.—The issue of @ constitutional amendment is not likely’ to enter the presidential cam- Paign in any large way, but the su- Preme court, the men who serve on the supreme court, and the decisions of the supreme court are sure to be thrown into the forefront. It will be easy to get mixed up as to the extent to which the Constitution really is an issue. The New Deal’s foes will try very hard to make it appear that Roosevelt is a great menace to that document and would like to destroy it altogether. Roosevelt policy, hardly yet evolved, will be to evince reverence for the Constitution while putting over the idea that New Dealers are the Con- stitution’s best friends who seek to save it from the attacks of corpora- tion lawyers and the usurpations of reactionary judges. Both sides will have a certain amount of tongue in cheek, since each in mapping tactics takes into account @ popular reverence for Constitution and court which is based more on instinct and tradition than on knowledge and ee * * The Din Will Be Terrific You will hear Roosevelt compared with Abraham Lincoln, who refused to accept the Dred Scott decision as final, and, while promising to obey it, worked for the day when the court would be anti-slavery. You will hear how the court often reverses itself, how one judge or two can control a nation’s destiny, how the court is divided on liberal-conservative lines closely para- Neling those of the political campaign itself. You will hear how the three liberal justices have challenged the motives of the six conservatives and you will be urged to accept the legal leader- ship of Brandeis, Stone, and Car- dozo—along with the political leader- ship of Roosevelt. And as you hear all that, the an- swering cry of “Communism” and “Socialism” from the Republicans and the Liberty Leaguers will be ringing in your ears. You will have to decide whether to believe the six justices who say they have passed on legislation on purely legal, constitutional grounds or the three justices who insist that the maj- ority has been motivated by economic and philosophic considerations. But first you should check over the backgrounds of the nine justices, to understand the argument. * * % Looking at Their Records The six who voted to kill the AAA (and also took the conservative side in the significant Vermont and North Dakota tax cases) may be classified in accordance with predominant characteristics of their records prior to present service on the court as fol- lows: Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes —Republican office-holder and states- man, presidential candidate and cor- poration lawyer. Pierce Butler—Railroad lawyer. Democrat appointed by Hoover, Owen J. Roberts—Republican, cor- poration lawyer, and Teapot Dome Prosecutor. George Sutherland—Republican po- litician, U. 8. senator, and corpora- tion lawyer. James C. McReynolds — Democrat, corporation lawyer, and trust-buster. Willis Vandevanter—Republican po- liticlan and Republican circuit judge. The three liberal justices may sim- ilarly be classified as: Louis D. Brandeis— Advocate of public causes and legal crusader against “vested interests.” Harlan F. Stone—Republican, pri- marily a teacher of law, but also once a corporation lawyer. Benjamin’ N. Cardozo — Legal scholar and jurist. * * * Judge for Yourself ‘There is no taint attached to prac- tice as a corporation lawyer or to participation in the game of politics. Most able lawyers become corporation lawyers and many of the ablest statesmen have been smart politicians. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1986__ The Lochinvars Have Come Out of the West! IS HARVARD CRIMSON? (Chicago Tribune) Jim Farley probably understands as well as any man in the country just how President Conant of Harvard feels in a little trouble to which he office would cause him to be sympa- thetic with any other victim of em- barrassment caused by trifles getting out of hand. In Mr. Farley’s case there was the incident of the collec- tors’ stamps he gave away to notable friends, and also the letter indorsing Upton Sinclair and EPIC in Cali- fornia. Dr. Conant’s embarrassment arises in Germany. Ernst Hanfstaengl is a devoted Harvard graduate. He ts also Hitler’s very close personal friend; and foreign press chief for him. Fur- thermore, he’s an illustration of Hit- ler’s hypnotic power. When he re- turned to Germany from the United States he regarded the Nazi pheno- menon with amazement, unable to understand how so many solid and sober minded people had been swept away in a flood of enthusiasm. Out of curiosity he went to hear Hitler speak and presently found that he was losing his own head. He soon was der Fuehrer’s devoted campanion and follower. In moments when) melancholy, fatigue and weltschmerz| pressed heavily upon the eccentric! leader until he was about to swoon Hanfstaeng] would be David to his Saul, using the piano instead of the harp. Hanfstaengl did not, however, for- get Harvard. A university is always willing to accept contributions from its loyal sons, and one day there came back to the faithful old grad. The Nazi treatment of the German uni- versities and the Nazi attitude ward intellectual and scholastic free: dom were such as to taint a gift from @ man who supported the system of intolerance. The loyal son was hurt, the Nazis were indignant, but Har- vard had made its point and the point cost only $1,000. So far so good. But there is a turn for the worse. Harvard is celebrating the 300th anniversary of its founding. Nafur- ally enough, it is an occasion for in- creasing the endowment of the coun- try’s oldest university. Its sons are spread out all over the world and to each of them of whom there is a rec- ord an announcement of purposes was. sent in the form of a printed letter signed by President Conant. So it befell that the Harvard friend of Herr Hitler received an invitation from his alma mater to contribute to the fund being raised.

All queries must be accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope. FOOLISH FEAR OF EXAMINATION ‘Young woman describes a marked irregularity-of her teeth, which natur- ally makes her unduly sensitive about her appearance. She evades ‘social contact with her friends. She says she has been on the point of consult- ing her dentist time and again, but always hesitates—she fears the dentist will only laugh at her.... : ; This girl’s attitude is no more senseless and absurd than the attitude of thousands of individuals who drift along for months and years, suffering from minor troubles which might be readily corrected if the poor galoots would only consult a physician and receive proper treatment. Knowing doctors, medicine and surgery as I do, I suppose it is difficult for me to view this matter through the eyes of the layman. It is rather the thing we don't know or understand very well that we fear. Once the big noise of @ metropolitan newspaper to which I was a con- tributor, who happened to be suffering with some chronic trouble, noticed in my column a remark which sent him straight off to a physician for exam- ination. After the examination the physician assured the blighter that it was a minor condition, not malignant. For the scare I had given him, I got the air. I wonder how the man would have felt had the examination dis- closed malignancy and timely treatment saved his life? There are thousands of women of middle age who are conscious of slight disturbances, particularly women who have borne several children, yet they hesitate to consult their physicians and too often drift along on the assur- ance of other woman that such troubles are part of the “change of life.” In most instances this foolish notion is responsible for discomfort which simple diagnosis and treatment would prevent. In some instances it costs the victim’s life, for when at last she makes up her mind to go to the doctor and be properly examined it is too late. I am not going to mention the reason why it is too late. Every woman, especially if she is a mother, Hei bina bel pie her health and life and she cannot permit r or pru considerations to deter her from propel care for any disturbance of health. haps aad While we are on this subject, it must be confessed that physipians themselves are still given to indulgence in sheer guesswork in too many in- stances when patients complain of rectal trouble. No matter how com- petent and skilled the doctor, he can’t tell any better than you can whether your trouble is piles, for instance, without an examination. In some cases visual examination may be sufficient, but if there is any trouble within the anal canal, a diagnosis can be made only with the aid of a speculum. The sense of touch alone is not enough. Altogether the Society of Drifters is a large one. For health’s sake keep out of it.

Prec ieee Pretty, Anyway e time ago an item in your column told of oranges being sprayed with artificial color. . .°(C. J.
