They will consider them mere scrapg of paper and enter war without even a formal de- claration of ~hostilities. In so far as the last war was to end war, it was a failure, and the attitude of the world today is not 'in favor of world peace. He foresees the employment of disease germs against whole populations; warfare without mer- ¢y against women and children; airplanes oper- ated without aviators sowing pestilence, and chemicals to destroy a highly specialized and protected field fighting in machines impervious to gas and machine-gun bullets. This may be a typical army view of the next war. It be foolish to set a limit for inventive and the capaecity to produce the most destructive agencies of slaughter. It is npt a that great advances have been made in chemical nce, in machinery equipment which naturally lend themseive , utilization in But while these have been going forward, the world's di} have not begn less active in looking about 1 means of securing the peace of the world havé the military leaders in finding ways adapting scientific discoveries, to warls ends. Th have not arrived at a point where universal peace can to be guaranteed. But they have made progress and, despite some discourage- ments, are moving steadily if somewhat slowly to their goal. Arbitration treaties are the order of the day. Agreements looking toward outlaw- ing the aggressor in any disrupting of the world's peace being worked out between individual nations. Locarno pacts, the League of Nations, the World Court and other imstruments and agencies offer tangible evidence that the minds of the peoples of the world are turning more and more toward peace and less to war.

The value of all cars was $2,190.000,000, wholesale, and “truck value was $366,750,000. Sixty-six million tires were produced and the total value of tires for replacement was $595,000,000.

For Dr. Alexanderson’s televisor occupies no more space | than the present phonograph cabinet. Still but o laboratory achievement, television has already |adapted itself to the spatial limitations of the |home. . What remains to be done lies more in the domain of engineering than of revolutionary in- vention. Thus the problem of automatic syn- ¢hronization of - transmission and reception still remains to be solved. A mam’s fate must be optically dissected. In a single second tens of thousands of optical fragments must be converted into electrical impulses and flashed one by one in proper sequence over a single path in the ether. In the home they must be received at the same speed and assembled to form a recog- nizable scene. So quick is the process that the eye, unable to follow it, is tricked into accept- ing an everchanging mosaic as a one-piece image. To synchronize transmission and reception so that distortion is avoided requires nice regulation by hand. 1In the television apparatus ‘of the future the transmitter and receiver will be kept in step by some automatic device. Who can doubt that instead of a view half the area of a postcard ‘we shall behold faces like size? To achieve that triumph we need more brilliant illumination than is now possible. There remains, too, the problem of restricting tele- vision to a reasonably narrow channel in the ether. At present a wave-length band of such | width is required that there would hardly be room for many television broadeasting stations. Of ‘mave than these difficulties are quences of television. “Wat- you,” =uid Bell to his. assistant over uccessful laboratory telephone. Now threaded with wires and we talk across the ocean. The letter “s” was the first radio signal sent and received across the ocean. Whole countries are now enthralled by broadcast voices that proclaim the love of Romeo and Juliet. Surely we stand on the threshold of a new era. We spoke somewhat grandiloquently of “annihil- ating space” when the railway and telegraph were introduced. Space annihilation, indeed! With the infinite electrical extension of sight and hearing the earth seems to shrivel into a little ball that we can hold in the hollow of the hand.
