Scraps of paper, international pacts signed with ell solemnity of diplomatic ritualism, hailed as bulwarks of peace and as harbingers of brighter days, have been scattered across militaristic Europe for so far back “that the mind of man runneth not to the contrary.” Today French and Belgian fears, made almost frantic by the tramp of Hitler's new army across the bridges of the Rhine, are matched by German pride as Der Feuhrer proclaims Locarno and Versailles en- gagements terminated and tells his people that the restoration of German equality is an established fact. Weapons clank on both sides of the border, diplo- mats hurry from conferences to send reports to home offices, governmental leadérs counsel calmness and editors plead for cool heads. So Europe poised throughout the first decade of the century. - Clashing colonial interests in Atrica brought several acute crises but the combination of the “triple entente”—France, czarist Russia and Great Britain—against the “triple alliance” of Germany, Austro-Hungary and Italy, kept the balances tilted on the peace side. Then the scene swung to the Balkans. Turkey's grip on her European lands was loosening and Russia, “big brother” of the south slavs, was still feeling the effects of her 1904-5 defeat by Japan, when, in Octo- ber, 1908, Austro-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herce- govina. Neighboring Serbia protested and called on St. Petersburg for help. Berlin warned that Russia must not interfere. The czar's forces were not ready for another war, so Serbia was compelled to acquiesce. But not the people of the annexed provinges. “Revo- lutionaries” flourished there, particularly in Bosnia, through the Balkan wars of 1912-13. France persuaded Russia to stay out of those embroilments and Germany and Italy kept Austro-Hungary from intervening. Meanwhile Germany was increasing her army and building a navy; France, as she has today, had length- ened the service terms of her military conscripts; England was working out military cooperation with her dominions and Russia had embarked on a five- year plan for rebuilding her war machine. Austro- Hungary's general staff had drawn up full plan for a campaign in the Balkans. Into this powder keg fell the Bosnian match, the murders on June 28, 1914, at Serajevo of the heir to the Austrian throne and his wife. Austro-Hungary pounced on Serbia; Russia rose ponderously to defend *“the little brother” and Ger- many’s ultimatum, effective when the Bosnian dis- pute arose in 1908, was disregarded. France, bound to her alliance with czarist Russia as today she is bound by treaty to the Soviet Union, called her men to the colors; Germany turned in both directions, knew the Alsace-Lorraine frontier was too strong to overcome by frontal attack, and debouched through Belgium. She had helped guarantee the neutrality of that little kingdom but when reminded of this obligation by Britain responded: X “Pouf! A scrap of paper!” More than 8500000 dead, more than 21,000,000 wounded, and 7,750,000 “prisoners and missing”; starv- Main | | program of sanctions against Italy. In this fashion; | ation, bankruptey and revolution was the result. The | treaty makers of Versailles in 1919, of Locarno in 11923, the negotiators of the Dawes and Young plans, | the organizers of the League of Nations, all have tried | to erect barriers that would hold back any such flood of death and destruction in the future. But Versailles' pact is in shreds, Locarno’s signa- ture line is torn off, reparations belong in the misty past and the League did not prevent China’s loss of Manchuria or Italy’s “colonial expedition” into Ethi- | opia. Germany decries war-like intention. Hitler of- fers a fresh series of treaties and General Werner | von Blomberg, war minister, tells a nation-wide radio | hook-up: “War destroys the flower of humanity and brings gain neither to the victor nor the vanquished.” Crime and Evidence. (New York Times.) There will be a stout legal battle over the right of a Senate committee to take possession of and use for its own purposes certain promiscuous West- ern Union telegrams. The intent was plain enough. Senator Black and his sub-committee suspected that oficials of utility companies had sent com- promising dispatches when the Holding Company Bill was pending. So they subpoenaed the whole lot, hoping to find in it what they wanted. Lawyers at once protested that this was the method of “search and seizure” forbidden by the Consmunon,{ and Obtained from a judge of the District of Co- | lumbia a temporary injunction forbidding Senator | Black to make public private telegrams which he had '“seized” in violation of law. The assertion made in court was that the whole thing was merely a “fishing excursion.” That is to say, it did not specify the individual telegrams wanted, nor did it name the persons whom it sought to incriminate or at least humiliate, thus ignoring or evading a plain prohibition of the Bill of Rights. The case has been set for final argument soon. It is of more importance than it would appear at first sight to the ordinary citizen. He might ask.l “Well, what is there so wrong in all this search| and seizure against which the outcry is raised?”| Our English forebears knew what was wrong about it. They had seen too many domiciliary without specific warrant, permitted agents of police or of the Government to hunt for evidence of crime. in a suspected man's own house. That method, in effect, made a man take part in his own prosecution and conviction. No wonder that it was done away with as an instrument of tyranny. The inquisitorial powers of a committee of Con- gress are great, but they do not extend to dis- regard of the rights of private citizens as defined in the Constitution. Senator Black protests that his procedure was not open to the charge of being search and seizure, since the material he got hold of was obtained under subpoena. But if this was too general and sweeping in terms, and showed clearly that the object was to smear or smirch certain individuals by making use of thier own confidenial communications, it seems to lie open to all Um} objections urged against the other plan. The court“ will decide. Horse-Trading. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) | So far as Italy is concerned, the German arm-| ament of the Rhineland is merely a bargaining point. By threatening to go along with Hitler in denouncing the Locarno pact, Mussolini puts himself into a strong bargaining position. He is willing now to abandon his pro-German policy and adhere to| the Locarno treaties, if he is paid off by the with- drawal of the League's economic sanctions against Italy. Actually, Mussolini is not offering very much. | There is evident in Paris and London no inlcntionl to resist by force the German move. This being| true, Italian aid is not very important. A unified | front of Italy, France, and England would not be enough to compel Hitler to withdraw his troops from the frontier provinces, unless the three were | ready to fight. The French, however, are somewhat frightened by the last Nazi move, and can be expected to do| everything possible to insure Italian support. This means renewed French efforts to soften the League's |the Paris Government may succeed in destroying ‘the effectiveness of the League of Nations, as ‘ugamst Italy, quite forgetting that their chief hope |in Europe is a strong League to unite the nations | surrounding Nazi Germany. If they fall for Mussolini’s horse-trading tactics, in other words, instead of compromising on Hitler's |new proposals for a guaranteed peace, the French | may some day find that they have destroyed the | collective system in the African case and cannot |revive it for use on the continent of Europe. Far- sightedness is not a salient feature of post-war French policy, however. If it were, France would have made substantial concessions to Republican | | Germany before 1932, and would have prevented the | entire phenomenon of Adolf Hitler.

The stars especially favor those who exercise authority. Gov- ernors and mayors should benefit. The position of Jupiter presages more friendly agreements and al- liances between Great Britain and the United States. The conjunction of Mercury and Saturn portends ser- ious problems for both governments. Ancther startling expedition by Japan is prognosticated for an early , date. The conjunction of Mars and . Uranus next month is read as boding military movements. It has been prophesied that a po- litical assassiantion in the United States would mark the next few months. Conditions of the stars causing {unrest and riots in Brazil may also Idisturb certain parts of California, a London astrologer foretells.
