Dimond speaking ington in behalf of adequate aid in defense of Alaska made this statement: The world has not suddenly been reformed, and made pure and noble. There are as many national “wolves” on earth as there ever were —nations which are. bent on conquest and care not how they acquire wealti and ter- ritory and powery Pitting and sound as the Delegate’s remarks were a few short weeks ago, it is even more so today as a new and apparent! vigorous war threat flashes into the inte: re. Almost over night the Mediterranean has become the scene of virtual war. Not only have shells been fired but today Italy lays down an ultimatum to Russia that the lat- ter can no longer take supplies into Spain. TItalian warships, their guns bristling, have set up what is o065 absorbing loss below a certain margin, say 80 United States receive pensions? termed a blockade of the Spanish entrances from the east. How apropos were the further remarks of Mr, Dimond in that speech before the House, almost on the eve of the present outbreak, when he said: It may be said, Mr. Chairman, that defen- sive works are unnecessary and that disputes which may arise can be adjusted by harmoni- ous agreement with the nations of the earth. We all wish to heaven that they could, but common sense and the history of mankind teach us that it cannot be done. It was not sgplong - ago that: some ;pepple - blissfully thought wars were at and end, except possibly for little tiny wars among barbarous or back- ward nations. Do we not ail ==zail the golden sentiments which were voiced when the nine-power treaty was signed, a treaty which guaranteed the sovereignty, the independence, and the territorial and administrative integrity of China, and in which the nations which signed the treaty, including the United States, Bel- gium, the British Empire, China, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands and Portugal, bound themselves to provide the fullest and most un- embarrassed opportunity to China to develop and maintain for herself an effective and stable government, and these nations to re- frain from taking advantage of conditions in China in order to seek special rights and privileges which would abridge the rights of citizens of friendly states? Andewe all know, sadly, what happened to that treaty. The treaty was sighed in 1822, How many years was it before that treaty was just another scrap of paper and the United States of Am- erica was the only nation of all the signa- tories to the treaty which lifted its voice to defend the integrity of the treaty? Have we forgotten what happened to China in viola- tion of that treaty? After that experience are we so credulous—indeed, are we so gul- lible—as to believe that treaties are going to save us or to save the independence of any of the peoples of the world? If so, Mr. Chairman, our good genius has forsaken us. It is within the memory of every Member of this House that more hopeful and exalted opinions were entertained when the Kellogg Pact was signed on the 27th day of August, 1928—the treaty that, as we were told, was to end all wars. The nations which signed that treaty originally were the United States, Germany, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Afri- ca, the Irish Free State, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. The treaty, however, contained provisions by which other states might also agree to it, and ot states, including China, did agree to it and became bound by it and became entitled to all of its protection. The purpose of this treaty was to prevent war, and the “high contracting parties,” as they deseribed themselves in the treaty, solemnly declared in the names of their respe e peoples that they condemned recourse to r for the solution of inter- - national controversies, and they each and all renounced in their relations to one an- other, and these same “high contracting parties” agreed that the settlement or solution of all disputes or conflicts of whatever nature or whatever origin which might arise among them should never be sought except by pacific it means. Here, Mr. Chairman, we had a treaty of universal and rlastir peace, and we know what happened to that treaty. We know that it is today as dead a door nail, and we have good grounds to suspect that the govern- ment of no nation, except our own, regards it, or ever regarded it s anything more than a pious gesture. A witty Frenchman is once re- ported to have said to his son who contemplat- ed marriage, “My son, in every marriage one of the parties is always taken in; you should try to be the other party.” And so, with res- pect to these treaties, Mr. Chairman, one of the parties. one of the nations, is always taken in, and from our sad past experience it would seem that we have been uniformly that party and that nation. Already_ the hopeful predictions that the United States will keep out of this war, if war it finally be- comes, are made. We all trust that the forecasters These groups fear public housing because they | fear depression of values of their own slum properties |if the Government subsidizes the building of decent |modern homes to rent at low rates. You can’t hate anyone for worrying over a fin- |ancial loss, the world being what it is. But what are | we going to do for “the third of our nation” that is “ill-housed”? | | The choice is either to build modern houses to rent at low rates to set up a national minimum-wage scale so high as to enable workers to pay for decent dwellings built without Government aid. An America that boasts about its standard of living can’t duck on this issue forever. Which would the housing oppo- | sition prefer—a high minimum-wage law or low-cost | | housing? We housing wages, | rises. | An aspiring America will get better houses, some way, somehow. Part of the pressure for minimum- wage scales is due to the pressure for decent living | quarters. All American business may pay for the | opposition to the Wagner housing bill. | think business generally will prefer model ! A reduction in rents is an increase in real | without shock to industry and without price This is the time of all times to pass that bill, to create employment and increase real wages. Possibly he Government should cushion the shock to existing realty values by providing support for tenement mort- percent of, face value. That would break the jam and get us our houses. But the session is drawing short. Will Congress act or by indifference signal to American workers to iight for better homes in the only other way: Sharp increases in wages to pay for them? Mental Half-Way Stations (New York World-Telegram) When a person feels his mind slipping where can he go? For the average man or woman who might e called no more—than slightly hypochondriac, who isn't crazy enough to pass the entrance examinations into an asylum, who hasn't money for the luxury of private psychiatric care, the answer is clear. There's virtually no place at all to go. This melancholy vein was suggested by stories about the young mother who tried recently to murder | her children and who succeeded with one of them. Reports of her crime don't indicate that it was due {m any particular collapse of moral fiber or character. | And she was not financially destitute. She was be- | wildered and bedeviled, and for some reason her bur- |den was more than she could bear. Yet it would have |been hard indeed to get her committed in advance |to any institution for the insane. The time is coming, if ® is not already overdue, |we believe, when the public, acting either through |tax funds or private philanthropy will demand the |establishment of some refuge for beset persons. At | present many find that death seems to be their only way out of the tangles in which they are in- volved. Their strength falters, they lose perspective on their troubles, and so they kill someone else or they commit suicide. £ven if their gropings assume |less violent and irreparable form, they suffer a need- | less despair. | ‘Why not, therefore, establish relief stations half- | way along the road of mental depression? If a per-- | son is only slightly sick physically he may obtain small |doses of medicine. If a youth merely turns his foot |toward a criminal career probation officers attempt to haul him back to safety. But if a person feels 1lnmsel( mentally and physically inadequate his only answer in many cases is merely an increasing hope- lessness. If a beacon of help and cheer could be set up for these numerous sufferers it would be a milepost of advancing civilization, Tt is worth attention from | public-spirited citizens. Royalty on Fifth Avenue (New York Times) ‘The other morning a young man carried a minia- ture figure of King George VI through the traffic of Fifth Avenue. The King was in full coronation re- ,galia. The synthetic jewels in his crown and the | gilded scepter glittered like the real thing. The robe (of purple velvet and ermine billowed elegantly in | the breeze as the young man held the image aloft like a banner. He was probably a window trimmer, but he | might have been a courtier, so conscious and debonair | was his gesture as he presented royalty to the crowd. | | But the crowd paid no attention. A traffic police- | man grinned as he waved the King-bearer across the street. “Well, look who's here!” he said. A girl at the corner nudged a companion absorbed in a window:| full of hats of “Wallis blue,” “See the King?" she | murmured. “Oh, I've seen him,” was the impatient ! answer. “I've seen the King and Queen and the | Princesses and Queen Mary and the Dukes and the | Archbishops and the coronation.
