Yet it's all-important. For when one country gets away with being an aggressor, the gates are down. This newspaperman, looking back over the years covering many peace conferences, many attempts to stop wars, recalls three scenes which U. S. Senators and U. S. diplomats might keep In mind as they vote on this current amend- | ment. THE CHACG W Scene 1—The Pan American Un- jon. Time-—-1928. Calvin Coolidge was in the White House; Frank B. Kellogg was Secretary of State; the world was relatively peaceful. Sud- denly in the jungles of South America, war broke out between Bolivia and Paraguay. The Republican party is tradition- ally Isolationist. But many of its leaders have struggled more persis- tently than Democrats to ensure peace. Two of these were Charles Evans Hughes and Secretary Kel- logg. Hughes was a private citizen in 1928, but Kellogg summoned him to Washingtcn and hoth threw all their weight into preventing war in South America. At first they succeeded. For two years, constant, tireless conciliation efforts kept the two nations apart. However, as In most wars, an economic factor was invelved. Thei Dillon, Read banking firm of Sec- retary of Defense Forrestal had | loaned Bolivia $20,000,000 whigh was used to buy arms. With such an arsenal to play with, no one could have kept the Bolivians from mak- ing war.

By now, also, failure to bring peace in Manchuria had weakened the League of Natlons, However, when Mussolini crashed nis Fascist leagions, without warn- ing, into deienseless Ethiopia, the Leazue made its greatest etfort. It applied economic sanctions. It cut off all trade with Italy—except the cne product which would have paralyzed Italy—oil. Without oil the Italian Navy could not sail, italian airplanes couldn’t fly, Ital- an tanks could not move. Never- heless, tongue in cheek, the diplo- mats decided to let Mussolini, the wanton ageressor, have oil. After that it was only a matter | of time before full-scale European war was inevitable. Not only Mu solini, but Adolf Hitler knew how asy it was to buffalo the de :racies and their alleged peace ma- chinery.

NO RIFT, CONGRESS, TRUMAN President Denounces "Trouble Makers' - Atf- facks Real Estate Lobby WASHINGTON, March 22—®— President Truman, has denounced “trouble make who talk of a rift between him and the Congress. He said he and Congress are “working together” for the good of the coun- try. In an address to the United States conference of mayors, the President also made a blistering new attack on the “real estate lobby.” He said it is opposing his housing and rent control program, and is “the real enemy of the American home.” This “lobby” won't succeed, he declared, and predicted passage of his housing program, complete with putlic housing and slum clearance. “It seems that whenever I make a recommendation to Congress many newspapers and columnists set up a howl about the President is try- ling to dictate to Congress,” Mr. Truman told the six hundred mayors of major cities. “And then if the Congress makes any decision that varies at all {rom my recommendations, these same trouble-makers start a (,lu'ml chor- us about how thrown the whole Democratic pro- gram overboard. “Of course, I differ with the ae- tions of the Congress on points, and where these differences are important I shall continue te urge the course I think is right. “But basically the Congress and the President are working together Tand will continue to work together for the good of the country. “We are going to agree on a lot| i1more things than we disagree on. And when the final score for this Congress is added up, some of the selfish pressure groups are going to | be pretty badly disappointed. — e COALITIONISTS ARE WINNERS IN FRENCH ELECTION (By The Associated Press) Parties making up France's coal- ition cabinet are leading in returns from yesterday’s county elections, ibut it took their joint efforts to overcome the vote of Gen. de Gaulle's followers, who polled the biegest single party vote.
