How the League’s Big Stick Stopped a Balkan War HE OLD WAR-TORN WORLD has swung into a new epoch I at last, and a new chapter in human history has begun, say ex- perienced editorial observers as they see two Balkan belligerents actually stop a war at the command of the League of Nations. It is taken, too, as a heartening sequel to the peace-pledge of Locarno when a word of command from the League can quench a flaming fuse of conflict in that ever-menacing powder-magazine of tangled racial hates and fierce national rivalries. The New York World declares that “today, for the first time with- in the memory of man, the great Western Powers have stood united on a Balkan question, and for the first time when they commanded peace the Balkans obeyed.” The importance of the ultimatum which the League of Nations issued to Greece and Bulgaria can scarcely be exaggerated, says the New York Times, which welcomes it as evidence that “we are living in a new epoch” in which hereafter “the advance of strong and en- lightened nations may be achieved without the maiming and slaugh- ter of the nations’ best and bravest.” And, continues the Times: “To- day those of little faith are asking what the authority of the League would have come to if, instead of disarmed Bulgaria and exhausted Greece, the belligerents had been Powers of the first order. The an- swer is the treaties offLocarno.” On the other hand, there is a note of skepticism sounded in some quarters of America. For instance, in The Washington Post we read: “The spectacle of the League of Nations shutting its eyes and ears to the Moroccan and Syrian wars, while forbidding Greece and Bul- garia to fight, is a striking illumination of the fact that the League is merely a machine for manipulation of European affairs by the Great Powers.” The Literary Digest this week, the November 7th number, is lib- erally devoted to a comprehensive review of the uprising in the Balkans. It shows what caused it, where the fighting took place, and how and why hostilities ceased so abruptly. By means of transla- tion from the newspapers of the affected countries in the Balkans, one is able to obtain a “close-up” of how the peoples of these nations view a security pact against war. These articles are copiously illus- trated with cartoons and a map. Prophets and Proofs of Prosperity in America HE BELIEF IN PROSPERITY which sustains the present boom in Wall Street seems to be shared by practically every authority in the business and financial world. Sir Robert Horne, a frequent visitor here, leaves our shores declaring that he has never before seen “the real prosperity there is today in every form of finance, industry, and trade,” a prosperity not confined to the wealthy, but extending to every- one, and with nothing in sight that can stop it. Henry Ford predicts “a century of prosperity.” Elbert H. Gary tells us “we are on the verge of a great era of prosperity,” and other steel leaders agree with him. Bank presidents—including President Mitchell, of the National City Bank, New York—and Cham- bers of Commerce throughout the country, are equally optimistic. But all these prosperity prophecies need tempering with sobriety, insists the Newark News, which remarks: “Just what this ballyhoo over long-continued prosperity is all about may be as uncertain as the meaning of Florida’s real estate boom.” As an offset, it reminds us of statements that we have too many coal mines and too many miners, too many textile mills and textile workers, and, with all this, agitation from big employers to let in more workers. So, “all these things in- troduce a note of sobriety to tone down the exaltations of the Fords and Mitchells.” Don’t Miss Reading These Articles Also in This Big November 7th Issue of THE LITERARY DIGEST On Sale Today---All Newsstands---10 Cents A Lively Fight Over Death Taxes The Downfall of Calllaux Postage-Stamps as a National Commodity Visions of the United States of Europe New England Culture Meets the Buzz-Saw Machines With Nimble Fingers Read Abont Them Here Many Interesting Illustrations, Including Humorous Cartoons and Original Maps SR The Literary Digest INTERNATIONAL BOOK REVIEW November Number Now Ready | ° ® How to 3 \nmnx this month's celebrated con- | fhlied ik vz':rv!:::dry. tributors are i ¥ How to Acquire Self- Colileuu :nh.d.d' LMA‘I;l.b]ew sd'i.
