JOURNALIST SEES WAR IN” EUROPE Overthrow of “Madmen” Only Escape, Bouton Tells Town Hall. War in Europe is inevitable un- less the “mad men—the paranoics and fanatics” in power in Germany and other countries are overthrown, S. Miles Bouton, journalist and for- mer war correspondent, declared last night before ‘a Town Hall audience in the Shoreham Hotel. He singled out as the most dan- gerous point in the present situation | —Germany, the counfry he was forced to leave recently when his methods of reporting became irksome to the Nazi government. “Chancellor Adolph Hitler mnkes the Kaiser look like a pacifist,” Bou- | ton said. “Germany has been rearming since 1920. The National Socialists are | forcing on the German people the | 1dea that Germans must impose their | character, ideals and beliefs upon the rest of the world. German children are being taught in the church and | in the schools that war is a positive | gooc, that it creates as it deslruys,‘ The young men of Germany are being told that blood only can wash out dishonor,” he said. | Bouton said the chancellor of the | Third Reich is a “mystic who appeals | %o the mystically inclined Germans.” | “Hitler does not want war. He| simply wants to march into the Polish Corridor or Bohemia and say, ‘Here | we are and here we stay, so don't get unpleasant.’ “Against Civilization.” “I make no phophecies as to the line-up, but the next war will be Germany against twentieth century culture, civilization and democracy,” he said. Bouton viciously attacked the treaty of Versailles as “a document of hatred and vengeance” which cut Europe into a jigsaw puzzle in the “most sweeping and momentous happenings | since the Reformation and the Thirty Years’ War.” “The men who drew up the peace treaties of the World War were sow- ing ‘dragon’s teeth,’” he said. “Those men did a bad job and unless a solution is found, Europe will be | thrown back into the Middle Ages” | He declared there would have been | no Hitler except for the Versailles treaty. “If German-Austria had come to Germany,” he said. “this Austrian eorporal might not have risen so far. “There were so many stupidities in these treaties,” he continued, “Ger- many was done a great injury by them, particularly in taking away the Saar Territory. The Saar never was anything but German and it was a stupid provocation for Germany in placing the basin under the gov- | emment of the League of Nations, In fact, a plebiscite held in all these territories taken from Germany would undoubtedly have favored the father- land.” Bouton declared there is not a World War treaty which has not been broken and there never will be any treaties that will not be broken. | Questioned on League, He declared also that “we have shirked our manifest duty in not Jjoining the League of Nations.” He was quizzed later on this statement by Lothrop Stoddard. writer on in- ternational affairs, and a member of the panel. “In view of the critical situation which you have described as existing in Europe now, it seems strange that you should advocate that the United States join the League,” Stoddard said. “Many observers say the league does | not amount to anything. How could it when the richest and most powerful of all the nations is outside,” Bouton replied. William T. Stone, vice president of the Foreign Policy Association, asked Bouton if he didn't think that at the end of another war more “stupid, un- fair” treaties would be drawn up. In answering Bouton quoted a German philosopher as saying: “We learn from history that no one ever learns from history.” Bouton said he could not help but view the situation pessimistically and declared “we can thank God for the Atlantic Ocean.” 1 The panel at the meeting also in- cluded Karl Paul Polanyi, former edi- | tor of the Austrian Economist and a leader of the Hungarian student move- ment; Karl von Lewinski, former Ger- man consul general to the United | States, and Franklin Roudybush, di- rector of the Roudybush School of Foreign Service. Chairman John W. Studebaker presided. LEAVES JAIL FOR JURY Makes Arrangements to Pay Fine | With His Fees. | UNIONTOWN, Pa.

By the Associated Press. Accusing the Federal Power Com- mission of using “erroneous assump- tions” leading to wrong conclusions that a power shortage is imminent, a ' private utility spokesman said yester- day excess electricity generating capacity exceeded normal reserve re- quirements by 20 per cent. | Bernard F. Weadock, vice president | of the Edison Electric Institute, New ] | York, said in a statement the commis- | sion’s theoretical peak demand for power, 23,000,000 kilowatts, was about 7,000,000 kilowatts too high. Quarrel Over Regulation. .Meantime a quarrel in another power field, regulation of utilities, ran on with an assertion by Chairman | Rayburn of the House Interstate | Commerce Committee that the pend- ing utility bill did not propose to take regulatory power away from State commissions, | Rayburn was referring to testimony | before the committee by H. Lester Hooker, chairman of the Legislative | Committee of the National Associa= | tion of Railroad and Utilities Commis- sioners, who charged the bill “emascu- | lated and devastated” State commis- | sion powers. | “The bill,” Rayburn said, “does not contemplate the fixing of rates in any | State on power or gas.” | Older Plants’ Capacity. | Weadock said commission engineers arbitrarily disregarded a large amount | of capacity in older plants in their re- | porl, “evidently on the basis these are | no longer needed.” These plants are well able to produce in emergency, he said, adding: “There is actually 5942,000 kilowatts of installed capacity in the United States more than the report shows, and this amount is three times the and —Wide Wor]d Phulo. Duck, Mother of F our Broods, Graduallv Turning I nto Drahe A female duck which has brought | four broods of ducklings into the world today had its owner ga-ga through its gradual but determined change into a drake. “Pesky"” was a sloe-eyed mallard lady when Charles R. Campbell, 12 Gasch avenue, Bladensburg, Md., got her six years ago with five other ducks from Baltimore. Campbell kept the quacks in his back yard. They expanded and multi- plied; “Pesky” herself mothered 18 young mallards. Two years ago the queen of the duck-run began to brood alone in corners of the yard. Her fellows avoided her. Her appearance as well as her conduct differed from what it once had been. “Pesky” started life as a modest | dun-color as befits female mallards. Today she is a rainbow strutter, with all the marks of a male. Her/his head and neck are glossy green, with a white ring about the throat; the breast is a purplish chestnut; the hind quar- ters are a glossy black; the tail feath- ers have become whitish with a curly tuft; the wings are irridescent and | bordered with black and white. { Campbell’s two life-time drakes are outrag>d. They attack “Pesky” so viciously that the duck-owner has to keep her/him in a separate pen.

Along with that job we have answered many questions about our business. Some of these questions have a way of becoming political issues. ‘Who gets the money, and how much? ‘What makes the price of milk? Is the farmer exploited? Is the consumer gouged? Is distributor profit excessive? ‘What is the public interest? These and other questions will be regularly discussed in this space.
