BRING PEACE? No one can tell what the history of the world might have been if the Senate of the United States had ratified the treaty of peace, drawn up at the end of World War I, whieh included the League of Na- tions, for which President Woodrow Wil- son fought so vigorously. The final vote in the Senate occurred on March 19, 1920, when fifty-seven Sen- ators voted infavor of the treaty and Ubinty-nine voted against it. A change of seven votes would have prevented the ment ofa decade of isolationist mt in the United States and brought “Silie League into being with the backing “Evie United States, the one country able ithe strength necessary to face = utufe with a ‘fighting rhance of mR cdns, ... The constitutional two-thirds majority to ratify treaties thwarted the will ofa majority of the Senators and, according to general opin- ion, the majority of the people of the na- tien. From that day until the outbreak of World War Il, the general tenor of American legislation, in connection with preparedness and a possible war in Eu- rop® was that the conflict would be none requirement of a of our business, In this conclusion, the nation and its ~ Jeaders were misled. No recital of his- **torievevents is necessary to support this coggiusion because everybody knows that thigecountry went into the second’ World War and that today it is leading the world in an international effort to set up ma- chinery which will prevent the outbreak of another conflict. Tt is too early to decide whether the Auuited Nations will succeed where the Trmpte of Nations failed. A stumbling bloek in the work of the U.N. isthe fre- quemt use of the veto by Russia. The Communists have taken advantage of this technical provision to block almost every effort to begin effective collaboration for peaee, Nevertheless, we doubt if the present impasse should be blamed upon the veto power given to the larger nations because this misuse of the veto is only evidence of a serious division of opinion which complicates the development of what the late Wendell Willkie called “One World.” The peace of the world depends upon ®greement of the powerful military na- tions. In view of the widespread differ- ences that exist between the Soviet and the Western nations, the peace is in danger but the peril does not arise from the right ef veto. This right could exist without threatening the success of the United Nations if the big powers were in sub- stantial agreement, or commonly resolved to cooperate for the peaceful development of mankind, The average man cannot understand S why it is almost impossible to frame ® treaties without running into the danger of = warfare between allies. The Linguaphone- Institute of Ameri: ca‘has listed 10 United States cities gvhich it considers as having “the best. American speech habits.” 4 In New York City, we heard vesidente poke fun at Key West and other parts of. the South for using the inclusive “you-all.” We remarked that we had heard some New York City high school graduates employ ‘the frtating “youse” when addressing a group and wished to make the remark in- clusive. It is easy to determine the reason for using each term, though the “youse” is bar- barious compared with “you-all.” Let us assume a person is conversing with four ot five friends. He feels that if he: uses ‘the pronuon “you” alone, his listeners , may think it is addressed to only one of them. So, as an assurance that all of them are in- cluded in the remark, he says “you-all,” the equivalent of ‘‘all of you.” We have heard the term “you-all” ‘dis- cussed pro and con, with a good many men, well versed in English, maintaining that the term is not improper when applied to more than one person. However that may | be, we can see no justification whatever, for New York’s “youse.”” “You,” because of its singular and plural forms, unlike the Quakers’ thou and ye, has resulted in another form, besides “you-all” and “‘youse” to distinguish the singular from the plural. Negroes in the Bahamas and some of their‘ descendants in Key West, use “yenner,” an extension of “ye,” when they wish to.make their remark inclusive, that is, if they address a person alone, they say “you,” but if they speak to two or more, they employ “yenner.” We have heard also some Negroes and white folks in Key West, who stem from the Ba- hamas, use “youmongy”’ when they ad- dress more than one. That term isa con- traction and a transposition of “among you.” The English language is steadily ex- panding. The day will come _when some word will be agreed on to distinguish the singular from the plural of “you.” Finally, good English is spoken in every city in the United States. Conversely, chopped-up English is spoken in all cities, including those listed by the institute. —— Grammar is in the process of change but some folks are trying to overdo the process. t é A —_———____—__ WHERE U.'S, TROOPS REMAIN Of the 677,000 troops allowed the Army under the budgetary limit set for the next fiscal year. there will be 258,000 men overseas, under present development plans. ‘ Lieutenant-General J. Lawton Col- lins, Vice-Chief of Staff, discloses that plans call for a total of 127,000 men in the Far East, 92,000 in Europe, 13,200 in Alaska, 5,000 in Trieste, 14,000 in the Caribbean area and 7,000 in Hawaii With a total of ten combat divisions, the Army has allocated four combat di- visions to the command of General Déug- las MacArthur in Japan and only one for General Lucius D. Clay, commander of the European Theater. The other five combat divisions will remain in the United States. It should be noted that some of: the divisions are not yet at full strength. In view of the responsibility of the United States, in connection with its du- ties in foreign countries,’ the disposition of our troops seems to be somewhat modest. Certainly, there is no overburd- ance in Europe and what we have in Ger- many constitutes no menace to Russia and represents only o minor obstacle to any ad- vance of the Red Army. Charity is good for the giver sometimes it isnot so beneficial to recipient: but the VETERANS PENSIONS It is estimated that there are 18,500,- 000 veterans of two World Wars. Representative John Rankin of Missis- sippi is the leader of a movement in Con- gress to provide a $90-a-month pension for all these veterans when’the¥ rédch 65. While it seems like a whopper, . of a notion it is pointed out that it is a less cost- ly pension plan than that suggested by the American Legion, There is no doubt but what the peo- | ple of the country will sustain any reason- able increase in-the pension system. But the general supposition in Washington is that Rankin is shooting the rockets too high, Hi fe position; aspiring a by a faith that will cess. If .born-in humb result.
