OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH13, 1928." WHERE WAR Schemes to muko war legally impossible have flowered since 1018 like dandelions on a suburbanite's lawn. Jf laid end to end (which is exactly them to date) they would reach from here to Armageddon, 6i: beyond. The latest is a suggestion from His Excellency Frits Holm of Denmark. His scheme provides that, in ease of rar, the president or premier, together with all his imme diate male relatives, the entiro cabinet, all members of con gress who voted for war and all bishops and prelates of the nation's churches, be at once conscripted as privates, to serve for the duration of the war in the infantry shock troops. . Holm believes all possibility of war will be forever averted by every nation that .adopts this plan. Maybe he's right. Certainly his proposal is drastic enough. It might well prove an effectual curb on the fire eating proclivities of .sonic dime-a-dozon statesmen. Yet it shares the defects of all other anti-war schemes in that it attacks the whole problem wrong end to. Despite all our talk about the machinations of "international- bankers," "secret diplomacy," and the like, the roots of war lie far down in the heart of the average men. Trying to root war out by legislation from above is like try ing to lift yourself by your bootstraps. It will furnish a lot of exercise but nothing more. For tha simple and regrettable fact is, man has not yet Igrown -into a thoroughly peaceful animal. We are still a few thousand miles removed from the spiritual .heights of the Sermon on the Mount. A flag, fluttering ;in the sunlight Scan, still sway our emotions so powerfully that reason and cool judgnj3iit are forgotten. A few taps on a drum, a few sharp notes on a bugle, are still more potent than all the, cau tioning lectures in the world. . We are fond of talking aboufo how such and such a na tion was "led into war. Such talk is ordinarily so much agar-agar.. The common people of the world you and I end the English and the Germans and the French and all the real still think in terms of war. We accept war as a .'natural and proper means of settling a dispute. So long as we do we cannot complain if we get. into one every so often. War must bo abolished some day. But its abolition is not so much a matter for new laws and treaties to .ofect influential as such things may occasionally ba. The corn won man must decide, in his own heart, that he wants no more war over again. He must profoundly change his en tire spiritual and menial attitude. When that happens, the danger of war will be gone for ever. Until it does war will continue to lie just below the liprizon, smouldering and menacing. o Williird 1). riUsbury, banker, announces that four-fifths -of all wage earners are in debt. Only about a quarter of the .country's population, he says, are free from financial wor ries. This sounds rather appalling. But there are debts nnd debts. The mtm who owes for a home, an automobile, a piano or furniture irmy bo in the soundest kind of finan cinl condition. Extravagance is one thing, and going hit--debts that can ba met promptly and without strain is an- other. There are times when do is go into debt. It is only wisely, or wIumi misfortune brings flock of bills greater Hhin income can meet, that there is trouble. o . ft In Chicago a errand jury indicted a garage man for -fraud in moiking his income tax return.
