j With congress back on the job we can anticipate in the
Hear future a long debate on tho World Court question.
; Senators in opposition will quote with much feelipg Wash-
' ington's famous remark about foreign entanglements, and
those in favor of the court will propound new theories of
international relationship. Some observers believe that a
month's time will be consumed talking about the member
ship of this country and that we will join at the end of
, that time by a vote substantially the same as the .present
poll would indicate. When all the talking is ended and the
opinion of only a few has been altered, Charlie Dawes should
have new ammunition to use in his fight against the sen
ale's time-wasting practices.

WORLD TUNES

;. KACIAL DELUSIONS.. '
Pr?judict'H, which they come naturally by, cause nations,
liices and peoples to think themselves and their institutions
nupcrior to all others. Except where there is rebellion, each
country is convinced its form of government is the best.
Man has yet td find n race or people, .which lays no. claim
to superiority over all other races or admits its own inferi
. ority. Illustration of this point is translation into English'
f nn editorial printed in a pro-Fascist newspaper in Rome.
"Italian victories in every field where risk is joined with
endurance, skill and physical perfection have become so
common that they may no longer swell with pride the bos
oms of our fellow countrymen," reads this patriotic pro
nouncement from Italy. "Each of these new demonstra-l
tions of our racial superiority naturally raises the question
whether, a people capable of winning such triumphs does .not
likewise possess, when compared with other nations, a su
perior capacity for governing itself by original and pro
gressive methods. The repetition of such triumphs is tanta
mount to n reaffirmation of jxilitical superiority, which will
lie recognized eventually both at home and abroad, and
which should insplro the Italian people wilfi new hope and
faith." , ;
Thus do the Italians apply to themselves the identical
phrases in self-approbation that the people of every coun
try now, will and ever shall employ in their patriotic com
parisons. This editorial from Rome is peculiarly significant
just at this time when so much is heard hero of Nordic
siieriority and of the crimes of the Mussolini dictatorship.

Ah something entirely out of the
ordinary' in a legislative way. Hep
rcseiitative Sol Hlooin's bill to 1
amend the immigration law, so i
as to let foreign "hir'd erirls" Into,
the country 011 a non-quota basin, j
is tho subject of a good deal of
discussion in congress.
... j
J'cople not so very old omits-:
member when nearly every even
moderately prosperous American
family had its hired girl.
J-ler pay averaged around $3 a
week. '
.
As we nil know, this epoch Is
past.
Sol Hlooni says so and It's trim.
A domestic servant costs so muehl
that a family has to verge on hy
ing actually rich to keep one. in I
the vuat majority of American !
households the missis does bur
own work.
Housework is hard work, as Sol
again truthfully says. . Ilo doesn't
blame the American woman for
disliking it, as evidently she does.
he takes notice, for she shows at. j
alarmingly increasing tendency to
ward getting something else to do.
or. If that's unnecessary toward ,
hotel or restaurant life. j
Thus. 'in Sol's opinion, the Amer
ican homo is In danger a danger
which more hired girls would
avert, so Sol thinks.
Of course the immigrants would
have, to be genuine hired girls.
Sol provides for that. He renilr-

1 xperienre in domestic service ai:l

Ulght at tills point the bill's
critics mine an objection.
The girls virtually would be bond
servants for those three years,
they argue. 1 're vent a girl, " for
three years, from rising in llf".

IMPRISONED.
A sensational court trial, n life sentence nntl then oliliv
ion. Mow ninny go that way! Today as they stand trial
for their great crime they are in the eyes and on the tongue
of tho world. A year from now the end of the first year
of life imprisonment they are forgotten by the outside
world. What a terrible penalty to pay for the praUricalion i
of n foolish passion. Oscar Wilde called them the "living
dead." I
Hut how much worse is the lot of the "lifer" from that'
of millions who live not behind pray stone walls and iron j
bars? I'oth work, cat and sleep but do nothing: more. Vir-j
tual oblivion surrounds both, lloth arc numbered. The j
only difference is that the first is involuntarily confined
within four crowding walls and the second voluntarily con
fines himself within a compass of life little larger than a '
prison cell. i
1
This self-imposed imprisonment is not peculiar to the
gleat city anil neither is it confined to the rural areas.
Millions in the city tire held captive' mentally and physically
by their work and home. They know few of their I'ellow
men and women and have fewer intimate friends. The
world is ns unconscious of their existence as of those crea
tures in the cells of real stone imd bars. Others in tho
country live within the narrow confines of the farm or
small isolated community. Neither by travel nor by read-!
ing do they attempt to bring themselves into contact with !
the outside world. They also are captives within them-!
selves. Vet many "lifers" ure content with their lot, just
ns are those voluntary prisoners of the city flat and tho
country ventnda.
