On Friday millions that hud read iibout the shot lieurd round the world, on the radio heard Ramsay MacUonald 's speech on peace, also heard around the world. In 50 years no finer address lias been heard in America. Karnest, simple, sincere, it car ried conviction to the minds of millions here and in countries ni-oss the oceans.

It is not too much to hope that national dueling will also be abandoned. The visit of liamsay MacDonald m cans much for future peace. The two most powerful countries in the world have made a decla ration more binding upon their honor than any diplomacy made honor questions could possibly be. i Nevertheless, while MaeDon A,'ild and Hoover talked in Wash ington, there were guards about the "White House, police in the streets.

It was the third successive vic tory for the forces of American league, who now have achieved the remarkable run of 12 games won out of the last 13 In world's series competition. The comeback of the Athletics today was as dramatic and unex pected as the thriller they put on Saturday when they scored 10 runs In the seventh, to overthrow the Cubs.
