" n 1 -oni;, v id or i i.j.-e, ht io An Epoch Making Pact AN example of preventing war, not by preaching the beautbs of universal peace, but by using common sense, can be found in the recent agreement between Italy and France. In fact this Laval-Mussolini pact, signed in Rome, promises to be the most important diplomatic achievement in Europe, since Locarno. Instead of talking about the virtues of peace and the horrors of war the Italian dictator and the foreign minister of France, talked sense, and got to work on the important business of eliminating the causes of war. The agreement provides for three things. First, maintaining the integrity and independence of Austria; second putting an end to international intrigue and political agitation in the Little Entente (outlawing the practice of one little nation meddling with the internal affairs of another); and third, allowing Italy a free hand for expansion and colonisation in northern Africa. "piIE last item is by far the most important. For as long as France and Italy were at lovgerheads in the Mediterranean all talk about peace in Central Europe was futile. Italy is overcrowded, and short of raw materials, particularly iron and coal. In northern Africa she could find room, markets, and increased trade. ' As long as France disputed her expansion in this direction, as a threat to her own African possessions. Italy was bound to oppose France diplomatically on the conti nent. And as long as Italy opposed lini was forced to play the game with German; and what is eft of Austria-Hungary. Therefore the war-like spirit stantly stimulated, for with Italy as an ally, Hitler might risk a war of revenge; without the hope of Italian assistance, any such military adventure would .... BY the terms of this new agreement of course, Germany again in ifinlnttwl. Itjilv trots wlmt Khr wnnts in northern Africa- Franco gets what she wants in However if the plebiscite in and the recent Franco-German mines, is amicably fulfilled we time since the Treaty of Versailles, the countries of Europe, can't get down to business, forget their ancient grudges, bury their racial hatreds- and enjoy a warless interlude, for at least another decade. This may be a somewhat optimistic prediction. But at least this Franco-Italian pact, gives the best promise of a lasting peace in Europe, since Slresscmann and Briand shook hands and smoked the pipe of peace in Locarno. Why Not Japan? IT seems to us, that in this Franco-Italian pact, there is a very important lesson for the United States, as far as the Japanese problem is concerned. This country is being fairly flooded ut the present time with books pointing out the menace of Japan to peace in the Far East. War there sccins to be regarded as inevitable. And most stu dents of the problem appear agreed, that in case of war the United States would inevitably be drawn in. .... WHAT does Japan want! Well Japan wants what Italy has wanted, more room, more raw materials, more markets of her own. Japan is more overcrowded than Italy far more in a territory about the size of Texas she has to find room for between 65 and 70 million people. She has some raw materials but she needs more. Most of her needs can be found in those districts of China, where she now maintains a semi-military control. Why not ALLOW Japan to expand '.n this direction just as France has allowed Italy to expand in northern Africa! .... THHEKE is ample precedent for this. The I'nitcd States once "expanded" at the expense of Mexico. Alaska once be longed to Russia. This country purchased this vich territory outright from the Czar. Why couldn't there be some international agreement, whore by Japan could purchase territory in China, and have it as her own? The cost would be but an infinitesimal part of what a war of conquest would cost her. And this is totally disregarding what such a war might cost the rest of the world. .... DREACHING the beauties of pencil to Japan will do no good. Depicting the wickedness of war will profit nothing. If Japan can't get the room she needs to survive as a strong and growing nation, by PEACEFUL means; she will get it by WAR. And who will point at her the finger of scorn and sny that any other world pewer, faced by a similar national situation, would bow meekly to its fate, and be demoted unresistingly to a third rate power! In other words, why can't reason and common sense prevail! Japan's demands for more territory, we regard- m perfectly legitimate ones. It is foolish ami cheap chauvinism to maintain that because Japan wishes to expand she also wishes to compicr the United States and dominate the western world. Japan wants her place in the East, and her possessions not thousands of miles away, but near home. Isn't it possible to allow her. without another great war, 10 II AVE them!

I could extend the list to a fright ful length were It fair to Include mention of the many vague disturb ances of the health which we know are often due wholly; to hypovita mlnoua diet that Is, lood which sup plies Insufficient vitamins for the requirements of eutrophy, perfect nutrition, top condition, buoyant health. I prefer not to suggest such symptoms. The entities I have mentioned will Illustrate the importance of nutri tion. And right here let me remind you. Mr. and Mrs. Wiseacre, that nei ther the best cooks nor the bright est young saleswomen nor the most expert dietitians nor the most fa mous "food specialists" are compe tent to advise what any invalid or near-Invalid should or should not eat. Indeed, many cases of the va rious conditions enumerated hnve been brought about or aggravated by the popular practice of following the advice of unqualified persons In the matter of diet, particularly in children. The wiseacre mother of a 10-year- old child who had pronated fpet (weak ankles, the potential or first staee of flat feet) took the child first to a "foot specialist" clerk and permitted this charlatan to fit some kind of trick shoe. The trouble grew worse. Then the moronic parent had the child's spine adjusted by a fad healer whose promises were rosy, but whose performance proved disap pointing. Next she afflicted the un fortunate youngster with arch props on a line of reasoning similar to that which formerly caused mis guided mothers to encase y o u r. g daughters In freak corsets which the wise saleswoman Bald were quite necessary to "mould" the figure. At last, only by accident, the child came under the notice of a physician. Just i V YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre. NEW YORK, Jan. 7.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS HI crouch Husband had hiccoughs Incessant ly for five days. The doctor was un able to help him. I put two tea spoonfuls of flaxseeds (sometimes called linseed) in a Jar and filled It with hot water. When It cooled enough he drank It, and did not have a nother h lecough . ( Mrs. J J. H.) Answer Anyway It Is harmless enough. Inhalations of carbon dloxld are the best emergency remedy for hiccoughs I know. Let the sufferer hold a paper bag snugly over nose and mouth and breathe into It and rebreathe the air from it for a min ute or two. Fish and Milk Impression that fish and milk or even canned salmon and milk at same' meal poison. How, the-., can cooks prepared creamed fish or how can they fry fish In cream? (Mrs. J. J. A.) Answer There is no ground for the quaint notion that fish and milk at the same meal will prove poisonous or In any way injurious. If one likes such a combination It is perfectly wholesome. The Charcoal Bimbo What is licking In the diet of a l!i-year old boy that makes him try to eat such things as charcoal and soft stone? (Mrs. W. O. L.) Answer Eating "dirt" or other things than food Is not an Indica tion of any deficiency In the diet. Many babies have this habit, called pica," and they get over It in a year or two, and no harm done, as long as they don't eat polluted things. Ed.

If the government la to contract big bills. It must levy taxes with which to pay them. Otherwise It must start the print ing presses, and every nation so far that has started In to pay Its bills with printing press money has gone broke. LEVTINO taxes with which to pay government's bills, especially when the bills are vast in size. Is PAINFUL.

TAKING Inflation to ease the pain of taxation la exactly like tak ing morphine to ease bodily pain. Increasingly bigger doses are required to get the desired result, until in time the taker la destroyed. YOU read in the papers these days of the Saar plebiscite. These are big words and perhaps you may be hazy as to their meaning. "Plebiscite" Is a Journalist's word for what a plain, working news paper man would call an election. The Saar plebiscite means that on January 13 the Saar basin, which was taken away from Germany by the Versailles treaty, will hold an election to decide whether It will stay with France or go back to Germany. The Saar basin Is rich in coal and Iron, so both sides want It badly. T EING a plain, more or less U straight-thinking American, liv ing In a country where common sense still has a certain value, you may be Inclined to ask: "What difference does It make WHO owns the Saar If France wants the Saar's Iron and coal, why can't she BUY them, Just as we buy what we want from Canada? Why can't Germany do likewise? You miss the whole point. It isn't Just the coal and Iron of the Saar that France and Germany want. It is CONTROL of these products In time of war that they are after. It Is self-sufficiency in time ot war that France and Germany arc thinking of, and war and common sense have little in common. (Contlnueo f.om page one) You will not find it among the published figures of the natural resources board, but the board has a definite breakdown on Its ten year program expenditures as fol lows: Federal public works 3.5 bil lions: state public works 9.7 bil lions: city public works 7.6 billions: county public works 300 millions and low-cost housing 500 millions. It makes 31.5 billion dollars in all. Of course, the federal government would have to lend most if not all of the money because the states, counties and cities are In extremely bad financial condition generally. Some people grumbled because the president did not mention the 18 or 19 millions on relief, but grouped them as five million heads of fam ilies. The five million figure Is cor rect, and from the New Deal stand point. It srnmds better The accept ed method Is to figure one head of a family for every four persons on relief. The only b'g point which failed to draw applau.e as Mr. Roosevelt read his message the other day was the line that care of the one and one-half million permanently unem ployed la a local responsibility.
