but remain on it. If they could. The

Why We Favor Ethiopia?
AN intelligent and well informed citizen of Medford has
changed his attitude toward the Italio-Ethiopian war. '
He started out as pro-Ethiopian. 'He is now pro-Italian. The
reason! England. "Perfidious Albion.". He. has become dis
gusted with what he calls the hypocrisy of (ireat Britain, and
her obvious attempt at the present time, to use the League of
Nations, for her own selfish purposes, thus preventing Italy
from doing in Africa what she herself has doue, not only in
Africa, but in India and in other parts of the world, for over
100 years. . ' '
ALL of which, of course. is true enough. These professions
of righteousness and virtue not only from Downing Street
but the Q'uai D'Orsay are entirely dishpuest and insincere
mere smoke screens to cover up the obvious purposes of both
great powers, to safeguard their own possessions in Africa,
and keep Italy from doing what they both HAVE done.
It is not love of peace but lore of self (self interest) that
is the motivating force; behind all this League, of Nations activ
ity during the past several weeks, as far. as these two major
powers are concerned.
OUT after all that is nothing new. As far as international
relationships are concerned, self interest has been the domi
nant force for at least two thousand years, and promises to
continue for two thousand years more.
THE ONLY HOl'E IS THE IDEA OF WHAT REALLY
CONSTITUTES SELF INTEREST MAY CHANGE.
Many believed that as a result of the world war this idea
HAD changed.
There was the League of Nations, for example. There was
the Kellogg pact. There was the 9-power treaty.
All three were based upon the assumption that war had
ceased to be to the self-interest of any natiou, injurious alike to
victor or vanquished. War had always been morally wrong,
under modem conditions it had also come to be, economically
indefensible, a losing proposition, if not actually suicidal, for
all participating in it.'
That was the idea. So hy common consent of the, so-called
civilized powers war was outlawed, as a method of settling
international difficulties, and
So (we thought) a new era'
been reached; an entirely new
True England and France
resources and wealth, by military conquest so for that matter,
had the United States. Roughly speaking the era starting at
1S00 had been an era of advancing imperialism. But the world
war, theoretically at least ended all that.. Not only theoretically
but in fact, for every important nation in the world signed at
least one treaty, some of tjiem two or three, pledging them
selves to peace, and against war, PARTICULARLY any war of
conquest. . .
HPHEN ' suddenly "Japan, ' one of . the peaceful signatories,
plunged into a war of conquest in China, and Italy followed
suit by doing the same thing in Ethiopia. Tt is significant that
neither formally declared war, that might have placed them
in the same category with iniquitous Germany who regarded
its treaty with-Belgium, as merely a scrap of paper.' No they
did nothing as wicked as declare war, tbey justr proceeded to
wage it, they waged it against far weaker powers and for one
sole purpose CONQUEST.
WHEREUPON we come to
frienil vrhn ham swiiohet
is making a mistake.
The hypocrisy and cynicism prevailing in London and Paris
are admitted; also the fact that Japan and Italy are doinj; in
the 20TII century only what Great Britain and France and the
United States, did in the 10TH. But (and here we come to the
crui of the whole matter) times have changed siuce,18:?.V .This
is a New World, and it should be a better one. Yc sec little
chance of its being a better one however if the militarism and
imperialism of the Inst ceutury is going to continue unchecked
through the present one. VTe see no chance of its being a better
oue. if the written pledges of nations their solemn, word .to
do this, that or the other thing, are to be regarded for another
hundred years, as merely scraps of paper!
But as we see it, that is what support of Mussolini against
Ethiopia and support of Japau against China means, and such
support can mean nothing else.
JAPAN because she is strong, fearless and far away, to the
shame of England and the Ieagne of Nations. got away
with it. Now if Mussolini and his Fascist hordes also get away
with it, then GOOD night 1
The world will be turned back another hundred years, and
we will be just where we started from, bn.'k to the tooth and
claw of the jungle again. with no law but the will to power,
and no right but MIGHT.
That may be the result anyway. Things in Europe and the
Far East look black euough, we admit.
But we think people who WANT a better world, who believe
if modern civilization fails to find a way to eliminate war,
civilization as we have known it will end. Miotild at least do
what THEY CAN to help England, and Untie ScWsie in the
present conflict, and do what they can to force Mussolini to
sue for peace.

TIIK SLACKF.K HEART
Only four out of 136 overweight
adults whose heart Drs. Harry L.
Smith and Frederick A. Williams
studied and weighed when the fat
folk were thru
with them had
attained the age
of 70 yoars. rho
average length of
life ot thes 136
overweight adults
was 52.1 years,
and the oldest
one of them was
only 76.
So cut your
cake accordingly,
my hearties.
The 136 fattlsh
ones who didn't live long were on the
average 45 per cent overweight. Some
of them were only 13 to 18 per cent
too heavy, one of them waa 170 per
cent too heavy.
Their hearts were all more or less
fat amotnered. That Is, excessive de
posit of fat under tne smooth, cover
ing membrane of the heart and small
er masses of fat between the mtucle
bundle and between the muscle fi
bers of the heart wall. That, of
course, handicaps the heart of the
overweight Individual; explains the
breath lpssness on slight exertion. In
part explains the tendenry to shorten
life.
Once In a great while we hear'of
some one who has lived to be seventy
five or eighty years old in spite of
overweight. But these exceptional
cases do not seem to Impress the
hard-headed Insurance people. They
still frown on even moderate over
weight In an adult over thirty years
of age. They know the moderately
stout adult of mature age Is not so
good a life risk as the adult of nor
mal weight.
Women are rather too conscious of
overweight, meaning moderate nccum- 1
illation of flesh above the stantiard
for age and height. But they are con- j
cerned mainly with figure and fash- j
Ion, and little or not at all with ,
health. j
Men are not sufficiently conscious j
of overweight. They try to conceal
from the world and themselves the
Insidious accumulation of slacker
flesh aftr thirty, by the cut of their
clothes. Not until the condition de
fies disguise in that way does the
average mature adult male become
conscious of his sorry state.
This Is another argument In favor
of nudism.
For health, comfort, efficiency and
longevity, every mnn should watch
his weight after thirty and If ho finds
k gradual Increase creeping upon him
after this age he should institute
whatever change of his Uvlng regimen
or habits may be necessary to correct
the trouble. Now Is the time to pre
vent arterlorsclerosls, cardiovascular
degeneration, premature senility. But
