The Price of Peace
IT it gratifying to note the Honorable Neville Chamberlain,
chancellor of the exchequer in England, agrees with the
Medford (Ore.) Mail Tribune.
Yasser I
In commenting in parliament, last night, on the abandon
mcnt'of the Ethiopian deal, and the international situation re
sulting from it, the "strong man" of the British cabinet de
clared "Without Invoking military a notion, th. Laagu. of Nation
out not be effectlv. In retraining Italy."
Absolutely true. And the sooner this fact is realized the
better. Not that financial and economic sanctions may not be
exceedingly embarrassing to the victim, and act as t material
deterrent j . but they can't be made EFFECTIVE unless they are
supported by military sanctions. .
In other words at the present stage of world development,
the only way' we can secure world peace, is to be willing to
fight for it. ,
DOES this reduce the organized effort to secure world peace
to an absurdity . . an' admission the only way to avoid
war, is to invoke, it T - . . .,
Not as we look at H. ' " ' ' " ' I
It is no more absurd, than an admission equally true, that
the only way we can establish and maintain peace, between indi
viduals, is to be willing to exercise force' against those who
insist upon breaking it.
That is done every day in our domestic affairs. Policemen
don't .parade our city streets unarmed delivering orations on
the virtue of law observance; and urging the populace to
behave. '
Whenever trouble starts, whenever any individual decides
to be a law unto himself, and violate the covenant of a law-abiding-citizen;
the-police proceed to meet the threat of force
WITH force, and a greater force. That it all that prevents
modern civilization from degenerating into anarchy.
What is true of individuals' is equally true of nations; which
are merely large aggregations of the'sarae individuals.
Moral suasion is n6t enough; Tt never has been enough be
tween individuals; we see no reason to expect it ever will be
between nations.'''' ' '"
TAKE .the present' European situation, for example. Disrc-
- garding the League of Nations of which it, is a member,
disregarding the Kellogg pat which it signed, violating its
treaty of amity and. peaee with Ethiopia, Italy is engaged in a
war of conquest, ui eastern Africa. .
Obviously there is only one. thing, that can stop this war;
meeting the force which Italy is exerting with a greater force.
War? Yes.' But a war .to end war.
Notice to'tbe'world, 'thjit any nation' that dares to opeuly
violate the, covenant of the League, will have the other members
of the League to 'deal with, not in the -direction of righteous
preachments and diplomatic notes of censure, but in the direc
tion of force, armies, navies, air fleets and machine guns.
That is the only thing that will stop Italy in Africa. That
is the only thing that will. stop Japan in China. .
IF the civilized world is not willing to fight for peace, it simply
is not willing to pay the price that pence demands.
There is nothing new or revolutionary in this idea. Inter
nally it is accepted as an axiom by every stable government in
the world today. How long would any government enjoy inter
nal peace and tranquility, if it refused to employ force, to
maintain themt '
Not very long. As far as this country is concerned, the
criminal underworld under such conditions, would have control
of the government in a week.
Well what is true NATIONALLY, is also. true internation
ally. That 't all. "

Don V Forget Christmas Seals
THE Jackson County Tuberculosis association. has mailed out
to midenta of Medford and -Jackson oouuty, the" new
Christmas seals and asking that checks in payment be returned.
This association and this movement are worthy of every citi
zen's support. It is probably true that a dollar speut for these
seals goes farther and does a bigger work than any other dollar
spent during the year.
Tuberculosis in Oregon last year claimed hundreds of lives.
Without the work of this association it. would, as it did, a
decade ago have claimed hundreds MORE. In Jackson county
the seal financed clinics have been held from time to time, free
examinations have been made by. experts,, preventive measures
explained, and at local expense children with tuberculosis have
been cared for. ' '
Medford snd Jackson county are benefitted by this work in
proportion to what they give. It therefore behooves all of ns
who have not sent in our checks to do so,-and be just as gen
erous about it, as our resources allow.
Every contributor may rest assured his donation helps save
lives Certainly no investment can pay greater dividends than
that!
Of the Inquiries coming to thie
column the proportion referring to
cosmetic la noticeably smaller than
at any time for
twenty yeara
back. I don t
know how to In
terpret thla, but
I believe tt Indi
cates that cos
metics are bet
ter today than
they ever have
been before, and
t b a t one may
new dye or bleach
his hair or tint
his complexion
or use depllla-
tory or rouge or other beautlfler
with a reasonable degree of safety.
Many reports of poisonous or un
pleasant resulta from the use of
cosmetic nostrums have appeared
In medical literature tn the past ten
or fifteen yeara, and It may be
that such occasional happenings
have led some of ua to regard all
such preparations as Injurious. That
la not a fair conclusion and It Is
not; smart. '
I used the masculine gender above.
Of course, girls and women are the
great users of cosmetics or beauty
aids, but these days an Increasing
number of persons of another sex
are Indulging In pcrmanents, facials
'n everything, where formerly they
hesitated to get a mnnlcure In view
of men.
Man or woman who can perhnp-'
hold a Job longer or get a better
chance In the world or m&'lte a
more pleasing appearance by the
use of any such cosmetic artifice,
makeup or disguise would be a ninny
If he or she failed to take advantage
of the opportunity.
Unfortunately there arc still cer
tain cosmetic preparations which
contain dangerous or poisonous
chemicals and thette objectionable
Items Inevitably tend to give all
cosmetics a bad reputation, espec
ially aa the makers of honest, high
class cosmptlcs seem to have no
ethical atawlard hy which to re
strain unscrupulous ones.
There la a need for some sort of
advisory. If not a censcrlng board
or commission to set up' a code of
ethics and rules for the guidance or
the cosmetic Industry, a reasonable
and sane code which will not only
remove the stWma which has grown
up In the mind or the medical pro
fession, , but which purchasers ot
such commodities- are entitled.
Apparently there la nn Inclina
tion on thepnrt of certain self
appointed censors to exnggernt the
danger Involved In the use of cer
tain cosmetic preparation These
unofficial but aggrrawtve ctttlcn
rometlmes give the general public a
wrong impression; they gave me a
wrong Impression of various popular
coRmettcs, which I have latterly
learned arc nctnnlly unobjection
able when properly used. Doubtless
I passed my bad Impression along
to many other persons. This la one
of the reasons why I think a "czar"
or a board of counsellors should be
selected by the cosmetic industry
Itself, and the rulings of this au-,
thorlty obeyed In a way which j
would win popular confidence and i
respect. I
If I believed my greying hstr !
might prevent me from holding or

Barry Benefleld takes whatever they
give authors for topping In self re
straint. He has not read a single re

recent "Valiant Is the Word for Car

through them but Is motivated by a
selfish Interest. He does not want to
confuse his own standards and be
tempted to please many masters In
stead of pleasing himself. Even when
they filmed "Chicken Wagon Family"
he did not go to see It.
