Europe, -Morally Bankrupt
'T'HB proposal by France
a formed under the League
retire from the Rhineland ha
precedent and consistency.
It has always been the contention of this paper, that the
League will never be an effective force for world peace, until
prompt action is taken against all violators of the covenant,
and such action is backed up by force.
But it is rnther late in the game to start such action now,
Before withdrawing from the League, Japan violated its pro
visions, by invading Manchuria,
her withdrawal.
In waging war against Ethiopia, Italy not only violated the
League covenant, but treated the Kellogg pact as a scrap of
paper. True mild sanctions were imposed against Italy by the
League, because of the insistence of Great Britain, but France
joined in them, reluctantly; and for several months has been
doing everything in her power to bring about their abandon
ment and give JIussolini a free hand in eastern Africa.
Under such circumstances it is inconsistent, to say the least,
for France to demand, not only sanctions, hut League military
action, against Germany, for doing merely what two other
world powers, had done before her, without France as a member
of the League advocating any drostro action whatever.
NOT that three wrongs make a right, but France by this
hpinred action lavs h.rself rtnen tn tha rharcre. that .he i&
motivated, not by any love for world peace, nor any high regard
for the sanctity of the League covenant, but solely and ex
clusively, by her own selfish interests.
France fears Germany and with reason. The Hitler occu
pation of the Rhineland, is a threat to her national security.
She does not fear Italy, in fact in case of war in Europe, she
would look for help from Mussolini. She regards her African
colonies as secure, regardless of what Italy does to Ethiopia.
Neither does she fear Japan, for the conquest of Manchuria
and the penetration of China, does not jeopardize her vital
interests there.
Yet as far as the League is concorned, the principles in
volved are the same. In fact a better case eould be made out
for Germany, than for Italv or
'
uniiieiRna aid noi involve conuursi or me mvHsion 01 hmuiiut
country, but. merely the extension nf military control to Ger
many's national border.
Therefore in demanding allied military action against Ger
many, the position of France is a weak one. She demonstrates
that, as far as the sanctity of treaties is concerned, it. is with her
entirely a question of "whose baby has the measles."
TOT thnt this shows France to be in any sense exceptional,
' Nor does it provide any excuse for Germany's violation
of the Locarno pact. in our judgment both a moral wrong, and
a colossal diplomatic blunder.
But it does reveal the depressing truth, that as far as ab
stract morality is concerned, the countries of Europe are all
pretty much alike, when one aocuses another on moral
grounds, it is just a case of the potcalling the kettle black.
In the last analysis all of them are actuated by just one
thing, their own selfish interest. They may prate about the
glories of peace and the horrors of war, the sanctity of treaties,
and the iniquities of violating them but let any impartial
searcher for the truth, dig beneath this camouflage of self"
righteousness, and the same sinister, cynical and selfish forces
will be found, at work in all the foreign chancellories, bent
upon advancing their own interests regardless, and getting
theirs while the getting is good.
Not a pretty picture, but the sincere advocates of world
peace, and a better international order, are merely deluding
and kidding themselves if they refuse to face it
For as long as self interest and only self interest rules the
governments of Europe, war is as inevitable, as the rising of
the sun tomorrow. Treaties of peace, pacts of peace, engrossed
preachments about peace, will never be more than scraps of
paper, until there is a genuine SPTHTT of peace behind them.

Well, lots of people who never at
tended medical school or veterinary
school sre very good at chasing dogs,
determining ownership of the stray
animals, snd collecting the damages
from the owners.
Another thing, the grave business
of collecting the dog tax brings the
police to one's door ones a year, when
they are checking up to find out
whether anybody without a real
stand-In haa neglected to contribute
to the dog graft fund. Were It not
for the dogs the police never would
get sround to some parts of the city,
The correspondent Implies that the
humane purpose or the ostensible
purpose of the proposed dog graft In
the un-named county of Tennessee
is to promote universal vaccination
of dogs against rabies.
Without dragging In or evading my
own agnosticism regarding the occur
rence of rabies In man, I may say
that until some one discovers the na
ture and cause of rabies In animals.

It Is something less than a noble ex

fsr too grest to Justify It, In the

The lawyer asks me what the au

What Is an authority?
Probably the majority of health of

tice, of taxing dogs and enforcing
universal vaccination of dogs against
rabies.
I should not know where to turn
to find a physician or health author

the question of rabies in man, though

TAX GRAFT
Authorities who believe rabies does
occur In man assert that many other
animals besides dogs are subject to
the disease, both domestic snd wild
animals. What tax on skunks, wea
sels, squirrels, bats, coyotes, cats,
horses, cows, pigs snd sheep? Shall
we exempt these various possible car
riers from vaccination
Viewing the question from every
side I am constrained to give It as
my opinion that the moving force
behind the proposal to tax all dogs
and vaccinate them Is the desire for
petty graft.
QUESTION ASM ANSWERS
Hair Dye
Would It be ssfe to use any kind of
hair dye or restorer two months after
an operation? Is metallic salt inju
rlous to health In any way? (Mrs.
B. E. T.)
Answer. There 1s no such thing as
a "restorer." The operation has no
bearing on the question of the use
of hair dye. If the dye contains no
poison. It Is safe to use. I do not
know what metallic salt you refer to.

Cutting Teeth
Last summer my two-year-old son
fell snd broke one of his front teeth
In half, and now It Is decayed, as are
two of his molar teeth. Please tell
me If I could or should have any
dental work done on such a young
child's teeth? Will he get a new set
of teeth when he is six years old?
(Mrs. M. W.)
Ans. Yes, by all means have the
dentist treat the baby teeth. The
child will cut his first permanent
molara at about the age of six yeara.
and the first permanent Incisors or
front teeth at about 7 or 8 years.
But the soundness or regularity of
the permanent teeth depend on how
well the primary or milk teeth are
preserved. That's why the dentist
should treat them now.
Fresh and Storage
Please advise Just what difference
there Is between a fresh egg and
cold storage egg, so far as health
and nutritive values go. Is prejudice
not a large factor? (A. C.)
Ans. Probably the fresh laid egg
contains more vitamins than the egg
few weeks old. Otherwise there Is
no significant difference.

JEFF RIDDLE, .on of Frank Riddle
and Wlnema. the Interpreter, who
warned the whltea (unaraUlngly. aa
It turned out) of Captain Jack, plot
to murder Oeneral Canby and hla of-
flfera at the flag of truce conference
In the Lava Bedi, brought to thla
writer tbe other day 4 copy of the
Philadelphia ledger publlahed March
35. 1M, juat a little oyer 100 years
ago.
The paper waa given to him In
Philadelphia, oa March 10, 1876. by
Colonel Forney, and he haa had It In
hla posMialon ever alnce.
JEFF RIDDLE la the author of "The
Indian History of the Modoc
War," compiled from Indian sources
and written from the Indian view
point. It la a fascinatingly Interest
ing book.
At the time this old newspaper wsa
given to him. he waa lecturing In
Eastern cities with Col. A. B. Mea
cham. whose life was saved by Wl
nema'a warning. Colonel Meacham
waa also the author of a book on the
Modoc war.
THERE Is no great and thrilling
newa in thla century-old paper.
but It la full of sidelights that are
now Interesting because of their con
tract with present tlmea.
For example, there la an advertise
ment of the People's Line of Cara and
Buses, with headquarters at Broad
and Arch street. In Philadelphia
(where the street goes under the arch
In the building, aa you will remember
If you have been there).
The advertisement has a picture of
the ancient steam englnea and pas
senger ears then used (looking more
like a stagecoach than a passSiger
car) and guarantees to transport
travelers from Philadelphia to Pitts
burgh In not more than two and
one-half DAYS, which was evidently
considered pretty good time.
Airplanes now make It In less than
that number of hours.
WE lesrn. also, that the brig Ark
had Just arrived In New York
from London, bringing to thla then
new land 1788 bags of wheat, 800
baga of oats and 3700 barrels of flour.
That waa about equivalent, one
would say, to ahlpplng peara to Med
ford In these days.
rIS related (In another advertise
ment) that beef Is to be had tn
a stall In the public market for 35
centa per pound. The cost of Hying,
one would Judge, wasn't a great deal
lower a century ago than now, In
spite of all we hear to the contrary.
THERE Is a story of a gentleman
who was treated for a fever, be
ing told by the doctor that his fever
added greatly to hla thirst and that
he would be wise to be abstemious
with Intoxicants.
He told the physician: "You look
out for the fever, and I'll take care
of the thirst."
THEN there Is an account of the
ad-entures of John xtnmn
genteel-looking ctllun who waa ob
served by the police while not acting
very genteelly" and ordered him
home. He didn't go. so they put
him In the Jug and fined him.
Boys would be boys, even In those
dsys. It apepara. And the police were
hard-boiled, then aa now.
(Nothing la said, however, about
raising a defense fund for John, and
Invoking In hla behalf every techni
cality and delay in the book In the
hope of finally getting him off with
out paying the penalty of his ungen
teel misdeeds. We've developed quite
few new wrinkles of our own In
the psst century).
IT'S an Interesting old psper, snd
the thsnks of this writer are due
to Jeff Riddle for his thoughtfulness
In bringing It In. Poor devils of news
paper men. with a dally column
hanging around their necks, are
grateful for subjects to write about.

WESTON. Ore., April g. OF) A
nose for news, solitude and eoncen
trat Ion Is the recipe of Clark Wood,
the "Sage of Weston. for editorial
"shorts," those brief, pithy comments
closing the editorial column.
Wood, whose 'shorts" have been re
printed throughout the nation, says
after a half hour of concentration,
"you may have one good paragraph
and again you may not. If your
product lacks lustre, repeat the form
ula ad Infinitum."
"Even If you are good, there is no
money in it." he added. "And bril
liant paragraphs do not pop out of
somebody's head.
Wood, 68, haa spent most of Ms
life In this Umatilla town, with a
short time out for newspaper work
on the Pendleton East Oregon tan and
the Portland. Ore.. Journal.

There are few things mora
terrifying then a high-speed blow

you can't stop. Anyone who
has lived through those sicken

headlong off the road will tell you
they never want to ha another
blow-out. n
No Extra Cost
Why take this dreadful risk. You
may spend a whole lifetime re
gretting it. Play safe! Insist on
Goodrich Silvertown Tires with
the world-famous Golden Ply
blow-out protection. No other
tire in the world has this Golden
Ply, yet you pay nothing extra
for Goodrich Silvertowns.
