A World Gone Mad
"It la no accident, that because of these suicidal policies
and the suffering attending them, many of their people have
come to believe with despair that the prlos of war seems less
thsn the price of peace."
That is a very significant statement in the address by Presi
dent Roosevelt when he opened the Inter-American peace con
ference in Buenos Aires, Monday night.
Back of this terrible civil war in Spain, back of the war spirit
in Germany, lies the discontent and misery of the masses, and
their belief, that only by war can they achieve anything ap
proaching a tolerable and secure human existence. Better risk
death in war, than suffer the misery and deprivations, of their
day-to-day existence. ,
As the president further states:
"Lack of social or political Justice within the borders of any
nation Is always cause for concern. Through democratic pro
cesses we can strive to achieve for the Americas the highest
possible stsndard of living conditions for all our people.
"Men and women blessed with political freedom, willing to
work and able to find work, rich enough to maintain their
families and to educate their children, contented with their lot
In life and on terma of friendship with their neighbors, will
defend themselves to the utmost but will never consent to tske
up arms for a war of conquest."
In other words the elimination of war today depends iifon
the elimination of those factors which make war, and those can
be placed under one heading, the discontent and suffering of
the people, which unless removed, ultimately brings war, be
cause it breeds that spirit of desperation and hopelessness which
welcomes war.
Therefore it becomes clear, the path to world ponce is the
path to world betterment, not within the boundaries of one
nation, or a few nations, but all of them.
Something of a chore 1
I Tet, as we see it, that must
want world peace, clearly understand the underlying causei of
war, and are willing to pay the price that peace demands.
A EUROPEAN war ia threatened today, by those nations
which lack the natural resources, the room for expansion,
and economio betterment, essential to a secure and satisfying
national existence.
Under their dictatorships they have been led to believe, that
only by war, by armed force can such an existence be
achieved.
This is untrue of course, for under modern conditions such
a thing as a successful war of conquest, benefitting permanently
the victor at the expense of the vanquished is impossible. It is
merely to stupidly yield again to that great and tragic illusion,
that the world that has passed away for all time, can return.
But the people en masse can't see it, and because they em't
see it, and it is to the interest of their dictators that they do
NOT see it, the nations of Europe continue to rush headlong
toward a catastrophe that promises to spell doom to all their
civilization!.
T is really a ghastly, a grotesquely terrifying situation. It is
as if all Europe .had suddenly gone mnd, and stood poised on a
precipice, yielding to forces it could neither resist nor under
stand, when the briefest lucid interval would make it clour to
all, that war ii the one thing, that to the aelfish interest of all,
should at all costs be avoided.
But reason apparently has gone. The four horsemen are
riding on. Only a miracle, some sudden spiritual awakening un
stop them, and one looks in vain over the surface of the earth,
for any such manifestation.
IJOWEVER aB long as there is life there is hope j and as long
as another European war has not actually started, there
is still a chance of averting it.
President. Roosevelt in calling this Inter-American confer
ence of peace has made a step in that direction. A short step,
but perhaps it will grow into something formidable, and effec
tive, before it is too late.
. At least that is the only hope as we see it, of preventing
another world wide catastrophe.
War is bloody and cruel, ruthless and terrible, in the world
as it is, it can only be followed by calamities worse than those
threatened before the swords were drawn. But before all and
above all WAR IS UTTERLY FUTILE AND USELESS."
It is as out of date, as the dodo. War settles nothing, because
of the nature of the modern world, it CAN settle nothing. 'When
it is over, when all the blood and treasure has been spent, all
that was to ba decided by force, still has to come before the
bar of reason and adjudication, for the only decision that csn
be permanent.
And yet there is Europe on the brink of war, with the
present conditions in Spain rendering its outbresk on a wide
spread front, nearer than it has been, at any time, since Musso
lini started his invasion of Ethiopia.
And the only sane, rational, authoritative word for peace,
is-that of President Roosevelt st Buenos Aires.
Let the European powers get together now, consider the
demands of the underprivileged nations, and see if their legiti
mate wants can't in s,ome pesceful way be satisfied, Aftei all
normal man is a reasoning animal. And as the president pointed
out, war doesn't just happen, war is the product of internal
conditions which have, for one, reason or another, become in
tolerable. Let the material conditions in Euro) e return to
normal, and the political conditions will soon follow.
It's a s!m chance, but the only chance of saving half the
world from destruction!

THE CHILD BORN
In the article "Fate ot the Blue
Baby" we anawered a number of in
qulrlea from parents. Today we are
answering a number of almtlar In
quiries about
f wifcr child r e n born
with dislocated
hip.
It Is misleading
to call congeni
tal hip defect
"dislocation" of
the h 1 p. That
Implies that some
Injury haa dislo
cated the hip
Joint. The truth
Is that the hip
Joint falls to de
velop completely.
the cup or socket remain fUt or
nearly rimless, so that the hetd of
the femur or thigh bone does not stay
In the socket as It should. The hip
la not dislocated, for It never has
been articulated in a proper Joint.
The rim of the socket has simply
failed to develop.
Ood only knows why a child Is
born with this defect of growth or
development. No one can fairly as
cribe It to any particular fault or
cause. These statements apply as
well to all other congenital that
term means present at the time the
child Is born) defects, such aa hare
lip, clubfoot, cleft spine, cleft pal
ate, heart defects, etc. Only the su
perstitious and Ignorant attempt to
explain congenital defects aa due to
"marking" or as reflecting somehow
on the family, and whoever utters
such superstitions or Insinuations de
serves public whipping.
In most Instances congenital hip
defect becomes apparent only when
the child begins to walk, when a.
limp or lameness Is noticed pain
less. The earlier any congenital defect
j la recognized and treated the better
the final reault will be. Alert par
ents may notice long before the child
tries to walk, long before the child ,
Is six months old, that the crenses i
on the Inside of the thighs are deep
er on one side than on the other;
or that the leg on the affected side
cannot bo drawn so far outward as
can the normal leg; or that when
the baby lies In hla back on a firm
aurfftce, with knees flexed and feet
together on the table surface, the
normal knee will be higher than the
knee of the affected side, when view
ed from below or the foot of the
table; or that the bony prominence
of the hip (trochanter of thigh bono)
Is greater on the affected aide. Whpn

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Prevention of the Cii
Where I work every employee Is
urged to take one dose a day tor a
week then one dose a week until
spring, of (certain vitamin tablets) to
prevent cold. This costs six cents
per dose. Is it advisable? . . . (T.M.)
Answer It Is purely experimental.
However, It can do no harm, may do
good In cases where the employees
happen to be short on vitamins.
There are more economical waya of
getting the same amount ot vita
mins. As for prevention of the rea
piratory infections that keep emplay
eea absent from work, send ten cent
coin and atamped envelope bearing
your address, for booklet "Call It Crl"
While vitamin A la theoretically help
ful for prevention of respiratory In
fections, practically vitamin D seems
more Important, to me. '
Cataract

order to undergo operation for cata

Comment
of the
Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS
HEARST'S Seattle Post-Intelllgenc-er,
closed for month, aa a result
ot labor disturbances, opens again,
and President Roosevelt's son-in-law
will be the new publisher.
What of It?
Well, here In Portland (where these
words are written) the Impression
seems to be that William Randolph
Hearst la fully as smart aa he haa
been credit for being.
PORTLAND, as already suggested In
these chronicles, Is experiencing
a drought of more or leas unprece
dented proportions. With the first of
December Just around the corner, the
skies are cloudless (except when there
happens to be a fog) and when the
wind blowa It sends dust clouds scur
rying before. Umbrella and galosh
merchant might as well close their
doors.
The power companies are running
auxiliary steam plants to provide elec
tricity, and the Willamette river Is at
a scandalously low level three-quarters
of an inch below sea level, this
morning's report shows which
means that Instead of piling up
against the tide, aa Is normal, the
waters of the Willamette are actually
lower than the level of the tide.
PORTLAND Is Just-beginning to
feel the pinch of the maritime
strike.
Because of lack of transportation
(In seaports, you know, nearly every
thing comes In and goes out by water)
many Industries are either closing
down or reducing their operations.
Then, In the seaports, the ships
j themselves provide a big payroll
FTom the time a ship arrives until it
departs It Is working at high tpeed
to get Its cargo discharged and an
other cargo taken on. It la buying
j UPP" ' almost every kind In pre.
j paratlon for putting to sea sgaln.
All this goes on under forced
steam, for ships can't make any
money for their owners while they're
lying in port. The quicker they get
out of port, the more profitable they
are.
THEN there are the ehore organiza
tions of the shipping outfits-
offloe force, Ate. These shore organi
sations are neceasary to keep the
ships going Just as ground crews are
necessary to keep airplane In the
air. But with the ships tied up Idle,
there Is no need for office forces. So
stenographers, clerke, bookkeepers,
etc., are being laid off. Some of the
shipping outfits are reported even to
be taking their telephonea out.
All of thla affect buying power,
and while business In Portland la
still running ahead of last year It
Isn't running aa far ahead as people
would like to see.
BUT the city la bright and active,
and the holiday season la in full
awing. The street are attractively
decorated, and the stores axe gay with
Christmas displays. The hotels are
crowded. The Christmas spirit la in
the air, and it la a pleassnt city.
But It does eem funny, at this
5aaon of the year, to get up in the
morning, with the sun shining, and
walk right out into the street with- !
out an umbrella or any need for one. ;

Better syntax form would have
been: "I am slightly divergent." . . .
All that was before Son.lnLaw John
Boettigcr signed up as publisher of
the Hesrst paper In Seattle. "Di
vergent" Is no longer the word. It
means "receding further and further
from each other." BoctMgcr was
really selected as a frli-ndly gesture by
Mr. Heant to reconcile nil differ
ence with the new deal. They will
be moderately reconciled.
A leading labor spokesman for the
new deal says: "The union labor

Rising demsnd to put aU govern

not causing the 300,000 emergency

It has been done before, under Re

done again next year.

hss been snnounced primarily with
a view to filling positions in the so
clsl security service," It is stated In
a bulletin received today by Post
master Frank DeSouza from J. C.
Lackore, district manager of the
United Statea civil service commis
sion. "It is not known that there will
be any considerable number an
nounced," the bulletin continued.
"Positions subject to civil service re
quirements, have been filled from
many existing appropriate registers
from which certification may be
made to any service, bureau or de
partment.
"It la, of course, possible that some
spec l al e xam i na t Ions mm in d ue
course be announced aa the person
nel neoceasary to carry on the work
la expanded In the field or at head
quarters. Beyond this, no statement
aa to the number or kind of needed
personnel can be made at this time."
It waa Indicated that the bulletin
waa prompted by a recent advertise
ment by " so -called social security
counselor" which "left the Impres
sion with those malting inquiry that
auch sooaJled .counselor could se
cure employment In the social secur
ity board for them.'
The bulletin emphasizes that the
civil service commission employs no
agents ot solicitors, that no special
course Is required for civil service
examinations, that no "school" can
guarantee civil service Jobs, that no
"school haa civil service information
that la not available to the public
and that full information regarding
civil service examinations may be
procured at any postoffice.
