Life Is
WHAT it human life worth t Wot very much, in Spain.
, . The civil war there bag gone on for a year, and it ia
estimated it has cost a million lives to date.
That's a terrible price to pay for ANYTHING obtainable on
this ball of dirt. Legally speaking it represents $5,000,000,000,
ss a damage claim against Old Man Mars. In human values,
the total in human suffering, sorrow, and. anguish, can't., be
calculated. :
AND for whatf According
NOTHTNOI
vTbe Spanish war to date is
two conflicting, forces stand
twelve months ago.. . . . .
But the insane slaughter is'going on.'
One side is as determined as the other. It's a fight to the
death.' Like two gladiators engaged in mortal combat, the end
can only come when one or the other falls.' Perhaps both.
... -. . .
rAT is unless there is foreign intervention, armed inter
vention, to compel peace by superior force. Were the
other world powers in Europe united, and CURED ENOUGH
about peace, to make the sacrifice, this could be done.
But they don't. 'They are
factions in Spain.
Germany and Italy are aiding
The other nations arc sitting on
to see which way .the cat is going to jump, and hoping their
armies and navies will be ready
In short, foreign intervention,' under such circumstances,
instead' of ending the Spanish
eral and' devastating European
So either thator mutual exhaustion, is the only hope of peace
in Europe. An appalling prospect but human life is cheap!
War or
TriT.HQUT a declaration of
against China to get what it wants. With a superior
army, and the only naval force, in the Far East, another slaugh
ter, particularly in the large Chinese cities is predicted, by
the experts. China has the man power, and a better army than
is generally supposed, but will probably be no match for Japan,
if Nippon is in earnest. And Nippon seldom is anything else.
IF a poll of the world could be taken, world opinion would
be practically unanimous against a continuance of the war in
Spain, which threatens destruction and disaster to civilized
Europe. The feeling against the conquest of China by Japan
would.be almost as strong.
But what has popular opinion got to do with it T Nothing,
as the world is at present constituted.
-As has been frequently stated In this column, until we care
enough about peace to be willing to FIGHT for it, there will
be no peace. '
BUT we don't care enough about it to do that. In fact the
strongest sentiment in this country at the present time, is
probably the sentiment to keep out of war AT ANY COST.
" Let the faotions in Spain fight it out. It's none of our affair.
Let Japan and China fight it out, it's their funeral" not
ours.,-
And if the Cbino-Jap conflict spreads throughout the Orient,
and the Spauish conflict throughout tho Occident, well, let
them spread I There is the Atlantic ocean on one side and the
Pacific on the other. This oountry is safe.
BUT is itl That's flic important point.
In the short view prct-ibly, yes. But how about the long
view, carrying the acceptance of war, as a method of settling
differences, to its logical conclusion?
That's very different. At least to one with any real under
standing of what modern war is; what super-nationalism
means; what a factor a nation's economic well being, is in
the arousing of those passions that bring conflict.
IN the long view with cars raging throughout the rest of the
world, this country will be unable to keep out of them.
The world, economically spesking is one, whether we like it or
not. And no matter how fervently we desire peace and we
do, with wars on both sides, there will be no possible way
to maintain it.
We will not only get into it, but public opinion would
demand we get into it, and those vigorously . opposing such
action, would be again rounded up and put In the concentration
camps.
WHICH brings us back to where we started from. When
, it comes to this war business, there are only two possible
views to seriously maintain.
Either FAVOR war, or OPPOSE war!
If you favor war, then FAVOR it, not only wheu others
are involved but when you are involved.
If you oppose war then oppose it, not this war or that war,
but all war.
F you belong to the first category, then you have nothing to
worry about, not for the present at least. This country is
not at war, probably won't be for some time, and when it is,
well you and your family will have nothing to do when
war conies but ry .the prioe for it. That's all.
IF you belong to the second category then you HAVE some-
thing to worry about. For you are never going to have
world peace, or any approach to it, unless you and all others
like you, not only in this country but all countries are willing
to fight for it.
And we mean just that. Fight not only for a world opinion
organized against war, but backed up by a force superior
to any force that can be organized against it. lo other words!
an international police force, to maintain peace BETWEEN
nations precisely as peace is maintained today WITHIN them.
At least that's the only hope aa we s?e it.

Inoculation with the malaria para

be lnocultaed In other ways, accident

of Anophelea la the only way a person
can ' get . malaria naturally. Low
ground, swsmp, dampneas, freshly
turned earth, watermelon, the state
of the liver and the purity or Im
purity of the blood have nothing to
do with It. No Anopheles mosquitoes,
no malaria. Common Culex mosqul
toles have nothing to do with It.
When a Culex mosquito alights Its
body la nearly parallel with the sur
face. When an Anopheles mosquito
alights Its body is nearly perpendicu

kind that does not carry malafla.

Please stata whether raw egg Is
more digestible or more strengthen
ing than cooked egg. and why. (Miss

Answer Egg cooked as you prefer
is more digestible snd more nutri

substance In raw egg white

At dinner by candle glow tonight
there was one of those overbearing
males that seem to have become a
part of New York In the past few
years. He la at every gathering, brash
bad-mannered and cocksure. Dlsraeu
once described such a poltroon as
"a sophisticated rhetorician, Inebri
ated with the exuberance of his own
verbosity and gifted with an egotis
tical Imagination that can at a.I
times command an Interminable and
Inconsistent series of arguments to
malign his opponents and to glorify
himself." All of us know at least on 3
perhaps several.
There was dinner talk, too. that ail
the current dictators are teetotalers.
And some of the more liberal mind
ed appeared to think that was an ar
gument against strict temperance.
The fact Is, most dictators drank
more or less until they ascended to
absolute rule. Then they realized they
must watch their step and the slight
est flip might. mean the boot or the
firing squad. The befuddlement of
wine and the morning hangover do
not go with grinding the will and
freedom of the people Into the dust.
If you don't mind my mounting the
soap-box for a moment.
I have been trying to lash myself
Into an urge to go to Europe this
summer, but I'm still apathetic, as
Is my wife. I have not seen Paris
for nearly three years, and even then
It had begun to droop, and today
those who know It well say the gloom
can be cut with a dull knife. The
famtHar American haunts are desert
ed, the Champs Elysees Is cluttered
with five and tens and cafeterias
The once gay boulevards now begin
to pile chairs on the tables at 10
o'clock and at midnight Montemartre
calls It a day and yanks down the
corrugated shutters. Berlin Is like
wise lifeless at night and London,
following the example of the new
king. Is living quietly. New York
thus has become the most exciting
city In the world. New cafes, new
night clubs, new plays. At least so
such gadabouts as Louis Sobol tell
us.
New York seems, more than ever
to be "vacationing" at home this
summer. Mny who flitted off to
the European spas, the Adirondack
and coastal havens are remaining tn
town. Few of those ponderous pal
aces, where the butler lifts tbe port
cullis to reach for the morning milk
and lets down the drawbridge to put
out the cat. are boarded up in tbe
usual manner. No one appears to
have a definite explanation as to ths
why.
All. I am sure, have noted an In
clination among friends and ec-
qualntances who used to be abustle
with energy to go places and do
things, to merely drift. There seems
a general lassitude, a constant polite
effort to stifle a universal yawn. An
attitude that nothtng much matters.
It might be the depleting aftermaths
of a drawn-out depression, a natural
let down that means nothing. Or It
may mean something portentlous. At
times to me It has grown a bit

nated for congress, thus skipping the
roundabout path that many con
gressmen have to take, the one that
leads, through the state legislature.
He wasn't one to take the longest
way round on his way to what he
was after..
His position In the Democratic
party paralleled hla political career.
In 1919 he was chairman of the
state Democratic convention tn
Louisville and tn 1934 at Lexington.
He was delegate-at-large at the San
Francisco national convention In
1920 and In 1934 at New York and
again at Houston In 1928. Then
came the Chicago affair when he was
made temporary chairman.
In 1927 he. was promoted from tbe
house to tbe senate.
He has three children, two girls
and a boy. One of his daughters
served as bis secretary until three
years sgo. '
Senator Barkley himself has built
up a wide friendship, for he la a
genial personality, likes to mix with
people, to take his part tn the enter
tainment that Is part' of Waahlngon
life. These days are busy ones for
him but then all days are. His
work naturally Increased while shar
ing the burdens of the party leader
ship with the late Senator Robinson.
He's willing, but not anxious for
more. .

The Valiant
(Dedicated to
Amelia Earhart Putnam)
Vikings of the air, who ahame the
eaglea flight.
Pierce the fogs of day and sleet ot
night;
Flying blind and plunging through
the dark.
Reckless of the cost they reach the
mark.
Victory or death, Is worn with equal
grace
By these conquerors of time and
space.
To high adventure, their Uvea are
consecrate:
Olrt with courage they greet their
fate.
Mid coral reefs In southern
Are crippled wlnga of such as these:
O'er polar wastes of the trackleas
north
Are wings of those who ventured
forth.
Darkest Africa's jungle wild.
Has heard the hum of the eagle's
child:
Icy crags of the mountain's crest.
Hav. alashed the heart from the
eagle's breast.
Their far-flung vision and lagreas
of soul
win bring to us the cherished goal:
oec&uae m mem. we'll traverse Mars,
And hsve Intercourse with stars.
