GERMANY AND RUSSIA MUST BE DIS
MEMBERED, SAYS DU I’UY.
William Atherton Du I’uy, American representa
tive on the 1,ihor Commicelon of the League cf Na
tions, who has juft reutrned from Europe where m
has been intensively studying conditions for a ycui
and a half, says the safety of the world demand)
that Germany anti Huerta bo dismembered. For Ger
many he proposes to substitute Prussia, Bavaria ant
Rhineland. Russia he would cut up Into a numbei
of Nations. He declares -that unless Germany is dis
mcni'bcrrd France juunt, in self-defense, hold the
Ruhr.
In a rt.atcment to the Now York World, Mr. Du
Puy, whom the World declares, had "exceptional
opportunities for political observation in his associa
tion with the league,” said:
Any nation, no matter how desperate Its
plight. Is an entity which may be financed
with entire safety and which may be de
pended upon, under proper control, to pay It
self oiat.
In the Interest of the welfare of their own
people and the future rafety of the world,
both Germany and Rusuia must be dismem
bered, converted into a number of smaller
nations.
The first conviction, which has a bearing
on ithc second, 1s based largely upon the re
habilitation of Austria, I buve just come
from Vienna and have viewed the salvaging
of a nation ns an accomplished fact. Aus
tria Is already reliuntly upon her feet, with
an established currency, reviving industry,
decreasing expenditures, assurance of a bal
anced budget in -two years, provision for the
amortization <f her debt thereafter.
What has been done for Austria is booh
to be done for Hungary—-easier task, for
Hungary is a more product!vs community. It
could be done for Bavaria or any of the frag
ments i nit c which Germany might break.
It could be done for Germany as a whole
tomorrow, for Germany but awaits the
lighting of the fires under her boilers to
bo -in .production.
But the world does not dare rehabilitate
Germany, for to do so would convert her
agan into a menace to the world. If she
were got going ehe would be. In a genera
tion, mere powerful and probably more arro
gant than she was in 1914. i Her recent
conduct is not such as to breed confidence
in her fatir dealing. That she would not
avenge hti elf on Franco is not likely, and
thir would precipitate another world con
flagration.
Safety lli only in the dismemberment of
Germany. Three email countries, Bavaria,
Rhineland. Prut.'ia, would offer no danger
to the world. Each could he immediately
set on its feet by Hie Austrian method.
Without dismemberment France must
hold the Ruhr. It is her only salvation.
With the coal of the Ruhr and the iron cf
tLorraine there is a danger of France bo
comng a menace that is little less than that
which threatens from Germany. This must
be prevented. The call for effective action
is Imperative.
rile world must act also, sooner or later,
to harmonize the chaos that was Russia.
Had Rus.ru prospered uini.tr Bolehovtisni
there would have existed another menace to
■the peace of the world. Red Russia would
have attacked. It would be safer for the
future if that great area were not centralized
under one head which may develop unknown
ambitions.
GOVERNOR SMITH CALLS THE THREATS
The favorite tactical maneuver In the ipolitical
campaigns of the Anti-Saloon League, which, by the
way. hat' thus fur refused to comply with the order
asking If lor a statement of its campaign receipts and
expenditure-', is to threaten to annihilate the political
future of all who ref tire to obey Its commands. Very
d.gniticd war the answer of Governor Smith to these
threats repeatedly uttered in hearings and in the
Anti-Saloon League press. 11c said:
1 have no i[k ’.itical future that I am will
ing to attain by the sacrifice of any prin
ciple or any conviction of what in my mind
is for the welfare and beno.1t of this State
and Nation.
If more ipes-ple pose essed courage like that of Gov
ernor Smith the intolerant Anti-Saloon League would
become it r arrogant, and, perhaps, more weakling
pclitican.' would talk and vote as they believe.
WHAT WOULD RESULT?
If some philanthropist who would desire to serve
his country well would offer to pay the expenses
oi every advocate of Sovtettrm in tho United States
fr< m here to Moscow, on condition that ho agree to
stay there, we wonder how many or them would leave
cnpitaHelic, class ridden America! The probabilities
aire 111 it ho would net have to be a v$ry irioh
philanthropist.
Suppose, oil tbe other hand, that Henry FVird und
John D. Rockefeller would offer to pay the expenses
of every Communist, Anarchist or Red in enlightened
Russia t.6 edtpe to aiu-cursed America on condition tb»f.
he stay here and suffer under the reel of capitalism and
before both of them would bo dead broke? That Is,
assuming of course, that our Government would allow
them to land.
The despatches say that Secretary Work has noti
fied the Seattle Chamber of Commerce that he will
not suspend the order removing the United State*
i.and Office from Juneau to Anchorage until after tht
President has had an opportunity to view the situa
I tion on the ground. In the meantime the office will
I be moved.
A Buenos Ayres racing fan, who had wildly
cheered the ponies, dropped dead as the finish was
reached. In his pockets were found sixty tickets,
representing a fortune, on the horse which had won.
Interne people cannot stand success.
If it had been a bootlegger that had made the
billion dollars bid for the Shipping Board fleet there
would not have been so much speculation about It.
The purpose and the forthwith would have been
plain.
Exit the Soap Box.
(Philadelphia Bulletin.)
The Socialist Party of America, recognizing that
their gospel has had poor selling value, are going to
change their methods of presenting it. The Chairman
of the Committee on Organization, Propaganda and
.Finance offered at the annual convention u rcsolu
tin, which was carried and which will mean the dis
appearance of the old street propagandist, who, from
a soap box harangued the passers-by and thundered at
I them the Marxian gospel.
The party will henceforth rely more on the
printed words. There will be concise leaflets, so the
resolution runs, "written by our best writers," "not
cheaply gotten up, but something that will attract
the eye and commun'd attention."
Of course the printing press can outstrip the soap
box as a circulating agent for propaganda, ScolaliFit
or otherwise. But still the humble platform was not
without its peculiar value in the Socialist appeal
i to the discontented.
Our Outranged Fleet.
(Chicago Trlibuno.)
Mr Wales says French naval experts are dumb
founded at our Govcrnimertt’s abandonment of Its
j naval modernization plans. We don’t wonder at their
astonishment, but we do not share it, 'because of long
experience wiith the ignorance and want of foresights
<}f American Governments in matters of national de
fense. The French do not realize that we cherish
a tradition of unpreparedneos which the bitter experi
ence of our soldiers In every war has not shaken.
The men who sustain that (tradition are not the men
who pay for it.
Meanwhile the French are modernizing energeti
cally. The main batteries of capital ships are being
rearranged so as to increase range, as our experts
iplanned to Increase our fleet range, and other im
provements are being installed—while our plans are
being held u:p, with the prospect of being thrown
into Congress to be handled by politicians and ob
structed by pacifists and partisans of false economy.
At present our battle fleet Is fatally outranged, and,
if obstructionisms and Benti,men>tallsts continue to
have their way. It will continue to be outranged.
Tills makes the naval limitation a fraud so far as our
pos.itoin is concerned.

Peace on Earth, Good Will.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Secretary Hughec, addre ing the opening session
j 01 the National C'onference of Social Workere, made
(two profoundly Important statements in discussing I
American relations with other peoples.
First, the Secretary declared to be clear that es
sential »conditions of peace “arc not to be found inj
artificial arrangements, bu.t in the dispositions of|
•peopioV' tHje declared it to be “idle to ta|k of!
proscribing war unit s the peoples are intent on
maintaining peace. Peace may not bo maintained
by force*,” as Premier Musrolini seems to think.
This is the es once cf incontrovertible truth. In!
majestic simplicity It was proclaimed to the shep-i
herds of Bethlehem near two thousand years ago. But I
tlie peoples of the earth never yet have accepted its,
verity*. They have 'but to do so to attain such a!
condition of peace as has not blessed the earth "since1
j civilization 'began.
The other striking and significant statement of;
' 'lie Secretary, made in relation to hemispheric devel
opment. proclaims tile unselfish political attitude of
' the United States with reference to the republics of
.Central .and South America, and the deeper and more
. important truth that, through broad and practical
. philantImvpy, rather 'than through the professions
i and achievements cf statesmanship, shall this con
l Unent and all its peoples come into the fullness of
an understanding and sympathetic amity. Thus, in
! the following words, the Secretary points the hopeful
I way adown the vistas cf a new perspective:
I question if the efforts of this Government for
! 100 >'ears hav« accomplished as much to promote
understanding and good will in l.atin-Amerlca as the
i recent well-directed endeavor of American philanthro
pists in combatting disease and thus directly con
I tributlng to human welfare.”

OUCH! LUMBAGO!
HUB PAINS FROM
SORE, LAME BACK
Back hurts you? Can't straighten
up without sudden pain, sharp aches
and twinges? Now listen! That's;
lumbago, sciatica, or maybe from a
strain, and you'lj get relief the mo
ment you rub your back with sooth
ing, penetrating St Jacobs Oil.
Nothing else takes out soreness,
lameness and stiffness so quickly.
You simply rub it on your back, and
out comes the pain. It is harmless,
and doesn't burn the skin.
Limber up! Don’t suffer! Get a
small trial bottle of eld, honest St.
Jacobs Oil from any drug store, and
after using it just once you’ll forget
that you ever had backache, lum
bago or sciatica, because your back
will never hurt, or cause any more
misery. It never disappoints, and
has been recommended for fiO years
