Angle James America, In Seeking Basis For Peace In Europe, Is Chasing A Phantom There is an old saying which relates that in times of peace people talk about war and in times of war they talk about peace. The truth of the statement is borne out by the history of the world. Whenever there has been peace, people talked about war and when there has been a war, they talked about peace. For a long time there has been an undercurrent in the whole discussions of war and peace directed toward a permanent world peace, a time when war would be outlawed and the differences between nations or peoples settled by arbitration instead of with armaments. It will be recalled that when the World War broke out in August, 1914, immediately in this country there began an agitation for peace in Europe.

Nothing came of the movement for eventually the United States was pulled into the fray. The armistice of November 11,1918, ended the armed combat for the time. Immediately after the cessation of fighting, negotiations were begun for peace, a peace which it was hoped would be permanent and would end for all time to come the slaughter of people in warfare. High hopes were held for such a peace. The opportune time, it was felt, had arrived for the making of such a peace.

Out of the negotiations came the Treaty of Versailles. As a document for. world peace, it has been a rank failure. The treaty is now merely a bit history of the World War, a much tattered and worn symbol of peace. The current war proves it solved nothing, settled nothing, and gave nothing toward peace.

This matter of a world peace had gained considerable momentum when it became apparent a few years after the Treaty of Versailles was concluded that it had failed in its mission. Many people in this country are continuing the research for a lasting.world peace. The Scholastic Magazine, the American high school weekly, in its Armistice issue, has a copyrighted article giving a symposium of opinion by leaders of American thought on the.subject—such persons as Senators Key Pittman, Gerald P. Nye and George W. Norris, Raymond Clapper, Quincy Howe, James T.

Shotwell, Charles G. Fenwick, Dorothy C. Fisher, Rosika Schwimmer, Daniel J. Tobin and others. The symposium answers the question asked of each: "What kind of peace can America support?" All of the commentators to whom the question was put were agreed upon the fact that America should keep peace herself.

Incidentally all favored peace without vengeance. Otherwise opinion differed concerning peace, although the tenor of the statements was that America could support any kind of an honorable peace. Only one of the commentators quizzed by Scholastic Magazine failed to state what kind of peace America could support. He was Quincy Howe, former editor of the Living Age. He pointed out that it was the height, of folly for America to presume to tell Europeans how to solve their far more complicated problems.

We believe a great many Americans will agree with him in that belief. It is not the provision of Americans to dictate peace terms for Europe any more than it is the job of Europeans to dictate any peace terms or any other terms for America. Americans may be interested in the kind of peace that may emerge from the present war, but the interest should extend no farther than the possible effect that peace in Europe might have in America. The United States accomplished nothing in negotiating the Treaty of Versailles. It might have been far better, even though we were part of the World War when it closed, to have remained aloof and permitted the Europeans to make their own settlement of their own affairs.

In the final analysis that is virtually what the Treaty of Versailles was when it was finished. Political thought is totally different in this country than it is in the European nations. We believe that democracy as 'we know it is foreign to democracy as it is understood in Europe. The individual thinking which holds in this country is not present in European countries. There is no melting pot in Europe.

Racial differences are strong. There is no merging of interests. Instead national jealousies keep affaire embroiled and do not engender peace. Why should Americans attempt to find a solution for something that they neither conceive nor understand? This Would Not Be Child's Play Few Men Would Admit Error We susprcl that if Dr. Paul D.

Whilp, gatherer of heart heat records of big mammals, decides to attempt to obtain the pulse of the huge landlocked whale in Olga hay in the Bering sea. he will find the job more difficult than that of testing the heart action of the elephants in Ringlings' circus. As a matter of fact we wonder how the scientist, would go about getting the record of heart heats of a whale. Dr. White, so the dispatches say.

will not make the attempt, if it is made, himself hut hopes 1o find someone who is desirous of doing the job in the interests of science, and we suppose a stipend of some kind. It would he interesting 1o learn whether the experiment of clocking the whale's heart is carried out and the results obtained, that is. whether the job was done successfully without the whale raising a rumpus and upsetting everything. Tangled Travels Of Freighter The terse message of the railroad section he had been called for sending ino lengthy statements concerning read. "Off again, on again, gone again, would seemingly apply to the American freighter.

City of Flint, captured hy the German pocket battleship Deutschland in the Atlantic nearly a month ago. The vessel is again in charge of its American crew and e. we presume, to continue 10 its destination. Whether the act of the Norwegian government in interning the German prize crew and releasing the ship to its crew will cause international complications is conjectural. The Norwegians charged the Germans had violated the sea code hy putting into a Norwegian port without proper cause.

While nothing was said about it. probably the real reason the prize crew dropped anchor was to await a favorable time to make a dash for a German port without being- captured by the English. No mention was made in the dispatches concerning the cargo of the City of Flint but it is assumed that it remained intact since it is quite evident that the Germans desired the more than they did the ship. Another matter which has never been cleared up concerning the ship was whether it actually was carrying contrabands. For the present at least the freighter returns to the same status it had when it sailed from New York for England.

If the ship succeeds in reaching an English port, the adventures of its crew The woman juror in Illinois, one of the first to serve on juries since the Illinois legislature placed the men and women of the Sucker state on an equal basis as respects jury service, probably did something that very few men jurors would have had the nerve to do, especially in open court. She declared she had signed a verdict that was not Tier verdict in the case because of cowardice in submitting to the will of the majority. That admission will be seized upon hy those who oppose jury duty for women ss another reason why the inequality between men and women respecting jury service should not be removed throughout the entire nation. If the admission shows anything, it is a fitness for jury duty. It discloses an honesty of purpose though she was led astray in her first service by stringing along with the majority, a mistake which she is not likely again to make.

No one knows how many men jurors in the past have submerged their true convictions concerning a. case to the will of the majority of the jurors, for male jurors are not apt to confess openly in court that the verdict rendered was not their true verdict. Jurisprudence is likely replete With instances when one or more members of a male jury were browbeaten, by the more aggressive members of the jury into agreeing to a verdict that was not their true conviction in the case. Such instances, however, rarely come to light after the jury has returned to the court room but remain a secret of the jury room. There are a number of reasons why jury duty for women should not be compulsory as it is for.

men, but there is no real reason why women should not. serve on juries if they are so inclined. In the states where women are on an equal basis with men and are privileged to serve as jurors there are no instances where it could be said that women were not as good as men. In fact, it is probably true that they viewed such service with more seriousness than men do, and were more anxious to acquit themselves justly. It has always been puzzling to understand why so many men who try by every means to escape jury sen-ice when chosen are such bitter opponents of jury service for women.

God Bless America By Reg Manning Arizona Republic Staff Artist I Relieving Mental And Physical Disturbances At The Menopause As a woman approaches middleVmjections of estrogen in oil three age and the menopause or "change of life" comes to mind, she has visions of some of her relatives with the distressing symptoms of hot flushes, sleeplessness, irritability, and excessive blood flow. Until the past few years, this condition was considered just something that'must be faced and perhaps endured for a number of years. Today physicians are equipped with a remedy that greatly lessens all the symptoms of the menopause and makes it possible for women to go about their home, social or business life of comfort. with a fair degree In an article on the treatment of the menopause, Dr.

I. Henderson- Smathers, in Southern Medicine, reports results obtained in a group of women at the menopause receiving treatment by the use of extract of the ovary for periods ranging up to 'three and one-half years. The most common symptoms occurring were hot flushes, irritability, exhaustion, emotional instability, backache, irritation of the genital parts and sleeplessness. After first giving treatment by times a week, until improvement was noticed, the injections and amounts were decreased until but one injection each two weeks was given. Finally after two months of the injections, the estrogen was given by mouth in most cases.

"In the groups of patients under treatment for an average duration of IS months, 20 put of 24 were completely relieved while under treatment and six remained free from symptoms six months to two years after treatment was stopped. Of those patients treated for a shorter time than 18 months, all ob- and A University of the Masses By FREDERIC J. HASKJLN tained some When we relief." think of how women not only suffer many from flushes, irritability, and exhaustion, but undergo such terrible mental disturbances that it is necessary for them to enter mental institutions, the use of this new treatment gives much for which to be thankful. The idea behind the use of extract of ovary is that as it is the wasting away of the ovaries which is causing the symptoms, the giving of this extract of ovary prevents shock during the wasting process. Everyday Poems By Anne Campbell BAD LUCK A little stretch of ugly road Confronts us with our trailer load.

With care and patience we attack The difficulty. Forward, back We move, and finally we gain The sunlit highway through the plain, Our trouble back of advancing Smoothly aird clearly, our hearts dancing. Our perseverance and our pluck In a hard place has brought us luck! The troubles that appear to goad Us as we travel Life's hard road Are something like this rocky way That you and I traverse to'day. Bringing us added happiness When finally our cares grow less! WHEELCHAIR PRISONER Her wheelchair is'a prison Where mother is confined, But bars were never fashioned To stop her eager mind. Her hands are weak for lifting, Her feet can never run, But watch her valiant spirit Reach up to meet the sun.

To sit in conversation With her is to forget That pain is a companion That will not leave her yet So quickly her words scamper, So ready is her smile. We lay aside our pity And sit and talk awhile. And we who came to comfort This wheelchair prisoner Soon find that we are strengthened And comforted by her! For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen in not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 8:24 An Election Which Will Be Watched Closely WILLIS THORNTON A reader ran gpt ttm answrr tu qiirfttl'm of fart hy writing The Arizona Itrpitbllr Information it Frederic J.

A. Indian summer is a name applied to a short season of pleasant weather which occurs in the central and Atlantic coast states usually during the months of October and November, but more rarely in December. Q. Please jrive the origin of the cocktail. G.

A. There have been several explanations of the term cocktail set forth, but perhaps the most, picturesque is the one concerning a Mexican beauty. It appears that the original cocktail was made from pulque, an alcoholic beverage distilled from the juice of the maguey or agave. This liquor was discovered by a Toltec noble, who sent some of it to the king by his daughter. The king became so enamoured of both the maiden and the drink that he married the former and started a pulque plantation.

The name of the girl, which was Xochitl, became associated with the national intoxicant, and later when Gen. Winfield Scott's troops came to Mexico, they found it pleasing. Upon their return to the United States they simplified the Aztec name into cocktail, and brought it back with them. In case, you've forgotten, November 7 is election day. In most states, it will be practically the same as any Tuesday.

It will usual spectacle of an electorate in the doldrums the year before a presidential election. Voters in California and Ohio, however, are anything hut apathetic. Both states have old-age pension referenda, and political ammunition from both sifo has kept voters aware of the issue. In New York, practical politicians want to legalize pari-mutuel betting on horse races and let the state take its share of. swag.

Conservatives in California and Ohio are frankly worried. The mere fact that enough favorable interest was.aroused by the pension advocates to get the question on the ballots in these two states is evidence enough that the schemes have a chance of getting the voters' stamp of approval. And if that The painful reminder of Colorado's $50-a-month pension to all pp over 60 plagues unhappy statisticians in California and Ohio. Colorado, it seems, is gradually going And this state's liberal pension plan is mere chicken feed compared to what pension advocates in California and Ohio are asking. The California "ham and eggs" plan calls for a $30 weekly payment to all unemployed persons over the age of 50.

Ohio's clergyman, Herbert Bigelow, jj slightly less radical in his plan to give everyone above the age of 60 a guaranteed income of S50 a month or $80 a month for a couple. Budget experts in both states disagree with pension exponents on the costs of the two plans. Statisticians, it seems, can't quite make the figures balance. A few other states have issues of importance largely to their own citizens. Legislators will be elected in Virginia, New Jersey and Kentucky.

A governor also will be chosen by Kentuckians. About 350 cities are electing council members or are voting on local referenda. The elections have virtually no significance as far as 1940 presidential possibilities are concerned. But they will be a reminder that a presidential on is only a year away. All the fanfare, ballyhoo, conventions, campaigns are yet to come.

The neutrality debate delayed the political growth of dozens of candidates which flourished during the spring and summer and then withered momentarily while the nation turned to a "non-political" topic. American voters may as well prepare themselves for a stiff political season. There's a lot of catching up to be done. The Once Over ONE WAY OF LOOKING AT IT I. It is always very proper To expose a businessman And to put a frank defender Of traditions "on the It's okay to list defenders Of old customs gleefully, But to print the lists that Dies does Is as sordid as can be.

But to list the people Dies does Is a sordid thing, of course! III.

It's not allowed! V.

THINGS WE NEVER SUSPECTED UNTIL NOW Elihu Yale, generally supposed to be the patron saint of that college, and a man who gave much of his life and money to the founding of that institution, never set eyes on Connecticut He had little interest in education and, although a millionaire, only contributed 417 books and some goods worth about 52,400 to the college.

It was Hiram Binsham who reveals this in a new book- on Elihu. which shows Eli was a sharp dealing merchant in India, who sot his name linked with the college quite by accident. He didn't even answer a letter from Cotton Mather suggesting that he make a contribution toward the founding of a Connecticut college. To realize the extent of his generosity you have to think of John D. Rockefeller chucking in some books, a couple of automobiles, a cleek and a discarded fur coat toward Rockefeller Institute.
