Saturday Morning, May 15, 1937 WORDS STRONGER THAN GUNS IN WAR Words not bullets arc the major factors in the fighting and winning of most international wars.

Words, words, words! They become the most effective instrument of any government when its armed forces become involved in a death struggle with the armed forces of another nation. The process is relatively simple. When the clashing of arms resound over a continent, the pen and brush battalions of each nation swing into action immediately. From their workshops, horrible scenes of the enemy's brutality and ruthless ness emanate for the wide-eyed and gullible world. Stories of rape and torture, pillage and brutality, women ravaged, children murdered are but a portion of the products turned out by these "press and photo The result is invariably the same.

In the neutral nations, clergymen will throw up their bands in holy horror and on Sundays tell their flocks about the godlessness of one side and the heroism of the other. Politicians inflate their lungs and issue blast after blast in their legislative chambers, calling on "this great nation to go forth and battle for the world's In every kitchen, barbershop, soloon and beauty parlor, tongues will wag about the terrible deeds purported to have been committed by the soldiers of one of the warring nations. Pressure begins to bear on the na- tional government. The chief executive listens to the pulse of his nation's life and, feeling the strength of its demands to go to war stronger and stronger daily, will finally capitulate. Consequently a whole people are hurled into war concerning the causes of which they are ignorant.

Neither do they know what the people look like with whom they are fighting. Then, suddenly, soldiers on both sides find that the "cruel and barbarous enemy" is not so cruel and barbarous after all. They begin to discover that atrocity stories and tales of inhuman acts are the brainchildren of bespectacled copy writers. But now it's too late to do anything about it. They're in the war now in it to the bloody end.

The above is no fairy tale. It has happened in an even more elaborate degree, and it can happen again. It's going to be hard to prevent, but it can be done. A palisade of peace must be built like a strong bulwark against the hammering surf of war propaganda which will surge against every neutral nation when war flares in another part of the world. Peace must be carried into every living room, into every back yard, into every shop and office in the nation, if this propaganda is to-be hurled back at the critical mo- ment.

That's part' of the job which -the Emergency Campaign has cut ont for itself its No-Foreign-War Crusade which began April 6th and runs for more than a month under the honorary chairmanship of Admiral Richard E. Byrd, retired naval commander and explorer. This Crusade is aimed at making the determination of the nation "articulate and effective" in keeping the United States out of war and it will offer ways and means of accomplishing this objective. A dramatic nation-wide broadcast on April 6, with Admiral Byrd, Mrs. Roosevelt and Dr.

Harry Emerson Fosdick launched the Crusade. In 2000 communities from coast to coast, churches, clubs, and individuals also staged radio dinners and late radio suppers and invited their neighbors in to hear the broadcast. Then will come the mass meetings in strategically important cities throughout the nation. Distinguished men and women are volunteering to apeak at these meetings, and every effort is being made by Emergency Peace Campaign leaders to weld together a national sentiment, strong enough to defend America from the jackals of war propaganda which will howl and scream from every corner of the earth when the crisis arrives. try faces an unemployment problem of staggering proportions.

More than 10,000,000 breadwinners arc without remunerative employment according to the conservative estimate of the Federal Department of Labor. A prominent economist believes another 1,000,000 should be added to that figure, since at least that many college graduates are without jobs, and are not included in the government estimate because they never had positions to lose. The money the World War cost for a single day during the last year or $10,000,000 every hour would build in each of the 48 states: 2 hospitals at $500,000 each; 2 high schools at $1,000,000 each; 0 recreation centers at $300,000 each; and there would be $9,600,000 left over for industrial education, relief, research, medical clinics, etc. The budget of the army and navy for the present fiscal year is approxi- The promise of decentralization is not an idle dream. Industrial progress is essential to maintain the system under which we live.

The land values are too high, the rents too expensive, the taxes too burdensome, and the physical restraints and disadvantages are too many in the city districts. Things always are changing in our forward-moving age, nnd industrial organizations arc being strengthened by taking them "out into the Of course population moves with industry, for one cannot exist without the other. Thus we may clearly trace the future processes of decentralization -a natural movement in American progress. Industry and humanity arc on the way back to the country.

Says a recent United Business Service report: "There is no general formula that will solve the labor problem. Each employer must seek to establish and preserve harmony in his own organization. For this purpose nothing can take the place of frank, fair and human dealing.

Be always ready with full explanations; maintain employee interest, in the firm by suppying plenty of information about its business, its problems, its achievements, interdepartmental relations, even earnings."

Dozens of industries today have huge investments in equipment and men whose sole effort is the development better and, if possible, cheaper products. The fight between labor and industry is age old. The fight between consumer and producer is no younger. Some men hojd that blind economic forces, generated by the profit motive, will resolve them.

The mayors arc just like everybody else they want their plunder. After that the "economy" may begin somewhere else.

After years of hiding their heads in the sand, the political managers of America's democratic form of government are finding themselves slowly but surely being forced into a position where they must soon make plans to 'provide the necessary revenues to meet the increasing costs" of the Government which they manage. Opposed to all measures for economy there are countless claimants for special favors who would continue the emergency policies declared four years the Government.

Statue of Cleopatra Is Egypt's Chief Attraction Though the Nile is lined with temples and statues erected to the honor of Egypt's ancient pharaohs, many travelers search especially for the one ruler who is most vivid in their minds and most expressive of Egypt's charm-- Cleopatra.

Actually, according lo an authority, only one original likeness, sculptured in Cleopatra's own time, remains in existence the statue on the temple at Dendera. This shows Cleopatra in the conventionally stiff, upright attitude, with the emblem of the god- of love on her head and the little caesarion, her son by Julius Caesar, at her side. The temple at Dendera is one of the best preserved in Egypt. But the fact that it retains its statue of Cleopatra is due to a curious circumstance, When Julius Caesar had been assassinated in Rome, his successor, Augustus, vindictively commanded that all statues of Cleopatra be destroyed. A wealthy admirer of the great Queen, however, appealed to the cupidity of Augustus and bought immunity for her statues at the fabulous price of 2,000 talents -something more than $500,000.

The image of Dendera, therefore, only one remaining, may be ungraceful from the modern point of view, but must rank as one of the costliest statues known. ent nn the my coml- fancy must given you when 1 offered to become your Canton nnd feur saving himself by leaping.
