The Next Peace Must Not Fail: old notions of "sovereignly'' must go mid aie going into the discard in order tu build a lulling peace, declares Sir Norman Angell, himself whine r of the Nolh-I peace prise in 1933. in the current Kolarlan magazine. Even Indore December 7. Britain waived tbe old ideas us national boundaries to allow the l’nited States lo maintain armed forces on British soil. Peace, warns Sir Norman, cannot Im- secured by any Mueprlnlcd plan atone. It must lie implementefl with security. And it was to maintain security that l’nited Stales Navy bases and Army airfields were allowed on British colonial soil In turn, for m-< ttrlly tbe L’nited States and Canada waived portions of their traditional sovereignties to set up the l’nited States-Canada Board of itefcnsc. The failure of the peace of 2u 1 years ago was not due to defects in the plan for peace, but to the - unwillingness of nations lo carry 1 out the accepted plan. Even the 1 Treaty of Versailles itself was based on a fooling of insecurity aud 1 unwillingness of the Big Four lo promise sulcty.

"I?” Dick considered the question with an abstracted air. as if it might be a scientific problem. Meanwhile, his eyes followed the golden head of Gladys and tne dark head of Vaslav, so close together as they danced. He looked buck at Brinda. “No, scarcely that. It's just that I'm a little surprised. Gladys is usually careful of appearances. And after all. we're engagrd.” “Perhaps we'd better go—before they sec us.” “No. I’ve always longed to see the Honorable Lady Gladys embarrassed. Besides, we came in here looking for a parachutist. Maybe we'll find one. Wbat do you think?” “1 don't know,” confessed Brinda. “I'm beginning to wonder if 1 saw anyone after all. tvcrything hero look* so routine-- so much like any other nightclub.

There's something about you that challenges the eye. Lot* of things, , all nice.” “I don't mean being watched that way.” she replied. 'lt’s more like the feeling you get ia India -in the jungle—the feeling of wild beasts watching you—hiding—waiting to spring.” Dick studied her thoughtfully. “Perhaps Sir John is right, dear.

Faun Security program are in position today to answer their Nation's call for food. Mt. Beck said. Sime 1935, he explained, farm security has aided more than 17,50 u Hoosier farm families, assisting them to regain financial security, rebuild their morale, and become efficient farm operators. 'Thousands of f amtlleo have been kept on the soil by farm security," he said. "Many of them faced bankruptcy when they came to Fann Security for assistance, and would have beeti forced to <tuite farming and migrate Inta tbe cities if It had not been for PSA. Today, these families want to serve their Nation, can serve IL and are doing so." Thousands ot other small Hoosier fanners can likewise stop up their production tremendously through the FBA Food for Freedom production program, which only the authority from Congress to swing Into full operation. "Often a small loan aud a bit of friendly cuusel are all that a farmer needs to Improve his farming operallong. He can make (he loan pay for Itself through lncreas<-d production," Mr. Heck explained. The k'artn Security Administration is the one agency that has championed the cause of the small farmer. Mr. tock said.

Vsslav saw them first, ami hia brilliant, dark eyes Bashed a quick glance of recognition.

Vaslav bowed. “I am especially grateful to Lieutenant Maidan,” be . said in hi* devp, musical voice. ’ “Here I have been longing to have , a chat with Mias Duncan” — ha t beamed at Brinda—“and, behold, he appears with her! Lieutenant, you increase my already great reepoet for the Royal Navy.” Gladys Mashed Brinda a wick. , curious glance.
