‘HAVES’ STRIVE TO FREEZE STATUS QUO AS ‘HAVE NOTS’ ARM FOR TIME TO STRIKE Six Nations Which Hold Two-Thirds of the Earth’s Surface Are Pitted Against Powers Like Germany, Italjr, Japan. EDITOR'S NOTE—This ii the third of four dispatch** analyzing the war danger and its causes. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Seripps-Howard Foreign Editor PARIS, March 9.—The struggle for access to raw material, in time of war as well as in time of peace—plus the fact that only six nations hold a mortgage on two-thirds of the earth—makes anew world conflict certain. The remaining third of the land surface of the globe is divided among some 60 less fortunate nations, some of which —like Germany, Italy and Japan—are arming night and day to force anew deal. No promises on the part of the “haves” merely to share

their surplus materials with the “have liots” will arrest the march of events. In fact, no such pledge could be kept as long as the League of Nations functions. Italy today is finding, just when sh.j needs them most, that essentials are being denied her by sanctions, embargoes or quotas. To achieve their “place in the sun, 1 ' “manifest destiny’’ or ■whatever they choose to call it, every strong power now knows it must control, as nearly as possible, three things: Adequate raw materials, markets, and room for economic expansion. “Have Nots” Await Moment These three things are possible only where there are colonies or their equivalent. That Germany, Italy or Japan would agree to any scheme of “collective security” based upon the status quo, or would live up to any such agreement if made, is unthinkable. They haven’t the slight,est intention of helping to “freeze” the present world territorial situation. Only the “halves” are willing to do that. The “have nots” are merely awaiting an opportune moment to fight for more. There are only 57,000,000 square miles of land on earth good, bad and indifferent. Os that, Great Britain controls 13,172,000 square miles, or approximately one-quarter of the total. Second comes the Soviet Union, with 8,144.000 square miles, or above one-seventh. France ranks third, with nearly 5,000,000 square miles, while China comes fourth with four and a quarter millions. U. S. Last on List Brazil is fifth with 3,283,000 square miles and the United States, with some 3,000,000 miles, comes last of the landed “Big Six.” Germany, with 70,000,000 population, is confined to an area only slightly larger than California—--185,000 square miles. Japan, with aproximately the same number of inhabitants as Germany, has even less land, not counting her recent grabs. Japan proper has 150,000 square miles, mostly of mountains, or about the same as Montana. Italy, with 42,000,000 population, has a total area—exclusive of her “collection of deserts” flatteringly called colonies —of a paltry 120,000 square miles. She is smaller than New Mexico. I do not contend that the “haves” should turn over part of their territory to the “have nots.’ This article has nothing whatever to do with the facts, plus the universal conviction in Europe that, like it or not, these facts are leading the world, at dazzling speed, toward another conflict. Miss Toint Altogether Japan, Germany and Italy insist they must expand or explode. And they naturally prefer to spend the force of tr.e explosion in a foreign war rather than in domestic strife. They talk a good deal, too, about being overcrowded. They say they must do something with their “surplus population.” Critics reply that when the Germans did own colonies they did not go there in vast numbers. They cite the fact that, there are more Italians in New York City than in all Libya, Eritrea and Italian Somaliland combined. And they observe that there are fewer Japanese today in Manchuria than are born in Japan proper in a single year. All of which may be true. But they miss the point altogether Germany, Italy and Japan do not mean they intend to round up millions of their inhabitants and send them overseas as colonists. They mean something far more fundamental. Seeks Access to Materials In Japan I was told again and again that, given adequate food supplies, raw materials and a market. Nippon does not need to export Japanese. Like little England, she can feed and employ them at home. Given control of Korea. Manchuria, Jehol and the northern provinces of. China between Jhe Great Wall and the old bed of the yellow River, Japan will be well on the w r ay to her goal. She might indeed send comparatively few settlers into that area. But she would have access to a vast store of raw materials now lacking, plus a population of 12 ft ,000,000 Chinese among whom to develop a controlled market. And w-hatever Japan developed within this controlled area would swell her own national wealth and help her hold her own among the great powers. in peace and in war. That is the sort of thing the “have nots” are really driving at when they talk of room to expand. As many people today live in New York City alone as inhabit the whole kingdom of Belgium. But they are able to do so only because of an ample hinterland supplying foodstuffs, raw materials and a market. Were New York surrounded by alien soil, the American island of Manhattan would be forever at the mercy of its neighbors. It could not long survive. What makes anew conflict certain Is jt fit that the “have nots” intend to fight their way to more as soon as they believe they are strong enough to do so. And second, the "haves" as always are determined to hang on to what they have. The League of Nations’ efforts to assure access to raw materials will not, I fear, stave off the trouble. tomorrow—Xhe bis IF’*.

HOUSE REBELS AGAIN IN LINE, IS HEPOBT Farm Bloc Quits Opposition to Welfare Bill. (Continued From Page One) give county commissioners and township trustees control over oldage pensions instead of a board appointed by a circuit judge,” declared Rep. Evans. The Senate this afternoon was to hear testimony on the unemployment insurance bill from Frank B. Cliffe, Schenectady, assistant controller of the General Electric Cos., and B. M. Squires, administrator of the old-age pension system of the Chicago clothing industries. Charles Stedfeldt, Communist Party leader, has been granted 30 minutes this afternoon to speak before the Senate on enactment of an unemployment insurance bill providing immediate benefits. Retailers Push Fight Despite refusal of Senator Thurman A. Gottschalk (D., Berne), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee to call a hearing, members of the Associated Retailers of Indiana w r ent ahead with their plans for a demonstration at the Statehouse Wednesday demanding repeal of the gross income tax law. Senator Gottschalk explained that it would be useless to call a hearing because the Senate majority is bound by caucus action not to consider anything except social security legislation at the special session. Bad faith was charged to the administration by L. F. Shuttleworth, managing director 8f the state retailers’ organization, who said that assurances were given in “high quarters” last year that the gross income tax law would be taken up at the special session. A bill repealing the tax law has been introduced in the upper chamber by Senator Ralph H. Jernegan (R., Mishawaka).

He ! was 47. Patou was just beginning to gain fame as a dressmaker when the World War interrupted. He had his greatest success in the years that followed it up to the depression. ’Patou was born in Paris in September, 1889. In 1911, when he was 22, he opened his first gown shop. He served in the war as a captain with a Zouave regiment. He came out of the war with an announced purpose of clothing women smartly but with simplicity. His tremendous fortune was broken by the depression. His death interrupted an attempted comeback. COLUMNIST’S HUSBAND DIES IN WASHINGTON Walter Ferguson, Tulsa, Okla., Succumbs to Heart Disease.

LOCAL AIRPORT TEST MAY END FLYINGDANGER Blind Landing Equipment Is Seen as Advance in Air Safety. .Continued From Page One) Terre Haute, Louisville, Ky., and Cincinnati, O. Heretofore planes have been able j to get from port to port by this sys- : tern, but in unfavorable weather couldn’t land at their destination. During the recent cold wave here, the pilot of a transport plane made 10 “passes” at the Municipal field, but was unable to get down. He was forced to fly farther West. Radio Beams Are Used The new equipment deals not with the problem of direction but with landing. A pilot, flying on a radio range station beam, knows when he comes over his home field, because he runs into a “cone of silence.” For purposes of narration, we will leave hi mat this point until we can describe the blind landing system. Mr. Griffin has built two radio stations established on a line with the approach runway. The inner building is located 1500 feet from the airport boundary, and the outer station is 900 feet farther out. Each of these stations sends out a non-directional horizontal radio beam and a vertical beam. A flier coming into the “cone of silence” tunes for the inner station horizontal beam, which puts his radio compass at zero. If he is flying out of line with it, the needle will swing either to right or left. As he flies over this station the vertical beam flashes a red light on his instrument board. This indicates his exact position. Flier Follows Beams Then he makes a turn, tunes to the outer station, and flies over it. When he reaches the outer station, he makes another turn and now heads in for a landing. After passing over the outer station for the second time, he again rechecks his compass and starts to throttle down. Upon reaching the inner station, Mr. Griffin estimates the pilot’s altitude should be approximately 150 to 200 feet. When the inner station’s vertical beam flashes his red light, the pilot starts his glide. At 100 feet he is expected to be able to pick up the outer approach lights that lead to the runway. The runway itself is marked with flush-type lights, and the flier should be able to follow down and make a normal landing. He can use the lights and make a semi-blind landing or continue to use only his instruments. Although this experiment was started in Newark, N. J., this is the first city to be completely equipped. The Municipal Airport was chosen because of its ideal location, and because it has no heavy traffic. ACTIONS OF MODERN SOCIETY CONTRASTED Pastor Points Out Inconsistencies in Noon-Day Sermon. Inconsistencies of modern society were pointed out today by the Rev. Robert C. Alexander, All Saints Cathedral vicar, in a Lenten sermon this noon in Christ Church. “With our alms we feed the hungry, clothe the naked and provide shelter for the shelterless, actually thinking that we are giving ourselves to God as He is identified in human need,” Rev. Alexander said. “Then we turn in our business and commerce and exploit and rob others so that they in time become dependent upon society as objects of others’ charity.”

CITY UNABLE TO PURCHASE LAND FOR ROAD WORK Only SIO,OOO Available for W. Washington-st Right of Way. The Works Board today informed the State Highway Commission it could not purchase the right of way for a project to remove the hair-pin curve at W. Washing-ton-st and the railroad overhead. The purchase would cost the city approximately $40,000 to $60,000. and only SIO,OOO is available, the board said. City Engineer H. B. Steeg proposed a plan whereby the dangerous curve could be removed without purchasing such an extensive right of way. The board is to confer with the commission later this week. Protest Street Condition A delegation from the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs appeared before the board to complain of the condition of city streets. Hubert S. Riley, board president, said that a program of permanent street repairing was under way and that the board was negotiating with the Indianapolis Railways for removal of street car rails where they no longer are needed. Members of the group were Oscar F. Smith, C. C. Livingstone, Mrs. William Turpin. Harry G. Stiles and Mrs. M. M. Muench. DOG POISONINGS PROBED Police, Humane Societies Join Inquiry on North Side.
