BRISBANE THIS WEEK End of the Treaty Millions for New Farms Too Many Apologies The Mirror Monocle' Chancellor Hitler has demolished the remaining fragments of the Ver-

sallies treaty, notifying the great powers that they may no longer control, as they have done since 1918, the principal rivers of Germany. The Rhine, Elbe, Oder and Danube rivers, within German territory, now return to German control and France is content to ask other

powers to join a protest. Mere protests amount to little in European diplomacy, as the world learned from the Ethiopian war. That settles, finally, the Versailles treaty, a foolish effort to enslave a nation that made the emergence of this, or some other, Hitler inevitable. Mr. Tugwell seeks an appropriation of five hundred million dollars to provide, poverty - stricken farmers, now on worthless farms, with other land that will support them; also barns, houses, out-build-ings. He thinks $50,000,000 a year for ten years would do the work, and plans to vacate 9,000,000 “worthless acres.” Anything that will diminish human misery is desirable, even though incompetency may be in part responsible for the trouble. In England, the government, guided by experts, is making excellent pasture lands of soil that was worthless. Our government might investigate that process. General Markham, chief army engineer, advises putting an air base in the harbor of our Midway island, far away in the Pacific , ocean. The War Department says, apologetically, that- this would be a commercial development, al- [ though it might be useful for de--sense. . • “ 7 Why an apology? Nobody in Europe, Asia or Africa apologizes to us for building an air base, or asks our opinion about it. The War department says there is no treaty obligation forbidding ■ such an air base. If there were, what of it? Treaties can be cancelled, and should be when they are foolish or unjust—for further details, ask Hitler. Germans are said to be wearing a new eyeglass called-a “spy monocle.” Arranged to look like the ordinary single eyeglass, the “spy monocle” is arranged with a mirror, permitting the wearer to look behind him and see if there is anybody listening to his conversation. German police eagerly discourage any one who suggests that the Nazi government is not perfect. The opening of the Bay bridge, connecting San Francisco and Oak- - land, California, is important not only to California and the two united cities, but to the whole country. This magnificent bridge, eliminating ferries on the bay that separates San Francisco and Oakland, * is a magnificent accomplishment of engineering and public spirit. Mr. Green’s American Federation of Labor decides on a “fight to a showdown” with Mr. Lewis’ “Committee for Industrial Organisation,” which wants to unionize all the 30,000,000 workers not yet organized, and seems to include taking over Mr/ Green and his federation also. Neat on the program appears to be a big labor fight: Mr. Green is thoughtful, wise; Mr. Lewis is forceful, determined. The outcome cannot be predicted. The outside citizen will pray that there may not be too much interference with returning prosperity. A greatly increased demand for tools shows that more men are getting jobs, and announcements of new wage increases, big and little, are many. Twenty-three more firms better wages for a
