LOOPHOLE CLAUSES
In outlining again this nation's
foreign policy in connection with
strife in Europe and the Orient,
President Roosevelt made it clear
that Uncle Sam's policy would be
one of moderation but that we
would not sit idly by just hoping
for peace. As he said, peace can
not be just wished for. Coopera
tives action is necessary unless
we propose to put a wall around
the United States and live unto
ourselves alone, a situation which
would be impossible in this day
and age.
But despit the excellent inten
tions of the President and r
people generally, the unfortunate
thing is that peace is not assur
ed by cooperating peaceably with
other nations; by treaties and ag
reements. The theory is sound
enough. The weight of a num
ber of leading nations in agree
ment on an international pro
blem is conducive to peace.
The trouble is that foo often
there is are loopholes in the ag
reements or some nation decides
that after all it is only a scrap
of paper.
An examle of the difficulty of
getting satisfactory agreement
and making it stand can be found
in the new accord reached be
tween Germany and Belgium. Ac
cording to the understanding be
tween these two nations, Ger
many agrees to respect Belgian
territory and "under no circum
stances will she infringe upon
the integrity of Belgium." But
the usual old loophole is obvious.
Germany is going to respect Bel
gium, “except, if Belgium should
cooperate in any warlife opera
tions against Germany." And who
will decide whether Belgium is
cooperating in ‘-warlike opera
tions against Germany?” Ger
many, of course, and if the lat
ter wants to break with Bel
gium all she has to do is decide
! that Belgium is engaged in war
like operations" against her.
It's as simple as that. Unfor
tunately, the same situation ap
plies when a group of nations
attempt to get in agreement in an
effort to promote peace. The loop
hole clauses are slipped in so
that a change of mind can vir
tually nullify the agreement.
The President’s course is a
sound and perfectly logical one.
It is in keeping with the times
, and conditions. But there has
i been growing proof since the
[World war that integrity of na
tions is not what it once was.
Too many agreements are turning
out to be just scraps of paper.
Thus, while the theory is good,
practical fact makes it necessary
for this country to keep on build
ing armament; to have an army
and navy second to none so that
when some nations sees oppor
tunity to take advantage of a
loophole clause, the second safe
guard of peace, a cracking good
military machine, will make her

thought twice before moving in

WASHINGTON, D. C., (A3)—A
brain research institute equipped
with 5000 human and animal
brains, instrumens for their study
and cameras to record all pro
gress has begun functioning here.
Georgetown university’s offic
ials said, in announcing in their
medical school, that within a
month its facilities would be av
ailable to brain students, surge
ons and scientists from all over
the globe.
“It will be the finest, the most
complete, brain research institute
in the world,” Dr. Othimar Sofl
nitzky, its 40-year-old director,
declared.
Researh into the brain’s myster
ies, he said, will not be under
taken “just for the fun” of find
ing new scientific facts.
“All findings will be studied in
the light of their practical use in
understanding human conduct,
for application in diagnosis and
correction,” he added.
Staff members already are at
work in the new institute. Ap
proximately $25,000 worth of up
to-date equipment has been in
stalled or ordered.
The nucleus for the institute's
museum of brains is the collection I
which Dr. Solnitzky has been
building up since he began teach-i
ing anatomp here in 1920, first at.
George Washington university
and since 1935 at Georgetown. '
Dr. Solnitzky stressed the need
for brain study, pointing out that:
present-day knowledge is based
primarily on studies of Dr. His,
the nineteenth century German
expert.
“Much of his work must be
done over again,” the director
said. “Also, there has been only j
scattered wrork in studying the
functions of each part of the
brain. We know nothing of
many of the fiber tracts which
carry nerve impulses.”
