Shotwell Offers Two

Remedies in Fight for
World Neutrality
(Continuea From Page One)
tingly slow, and seldom dramtic,”
he said, but it wins m ‘long stret
ches of history, because it embod
ies _and provides for the welfare of
all?
The choice cannot be fairly made
until we know more of this second
alternative, and especially until we
learn the possibilittes and uses of
international cooperation, the Uni
versity Institute of Public Affairs
speaker continued.
“That we owe it to ourselves an@
to our country to explore this line
of policy is doubly clear from the
implications of disaster in either
isolation or militarism,” he said.
“For cooperation. 1s the techni
que of peace. !
“The world has not yet learned
it but is schooling itself more rap-
Hdly in it than in any other politi
cal device since the dawn of civili
zation.”
Dr. Shotwell denounced iron-clad
isolationist neutrality, as.in pres
ent United States legislation, since
neutrality is a status which af
fects interests of other nation as
well as our own.
He said recasting* of “existing
and agreed relationships by uni
lateral action is a gerious step.”
~ Earlier Dr. Shotwell said:
~ “It has always been a puzzle to
foreigners that the United States
could proceed with its plans for
building a navy second to none at
the very same time that it led the
world in calling for renunciation
of war ag an instrument of na
tional policy.
“They found it hard to be con
vinced that such a fleet was really
necessary for our defense.
“It seemed ‘to them like a sym
bal of politics of power, the very
thing which the Kellogg pact had
denounced,
“But popular backing for this
program was too strong to be den
ied. The peace movement helped
it along’ by the support which it
gave to the Washington conferen
¢e method of naval limitation by
ratios.”
He said many even came to believe
in this country, that the time has
come to do away with the peace
pact altogether, and trust our safety
to the navy and old-time diplom
acy, explaining:
“At least the issue is clear-cut.”
Dr Shotwell meant that nation
alism is raising its head in the
peace talk.

Whether by accident or design,
it matters little, a local drugstore
this month certainly presents bills
to debtors in very thoughtful
manner,
When Athenians opentd letters
containing bills from this firm just
a‘ter the First, they found enclos
ad a genervus sample of a well
knuwn headache powder. And
that's what we ecall service.
Well, Is it Cold '
Enough For You?
" Ever since the Omnibus printed
a squib a short time ago about the
bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln
in a Chicago park getting so cold
that Abe took his hand off. the
head of a small Negro hoy and
put it in his pocket, this column
has reccived numerous messages
telling how cold it was somewheére
else.
One tried to pass off that Asso
ciated Press story of the dog
freezing to death while walking
along the highway. The story had
been somewhat localized but
we spotted it jus: the same.
Another told of the fellow up in
the mountains who stepped out
doors to see how cold it was, no
ticed his shoe was untied and
froze to death while bending over
to tie the laces. They buried him
in a bass drum, the contribution
snid. ‘Walter Winchell used that
one a few weeks ago, attributing
it to the late Wilson Mizner.
From Blue Ridge, Ga., came a
story that a truck left standing
on the highway overnight, could
not be budge when the motor was
started next day. The tires had
firoze to the ground and the
truck couldn’'t move until they were
dug loose from the ice. Blue Ridge
is too far away to check up on that
one. .
Maybe you know of some in
stances you would like to share.
If so, send them in.
lce On Ttrees In
Commerce, Winder.
Athenians who were visiting
friends in Winderr and Commerce
Sunday told the Banner-Herald
Monday afternoon that trees in the
two towns were covered with ise
while in Athens the snow was
meltiing.
- The informant said it seemed
strange that the rain was freez
ing on trees so mnear here but not
in Athens.
| Rabbit Runs Under
!Snow Over 100 Yards
! A Clarke county man in Athens
Monday related how a rabbit ran
over 100 yards under the snow
Saturday when it had been trapped
in a box by his son and was re
leased for fun. .
According to the man the littel
‘amimal started runnimg and his
feet were so short that his head
ired up in the snow but did not
‘stop as he ploughed a path under
| the surface of the snow similar to
a mole. According to the man the
rabbit stopped after it had run
about 100 yards and raised its
head out of the snow, then root
ed back under the snow and ran
in another direction and was soon
lost.

mark.
Lowlands Flooded
Lyerly reported lowlands flood
ed and water pouring two feet
deep over the main highway to
Summerville. :
Major .J. L. Wilson of Lyerly

houses getting under water, as the
town is considerderably above the
river level. Some water has back
ed up into low-lying sections of
town, but there is no water in the
main street, and no houses are
flooded.”
The Chattahoochee river was
rising Fapidly, fed by swollen
creeks, but with the rain apparent-
Hy ended, it was expected to fall
again, after reaching flood stage
at West Point.
Rome reported itg rivers at flood
itage and low-lying highways un
der water there. The Oconee at
Milledgeville, and Ocmulgee at Ma
con both were above flood stage,
flooding swamp areas. !
