Let Old Die
SdUe Child

BOSTON, Jan. 17.-"Let the useless
starve, let the unfit die. Charity is a
disgrace"
This is the keynote of lecture by
D. w. S. Porter before the Harvard
medical school today. DIR. Porter quail
flied his statement by saying that he
was speaking as a scientist, not as
humanitarian" The lecturer declared
mote the health of children with the

is not enough funds for both.

JOHN GROVER. Observe
THINGS ARE AS THEY ARE IN
THE EAST.

1t is necessary to recognize anG
deal with things as they are in the
tar east instead of things as they used
t. be and as we should like to have
ihem still. The government of the
United States seems slow to realize
the profound changes made i'll Asiatic
politics and diplomacy by the eXpul-
sion of Russia from Manchuria by ia
pan.
our diplomacy tries to proceed on
the lines of that of Secretary Hay
in the face of changes in the situation
whose bearing Secretary Hay would
have been the first to recognize. Many
think that this is because the diploma
cy of Secretary Knox substitutes for
the insight and imagination of Secre-
tary Hay something of the cunning of
the money lender and the limited out
look of the trader. 1t is certain that
lis diplomacy has been conducted in
desc and continual touch with the
great financial interests which want to
profit by lending money TO China for
building railroads, exploiting mines
and developing industries.
In the time of Hay this was the
Lest way to aid in the awakening of
China 1t was an incident in his open
door policy, though a subordinate one.
With China secured against western
aggression by the rose of Japanese
world power. and with western free
Gem of trade guaranteed by a whole
network of treaties we believe that
Secretary Hay would be content to let
American commerce takes its chances
in China with both European and
Japanese. without forcing loans and
American high finance upon China in
the teeth of Japan.
AS near as one can come to under
standing the Crane mystery, this was
the key to his policy as minister and
the spirit of the broad interests of
American commerce and industry he
was chosen to represent. Later de-
velopments seem to support the the
cry that great banking interests in
Wall street and highly protected man.

AWAITING DECISION IN
SCHOOL GRADE RUMPUS
Wilmington Residents Suspend
Activity Pending Education
Boards Ruling

Residents of Wilmington are anx-
iously awaiting the decision Of the
county board of education relative to
the discontinuance of high school
classes in Wilmington. Yesterday af-
ternoon protests were received by the
building committee of the board from
the Wilmington chamber of commerce
and citizens from that town who do
not wish the discontinuance Of the
high school grades.
The people of Wilmington are op-
posed to the proposed arrangement of
the board of education whereby 1t is
intended to incorporate the Whining
ton high school grades with the San
Pedro high school. Due to the con-
solidation of Wilmington with Los
Angeles, the Union high school district
in Wilmington, which was caring for
small high school, was discontinued
and in accordance with the state law,
Cerritos, the other part of the districtti
took over the entire school property
of the union district. There was less
than a score of Wilmington high school
pupils at the close of the term and
the Wilmington high school was dis
continued, the board of education be-
ing unable to establish a new high
school for them.
1t is stated that there has been con-
siderable rivalry between Wilmington
and San Pedro, therefore the Whining
ton people do not wish to have their
school permanently discontinued and
their students made to seek their edu-
cation in the rival town.
The matter will be decided at the
meeting of the board to be held Mon
day, August 1.
