standing example, but no different from
other European centers in which in
ternatlonal meetings are held. Whether
these meetings nave to do with labor.
science, industry, peace or what not,
Japan is represented in force. During
the League Assembly in Geneva that
city, and, in fact, all Switzerland, was
figuratively inundated with Japanese.
The conclusion is easily drawn that
they were not in the little republic
for the fresh air, the lakes or the
mountains. Nor were they especially
interested in the problems of the
makes them smile; white slavery,
which means little to Japan, or the
questions of Silesia, wilma, Albania,
to which they are utterly Indifferent.
There were forty Japanese in the
League of Nations and sixty more
arrived for the International Congress
of Labor which convened this month.
Seldom do the Japanese take any
considerable part in any discussion.
But they know-as in the case Of the
League Council and Assembly-how, on
occasions, to help out various large
powers. The Japanese is a powerful
worker, and in Geneva, at least, he
held the record for the reports sent to
his government.
The Japanese are very reserved when
it comes to expressing their national
desires verbally, but such is not the
case when it arrives at making these
aims known in pamphlets. Japan is
carrying on prodigious propaganda
by the brochure route in Europe. 1t
makes Europeans and the visitors in
Europe know the world power of the
Japanese better.
All the important people attending
the League of Nations in Geneva were
flooded by pamphlets written by the
Japanese. Many of these pamphlets
are printed in Paris at Rue des
Grand Augustns, others at Berne. They
are printed in many languages, and no
matter in what tongue, they are force
full in argument and letter perfect in
spelling and grammar. The aim OF this
propaganda is threefold:
/. Japan maintains that Japan is a
pacific country and that in the event
of hostilities with any nation the in
itiative and fault will lie with the op-
posing power.
2. The brochures maintain that Jap
an has desperate need of outlets for
her surplus population, and that these
outlets are to marked degree barred
by the attitude of the United States,
thereby forcing a country which has
birth rate of million year to suffer
serious economic consequences due to
lack of space and restricted territory.
8. The pamphlets point out that the
Japanese are highly civilized from
political, social and intellectual points
of view, and that it is not right to ex-
clude them from certain countries.
Go anywhere in Europe to-day, and
your travelling companion or your CO.
tourist is an amiable little Japanese.
He is sometimes alone and sometimes
in groups. He speaks when spoken to
and eternally smiles. He is dignifed
and immaculate. His habits are with
out reproach. He will discuss the
weather in many languages. Know him
we'll enough. and he will hand you .

Japan's Open
Mind Raises
Farley Hopes

iect with Secretary of the Navy Denby.
1t is understood, however, that in this
conference, as in previous talks, the
American delegates will discuss many
broad phases Of the conference issues.
1t is not to be overlooked that, after
all, the actual limiting Of naval arma-
n,ents will become IN certain sense a
detail if the questions leading up to
that can be settled satisfactorily
One of the subjects the American
delegates will have to consider sooner
or later is the Notifications in the
Pacific. According to various reports,
Japan is disposed to ask that this ma
tion halt fortihcation in the Pacific
islands. If this question is pressed to
the front, it will no doubt develop a
sharp difference of American military
and naval opinion, since it is we'll
known that some American army and
navy officers are skeptical Of the real
value of these Notifications and feel
that in the last analysis American
power in the Pacific must rest with her
fleet, plus submarines and aircraft.

Juvenile Courts.
Rutland Ncws.)

More than $4,000 children were
brought before courts in the United States
in the past year. OF these 10000 came
before courts not adapted to handling
children's cases. Although every state
except one had laws providing for juvenile
probation, less than half the courts hear
ing children's eases actually had probation
service.
The majority of the courts failed to
make adequate investigation of the child $
home and family circumstances. his ply
steal and mental condition, and his per-
sonal tendencies.
Especially in small towns and rural dis
trictS the child is still subject to the I'M
soclallzed treatment, which the Juvenile
court was designed to replace.
However. certain important tendencies
are noted in juvenile court work. The in
telligent methods worked out by the best
courts are being adopted by others Fa-
cilities for mental and physical examina-
tiOns are being extended Cooperation
between the courts and other social
agencies has been increasing. and i'm some
instances social agencies have given the
services Of trained social workers for pro-
baton work.
In Vermont the coordination is being
slowly but well worked out. although there
is still room for vast Improvement.
4 further development is indicated i'm
the tendency to merge the cases of chill
dern with those of their families. and to
try them before family or domestic
relations courts In this way the child
is dealt with as n member of his family
and all the family circumstances are
taken into account.

and We're encouraged to spend 100000,

about the state until it was practically

iStration was unnecessary and conse-

In the meantime the states lawmakers
are getting down to Vermont dollars and
applying sound financial sense to the
proposition of lump sum as a salary
for members. Some of the members
have objected that they did not want to
be put in the position of raising their
own salaries by voting for salary of
$500. II has been figured. however, that
the average pay of recent Legislators on
the per diem basis has been S4o0 for the
session. If the legislature, were to vote
to fix the salary of members at $500
they would not be increasing their com

Blocking Progress.
Rutland News.)

The first forward looking measure intro
duced i'm the legislature this session has
been virtually killed by an adverse report
of the committee which was considering
the matter. 1t is the measure which
would allow the banks of Vermont to fol
low the natural laws Of supply and de
mand in the matter of interest rates on
money loaned.
1t takes money to build industries and
to improve and stock the farms. If the
banks can only get q per cent for money
loaned in Vermont and s and q per cent
for money loaned elsewhere on lust as
good security the banks are going to do
just what an individual would do under
similar circumstances. They are going to
lend their money where the greatest profit
compatible with safety is and that is
what they are doing for the most part il
is what they will continue to do. and it is
the practice which, more than any other
one factor. is holding Vermont back.
Money is as much commodity as
sugar If the legislature passed law
that sugar could not be sold in Vermont
at more than three cents a pound we
should all become lawbreakers or go to
New York or Boston to get sugar.
Now that this important measure is
brushed aside. the discussions on the size
of peach baskets can 90 along uninter-
ruptedly.

Editorial Junket Proposed.

Several newspapers. apparently with
out giving the subject much thought, have
delivered themselves of the usual biennial
roar about legislative iunketS taking the
position that visits of legislative commit
tees to state institutions are mostly in the
nature of ''joy-ridTs, not at all necessary
to Legislative progress. The answer Is
merely this;
If the editors of such newspapers were
responsible for voting money for projects
running into hundreds of thousands OF
dollars il their colleagues tdirectorSb had
chosen them to look into and report on the
propTicty an dRecessity of spending so
much money and If their constituents
tstockholdersl had charged them with the
grave responsibility of seeing that such
moneys were honestly and judiciously
spent. would they take some ones word
for it or would they look into the matter
personally and report accordingly?
it may be true as one wise editor states,
that the director of state institutions Is
fully competent to say what should or
should not be done i'm reference to his de-
partment. but The Herald submits in all
candor and with full appreciation OF the
value of Judge WeekSS recommendations
that ne would b cthe last man to ask a
legislative committee To take his word for
conditions and needs in such institutions.
He and every other conscientious state ser
want would prefer that such committees
should get their knowledge tirst-hand.
While on this subject, it would be worth
any taxpayers time. trouble and expense
to visit all of these state institutions and
see Tor himself what is being done with
his money. Certainly no newspaper editor
can comment intelligentiy on conditions
in state institutions if all he has to go on
is hearSay evidence.
If one writer had his way. he would
round up every editor in the state. some
time next summer. and hustle them around
the circle to Waterbury, Windsor, Yer
gcnnes. Brandon and if possible Randolph,
Johnson aud CaStleton. so that they would
for once see things as they are and be
qualified to comment on conditions as
they found them.
In fact. the Vermont Press association
could not do its members a better service
than by making such tour a part of the
midsummer meeting. We should hear less
of useless junkets'' and Legislative joy
