Formulation on Farms

The total farm population, which
in the last census for the first time
was enumerated separately from the
rural population as whole and
therefore has no comparative figure
in the preceding census. amounts to
81 per cent of the rural population,
which includes residents of incor-
porated cities and villages having
fewer than $500 inhabitants, unin-
corporated hamlets, mining regions,
and other areas not devoted to
agriculture. Thus, while the rural
population constitutes nearly one
half of the country's total. only
about three tenths of it's inhabitants
are living on farms.

Japanese Architecture at Its Best
Japanese temples, almost literally
built over volcanoes, are triumph of
earth quake proof construction in
wood. They bear witness to long
missionary Journeys of BuddhiStic
teachers. The Nikko shrines were
erected in the seventeenth century,
when Japanese art was in its most
eXuberant period. In the foreground
stands the terri" which has come
to be almost symbolic Of the Shin
toism OF Nippon. Though many cX-
plantations are given of the origin
of the tori. scholars have traced a
remarkable resemblance to the gate
ways or 'torans" at Sanchi, the
Buddhist temple in India, which
were built in the first century A. D.,
about the time of the beginning of
the first great missionary movement
toward China. The famous Yomei
Gate. seen through the tori, and the
hcavy-roOfed shrincS that surround
it. are inheritances from China,
either directly or through Korea.
Japanese architecture from the first
showed more varied grace and
greater richness of detail than the
Chinese models. BY the time the
Nikko temples were constructed,
builders had departed far from the
severe dignity Of Cathay. The grace
full roofs had been exaggerated and
coarscned and burdened with huge
ridges. The wonderful carving was
almost too lavish. Delicacy had Civ
en- way to profusion and gorgeous
ness that foretold decadence.-

SCRAPPING THE NAVIES

''I guarantee, in the name Of the French Parma
ment that France will suppress her entire fleet II the
other powers will do likewise
This statement, from Gustave de herguezec, mead
of the naval committee of the French Senate is rather
startling at first blush France has been regarded
lately as very mperiastc and here she is, offering to
scrap her navy! A little consideration OF the pro
posa however, serves to discourage any notion that
the abolition of armament is at hand.
France is land power not a sea power. ohe
knows that the additionally belongs TO England
and England means to keep control Of it as far as Eur
ope is concerned, toerating equal navy for Am9r
minder eventually mastered the Roman Empire
as fixed by the Washington conference, Is only
to Engands and Americas 5. France would cheer
fully do without her little fleet if thereby she could
abolish Engands big fleet.
The French senator remarks further that in the
new armament conference which he thinks should be
called 1.-The position of submarines and airplanes
should be safeguarded" That probably means that
France which doesn't think much of battleships any
way wants of all the submarines and battle
planes she considers necessary. She is building both
types of fighting vessels now, and is strong in the
air as England on the water and seeks to hold that
commanding position.
Scrappng all the batteships in the world would
be futile unless the submarines and fighting planes
were scrapped, too

The Soviet representatives have talked much of

particularly those of alien race But all this has been
only in general terms Of real explanation backed by
concrete proof, there has been none.
The world naturally assumes, therefore, that the
alleged offenders have committed overt acts such
would make them amenable to punishment in any
other country, and that Soviet government is merely
imprisoning and killing those churchmen as represent
atives Of organized religion because they are deter
