THIS country is likely to wake
up some morning soon and find
that what might become its
greatest assurance of peace
and insurance against war has been
snatched away during night of paci-
fist and no defense chatter.
Industries of four nations-Iapan.
France, Italy and Germany-now are
seeking aviation concessions in Cen
trail America, which, army and navy
chiefs declare. would leave the Panama
canal defenseless in time of war
against the nation controlling the air
to the south of 1t. Without the canal
the problems of west coast defense
would be almost unsolvable.
Thus, though 1t sounds grotesque at
first to say our national safety hinges
in part on development of Central
Americas aviation, that is what mill
tary men who have studied the ques-
tion maintain. They are convinced
that II this country will extend Its air
mail to Central America and help the
nations there develop air possibilities
these three birds would be killed with
one stone:
It would be impossible for any ma
ton successfully to attack the canal
from the air because our peace time
aviation development would give us air
bases aad an air industry quickly con-
vsrtibls to war needs.

\ A ASANAO HANIHARA, the
MI japanese ambassador. whose
Nv note on japanese immigration
stirred up trouble, has al

round-faced and rosy-cheeked, went to
Washington first in 1901, when he was
twenty-five years old, rs one of the
secretaries of the Japanese embassy
and almost Immediately became prob
ably the best liked oriental who ever
lived in the city. He speaks fiawless
English and also has thorough un-
derstanding of American idioms and
slang, using both with telling effect
when the occasion seems to warrant 1t.
He is highly educated, voraciOus
reader and has marvellous memory
for facts and faces. In addition he
Is one of the most suavely polite men
in the capital, has captivating smile,
Is quick at repartee, plays good
game of poker and is at home and
welcome in any social gathering.
The newspaper men like Hanihara.
He was a reporter for time on a
Tokyo newspaper before he entered
the diplomatic service and he under
stands why reporters ask the ques-
tions they do and write as they do.
Consequently he talks frankly to them

mitted there were no laws today un-

The bill Is intended to prevent the

any way Of propaganda advocating the
overthrow of the government by vio-
lence or opposition by violence to any
law of the United States. 1t Is con-
tended that under these provisions
advocating the forcible resistance to

crime. A statement from Mcleod said !:

chance, of lifting burdens that weigh
most heavily upon the poor. A
fair inquiry is, then, the extent to
which the reductions proposed do
nure to the benefit of the people.
How widely will they be distrib-
uted and i'll what proportion are
the, remissions to the several
abilities of the benehciaries to pay?
An examination of the table pre-
pared by the Government Actuary
to show the estimated results of
the proposed revision discloses
that the income taxes of 13.l24,6 900
individuals with incomes of $1,000
to $4,000 will be reduced by
$92,7s0,000 during the year 1925.
The Government will take another
loss of $50, 100000 on the income
taxes of $4,000 individuals whose
incomes range from 10000 to
$4,000 a year. In other words
more than 65 per cent. of the relief
from income taxes which it is pro-
posed to grant will be enjoyed by
individuals with incomes Of $4,000
or less who will constitute more
than 90 per cent Of all the indi-
vidual income tax payers. Accord
ing to these estimates income
taxes to the amount of So, 2S5 900

interesting feature with the open
