A WILSON BIRTHPLACE
MEMORIAL

A committee is now being formed
"for the purpose Of creating a suit
able birthplace memorial to Wood
row Wilson, 2Sth President Of the
United States of America, who was
born at Staunton, Virginia, Decem-
ber %, 1865" A popular appeal for
funds necessary to carry out this
project is to be made during the
months of October and November.
The response to appeals for memoir
ials are noticeably not as generous
as might we'll be wished. The pur-
chase of Jefferson's home, Month
cello, has been unduly delayed for
that reason, and this is by no means
solitary instance. The response
for the Wilson memorial, should not
be partisan; the appeal is not. 1t Is
for a memorial to a great world fig
ure, an American great in many
ways, who bore great burden as a
representative of this country be-
fore the public eye in very trying
times.

WHAT A TRAVESTY

France recognized the communis-
tic government Of Russia. The
United States refused to do so under
existing conditions. Recognition gave
the communists more secure foot
hold in France for boring from with
in. Apparently they have not neg
lected their opportunity. The re-
suits are illuminating if not alto
gether edifying.
The premier of France addressing
the Chamber of Deputies reads tel
egram said to have been sent to the
Riffian chieftain by communist
deputy, in which the communist ex-
tended congratulations for defeat of
the Spanish and suggested attack on
the French. The deputy. Doriot,
cried out: I'VE are with Russia and
against you. We are with every ma
ton in revolt against your capital
istic civilization" However he didn't
tender his resignation as a member
of the French Chamber.
An elderly soldier of the war, also
a member of the Chamber, thereupon
srnote Doriot on the nose. We trust
the nose is yet painful.
The premier declared that If
France should withdraw from Mo-
rocco every French person in that
part of Africa would be slaughtered,
but this, We are told, would only
bring rejoicing to the Russian
regime. What travesty would be
extending the hand of international
fellowship to such!

Now let me think where I left off
in the last story. One thing I'm sure
of, the Ragged Rabbit Giant didn't
blow on his great whistle as / feared
he might. You see he lived not far
away; that is, it never seemed far to
him, for every time he took a step it
measured more than a block long.
And he was fond of the fairies. Yes,
indeed he was, and on looking out OF
his big castle on the Tiptop, Skyhigh
Mountain, he noticed Little Jack
Rabbit standing all alone in the fairy
dell.
"Ha, ha," laughed the Ragged Rab-
bit Giant. There's my little friend.
Guess I'll step down and say howdy."
and whistling very softly for his
pretty Yellow Bird, he locked the
front door with key as large as an
anchor. and strobe down the noun
tainside.
Hello, bunny boy" he exclaimed,
looking over treetop. Goodness me,
he was tall even for a giant.
"The fairies have run away" an
swered the little rabbit sadly. Il was
watching them dance when, without
thinking, it would frighten them, l
shouted Hello"

RELATIONS CLOSER
SAYS new LEADER

Tokyo. June IA. T. by Mail)-
With the recent election of General
Baron Tanaka as president of the
Seiyukai, the second largest party in
the Diet, political conditions in Japan
are dia gnosed by observers as "seeth-
ing" Cen. Tanaka, formerly minis
ter of war, succeeded Baron Taxa
hashi as head of the Seiyukai. Imme-
dtately after his election Gen. Tanaka
brought about the merging of the
kakushin Club, containing about 20
members with the Seiyukai. He then
took number of members from the
Chuseikai, another minor party, and
brought the total membership of the
Seiyukai in the Diet up to 14O. as
against a membership of 162 for the
kenseikai, the government party head
ed by Premier Kato.
The vernacular newspapers report
that Gen. Tanaka also has approached
the Seiyuhonto, the third largest party
III the Diet, with a view of bringing
its members back into the Seiyukai
fold. The Seiyuhonto party is COM
posed of members who broke away
from the Seiyukai just prior to the
accession of the Kato ministry. This
latter merger. however, apparently
has met with some opposition and it is
believed by many that Premier Kato
will be able to maintain his present
coalition ministry at least until fall
and perhaps face the next Diet. The
cabinet now has Seiyukai members in
it, but x is declared the leaders of
this party are dissatisfied with the
wi C to r,tn fl,1f,
premier in power. For the present,
though, the situation is very much
unsettled.
Baron Tanaka, in a recent news
paper interview declared that CON
tinuous efforts toward the develop
ment of close economic relations be-
tween Japan and the United States on
one hand, and China on the other, will
be the keynote of the diplomatic poll
cy of the Seiyukai." He continued:
II believe that it devolves upon the
statesmen of the various countries of
the world to fight vigorously and per-
sistently against those injurious cam
paigns which tend to increase interna-
tional complications, and lead finally
to clashes between nations and races.
With this in mind. the Seiyukai will do
its utmost to dispel the mistaken views
held in regard to the present and fu-
ture relations between Japan and
America. In this effort we hope to OBJ
tain the wholehearted sympathy and
cooperation of the American states
men and leaders.
Il AM convinced that the efforts re-
Gently maze by President Coolidge and
many other distinguished Americans
to correct the dissatisfaction felt in
Japan over the passage of the immi-
grafton law has already reacted fav-
orably on this nation and has im-
pressed our countrymen with conf
dence in the future relations between
Japan and the United States

THOSE SENATE RULES

senator Moses, arguing in the SAT-
urday Evening Post for the retention
OF the present filibustering capacity
OK the Senate, enlarges upon the de-
scriptlon Of that body as the saucer
into which the tea of legislation ,s
poured to cool. Now there never
was any good argument against cool
ing ones tea in that way but the
custom has fallen into disuse. Soma
thing like that is possible with the
Senate's antiquated rules.
by this simile the Senator would
convey tie idea that the present
rules of Ne Senate limit legislation
ana prevent that which is bad. Gen.
eral Dawes has fatty stated with
snow OF reason. that filibusterins in
creases the volume of legislation and
lmpalrs the quality. We find moth
ing In Senator Moses article to dis
prove the charge. Not that he was
destitute Of argument, however.
He did not overlook the point that
nowadays, when people look to Con.
sress Tor that which once they would
not have thought of asking, when
taxes are largely paid by a part of
the country with representation of
only twelve in the Senate, some pro-
lection for those taxpayers may be
round IN tho rules Of the Senate:
that to apply cloture would take
from them the only weapon which
they may use.

Now that France per agreement IS

Is, it is generally conceded that she
was wise in her decision to occupy
that region against the protests of
England and doubts elsewhere. So
were the stiff -necked Huns brought
face to face with reality; SO Eng
land learned that settlement must
come; SO it became possible to have
the Dawes plan accepted.
