j. S. READY TO ACT
ON PAL MANIFESTO
Would Negotiate on Shang'
hairs Future-Ignores World
Revolution Threat.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The manifesto issued in Shahsha
nv the Nationalist general, Pal 1suhs
Hsi, declaring that the Chinese po'
captured by the Cantonese forces was
n become a base for world revolution
against imperialism, failed 10 arouse
anv. great apprehension In ornciai
quarters in Washington.
One statement of the manifesto az
tracted attention. II was the asset 'lo''
that the new rulers OF the area eA-
pected TO negotiate win 81. :, u
novvers as to the future status OF the
aforementioned settlement at Shanghai.
Would Enter Negotiations.
The Washington Government STANDS
ready to enter such negotiations, as
was declared by Secretary Kellogg
when he proposed to the military com
manders of the principal Chinese rae
tions weeks ago that they take steps
to eliminate Shanghai from the zone
of hostilities in the civil war:
1t was stressed by Mr.. Kellogg that
the United States held no territorial
concessions in China, but that because
of the large number of Americans IN
hal there was a direct American gov
ernmental interest in the status OF
that community.
Proposal Not Replied To.
For that reason the failure of Consul
General Gauss to participate with
other foreign consuls at Shanghai IN
whatever communica tons have been
exchanged with General Pal Is not
construed as indicating that the United
States is unwilling to deal with the
de facto authorities now in posses
sion of the Shanghai area.
No reply of a definite nature was
ever received by the Washington gov
eminent to Mr.. kellogg's proposals
for elimination of Shanghai from the
war zone. The suggestion he made
as to negotiations over the status of
the settlement presupposed undoubt-
eddy that all interested Chinese fac
tons would have a voice in the pro-
ceedingS as well as all of the Western
powers concerned.

Size as Related to Self Denial.

The ardent analyst has uncovered
a new angle on the male Of the hu-
man species. which, though as yet
unconfirmed by the demon statistician,
is said to be vouched for by those
keen observers, the haberdasher and
the wholesaler that supplies him.
Their dictum is that physically big
men are, in trade parlance, Cheap"
They are not. as rule, willing to pay
high prices for extra fine articles Of
wearing apparel. Why this should
be so they are not prepared to say,
but they declare that it is so.

Carbon Monoxide Dangers.

Although warnings have been issued
repeatedly during the past several
years against the dangers Of carbon
monoxide poisoning by means of an
automobile exhaust. nothing but good
can come from the constant reminder
of the public of the perls Of the dead
~ fumes. The District Health Depart.
ment has just issued a bulletin to mo-
torists pointing out that unventilated
garages with a motor running are
The bulletin follows:
Fumes from the exhaust of an auto

poisonous and have often caused
death. The danger is due to carbon

this should be SO. The popular con-
ception is that the big fellow is usually
not only robust and good. natured, but
generous to himself as we'll as to
others. The idea that the unusually

while fallacious in many cases. is
more acceptable to general belief. I'm

Speaking Out of Turn.

From Paris Capt. Richard II. White,
naval attache at the American en-
bassy in Paris, seems to have made
bid for membership in the Speaking
Out-of- Turn Club. a society composed
OF high-ranking Army and Navy Off
GERS. Standards for admission to this
select organization are rather vague,
the chief requirement being that
candidate must say something-one
way or the other. Admiral Sims and
Col. William Mitchell are honorary
members of the organization Rear
Admiral Magruder qualified for en-
trance by stating that the Navy was
carrying too much overhead and
spending too much money without re-
suits, while Maj. Gen. Summeral, the
chief of staff. criticized the nature of
the shacks in which the American
Army is housed. There IS still some
uncertainty about what Capt. White
said, but the general tenor Of his re-
marks seems to have been that the
American Navy should be second to
none and that there will be no ques-
tion about who wins the next war
Capt. Whites application for member
ship. as it were, is now being studied
by the board of governors.
Speaking at an American Thanks
giving dinner in Paris, Capt. White
evidently chose to voice his opinions
about the strength, present and fu-
ture, Of the American Navy at time
when a similar discussion regarding
the British Navy was in progress
few miles away across the Channel.
The nature of this discussion in the
British House of Commons did not
concern the question so much of who
would win the next war as it did the
problem of who won the naval limita-

is no analogy between the two cases,
and it is stupid, as Senator Glass says,
to try to draw forced resemblance"
Nevertheless, the Syracuse Herald
insists that ''it is against one of the
most solemn dicta of the Constitution
that Senator Glass asserts the optional
right of the South to disregard it,:
and such papers as the Detroit News,
the Worcester Telegram and Manches-
ter Union take the position that Sena.
tor Glass argument is unsound. The
Detroit News also refers to the fail
ure of Congress to reapportion is null
lification Of constitutional provision.
The New York World, which gave
publicity to the original attacks upon
the position of Senator Glass, says:
"Virginia. having been forbidden to
deny negroes the vote because they
are negroes. nevertheless denies me-
groes the vote because they cannot
pass a literacy test so designed and
so administered that it disfranchises
the negroes"
"The power to determine qualifica-
tions of the suffrage" according to
the Birmingham News, 'is lodged
constitutionally with the States, act
ing in conformity with or at least
law. AS the things has worked out,
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend.
ments have ceased to operate
with the rigid effectiveness that
their sponsors imagined they would
operate. The fact that the
Southern States have contrived-le-
gally, to be sure-to outwit political
marplots of the Thad Stevens stripe
proves that these two amendments
affecting the negro race in the South
have in no small measure been de-
leted to their original purpose.
Under the sanction of the South's
laWS-enacted, let it be borne in mind,
by each sovereign State and validated
by the Supreme Court of the United
States-the negro voter has been dis
couraged from voting, and even from
attempting to vote. For this
reason, the Birmingham News is in
clined to think that it does not lie in
the mouths of eminent Americans of
the South. like the Hon. William Gibbs
McAdoo, to find fault with his coun-
trymen of New York, Maryland and
Montana because Americans there
have striven to take the teeth out of
the eighteenth amendment there"
Against arguments of this type the
Asheville Times holds that "if it can
be shown that prohibition is producing
results anywhere that are compara-
BILE to the social and political demor.
alization that reigned in the South in
reconstruction days. then the prohibi-
ton minority would be justified in
multiplying the eighteenth amend.
ment." The Times sees no such par.
allel. The Roanoke World News, de.
Tending the constitutional provisions
of various Southern States, concludes:
''Since the large invasion of aliens,
without background of self govern
ment, some States not in the South
have adopted literacy tests as a pre-
requisite of voting, and others are
planning to do so. The Massachusetts
and Virginia laws in this respect are
said not to be unlike"
