Western Hold on China Faces Break,
With Britain TO Be Greatest Loser

we could go beyond that is open to
question.
In the present situation of Europe,
however, it is at least doubtful
whether any long-continued operation
could be carried on without our par
tiopation or any viable adjustment
be obtained by force. BY contrast 1t
seems mistake to think of the prob
lem as Chinese alone. The whole po-
sition of European powers, of Britain
in India as well as China, of. France
in Indo-China and Syria, the situation
of the Dutch in the East Indies, is
within limits affected. Retirement
from China may well prove not the
last but the first retreat of Europe
from Asia, or at least the second, fol-
lowing Chanak perfectly logically.

press Of the world has been filled with
more or less vague descriptions of the
revolt of the East. Nearly all of these
reports have had the vice of compar-
ing Chinese and Asiatic conditions too
closely to European and American and
drawing conclusions from parallels
which. however appealing on paper,
bear little resemblance to reality.
Yet it is manifest that there has
been and continues to be disturbance
in Asia which tends to become more
and more definitely anti-European and
more and more seems to follow the
conception of Asia for the ASiatics.
Several years ago this movement in
India seemed to have become irresiSt-
ible and British retirement became a
topic of general discussion. In the
end the British rode out the storm.
Their situation for two or three years
has improved on the surface. But it
is hard to believe that it has been
permanently consolidated.
Today, ignominious retreat in China
could not fail to reawaken extremist
activity in India. But, on the other
hand, the use of force, the arrival of
war, the presence of American and
other European forces beside the Brit
ish. might have an equally strong
challenge to Asiatic populations. And
at bottom the difficulty lies in the fact
that no decisive victory seems possible
in the premises.
Aggressive War Costly.
European troops could certainly
hold bits OF Chinese territory indefi-
nitely. Enough troops might be gath
cred to break any single Chinese army,
but no country in the world, save the
United States, could possibly finance
a large struggle, which In the nature
of things could bring no Immediately
considerable financial returns. And
the public sentiment of no European
country would long support such a
costly undertaking.
Thus, in the last analysis, the Chi
nese situation is no more than one
more demonstration of the extent of
the disaster to Europe incident to the
World War. Europe is today COM
paratively impotent because it is APP
proximately exhausted. And this,
after all, was the explanation which
underlay the ultimate retirement of
the Roman legions sfrom the Rhine
and the Danube.
The barbarian hordes which flowed
into the Roman world were not on
the whole more coherent or more or
ganized that the Chinese masses to-
day. The movement was rather in
stinctive than ordered. Similar waves
had undoubtedly beaten against the
scientific frontiers of the empire for
several centuries. What had changed
was within and not without. And,
measureably, that is what has hap
pened in the Western World today.
If the United States chooses, with
it's immense resources and great popu-
lation, to play an imperial role in the
East, or anywhere else, 1t can do it.
The European position in Asia would
at the least be enormously fortified IL
we appeared to share in operations to
break the present Chinese revolution
and restore order even in the treaty
norts and at the coast. How far even

Hindu Women Discard
Custom-Imposed Wells

Possibly inspired by the feminine
revolt in Turkey a group of Moslem
women in south India have decided to
discard the traditional veil (purdah)
imposed upon them by custom and
religion.
The wife of the prime minister of
Mysore presided at a meeting at
which more than 1000 women agreed
to abolish the old restrictions. She
challenged the orthodox religious au-
Koran anything enjoining the wear
ing Of the veil
This the religious teachers could
not do; and as a result no wells will
henceforward be worn in Mysore.

TON OF THE MOVIES FOR
CLASS PRESENTATION EARLY
NEXT MONTH.

May 18th is the date chosen by the
Senior Class of the Redwood Falls
high school for their class play and
Merton Of the Movies" is the play
to be presented. This is one of the
most widely popular of the modern
plays and is a four act comedy by
George Kaufman and Marc Connolly.
1t was produced the first time at the
Cort Theatre in New York in 1922
and has only very recently been made
available for amateur production.
Miss Atcherson is coaching the cast
of twenty young people who viii put
on this play. The play is especially
adapted to a young cast since it is
a stirring story of American youth
as well as an interesting commentary
on motion pictures and an Intensely
human study of character. The New
York Times says of 1t, i"By III ODDS

ers of the County.

County Club Women
MAY Haze Candidate

Redwood County Club women are
hopeful that Mrs. A. H. Emerson Of
Lamberton will consent to become q
candidate for president Of the Second
District Federation of Women's Clubs.
Friends of Mrs. Emerson are planning
to submit her name for endorsement
at the Redwood County rally held
here next Saturday, trusting that fol-
lowing such endorsement Mrs. Ener-
sen will consent to let her name be
used as a candidate at the New Ulm
meeting next week. Mrs. Emerson is
at present the president of the Red
wood County Federation and the Sec
retary of the Second District Fedora
tion. Her qualities of leadership are
many and she is admirably fitted for
the office of president Of the Second
District which is one of the strong
est club districts in the state. Red
wood County has not sought this Of
flee before and leading club women
are of the opinion that this recogni-
tion should be given the county. What
Mrs. Enersen's reaction to the re-
quest of the club women may be is en-
tirely problematical. She has many
interests and many demands upon her
time and to accept the Office would be
. sscrifiee Of much time - we'll -
The expenditure of much energy.

STATE EXECUTIVE
EXERCISES VETO
ON new BILLS
CHRISTIANSON GOES THROUGH
FIVE BILLS; SINGLE ITEMS
PROVIDING EXPANSION SLASH
ED.

With liberal exercise of the ex-
ecutive veto, Governor Christianson
Monday night pared down the ap-
preparations of the forty-fifth Min
nesota Legislature to $40,629, ,834.2s
This is $14,41893 less than the
amount he approved two years ago,
and puts into effect the economy pro-
gram for which he struggled through
out the entire session of the assem-
bly, which adjourned Thursday.
He went through the five main
appropriation bills, which the Legis-
lature sent to him carrying $42,
278.38 for maintenance and expansion
of state institutions, and by selec-
tive process vetoed number of sim
gle items which provided mainly for
expansion he considered ill-advised
at this time.
Prior to attacking the appropria-
ton bills, the Governor appointed in
terim committees to study state prob
lens for the guidance of the 1929
session.
These included a joint Legislative
committee to study reforestation and
another to study banking laws. House
interim committees to investigate loan
shark legislation and local problems
arising from public Indebtedness also
were approved.
Cuts ranged from items of $100z to
$2OO,0O0. Signing of the fishing Ii
cense bill, which is expected to bring
in more than 100000, resulted in the
trimming of fish and game depart
mental items totaling $4,000.
Virtually every item cut affecting
state departments was done so with
approval of their chiefs, gained in
last minute conference.
AS finally approved after more than
Is hours of continuous labor, broken
only by short lunch periods, the edu-
cational bill carries $50, 1895, ,741.45,
the board of control bill, $8I61 800,
the state department bill, $780, 6,092.-

alton bill, $1,951 sos, and the claims
bill, $79,910.7O.
Other miscellaneous bills signed

WALTON LEAGUE
TO SPONSOR HUNT
LOCAL CHAPTER OF IZAAK WAL
TON LEAGUE INVITE ALL
SPORTSMEN TO PARTICIPATE
y IN CROW HUNT MAY 1 AND 2.

On May 1st and End the Redwood
Fails Chapter of the Izaak Walton
League of America will sponsor the
first of series of crow hunts. Plans
are being made to make this hunt
worth while and to get every sports
man in the community to participate.
Membership in the Izaak Walton
League is not necessary for the
sportsman to take part in the crow
hunt. The hunt is being sponsored by
the League to rid the community, in
part at least, of one of the worst
enemies with which the game bird
has to contend. It is especially i'm
portant that as many crows be killed
as possible because of the nesting
season of the prairie chicken and
pheasant which will soon be at hand.
During this season great damage is
done to the nests and eggs of the
game birds by the crows.
1t is the plan Of the League to have
two teams under captains and to make
the hunt two-day affair so that as
many sportsmen as possible will be
able to get away for at least one day.
The losing team is to give the winners
banquet sometime after the hunt.
Three prizes will be awarded to the
individuals bringing in the greatest
number of crows. The first prize to
be offered will be a Model 1897 Win
chester Repeating shot gun. For the
second number of birds killed by an
individual, a fishing rod will be CIV

OPENING SATURDAY
MIKE AND JOE INVITE THE PUB
Lie TO ATTEND 21ST OPENING
SATURDAY, APRIL 3OTH. MU-
SIC BY DREAM ORCHESTRA.

Twenty-one years ago last January
Mike and Joe purchased the confec-
tionery store of Knowlton Bros. In
the twenty-one years that the Lauter-
bachs have been in business in Red
wood Falls they have watched their
business grow from just an ordinary
candy store to one of the most modern
and up-to-date places of its kind in
Minnesota.
Early in 1907, the first year in busi-
ness, their place was located in the
building now used by the Model Meat
Market. In 1912 the south half Of
the Jaehning Hardware was rented
and new equipment added. Mike and
Joe worked up business between the
years of 1912 and 1919 that demand
ed new, larger and more modern
quarters so that in 1919 their present
quarters were built. Last season
there was added a new complete Frig-
idaire system that insures the right
for all carbonated drinks,
ice cream and ices.
Saturday, April 30th, is the date
set by Mike and Joe for the annual
opening of their ice cream season,
their twenty-first anniversary. On
this date beginning at two o'clock p.
m. there win be music by Andy Kin
ney and his Dream Orchestra, flow
ers for the ladies and a surprise for
the kiddies. The music will continue
throughout the afternoon and even
ing until HOO O'Clock. The public il
cordially invited TO- sttend this gala
