Japan's New Threat

Japan is pursuing bold and dangerous course
in China Her latest maneuvers can not fail further
to ami agonze the Chinese people, and to turn world
opinion against her.
Baron Tanaka, author Of the aggressive policy Of
Japan toward China bluntly has informed the nation
alist government that Toxic will not permit abroga-
ton of the Chinese-Japanese commercial treaties
Marking has served notice that the treaties were can
ceed
Toxic stated that unless the nationalist change
their attitude toward Japanese interests in China the
Japanese government may be obliged to take such
measures as it deems suitable for safeguarding Of
the rights and interests assured by the treaties"
This is nothing less than an ultinatum
threatening war.
There may perhaps be some justification for
Japan's refusal to permit summary action by Nam
king for her interests in China many and varied,
and her nationals numerous. Markings contention
that the treaties are invalid because forced China
is none the less tenable.
1t will be more difficult, however, for Japan to
Justify the position she has assumed with regard to
the rich territory of Manchuria.
The Marking government was reported to have
negotiated an agreement with the Manchurian gov
eminent in furtherance Of the plan to accomplish the
unifacation of the country. Manchuria was to re-
tain control of local affairs but Marking to
handle foreign relations; Manchuria to accept
the principles of SunYat-Sen founder Of the party,
and the nationalist flag was to be hoised in Mukden
the capital.
Japan stepped in. She warned the Manchurian
government, that the contemplated agreement could
not be carried out.
Thus China is not to be master of her own house
Manchura is an integral part of China. 1t contains
250O0O0O people, is rich in resources, and is largely
undeveloped.
Japan will seek to justify her position by saying
that her ownership of the South Manchurian Railway
her lease" of the Kwantung peninsula her extensive
commercial interests, her independence on Man
churian raw materials and the presence Of her citizens
make it necessary for her to keep the Nationalist out
The fact will remain, however, that she again has
demonstrated that she regards Manchura as her own
and the belief will be strengthened that she will seek
to swallow Manchura she did Korea when the time
is opportune.
The nine-power Washington treaty pledged its
signatores which included Japan, to respect the
sovereignty the independence and the territorial and
administrative integrity of China"
It will be exceedingly difficult for Japan to
square her present attitude with that treaty.

A Useful Citizen

This city owes more than passing debt of
memory to Bernard O'Connor, carried today
to his final resting place.
In making list of those who have con-
tributed to its welfare, the name of this useful
citizen should find place very near the top.
For it was he, with his hatred of fraud and
the anarchy that comes from corruption of the
ballot, who made frauds unpopular and I'M
safe.
AS foreman of grand jury, he received
an intimate vision Of the workings of the
ballot thieves and knew that through such
frauds come all the evils of misgovernment.
He hated the practices as treason to the
government and set about to study the methods
and the means whereby the will of the cleo
torate is set at naught by the political
chimes
TO him fraud was fraud, whether it came
from members of his own political faith or from
those with whom he differed politically.
He had the courage and the conviction that
rises above personal advantage or personal in
terest. He knew something of the sacrifice that
must be made by those who give themselves to
the cause of fighting corruption-and he did
not falter.

Scuttling Our Ships

Senator Fletcher of Florida, conservative member
Of the national upper house. says he has information
from private sources abroad that German and Brit
ish shipping interests planning to buy the United
States lines and the American Merchant lines when
the United States shipping board offers them for sale,
it proposes to do soon.
The Senator's private information may or may not
turn out to be correct But there can be dsputing
the soundness of his suggestion to the shipping board
1.-THE shipping board" he says, Ought to stop this
foolishness and cease advertising ships for SALE The
board has done everything it could to induce private
enterprise to take hold of shipping There is nothing
left but to go on and operate the ships"
The Administration, however, seems determined
to give away the ships the people paid for if not to
American private shipping interests perhaps to for
eign private interests.
If half the ingenuity and energy that has been
used in efforts to destroy American merchant
rine had been devoted to building it up it is safe
guess that we might now have merchant marine to
be proud of. That, Of course would be serving the
interests of the country as whole rather than any
special interest.
If, however, the Administration is bound to serve
some special interest why not the facilities of the
shipping board to serve the farmers? Provide very
special low rates for carrying farm surplus to for
eign markets, for instance

What Gain Nicaragua

Before we get too excited over
why Japan is in Manchuria, let us
ask ourselves why we are in Mica
ragua. Measured by morals, she
probably has done as much for the
Manchurians as we have for the
Nicaraguans, and measured in a
material way she probably has done
more.
Putting that aside, she knows
what she wants and makes no bones
about it, while we seem far less
certain.
What is even more humiliating,
she seems to be getting it with less
expense not only on her own ac-
count, but on the account of the
people whose affairs she has under
taken to manage.
We have spent a couple of mil
lion, lost twenty Marines and killed
at least 215 Nicaraguans according
to official report. What have we
gained to show for the money, not
to mention the life, or if that is
too much of a poser, what have the
Nicaraguans gained?
The Nicaraguans do not appear
to know, and neither does anyone
else, which, after all, reveals the
real difference between our foreign
policy and that of Japan. Not only
is Japan aware Of what she risks
and what there is at stake, but so
is Mancfluria, China and all other
parties concerned.

may be overcome by eating birds
liver, cooked or raw, rabbits liver,
Gods liver, and cod liver oil.
All these substances contain vita

Strangely enough the natives
have the custom Of steaming the
sore eyes over the cooking liver,
which is then eaten.
French surgeons, as long ago as
811, described a similar method Of
treatment for sailors with night
blindness. Most of the cases of
night blindness clear up in few
days after a few meals of liver.

Ackroyd is an important commen-
tary on the manner in which our
newer knowledge of vitamin de-
ficiency is being applied to human
kind for many serious conditions
whose prevention previously was
not known.

Politics and the Muses.

Naturally we expect to have lot of bunk dinned
into our ears between now and November.
1t happens every four years and we are more or
less used to it. We accept the yawping of the
politicians which will grow louder and more eXtrava-
CANT until the votes are counted for what it is and
let it go at that. We bear the predictions and
maledictons, the viewing with alarm and pointing
with pride
But we have complaint to register with Chair
man Hubert Work. He has gone out and enlisted
astrologers and song writers as aides.
1t is well enough to stick to the tine-honored de-
vices but when he turns to stars and music it is too
much. Urania and Euterpe have no place in such a
mundane business politics.
A Jersey star gazer has scanned the heavens and
records that the auspices favor the Republican can
didate-he is "a man of destiny of course.
The author of "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-a-ay," we are
solemny informed by the Republican committee. has
climbed on the Hoover bandwagon," and to sgnalze
this, has written song
1t contains lines of such lyrical beauty as these:
Johnnie get your vote, get your VOTE get your voe
Johnnie make note make a note, make motel
Vote for Hoover, good old scout
To move in when Cal moves out!"
The chorus winds up:
"TeL the cock-eyed world we'll put Hoover there!"
Really, something should be done about this-and
we don't mean something pleasant.

Paw of Textile Workers

The current issue of the American Federationist
gives some figures which perhaps show why $4,000
textile workers in New England, who have been on
strike for seventeen weeks SO determined not to
accept 10 per cent reduction in wages.
Wages OF textile workers at best have always been
low says the Federationist. In 1899 the average
yearly wage of textile worker about $685., while
the automobile industry paid about $780, and the
iron and steel industry about $545.
In 1919 the textile worker got an average of about
$780, compared with wage of 81 43o in the automo-
bile industry and O5 in the iron and steel industry
Today the average pay of textile worker is $1025
an automobile worker $685. and iron and steel
worker 81, 600.
Small wonder the strikers are sticking it out
thousand and twenty-five dollars, minus 10 per cent,
is hardly living wage in this day and age.

ANYTHING Can HAPPEN

Because Of the 5000 miles that
intervene, we are apt to regard
Croate aspirations, or even those Of
Yugo-Slavia as not worth worry
ing about, but they represent the
same kind of explosive material as
led to the assassination of Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand and re-
suited in the World War.
For 500 years and more Europe
has looked upon the Balkans as a
chronic seat of trouble. That ira
ditional attitude, if nothing else, is
enough to make them so. Italy,
France, fragments of the old Aus
trian empire. Germany, and even
Great Britain, all have fingers in
this stew.
Oil, trade routes and special privi-
leges make the game worth playing.
If Yugo-Slavia gets into serious
trouble anything can happen.

The museums of the world contain large number

Ptolemy V dedicated temple to him. Later large
temple was dedicated to him near Memphis.
Egypt became the first great center of civilization
in the world We should expect therefore to find the
beginnings of the practice of medicine in Egypt.
But these beginnings were crude The Egyptians
believed that disease was caused by evil spirits.
Consequently their practice of medicine mixed
with the practice of magic. At first medicine was
pracced by the priests and it is not until almost the
end Of Egyptian history that the physician took his
place as specialized member of society.

West leads the Of spades. Sub
tracing seven from eleven, the de-
clarer learns that four cards higher
than the 7 Of spades are held in
the dummy casts hand and his
own hand.
The dummy holds A K J Of spades
and the declarer holds 9 Of spades
Declarer knows, therefore, that the
Of spades can take the trick and
there is no necessity Of sacrificing
a higher card in the dummy.
He knows that west holds the
Queen of spadSs and by leading the
4 of spades and flnessing the Jack
of spades, he can win four tricks in
the spade suit
The foregoing examples Of the
applicability of the rule Of eleven
were at no trump play.
The assumption made in each in
stance is that west leads the fourth
card from the top in his longest
and strongest suit, unless east has
bid the suit. If an honor is led, the
rule is not binding.
The player who leads may hold
four or five cards in that suit and
there are times when the exact
number may be determined.
If the 2 is led, you know that he
holds only four cards. If the is
led and the 2 is in the dummy OK
in your hand you know that west
holds only four cards.
At trumps play, the rule Of eleven
may also be of assistance to you.
The expert recognizes its applica-
ton and it gives him an added adj
vantage over the novice The fol-
lowing example is most interesting

There should be four cards higher

hand. Dummy and the declarer
hold four cards higher than the Z
Of diamonds-they hold among
others A K of diamonds.
The four missing cards are Q ]
10 Z of diamonds. But the of dia-
monds is not the fourth from the
top because no player would lead
it when holding a series of three
touching honors.
Therefore the of diamonds must
be a singleton or a lead from a
short suit. Dummy should take with
the King of diamonds to prevent

Japan Yields Stick

Somewhat more than thirty years
ago, little wiry Japan gave big fat
China a good trouncing. The re-
suit was a treaty which provided,
among other things, that Japan
should enjoy special privileges in
Manchuria. Taking quick advantage
Of those special privileges, Japan
invested money, developed coal and
iron mines, built railroads and OBJ
tanned a much needed supply of
raw material.
The new Nationalist government
Of China no sooner climbs into
power than it undertakes to
abrogate the treaty. Japan says
that this is both contrary to pro-
visions of the treaty, and repre-
sents an outrageous breech of in
ternational good faith, and that If
the Nationalist government Of
China persists, she will take such
action as is necessary to protect
her rights and property.
Here is another opportunity Tor
our world savers to weep over
China. Some of them already have
produced their handkerchiefs.
Japan's note does sound rather
severe and arbitrary until one re-
calls some that England has writ
ten to Egypt, France to Morocco
and our own Government to Mex
leo and other Latin American
countries.
White civilization constantly is
defending it's right to interfere with
and exploit weaker peoples on the
ground that tits not only purifying
their souls, but making them pros
porous. It seems as though Japan
might advance similar reasons for
her course.
