U. S. Should Mediate in China

state of war exists between Japan and Nation
alist China
There have been many killed and wounded in the
fighting at Tsnan.
1t is estimated that $4,000 Japanese troops al
ready are in the province of Shantung front of the
Nationalist drive on Pekin, and another crack div-
sion, numbering between $4,000 and $4,000, is on
the way.
japanese warships and aircraft carriers hurry
ing to the scene and arplanes assembling, while
in China feeling against Japan is at fever pitch. The
die may be cast by major battle between Chinese
and Japanese any day.
Alone, or in conjunction with other great powers
friendly to both Sides the United States should take
energetic action to safeguard the peace of the Far
East now beyond all question, in peril.
Whether it was the Chinese or the japanese who
began the trouble at Tsinan should make little diff
ference at this time The thing is to prevent war
between China and Japan. Should such a war get
under way, other nations easily might become in
voved before it is finished.
In Washington on Feb. g. 1922 eight powers.
among them the United States and Japan, signed a
treaty solenly pledging themselves not to take ad
vantage of China's admittedly abnormal condition,
but to the contrary ITO provide the fullest and most
unenbarrassed opportunity to China to develop and
maintain for herself an effective and stable govern
ment"
Today China is fighting toward that goal While
she doing So would that the powers sigma
tories to the treaty should at least not hinder her
by getting in the way of her armies, then threaten
ing war because somebody gets hurt.
It is the duty Of the United States and the rest
of the treaty powers to use their good offices to stop
further bloodshed between China and Japan.

THROUGH made in a fit OF
4 temper, the chorused query of
the French press as to whether our
international ideals are the same
as those of Germany and whether
we favor a revision of the Versailles
Treaty comes at a psychological
moment.
With Rumania threatened by res
bellion, with England eXpelling
Prince Carol, with Japan mobiliz-
ing an army to enter China. and
with Russia entertaining conference
after conference devoted to the
spread of revolutionary ideals, the
time seems right to discuss such
topics.
In Selling the Tsingtao-Tsinan
railroad and modifying an army to
enter China, Japan has done
neither more or less than any other
nation would do under similar cir-
cumstances.
The inquiry which our State de-
partment is reported to be prepair-
ing as to whether Japan thinks this
is in accord with the Nine Power
Pact of 1924 seems superstitous.
That treaty provides that none Of
the signatories shall intervene in
China except to protect the life and
prODertV of its nationals.

Editor Times: After reading your
very able and impartial editorial in
The Times relative to a celebrated
Federal prosecution Cor rather an
attempted prosecution which has
just passed into history-"Ye Gods
and Little Fishes"
Now that Harry Sinclair has been
whitewashed by jury in the Dis
trict of Columbia, why not Mr.. Sim
clair receive the nomination for the
vice presidency of the United States
at the coming Republican National
convention?
An old adage states "Steal a
chicken (feathered and they send
you to the penitentiary, but you
steal railroad and they send you
to the United States Senate"
The Democratic party as a whole
is not without official sin nor is it
free from corruptige odor; but the
Republican party as a whole (since
March 4, 1920 seems to have been
the worst ever. So in view of the
circumstances which prompts the
penning of these lines, I deem it
highly opportune either to send this
fellow Sinclair to the United States
Senate, or nominate him for the
vice presidency Of the United States.
Whenever the voters of our ma

If all the daily papers of our ma
ton were as sincere, acquainting the
public with all great issues and
analyzing them as splendidly as
your paper, it would not take long
to arouse public sentiment and crys-
talize it, which would inspire the
citizenship to work hand in hand
for the enforcement of all laws upon
rich and poor alike.
The impartiality manifested by
The Times in disseminating all news

dianapolis should justly warrant

There is just one suggestion I wish
to offer. if Harry Sinclair is nomi-
mated for the vice presidency of the

ticket-and elected-that he appoint
Albert B. Fall his private secretary.

Operation bv Uncle Sam

public utility organization sends out clip sheet
containing article opposing the proposed Gov
eminent of Muscle Shoals.
1t is, of course, perfectly proper for anyone to
oppose this project But there are valid grounds for
opposing it, there is need for confusing the issue
This article asserts that there is something IN
canny in the way in which projects which are handled
at financial profit by private concerns get into red
ink as soon as the Government assumes manage
ment"
That statement is open to serious question. The
Government made the air mail lines pay and only re-
linquished them when its own operation had proved
they could make money. 1t has made the Mississippi
barge lines pay handsomely. One fears that public
utility opposition to the Muscle Shoals proposition
is based on anything but fear that the Govern
ment couldn't make it pay"

Other Americans

A Canadian paper repeats the old protest against
applying the word American exclusively to citizens
of the United States. 1t points out, with justice
that citizens of Canada, Brazil or Chile can just as
logically apply the word to themselves.
Many attempts have been made to find word
for the United States and all have hzzed During
the war the British solved the difficulty by calling all
United States troops "Yanks"-although they PROB
ably didn't imagine how that would sound to soldiers
from Alabama or Texas. Someone once suggested
"Usans" but that hybrid that doubtless will never
gain favor.
Well probably go on saying Americans" but we
might remember that our neighbors to the north and
south can use the name well as we can Why
can't some of the bright young men who coin adj
vertising names and slogans do something about it?
Surely it ought to be possible to find word that
would strike public fancy and avoid wounding the
pride Of other American nations.

Turn Steve Loose

If the final count is in accord with the
partial results of the primary, there should be
united effort to release D. G. Stephenson
from the penitentiary.
The voters, apparently, have indorsed his
methods and his murders.
There is something pitiable about Steve in
his cell and Walb in his stripes, with Watson,
Robinson, an Updike and a Coffin remaining
in power.
There is, Of course, the alibi that the pri-
maries were crooked and dishonest.
There can be only the explanation that the
vote is the work of all the best cheaters in the
State, massed for final action in defense of dis
honesty, bgotry, intolerance.
If those who won in the Republican pri-
mary have any sense of common decency, any
remnant Of fellow feeling, they will journey
to Michigan City and at the cell of Steve bend
their knees in alteration to the great master
mind that pointed the way to their political
success.
Wait a moment~there is the vote for
Frank Daley. 1t gives to the honest voter
and the independent citizen who asks only to
be let alone, faint glimmer of hope. Not all
the money of Newberry, not all the massed
hate, not all the venal votes could vanquish
him.
But on the Republican side of the fence
there is only the feeling that Indiana is corrupt
and contented.
A majority for Robinson and the pearl
necklace from the grand dragon?
If he has any sense of gratitude he will ap-
peal to jackson, safe by the statute of hml-
tations to let his benefactor loose today and
not tomorrow.
A lead for Updike, who signed on the dotted
line? How can he feel any qualification while
his master sits in a cell?
A victory for Watson? Why not make him
President so that he can make good on all the
pledges that his serf, Jack Maroney, made to
Steve two years ago?
Turn Steve loose. That is the message
of Indiana.
1t is inconceivable that State which will
vote for all his henchmen will be unknd
enough to keep him in cell.

it will take year, sometimes to effect change in
one Of the belts.
Only marking upon the surface of the planet
has exhibited any degree Of permanence In 1873 a
bright red spot appeared upon of the belts 1t was
christened by astronomers the Great Red Spot"
Astronomers estimated the spot to be 10000 miles
long and 5000 miles wide 1t will be remembered that
Jupiter is very large having diameter of about $4,000
miles, eleven times the diameter of the EARTH
The Great Red Spot" is still visible but it has
faded to such extent that it is longer prom
lnent marking casual observer, unaware Of its
existence, would never notice it.
careful study of the markings of the planet Jupi-
ter reveals another interesting fact They not only
changing, but they rotating around the planet
with different speeds.
If the rotation time of the planet is measured by
means OF the markings on the equator, it out
nine hours and fifty minutes. If it is measured by
the markings in the high ATTITUDES of either the north
ern or southern hemisphere, it five minutes
longer.
Only one conclusion can be drawn from all those
facts. 1t is that we do not the surface of the
planet at all in the telescope but only the atmosphere
of the planet.
The shifting, changing markings must be due to
some sort of cloud formations At one time, astron-
omers thought that the brownish red streaks were
actually the planets surface, it showed through
between the graysh white clouds. But most author
tiles today doubt any Of the surface Of the planet
is visible.

ever witnessed of its kind in the trial Of nineteen
contempt cases before a jury Fedral Judge Geger
on March 7 issued an injunction against striking
hosiery workers picketing a mill in Kenosha, Wis.
At hearing March 20 he upheld the right to trials
by jury of persons cited for contempt of the injunction
In Ohio, during the same two weeks period, An
thony P Mnerich, chairman of the Pennsylvania

Ideals Are Different

AS to international ideals, ours
certainly are not the same as those
Of Germany, especially the Ger
many Of Kaiserism.
BY the same token, they are not
the same as those Of France, when
it comes to paying debts.
Further than that, we are not
quite sure of exactly what they
consist.
Internationalism is undergoing
profound change, and the ideals
which it holds, or by which it must
be guided, are reacting to the
process.
Nothing illustrates this more
wildly than Japan's latest action

XXTHEN the poplars turn "silver
w side up" it means rain, we've
often heard our grandfathers say.
Poplars, rapid growers, are closely
related to the willows. Of the
twenty-five species known, nine are
native to America. Five species
grow in eastern United States, the
others being Rocky Mountain or
western trees.
Poplar is now being extensively
used for paper making. Botanists
have been experimenting with a
fast growing hybrid poplar which
they hope will do much to supply
the enormous demand for paper
pulp.
The experiment so far seems to
prove that the new hybrid tree will
grow three times as fast as the
ordinary poplar.
Because it is easily worked, poplar
is particularly adapted to making
novelties, toys and woodenware.
The bark is heavily charged with
tannic acid and in Europe is used
for tanning leather.
Poplars are sometimes spoken of
as nurse trees" and as pioneers"
because they so often prepare the
way for other trees.
When a fire sweeps through the
forest, the poplar is almost sure to
be the first seeding to spring up in
the charred waste.
The word "populus" is derived
by some from "pallo," to vibrate or
shake; others suppose that the tree
obtained its name from being used
in ancient times to decorate the
public places in Rome, where 1t was
called "arbor populi," or tree Of the
people.
