Argentinian.America Relations.

Our relations with Argentina seem
fated to drift from bad to worse In
eptitude in dealing with them may be
to blame, leaving wholly on one side
so vital cause as the pending pro-
posals to levy heavy new tariffs on Ar
gentinian exports to this country.
The very latest ruction with the
southern republic concerns the Interna-
tional Congress on Penal Sciences, which
opens at Buenos Aires on october IL
The United States is not to be repre-
Sented. Secretary Stimson offers the
somewhat amazing explanation that II
is due solely to lack of funds. If that
produces a smile in Buenos Aires as
wide as the mouth of the La Plata
River, no surprise should be occasionec
in Washington. Col. Stimson adds that
Congress made no application fol
American participation In the penal
conference, and that the contingent
fund" of the State Department is not
equal just now to the strain Of provid-
ing the necessary wherewithal.
It is gratifying to hear from Buenos
Aires that not all the responsibility fol
this tragi-comedy. or for Argentinian'
American strain, rests on OUR shoulders
THE United states has assumed the
only attitude to be expected" says La
Nacion, "in the face of long series Of
discourtesies on the part Of the Ar
gentine government" Among these
lapses, the important Buenos Aires
journal points out, are the governments
continued refusal to send an Ambassa-
dor to Washington and the Withdrawal
of Argentina's delegates from last Win
ter's Pan-American Conference on Con-
Citation and Arbitration. A year before
the delegations from Argentina and the
United States all but openly clashed al
the Sixth Pan-American Conference 1r
Havana.
There is plainly growing up on the
east coast Of South America, in that
rich republic which is our best customer
in those parts, situation that urgently
clanors for Washington's attention. II
seems to need the Dwight MORO"
touch. Why not transfer the Mexican
American pacificator to Buenos Aires?

Japan's Political Scandals.

japanese political scandals are
brought directly into international view
through the sudden death of former
Premier Tanaka, whose ministry was
forced out of power last July. 1t has
been known to a certain extent that
Baron Tanaka's government was In
volved in some highly questionable az
fairs, but until he passed away, while
engaged in maneuvers for the restora-
ton of his party, the Seiyukai, to power,
the world beyond Japan did not realize
to what an extent members of his
ministry were implicated in dubious do
ings. It appears that the minister
of railways in the late Tanaka govern
ment is now in prison on various
charges of bribery running into the
millions in connection with railway
construction permits and the purchase
of lines by the government Another
subordinate of the Tanaka ministry,
former president of the board of deco
rations, is likewise in jail charged with
having profited personally by the sale
of decorations in connection with the
recent imperial enforcement cere-
monies. Other charges are pending, 1t
is stated, that may bring about further
scandals.
The Seiyukai party is the representa-
tive in the main of the large land
owners and the capitalists of Japan. 1t
is the usual winner in the national par
liamentary elections. When the Tanaka
government fell in July, 1t was freely
predicted that another election would
be held in the Winter and that the
Seiyukai would win, with the restora-
ton of Tanaka to power. The new
ministry, headed by Hamaguchi, has
started in on course Of retrenchment
and the curtailments of expenditure
proposed had caused an early reaction
! in its disfavor. But the revelations OF
misconduct on the part of Tanaka
ministry oficials have set up counter
reaction which, despite the numerical

Predictions Heroism.

AT almost the same hour that Wash
ington Barracks are about to be the
scene of q spectacular reproduction OF
Sergt, Alvin York's feat in nearly wip-
ing out the whole German army single
handed, another prodigious example OF
World War heroism is commemorated.
Last Friday at the White House
President Hoover pinned the Congress
sional Medal of Honor on the breast OF
an American soldier, hitherto I'M
heralded and unknown. He is Michael
Valente of Long Beach, N. Y, private
in the 10th Infantry. U. S. A., in 1918.
Valentes achievement ranks fitting
ly with Yorks epic deed. The citation
stated that, with a companion. he at
tackled one machine gun nest, killed
two of the gunners and captured FIVE,
charged another gun and put It out Of
action and jumped into an enemy
trench, killing two and capturing six
teen Germans before he was wounded.
It was not going beyond the evident
truth for the citation to add that
Valente's medal is the reward "for gal
lantry and tntrepidity above and be-
yond the call of duty"
The annual military exposition and
carnival. which is to open in Washing
ton on Thursday, will be featured by
Yorks superhuman act in capturing,
virtually by himself, thirty-six enemy
machine guns and 1872 prisoners. The
episode, described by Gen. Pershing as
one of the conspicuous military Incl
dents of all time, Is being mimicked
here this week in no vainglorious spirit
of military pride. 1t was an exhibit
ton of almost incredible human cour-
age. AS such, it Is worthily starred. y
for the inspiration of American youth,
should the time come for other Yorks
and other Valentes to dare greatly for
their country.
The Army is staging a fascinating
show for a splendid cause.-the relief
fund from which dependents of Amer
lean soldiers are cared for. when the
breadwinners fall in the Unions peace

preponderance Of the Seiyukai. 10 likely
to yield a majority for the now estab-
lished opposition party. the Minseito,
in the event of a general election.
Party government in Japan has not
been altogether free Of scandalous tend
encieS. The governments engagement
in railroad and industrial enterprises
has permitted abuses and brought bu-
reaucratic administration down to the
"spoils" level. The influence Of the
elder statesmen" or "Genro," has
waned with the successive passing Of
those veterans of the peerage, only one
Of whom now remains, Prince Saionji.
That influence was conservative. 1t
has, however, virtually passed until
there has been no restraint upon the
political leaders, Of whom Tanaka was
an outstanding example. He was fear
less, aggressive and devoted to the ad-
vancement of his party's interests.
Japan has made wonderful advance
in industrial expansion in recent years.
Education had spread until the coun-
try has one of the highest percentages
of literacy in the world. Foreign trade
has increased greatly, the merchant
marine has been developed, the rail-
road system has been extended and i'm
proved. In all material matters the
country has prospered. A conservative
foreign policy has been developed. In
respect to relations with China, Japan
has been modifying her position to
conform to the recognition by the
major powers of the territorial integrity
of the republic. A moderate attitude
in Manchuria has recently been mani
tested, without lessening the hold OF
Japan on the properties and rights
gained through the war with Russia.
In domestic politics alone has Japan
offered any ground for criticism, and
the sincere friends of that country have
hoped for reforms and changes in that
respect. Perhaps the present revela-
tons will lead to permanent improve
ment in the morale Of party govern
ment.

echoed In applause from the watchers
on the terrace. The machine straight
ened out, finally, and. much to the dis
appointment of the witnesses, negoti-
ated the turn and escaped without
damage across the bridge.
In the next few minutes, however, the
inevitable came to pass. A car de-
scended the hill with more than ordi-
nary speed. The driver felt his wheels
slip. put on the brakes, and began tire
long skid that is the Joy Of every child
on lower Park road. Fortunately, from
the children's point of view. there was q
parked car near the curve. The skid
ding machine crashed into the parked
car, there was q howl of delight from
the children and the occupants of both
cars, uninjured, co-operated in remov-
ing the damaged machines.
A contract has been signed by the
District with q company that soon is
to widen Park road and bank the
curves. But the work has been delayed.
Meanwhile, an exceptionally heavy ap-
plication Of surface material has made
this pavement, after a rain, as slippery
as glass. Every rain means more or
less serious skids, while in dry weather
the road is dangerous enough. It is
miraculous that there have been no
real tragedies.
The work of repair either should be
undertaken now or the surface Of this
section of Park road sprinkled with
material that will prevent or lessen the
chance for skidding. Otherwise. the
District authorities may have a diff
cult time explaining the continuation
of menacing condition.

Byrd's Debt to Radio.
rom the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The hearty Endorsement which Comdr
Richard e. Byrd has just given to ra-
dio is all the proof needed that the
new science has definitely made place
for itself in exploration. The services
performed between units of the expedi-
ton, which made possible the success
achieved thus far, have been great
and in each instance created prece-
dent. There has at no time been iso-
lation from the outside world; radio
kept the little group near the South
Pole in touch with home events. What
this has meant from the standpoint OF
building and maintaining morale may
never be calculated, but the special
broadcasts of KDKA may be credited
with no small share in the achieve
ments down under"
If the expedition owes a heavy debt
to radio, 1t may we'll be that the sys-
tenn of aerial communication will in the
end have to be grateful to Byrd and
his men. The scientific studies made
under the peculiar conditions of the
aurora australis-the southern lights
with the data kept Of reception under
varying intensities of the display should
in the end be of value in dealing with
radio interference.

to his home in Ireland for recuperation.
Not long ago he found 1t necessary to
seek the more Salubrious climate of
Switzerland, where he and Lady Brod-
erick expect to reside until the end of
the year. No foreigner has a keener
perception of the politico-economic sit
uation in this country than the Irish
English diplomat, whose family enjoys
wide popularity in the Washington off,
cial world.
Soon after he took Office, Alexander
Legge, chairman of the Federal Farm
Board. figured in the gossip as to what
order of precedence he would occupy at
Washington social functions. The Chi
cago harvester magnate promptly let it
be known that the question was the
very least of his troubles. Since then
he appears to have made a more con-
structive suggestion. At any rate, the
Farm Board executive is quoted as say
ing that the proper place for leg is

The newest addition to the White
House kennels, an Eskimo dog presented
to Mr.. Hoover by admirers in the
Yukon, has been named Snow Bali
by the executive staff. Snow Ball,
who's as white as his name, is a dog
with an apparently unquenchable fond
ness for the things among which he
grew up. He landed in Washington
during the September heat wave cou-
pie of weeks ago, and it almost knocked
him out. One morning the White
House ice man, by mistake. dropped a
sample of his wares on the sidewalk
near the basement entrance. Later In
the day Snow Ball was found peace
fully asleep, with his face comfortably
propped athwart the ice.

A Warning.

Yesterday afternoon, late, it began to
sprinkle. That was no phenomenon.
But the reaction to the rain, as shown
by every child old enough to toddle and
living on Park road between the Piney
Branch Bridge and Nineteenth street,
was, to say the least, phenomenal. Like
so many young war horses, seeming
from afar the smell of battle, they
perked up their heads and. after OBJ
tanning permission from the heads OF
houses, rushed to point of vantage
on the terrace overlooking the curve
that Park road makes onto the bridge
ever Piney Branch. Before the pave
ment was wet there were twenty or
thirty children, some of them under
umbrellas, standing in a row and walt
ing to watch the automobiles skid.
Their patience, and their knowledge
of coming events, was soon rewarded
An automobile descending the slippery
incline began to skid. The application
o brakes brought squeal that was

Human Interest.

Human Interest.
We often like to take chance
With poetry, likewise romance
But soon we lay the books away
And ask what does the price tag say.
We ask with interest complete
About the factories and the wheat.
Our minds will dwell on things they sell
And the tale the price tag has to tell.
Attentively now we give heed
To cost as shown in the ads we read.
All fiction sure is insecure
And the price tag governs our literature.
