From what l could gather as q resident of Cheshire for two years l doubted it
 T had no idea that I should get any notoricty out of it then or later"
 It was the Wheeler letter, the date of which was not noted by a committee clerk, that inspired a ub-committee of the senate judic- ary committee to inquire into Mir Walters views of prohibition before recommending confirmation of his reappointmcnt.

Charges that Fascists in the last eight years have
murdered more than 1000 Yugoslav subjects in Italy
and imprisoned and tortured 10000 more, will put
the norities committee of the League of Nations to
the test It already has been tried and found want
ing with respect to Italian brutality among the Ger
an-speaking inhabitants Of the South Tyrol handed
over to Italy at the close of the World
There may be exaggeration in the Yugoslav
charges but the Tyro terror is we'll known. The
German language has been abolished, education
Italianzed and even religion seriously interfered
with. BY seizing the peasant banks, the Fascists
have forced the Tyrolese to submit or starve.
The committee on minorities has done some good
work on abuses involving smaller nations, but not
the big powers.
Will it act in the case of Mussolini? Unless it
does the fine talk about oppressed peoples and rights
of subject natonaties during the World war will
prove nothing beyond empty verbiage
Nussolnis treatment of the Yugoslavs and Ty-
roese probably has been worse than anything prac-
ticed by civilized states in the fifty years prior to
1914 The German treatment Of the Poles and Asa
tians, Hungarian policies toward Rumanians in
Pennsylvania, and the like in pre-war days, were
caresses compared to the Mussolini ravages.
Even the czarist terror in Finland and Poland did
not match the Fascist outrages The only thing
parable to the later were the Turkish policies in the
Balkans and Armenia
We are not ndicting nation. It is not Italy or
the Italians who at fault 1t is the brutal ruth
less and arrogant policy of their Fascist dictator
Under Ntti and other civilized italian statesmen
from 1918 to 1922 the minorities were treated with
decency and consideration.
Once more, it is II Duce versus civilization.

MANY Voters Are Political MorOns

Nobody was surprised when Maine went Repub-
lean. Nobody is surprised when Alabama goes Demo-
cratic The surprise would come if either went the
other way.
There are states that are considered either safely
Democratic or Republican but it doesn't reflect much
credit on either state when you come to analyze It,
Putting it blunty but honestly the great majority
of voters are political They haven't the
slightest understanding of why they are Republicans
or Democrats. M st of them were born that way
lust as they we're b-n Protestants Catholics or Jews
political moro is voter who votes party ticket
for no better reason than that his father did the same
thing and passed the habit on to his children When
a state is overwhelmingly one way another, there
is no intelligent meaning to it-nothing more intell-
gent than habit
Many intelligent people don't vote because they
can't find anything worth while to vote for. The TACT
that about so per cent of eligible voters don't vote IS
encouragingit indicates rising tide of intelligence
as well as a reluctance to vote when it doesn't mean
anything.
Idealism is all right, but it might as well mean
something people can get their hands on here in This
life instead of something for their unborn descend
ants People want to live and be happy while they
are alive instead of after they dead.
Hereafters must not be too far away in politics and
government Possibly in religion. It is better to live
while we are alive.

Helm Our Own Needy

There's nothing the matter with the heart of the
people of this country the trouble is in the head
They will contribute literally when there is famine
in China India or anywhere else all over the world
They will rush with their sympathy and their money
to the relief of the hurricane stricken people of Sano
Domingo-but-
They won't get down to brass tacks and find way
to solve the problem of the unemployed people of the
United States.
There is hunger and distress in Santo Domingo.
Men, women children need food, clothing, shelter
and medical attention And our generous people will
dig down into their jeans and send it. They will send
it anywhere on EARTH regardless of race creed, or
color of the stricken
But there hunger distress, and disease right here
IN our own country. Hundreds of thousands of men
who are willing and anxious to work can't get jobs.
Their wives and children go hungry; and have had
no hurricane. But we have had, and having now,
thousands even millions out of work.
If we had famine those who have gladly would
give 70 the lives of those who have not because
they out of work.
Why don't we get our heads together and so organ
our industrial life that nobody who wants to work
ever will be out of job and forced to accept charity?
Here is a problem for our captains of industry to
solve Politicians won't solve it, It's business prob
lem. Let us save our own people from the fear Of
losing their jobs.
Poverty is Just terrible here as it is anywhere
else in the world. Human sympathy is Just as much
needed at home as abroad.

WHY Macdonald Lied

The mental processes Of John Macdonald, key
witness in the famous fraud known as the Mooney
Billings conviction were "far from normal in 1916
when by his identification" he tried to send Tom
Moonev and Warren Billings to the galows and prison
for life
This is according to the first scientific evidence an
affidavit Just filed by Dr. Howard NafAger, Cali
fornias most eminent brain specialist who by fortu-
nate chance was the man who attended the perjurer
as clinic patient Just before he took the stand as
the states chief witness fourteen years ago.
The affidavit is an important link in the chain
of logic drawn about the case for pardon Of these
two men Those who heard or read NacDonald's re-
cent confessions of perjury know that here is man
incapable Of normal honest thinking
Comes now famous surgeon to tell the doubt
ing Thomas on the California supreme bench that
the same thing that afflicts him now afflicted him
fourteen years ago. This disease Of the central
nervous system disease that is one Of the most po-
tent causes of mental breakdown known to medical
science.
Frank c. Oxman and Macdonald were the only
two state witnesses to have seem Mooney and Bill
ngs at the scene of the 1916 bombing. Perjurer Ok
man, now proved to have been ninety miles away at
the time, has been branded by both the supreme
court and Governor Young as a romancer. Perjurer
Macdonald was at that time and is physically
wrecked, mentally disordered and morally sick.
BY the sworn word of such as these, whom the late
joseph Choate would call witnesses who make mer-
chandise of their oatas and trade in the blood of
their fellow beings" Mooney and Billings remain in
prison.

A Weak Tariff Commission

The ninety days allowed by law proved Insult
lcent when the President came to organize his new
federal tariff commission. A list of six names finally
was completed Tuesday the last day of grace only to
have one withdrawn.
Refusal of a score or more persons, originally
picked for the posts by the President according
to press reports certainly is not surprising. Only
persons utterly uniformed regarding the tariff
situation or heroes of almost superhuman faith
would welcome service on such a commission under
present circumstances.
Tariff experts and economists of the country TO-
gether with large number of business men, are
agreed fairly we'll that scientific tariff relief can
come out Of the flexible machinery provided by the
Hawley- Smoot law. This Judgment is not based on
guesses but on the eight years record Of futty of
the old machinery, which was essentially the same

There will be tariff reform until the conlrs-
sion is divorced from the political administration and
until the flexible rate-makng power is returned 10

This is especially true when the desired reform
Of rates is so sweeping that necessitated by the
disastrous tariff law now prolonging business de-

SO long as the tariff commission is little more
than a cumbersome White House accessory its per-
sonnet is not matter of great importance. Not
the most impartial and expert of commissions could
beat the game under the present rules.

Primal Matter

1T is interesting to compare some
Il of the statements of the Yin
Yang doctrine with modern scien-
tific theory.
Sir Oliver Lodge, for example, says
that it may be possible that both
the positive and negative electrons
originated from the ether of space.
His idea is that the positive cleo
iron might be one kind of whirl
or vortex in the ether, while the
negative electron is a vortex in the
opposite direction
Davis and WI write: ct was sup
posed that the primal matter, Tai
Chi, in its gyrations gradually sep
arated into two parts.
1.-THE heavy and gross part, Yin,
settled and formed the earth, while
the fine and light part, Yang, re-
manned suspended and formed the
heavens.
Together they we're the two reg
ulating powers and constituted the
soul of the universe"
Liang writes, YIN was regarded
as the female element, IMPLYING in
general the more undesirable phe-
nomena Of nature. Yang was re-
garded as the male element, which
was, in turn, representative of the
qualities in direct opposition to
those of the Yin.
From the interaction of these two
cosnic forces, the universe was
created and, in its various phases,
directed and controlled.
"As time went on, this principle
of dualism came to be a most potent
factor n Chinese thought, for it
permeated both the material and
the moral world.
sat later date, it was adopted
as one of the cardinal beliefs of
Confuc1anism."
