Who saw Blacky killed, anyway"
II understand it was my cousin,

Jack the Gray Squirrel. 81 heard it
myself from Sammy Jay, and you know
Sammy is Blacky'S cousin"
Just then Sammy Jay arrived.
Is it true?" cried Tommy Tit and
Yank-Yank and Happy Jack together.
''Is it true that your cousin, Blacky the
Crow, has been killed and eaten by
Hooty the Owl?"
Sammy Jay looked as solemn as it
was possible for him to with that pert
cap he wears.
I'm afraid it is" said he. "Chat-
terer the Red Squirrel told me about it,
and I went over to the tree where
Blacky's old nest is. Hooty the Owl and
Mrs. Hooty were sitting in that tree,
and scattered all around below were
black feathers. They were Crow feath-

am afraid that my cousin, Blacky the
Crow, is no more. He and I didn't get
along together very well, but I guess
that was my fault as much as his. I
shall miss him. I shall, indeed. The
Green Forest will not seem quite the

It is astonishing how fast such news

and most capitaIstic corporations in the United
States such as General Electric, International Har
vester and Ford. They have not lost money, but
have made money, doing business with Russia.
Dozens of other corporations have had the same ex-
perience They want to Continue this business. And
it means jobs for American workers who need jobs
But this business ard these jobs jeopardized
seriously by the unnecessary obstacles to the free and
fuller flow of trade and credit occasioned by our
irregular political relations the lack of commercial
treaties and the absence of governmental machinery
10 facilitate trade as with other foreign countries
Therefore, the logical conclusion of the Hoover
policy should be diplomatic recognition. The free
flow of American Russian trade, which the White
House claims to favor, has been proved impossible
without such diplomatic recognition.
To argue that the United States government does
not and should not approve the Soviet form of gov
eminent has precisely nothing whatever to do with
the case. OF course Americans do not favor Com
munism Neither did we approve the czarist form
of government.
Nor do we approve the Mussoini Fascist govern
uent nor several other present relationships But
recognize them automatically. Such diplomatic
recognition implies neither approval dsapproval;
merely means that we recognize the nescapable fact
Of the existence of that particular foreign govern
ment and that regularize relations by treaties
and diplomatic machinery for convenience and pro-
lection Of American citizens.
This is business proposition. We have failed to
destroy the Soviet government by withholding diplo
matte recognition and obstructing trade for twelve
years. Now Great Britain and others are taking Rus
sian business away from LARGELY because they have
regular diplomatic and trade relations.
If we don't want Russian business in this time of
American depression all we have to do is to continue
our absurd non-recogntion policy.

theories Are Foolish

TAKES, freaks and near-lunatics
Il often can give birth to bright
ideas, but they can't do very much
with them. The world has built up
lot of foolish theories around that
fact. 1t has imagined that they
were victims of unjust treatment,
has wept over their pathetic plight,
and has developed the illusionment
that genius goes unrewarded.
Meanwhile, normal persons, II
they have grit to keep at it, not only
can think up just as bright ideas,
but do something with them. Edi-
son should have died poor, accord
ing to the formula and he would
have, had he died at 3d.
The sob sister complex has had q,
lot to do with our estimate of what
constitutes genius. We have wept
over bright boys who died young,
until we really believed they were
different. We have accepted old
age as proving that equally bright
boys were not so much after all.
The game has gone on until we
have worked ourselves into q frame
of mind where we actually do not
want to believe that an old, pros
porous gentleman has much in his
favor except "luck." We still are
more or less sold on the miracle SUI
perstition, still prefer to imagine
that true greatness is more likely to
wind up in a garnet than in COM
Portable home, and that genius is
almost certain to go unrecognized,
if not hungry.

JAMES EENTS BIRTH
July 81
ON July 81, 1853, James Kent,
" eminent American jurist,
whose decision in hundreds Of law
cases still are cited, was born in
Philippi, N. Y, the son of a noted
lawyer.
Graduated from Yale at. the age
of Is, Kent was admitted to the bar
four years later. After he had been
several times elected to the New
York assembly the young lawyer re-
moved to New York to I'LL the new
professorship of law at Columbia
college.
With the recognition accorded
him by Hamilton, Jay and other
leaders in the FederaliSt party,
Kent rapidly advanced a5 a judicial
officer. From chief justice in the
state supreme court Kent was ap-
pointed chancellor, then the high
est judicial Office in the state.
Kent is best known for his "Con1-
mentaries on American Law"
which are said to have had a deep
er and more lasting influence in the
formation of the national charae-
ter than any other secular book Of
the last century excepting Black
stones Commentaries on the Laws
of England" Rent's Commentaries
now are used by every American
lawyer as well as by many IN other
countries.

The proper treatment for the
simpler form of so-called dyspepsia
is the creation of good hygiene re-
garding eating. The two factors of
first Importance are the establish
ment of regular hours of eating and
insistence on leisure during the
performance.
The human system is so regulated
that tne establishment of a regular
hour for eating is marked promptly
by an effort of the digestive me-
chanism to get ready for the food
before it is due to arrive.
The juices begin to be deposited
that aid in the digestion. The mus

walls are toned up ready to do their
share in mixing and moving the

Little ripples of activity called

getting ready and digestion is hard

Killing Russian Trade

For a few days it looked like the administration
was trying to increase unemployment and close fac
tories by killing American trade with Russia Amer
lean business men and investors whose capital was
threatened directly, and American workers who were
losing their jobs objected
Now, it appears, that the whole thing mis-
take. President Hoover. it is announced, has no in
tenton OF backing those government officials who
would boycott Russian trade such because they do
not approve of the Soviet form OF government.
The Presidents decision is wise. Assistant Secre-
tsry of the Treasury Lowman was setting out on
policy which as fanatical it costly. 1t is
Lovman'S duty to enforce the law, and that in
cudes of course the clause of the tariff law against
importation of convict labor goods But Lowman has
no authority to discriminate against Russian trade in
this way any other manner
Not even the American Federation of Labor with
all its hatred of Russia. approves of blanket boy
cott And it is highly significant that PI esden Green
Of the federation and individual unions have dis
avowed the demands of Matthew Vol, vice-presi-
dent Of the federation for a general embargo.
The matter does not end, however, merely with the
welcome discovery that Lowman is not representative
of the administration and that Vol not representa-
tive of American labor.
For this latest incident reveals with added force
the basic incongruity Of nation trying to do bust
with a country from which it withhods dipo-
matte recognition. Theoretically trade relations
without diplomatic relations possible but in actual
fact are highly impracticable
The dispute over the Lowman embargo on Rus
sian pulpwood shipments is typical. Lowman says
convict labor employed but he will not submit
his proof Russia denies the convict labor charge.
What are the facts2 The United States government
can not establish the facts for itself because lacking
diplomatic relations its officials not the spot
to investigate
Therefore, American manufacturers, shipping
companies and labor must suffer through hssty
treasury department action on the basis of unSup-
ported rumors by professional RuSsian-baites OF the
