Fair Trade Bill Favored
AS Aid to Small Business
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
note in The Star of January 81 that
a Mrs. Baggs, Mrs. Wiley and Lucie
Border Bant2 oppose the Capper-Kelly
falr trade bill, and the latter is in
cllned to think if this proposed legisla-
ton Is enacted, the United States will
become Russia. This is absurd.
l suggest that all persons interested
get a copy of this bill Oh. r. I'D and
read it. 1t is self-eXplanatory.
Congress controls retail prices on
stamps and Government publications.
Also prohibits ticket scalping, thereby
controlling prices of railroad tickets.
There are statutes by which insurance
agents are prohibited from splitting
their commissions on insurance as a
means of lowering price below that
established by the company which is
selling the insurance. Also publishers
control resale prices of their newspapers
and periodicals
Congress should control resale price
of trade-marked merchandise.
1t is my contention that the law
should be made fair and equitable, that
either the little manufacturer and the
little retailer should be able to pro-
tect the retail prices by means of in
expensive contracts or else the law
should be changed so as to prohibit
the organizations of large capital from
controlling their retail prices by means
of consignmentS. refusal of sales or vast

the disclosure. The search for the
specific organism Of "poliomylitis," or
infantile paralysis, has been persistent
and with no success until quite recently.
Meanwhile, the victims of this dread
full disease have multiplied. Attacking
chiefly the young, though occasionally
adults have been afflicted, it has left
great numbers of virtually hopeless
cripples, while taking heavy toll in
death. Now, through animal expert
mentation, serum has been found
which it is reported establishes i'm
munity and protection. 1t is not yet
disclosed to what extent human beings
have been treated in this research, but
the fact that announcement has been
made formally by a high medical au-
thority indicates that the serum is re-
garded as an established remedy, pre-
ventive, II not curative. To what ex-
tent 1t can be applied and in what
circumstances to effect the greatest
benefit remains to be demonstrated.

watch further developments with un-.

Sooner or later American public opin-
ion will demand that ways and means
be found for undoing the affront which
Congress offered the proud japanese
nation. 1t was an act taken in direct
opposition TO the wishes and advices
of President Coolidge and Secretary
Hughes Congress was assured by the
President and his Secretary of State
that every vital American immigration
interest would be safeguarded by pro-
longation Of the "gentlemens agree
ment" under which the entry Of Japa-
nese in the immediate past had been
satisfactorily restricted
Probably but for an unfortunate
phrase in the communication addressed
to Secretary Hughes by Ambassador
Hanihara--the celebrated reference to
serious consequence" which would fol-
low exclusion legislation - Congress
would have deleted the Objectionable
feature Of the new law, as 1t was urged
to do by the President. Senator Lodge
insisted that Mr.. Hanihara's unhappy
allusion constituted "a yelled threat"
which American self-respect could not
tolerate. Forthwith the fat was in the
fire
History will record that Japanese ex-
clusion was enacted in pique. American
craftsmanship should be big enough,
and the sooner the better, to recognize
that fact and justify Japan's unf1agging
faith in our sense of fair play. Japan
does not seek to flood Us with her
emigrants. All she Graves is to be rid
of the stigma of undesirable aliens
which since 1924 we have fastened upon
her whole people.
Baron Shidehara says there is no
longer any doubt that Japans position
is now fully understood and appreciated
by a large majority of the American
people, That is an undoubtedly &C
curate statement, but Congress ought to
say it with revisionary law.

Pavlova.

A supreme artist, even in her adj
vancing years, Anna Pavlova has passed
away suddenly, just as she was about
to renew her active work in tour. She
was one of the great dancers Of all time.
For some years she had been compare
lively in retirement, making only occa-
sional appearances on the stage, showing
no diminution in her artistry, though
naturally somewhat less intense in her
performances than a decade ago. The
announcement Of her shockingly swift
illness and death brings wildly to mind
the thrill with which America wit
messed her superb performance twenty
years ago, when, after gaining fame in
Russia and winning recognition in other
European lands, she came to this coun-
try with her then dancing partner,
Mordkin. Hers was almost a new art,
though it comprised the elements of
the most ancient OF arts. Her vivid
personality, her marvellous grace, her
poetic expression in terms of movement
and rhythm made an instant appeal
and won the warmest plauditS. Her
success brought many into the field
who had less talent and whose per-
formances were less artistic. 1t re-
vived vogue for the classic interpre-
tive dance and undoubtedly abated the
trend toward vulgarity in the dance
that eventually, however, gained head
way and for a time prevailed. The
highest artistry fortunately remains
the ideal and Pavlova's contribution to
the worlds enjoyment has permanent
value that cannot be lessened by passing
lapses.

Army Cooks as Relief
For Hungry Are Urged

To the Editor of The Star:
II the Government desires to give the
suffering people of Arkansas and other
States some real and immediate relief
why not take advantage Of our trained
and efficient Regular Army cooks that
have been graduated from the cooking
schools of the Army? The surplus roll
ing kitchens we have in the storehouses.
OF which there are many hundreds,
could be put into action with little
delay, have them manned by the trained
cooks, and let them issue the "Mulligan
stew" like the Chow" that was issued
to our fighting men oversee and in the
training camps during the World War
The Army is well and favorabIy known
for its promptness in coming to the
relief of suffering people during a
calamity.
Rolling kitchens could be taken out
OF the Army warehouses, cleaned up
and put in charge Of chief cook. with
nVe assistant cooks detailed from the
enlisted force of the Army or from our
National Guard. Excellent stew, coffee
and bread could be served to a line of
hungry people couple of times every
day. The food could be issued in the
same manner as was done in the Army
on the order to Fall in for chow!" The
local relief unit could put up temporary
mess halls to shelter the hungry while
feeding. With this method OF feeding
the hungry people in cities, relief could
be given to people in outside districts
or those that are i'll or unable to fall in
line. supply of Army rationS should
be shipped to various points in the hun
cry districts and placed under the su-
perv1sicn of efficient commissary off,
GERS Of the United States Army with
instructions to issue 10 days rations to
people living a distance from the supply
stations. In all cases where 10 DAYS
rations were requested the people should
be instructed to call on the local relief
unit for cards of identification as to
the number Of people in the family. A
tull Army ration of meat, potatoes, cof-
fee, sugar. -four, salt, etc, could be ra-
toned out with very little trouble and
with no waste if under the supervision
OF the United States Army. The details
OF this method Of relieving the hungry
and distressed people could be enlarged
upon as the necessity demanded. Let
the Senate, the House and the Red
Cross settle their controversy as to the
S25,000,000 by appropriation or the $1O,-
100000 by popular subscription and
pass the question Of immediate relief
up to the Commander in Chief of the
Army and Navy. who has had expert
ence in relief measures on a large scale.
This subject Of immediate relief is and
should be made urgent. 1t would save
the United States, the richest country
in the world, from ridicule abroad. but
more important is the alienation of the
hungry and distressed. and avoid the
discontent@an deplorable conditions of
our own citizens. The situation is criti-
cal. Considering the widespread I'M
employment and the political upheaval
we have Just gone through, makes 1t
necessary that the best thoughts of our
leading men and women should be
given to the possible disaster that might
happen to our beloved country
