JAPAN VAS RIGHT - AND
BARNUH TOO

COLEMNLY, seriously, with the eyes of
~ the world turned on them. members
of the League of Nations met to consid-
er what should be done about China and
Japan. China, perversely, is like little
child taking beating from some swash-
buckling bully.
Still solemnly and seriously, the League
council decided Japan was right, and
the council should leave the matter en-
tirely in the hands Of Japan and China,
which means in the hands of Japan.
China, of course, can appeal under article
15 of the League covenant, practically
demanding intervention by the League,
but until China does that she was given
to understand the council will leave the
situation to untangle itself.
This is no dissertation on the merits
of the League of Nations, which was
founded on great idea, but on the weak
ness of the men who formed that coun-
ell. After consideration of the Japanese
Sino difficulties, the council decided
Japan is right and China wrong, and
the League should not name an impartial
commission to make an inquiry into the
cause and rights of the Japanese invas-
ion of Manchuria.
In other words, the decision was that
China shall get along as best she can,
and that Japan shall withdraw, if ever
when she pleases. While members of the
council listened to charges by the Jap
anese that China was in the wrong, and
charges by China that Japan was in the
wrong, it left this point up in the air.
Apparently the council decided that
might is right, for Japan undoubtedly
has the might
In view of Japan's former stand on
the League of Nations-a stand favor
ing it strongly = the Japanese attitude
toward League intervention in this trou-
BILE displays the attitude of nations much
the same as the attitude of individuals.
The basic principal of the thing is high
ly approved, but in practice 1t Is much
better for another nation than for the
one concerned.
With council disposed to consider
not merely the right method of arriving
at a peacable settlement to prevent fur
ther boodshed, but to think of which
nation involved is more strong in political
councils, a plan which otherwise might
be a success seems doomed to failure.

CLASH OF ATTITUDES

GERARD SWOPE'S recent proposal for
u an elaborate industrial plan to avert
depression has brought into the open an
important conflict between two attitudes
toward modern life-a conflict of which
we are going to hear a great deal in the
coming decade.
Swope presented a complicated scheme
for guidance of national economics.
Owen D. Young, following him, summed
up the issue succinctly by remarking:
The question is whether the people
who are calling for economic planning
really mean what they say. Are they
willing to surrender their individual free
dom to the extent necessary to execute
plan?'
1t is no eXaggeration to say that that
draws the line along which tremendous
battle of words is going to be fought in
the near future.
In the past the people of the United
States have clung tenaciously to the old
ideal of individual independence. The
right of the worker to choose his own
employment, the right of the business
man to run his business as he saw fit
the duty of government to keep its hands
off of the machinery-these have been
cardinal points in our creed.
1t is only recently that this creed has
been seriously questioned. The "laissez
faire" school of economics had almost
unanimous maj ority until hard times
came. Now, however, we are hearing de-
mands for five-year plans, for compre-
hensive schemes like Swope's, for con-
certed action that will smooth out the
rough places.
Whether or not any of these plans will
finally be adopted is beside the point.
The thing that needs to be recognized
now is that adoption of any Of them
will mean that we shall be obliged to give
up some of our old freedom.
We can't have it both ways. We can
60 along in the old course if we prefer,
guided by the traditional notions about
Individual initiative and liberty - but
when hard times come, things will
have to be allowed to work them
selves out. Or we can put elabor-
ate plans into operation to mini
mize the industrial cycle and insure
steady income for all hands-but, If we
do, we shall have to modify our old ideas
about individual freedom very material
ly.
The conflict between these two atti-
tudes will become rather important dur
ing the next few years. We might as we'll
start thinking about it right now.

UNCLE WIGGLY'S PUMPKIN

Growing in Uncle Wiggily'S gar
den was a pumpkin, yellow as gold
and as large as TWO toy balloons.
There was more than one pumpkin
in the rabbit gentlenan's garden,
but the one this story IS going tG
be about was a very fine pumpkin
of which Mr.. Longoars was very
proud
One day Uncle W:ggily said to
himself:
L shall take a hop down to the
end Of the garden and look at my
prize pumpkin Re called it his
prize pumpkin because he was so
very proud of it. not that he had
won it as a prize or that there was
prize in it. Though. as a matter
of fact, soon there was going to
be something very strange inside
the pumpkin. Something other than
the seeds. But about this you shall
hear in due time.
Now in case some Of you city chill

What trick?' barked Jackie.
Listen and I'll whisper, whined
Peetie. So he whispered in his

and said:
stop You tickle! But it's a good
trick and we'll do it. I know where
there's a big one left After this
mysterious talk Jackie and Peetie
ran to their house and ran back
to the pumpkin before Uncle Wig
gily had come back with his wheel
barrow. The puppy dogs made a
hole IN the pumpkin and put some
thing inside Then they hid in the
! bushes and waited.
Pretty soon along came Mr.. Long
cars. He lifted the pumpkin on the
WheelDarroW and started trundling
! 1t to his bungalow. Jackie and Peet-
ie in the bushes watched him. They
had to hold their paws over their
mouths to keep from laughing out
loud.
All Of sudden. as Uncle Wiggily
was wheeling his pumpkin TO his
bungalow, out of the weeds popped
the Bob Cat and his silly little tail.
What are you doing with my
pumpkin" howled the Bob Cat.
That isn't your pumpkin; its
mine" said the rabbit.
IT'S miner" hOwled the Bob Cat.
Most impolitely he pushed Uncle
Wiggily aside and started wheeling
away the pumpkin.

Longears. "He has my prize pump

Let him have it, He won't go far
with it," barked Jackie, bobbing
out of the bushes with Peetie.
Why won't the Bob Cat go far
with my pumpkin?" asked the rab-
bit.
Because" answered Jackie,
"Peetie and I stuck big Fourth
of July fire-cracker inside it and
lighted the fuse. It will blow in a
second. We were going to play a
trick on you but now the trick will
be on the Bob Cat.
Surely enough, in another min
ute, the pumpkin exploded because
of the firecracker inside and blew
the Bob Cat head over heels high
above the trees. But Uncle Wiggily
wasn't hurt at all. And he gathered
up the pieces of the exploded
pumpkin and Nurse Jane made him
a fine pie.
So, even though Jackie and Peetie
played a trick it came out all right
and Uncle Wiggily forgaye them.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March Z
(NA.NA.)-If Paramount wanted ade-
ouate revenge on Ruth Chatterton for
going over to Warner Brothers, they
have IL in "Unfaithful," the John Van
Druten entertainment in which she
makes her most recent appearance.
:. John Van Druten turns The Green
Hat" inside out and doesn't do very
much with the lining. It's another, tale
of a girl who does wrong by herself to
safeguard the mythical nobility of her
husband. The husband is mean old
thing who takes the ISotta Fraschini
and leaves his wife nothing but the
Mercedes to drive out in. just a nasty
man He says "Hel-lo!" when he loses
his cigarette case. When ms we nn9s
IL he says "Eel-lo!" again. He falls
back on this expression once more
when he loses his wife. And. at
conservative estimate, this brilliant ex-
pletive dots the dialogue from time to
time at five-minute intervals.
From the very first shot when we
learn that "old Ronny has married at
last" we know it's going to be devil
ishly British to the very end and we
are not disappointed. Despite the iaGt
that we are told this offering is Ruth
Chatterton in 'Unfaithful with Paul
Lukas," we find it is the husband who
is unfaithful with Juliette Compton.
And, because sJuliette Compton is mar
ried to the heroine's brother, there is
nothing to do about it but go to the
devil la Van Druten for the other
six reels.
Despite the fact that this story
forces Ruth Chatterton to begin her
career of disillusioned profligacy by
ordering one cocktail and downing 1t
Wide-eyed while the most sophisticated
set in London look on in utter horror,
she manages to infuse something very
fine into the truly emotional scenes.

law and that knowledge of this fact

TICKET Named
FOR LEGION

Two former commanders Of To-
cal American Legion posts are
among those most prominently
mentioned for the position of de-
partment commander for the Dis
trict Of Columbia, when the posts
elect their ticket at the District

ment post two years ago but was
defeated.
The Sergeant Jasper Post is

commander of this post, to be de.
partment commander. The Stu
art Walcott Post has pledged its
unanimous support to its former
commander, Warren E. Miller,
who is Judge advocate general of
the District Legion Department.
At its meeting last night, the post
cited Miller's record as "distin-
guished," and reminded that
since he Is not a Government en-
ploye, he would have few restric-
tionS as Department Commander.
Frederick Fraser. who is senior
vice commander of the depart
ment, is upheld by his post for
his service now and past, and for
his aid to Department Comman-
der B. C. Mcneil.
The Sergeant Jasper Post has
this ticket for the convention:
Commander, Mr.. Fraser; Richard
O'Brien, past commander of the
Vincent Costello Post, senior vice
commander; William McGrath,
commander Police Post, second
vice commander; Helen Sprague,
