there is little church around the cor
ner where you might be accommodated"
Then God bless the little church
around the fcorner!" Jefferson replied.

the church became one patronized by
all New York stage and musical people.
Or. George H. Houghton succeeded his
father. and the association was cement

The Jananese Method


Perhaps the reason other countries
find it difficult to reconcile the move
ments Of Japan's army in. Man.
churia with the official declarations
Of the government is ignorance of
the Nipponese system of government,
It is readily possible for the Japan
ese cabinet to decide one way and
for the army to do the opposite. The
army is answerable only to the en-
peror, who may, II he chooses, ignore
the wishes of the premier and
cabinet. In the present situation 1t
would appear that. If the premier
and cabinet are sincere in their pro-
testations concerning Manchuria, the
policy Of the emperor is not that OF
the rest Of the government.
The thing is done differently in
most other countries. Those having
parliamentary forms of government
give complete and continuous control
over their fighting men to the premier
and parliament which makes it i'm
possible for the national policy to be
one thing and the military program,
another.
Japan's system is similar in some
particulars to that OF the United
States Here the president is COM
mander-in-chief Of the country's
fighting force and has the power 20
send expeditions into foreign waters
or countries without the permission
Of congress, which alone has the
power to declare war.

Bit by bit, the various social and
political entanglements have been
unraveling.
One hears that John D. Rookie
feller, Jr., expects the Met to be part
of his fabulous Radio City. One
hears that Mr.. Rockefeller has con-
siderable "say-so" at the moment.
At which point, up springs Roxy,
fresh from considerable tour OF
Europe in search Of future Radio City
talent. And Roxy announces that
he would like the Met to come over
to Radio City. But If they don't
well, then 1t will become necessary to
organize another huge opera unit and
give competition.
Whereupon, the question rises
Could the Met stand competition?
There's no secret that this Is the
operas toughest season. Almost

GERMANY Gets Business

Germany Gets Business
Germany's favorable trade balance
following the granting to her Of a
debt holiday is certain to raise in the
minds of many here and abroad the
question whether in granting Ger
many a moratorium the other powers
did not give her an undue economic
advantage at time when all coun-
tries are starving for business.
1t would not be strange If the leui-
ent creditor should become suspici-
Gus and envious upon finding the
debtor apparently happier and more
prosperous than himself. Nor is :,
pleasant for the conqueror to FIND
the vanquished in happier state.
Germanys excess Of exports over
imports is not, however, the result OF
the suspension of reparations pay
inents, which would tend to increas:
imports by releasing money for trade
purposes and improving German
credit abroad. The moratorium put
Germany in a better position to bu;
American goods without giving Ger.
man exporters an advantage over
American competitors.
Germany's gains in world trade
argue for more enterprise and effort
on the part of American exporters
Why are American exporters not get.

after?

LaWlesS LIQUOR Trade

-
It Is announced in Chicago that
the Congregational Education So
ciety is going to conduct campaign
to make people more generally FAM
iliar with the fact that the liquor
trade consistently and flagrantly
violated the law before the passage
Of the prohibition amendment; and
this, both for the dry and the wet, is
a perfectly sound and sensible cam
paign.
There Is no question at all thnt the
liquor trade brought prohibition on
itself. It made itself such an offense
that it persuaded millions of citizens
that it ought to be suppressed out
right, and the fact should be remem-
bered.
Right now there is certainly room
for two schools of thought about the
success or failure Of prohibition.
But nothing will be gained by ignor-
ing the manifold problems which the
old regime contained. If new solu-
ton to the liquor question is to be
found, the lawlcssness of the old-time
liquor trade must assuredly be taken
into account.
