NO WAR IN MANCHURIA.

Information contained in recent news dispatches relative to the Japanese-Chnese controversy over Manchuria leads to the conviction that Japan pur- poses permanent occupation of the Province and that none of the powers will interpose with arms to force her withdrawal The trouble will be limited to the two Asiatic countries and it's detarmina- ton seems certain to be favorable to the Tokyo Government.
 Japan justfes the presence of her troops into Manchlria by the fact that her investments there aggregate at least $75OoOo0oO and her nationals number not fewer than 100000, and because the Ranking Government has been in the past and is now unable to protect either from the depredations of native bandit armies
 No doubt, the Japanese covet the country, with it's 363,310 square miles-two and half times as large as their own-for settlement of overflow popu- lation from the island kingdom. Nippon must find some place for her rapidly increasing surplus in habitants She cannot emigrate them to the Americas, in all of which public sentiment is against entrance of Orientals. She must look to Asia for more room; Manchuria is the most avail able part
 China cannot offer effective resistance She is disrupted by domestic dssentons that have persisted for more than a decade. Her military forces so- called are lacking in loyalty, organization and equipment-many of her generals and soldiers can not be trusted to refuse enemy brbes or to refrain rom rObDng ana murQerlnB lneN oWA couHuy- men.
 The aspects do not indicate that Russia will be provoked to oppose Japan. Muscovte territory has not been Invaded nor seems likely to be invaded. Moscow and Tokyo are bent on maintaining a mutual peace.
 Western European countries may indulge in diplomatic gestures to defect Japans course, but none of their peoples will support military demon strations the part of the rulers. Resort to war on the Asiatc front by any European government would invite it's overthrow at home.
 The attitude of the United States has been defined by Charles G. Dawes, Ambassador to Great Britain and observer for the Republican Admins tration at sessions of the League of Nations who said this country would not participate in even an economic boycott to influence Japanese action and by Senator Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas Democratic leader in the upper branch of Congress who declared he opposed to any policy that would inject this Nation into the Manchurian con- troversy.

General Shuts Warning.
Manchester Guardian.)

Manchester Guardian)
 General Shuts, in his finely eloquent Basil Hicks Address at Sheffield last week warned not to be too greatly disappointed if the Disarmament Conference falls short of high hopes. We are asking great deal of a disordered world to eX- pect to surrender the dearest fetish of its past and to give up to the infant League the one solid
 thing that has seemed to stand between the peoples and destruction. Five months hence the economic distractions may be even greater than they are at the moment. We should, therefore, General Shuts argued in effect discount our anticipatiOns and not be discouraged if the advance made appears small What is vital is that there should be halt in the armaments race-progreSsve decreases instead of progressive increases the application to land disarmament of the policy already begun in the naval agreements of the Great Powers. In settling the details General Shuts suggested that the gov- erning consideration should be the securing of a lag, breathing space, between the dispute and its issue in hostilities In extremely interesting historical argument he showed how the state of armed peace, of preparedness for instant war from which the catastrophe of 1914 sprang, is develop ment of the last sixty years If could restore the lag that used to intervene between the call to mobilization and attack should give the machin- cry of the League time for it's operation. Modern transport and industry have changed the condi- tons of mobilization, but there two principal in which may hope to provide automatically for the lag-to secure that ordinary industrial ma chimes, ships and aeroplaneS not converted into military weapons in peace time, and that the manufacture of types of weapon in peace time is strictly controlled The delay can be interposed the opportunity do we give for the peace functions of the League to operate.

Britain's Choice.
Boston News Bureau,


 Were there any stronger nouns in the political lexicon than landslide" and "avalanche,' they might fit what has happened in Britain. The roper cussions of that smashing defeat of a socialism which had so botched things should reach far, in area and in time.
 The count itself is, as Mcdonald said, "astound- ing" Of the 6l5 seats in Commons only 51 seats were salvaged by Labor, plus Lloyd Georges four as against the pro- Government sweep of 542 (of which the Tories themselves get 464), out of 597 lso far counted Equally remarkable was the uni verSa swing of majorities by districts Of as many thousands against Labor had been for it. Obviously the average Britisher, male and fe- male, whose pay whose dole had been cut, helped most to swell that great poll. They chose those cuts rather than collapse of their country s credit however dimly they sensed that threat. An emergency called, they answered.
 It was not choice of parties issues much as trust in character in emergency which spoke. Socialism had twice appeals to dscontent; ment-for it's failure in crisis which it's own neptitude had done much to create It had nearly wrecked the sacred pound which other strong hands given the mandate to sustain. The reSoute putting of the national house in 1 good order again is what that mandate amounts i to- with authority of the most complete sort given by the whole people to the trusted hands undertaking the task however drastic may be the measures they take.
 When that prime task is attended to, the reali- tes of British politics may show plainly The figures clearly suggest the Conservatives right then to take the helm. Baldwin may steer then; other honor, in India Washington may well go then to MacDonald-who true in the test. Meanwhile first fruit of the new order may soon ripen in that great historic noveltya British taiff, plus preference.

dates. Of a popular vote of TO- 900, Smith received 10000.
 Panic Sweeps Country
 The new administration was but scarcely three months old when the panic of 1907 swept the coun- try and although Georgia suffered silently in comparison with some sections, the futur eva snot paint ed in golden colors. The railroad question then precipitated a dis agreement that ended in a row.
 Joseph M Brown was the only one of three railroad commission CTS to vote against the reduction of intra-state passenger rates, a piece of legislation dear to Governor Smith. AS a result, the Governor removed Brown.
 In the spring of 1903, Governor Smith became candidate for a second term. Joseph M. Brown the discharged commissioner, was the opposing candidate.
 Brown and Bread
 With slogan, Brown and Bread" the opposition carried on a determined campaign and at the primaries in June, 1908, Brown was nominated, receiving in round num- bers 1O9 GOO votes to Smiths 5000.
 The state dates the present sys- tenn of disposing of her labor of convicts from the last year of Gov ernor Smiths first term. After 9 series of revelations of abuses un- der the lease system, Governor Smith gave notice he would veto any bill renewing the convict lease and finally called an extra session of the legislature to end it. This was successfully accomplished and 5000 convicts were put to work on the public roads of the state.
 The law held Smiths attention for only a few months. Toward the close of Governor Browns term, he incorporated in one of his mes sages to the legislature an attack on the policies of his predecessor. Smith accepted the challenge, des- cribed his cause as that of the Progressive Democracy" and made a whirlwind campaign of the state. At the primary, he was nominated by a popular vote of 97,000 to 93,- 900. The convention vote, on the county unit plan, gave him ma iority of a hundred.
 Inaugurated Governor
 His inauguration took place July 1, 1911. Twelve days later the legislature elected him to the Sen ate by an overwhelming majority to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Senator A. s. Clay, who still had four years of service. He continued as Governor until Con- gress met in December.
 Washington remembered him as the member of President Cleve-

same year gained recognition for successfully representing the state in the prosecution of convict les sees. A year later he projected the Evening Journal into a fight that contributed toward seating him in a Presidents cabinet.
 For Tariff Reform
 Smith was for tariff reform and his beliefs led him to support Gro- yer Cleveland in 1888, through his newspaper, and his position as president of the state convention. Four years later, Cleveland was bitterly antagonized in Georgia by advocates of the nomination Of David B. Hill. The Evening Jour nal supported Cleveland with such intensity and success that Cleve- land delegation went to the Ma tional convention. Hoke Smith was a delegate. A year later he be- came Secretary of the Interior.
 His record as a Cabinet officer included one incident that later was to be remembered enthusias- tically by those who desired that he make the race for Governor of his state He alone of the Cabinet stood for the retaining by the United States Government of the ownership of the Union Pacific railroad and it's operation in the interest of lower freight rates be- tween the two oceans. The rail- roads later furnished him a battle ground for one of the most inter- esting contests of his career.
 Was Opposed to Bryan
 In the campaign of 1896, Smith was opposed to William Jennings Bryan and engaged in a series of joint debates with Charles D. Crisp, then Speaker of the House. When Bryan was nominated Smith re- signed from the Cabinet upon learning that President Cleveland and other members of the official
 
 Democratic nominee. Although op- posed to Bryan in the primaries he regarded it as his duty to his party to support it's nominee.
 A large law practice engaged him when he returned to Atlanta. In 1900 he sold the Evening Jour- nal to James R. Gray and for the the next five years devoted him. self solely to his profession. In 1906, the call of politics again drew him from the law.
 Alleged discrimination by the railroads against Georgia cities and towns brought Smith irto the race for governor as a candidate of the opposing forces.
 Of the l45 counties, he carried 122, the twenty-three others being divided among four other candi-

lands cabinet; it formed the &C., quaintance during his first term as Senator of a man the newspapers called the "trust-busting ex-gov- ernor."
 Differed With Wilson
 In 1915, he was reelected to the Senate. The League of Nations fight in the Senate found him at difference with President Wilson. Senator Smiths opposition to the policies of President Wilson car- ried him so far that his name was offered in the Presidential primaries in his state. He lost the fight and when he offered a year later for reelection to the Senate, was deseated.
 His term expired, he took up the practice of law in Washington. He was employed by the government of Peru in 1923 to represent it in litigation involving that country with Chile, work which kept him in Washington much of the time Wade Ellis, of Washington, was as- sociate counsel in the litigation.
 In 1924 he removed to Atlanta, abandoning his private practice in Washington As counsel for the Peruvian government, however, his interest demanded that much of his time be spent in the Capital City.

That platform suggested for the Republicans by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University reads like Democratic than a Republican program. Particularly true is that of the State Rights suggestion Prohibition the tariff re- duction proposal and the simpfcation of the Gov ernment by doing away with huge and wasteful bureaucracy which has grown up at Washington
 If his party should act in accordance with Dr. Buffers plan, there would little use for the Democrats to adopt platform. They might do well to endorse the plan and add multiplication sign
