4 TENSE SITUATION

While guns roar death to soldiers of
" both armies, but mostly TO the Chin
ese each side attempts to blame the
other for the first hostile act in what
the japanese war office blatantly in
sists is merely a 'tense Incident
1t IS not war, the japanese say. but
merely correetiOnary measure to i'm
press upon the Chinese the rudiments of
a lesson not to interfere with their little
yellow brothers from across the channel
in their efforts at expansion and devel-
opment.
In Russia troops are mobilizing-iust
in case the incident becomes so tense
the Red Bear is involved. japanese
troops are sweeping across the northern
Manchurian province, occupying cities and
disarming the Chinese so no resistance
will be possible.
After smouldering for many years in
the possessive breasts Of the little yellow
men, ambition apparently has broken its
bounds and is looking toward China for
room to expand. Cooped on their small
island, the Japanese are crowded into a
territory hardly large enough for am
bition that has followed the path of
western development. An island nation,
the japanese apparently feel they
should extend their holdings to the main
land.
China, sluggish and sleepy, is the ma
tural victim of the little islanders.
Whether Japan is to blame in the mat
ter at hand is something apparently
known only to Japanese and Chinese Of
ficals 1t hardly seems the weaker
nation would provoke its stronger broth
er to armed resentment, and China is the
weaker nation.
The Oriental situation, while regret
able in itself, will have one saving fact
or 1t may demonstrate in fact the
strength Of the League of Nations-a
body which never yet has undergone an
acid test, and which has been the OBJ
iect of much controversy because of this.
Many prominent statesmen believe the
League will do nothing in the battle be-
tween China and Japan, except per-
haps, send note.
Japan has already sent its note to
China. That note carried with it blood
shed and destruction, and said in effect
"you must not interfere with our eXpan-
sion through your provinces, or we Will
take measures to make you sorry"
And China, the nation with more
wealth of men and resources than any
other country in the world, fights back
only half-heartedly.

UNCLE WTGGILY'S COOKIE
CAKES

Once upon q time, when Uncle
Wiggily hoped into the kitchen Of
his hollow stump bungalow, he saw
on the table some eggs, sugar, flour
and tin pan.
oh, no" sad the rabbit gentle
man, twinkling his pink nose. i
see what is going on here. Nurse
Jane is getting ready to bake some
cookie cakes"
This was true enough, for when
ever the muskrat lady housekeeper
made cookie cakes she always put
on the table some flour, sugar, eggs,
a tin pan and all things like that
But where is Nurse Jane?" asked
Uncle Wiggily, speaking TO himself
as he often did when there was no
one else to whom he could talk
II think she must have gone out
for a little while Well, III give her
q jolly surprise
Mr.. Longears looked out into the
yard and there was Nurse Jane

lady from down the street.

Il this bag on my back?'
"Bores. perhaps" sad Uncle Wig
gily.
No. not bones" barked the dog.
I have q lot OF little toy wagons
IN this bag. Toy wagons for little
animal boys and girls.
That's nice" said Uncle Wiggily.
I will buy a lot Of your toy wag-
ons and give them to my bunny
children
Alas. no. cannot sell them to
you, barked the poor old toy ped
ler dog.
Why not?' asked Mr.. Longears.
Because. 3" answered the dog. the
toy wagons have no wheels on them.
! had Cnly enough money to buy
wood TO make the bodies of the toy
wagons. I could not afford to buy
any wheels. And since the toy wag-
ors have no wheels on them no one
will buy them. SO I can't sell them
end I am getting more and more
poor every day"
Just ther Uncle Wiggily gave a
loud shout.
What IS the matter?' barked he
toy wagon pedlor dog.
My cookie cakes! My cookie
!. cakes that I baked for Nurse Jane!
fcried Uncle Wiggily. I forgot al
h bout them and they are burned as
hard as wood in the oven" He
aspened the stove door and, surely
enough, the nice cookie cakes were
burned hard and black.
Too bad Too bad!' said Uncle
Wiggily. Look at them!" and he
Knocked one Of the round cookie
cakes on the table. 1t made a
ssoHld like a drum. NO surprise
now for Nurse Jane said Mr..
Longears. She Will laugh at me
because I thought I knew how to
bake cookie cakes. But I let them
burn and now they are no good. .
yes, they are good!' barked
barked the toy pedler dog
Good for What?' asked the rab-
bit.
~They are good for making
wheels for my toy wagons said
the dog, laughing now and hap
py. So ne fastened the burned
cookie cakes on the toy wagons for
wheels and sold them, every one.
So it was o. K.

WRITING on THE WALL

GERARD SWOPE'S program for the
" stabilization of industry. outlined in
his recent speech before the National
Electric Manufacturers Association in
New York, simply proves once more that
no one on earth can be quite as radical
as the big business man.
Head of one of the largest industries in
the world, SWope plunges boldly into
series Of proposals that would sound
teartully Soclalistic, not to say subver-
SlVe, II they came from a politician
10 group the industries of the nation
into gigantic trade associations under
the friendly supervision of the federal
government; to provide for every worker
LIE insurance, accident insurance, un-
employment insurance and pension
system that would enable each worker
to retire at 70 on half pay; to give
workers and the general public con-
trolling voice in the administration of
these schemes-thiS, surely is as radical
a set of suggestions as any one could
ask.
Nevertheless, this, or something like
it. will undoubtedly be put into effect
in the not too distant future. SWope him
self asks, Shall we wait for society to
act through its legislatures, or shall III
dustry recognize its obligation to its en-
ployees and to the public and under
take the task?'
One thing or the other must be done
The American public is in no mood TO
let the experiences of the past two years
be duplicated a little later on. Purblind
industrialiSts can emit gasps of horror
about governmental Interference and
the dole" until they are hoarse; Swope
has indicated the path they are going to
follow, and they might as we'll recog-
nize the fact.
Of course, putting a program of this
kind into effect would be an enormously
difficult Job. But since when has Am
erican industry SHE'D away from jobs be-
cause they We're difficult? 1t has been
our boast for two decades that our bus
iness and industrial leaders are the wis
est on earth. Now is their chance to
prove it.
Swope has done much to restore the
ordinary citizens confidence III the in
dustrial leadership of the nation, His
program is radical, to be sure; but radi-
cal measures are ne5i, / and if indus
try cannot evolve them itself it can rest
assured, as Swope remarks, that society
will act, through its legislatures.
An optimist in these times is one who
hopes to marry for money.

Welcome was extended all teach

something about cookie cakes-Or "a

Well, everything seemed to be

the cookie cakes into the oven to

cookie cakes were baked through

Russia ExtOls
Dreiser's Work
In Litera ture e

MOSCOW, Sept. 21 U.P) The
6Otn birthday of Theodore Dresser
recently was greeted in Soviet lit
erary circles with warm eulogies
for his growing interest in COM
munism and the working class.
The impression has spread here
that the American writer is COM
ing closer every day to the Soviet
political viewpoint and there even
have been rumors that he is join
ing the Communist party in the
United States.
A typical article, written by Serge
Dinamov, editor of the Literary
Gazette, concludes:
"A new Dresser is being born.
The American working class ana
our country have new frank
friend, who hands back to capital
ism the fame which it gave him
and obtains it anew from the
world proletariat. Theodore Dreis-
er is on the right road. Forward
and onward, Dreiser"
NJ. Dinamov cites Dreiser's recent
newspaper writings to show that
the great artist became a militant
publcist,' who ever more often
takes up the pen of a journalist
to attack capitalism"
IN the row over Dreiser's journey
to the political left, Soviet critics
have quite forgotten passages in
his book about Russia which strong
~ displeased Moscow.
The International Union of Revol-
utionary Writers cabled Dresser
birthday greetings, I'VE are happy
that we can call you cOmrade,"
their message declared.
