Too Many Apples.
From the Morgantown, w. Va. Do,

From the Morgantown. W. Va Dominion.
They used to tell us in economics
about the apples. about how the first
one tasted mighty good to the hungry
man, the second one was still good, the
third one was less so, the fourth and
fifth still less good and the sixth one
was just an apple and not such a good
onei at that
Although 1t has nothing to do with
economics, something of the same prin-
ciple is applicable to present day music.
We had been wondering, of late, why the
old kick" in listening to music was no
longer present, why it had to be some
thing superlatively good before things
began running up and down the spine
The answer came. 1t occurred to us
that just about every place we 20 any
more radio, phonograph or some SINH
lar instrument Is booming away un-
ceaSlngly. A year or so ago that sort OF
entertainment was much to our liking,
because we had some election as to the
times and places when and where we
wished to commune with the muse.
Now there Is no choice. Somebody's
sweetheart is being bid goodnight all
the time while We are breakfassing,
lunching or dining. The good
process seems interminable. Quite
frankly, We are becoming bit annoyed

and for confidence in the future"
But is the present the time for this
movement? The Dayton Daily News
concludes: More and better homes
America has right to plan for and
demand. But for the present to talk
OF new houses for the people is
substituting of the far problem for
the near problem. What can the hous-
ing conference do to enable the people
70 occupy the houses We already have?
Ihat IS the pressing present question.
Neither President Hoover nor any one
else can make a nation of home owners
until he has made a nation whose
people have an income to permit them
to pay for homes"
DO people want homes or apart
mentS?' is another question being
raised. The Chicago Daily News con-
tends: I'm the opinion of many students
OF the housing problem, there is a larger
unSatlShed demand for low-rental city
apartments than for individual sub
urban dwellings" The TeXarkana Ga
zette is of the opinion that wage earn
ers who live in big cities probably will
continue to be occupants of flats and
tenements because high realtv values
preclude ownership on the part of per-
sons OF moderate means. and few of
them have either the desire or the
time to become commuters"

ing Is one of the primary necessities

turned the Nationalist capital into a
bedlam, with all semblance Of order
fiouted and annihilated.
Lin Yen, chairman of the Legislative
Assembly, who became acting President
in Chang Kai-Sheks place. seems to
have re-established a vestige of au-
thority but whether it extends beyond
the compound of his own official quar-
ters is seriously to be doubted. Far
more certain Is 1t that the embers of
disintegration are aglow all over the
sprawling realm which the outside
world calls China, converting its terri
tory and riches into fair game for war
lords. bandits and foreign powers.
Dispatches narrate that the rioters
at Nanking were Communists fired into
fury against Marshal Chang Kai-
Shek's regime for refusing to lead
China into the shambles which q war
against Japan would constitute. The
student elements resent the supineness

matter Of fact, for long time and for
variety Of causes. The detection OF
the Cantonese, who for many months
have maintained an independent gov
ernment in the south under the leader
ship of men like Eugene Chen and
Wang Ching-Wei was development
which threatened ultimate disaster to
Chang Kai-Shek and his supporters.
The Cantonese were negotiating with
Nanking for united China" govern
ment, but refused to deal with any
Nationalist group headed by President
Chang Kai-Shek. Now that he has
been toppled from power. the South
erners may try their luck at putting
the sinking Chinese junk of state on an
even keel again. Mention is heard that
DR.. Chu Chao WI, lately Chinese Min
lister to the United States, who quit
Office last Spring in protest against the
Marking authorities, is to become for
eign minister. His accession would de-
note the ascendancy of the Cantonese
for how long it would be venturesome
to predict.
1t was inevitable that an event so
portentous as the severance Of Man
churia from Chinas domain-for ia
panese domination of the province
means little less than that--Would
sooner or later produce critical conse-
quences. If China were country and
a state in mems ordinary conception Of
those terms, she would, of course, have
resisted the japanese by force of arms.
Cruelty dismembered by internal strife,
lacking in any form of central govern
ment capable of welding nationwide
authority, economically paralyzed-with
such handicaps China seems helpless
to do aught but surrender to the forces
of lawlessness which yesterday terror
lied government out of Office. If
some god from a machine-a Ii Hung

Vat Sen-were to descend upon the
country he might save the situation.
Only Chinese strong man can do it.
