The Garble Sisters on the
Manchurian Crisis
whats all this newspaper talk
about the Sinus-Javanese trouble?"
ITS sumpin' about a place called
Manchuria."
Where's Manchuria?"
"All I know Is that it's some
country Sir Hubert wilkins tried to
20 under In q submarine called the
Akron"
Didn't I read sumpin' about
America butting in on the argu-
ment?.
Sure you did. Secretary Slim
son has told Mahatma Laval that
Japan must stick to the gold stand
ard and let the Chinese solve the
unemployment problem her own
way"
There's danger Of a big war.
amt there?'
The head Of the japanese War
Department, a Teller named Ken
kichi Hitler. flew over the Chinese
front and dropped bombs on the
peace conference at two points.
Kai Chang BRAND is all upset over
it and has told Mr.. Hoover that
unless we come in there can be no
permanent settlement Of the Indian
problem"
Whats the League Of Nations
doing about 1t? Anything?"
The League of Nations has been
holding all-night sessions for weeks
and Is split on a course Of action.
Walter S. Clifford, secretary to the
League, thinks 1t Is none Of the
leagues business, while Judge Sea-
bury is for taking a firm stand and
telling both China and Japan that
unless they settle the row peacefully
they will ask for a writ of habeas
corpus on the ground short selling
is strictly illegal no matter what
country does IT,"
How did the troubles start, any
how?"
I'm not certain but I think Man
churia refused to raise railroad
rates. That caused some hard feel
ings, and then Bernard Shaw had
to come out with a long statement
indorsing Mahatma Gandhi and
saying that under his dictatorship
Russia was doing great and that
the five-year plan would be a sue
cess, regardless Of whether Alfalfa
Bill Murray opened the oil wells
again or not"
Then what happe-ed7"
We'll, they might still have
avoided any real shooting II they
hadn't mobbed Sir Oswald Mosley."

Mosley?"
1T came out in the testimony,
before Judge Wilkerson that he
wore silk underwear and paid S23
for his shirts with monogramS on
the cuffs"
But what right has Wicker
sham to interfere?"
"Who?"
President Wickersham OF the
United States"
You mean Hoover"
Il thought it was Wickersham.
I haven't read the papers much
during the last few days"
We'll, Mr.. Hoover bases his ap-
peal 10 the League OF Nations on
the fact he IS against the dole"
What's the dole?"
The dole Is a railroad that runs
between Muknen and Muscle
Shoals"
Well, how does it look to you?
Will there be WARP"
only one thing can stop IT,"
What's that?"

national situation just now. You
