The New Chinese Soldier

The courage of some of the recent
fighting around Shanghai will prob
ably make some of us revise our pre-
conceived opinions about the capa-
bilities of the Chinese soldier.
Heretofore, Chinese armies had
been considered more or less ineffi-
Gent. The case with which Japan
mopped up in Manchuria strength
ened that opinion. Again and again
the Japanese met armies" that far
outnumpered them, and again and
again they routed them in short or
der.
But the fighting around Shanghai
has been different. The Chinese have
shown a surprising ability to give as
good as they receive, and the job that
the Japanese expected to do in few
days wasn't that kind of job.
These particular Chinese soldiers
happen to be we'll drilled and we'll
equipped. Under such circumstances,
apparently, the Chinese make excel
lent soldiers.

than a dream. Each nation continues

than dream. Each nation continues
to foster the old rivalries. NATIONAL
ism is exactly the sort OF force it was
prior to 1914. The course that led to
war In 1914 is still being followed
and instead of finding new course,
we are trying to persuade ourselves
that everything will be all right If
only all hands will agree to reduce
armies and navies!
And because we are trying to do
the job in that way, the delegates at
Geneva are having a heart-breakingly
discouraging time.
It would be possible to start the job
at the other end. If an honest effort
could be made to straighten out the
map OF Europe; il attempts to get ma
tional advantages at the expense of
ones neighbors could be abandoned:
if some of the damaging restrictions
on world trade could be removed; If
the advanced nations could forget
their scramble for special privileges
in Africa, China and elsewhere-if
all of those things could be done,
then disarmament would be simple.
But we haven't done them and we
haven't. tried to; and, in consequence,
our attempts to get respectable dis
armament treaty face very steep
odds.

Frances Atlantic to Mediter.
ranean Ship Canal
(ScaWay News


In order that the vast interior of
this continent might have access to
ocean ships, the worlds lowest cost
transportation, Canada and the
United States, after ten years of dis
cussion, are soon to proceed with COM
pletion Of the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee Seaway.
But France, on her own account, is
again seriously considering the con-
struction of ship canal connecting
the Atlantic with the Mediterranean,
at cost several times that of the St.
Lawrence Seaway.
The proposal is to construct canal
for ocean ships extending in a SOUTH
easterly direction through the mar
rowest part Of the country from the
Bay Of Biscay at Bordeaux and gen.
orally following the Garonne river to
Toulouse, about tWo-thirds of the way
across. thence leaving the river and
following the present canal system
to Narbonne, on the Mediterranean.
1t. would be $50 miles long with IA
locks overcoming change in alti-
tude of between 60 and 10 feet. The
present estimate of cost is 500 mil
lions. whereas an estimate made in
March, 1881, set the cost at two bill
lions. With toll of 10 francs per
ton on shipping passing through. it
is reported the annual revenue would
pay dividends on the investment.
The advantages of the canal, as
outlined a year ago, may be summed
up as follows:
It would aid in the transportation
Of farm products from one interior
point to another and to either coasts:
Algeria and Morocco would benefit
from direct route into central
France; 1t would shorten the route
from Great Britain and northern
Europe to the Mediterranean and
Suez and India by LOO miles and it
would provide adequate protection
against floods which periodically dev-
astate southwestern France.
The project is but another mile
stone in the history Of Europe which
/ shows that the nations have always
been willing to eXpend many millions
in order that their interiors might
enjoy the benefits Of deep sea car.

Prescription Whisky

When DR.. Arthur d. Bevan, former
president of the American Medical
association, told senate committee
in Washington the other day that at
least 90 per cent of the whisky pre-
scriptions issued by doctors are for
beverage and not for medicinal pur-
poses, he started an argument that
ought to last, with any sort of luck,
all the rest of the winter.
DR.. Bevan estimates that fully 3d..
900 physicians in the United States
make less than $4,000 year. Each
doctor, he points out, is allowed 400
prescriptions year, at SO apiece. AS
he says, this must be quite tempta-
ton to those 10000 who are having
a hard time making a living.
All this is perfectly true; yet to say
that nine out of ten prescriptions
were obtained under false pretenses
is to cas-. something of an dispersion
on the medical profession generally.
The argument, as we said, ought to
last quite a while.

The Truth Will Out

The truth is beginning to come out
Of the camp Of the Jamestown group
which is seeking capital removal.
In propaganda to the rest Of the
state the removalists have raised unc-
tuous voices for the taxpayer. An
effort has been made to give North
Dakota citizens the idea that James
town suddenly was possessed with
concern for their interests. Their
unselfish zeal for the taxpayer has
caused them to seek removal of the
capital to jamestown. Their own in
terests and selfish ends were not even
being considered. In fact, so James,
towns group would tell the state,
there were no selfish interests.
But . letter published in the
jamestown Suns editorial column
lets the cat out Of the bag. It was
written by one J. r. Anderson and
deals with the recent action Of
group Of Jamestown leaders who ex-
pressed opposition to the capital re-
moval effort.
In his last paragraph Mr.. Anderson
says: Personally, feel that James
towns interests should come first
with them
This sentence gives the lie to the
taxpayer" propaganda spread by the
removalists. It exposes the James
town removal effort for just what
it is.

The Impetuous Mr.. Hurley
It will be interesting to note the re-
action Of the nation, if any, to the
recent outburst of Patrick Hurley,
handsome young secretary OF war,
while a witness before the senate
committee considering freedom Tor
the Philippines.
Hurley went to the islands last
summer as the special representative
Of President Hoover and upon his
return made report, recommending
against granting immediate indie
pendence to the Filipinos.
The reasons for this recommends
ton were many and sound but 1T does
seem that Hurley could have ex-
planned and defended them before
the committee without losing his
temper. There seems no good reason
for a display of temper and feeling
such as that given in the committee
room by both Hurley and his in
quisitor&.
Hurley served as an officer in the
World war and his courage is not
open to question, but his failure to
stand up under the verbal barrage
of fellow officers Of the government
speaks none too we'll for his self-con-
troll. Rated as an expert politician,
he evidently forgot the fact that the
tendency Of the country will be to
laugh at anyone, no matter what his
position, who does not keep his head
when under pressure. 1t seems a safe
bet that the incident will lend no i'm
petus to the Hurley career. This as
pect OF the case Is important in view
of the fact that Hurley Is one of the
younger statesmen OF the Republican
party and great things have been pre-
dicted for him.

that-its gross expenditures In the year

Rumania received an ultimatum on
that date from the Soviet government

It was announced that additional

He was crude. He held her 50

She got up from the table and
had begun to say that Solomon
could find another girl to take her
place, one more amenable to his
ideas. when she saw that there was
a small disturbance near the door.
Three men had entered and were
grouped near the ticket booth. The
two in evening clothes plainly
wished to leave but the third, the
one in flannels. just as plainly
wished to stay. Suddenly Ellen saw
