World CHALLENGED

TAPAN'S course represents a def
y mite challenge to the world, but
the world, with its courts, leagues
and peace pactS, can not expect us
to step forth as it's champion.
Even if we were willing to take
the risk, it would be a mistake.
Any move must be backed by vir-
tually complete cooperation not
only to insure success, but to estab-
lish the right kind of a precedent.
The fact that some nation might
be able to stop Japan means moth
ing.
What we want to know is whether
the civilized world is ready to COM
bine against Japan, not as an
enemy, but as a disturber of the
peace,

foreboding that probably he was
wrong. So great is his distrust for
majority opinion that he can not
bear to have it anywhere but in
front Of him and fighting.
I suppose his tragedy is similar to
that of many of the worlds great
rebels. They set their heart and
soul upon some change in the way
things of the world are ordered and
when they get their wish it is &C
companied by grave disappoint-
ment.
The trouble is that no man can
fight for a cause long enough with
out having the fight itself become
a little dearer to him than the OBJ
jective. He hates to go home and
put on his slippers and sit in front
of the fire. There was more fun
upon the barricades.

Atmospheric Influence

IMPROVEMENTS of the atmos-
Il phere above the ocean surface
exert important influences on the
circulation of the waters of the
ocean," DR.. Vaughan continues.
Radiant solar energy and the
DETECTING effect of the rotation OF
the earth on its axis are largely the
causes of atmospheric circulation,
in a manner similar to their pro-
duction of circulation in the waters
in the ocean, but, since the density
of air is much less than OF water
it is more mobile and, therefore.
it may flow over the surface of the
water and thus drag surface water
along with it.
"The atmosphere also exertS two
other important influences on wa
ter surfaces; one is because OF
evaporation; the other because OF
precipitation.
eff evaporation exceeds precipi-
tation the salinity and, therefore
the density of the sea water is in
creased, but if precipitation ex
ceeds evaporation the sea water is
diluted and its density is decreased
Differences in salinity and tenn
perature cause differences in the
density of sea water. Unequal dis
tribution of density causes unequal
pressures and these produce move
ments of water masses.
''Dynamical oceanographers have
developed methods for computing
the relative motions of water
masses from their densities and the
effect of the rotation of the earth
on it's axis.
Before beginning a survey of the
circulation in the different ocean
basins some features needed for I'M
derstanding this circulation will be
examined more closely"
DR.. Vaughan's views will be dis.

Another Belgium

TINE issue is clear-cut. Japan
a has disregarded treaties as
nonchalantly as the kaiser did.
Shanghai is being made another
Belgium and with less excuse.
Premier Inukai disclosed Japan'S
theory of this entire operation when
he said, "the Chinese are not war
riorS."
Undoubtedly, he has had some
surprises, but let that pass.
Japan set out to compel g weak
people to do what she wanted. Her
course would have been far different
toward a stronger foe.

Knowledge of Oceans Effects
on Weather Conditions
Necessary for Long Range
FOrecasting.
MANY authorities feel that long
Iva range weather forecasting, a
service which would be worth bill
lions of dollars a year to agriculture
and commerce, never will be pos
Sible until we completely under
stand the effect of the ocean upon
weather conditions. Consequently.
studies of the ocean r particularly
valuable.
There are, of course, other rea-
sons why the study of the ocean is
important. For example. it is of th'
utmost Importance to the ishin.
industry.
Many authorities feel that hShin
has been conducted too much upo'
the basis of mining-that is, merel,
tapping a supply wherever it ca
be found.
The feeling is that fishing even
tually must be conducted upon tn
theory of agriculture.
One of the important institution
studying the ocean is the Scrip
Institute of Oceanography, of which

La Jolla, near San Diego, Cal.
In a recent lecture, DR.. Vaughal

TT SEEMS TO ME BY HE EyS,}s

A GOOD many of us, upon hear
N ing that George Bernard Shaw
ran into a ditch, are going to be for
the ditch.
To be sure, the facts about the
incident are meager. According to
the press reports, when he was
called to the telephone today at his
hotel, the noted playwright ex-
pressed annoyance that the news of
his accident had leaked out and re-
fused to discuss it,"
The brief cablegram from Cape
Town, South Africa, does not say
whether Mr.. Shaw was having truck
trouble or whether he skidded under
his own steam and volition. Al
though I never knew until now that
the dramatist was a driver, 1 have
my own theory of the faraway &C.
currence.
1t seems to me that Mr.. Shaw
probably was veering too far to the
right or to the left, although the
highway was open ahead of him.
He always has been a man who
would rather die in a ditch than
face the ignominy of ever being
found in the middle of the road.

The Boycott Trap

IF there were any assurance that q
Il boycott would end matters, this
government might be justified in
making the obvious sacrifice, but no
such assurance exists.
AS Senator Borah intimateS, q
boycott is likely to result in war.
War, if it originated from such a
cause still would find us holding the
bag, particularly if there were no
specific agreement fixing the obliga-
ton of other nations.
The New York World Telegram is
right in pointing out the danger of
walking into such a trap.

THIEF reason for preserving baby

All the twenty teeth that are

To have the second set properly

Steering for the Rims

IF it were true that George Bern
l. ard Shaw had lived a life of
steering courageously upon the rim
of the social order, I think he would
be better liked today. Eccentrics
generally outlast the preliminary
blasts which are directed against
them. They fare better in the long
run than the conservatives.
But sticking to the ruts is not the
only form of compromise. Some
compromisers achieve the effect of
being all things to all men by veer-
ing rapidly from the extreme right
to the left and back again. 1t is the
ziz-zags in the career of Shaw
which have brought him at last to
an estate well below that to which
his ability entities him.
Whether unjustly or not, a deep
damnation has been reserved for the
greatest living man of English let
tiers. People no longer leap to their
feet to applaud him or to shake
their fists in his face. The fire.
brand has ceased to glow.
Many in all camps reluctantly
have set down Bernard Shaw with
in the last two years as n of the
most profound of prominent bores.

Hindenburg Is Germany's Hope

Paul Won Hindenburg, running for reelection as
President of Germany at an age when most men have
been long in retirement, is undoubtedly the senti-
mental favorite in the race-on this side of the At
lantic, at any rate.
But to understand the kind of race the grand old
warrior has entered, it is necessary to realize that this
German election is utterly unlike the ordinary Amer
lean presidential election. Dark clouds hang over all
horizons, and the thunder rumbles ominously. The
road ahead has three forks, and two of the three lead
to revolution and turmoil unspeakable.
The Communists-fourth strongest party in Ger
many in the last election and strongest of all in Berlin
hope to lead the nation down their road. The
NaziS-German name for the F~ascisti-headed by
Hitler, have another road in mind. Won Hindenburg
is all for the third one.
Until recently, the Reds and the Nazis had things
very much their own way. . The Nazis have cloaked
beneath a platform of irresponsible nationaliSm. the
aims of a reactionary big business clique, which hopes
to use the party to crush the labor unions and the
Social Democratic party and to give Germany a die
~tatorship of wealth.
Caught between two extreme forces. the ordinary
citizen at last has begun to organize into a group
known as THE Iron Front" This group draws it's
recruits from the leading Republican organization.
the Reichsbanner, from the labor unions and the
Catholic Center party; and like its opponents it has
organized into a ~semi-military outfit which already
owns a feet of autos, motorcycles, and ~airplanes and
which is prepared to match blow for blow with either
Red or NaziS if it comes to fighting.
The peculiar character of the approaching German
election thus becomes apparent. A victory for either
Reds or Nazis probably would mean civil war-which
in its turn, might mean any kind of catastrophe YOU
care to imagine for the rest of Europe. Only if this
Iron Front" group, behind Hindenburg, triumphs can
the rest of the world breathe freely.
1t Is probably the old soldiers last fight. But it is
one IN which the rest of the world will wish him well.
