The horse may be making comeback in the world. but up in Canada at the an- nual horse fair in Quebec one animal was bought for 5 cents last week. Another was traded for a pair of mittens. while still an- other went for a watch. The average. ask ing price was $20 with only $3 being offered. Notwithstanding this we think the horse still remains the noblest of the do- mestic animals.

A Stable Dollar

Currency becomes live issue again. There is vast volume of argument about dollars-dollars that are dear and dollars that are cheap, dollars that ring true and odlars tht presumably would sound like lead when Tipped onto the marble slab at the teller's window. And to the mind of the average citizen it is very confusing. A by stander may be pardoned for stepping out side of the present arguments that fill polit- ical speeches and financial columns and ask ing. What is sound money? What is hon. est money?"
 There are still. here and there, people who hold that really honest dollar would be dollar which, as nearly as possible a- ways bought the same quality of commod- ities and services, the same practical satisfac- tions of life, regardless of economic changes. Such dollar would mean as much to lender or borrower when it was paid back as it did when 1t was borrowed. Thus there would be no robbery of either creditor or debtor class by violent fluctuations in the value of the dollar. Neither would there be such violent disturbances of com modty and real estate values as there arc with the present system. in which the pur- chasing power of the monetary unit is all ways varying
 There is an old name for such theoret ical dollar Economists have referred to it as an absolute standard of value We have absolute standards of linear measure ment, weight. etc. they say; why not of eco homie values The ideal may be unattain able. but that is not proved. It is curious thing that in a time when monetary stabil ity is so greatly needed, there is no discus sion at all of this question of stable dollar

NANKING, China, Jan. 80.
The government issued a
declaration tantamOunt to de-
claring war on Japan today,
and proclaimed a policy of
armed opposition to further
Japanese attacks.
General Chang Kai-Shek, for
mer president, simultaneously is
sued a manifesto calling on COM
manders and troops throughout the
nation to take cp arms in defense
of the country.
General Chang Kai-Shek'S call
to arms Said
Although have retired, I am
prepared to die with my military
comrades. When ordered, L shall
proceed into the fighting line"
The former president, and leader
of the original Cantonese revolution
in 1927, dramatically declared he
rather would be crushed than live
under present conditions in his

Tense force.

ted 100000 to the defense fund.
Lo Wen-Kan, assuming Office as
new foreign minister in the reorgan-
lied national government, declared
that Japan's action in invading

The Chinese press was unanimous
in declaring that the Shanghai
crisis threatened to precipitate a
world war unless quickly solved. The
press supported the governments
policy Of armed opposition.
A week ago General Chang Kaj-
Shek still held to his policy of
peace at any price but public
sentiment forced him to resume his
role as the chief military leader in
China and idol of it's millions.
General Chang, in his call to
arms, told his men he would rather
