NOT MUCH CHANGE

Each generation of men from time I'M
memorial has produced its pessimists and
cynics, who have viewed with alarm the
deplorable tendencies of their contem-
poraries.
According to these gloomy individuals
the downward trend of human morals has
always been in evidence, with the skids to
perdition we'll creased.
AS a matter of fact, there has been
little change in human nature since the
dawn of civilization At any time in the
worlds history there have been ample
grounds for pessimism on the part of those
who prefer to look upon the dark side. A
writer in the Boston Chronicle in the year
1900 pictured conditions closely resembling
those of the present day, from the view
point of the alarmist. En- an article en-
titled prices Current he wrote
DEMONSTRATING rapidly.
"Modesty (female)-Quite out of
fashion
National Honor-None on the mar
ket
Public Taxes-In great abundance.
"Religion-No price offered.
public Virtue-A eontraband article;
if discovered would ruin its possessor."
But there was nothing original in the
lupubrious reflections of this writer of 1872
years ago. The same things in substance,
were said centuries before, are being said
today and will probably be said for GEN.
turtles to come.

JAPAN CONVICTED

Findings of the Lytton commission on
Manchuria offer Japan an honorable way
out of the situation while safeguarding her
own interests, and puts flatly up to the
League of Nations the duty of disciplinm8
Japan should she persist in her present
policy toward China and Manchuria.
The report recognizes certain Jap
anese rights in Manchuria but finds that
Japan had not exhausted the means of
peacefully settling its controversy with
China over Manchuria prior to its seizure
of Mukden, that that act was not justified
as a measure of legitimate self defense,
that the State of Manchukuo was created
out of the Manchurian provinces in dis
regard of the wishes of the Manchuran
people and that the steps by which Japan
accomplished the setting up of this state
were of kind which the League of Ma
tons, the Kellogg Pact and the Nine-Power
Washington Conference Treaty were de-
signed to prevent. Thus Japan is found to
be the aggressor against another nation in
a way forbidden by obligations it has UNI
dertaken to respect.
Recommendations of the commission
| include direct negotiation between Japan
and China, autonomy fsr Manchuria while
safeguarding Chinese sovereignty there,
and provisions securing peace and safety
| for Japanese nationals and commercial and
railway enterprises in Manchuria.
There seems NO other way. The pros
| lem will not be solved by return to the
status quo that existed before the seizure
of Mukden, and Japan is no better off now
| than before her rash invasion.

HEIGHTS AND DEPTHS

When the difference in altitude be-
tween the greatest ocean depths and the
greatest mountain heights is considered, it
would appear to the superficial observer
that our earth is rather rough and ir-
regular body. But to giant hand capable
of grasping it, it would probably appear
somewhat like a moist baseball
The deepest known spot in the ocean
is the Mindinao deep, near the Philippines,
with depth of So, 400 feet The highest
mountain is Mount Everest, in Asia. which
rises 29, TAI feet above sea level. Thus the
difference between the highest and lowest
solid surface of the earth is 64.54l feet, or
little more than II miles. Considering
that the diameter of the earth is nearly g.
600 miles, this greatest variation of only
about IL miles on its surface seems almost
| negligible.
So, to the imaginary giant hand referred
to, belonging to an imaginary human being,
proportionately large, and assuming that
such being were baseball pitcher, the
slight roughness presented by these differ
enees In attitude, and the slight moisture
represented by our oceans. would hardly be
sufficient for the effective throwing of a
"spft-baH"
We leave it to our readers to imagine
q giant Babe Ruth and giant bat with
which he could knock US over the moon, or
something. -.
