The Shanghai Bomb Outrage

Whatever his nationality, which
seems still undetermined, the man
who threw hand grenade into mill
tary reviewing stand at Shanghai yes
terday, seriously injuring a group of
high japanese officials, has rendered
the cause Of peace in China small serv-
ice. The immediate effect Of the epi-
sode has been the indefinite postpone
ment of negotiations for the evacua-
ton Of the Shanghai Chapel region by
the japanese Army. Dispatches report
that all the work of reconciliation so
far accomplished may be undone by the
murderous affair on the Hongkew pa
rade field.
The aiming of the bomb at the ex-
act spot where the Japanese Minister to
China, the two principal commanders
c. the Japanese Army and the COM
manding admiral of the Japanese feet
were grouped and the fact that the
missile actually struck those shining
marks indicate that the attack was the
work of a superpatriot bent upon
wreaking vengeance for current events
in China. 1t was a distinctly political
crime.
Compassion with the victims does
not obliterate the conviction that vio-
lence Of this sort is invited by condi-
tions at Shanghai, not only Of the
recent past but Of the present hour.
1t is exactly three months this week
since the japanese invasion Of the area
set in. Notwithstanding the cessation
Evening star., 1932-04-30

of hostiities, after weeks Of bloodshed
and laborious peace efforts by the
League of Nations and the United
States, the Japanese still occupy the
territory which was in dispute. On one
ground or another they have refused to
withdraw from it.
1t is easily imaginable that some
overweight zealot, resenting the con-
tinued presence of the invader, found
that the limit of patience was reached
when the japanese Army ventured to
parade across Chinese soil in honor of
the Emperor Hirohito's birthday. The
function is doubtless a regulation pro-
vided for by Nippon's military code.
Under the critical and delicate circum-
stances under which yesterdays review
at Shanghai was held it savors of pro-
vocation which, if discretion were the
better part Of japanese valor, might
well have been avoided.
The possibilities of the bomb incident
are disquieting. 1t will be remembered
that Japan undertook the Shanghai
expedition, among other reasons, be-
cause some Shinto priests, pursuing
their peaceful occupations, were attack
ed by Chinese ruff1ans. The Man
churian adventure last September had
its inception in the assassination of
a Japanese military officer. 1t will not
be surprising if the bomb outrage at
Hongkew become new pretext for ter
ritorial or military reprisas.

Reorganization by Order.

The House. in Committee Of the
Whole, made up for a good many sins
OF omission yesterday when it ap-
proved the general plan advocated by
the President for executive grouping,
co-ordinating and consolidating Of ad-
ministrative agencies Of the Govern
ment according to major purpose. 1t
would be impossible now for anybody
to estimate the savings in dollars and
cents to result from the plan. And
the House and Senate are yet formally
to approve the principle. But the ex-
perience Of House leaders In trying to
effect governmental economies should
by now have convinced even the most
doubtful of the fact that no reorgani-
Zation is going to amount to row of
pins unless somebody is given extraor-
dinary power, even dictatorial power, to
order done what must be done.
AS approved by the House yesterday
the President is not by any means
given dictatorial powers. The Congress
retains veto power and the President
is hedged about with number Of
SHALT nots" tending to curb even the
amount of authority requested. But
should the scheme, as approved yester-
day by the House, likewise be approved
by the Senate, a foundation is laid for
constructive reorganization that other
wise is lacking.
AS for the success of the plan now,
much depends upon the ability of the
President to follow up Immediately with
the first of a series of concrete recon-
mendations for regroupings and con-
solidations in time to apply some of
them during the next fiscal year.
These recommendations may be ap-
proved by affirmative action of House
and Senate, or they may be approved
by the negative action Of letting them
lie in Congress for period of sixty
calendar days. But to accomplish any
thing tangible in the next fiscal year,
the Presidents recommendations will
have to be sent to Congress within a
short time after the Senate has ap-
proved what remains of the omnibus
bill, permitting opportunity for positive
approval. If that approval is not forth
coming, the proposals will have to lie
over until Congress returns after the
conventions-a return that may not
take place until next December.
1t is a misfortune probably realized
only too well by the House leaders that
the work of effecting economies was
not taken up at the outset of the ses-
sion and through non-partisan coop
Grafton between executive and legisla-
tive branches worked out on the prin-
ciple Of readjusting the Federal ma
chine by eliminating overlapping func-
tions and Implications, rather than by
blind chopping and hacking. The fate
of the omnibus economy bill testifies to
the futility of trying to tear down,
through one hurriedly considered bill,
the accumulations of years of slow and
tedious building.

90 Per Cent Cut.
From the New York Sun.

from the New York Sun.
The immigration bill which has been
favorably reported to the House of Rep
resentatives by the Committee on I'M
migration and Naturalization would re-
duce immigration to 10 per cent OF the
quota for quota countries and to 10 per
cent of the number admitted during the
past fiscal year for non-quota countries,
such as Mexico and Canada. In the
case of quota countries such reduc-
ton would bring the annual quota Of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland
down to 6,572, that of Germany to 1885
and that of the Irish Free State to
LBS. No other country would have a
quota over 1000. The alotments of
some other countries would be: Poland,
652; Italy, $50; Sweden, 331; the Meth
erlands, 315; France, 308; Czechoslo-
vakia, 297; Norway, 237; Austria, 14l;
Belgium, 130, and Denmark. 118.
The whole number Of immigrants who
could be admitted under the quota sys-
tenn would be reduced from $4,000 to
approximately $4,000 though no quota
would be less than 100. The number
of immigrants from the Western Hem
isphere would be reduced as sharply.
At the present time strict interpreta-
ton of the law keeps immigration to
such low levels that the alien popula-
ton of the United States is declining
instead of increasing. The recent past
has seen such a double anomaly as
emigration from the United States ex-
ceeding immigration and immigration
into Great Britain exceeding emigTa-
ton. Congress may not feel it neceS-
sary at this time to scale down immi-
grafton quotas sharply, but If it takes
such action, it will be consistent with
the progress made toward more and
more restrictive legislation since 1921.

The New Search Room.

Printed in The Star Of yesterday was
a picture of the search room" of the
Patent Office in the new Commerce De-
partment Building on Fifteenth street,
Had it been accompanied by picture
of the old search room in the building
at the corner of Ninth and streets, a
vivid illustration would have been Rf-
forded of the advantage of designing
the Government structures upon broad
scale. To those who have merely viewed
the new Commerce building from the
outside it has seemed perhaps needlessly
large. To those who inspect it in detail,
and especially in comparison with the
quarters that have been quilted for
accommodations within the new build
ing, it is simply a rational provision of
space for the proper discharge of the
work of Federal administration.
The old search room Of the Patent
Office, where attorneys and their rep
resentatives examined the files to de-
termine the probable patentability of in
ventions intrusted to them for filing and
prosecution, was small, i'll equipped,
poorly ventilated and not we'll illumi-
| mated. In recent years it was always
crowded. The facilities had not been
increased while the business OF the Pat
ent Office had increased many fold
within few decades.
The new search room is a place of
| comfort and facility. 1t is large enough
to accommodate the greatest known
number Of searchers ct once. 1t is
directly in communication with the files,
which are arranged to permit the
readiest possible access. The lighting
is ideal and the equipment is such as
to promote convenient and speedy ex-
animation of the records.
This contrast in the matter of the
one case CT the search room is repeated
in other branches of the administrative
service now housed in the new structure
And 1t will be repeated in the case Of
the other units Of the Governments IS

be not cnly better housed, but equipped
for more effective work in the new
plant than in the old one, which could
hardly be styled plant, so scattered
and so makeshift has it been for many
decades.
The hope is that the economy pro-
gram Of the Government will not
materially check the development of
the building project that is now laid
down. While the sums involved in con-
struction are large, they are being wisely
expended and will bring in a rich re-
turn in better administrative service.
The Patent Office search room, for an
example, is already yielding dividends
to the people of the country through
the promotion of Speedier and surer
work in the research that is the basis
Of all patent granting.

May Politics.

More than a score Of the States,
either by primary election or by State
convention, will in May choose their
delegates to the Democratic National
Convention. The next thirty days there
fore, are likely to spell victory or defeat
for Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt Of New
York, who has been the leading candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
and still fills that role. Rhode Island
leads off, on Monday, a Democratic
State convention meeting to pick the
delegates. The anti-Roosevelt and
Smith Democrats are confident that
With Massachusetts,, Rhode Island voted
for Smith in 1928 when all the rest of
the States outside of part of the solid
South" were voting for Hoover.
Much more of a test for the candi-
dates comes, however, on Tuesday with
California holding its Statewide pri-
mary. There Roosevelt meets the at
tack not only of Smith, but also of
Speaker John N. Garner. The anti
Roosevelt leaders in the Democratic
party are not particular whether the
victory go to Garner or to Smith. They
are insistent that tia victory shall not
perch on the banner OF the New York
Governor California has a big block
of delegates in the Democratic Ma
tional Convention this year, upward of
forty. The "favorite son" candidates in
Texas, Ohio and New Jersey, Garner
White and Moore, will receive their
State delegations without opposition. In
Maryland, too, Gov. Albert c. Ritchie
will have instructed for him the States
sixteen delegates Other States, some Of
which will send solid delegations for
Roosevelt, holding conventions and pri-
maries in the coming month, are Colo
rado, Delaware, Kansas, Mississippi,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennes-
see, Utah, Vermont. West Virginia and
wyoming.
The desperate and bitter fight which
the faction in the Democratic party op-
posed to Roosevelt is making has come
more and more to the surface ip recent
days., Furthermore, the first Raj check

has given the anti-Roosevelt Democrats
their first opportunity to cheer. From
now until the convention meets in
Chicago on June 81 the battle is likely
to be fast and furious, unless, indeed
the Roosevelt bandwa gon movement
fattens out opposition in all the States
which do not have favorite sons. The
Roosevelt opposition is nightly pleased
however, by the prospects in Connecti-
cut, where the State convention Is to
select sixteen delegates on May IS and
II. The Nutmeg State, they insist, will
give all it's delegation to Smith.
President Hoover, who became the
leading candidate for the Republican
nomination in the Spring Of 1928, suf-
fered a reverse in the Indiana primary
that year, where he was defeated by
Senator Jim" Watson. For time it
was thought that the Indiana defeat
might take the bloom of the Hoover
peach. But in the end no such result
arrived. 1t may be said, however, that
while the opposition to President Hoo
yer among the Republicans supporting
other candidates was strong, there was
no such underlying bitterness and per-
sonal animosity as has arisen between
the Roosevelt and anti-Roosevelt DEM
ocrats this year. Feelings are running
high. So high that doubt arises
whether the opponents Of Roosevelt
will not, if b. be the party nominee,
knife" the New York Governor in the
general election. Certainly the Roose-
welt opposition has undertaken to
spread that poison. Gov. Roosevelt, on
the other hand, mindful of the fact
that If he be nominated by the Demo-
Gratis he must run against the Repub-
Iican candidate for President, has re-
Trained from making attacks on his
Democratic opponents.
If not Roosevelt or Smith, then who
will be the Democratic nominee for
President? That is a question which
the Democrats must consider in the
brief interim before the national con-
vention. At present the names of
Ritchie OF Maryland and Baker Of Ohio
spring to mind as outstanding compro-
mise candidates.

No exemptions will be made, and even
