Our Duty in This Crisis

Never has the need for cool heads and warm feet
more necessary than today. Inexcusaoe vaciia-
ton in Washington has bungled the Sino-Japanese
situation hopelessly For lack of decision and Of a
program, this country has been Unanswered into an
absurd position.
Absurdity must not be converted into tragedy.
We had an opportunity to cooperate with the
Important sgnators of the nine-power and Kellogg
BRAND pactS when they we're assembled at Geneva
in September, and to join them in demanding that
Japan abide by her treaties.
When our representative Prentiss Gilbert, sat in
with the League Of Nations for few days and 1t
appeared that the United States going to unite
with the other major powers in holding Japan to
her pledges the effect of the cooperation was i'm
mediate. The japanese sweep across Manchuria was
halted in its tracks.
Then Washington weakened In response TO the
howls of the soationsts at home Gilbert was with
drawn from the league sessions.
Japanese militarism, treasured that it was not to
be outlawed went berserk Americas chance to coop
crate for enforcement of peace went by the board.
Today, new conditions govern. Opportunity knocked
our door got response, and passed on. The ma
tionalists of England and France the mtarists and
the scoers at international cooperation seized the
opportunity to deal a knockout to the league.
1t was our duty to cooperate to save the ant-war
pacts. 1t is not duty to become their lone de-
fender. 1t is unfortunate if the rest of the world
is not interested in curbing nation gone mad with
tns lust OF conquest. But it would be more unfor-
tunate for America to attempt the task alone We
are not keepers of the worlds conscience.
Form the start of the Manchuran incident, The
Times has pointed out that Americas interest was
not primarily in the dispute between China and ia
pan, but in preservation of the worlds peace
chinery.
That position we once more reiterate, but Amer
icas interest TO continue must be joint interest,
shared by the other treaty signators The oblga-
tons to uphold those treaties should rest solely
shoulders.
Even though bungling policy in the state de-
partment wrecked the chances of presenting united
front of the Kellogg BRAND pact Sgners against ia
pan, it is too late now to think of that.
The important thing is to recognize that the sino-
Japanese situation has entered phase, with
implications and new elements of danger.
that would have been wise in September might be dis
astrous now.
We are under no obligation to make war to pre-
vent The public will not follow the administra
ton on any steps that lead in that direction
AS believers in democracy for citizens, should
believe in democracy for nations. The majority must
rule. IT. with the United States acting in conSuta
ton with the Others the majority of the signers of
the anti-war pscts later should decide that these
treaties should be invoked against Japan, our duty
would be clear.
Until we speak as a part Of a chorus of nations,
the less America has to say to Japan, the better.

that there is no real destructive
process going on.
An occasional red blood cell In
the material from the kidney ex-
amined under the microscope is not
serious, but large number of red
blood cells indicates some active

study.
One of the greatest discoveries
of modern medical science has
been the development of methods
of testing the ability of the kid
neyS to act These are called renal
function tests.
Special dye substances, that pass
out of the body by way of the kid
ney, are injected and then the fluid
is examined regularly to find out
how long a time may be required
for the material to pass out and
the total amount that passes out
during that period.
These tests are of the greatest
Importance in determining the ex-

MY PRIVATE LIFE WITH ANY
MAN'Sr"
When Walter Winchell goes into
upper case I take it that he means
to point. And is my face red! The
secret which I have been trying to
reveal for years is out at last. In
the game of matching private lives
l would come out badly, whether it
was just one flip or best two out of
three.
I lied when I asserted recently
that my middle initial c. stands
for Campbell My real name is
Haywood Casanova Broun. The
good bishop who christened me
contributed the telltale character
izer He had prophetic vision.
I do not suppose Walter Winchell
refers to anything so ancient as
that little matter about the young
girl in Troy, N. Y. Nor the scandal
with the society matron in Dallas.

A Plea for Mercy

IT is more likely that Walter refers
Il to my debauchery while posing
as an actor. Some of the people
around the theater were harsh and
cynical, but after the first week they
used to whisper together as I
passed, 'Is this fellow Pan or per-
former?"
After my true character became
evident, all the young ladies of the
ensemble came to rehearsals accom-
panied by mothers. One brought
two aunts. At the end of the sec
ond week they had to conscript their
grandmothers.
No, Walter, not my private life!
Be merciful! 1t isn't just ques-
ton of breaking up a home or so.
You must face the fact that a
thoroughgoing Broun expose would
mean a real estate panic on the
island of Manhattan and in some
parts of Brooklyn.

SCIENCE
Summer Camps Are Becom-

IN the Educational Field.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

THE summer camp rapidly is as
L Stunning a place of major i'm
portance in the educational scheme
of the United States.
Educators are recognizing 1t as
the ideal medium for the teaching
of nature lore gardening, astronomy
and general science as well as an
excellent institution for the build
ing of health and character.
There was a time when the great
outdoors was the natural heritage
of every child. 1t probably still is
for the youngster born on farm or
in small village.
But too often for the city-born
child, the countryside is just some
thing to be seen from the window
of an automobile.
For city children, the summer.
camp solves the problem. It gives
them the oppounity of getting ac-
quainted with woods and fields and
brooks.
Hikes build sturdy legs, as well as
knowledge of wild-fowers and trees.
An evening under the stars teaches
astronomy and is good fun in the
bargain.
AS result, the educational world
is turning its attention to the mat
ter OF training camp counselors. For
the success of a camp depends upon
the quality of its director and
counSelorS.

A Piece of Junk

THE point is that we have been
l. sold a piece of junk, an un-
workable, impractical contraption
which, though designed to carry out
a perfectly sound idea, was so full
of flaws and defects as to be in
capable of standing the slightest
strain.
If the peace machine couldn't stop
this fuss in Asia, what could be ex-
pected of it in case of a European
row?
Twenty years ago, the late Will
liam Howard Taft said that the only
hope of world peace lay in a league
to enforce it.
IdealiStS didn't like the thought
of enforcement, and when the time
came to establish a. league, they
just left it out.
The result is that, though recog-
nizing the necessity of a constable
to back up the law in every vii
lage, humanity proposes to make law
for the whole wide world without
any authority to sustain it.

it refers to any protein material,

w cry to save the peace machine,
just as though peace machine
which couldn't take care of itself
were worth saving.
Let's get down to brass tacks. Was
the peace machine created as an
ornament to protect, or as an agency
to do the protecting?

every time the peace machine breaks
down, especially nations that haven't
signed up, wherein lies its advan-

The peace machine broke down

do the job which it was intended to
perform, it will have been proved 8

A New Profession

II ED by Teachers college, Column
IL bia university, colleges and uni
versities throughout the country are
establishing courses to train camp
counSelors as members of "a new
profession of first Importance in the
field of education" Frank S. Hack
EFT, headmaSter of Riverdale coun~
try school, Hudson, N.
Y, declared recently in an address
before the New England section of
the Camp Directors Association at
meeting in Boston.
Hackett, who is president of the
National Camp Directors ASsocia-
ton, said that organized camping.
which now attracts hundreds of
thousands of children and adults
annually in the United States and
Canada, is becoming a definite part
of the American educational sys-
tenn.
Changed industrial conditions de-
mand that leisure be looked upon
as one of the chief arts of living.
asserted Hackett, predicting that the
summer camps would be of great
social significance in the era of
shorter working days which seem to
lie ahead.
The emotional life of the child
Is more susceptible of influence at
camp than at school," Hackett
added. The school year of fortv
weeks, five days week and five
hours a day, for example, comprises
1000 hours.
These usually are spent by chill
dren almost wholly indoors under
a number of different teachers and
supervisors.
I'm the ordinary eight weeks of
camp, boys and girls spend in the
open air over 800 waking hours.
tour-fifthS of the total school time
in close contact with relatively few
counselors.
These, moreover, are not teaching
lessons from books. They are living
with children, participating in their
fun and informally imparting their
standards, skills and personalities.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-01-30
Qualities Needed

HACKETT believes, therefore.
l. l. that the camp rapidly is
becoming an increasingly i'm
portant institution. This is what
makes it so important to find the
right sort of councillors.
Though both in teaching and in
counSeling, personality is supremely
important, it is more so in camp
than in school," he says. 1.-THE in-
fiuence of a poor school is often
counteracted by the home or the
church.
During camp, however, no other
agencies actively enter the ex-
perience of child. He meets onlv
the people with whom he is camp
ing. Within their hands lies power
for great good or i'll.
ASIDE from seeking to find men
and women truly interested in bows
and girls, good camps look for those
who have some knowledge of child
psychology. This is the subject
chiefly stressed in training courses
for counselors.
Physical education is the next
point of emphasis. Unlike teachers.
whose qualifications in individual
subjects rate highest, counselors
primarily must be able to take part
in the life of the physical camp. to
swim, handle boats, play all man
ner of games, hike, camp out and
even to fish and hunt. After these
Skills, come their specialties.
'These specialties enter almost all
the fields of education which are
not stressed in school-knowledge
of nature in all its forms. the
science of camping out, group
music, both singing and orchestra:
first aid. and all the realm of skills
displayed in the Boy Scout and Girl
Scout programs of merit badges.

1914 Over Again
THE civilized world is Sitting

THE civilized world is sitting on
Il about the same kind of a vol
cano that it was in 1914.
Because of what has been said
since the armistice was signed, and
especially because Of present eco
nomic conditions, there is probably
less sentiment In favor of war than
there was then, but there is more
than enough to cause bloodshed if
the right event occurs, and there
is plenty of room for the right
event.
In other words, the peace
machine by which we set such high
hopes has accomplished very little.
The problem is not to salvage it as
is, but to rebuild 1t.

numbering it that can not use

prejudiceS.' If you want TO-, you
may publish this as a contribution

nopSis of the first part. Walter
WincheH is concerned because Hey
wood Broun, the vice cop" has ig-
nored grave charges brought against
him by Burton Rascoe in the cur
rent Detroit CA CO. News.
Here it becomes necessary for me
to interrupt, Walter, in order to
assure you that I might have died
without hearing of these serious
accusations, but for your enterprise
in the matter. OF course I've heard
of the Detroit A. G. and Of Burton
RaScoe, One is a literary club and
the >other an athletic organization.
Mr.. Rascoe declares that Broun
is hypocritical and mot altogether
on the up-and-up" And this, &C
cording to Mr.. RaScoe, was proved
by a column which Broun wrote
denouncing those who made insinu-
ations about Mayor Walkers private
life.
And he did it." writes Rascoe, lin
the most hypocritical way: He de-
nounced the News and the Mirror
with a great show of ethical in
dignation, but he did not neglect to
bring before the World Telegram
readers what the Mirror and the
News were saying-even quoting one
of the most daring insinuations in
the News and holding up the re-
porter who wrote the story to
shame"
But it's simple to answer that,

and it didn't happen. I never dealt

Editor TimeS-It is hard to serve
two masters, as plainly was seen at
the state senate meeting of Jan. II.
Whether they are to serve the peo-
pie or the public utilities can be seen
by the evasion of the. income tax.
Maybe they will proceed, like a few
sister states, by putting tax on to-
bacco and cigarets, or, like Michigan,
a few pennies tax on salt and hops
and bleed the laborer, as usual.
A few laborers lucky enough to
have jobs not only have had their
wager pared to the bone, but are
forced to contribute to every con-
ceivable kind of charity that comes
along, from Washington down to
our state government.
They are protecting the utilities
and money barons and pass the cost
of our unsuccessful government
down to the farmer and laborer, thus
insuring the Republican party
