safety, he took a fair share in CONVEX
sation, his colloquial talents were not
above mediocrity, possessing neither
copiousness of ideas, nor fluency of
words. In public when called on for a
sudden opinion. he was unready. short
and embarrassed. Yet he wrote readily,
rather diffusely, in easy and correct
style. This he had acquired by CONVEX
sation with the world, for his educa-
ton was, merely. reading. writing and
common arithmetic, to which he added
surveying at later day.
His time was employed in action
chiefly, reading little, and that only
in agriculture and English history. His
correspondence became necessarily ex-
tensive, and with journalizing his agri-
cultural proceedings, occupied his leis-
ure hours within doors
"On the whole, his character was, in
its mass, perfect, in nothing bad, in a
few points Indifferent and it may truly
be said, that never did nature and for
tune combine more perfectly to make
man great. and to place him In the
same constellation with whatever have
merited from man an everlasting re-
membrance
For his was the singular destiny
and merit of leading the armies Of his
country successfully through an ardu-
GUS war. for the establishment OF its
independence; of conducting its coun-

ment, new in its forms and principles,
until it had settled down in a quiet
and orderly train; and Of scrupulously
obeying the laws through the whole of
his career, civil and military, of which
the history of the whole world furnishes
no other example.

seen that, If the boycott did not lead
to actual hostilities, it would put a
restriction on business, already de-
pressed, that would be as costly to the
major trading powers as to Japan.
The reaction to these thoughts upon
policy in London and Washington Is
easy to see. 1t has been frankly ad-
mitted in Geneva that if America did
! not support League boycott it would
be Intellectual. 1t has been made
equally clear that, lacking American
support, the burden of putting Article
XVI into effect would fall almost
wholly upon Great Britain. In Wash
ington the congressional reaction to
the idea has been promptly and de-
cidedly unfavorable. In London Sir
John Simon, the foreign minister, has
said in effect that the League Assem-
bly, which opened on Thursday would
make every effort to insure that the boy
colt is not prematurely discussed and
that the Assembly is not called upon
to fasten the war guilt" upon Japan.
Strangely enough, DR.. w. w. Yen,
the Chinese delegate at whose request
this session of the Assembly was held,
seems to have been persuaded by some
powerful influence that it would be
unwise to invoke Article XVI and has
announced, to the disappointment of
all the minor powers, which would like
to see it tried out at Anglo-American
expense, that he will not take the
initiative in broaching the boycott.
In contrast to all this, the kind of
boycott to which China has become
habitually addicted is supposed to have
its origin in popular sentiment over
which the government has no control,
to be passive and pacific, to involve
the government in no hostile gesture
toward the nation against which it is
directed and. therefore. to warrant no
warlike reprisals, but to be legally

~ URING the years that have
intervened since President
Wilson sailed away to put his
~ ideas of what international
relations ought to be into
effect at Versailles, the demerits Of wal
as an instrument Of national policy
have furnished theme for more pas
sionate propaganda than any other
non-religious subject.
Events in the East have recently
stimulated an entirely new interest In
this theme; and this interest has not
been confined to Geneva or to diplo-
matte chancellories. 1t has been aroused
in every intelligent community through
out the world, where the obvious risk
of international collisions and compli-
cations at Shanghai has prompted the
nervous question: Are we going to be
drawn into it?"
Whenever the adjustment Of this
Sino-Japanese inbroglio comes, the
terms of it will, therefore, be Of far
more interest than the 1egalistic details
of any previous Oriental feud: for the
reason that there is bound to be very
lively discussion of another instrument
of national policy" which is not to be
found in the indices of the best known
reference books on international law
the boycott.
The boycott will assume importance
because, whether the end of this trouble
is far or near, the Japanese are going
to trace 1t back to its beginnings In the
inevitable dispute over war guilt" In
pointing out the causes of it they are
going to indicate the Chinese boycott,
among other things, as an aggressive
and provocative instrument OF policy
justifying a resort to arms in self
defense.
Additional interest is now given to

Accurate crime statistics should be OF
tremendous value to experts in deter
mining the cause of the prevalence of
particular types of crime as compared
with other types and its effect upon

Analysis and study Of statistics
should enable them to recognize the

or even the decrease, Of certain species

Mexico City Saloons
Show Decline i'm 1881

MEXICO CTTY.-Days of a saloon or
wet goods emporium on every corner
have passed for the Federal district,
Mexico's greatest center of population,
which includes the national capital.
Data of the Department of National
Statistics reveal a remarkable decrease
in the number Of such filling stations"
in 1881, compared with that during the
previous year. The number Of such
establishments, including stores. clubs,
ETC., holding liquor vending licenses
was $500 two years ago. 1t was 1891
last year.
While the department does not COM
ment upon these figures, it is deemed
that the Federal governments anti-al-
coholic beverage campaign and the
tightening of restrictions by the civic
authorities in the matter of granting
licenses has had much to do with lin
iting the number Of places at which the
districts one million residents may
drink. The district now has only 612
saloons and 423 eating places, where
customers can order beer. wine or
liquor.

participation by the States and cities
is wholly voluntary.
Monthly bulletins in which the sta
tistics are tabulated were published un-
til recently, when, for lack of funds,
the decision was reached to issue the
bulletin quarterly.
Director Hoover has given forceful
answer to critics of the bureaus sta
tiStical work in a statement sent to
police chiefs and others interested in
the project
THE need for adequate and compre-
hensive criminal statistics in this coun-
try" he said, has for many years been
a topic which has engaged the minds of
our foremost criminologists and sociolo-
gtsts. When one attempts to delve into
the causes of crime and its effect upon
the economic and social order or
whether ones task be to determine the
effect Of the economic and social order
Of things upon the extent of crime, the
first step to be taken is to determine
how much crime is actually committed.
Experts in such matters have uni
formly recognized the value of criminal
statistics as one of the necessary
factors in accomplishing such q study.

any discussion of boycotts generally
because of the application in the press
of the term boycott" to the measures
provided for in Article 16 Of the
| League covenant These measures are
however, to be imposed upon a nation
that has resorted to war in violation
of other articles of the covenant and is
| therefore deemed to be ipso facto at
war with all other members of the
| League" There is no pretense that
| they are of popular origin or that they
do not put. the governments concerned
in a position hostile to the delinquent
state. They are imposed as a substitute
for war during a recognized state of
war.
The feasibility of putting into effect
these measures providing for the sus-
pension of commercial and financial
intercourse with the nation that re-
sorts to war has been much debated.
Now that there is some slight pros
pect Of invoking these provisions, the
merits of the boycott have come into
and London. 1t is now recognized
that. while the boycott is a blunt in
strument of war, like the maces and
hammers carried by warrior priests and
monks averse to shedding blood in the
Middle Ages. it would almost certainly
prompt reprisals with edged weapons.
1t would. in short, lead to war in the
Pacific, a naval war, with Americas
nearest base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
and Britain's nearest base at Malta,
5000 miles from the theater in which
lie virtually unprotected, the Philip
pines, Hongkong and, on the edge of
it, Singapore.
1t is also recognized that Japan's
first reaction would be an effort to COM
pensate herself in China for the loss
OF world trade, to the discontinue of
all interests there. And it Is clearly
Evening star., 1932-03-06

unassailable," as domestic labor, racial
and similar boycotts are considered in
English law. All of which the jap
anese have latterly claimed the Chinese
boycott was not, and all of which the
American Government once contended
Chinese boycott directed against our
trade was not.
According to Chinese tradition there
Is only one legitimate motive for a
stirring of popular sentiment from the
bottom up, and that Is hunger. For
1000 years and more the Chinese people
have been taught that popular thought
upon political matters is an outrage
against a decent social order. If
their betters, the men of letters who
have taken degrees, and the officials
chosen from among their ranks, can
not the trusted to do their think
ing for the masses, then the
whole Confucian social system is wrong.
If the thinking class becomes too ra-
pacious in an evil generation and thinks
so exclusively Of its own enrichment
that the small commons" perish Of
want, then 1t Is believed that heavens
mandate has been withdrawn from the
dynasty, or central government, If you
like, and that a rising Of the stupid
folk" in blind fury and in a nation
wide orgy Of unspeakable violence,
cruelty and destruction is justified.
The Chinese believe In their social
system and adhere closely to their ira
ditions; so it is almost impossible to
find record of true popular move
ment in their history, from its dawn to
this very moment, with its source in
what we should call public opinion.
Public opinion is made in the yamen-
the official residence; or II public opin-
ion is opposed to the yamen and takes
the form OF non-co-operative move
