Ambassador Debuchi.

Associated Press dispatches from
Toxic state that Ambassador Deoucn1 Is
mt exnected to return to the United
states after the leave OF absence on
which he is about to embark. These

restions during the past few monthS

Winter. It was not easy for any repre-
sentative of Nippon to face the hostile
music which her militarist policy pro-
voked. Mr.. Debuchi. as a loyal ana
conscientious enissary OF his govern
ment was tactfully sleepless in the ell
fort to place the best possible consrruc-
ton on that policy at washington.
Word from Toxic indicates that the war
lords now in control of the imperial
government feel that his diplomacy was

the plank in consequence. They would
be more consistent If they decorated MI.
Debuchi with the highest order Of the

MANY Americans who enjoy the stocky
little Ambassadors confidence have the
impression that he does incline IN the
direction of that enlightened foreign
policy with which the name OF Baron
Shidehara, one Of Mr., Debucms
predecessors at Washington. is associ-
ated. The Shidehara school of thought
while abandoning none OF Japans
aspirations to be acknowledged as the
Far Easts foremost power. would have
Japan enact that role with due respect
for Chinas sovereign rights, fG Che

Efficient Gang Law.

Another case of the efficacy Of gang
law Is furnished by Pittsburgh, where
three racketeers, brothers, recently re-
moved to that city from a less popu-
lous sphere of operations, were moved
down by the bullets Of firing squad
of their enemies, who trapped them In
a restaurant. The job was swiftly and
competently done. The three men were
caught unawares and before they re-
allied their peril they were slaughtered,
one living only long enough to run
to the street, where he was given a
finishing shot. The killers then step
ned into a motor car, waiting with its
engine running, and we're gone before
an alarm could be sounded. The city's
police superintendent Immediately sent
SQUADS of policemen and detectives into
the district with orders to round up
the gunner, declaring that Pittsburgh
will not tolerate such proceedings.
A record of the gang reprisals that
have occurred in this country during
the past decade would make long

representation at national conventions
when its residents cannot vote in the
presidential election?-A. o.
A. Despite the fact that the District
Of Columbia, the Territories and de-
Tendencies do not vote In the national
election, the fact that many influential
men do reside in these parts influences
the leaders of the political parties to
accord the courtesy Of representation at
the national conventions.
@. What causes a swimmer to get
cramp?-A. N.
A. The Public Health Service says that
cramps are due to spasmodic contrac-
tions Of the muscles of the abdomen or
legs. 1t is usually felt that specific
contractions which produce cramps may
be due to chilling or prolonged exposure
or prolonged exertion.
@. How much higher than Pixies Peak
Is Mount Whiney?-B. A.
A. 1t Is 386 feet higher. Pixies Peak
has an altitude of 14.110 feet, and
Mount Whitney, the highest peak in
continental United States, IS l4,4s6
feet high.
@. What authors of novels have won
the Pulitzer Prize?-G. B. j.
A. 1913, Ernest Poole, His Family;
1919, Booth Harrington, THE Magnifl-
cent Ambersons"; 1920, no award; 1921,

Barnes, Years Of Grace" and 1882,
Pearl S. Buck, THE Good Earth"
@. How was the land formed upon
which Venice is built?-H. L.
A. Venice Is at the head Of the
Adriatic Sea, between the mountains
and the sea. The whole Of the plain
has been formed by the debris swept
down from the Alps by rivers. In the
process Of time some Of these banks, as
in the case of Venice, raised themselves
above the level Of the water and became
the true shore line, while beyond them
lay large lagoonS formed undoubtedly
by fresh water brought down by the
rivers and partly by the salt water
tide which found its way in at the
channels of the river mouths. On
group Of these mud banks about the
middle of the lagoon stands the City
of Venice. The soil is an oozy mud
which can only be made capable OF
erecting buildings by the artificial
means Of pile-driving.
@. How many bills did President
Hoover veto in the last session Of Con-
gress?-D. M
A. Seven. None of them was passed
over his veto.
@. Who invented our figures?-W.
G. N.
A. Our present system Of numerals
was derived from the Arabs in the
twelfth century and therefore the nu-
merals are still referred to as Arabic
numerals. These numerals have changed
considerably from the time Of intro
duction. They assumed a form approx.
imately like that of today at the close
Of the fifteenth century.
@. What cities have the least dust?
Il. S.
A. About five years ago q survey
was made and it was found that Bos-
ton, San Francisco, New Orleans, Dem
yer and Washington, D. c., showed the
fewest dust particles per cubic foot
of air.

Higghlights on the Wide World
Excerpts From Newspapers of Other Lands

absence Of any exploitation for purely
natlonalistic advantages.
North America has found in South
America, for example fertile fields
for the investment of North American
capital. South America has found in
North America the capital which has
enabled her to develop her incalculable
resources, making them profitable both
Tor their owners and for their de-
VeloperS. Each continent has found
what it most needs-one profitable in
vestment, and the other the monetary
S1neWs and scientific cooperation in
dispensable for the proper improvement
of our territories.
These circumstances show conclu-
sively that the great Anglo-American
republic of the North has no less a
dependence upon her small sister re-
publics of the South, than those small
oemocracieS OF South America have
upon their glorious prototype and de-
lender. And thus, Pan-Americanism
mas been born of the very necessity
and righteousness of these relations
Mutual confidence is the foundation of
this common helpfulness, and it is most
ferVently to be hoped that this con-
hdence between the nations of the
Northern and Southern Continents will
never be weakened.
At present this confidence is threat
ened-in both quarters. The United
States desires repayment of loans con-
tracted by us during the times Of abb
normal initiation. South American
countries, and perhaps our own in par
ticular, feel that concessions and re-
bates should be made in the matter
of these obligations. If we were in
tluenced to our own detriment by the
infectious optimism of that country, and
did not look far enough into the fu-
ture, whose fault was that? The United
States never loaned us more money
than it was thought well for us to
have. Our credit was highly esteemed
by North American flnanciers, and we,
in turn, had full reliance in their
judgment. But it seems that the
financial vision of the United States
was very decidedly out of focus.
1t would be a very serious blow to
Pan-Amercanism if we now discover
that the United States is not able to
solve the difficulties of the commercial
crisis except upon the basis of added
burdens to the other nations of the
New World
