JAPANESE BLIND CHILDREN GETTING OUT OF DOOR

These pictures from Mr. Motoyamas Osaka publication
Japan Today and Tomorrow illustrate the kindness of the
Japanese to young children.
In her modern Japan has amazed the world by the
courage of her men, marching to death calmly they
would pleasant festival before the modern days
when the Samurai (the ''Two Sword Men) did Japan
fighting, the same courage existed.
One explanation of this be put in few words:
THE CHILDREN OF JAPAN ARE NOT WHIPPED OR
FRIGHTENED WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG.
In countries you raise your hand suddenly to
child it will crnge and run, cry out
In Japan you raise your hand to child in threatening
gesture with angry look the child will laugh knowing
that you do it, that you only pretending

have seen assaults by many
powers and have been the scene
of some of the severest struggles
between the Christian world and
the Mohammedan in the form
of the Ottoman Empire. There
are two magnificent harbors
with surrounding Notifications
that bear eloquent testimony to
the stormy past of the island.
At the back Of the Notifications
is the inner city while between
the outer and inner walls is a
huge moat. The walls are mark
ed by huge gateways, each a
witness to historic events.
The walled city today is di-
vided into Turkish, Greek and
Jewish quarters. Palaces and
mosques and slums tumble to-
gether, but the slums are pic
turesque, almost medieval in
their winding, crooked charm.
But whether a palace or a
hut. the proportions are always
striking in their architectural
perfection, a souvenir of the
Greek origin of the place. And
soft sunshine beautifieS even
the oldest, shabbiest and darkest

Every traveller has his or her
own idea of an earthly paradise
and usually when the subject
arises, discussion and argument
wax warm and intense. And
very often one hears of places
off the beaten track that are
gems of beauty and remain so,
most likely because they have
not been trampled down by the
hordes of well-meaning visitors
who try to make every place
drop its traditional ways and
conform to their ideas of civil
lization. Together with many
other travellers, I have frequent
ly cast a vote for the lovely
Island of Rhodes, a gem in the
Aegean Sea. A monument to
the golden age of Greece, it is
now under Italian occupation.
In olden days the Colossus of
Rhodes, the bronze of Apollo
was ranked as one of the seven
wonders of the world. Today,
it's mixture of the ancient and
the modern, side by side, make
it another kind of marvel.

tions were busted? Everything
was.
Then why in heck did this
thing happen? Hasn't anybody
an answer?
Gov. Clifford Pinchot, of
Pennsylvania, has an answer;
and there's no deep dark mys-
terry about it. You dop't have
to understand international
banking, or the Einstein theory,
or any other of the worlds
great mysteries, to get his drift.
It's plain hoss sense, like this:
Wars Aftermath
The war started a lot OF
things; some good, some bad.
Among them, one unprece-
dented thing, big wages for all
the little fellows in America.
Big enough wages so they
could have things that the little
fellows had never dreamed OF
having before - automobiles,
radios, good clothes, houses of
their own. Nice pickings for
the little fellows. They started
spending and how!
Nice pickings for the big fel-
low, too. Never before had he
had such a market for his
goods; and the more goods he
made, the more market he had.
All he had to do was to make.
the things and encourage the
little fellow to buy them; then
automatically, the golden stream
started flowing.
Boom days? I'll say! Little
Fellow and Big Fellow working
together. Little Fellow making
money off Big Fellow through
his wages. Big Fellow making
money off Little Fellow through
his Spending-and how he did
encourage Little Fellow to
spend But that was jake. He
had it to spend. So, whoopee!
Around went the golden razzle-
dazzle!
Extravagant? Sure it was. But
that, alone, wasn't responsible
for what happened. Extrava-
gance, in itself, isn't an unmiti-
gated evil. 1t may land GER
tain idiots in the hole, but AS

rest Of us on Easy Street.
But right here came the
hitch. We were putting money
in circulation, BUT IT WASN'T
KEEPING IN CIRCULATION.
Keen on Spending
Something has happened to
that whirling, golden torrent.
1t was diminishing-narrowing
to a trickle. Why? Had we
grown sick of spending? No, we
were as keen on spending as
ever, and there were just as
many things to buy, and just as
much money in the country to
buy them with. Then why
weren't we buying?
BECAUSE, THOUGH THE
MONEY WAS STILL IN THE
COUNTRY, TT WAS NO
LONGER IN THE RIGHT
PLACE IN THE COUNTRY. IT
HAD PASSED FROM LITTLE
FELLOWS HANDS TO BIG
FELLOWS CKET AND
THERE TT WAS STICKING.
The thing was ironically
simple. Big Fellows prosperity
had been based on Little Eel
lows prosperity. If they could
both stay prosperous the boom
days would go on. But the
sight Of that whirling, golden
torrent had been too much for
Big Fellows greed. Each day
he grabbed off more and more
for himself-gave back less and
less to Little Fellow.
A couple of simple statements
tell the whole story.
IN THE TEN YEARS END
ING IN 1929, REAL WAGES
INCREASED ONLY 13 PER
CENT WHILE THE RETURNS
OF ALL INDUSTRY IN
CREASED 70 PER CENT.
DURING; THOSE YEARS
THE WEALTH OF THE COUN-
TRY BECAME so CENTRAL
lied THAT ONE PER CENT
OF THE PEOPLE OWNED so
PER CENT OF THE WEALTH!
Now remember that wealth
was still dependent upon the
little fellows spending; and if
. they could have gone on spend
ing, the big fellows could have
gone on piling up.
BUT INSTEAD OF HELP
ING HIM TO GO ON SPEND
ING, THE BIG SAPS DROVE
HIM STRAIGHT ON THE
ROCKS.
Pocket the Profits
They decreased his earnings
by pocketing more and more
of the profits. They increased
his obligations by unloading
their taxes on him, inducing
the Treasury Department to re-
peal excess-profit taxes and in
come taxes in the higher
brackets" At the same time
they speeded up production
regardless, expecting the little
fellows to continue to consume.
The little fellows stopped buy
ing. The factories shut down.
The banks went broke. Then
came the crash!

MARRY-GO-ROUND
By Helen Rowland

worked out a practical system
and got her wedding ring.
When a sweet young thing
marries a rich old daddy, the
marriage is bound to sag and
fall to pieces; because both the
love and the money are all on
one side, and there's nothing
on the other to balance them.
There is not much consolation
in knowing that if taXicab,
going against the lights, runs
over you, you are within your
rights, Nor in knowing that if
your husband loses his head
over a blonde, you can divorce
him-and hand him over to her.
A wife, like a radio, should be
chosen by ear, rather than by
eye; because at the altar a man
usually stops looking at a wom-
an, but he can't stop LISTEN
ING to her.

Some Plain
Talking

There we'll may be some
plain talking on the part
the market-minded Admin
istration Of Undertakers
played in creating the con-
ditions resulting in the mar
ket panic Of 1929. The ut
terly false statements given
out to the inexperienced,
under the authority of the
highest offices, to encOur-
age the continuance Of the
widest debauch since the
Mississippi bubble, can prop
erly be resubmitted now by
the Democrats.
The tariff, which has lost
us our foreign markets,
alienated the best customers
we ever had, invited the
retaliation Of other peoples
and contributed to the des-
perate condition of the rail
roads and ocean liners, while
turning factory workers on
the streets, should be dis
cussed frankly in the light
Of it's origin.
Business men did not
want it.
Lea din G manufacturers
did not want it.
Bankers did not want it.
Economists said it would
be ruinous.
Two-thirds of the press
was against it.
And in the beginning Mr..
Hoover did not want it.
But we got it-and why?
Because the inspiring Mr..
Grundy, with an ethical
standard all his own, an
nounced openly that ,he had
collected millions of dollars
from among his kind to
elect Mr.. Hoover; and, hav-
ing paid for something, he
expected the delivery of the
goods. The President ap-
piled the lash and forced
the delivery.

Undertakers has plunged the
American people leaves us
with an Administration
deficit of much more than
a billion dollars. The credit
of the nation is at stake
we are actually fighting to
keep Government bonds at
par. This is the condition
which the Administration of
Undertakers has thrown into
the lap of the Democratic
House. This condition
must be met; and having
taxed everything taxable to
the limit Of reasonable re-
turns, only to find ourselves
$400,000,00O short, we are
forced to the sales tax.
And having met this
problem of the Administra-
ton of Undertakers in the
only way possible or prac-
tical now, the Democratic
House, seeking to save the
credit of the nation endan-
gered by the economic stu
pidities of the Administra-
tion, is met smugly by Mr..
Smell, the Republican House
leader, with this impudent
and utterly demagogic state
ment:
Its my judgment that
Congress should spend more
time reducing Government
expenses instead of spend
ing SO much time trying to
find new sources of reve-
nue."
For three years the Ad-
ministration of Undertakers
spent no time reducing Gov
ernment expenses while we
were rushing into a billion
dollar deficit.

THE President has sent

TIE President has sent
l. Ernest L. Jahncke, AS
sistant Secretary of the
Navy, to Ohio to tell the
people that the human
misery, the starvation, the
collapse of business and in
dustry, the loss of credit, the
loss of foreign markets, are
all due to the fact that II
years ago the man who lifted
Mr.. Hoover from obscurity
outside European circles and
repatriated him was Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Jahncke sneers at the
Federal Reserve system,
which Is not surprising since
the Republicans in Congress
opposed it's creation almost
to a man.
He claims all the credit for
all the things the Democratic
House has done, and implies
that, while the House has
acted wisely. it has been be-
cause the American people,
with unlimited confidence in
Mr.. Hoover and ardently de-
voted to him, would have
risen in wrath had the House
failed to support the Presi-
dent.
This smacks Of the cam
paign m e t III DDS of Mr..
Hoover friends in 1925
the lowest and basest and
most dishonest in the history
of American politics.
Perhaps the time has al
most come for the Democrats
to make reply and to use
plain language in discussing
the heavy contribution Of the
Hoover Administration of
Undert t a k ers in putting
100000 bread winners on
the street, in placing 25,000,-
900 men, women and chill
dren in distress. in creating
the Treasury deficit Of more
than a billion, in destroying
the foreign markets and
turning against us the hatred
Of the world.

The President "Deplored"
These Speeches

~FNSAASS
just now the Democratic
House is reducing the de-
mands of the Administration
of Undertakers in their esti-
mates by millions of dollars.
And it is planning re-
forms in the executive de-
partments-that the Presi-
dent had ignored, despite
his campaign pledge.
Thus far the Democratic
leadership in House and Sem
ate properly has concen-
trated on constructive meas
ures for the relief of busi-
ness. 1t has frowned on
mere attacks, insisted on the
despatch of important pub
lie business with the least
possible delay, and made no
mistakes in judgment or in
method. But in the midst
of it's work the Administra-
Of Undertakers sends forth
it's spokesman, with the
knowledge and approval of
the President, with speeches
soaked with misrepresenta-
tions and falsehoods, handled
for the press by that
Lincolnian figure, Mr.. Lucas,
to discredit the party that
is seeking to wipe out the
Administrations s deficit.
When, after the celebra-
tion of Mr.. Hoover's birth
day-or was it Lincoln s.
when discredited members
Of the Administration of I'm
dertakers delivered TRADES
against the only people who
have done anything to
meet the present crisis in
the last three years, the
President said, following the
criticism of the press, that
he "deplored" tn esc
speeches.
We pointed out in these
columns then that it seemed
passing strange that he de-
plored the speeches of his
own subordinates; expressed
the opinion that the tenor
of them must have been
known to him before; he
called attention to the fact
that they were sent out by
Mr.. Lucas, the President s
man.
Now that Jahncke has
spoken, reiterating, with
new trimmings, the speeches
of Hoover's birthday = or
was it Lincoln 's?-the pub
lie must be convinced that
Mr.. Hoover not only cannot
control his own party but
even his own henchmen.
Either that or that the de-
ploring of the President was
in the Pickwickian sense.

and better" billboards that are about to
rise under the new dispensation will
more efiectually conceal an unsightly
spectacle incident to an auto-wrecking
enterprise. 1t would really be better
to have only one nuisance instead of
two. The auto-wrecking work Is a
legitimate business, though it does not
contribute to the artistic setting of the
Capital. If it is to be shielded from
public view it should be by a fence
without decorations.
The billboard interests have not kept
the faith in the matter of removing
their signs from the highways around
washington. They have shown a per-
sistence in continuing the nuisance of
disflgur1ng the landscape worthy of q
far better cause. Now, in effect, they
trick the District Commissioners into
granting new lease of life to the city
disfigurements on the plea of making
improvements.
If the law does not permit the Com
missioners to sweep these offenses out
OF public view 1t should be amended
with speed. An effort to secure such
an enactment would probably be re-
sisted. The interests involved are ex-
tensive and influential But opposed to
such lobby" as would be set at work
against a proper anti-billboard law
would be great mass of public opinion,
both local and national, that should
win the contest for a clean Capital.

New Life for Billboards.

Bigger and better billboards Is now
the rule at the District Building instead
of fewer and poorer and eventually
none. The new dispensation provides
for the replacement of slightly but not
fifty per cent deteriorated billboards at
q certain corner with larger and more
conspicuous structures. There will not
be as many of the new as Of the DID,
fourteen replacing nineteen. But the
new ones will be more extensive and
stronger and. by all the canons Of pub
lie taste. more obnoxious. Indeed, there
Is no strict rule of public taste In this
respect save that billboard, whatever
the size, whatever the color or the lit
erary or pictorial contents, Is an offense.
1t is a great pity that the Commis-
sioners feel that they are impotent
under the law to rid the District Of this
nuisance. The best they can do, it
seems. is to wait until a billboard has
deprecated beyond half of its value
and then order its removal and refuse
to grant q permit for replacement. The
mischief is that permits have ever been
granted for these nuisances.

'Calf-Track' Architecture
Relic of Greek SOphistry
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Reading repeated eulogies of Greek
architecture, one is reminded of poem
on the calf tracks of the mind. The
calf made its crooked path through the
woods, man followed that path. The
path became a lane, then village
street, then it bore the traffic of q
continent-an still led by a wandering
calf some centuries dead.
The Grecian age was an age OF soph-
istry that penetrated reasoning and
spared not architecture. Marvellous
buildings, beautiful in design, were
marred by a superfluity Of protruding
colossal columns of ponderouS weight
that held up little dinky roof of little
consequence and stupendous uSeleSsness.
This colossus of columns held up q
roof that Is roof of nothing but an
approach to the building, while it hides
and obscures all that might be made
magnificent in the main part or center
entrance. Attaching wings to the right
and left of mediocre appearance pre-
sentS q structure in which the nom
essential detracts from the beauty of
all and gives to noble ediflce the ap-
pearance of elevating to first promt-
nence the most useless appendage OF
the whole
1t must be that the ancient Greeks
still laugh in their graves over the
copyists labored reproduction of the
sophist age of architecture, and con-
gratulate themselves on their power
to perpetuate endlessiy the pleasantries
Of their joking super-embellis llishment.
While they laugh, We may lament
because American architectural genius
apparently still is unable to design and
erect structure expressively and i'm
pressively American for the American
people. JOSEPH w. CHENEY.

Korea, were those Of chief Japanese
delegate at the Geneva Naval Con-
ference Of 1927-the so-called Coolidge
cruiser conference. Ambassador Glib
son and the other Americans who
represented the United Slater on that
abortive occasion experienced the most
cordial cooperation at Admiral Saito's

stood shoulder to shoulder against the
British point Of view throughout the
attempt to reach q commonly agree

As an elder statesman. seasoned by

Admiral Saito's choice will strike
foreign observers as happy selection
