British Mystery Story Tellers.

Fergus Hume, one Of the most pop
ular and prolific writer's of detective
stories in England, has just died at the
age of seventy-three. He is the second
Of the British mystery school authors to
pass away within a short period, the
other being Edgar Wallace, who died
February 10 last. Hume had a record
Of one hundred and thirty-seven tales
Of this character and Wallace two hun
dred. Hume began in 1887 with a story
that sold for fifty pounds and which
ran to more than half million copies.
Though he gained no royalties from
this immense circulation. he acquired a
fame which brought him rich rewards
eventually. He had aspired to distinc-
ton as a poet. but publishers had re-
fused book of his poems on the ground
that he must make name for himself
first. The success of his first mystery
story changed his literary aspiration
and from that time until his retirement
six years ago he wrote three and some
times four "thrillers" year.
Edgar Wallace was a more prolific
writer, having turned out In addition
to two hundred novels about fourteen
hundred short stories and twenty plays.
His industry was extraordinary. He
made enormous sums from his writings,
but was spendthrift to the extent that
he really needed guardianship to pro-
tect him from his own follies. He left
a ridiculously small estate in view of his
long continued affluence.
These British story tellers have de-
veloped an effective technique. Both
Wallace and Hume were able to hold
their readers with even preposterous
plots by virtue of their Craftsmanship.
They were both vivid character creators.
their stories being full of interesting
people who, though they fell into well
recognized categories, were always life
like and gave the tales a realistic quality

was no less than 15o,o0o,00o pesos
(Sl6.500,000
To these various nations we exported
goods valued at but 100000 pesos
(S6,4O0 OO0). Thus we are seen to be
laboring beneath an unfavorable trade
balance of approximately 90,000,OOO
pesos (S10, 100000. annually.
And a most regrettable anomaly Of
the whole proceeding is that nearly
every commodity and article We import
could with proper effort be produced
within our own boundaries in sufficient
quantities, except possibly certain man
ufactured articles bought In Europe
and North America. Under such con-
ditions We could very logically reduce
the great expense Of maintaining lega-
tions In foreign countries until such
representatives begin to realize that
they are sent abroad more to promote
our material interests and develop trade
from foreign countries than merely TO
participate in diplomatic ceremonies.
Usually, in prospect and on paper,
our situation seems salubrious enough.
The national congress, fof instance, has
lust ratified our budget for the ensuing
year. This document presupposes ex-
penses of 5s7,444,977.6 .65 pesos for the
year in transit, with receipts from all
sources of 97,860.645 pesos. the differ
ence being AIS, 5,66735 pesos. Expert
ence in these matters, however, has
made us skeptical. and it Is much less
than these optimistic figures, and that
the familiar deficit will greet us at the
end Of the year.

A familiar commentary upon human

Use Idle Land for Aid
OF the Unemployed
To the Editor of The Star:


Means to secure self-Support for some
portion of the presently unemployed by
giving them the opportunity to use IDLE
land must necessarily include the use
Of land in the vicinity OF cities where
unemployment Is most acute.
Such land Is, generally. not now ut
for raising crops and must be put into
condition under stress OF emergency.
There is no time to build it up" under
the empirical formula Of present agri-
cultural methods.
The object of the demonstration pre-
vouSly referred to as now being carried
on is to show that the wastes Of city,
including waste land, can be made to
support considerable proportion OF Its
population.
The location chosen for the demon
stration IS a recently completed dump
of about twelve acres, which had been
a brick field and which is now brought
to grade with earth from excavations,
chiefly clay. which has compacted to
an almost pavementlike hardness.
During the past three weeks garbage
and other wastes have been collected
and so treated that there is now avail
able more fertilizer than would nor
mally be used on the whole twelve acres.
the surface Of the ground was scratched
just enough to get the seed in, the
purpose being to feed the plants from
the top.
By labor, not exceeding two days q
week for the three weeks. there are
now planted and up except potatoes),
corn, beans, potatoes, okra, lettuce,
carrots, beets, parsnipS, turnips, Gu
cumbers, radishes and eggplant and one
solitary volunteer tomato, which was
rescued from the dump and Is now
doing well where one of the fertilizer
piles had rested.
If this demonstration, which has
started well, succeeds, it will show
that any one, anywhere, provided am
pie fertilizer Is furnished, can wrest
from the ground with the aid OF the
sun enough and sufficiently varied
food for a family, provided the pre-
hminary period can be won through.
It has been done before in this couri-
tyl With the relief means Of the gun
and fishing rod. The times seem to call
for some more good pioneering and the
present demonstration is offered as
1eueer undertaking. Il. G. GAUSS.

Evacuation Postponed.

In withdrawing their order for the
evacuation of Washington's public
places by the bonus veterans without
any specific explanation of the reasons.
the District Commissioners have con-
fused the situation in the public mind
to an extent that requires early settle
ment. 1t is stated that the postpone
ment of the order was due to the ne
cessity of meeting certain possible legal
requirements" In response to an in
quiry as to why these legal requirements
were not obtained before the evacua
ton order was issued the answer was
given that it was not deemed neces-
sary. Between the original order and
its cancellation came letter from the
chief of police to the Commissioners,
which has not beer made public, but
which 1t is understood conveyed a
caution that an attempt to execute the
order might lead to riot and bloodshed.
The spaces occupied by the bonus
marcherS are with few exceptions
Federal property. Strictly speaking
the jurisdiction over these spaces rests
with the United States and not with
the District Commissioners. save as the
latter are given delegate authority for
the ordinary police purposes.
Apprehension of the resistance of the
Commissioner original order to the
extent of evoldng riot is probably
ill-founded. Despite the repeated dec
laration of the leader of the largest
group that they will stay in Washing
ton indefinitely regardless OF any orders
or persuasions to leave, 1t is to be be-
lieved that as soon as specific command
is given for the evacuation of the pre-
empted and allotted areas these men
will depart.
1t is, of course. in the last degree de-
sirable that there should be no conflict.
Indeed, the entire program Of the au-
thorities in dealing with these men has
been based upon that requirement.
There have been numerous provocations
for the exercise of force, but the situa-
ton has been SO capably handled that,
with the exception Of a few arrests
when attempts have been made to DEM
onstrate at the White House and else
where, the hand of the law has not
been raised against these petitioners for
legislation. Too much praise cannot be
given to Gen. Glassford, chief of police,
for his tact and skill in maintaining
order and the avoidance of situations
requiring drastic measures.
The hope is that there will be no de-
lay in securing the legal requirement."
which are now indicated as forthcom-
ing to permit and compel the evacua-
ton of the camps shortly. At this sea-
son of the year there is constant danger
of an outbreak Of disease at these places
of congestion, poor sanitation and in
adequate subsistence. AS has been re-
peatedly pointed out, there can be no
advantage to the marchers in remaining
in Washington. Their leadership, which
seeks to keep their ranks unbroken for
an indefinite stay at the Capital, Is i'll
advised and actually injurious. 1t may
be the purpose to challenge the authorl-
ties to the point at which force must be
used. If so, the responsibility for any
distressing happenings that may ensue
will rest squarely upon the leaders and
their miSguided followers.

Japan and Jehol.

Observers and students of Far East
ern events during the past week have
had to familiarize themselves with a
new bit of the confusing geographical
entity known as China. The Province
of Jehol, in inner Mongolia, lying north
of the old capital of Peiping and on
the Southwestern border OF Manchurla,
is the latest portion of the Chinese
realm to break into the news from that
unhappy region. Japan, as is hardly
surprising is the cause. The war lords
now comprising the japanese govern
ment are accused of plotting to round
out" the puppet State OF Manchoukuo
by formally incorporating Jehol with
in it. Toxic claims that Jehol really
does not have to be annexed to Man.
choukuo, as it always has been terri
torially part of it-Japan merely plans
to move into "the last unoccupied Sec
ton of Manchuria," contention vehe-
mently contested at Marking.
AS it was the blowing up of railway
line and indignities offered japanese
army officers in Manchuria last Septem-
ber that became the pretext for and
eventuated in today'S Japan controlled

so it Is another isolated episode, insig-
nificant in itself, that motivates jap

To accomplish his rescue and enforce
punitive measures, the japanese gov
ernment instituted extensive military
movements. These not unnaturally were
looked upon by the Chinese as a mere
pretext for administering more of the
medicine of invasion and occupation
which Japan forced down China'S
throat last Fall and Winter. Marshal

In the opinion Of the st. Joseph Ga
zette, economically. England is far
more important to Ireland than Ireland
is to Englaned, and in this age eco
nomic facts are much more potent
than political sentiment" while the
youngstown Vindicator holds that
peace and good will mean so much
to both countries that 1t Is impossible
to believe that they will let their diff
ference come to the point Of an open
break; neiher can afford it,
As to the position of the Irish people
ito whom declares the Appleton Post
Crescent, for many generations the
sympathies Of the world have gone out,
as they have naturally found their way
to every oppressed people," there is
some diversity of opinion. The Post
Crescent, commenting on the present
situation, states: The formation of
the Irish Free State with the consent
of the great majority of its people
seemed the end of its constant disputes
with Great Britain. Under the treaty
the Free State is as free as Canada,
and Canada Is freer than the United
States. But the Irish are living up to
their reputation for fondness for politi-
cal issues as well as fearlessness of the
consequences OF a struggle. The rule
OF President Cosgrave was becoming
lrksome. Things were so quiet. Every
one was working and the land was
much too happy. Now they face ruin
or retreat, a loss of material things or
humiliation" To the Springfield
(Mass) Daily Republican the situation
appears in q somewhat different light,
as it comments: The farmers of Ire
land are not cheering. England is their
best customer and they see no prospect
OF substitute. Cattle sales dwindled
alarmingly at the news that the nego-
tiations with England had broken off
A steam packet line plying between the
islands Is planning to lay up some of
its vessels, which will throw crews out
OF employment. The anxiety and gloom
OF decade ago are spreading. Which
country will be harder hit and which
can stand the pounding the longer is
economic war Of this kind everybody
loses"
As to a solution, the Hartford Daily
Times feels that when Irish trade feels
the handicap Of the new British tariff
sufficient pressure may be brought to
bear on the President to make further
concessions as to settling the issue with
London" The Providence Evening Bull
letin suggests: "a general election in
the Free State holds possibilities Of
bringing moderate opinion more strong
ly to dominate the unhappy situation.
Unless Mr.. de Valera is willing to en-
ter negotiations on reasonable terms the
pressure of public opinion in Ireland is
bound to exercise itself for such an
election as the economic war starts to
make its hurts felt"
,s,,lxe
'it is not to be wondered at that RAM
say Macdonald has invited Eamonn de
Valera to London for one Of those pri-
vate peace conferences In which the
prime minister is so adept. To prevent
Ireland from upsetting the imperial
applicant will demand quite as much
patience, tact and ingenuity as the
hard-working Macdonald lately dis
played at Lausanne"

Home Loan Banks.

| President Hoover'S signature afhXed
yesterday to the home loan bank bill
opens up a much needed field of credit
for the protection of home owners and
of credit for those who desire to become
SUCH 1t provides a national system to
| do for home owners very much what
the Federal Reserve system does for
commercial business. The banks set
up under the new law will be discount
| banks for various kinds of associations
holding mortgages on homes, including
building and loan associations, savings
banks and insurance companies. With
| these discount facilities, extending to
them a volume of credit which hitherto
| has not been available, building and
loan associations, savings banks and
insurance companies, investors in home
mortgages, will be in a position to ex-
| tend much needed credit when war
ranted to the individual home owners.
| Under the law from eight to twelve
Of these home loan banks are 10 be
established in different parts of the
country. They will have a total capital
of sl25,OO0,C00 to be subscribed ini-
| TALLY by the Reconstruction Finance
| Corporation. Eventually. however, the
members of the home loan bank syS-
tenn will absorb this capitalization, for
! members must become subscribers to
! the stock Of these banks. The opera
ton of the new system will be under
the direction of a Federal home loan
| board in Washington, but the individ-
ual banks will be guided in their opera
tions by boards of directors chosen
from the sections and communities IN
which they are located.
President Hoover recommended the
setting up of the home loan bank sys-
tenn in a statement issued by him last
November, following consultation with
members of the National Home Owner
ship Conference. 1t is a far-reaching
plan. At present, it is estimated by the
advisers of the President there are
| communities in which from $500, ,00o.-
600 to $500, 100000 &ay be expended
! for building new homes for their people,
provided credit facilities can be found.
Under the new system this credit can
/ be found, and when 1t Is assured a
/ tremendous amount of construction,
giving employment to thousands OF
workers, will be undertaken. This, by
the way, is huge volume OF Work
for which the taxpayers collectively
will not be called upon to pay, but
which in the end will represent private
capital, increasing the value OF all
property in the United States.
| In the final hours Of the considera-
! ton of this bill an amendment was
written in by the Senate providing for
an expansion of currency. This pro-
| vision permits national banks to issue
national bank notes against Govern
ment bonds paying up to 3ss per cent
interest. Under the old law this priv
ilege was limited to Government bonds
paying no more than two per cent in
terest. The President, after consulta-
! ton with the officials of the Treasury
Department, declared that this amend
ment as a practical matter would lead
to little, if any, expansion of the cur
rency, and, although the amendment
was regarded as q step backward and
away from the Federal Reserve system,
he signed the bill.

would have no other course but to
attack Peiping, Chang Hsieu-Mang's
base"
Here we have the tragic elements OF
another catastrophe such as those
which have so remoHelessly seen the
Japanese flag planted ever more deeply
in the heart of China, while the war
weary and depression-racked open
door" powers view with alarm, but do
nothing about 1t. Unquestionably there
are wheels within wheels In the Jehol
business, as there always are in connec-
ton with these chronic messes in
chaotic China. Jehol is a producer of
rich opium revenue. 1t is prolific In
coal, oil and timber resources. Marshal
Chang Hsieu-Liang is at loggerheads
with the anti Nationalist Gov. Tang OF
Jehol, and controversy over revenue
loot more likely than not is at the root
of their feud.
But behind and coincident with all
these purely Chinese currents and cross
currents looms, in the vision of the
world beyond Asia, the figure OF
Japan, reaching ceaselessly for more
and more power over her sprawling,
inchoate neighbor The japanese
are apparently convinced that moth
ing more formidable than League
of Nations resolutions obstructs their
plans. That seems to be clear
from the circumstance that the threat
to round out" Nippon's grasp on Man
choukuo by absorbing Jehol synchro-
nizes with the presence in Toxic Of the
Lytton Commission Of Inquiry, sent by
the League to investigate the legality
of japanese procedure in Manchuria.
