TODAY'S REALITIES
lBy BRUCE CATION

When the Japanese delegates Withdrew
from the recent League of Nations assem-
bly,, they expressed the piOus hope that
the world statesmen would give earnest at
tention to the realities" of the situation in
the Far East.
Today, with all of JehOl province over
run by Japanese troops, with Chinese re-
sistance almost entirely collapsed and with
Japanese might rising completely victori-
Gus on the shores of the Yellow sea, these
realities seem more solid and unarguable
than ever.
Yet it is easy to be deceived. The reall-
ties of one moment of world history are
the hazy phantoms of the next. Today a
speculative man might wonder whether
the reality is the victorious Japanese army
or the slowly rising determination in mems
hearts that the law of the jungle shall no
longer be the rule for the conduct of inter-
national affairs.
At the moment this question looks silly.
The Mikado's troops are irresistible Such
harbingers of-the new sentiment as the
League Covenant, the Kellogg treaty and
the Nine-Power pact look about as etfec-
tive as the treaty guaranteeing Belgium's
integrity looked in the fall of 1914.
But we don't know how these things are
going to look so years from now.
In the year 100 A. D., the one reality
was the might of the Roman Empire. No
one but witless dreamer would have pre-
dicted that it would give way before an
obscure religious sect known as Chris
tianity.
In 1899 the reality in France was the
kings government, buttressed by a huge
army and centuries of tradition. The Pari-
sian mob that tore down the Bastile was
only a mob, after all; men said contemptu-
ously that it could be quelled at any time
by a Whit of grapeshot.
Today the reality is Japanese victory III
Manchuria, and those who believe in law
and order in international affairs are help
less sdreamers. But what will it all look
like a generation later?

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
By Ike Walton, RedivivuS

So England sends US her
sympathy" in our financial
troubles. How about some more
payments on those I. o. U s?
When we see how the pound
sterling went up, and how South
African gold mining shares went
down, we get to wondering who
were the gentlemen who started
to shipping gold out of New
York until Franklin found that
MISUNDERSTANDING act"
Franklin also said in his. in
augural that foreign affairs
were Secondary" Hiram John
son liked that. In fact, if the
laundering amateurs who tried
to play big Ike in Europe for
the past II years had stayed at
home like us little Ikes and gone
fishing, we'd be a sight better
off. The countesses and the
mademoisells and the otheEnper-
suasive influences in London and
Paris would not have had a
chance to hypnotic Charlie &
Co. into thinking they were great
international financiers and so
of getting too close to the Amer
lean pocket-book. Those old
Rothschlag with more than ::
century Or doing it to their
credit could take Charlie & Co..
between finger and thumb and
squeeze the oil out of them be-
fore they knew they were sweat
ing.
Charlie & Co. tried to pass
along their losses to the Cow
town bankers until they became
too heavy, and then they had to
shut down the doors OF Wall
Street and start to praying for
the first time since the war. 1t
makes a big difference whose OK
is gored Ben Tillman once
said he wished to see the cow
feeding on the south and west
and with her udder over New
York turn round The poor crit
ter kept her stand until her
mouth got dry first and now the
other end is drying up toos
1t all comes out in the wash.
The Lord only knows how much
money is going out of the back
doors of those Wall Street places
while the front doors are closed,
But the Lord also knows who is
doing it, and he has long men,
DRY.
The paper said Mr.. Hoover had
friends in New York who would
cash his checks. Wonder if they
were some of the wise guys who
got theirs out before Franklin
stopped the rest of them?

WASHINGTON March IA. -
CUPAs-The fedora! government
expects more than 1000, 900
Americans to file their income
tax returns and make at least
the first quarterly payment by
midnight on March IS.
High officials Of the treasury
have indicated that no extension
Of time as a result of the bank
holiday, is contemplated.
The problem of collecting the
income tax this year is a real
one. 1t has been given consider.
able consideration by President
Roosevelt and his financial advis-
ers. At the peak Of the financial
crisis, however, David Burnet,
collector Of internal revenue said
the tax must be paid.
He urged that taxpayers make
an effort to pay at least the
first quarterly installment in
cash or by postal money order.
Failing this, the department
would accept checks on banks
closed during the holiday.
It was emphasized, however
that while the government would
make an effort to collect on
these checks, the taxpayer must
be prepared to pay cash later II
the checks are not cashed.
What action if any the gov
eminent will take against those
who fail to make out their re-
