Japan storms through the
Great Wall and drives on to the
capture of Peiping and the con-
quest of North China. Her dis
cipined legions, fired by ma
tional pride and projected by
indomitable purpose, are COM
pleting the greatest military ad-
venture of modern times. A
tiger loose in a Sheepfold. For
that is what pacifistic China is
today, the sheepfold Of the
world, the most arTesting and
utterly convincing example Of
what pacifism can do to hui
initiate, degrade and shatter a
once-great nation.
Peace, world peace, is the
grandest of human conceptions,
but it is difficult to see how
that conception has been prac-
tically advanced by all Of the
Genevas and the washington
conferences and the Locarnos
that have dreamed their dreams
and flooded the world with
lovely language ever since the
guns ceased laundering on the
Western Front. For we are llv-
ing, as it happens, in a world OF
hard realities and not in a world
of pink -tinged dreams. We are
living in dislocated, changing
world, where whole races, as
we'll as individual nations, are
seeking a readjuStment de-
manded by implacable necessity.

Americas Biggest Racket

His prophecy that "the rich
evade the tax, the poor escape
it, and practically the whole
burden of oppressive taxation
is borne by the worthy middle
classes" is now a proven fact.
It is written into the records
of Congress in language so plain
that "he who runs may read.
Speaking with the voice OF
organized labor, William Green,
the president of the American
Federation of Labor, appeals to
the present Congress to adopt
the Canadian type of sales tax.
He says:
"Tf the sales tax is imposed,
then everybody WiH be paying
something. Then Uhy should
not every community in the
country benefit from it,"
Speaking with the voice Of
organized business, Henry l.
Hartman, the president of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, reinforces the argument
of Mr.. Green in these words:
"We favor a general manu-
fGcturers' sales tax to ProVide
part of the reOenue needed by
the Government. 1t is the fdtr-
est item on the Tredsury's al
Tentative tax program"
But Congress turns a deal
ear to these appeals. Congress
ignores the testimony OF the
bankers who pay no income
taxes. Congress blinds its eyes
to the plight of the overbur-
dened taxpayers of modest IN
come.
Congress goes fatuously ahead
piling on iniquitous income
taxes and making the millions
of Americans of modest income
pay through the nose the reFe-
nue. required to run the Gov
ernment.
If this sorry spectacle OF po-
litiCal cowardice and legislative
folly in the Federal City arouSeS
the righteous indignation Of the
whole American people, our
Senators and Representatives IN
Congress will have only their
own congenital timidity and
contempt for the teachings OF
all experience to blame.

March of Conquest

Japan needs new territory in
Asia to accommodate her crowd
ed millions. She is taking it,
ruthlessly and relentlessly'
scornful of the impotent League
of Nations and of all protests
and pressure from the great
capitals of the West. The ma
tion that tries to halt her
march of conquest is the ma
ton that will have to fight her.
We certainly do not want to
see the stars and Stripes in
battle array against the red sun
flag of Nippon, but the person
who dreamily assumes that
there is no existing menace of
war between the United States
and Japan ignores the explosive
character of incidents that
might occur at any moment
between the victory-eXcited Jap
anese and our own American
infantry and Marines now in
Peiping and adjacent territory.
For more than 80 years burn
ing resentment against the
United States and our racial
exclusion policy has seethed
under the smooth overlay of
japanese politeness and diplo-
matte expressions. Resentment
against our blunt distaste for
the Yellow Race. Resentment
against the incessant seedlings
from washington in the pre-
vious administration.

There are, indeed. There are

feet of him as he spoke in &C

that was no new stunt for him.
Many a cloud had he bucked

Idle Chatterers

There may be periods of time
in the place where you work
when you have little or nothing
to do.
But it is necessary for some
one to work.
Your chatter at such times is
not only annoying but prevents
the busy one from turning out
the sort of work he is expected
to produce.
Offices and shops are not
visiting places.
Usually the sort of talk in
dulged in during the dull hours
is piffle.
Mind ramblings that give the
person who is thoughtless some
thing to amuse his vacuity.
And you can count on it

But, in these enlightened
times, every girl knows that,
in order to hold her place in
the Sun-and even in masculine
favor-she must possess some
thing stronger than sex appeal
and more lasting than beauty.
Of course, every woman Sc
cretly believes that she has a
warm heart already. Power to
mold public opinion interests
only a rare few of our brighter
geniuses; and style and the do
mestic arts may be acquired.
That narrows the choice Of
heaven-sent gifts down to four.
Beauty, wit, personality and
sex-appeal-and the most de-
sired of these is personality!
Why not? Personality gives
you such a LOT for your
money. It always includes
some of the other gifts and
may include all of them-and
it outlasts everything else you
may possess on earth and dies
only when you die.
It is more important than
genius, more arresting than
wit, more fascinating than
beauty and more holding than
sex-appeal.
All of us have seen actors
and actresses, whose personali-
ties got across the footlights
and dominated the play, long
years after their youth had
fled. Mrs. Fiske, Marie Dress
Ter and the divine Sarah Bern

All Of us have heard singers
with second-rate voices. and
seen screen stars with no
beauty, who "stole the play"
or the opera from far more tai
ented singers and from pull
chritudinous young movie &C
treSses. Personality!
When, a woman has person
ality, no man who has once
loved her can ever forget her
or find any other woman who
will replace her in his life.
Because two beautiful women
may be equally lovely and two
wits may strike off the same
spark. But God never made
two personalities" equal or
exactly alike!
