M. E.TracyS Says:

II ME most significant happening since the war,
Il particularly as it relates to the effectiveness
of the peace agencies that have been established,
is Japan'S invasion of China In calculating
what has been accomplished, or what reasonably
can be expected we should be very frank with
regard to this important development.
Though out of the League of Nations, Japan
is in Asia. She has defed the world, successfully,
insofar the world was represented by the
League of Nations.
Theoretically the league functioned accord
ing to its covenant, but practically it failed to
get substantial support from any Of it's members.
No member openly disagreed with the league,
but each and every one quietly laid down on the
job. That privilege seems to be we'll understood
and provided in all the pacts and tribunals we
are creating.
In other words the stage seems to have been
set for the benefit of peace lovers, but other
people are not supposed to take it seriously.
Japan has not give an inch since she began
y to move but the West has been obliged to
swallow all its high-soundng protests and pro-
nouncements.
Manchukuo is an independent state torn
from China by force of arms and obedient to the
will of Toxic China has agreed to the establish
ment of neutral zone south of the Great Wall
which is as good as admitting the loss of still
more territory
condemning Japan, but whether they should
have done so when they did not intend to do
more than talk.
The peace movement will not survive many
such exhibitions of shadow boxing
The most useless pastime on earth is to make
promises, threats, and agreements which do not
mean anything.
Dependability is the first requisite of inter-
national cooperation. That means the signing
of no pacts and the utterance of no declarations
which governments are not willing to carry out
IN their true spirit
The peace machine stands revealed as a wreck
today, largely because of its own bombast
HUMANITY has been led into veritable
l. 4 souse Of conferences, treaties and proclana-
tons, none Of which had teeth. Most OF them
justly can be described as hopeful prayers.
Everybody agreed to outlaw war through the
Kellogg pact, but war went right on just the
same. Several governments evaded the issue by
refusing to call it war, but Paraguay was too
honest TO continue that subterfuge and openly
has declared war Still, nothing is done.
Men in the street realize that such an attitude
toward solemn commitments is hopeless, that it
only destroys confidence, and that in the end it
will do more harm than good.
The assumption that peace can be brought
about by moral posture and verbal barrages must
be shelYed. No new order ever was established
by such an easy week-kneed process.
The time has come for governments to weigh
their words, to promise nothing, start nothing
and suggest nothing with which they are not
ready to go through.

A: A Woman's Viewpoint ::

WE have been taught to be-
w lieve that the worst possible
thing to be said of man is that
he is effeminate; by the same to-
ken, any woman hates being called
masculine.
Yet the well-rounded individual OF
either sex certainly should be en-
dowed with the finest qualities of
both. No male really can qualify as
a man unless he can temper
strength with mercy, and stoicism
with emotion.
And we constantly are reminded
in these days that the true woman
must have determination. fortitude,
courage-in short, the characters
tics that always have distinguished
the opposite sex.
Therefore, I can't help but con-
tend that the world, humanity. ma
tons, indivic ais have suffered

WOMEN DRIVERS

The old argument about whether men or
women are better automobile drivers gets a
new flip in figures compiled recently by the
National Safety Council These figures seem
to give the women a good talking point; for
they show that while one out of every twenty
one male drivers is sooner or later involved in
crash, only one in every eighty-six women
drivers comes TO grief
All this probably won't settle the argument

TWENTY YEARS AFTER

IT is interesting to notice that Samuel I'm
- termeyer counsel to the Puto committee
in its investigation into the money trust" in
1912, charges that most of the abuses revealed
by the current Morgan inquiry were laid bare
by his committee twenty years ago.
The Pujo report, Untermeyer points out,
condemned security af1liates of national banks,
interlocking directories, private banks as de-
positories and contacts of other banks with
the. Morgans through undertakings and other
privileges
The committee at the time made series
OF recommendations designed to end these
evils. For one reason or another congress failed
to act on them. Hence today's investigation
covers much of the old ground and shocks us
anew with disclosures that really are two dec
AIDES old
There is a moral in that for the present
congress. Let it not, through inaction, make
1t necessary for new Morgan investigation
to be held in 1858

It Seems
to Me
by HAYWOOD BRouN

NEW YORK June 81 have
~ come to a sudden realization
that'I talk too much. This Is not
an apology for columns past or
present. One need not put on
sackcloth for such sins as he COM
mits in the olive drab of duty. The
trouble is that I continue TO act
Ike a columnist even when I'm
in multi.
The discovery that I'm a bit Of
a bore in private lie was not made
by me without outside assistance.
The day after a recent dinner party
I ran into one. OF the guests, who
smiled and said. 4 enjoyed your
monolog last night very mucn."
And in looking over my past life
1 find that the habit Of monopo-
hzing the conversation has grown
upon me. In the beginning table
talk was matter Of sheer heroism
as far as I was concerned AT the
age OF q. I was shy and difident
and stammered percepubly.
I determined TO cure myself and
sought the advice Of famous
pyschiatrist He said: It's all a
matter OF practice You must learn
to tell funny stories. Go about
among voluble takers and try to
drown them out"

Who viii Be Miss
Vashon This Year?

Although there Is comparatively
short time remaining before the an
nual South District banquet for the
election of Miss Vashon Island, can
didate for queen from the South Dis
trict, 1t is hoped that the selection can
be made to the satisfaction of all.
During the past few years Miss
Vashon Island has been chosen by the
president of the Commercial Club,
with one exception when she was
chosen by the high school faculty. At
a meeting of the executive committee
on Monday evening. Pres. j. G. Ben
nett was authorized to select the young
lady for this year. DR.. Bennett felt,
however, that it would be preferable
to have a contest of some sort, each
district having an equal opportunity to
enter candidate for queen.
This annual banquet, to be held
February 18th at Grover Cleveland
high school, in Seattle, is always an
enjoyable affair. Preceding the ban
quet proper the candidates choose one
OF their number for queen and the
five runners-up compose her court.
These girls are guests at various func-
lions held throughout the year.
The Island is divided into districts,
North End, Cove-Colvos, Portage
Ellisport, Vashon, Burton, South End
dncluding Lisabeula) Maury Island. 1t
would be advisable for these districts
to arrive at some understanding as to
candidates, although each district can
enter as many pretty girls, eighteen
years of age or over, as 1t wishes.
Next weeks News-Record will con-
tain banks on which votes may be
sent in and fuller details of the con-
test, which will continue from Janu-
airy 10 to February 9th.

ISLAND COMMERCIAL CLUB
HOLDS EXECUTIVE MEETING

The executive committee, comprised
of officers, chairmen of committees
and district representatives met Mon
day for the regular monthly meeting
and dinner at the Island Club. A new
feature of the meeting was that each
member of the executive committee
was privileged to invite a guest, so
that there were q number Of visitors
present.
A committee of members of the Is
land Club served an enjoyable dinner,
to which everyone did ample justice.
The business meeting was taken up
with routine matters. There was an
enlightening discussion on the subject
of the South End road, the opinion,
prevailing that any funds remaining
should be used to connect the two
sections Of the road rather than COM
plotting the stretch from Burton to
Shawnee.
A report of the welfare committee
showed that work was being given to
heads Of families In real need, and
that the work program was bringing
good results with. but two cases re-
ported Of workers not giving value re-
ceived. No direct relief Is being fur
nished by this committee. as the
County Welfare department is caring
for all not able to work.
The subject Of an Island fair for the
coming fall was discussed but no
definite action taken. This was left
over for later meetings.

DEDICATED TO MRS GREEN

BY the members of the Vashon Island
Golf Club
Though she that ever kind and true,
Kept stoutly step by step with you
Your whole long gusty lifetime
through
Be gone awhile before,
Be now moment gone before,
Yet, doubt not soon the seasons shall
restore
This friend to you.
She has but turned corner-still
Shes pushing on with right good will
Through mire and marsh, by heugh
and hill,
That self same arduous way
That self same upland hopeful way,
| That she with you through many a
doubtful day
Attempted still.
She is not dead this friend-not dead,
But, in the path we mortals tread,
Got some few, trifling steps ahead
And nearer to the end,
So that you, too, once past the bend,
Shall meet again, as face to face, this
friend
You fancy dead.
Push gayly on, strong heart! The
while
You travel forward mile by mile,
She loiters with backward smile
Till you can oyertake,
And strains her eyes, to search her
wake,
Or smiling as she sees you through the
brake,
Waits on stile.
