front. AS result, the nine-power treaty guaran-
teeing Chinese territorial integrity and the Kellogg
anti-war pact have been broken by Japan without
even diplomatic rebuke of the culprit.
And the League of Nations because Of the re-
fusal of Great Britain and France to permit it to
act, has lost most of its remaining prestige.
But there seems to have been a sudden shift Of
policy. Despite Japans threat to withdraw from
the league, to retain the inundated islands and even
japanese delegates threat of world war, the
British and French governments now have voted in
favor of Incorporating the American policy in the
forthcoming league action.
In addition to the recommendation for Withdraw
ing diplomatic recognition of Japans puppet state
of Manchukuo for restoration of Chinese sovereignty
over an autonomous Manchuria and for withdrawal
Of japanese troops, France proposes a financial
boycott and possible international arms embargo
by the league, in cooperation with Russia and the
United States.
All this is significant for several reasons Among
others, that Japanese propaganda no longer can be
turned against the United States the only diplo
matte defender of the treaties, and that japanese
conquest can not long continue without the financial
and economic aid it has been receiving during the
last year from Europe.
From the Japanese conquest, the world has
learned that its treaties worthless unless enforced
by neutral powers. This does not mean that the
United State or other powers should fight Japan
they should not.
1t means merely that the world can not go on
having treaties until the united nations are willing
to outlaw aggressors automatically and economi-
caly. Neither the United States nor any other one
nation uphold the treaties alone. 1t must be a
united front or nothing
The for the belated change in British
and French poicy-if indeed, subsequent events
demonstrate that the change is real and perma-
nent-are not altogether clear. Why do the London
and Paris governments now see that it is to their
interest to the world peace machinery, when
they were blind to that fact for so long?
Doubtless. many factors have worked this change
about which the outside world knows nothing. But
at least two powerful factors known.
One is the Roosevelt declaration that the Amer
lean policy will be continued by the new administra-
tion thus destroying the early hope of Japan,
Britain, and France that the United States would
desert the treaties in the far east. The other and
even potent factor is the Junker- Fascist con-
Sodation of power in Germany.
What Japan is allowed to do today, the Hohen-
Zollern- Hiterites may try to do tomorrow! Appar-
emily the British and the French have decided that
if they going to the league and the Kellogg
peace machinery, they will have to hurry.

fact that America was very young.

BEHIND THE GANGSTERS,

Lester JONES good citizen fine public servant, has
been killed by organized crime
To find the real cause of his death you must turn
back the pages of history for the past fifteen years
and trace there the SNUG complacency of citizens
who contributed to the conditions which permitted
the organization of criminals and killers.
These bands of men who roam the country in
stolen automobiles, equipped with machine guns and
carrying small arsenals are no freak of fate They
are the logical result of the era which began with
prohibition.
Because large numbers of citizens chose to faunt
the law lacking the courage to fight for its repeal
or to deny themselves they hired law breakers to
bring them the forbidden booze.
That became the best paying of all industries
1t offered the highest of profits Its leaders became
rich It's minons were those who ready to shoot
in order to eyade capture drew it's followers from
the brutal the weak minded the drug addict, the
outlaw
Gangs formed because gangs were necessary to
the conduct of the business. Small empires sup
ported by machine guns into being. They
fought each other for this trade.
Times are hard now. The booze racket no longer
furnishes rich profits. The gangsters who formerly
lived upon this trade alone continue their quest for
loot outside the law
They turn, of course, to robbery and banditry.
Safes are robbed protesting cusodians of funds are
shot the representatives of the law are killed.
Society fights breed of human being, more
primitive than the savage, with modern weapons OF
warfare everything to gain by killing and with so
perverted view point of life that he never hest
tates when his liberty is at stake.
The forces of organized society have contributed
to the breeding of this python Shrewd lawyers have
sold themselves to gangsters. Men with money have
not hesitated to share in their profits Politicians
have catered to their power,
And now, in peaceful Indianapolis Lester Jones
is dead-dead because society slept while gangdom
firmly established itself.
When Lester Jones went into the beseged office
he went as your representative, to protect life and
property and orderly ways of living.
His killers must be found More than that, gang
dom must be stopped Better still society must get
rid of its hypocrcies and its false viewpoints, if it
wishes to endure.

Among his peers it freely is pre-
dicted that his name will go down
in history along with Pasteur and
Koch as a benefactor of the race.
His studies of infantile paralysis
alone entitle him to our undying
gratitude.
No wonder he is a happy man,
having dedicated himself to some
thing greater than himself, in
which his entire self finds full
play and free expression in behalf
of others. For surely neither men
nor angels can know a satisfac-
ton more real, or a joy more Won
derful, than to cause the light of
happiness and hope to appear in
the faces Of men and women.
1t is the secret, almost too SIM

human faces beclouded by fear
and beshadowed by anxious sor-
row.

TTEAR now the story of a great
II man of science, how little
boy made up his mind what he
wanted to do in the world and why.
He grew up on a lonely farm in
Wisconsin, and one night his lit
tie brother became dangerously i'll.
1t struck terror to his heart as
he saw his brother suffer and
watched the drawn and anxious
faces of his father and mother
so eager to help, yet so helpless.
The nearest doctor lived miles
away, but when sent for he came
as quidkly as a good team of
horses could bring him. AS the
doctor entered the sickroom the
boy - unspeakably shy - slipped
into the room, too, unnoticed in
the excitement, and hid behind a
piece of furniture to see what
went on.
From his hiding place he
watched every movement made by
the doctor, and what he saw made
him decide what he wanted to do
in life.
Quietly, calmly the doctor went
about his work, examining his
patient, touching here, listening
there, making his tests. AS he sat
down and began to pour out the
medicines to be given, he said to
the parents: Have no fear; he is
going to get we'll"
At once the boy felt the tension
relax, and from his hiding place
he saw the drawn faces of his
father and mother light up in a

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE American public is becoming increasingly
Il concerned with the burden of medical costs.
And is true that in land supposedly civilized far
too many people are dying from lack of hospital
care.
There is however, in this discussion plea to be
made for the doctor 1t may be fact that specialists
have built up racketS but is the medical profession
to be our only upright and humanitarian one?
Yet men and always expect altru-
ism from their doctor than from any one else, not
excepting the pastor. During the days when we
basked i'll the sunshine of a false prosperity, man
thought nothing of paying times what articles
was worth.
He bought exorbitantly priced automobiles and
fur coats and Wines but he roared like angry
tiger if his doctors bill matched the rest of his
expenses.
large part of our trouble these days is due to
the fact that many people besides the doctors
practicing medicine There are innumerable source
to which we may go for advice and information.
OUR radio announcers, for instance, tell us how to
~ regulate Questions our diets and our dis
positions. There are newspaper columns that give
excellent daily lessons on how to keep fit
Nearly every community, besides, boasts some
prominent practitioner outside the medical circle
who obtains plenty of patients All over the
try there are these medicine men," who practice
sort Of laying Of hands" and profess ability
to heal the sick.
Then there are other cultS-none of which I
would criticise-but who do make more complicated
the task of disqualification.
In the public schools we have nurses many of
whom alas have had the meagerest training who
diagnose our childrens ailments and prescribe ey-
erything from spectacles to tonsil operations And
then the millions of drug stores-are these not in
a sense, neighborhood physicians?
The doctor himself generally is appealed to as
last resort after the patient is at deaths door.
And although we spend small fortunes in dribbIes,
buying patent medicines and lotions and unguents,
we always complain about the bill after the doctor
has rescued and saved us.

hating place. If we decide to
trail along with Mr.. Hearst in
his conception of the United
States as an island entirely sur
rounded by the pauper labor of the
small busted nations" we will go
much further. Mayor O'Brien al
ready has looked upon Mr.. Hearst'S
proposition and, having found it
good, has decided to intensity it.
Only the other day he warned
people not to be surprised if New
York decided to impose a tax upon
commuters coming from New Ro-
chelle and the Oranges to work
here in Manhattan. But why
be content with a mere tax?
Since some of our own are out of
work, why permit the entry of
foreigners from WeStchester or
New Jersey?
I am not dealing in far-fung
fantasy. Only a few weeks ago
I stood near a window in the
Office of the municipal lodging
house and heard an attendant say
to Acting Mayor Mckee, Your
Honor, many of these people aren't

all the people are cold-blooded

Research Pays

II LIKEWISE, the control and
~ eradication of plant and ami
NAL diseases and pests depends
upon scientific research, since it
is only by intense study, both in
field and laboratory, that methods
can be devised for this work
The same thing is true of the
administration of regulatory laws.
The food and drug law, for in
stance, forbids the sale Of adul-
terated food and drugs" Hyde
says, but it could not be en-
forced without scientific analy-
sis and standards and research
to perfect means of detecting
adulteration.
Expenditures by the depart
ment for road construction cover
highway research as well. This
research has produced revolu-
tionary Improvements in highway
design"
Secretary Hyde points out that
it long ago was recognized that
agricultural research must be un-
dertaken as a governmental en-
terprise. This was because re-
suits, to be useful, must be shared
with the entire community.
AS a result, there is no incen-
tive to private enterprise to carry
on the long and costly expert
ments which such research re-
quires But while agricultural
research does not pay private en-
terprise, it does pay the nation
at large.
Publicly conducted, it pays
large returns" Hyde says. 1T is
one Of the greatest sources of pri-
vate and national wealth."

A VICIOUS SCHEME.

OF all the suggestions put forward to secure
better judges that of the local bar association
reaches the limit of viciousness.
committee of the association, significantly or
otherwise composed largely of lawyers who represent
utilities and huge financial institutions drew the
plan.
1t proposes that all the judges in Marion county,
with the exception of the circuit judge be appointed
by the Governor.
That departure, if made by Communist on
soap box would be a cause for deportation. 1t means
the overthrow of whole theory of government
which is that there be three distinct and equal
branches of government. To place the judiciary
under the executive department. is long step to-
wards dictatorship.
But the plan does not stop there. The Governor
is to be limited in his choice. Judges are to be
chosen only after a little group of men have made
recommendations.
The plan suggests that the past presidents of
the bar association, some fifteen very Sedate gentle
men who hold their titles largely through their past
interest rather than present activities in that organ
ization pick committee of five to make the nomi-
nations The circuit judge would select two Others
and two would come from the supreme court
But the five would have the majority.
These five, beyond control or suggestion of the
people, would dictate the judges for the people and
they would be compelled to pick equal number
of Democrats and Republicans No Socialist or
independent no matter how great might be his
qualifications for judicial duties would be eligible
These five active lawyers would become the
power that would control courts. 1t is easy to
imagine what would happen to any in which
they interested. 1t is easy to imagine the line
of clients with doubtful cases who would seek their
advice and counsel when hailed into court.
The whole suggestion is thoroughly un-Amer
lean in its basic principles to shock the people
into some realization of what is happening to rob
them of their right to rule 1t could only come from
a group of lawyers. The tragedy of it is that the
bar association permitted even the sembance Of its
seal of approval to be placed upon it.
If the people are ready to hand over their courts
to guardians they could do better than to turn the
matter over to pleaders before the judges.
The real solution lies in taking the courts out
of politics and electing judges at special elections
on other than party tickets
The courts need reformation. 1t is shameful TO
compel candidates for the judiciary to play party
politics But the bar association has not given the
answer. 1t would reduce the courts to puppetry.
