invited Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang
to return TO China, but gave no In
dication as TO how he would use him.
There can be no doubt as to the
sincerity Of Marshal Chang. He has
seen enough of conditions in Europe,
strolled through the streets of for
eign cities without a heavily armed
bodyguard-something he could never
do in his native China-and observed
the law-making processes Of such
countries as England, France and
Italy, all Of which he declares have
taught him lessons TO be applied to
China.
While none doubts his sincerity,
many questions whether or not he
can be great or astute enough to sur
mount the system that is so peculiar
ly Chinese. 1t was this system that
made him virtual dictator over the
northern and Manchurian millions
when only 30 years of age.
1t is no secret that Chang'S armies,
surrendered to Chang Kai-shek,
have not been given equal treatment
with the armies of Chang; that they

thousands of them because Of neglect
have become rowing bands Of ban
dts. Thousands of government off,
cialS have been robbed of their posts,
and the whole system Of patronage,
which is Chinese, has been disrupted.
II was this fact that led to the return
of the marshal, much as he may dis
claim all knowledge Of it.
Marshal Chang expresses no ami
mostly toward Chang Kai-shek. Quiet,
affable. happy, radiating good health,
now that his addiction TO the opium
habit has been cured, the young mar
shall returns a new man. The ma
tional question is how viii his return
affect the prestige Of Chang Kai-
shek, whose unpopulsrity grows daily,
and how can he At into the personal
schemes of this semi-dictatorP
The question is pertinent. Marshal
Chang holds that no man may own
or control an army If China is TO be-
come united and modern, but he has
come to apply for a job in the gov
ernment under a man whose sole OBJ
session Is that his armies are his own
personal property and that through
them he shall dominate the country.
That man, of course, is Chang Kali
shek.

as much to help them stay where they
are for a year or two. The outlay of
Government money will be repaid, in
part, either way. through labor or
work projects. The workers buy their
food and feed from wages wherever
possible instead of getting supplies di-
rect. Farmers who are too busy on
their land 10 work at Government pro-
iects for the immediate present usually
indicate their desire to work out later
the obligations to the relief agency
which they are now contracting.

would also, when completed, increase
considerably the export of automobiles
manufactured in the United States
and open up tnnumerable commercial
opportunities in the modernization of
many Latin American cities which are
tagging behind, unable to keep up with
the capitals.
Then, to top this picture OF eco
nomic prosperity and international
good will which the inter- American
highway is expected to bring about,
there is the more romantic factor that
in scenic grandeur no other highway
ever built would approach it.

much larger appropriation just au-
thorlzed. They should likewise en-
courage the interest and the cooper
alton Of the governments of the Latin
American countries further to the
South in similar survey of the entire
length of the proposed highway.
The inter-American highway would
unite the frozen regions of the North,
across the Central American tropics,
with the temperate zones of the South,
from the northernmost cities of the
United States to the capital Of Chile,
almost at the extreme south of the
Southern continent on the coast of
the Pacific. From there, crossing the
Andes. it would reach Buenos Aires
on the east, and then go up, along
the Atlantic coast, passing through
Brazil and Venezuela to the Gulf of
Mexico. In this great circuit the
highway would not only unite the
capitals Of the American republics,
but would extend its influence to the
lesser cities and communities in each
country traverSed by it.
Hence, aside from contributing to
a better knowledge and, therefore,
better understanding of each other
an essential requisite to Pan American
friendship-it would promote inter
national trade and tourist traffic and
generally strengthen the economic ties
instrumental in the preservation Of
that friendship.
Aid to Private Development.
Apart from this, the inter -Ameri-
can highway would be CT incalculable
benefit in the private development Of
each one of the Latin-American
countries, furnishing means Of trans
portation for their natural products
and making accessible regions which
now are existing in isolation. AS
for the United States, the immediate
and practical benefits are even more
apparent. The vast network of roads
projected would require thousands of
tons Of machinery, cement and steel
for bridges, and other materials pro-
duced in the United States, and the
employment of many engineers and
experts from the United States. II

complished marvellous results:
There is distinct note of de-
termined defiance in the Com
mittee's announcements Of
late, where, formerly, there was
merely "levity" and converse
ton.
This man Beckwith, wherever
he belongs, has added dignity to
the Committee s statements. His
arguments are sound, his cour-
age and common sense undeni-
able.
AS for the. many assertions
that a secret ballot of strikers
would go far toward settling
the strike, I suggest that files
Of Saturday Press be scanned.
In such event, the ''scanners'

The President gave the alkali
farmers of eastern Montana and
North Dakota a lovely sample
Of what the "mother tongue"
can do in the line of portrait
work. He pictured those sal
soda flats as future Gardens of
a bourbon Eden, if and when
the bourbon waterworks system
be installed. And the humble
tillers of the bitter soil went
home with empty pockets and
glistening eyes. Was it P. T.

about the genus homo loving

When over suggested
blowing every third row Of cot

of boosting the cotton price,
every democrat in the country
grew purple in the face below

the difference between a mule

president and the same nipple

republican president? The cot

on. The tenant cotton farmer
joins the army of the breadless

I'll have to quote one para
graph from the Labor paper
anent the strike: "These are the
outfits that howl communist
when they are asked for a few
cents wage increase an hour. "
The excrutiatingly humorous
part about all this hullabaloo is,
that the question of wages isn't
involved a-tall. The question to
be settled is, whether the strik-
ing "truckmen" are to be per-
mitted TO vote their wishes or to
be dominated by a gang OF. COM
munist ragmufins and cheap
chiselers.
