China Restless Under Yoke
From the Pasadena star-News


Cantonese members Of Kuomintang
ing that the Nanking government
adopt and pursue q more vigorous
policy Of resistance against japanese
aggression. This opposition to the
submissive tactics Of China's incum-
bent rulers has been active in the
Southern provinces ever since Japan
attacked Manchuria, and 1t was ag-
gravated by the subsequent invasion
Of Shanghai.
Perhaps this new movement will get
no farther than earlier protests from
the same quarter, but at any rate the
protestants have their views in the
official record. A telegram, signed by
20 or more southern leaders, has been
sent to Marking demanding, first, that
the government discontinue its reli-
ance on the League Of Nations for aid
and that steps be taken to resist fur
ther Japanese invasion and to recover
the lost provinces by military means.
Tariff concessions to Japan also are
condemned in strong terms.
Inasmuch as under the Sun Yat-sen
program the time is approaching for
the dissolution of Kuomintang, author
ization is expected for the formation
Of two or more political parties in
China, in which case there probably
will come q sharper division of senti-
ment on important issues.
1t is also in the southern provinces
that the most vigorous steps are being
taken for the arming of China for
training young men in military sci
ence, especially in aviation. The ap-
preaching new alignment, backed by
these preparations for asserting Chinese
rights, may have large meaning for
the Far East.

Bigger Cotton Profits.
. the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Georgia's most fortunate cotton
growers-those who have produced
the most cotton per acre, received the
best price for their staple and enjoyed
the best demand for their product
held their annual barbecue Thursday
ct Orchard Hill, in Spalding County.
These producers occupy their IA
vored position because they have fol-
lowed up-to-date methods in the pro-
duction of cotton. Banding together
in 1881 to organize the Orchard Hill
Cotton Improvement Association, its
several hundred members pledged
themselves TO plant variety cotton
and to endeayor to increase the yield
per acre.
The result has been increased prof
its from their farming operations and
a bigger demand for their cotton than
they could meet, practically their en-
tire production being bought by Geor-
gia mills engaged in the manufacture
of automobile tires.
The cost of production per acre has
been slightly increased but the mar
gin Of profit has been doubled and
trebled. Their experience has conclu-
sively demonstrated the wisdom Of the
doctrine preached for many years by
Federal and State agricultural experts
that the better the cotton the larger
and more certain the profits will be.
The day when the farmer who
raises cotton on the old hit-or-miss
plan can be prosperous is definitely
over. When the South. was the only
section in the world producing cotton
in any material volume it was pos
sible for Southern growers to plant
any kind of seed, use little or no fer
tilizer and follow old-fashioned meth
ods of cultivation. The result was 9
poor quality Of short-staple cotton.
Now cotton of that kind is being
produced in large volume in Europe
Asia and Africa.

The Goat of the Sixth Game

In almost every regular season base
ball game and in practically every
world series contest there is q crisis
that calls for exact playing, for quick
thinking and for perfect performance.
A failure on the part of a single
player to meet these requirements
means the loss of the game. That
is what is known as the pinch" "
Yesterday it befell to one player on
two occasions to fail in that pinch
and the result was lost game for
Detroit, a tie in the series and the
need of playing the seventh game to
break the tie and decide the question
of world championship. It so hap
pened that the unfortunate one who
had to meet these two crises was a
player we'll known in Washington,
always what is called q "colorful"
performer. none other than Goose"

Goslin. The first pinch came in the
fifth inning, with the score tied, one
to one. A St. Louis runner was on
second with one out. A single base
hit was sent out to left field, where
Goslin took it on the bound and tried
to throw the runner out at the plate.
He failed doubly, failed to get the
runner and threw so wildly that the
batter went all the way to third, from
which base he scored a minute later
on an inf1eld out, giving st. Louis q
one-run lead. But for that wild
throw only one ruin would have been
scored. The second pinch came in
the sixth inning, when with Detroit
runners on first and second and none
out Goslin eSsayed to bunt sacri-
fee 10 advance the runners, but
dumped the ball so close to the plate
that the catcher was able to throw
to third for force-out. A long fly
and q single resulted in one run,
had the bunt been effective
as a proper sacrifice two and perhaps
more runs would have been scored
and, other things being as they were,
the game would have been won and
with it the series. OF course the
"other things" might not have hap
pened just in the same way, but as
the playing record stands the bad
throw and the bad bunt lost the game,
and 1t was one of the fortunes of the
sport that these two faults were COM
mitted by the same player. Which
entities the wild goose" Of Salem,
N. j., to the rank of the goat of the
game and perhaps of the series. The
result of the seventh contest will be
known today, weather permitting. 1t
has been a stirring series, and the
winner will we'll deserve the title of
world champions.

Democracy Does Not
Mean Dictatorship
To the Hdltor ef The etar.

To the Bditor Of The star:
At last, a New Deal apologist-one
Of your oorrespondents-is defending
dictatorship as representative" Of the
people! There seems to be an attempt
to identify it with democracy in an
effort to save the face Of our revolu-
tionary evolutionists. Consistency is,
indeed, a jewel!
But Of what avail is such equivoca-
ton? Why handy THUS with words?
Democracy" If it means anything,
certainly does not mean dictatorship.
Whatever may be thought Of the merits
of the two as a means to the end Of
human welfare, there is q distinction
that is not without q difference that
o lot Of people think Is worth noting
in It's influence on human destiny. OF
course, not even democracy can relieve
us Of the need for eternal vigilance as
the price of liberty. Without such
vigilance democracy can arrange its
own funeral at an election.
In this connection the writer, who
voted for Norman Thomas in the last
election, Is nevertheless unable to see
after careful study that production
for Use, not for profit" means any
thing II 1t doesn't mean an interfer-
ence with competition through a
planned" economy. In other words,
Socialism does not seem quite as in
nocuous in its implications as Mr.. S.
r. Randell would have us think. Thus
one may easily agree that the money
system, at least, must be nationalized
and socialized. But what program do
the Socialists propose as q means to
this end7 Do they advocate the pro-
posals for O central government bank
with instructions to stabilize the dol
lar? And are they naive enough TO
think that such instructions would be
effectively supplemented by such de-
vices as speculating in Government
bonds, manipulating "rediScount rates"
or lending new "credit" to private use?

Granted that the age to which they
belonged has been replaced by one in
which romance has restricted oppor-
tunities. Granted that certain psy-
Geological alterations have occurred
in the human mind and that the re-
actions of the public of 1894 cannot
be exactly like those of the public of
1859, the year of the books publica-
ton. 1t still remains likely that the
charm Of the West country, and the
elemental magnetism of the story
itself, plus competent acting and di-
rection, will find adequate response
among those to whom the novel is a
tradition and perhaps even among
those unfortunates who never yet
have made its acquaintance.
But it is fair to warn Mr.. Dean
that he has challenged criticism.
Such, indeed, Ia the lot of any man
who lays hands upon q classic. Should
he fail, though the fault be but q
minor one, people will complain. Re-
cent films based on "Alice in Won
derland," Treasure Island" and
Little Women" have been adapted"
rather too much to suit all parties.
1t will be well If Lorna Doone" is
not edited" or brought up-to-date." !"
Having gone to its original locale for
his background, Mr.. Dean should go
to the original text and to nothing
but that text for his script. In that
case he would deserve the applause
of q large and grateful audience.

A Plea for a Distinctive Style
In the Architecture of America

that a real American architect Is yet
to be developed who will give proper
expression to our experiences and as
pirations in our future buildings,
utilizing American materials as de-
veloped by our genius In invention
and manufacture.
If my words are too clumsy to con-
vey my meaning, let an average per-
son walk leisurely twice or three
times around that inspiring edifice
housing the ShakeSpearean collection
recently completed in our own city.
The simplicity and dignity of Ameri-
can conception had been applied TO
an ancient art of foreign origin. Yet,
our perculiarly American-made mate
rials (not lace) have been admirably
adopted for its decoration. The crea-
tor of the building bravely discarded
to the Junk pile the moth-eaten and
meaningless orthodoxy in architecture
for Libraries. That man will be dead,
indeed, If, after such a jaunt, some
thing within him will not be aroused
drawing him within that enchanting
shell and irnbued with a healthy
curiosity and desire to explore It's
contents.
Why continue to perpetrate out
worn and outlived antiquities py
sending students abroad to return ana
foist upon q people hungry for self
expression buildings Of cryptic and
mausoleum conception and dimension?
These things should be relegated to
museums where they belong, having
served admirably the ancient man IN
his conception of structure to shut
out air and sunshine and flowers, and
building his walls thick enough to
Withstand the ramming action OF
foes. Their doors and windows and
their isolation certify to all that.
The order of the columns, the mold
ings and cornices gave evidence that
man began to think in terms Of deco
ration, and he was ready to adorn
his structures previously conceived by
the cave man. What have We here
to do with oil that7 America should
be through with all these crudities
and is waiting for an art to supplement
our somewhat overgrown material &C
complishments. ISAAC TTPPER.

Lack of Street Safety

drifts across as best he can with traf-
fic coming around the corner.

less taxis-rnake every other block
one way or through street-and
above all, cut down speed in con-

A Serious Danger.

From the Charleston Cw. Va Daily Mail.
If the contention Of the National
Coal Association is true, the Federal
Governments hydroelectric power pro-
gram is menace to the interests Of
West Virginia that the people of this
State cannot afford to ignore.
The association declares that for the
program to be carried out would mean
destruction of the bituminous coal in
dustry. So far, we have seen no con-
vineing reply to this argument from
those sponsoring the program.
The associaton'S argument appears
to be sound. Development Of Govern
ment-owned power projects supplying
cheap power would mean the displace-
ment Of coal as fuel in Industrial
plants. THE disastrous consequences
Of such displacement Of coal and an
Inhalation of coal markets upon capi-
tai and labor engaged in the bitumt-
nous mining industry" says the asso-
citation; "are self-evident."
The coal industry already has ex-
perienced q serious shrinkage of mar
kets due to the increasing use Of SUBJ
stitute fuels. It is just now beginning
to emerge from a state of Improbable
operation that existed long before the
depression struck. The Government,
through its national recovery program,
lent it assistance.
For the Government to turn around
now and engage in an enterprise that
might prove disastrous to the coal.
mining business would be not only un-
fair to the latter, but the height Of
inconsistency.
West Virginia has q direct and vital
interest in the power program. BIZ
luminous coal mining is its chief in
dustry. Thousands Of persons are de-
pendent upon this directly for their
living. Other thousands have an In
direct relation to it. The same condi-
ton is faced by other coal-mining
States for which the coal association
speaks.

To the Editor OF The Star:

| To the Editor OF The Star:
Now that the sacred and ancient
COW of architecture has been dis
! turbed by no less q parsonage than
our honored Secretary of the Treas
ury, which caused The Star TO COM
ment upon such daring and sacri-
legious utterance, it may not be amiss
for an impartial but intensely inter-
ested observer to horn in with an
opinion or two.
To be sure, the old, patient, cud-
chewing animal took just sufficient
time from her labors to utter a mild
moo" of protest against this unholy
intrusion and wanted to know whether
the dissenter would use rubber, air,
adobe, caviar or Swiss cheese for
building materials and decorate such
completed structures with Belgian
lace. 1t is strange that it never oc-
Cured to the defender of one of the
seven arts that the Secretary spoke
in dead earnest and voiced a legiti-
mate smoldering Of protest in the
hearts of many Americans.
Why have we Americans no archi-
lecture Of our own capable of being
| and fervor one feels when speaking
of something that belongs to him?
I am, OF course, aware that a few
claim that the small Colonial house
and the New York SkyScraper are
American developments. The aSsump-
tion about the house is untrue and
certainly no one will dignity the pack
ing box Skyscraper with the term of
architecture.
Let any average, intelligent per-
son-American or European-take q
jaunt in an airplane over other con-
tinents than ours. Will he fail to
recognize Russia when he is over
Moscow with its vaulted domes, or
Italy when he looks down upon Rome
with its monumental classics, or
France, even when the Eifel Tower
is obscured by low clouds; or Greece,
| or Turkey or Spain or Germany?
And particularly when he flies over
China or Japan or India, which places
| he will know even with one eye
closed; or any other land that suc-
ceeded to express itself in its build
ings? What will the same observer
gather when he flies over the United
States?
Are we forever to admit that We are
poor in material and home talent ade-
quately to express in our buildings
the struggle of our forefathers for
freedom, the more recent death grap-
pie among our own citizens and
brothers in order to settle principle
wherewith that freedom may be pre-
served by united Union, and our
present struggle in order to correlate
and preserve a Constitution we cher
ish with changed world conditions,
in the face Of hostile and confused
Europe? Must we admit that our
architects are incompetent to give
adequate and artistic expression in
our own creations to this drama?
One Is astounded by observing the
mountainous labyrinth Of stone and
unwieldy bundles of columns Of all
orders, rising out of the ground in
mushroom fashion without rhyme or
reason in our new Government build
ings, already conveying to the senses
a cramped and hopeless mass situa-
| tion. What an opportunity our an
