This is the second of a series OF
articles on the reorganization OF
the AeronGuticS Branch of the
Department OF Commerce by
Mr.. Williams. The 1ert article
HpiII appear at an early date.
Another so-called "reorgani-
1ation," effective January 20,
will add to the series of Grip
pling blows which have been
dealt the Aeronautics Branch Of
the Department of Commerce
during the last six months.
This next blow will drive
from the field force of the Air
ways Division nearly all its asso-
ciates and assistant engineers,
radio engineers, civil engineers
and patrol pilots, Is per cent of
what is left of the expert force
Of airways mechanics, the chief
of the radio section, the chief
Of the engineering and construc'
ton section, and supervising in"

land Calf, airways districts.
Heavy Strain
Meantime the veteran experts
left at the airwayS district Of
ficeS at Newark, Atlanta, Chi
cago, Fort Worth, Salt Lake
City and Oakland, Calf, are
working overtime, and under
the tremendous strain suffered
by those who apprehend dis
missal without cause at any
moment.
These demoralizing "reorgani-
cations" within the Aeronautics
Branch have been staggered
over the last six months. They
did not get under way until
after Col. Clarence M. Young,
the Assistant Secretary of Com
merce for Aeronautics, was
eliminated last June by the
abolition of his office.
From that time really dates
the series of crippling blows
that have shattered the morale
Of the Aeronautics Branch, de-
moralized it's administration,
and scattered far its highly
trained, experienced and non
partisan personnel.
The elimination of Colonel
Young was followed after the
adjournment of the last session
Of Congress by the appointment
of a flock of political candidates
to succeed him. These were
first given temporary appoint
ments as assistant directors.
Meantime the newly created
office of director was left vacant
while a powerful group of Demo
cratic Senators battled in behalf
of their respective candidates
for his place.

The Human Side of the News
Japan Is Bulwark Against Eastern Anarchy
By EdUin C.. Hill

mold OF ancient Chinese life.
1t is a sad fact, as noted in
Current History by Ralph Town
send, former United States
consular agent in China, that
the only Chinese who are really
doing anything in China are
those who are doing harm.
This does not disparage the
activities of the enlightened
few who are working for the
good of their country and their
race. But their number is small
and their influence seems very
nearly non-eXiStent. There are
400 million people in China,
the most easily intimidated peo.
pie in the world. Bandits, war
lords, pirates and extortion gangs
bleed them white, rob them to
starvation. There are more
than three million men under
arms, supported by enforced
taxes on a miSerably impover-
ished people. The Communists
have seized whole provinces.
Marking makes war on Canton,
and both against the Reds. The
wonder is that the Chinese con-
tinue to survive at all.
Japan Realizes
The Japanese know all this,
realize all this, far better than
we on this side Of the world. It
is to their interest to bring
order out of the chaos, civiliza.
ton out Of the anarchy. They
may have to take Chinese terri.
tory in doing so, but take IL
they will.
There is still another side Of
this boiling ferment in Asia, and
that is the fact, as Mr.. Town.
send emphasizes, that in every
Asiatic country except Japan
discipline is maintained by rela.
lively small upper classes.
Beneath them lie swarming
masses, miserably poor, densely
ignorant, with no traditions
whatever of self-government or
self-control.
If these native upper classes
should be overwhelmed by .
flood of social revolution
which is exactly what is going
on now in China-the result
would be a terrific descent to
the level of savagery.
All of this Japan thoroughly
realizes as she watches events
in China and builds, in Man.
churia, her own wall Of defense
against the advancing tide Of
Communism from Russia.
Japan knows that If the great
smash comes, the billions of
European and American capital
invested in Far-Eastern land
would be lost forever; that the
great foreign trade of the
Orient would dwindle to moth
ing.
AS for the political complica-
tions, who can estimate their
magnitude? With one-half of
the world and more than one
half of the human race welter-
ing in chaotic turmoil, how
could the rest Of the world hope
to remain unscathed? What
would halt the Westward surge
Of a great Yellow Tide?
The East is a force to be
feared. There is only one force
that can halt him, and that is a
force of his own kind, the dis
ciplined power Of Japan.
We should, I suggest, gaze
very thougntfully toward Japan,
address her very reasonably and
courteously. In the turn Of
time she might indeed prove to
be the friend in need.

along with the feeling that
peace seems a little surer, goes
the kindling expectation of bet
ter times, with civilization get
ting on it's feet again.
But if this is true of the West
ern World, it serves to throw
into sharper, harsher contrast
the utter chaos of the Eastern
World; the decline of the power
and prestige of the white race;
ruined and PROSTATE China, and
the desperation of the Japanese
in their plain struggle for ex-
istence. Only a generation ago,
as Lothrop Stoddard remarks
in THE Rising Tide Of Color"
the white man was the undis-
puted master of the East.
But in the East, power rests
on prestige-what the China
man calls "face." When Japan
defeated Russia the white mans
prestige received a heavy blow.
When the Great War came and
the white race embarked upon a
kind of collective suicide, all
that remained of the white
mans prestige was shattered.
Ever since the Great War the
white man has been in retreat
from the Far East; a moral re-
treat, as Mr.. Stoddard points
out; a REIMBURSEMENT Of politi-
cal control-in India, in the
Philippines, in the Dutch Indies
and elsewhere.
Old Orient Gone
So far it has been orderly.
At any time, with the rising
tide of Communism in China.
it may become a rout.
The old Orient has gone, never
to return. 1t has become
Westernized, and all over the
east social unrest echoes west
ern demands for a higher STAN
dard of living.
Little Gandhi, sitting half
naked at his spinning wheel,
denounces this westernization OF
the old east, and curses the ma
chine, and pleads with his peo-
pie to go back to the soil and
the simple life. Impossible
dream! Women who have NICE
used the sewing machine will
never return to the bone needle.
Men accustomed to railway
trains and motor busses are
through with bullock carts. The
girls are coming out of the
harems, discarding their wells,
buying American-made ipstick
and going to the movies with
the boys.
All of this, grated onto the
age-old customs and traditions
of Mother Asia makes for
chaos, social, economic and po-
litical, the end of which no man
may guess. But this is certain:
that the one country which is
most attacked and abused, the
United States. may be the very
bulwark against the anarchy
possible to result from that
chaos.
Japan has been westernizing
herself for three-quarters OF a
century. Old Japan has almost
vanished. The new Japan Is
the only disciplined people IN
all the present anarchy OF
Asia, the only nation capable
of supporting and defending a
civilization acceptable and en-
durable to the white man.
The revolution which over
threw the Manchu Dynasty 20
years ago, and turned an old
fashioned Oriental Empire into
a so-called republic, broke the

The LITTLE
HOUSE OF DREAMS

| gazed upon q picture
That hung upon the wall.
1t was a hut with pines around IL.
Pines so green, so straight, so tall.
Beyond the sky was painted
With a glorious golden light.
That was soon to be followed
BY q peaceful, moonlit night.
Beneath the pines, around the hut.
So that only the matched roof
could be seen,
We're endless stretches of grass
and bushes,
That looked so fresh, luscious and
green.
And here peacefully flowed a
streamlet
On which the sunset was reflected.
And by a graceful swan reposing
there,
The picture was perfected.
For long time / sat there gazing
At that little hut lit with sunsets
beams,
And whispered softly, "I'll call it

FRENCH HOARDERS
FORM SYNDICATES
FOR INGOT-BUYING
Rr AsnncInfed Prcssl

NEW YORK, July 14.-A
theory for prevention of gold
boarding, now being tried by the
French government, is reported
here to be weakening because of
clever evasions.
The French melted their gold
into bars which will DE sold to
any person at around $4,000. The
theory was that since hoarders
usually are frightened individuals
of small means, selling gold only
in the large bars would prevent
their purchase by that class.
But some Frenchmen, it is re-
ported here, are forming syn
dictates of several persons who
purchase only a portion of the
bar, say $40 worth.
When enough money is raised,
the syndicate buys the bar from
the government and either cuts it
into smaller portions for keeping
by syndicate members or stores
the entire bar with shares issued
against portions of it.
