in predominance. They have tried to
impress upon the Japanese people
generally the old spirit of the Sumarai,
the spirit Of invincibility.
On that blustery, cold morning two
or three years ago Japans mill
tary force got real test Of her mill
tary and naval power.
The real reason for the Shanghai
affair lay in the fact that the jap
anese owned tremendous cotton tex
tile mills on the right bank of the
Whangpoo River, which lies on
Shanghafs front porch. The Chinese
workers in these mills had gone on a
strike, strike fomented by pleas for
an anti-Japanese boycott, originated
by the Kuomintang, the most liberal
organization of them all in the land
Of the dragon.
In those troublous days Tsai went
to Shanghai with l,900 troops, the
most he ever had at any time to op-
pose that japanese army of 100 900 and
the entire Japanese fleet with 10000.
1t is a rather peculiar coincidence
that the figure Of 10, both in the name
of his army and the number of his
troops, repeatedly occurred.
Returns Def to Japan.
The day after the Japanese offen-
sive started the Japanese commander
sent a curt ultimatum to Tsai to sur
render. The actual message, which
has been previously reported in differ
ent workings, that Tsai sent back was
this:
IT will surrender when Chinese are
all deadl"
And he didn't. For three weeks,
against a force more superior perhaps
than any with which any military
commander ever had to contend, Tsai
held his line. He dropped a bit back
here and there. but always with that
stubborn line of defense.
And finally he won his point.
The Japanese had to come to him
and suggest truce. Beaten, battered,
covered with mud, filth and every
thing else a Chinese battle-ground
might provide, he and his regiments,
hampered by a lack of ammunition,
communications, supplies, gave the
world a new picture of invincibility
Of the Chinese soldier.
In China he is hero. In Wash.
ington, from which he has Just de-
parted, he likewise was received as a
hero.
Let's listen to him:
1T was nothing. I fought be-
cause it was my duty. My soldiers
were the best ones ever had.
They fought for the. glory of
China, as Chinese have fought for the
more than 5000 years that China has
been civilized. Some day, perhaps.
they will fight again. Who knows2"

With Gen. Hugh S. johnson self
acknowledged victim of dead cats"
the N. r. A. enters upon "the second
phase" with both a new leadership
and a new set Of principles.
Much more than a simple change
of administrative organization is in
yolved in the new set-up Of the
N. r. A., although Gen. johnson in
his farewell speech to his fellow
workers insisted that his creation was
being passed into the hands of his
loyal friends" and that the pr1n-
ciples carried out in his regime would
remain unaltered, he was barely out
of active office before the new policy
announcements were forthcoming.
President Roosevelt himself, in his
radio address to the Nation last Sur-
day. agreed that reconsideration was
in order for some of the program
undertaken by the N. r. A. but 1t
was left for Donald r. Richberg, head
of the policy board in the new twin
board organization Of the N. r. A.,
to outline definitely the revised OBJ
jective.
Price-fixing and production con-
troll. he announced, had been forced
into the N. r. A. program by busi-
ness men who did not know what
they were doing. They were rushing
into a Socialism which they profess
to abhor, he warned. The only prac-
tical way of setting fair prices was
in the competition Of a free market,
he asserted.
Program Blasted.
With these words, q substantial
part of the johnson program. the
part which had aroused the criticism
of influential figures in the Roosevelt
administration for the last six or
seven months, was blasted. Hating
steps had been taken by Gen. john
son to undo some of the first en-
couragement given TO businesses to
make their own prices and limit their
production in the first rush of code
making. But the critics found that
each such measure was followed by
a qualification or q withdrawal. Now
the N. r. A. policy is definitely set
toward an overhauling Of the codes
and the elimination Of the protected
services, albeit slowly and with eau
ton, industry by industry.
This first development OF new policy
followed close upon the administrative
reoreanization Of N. r. A. In which
the feature was the abolition OF one

now stand 13 men. To begin with,
there is President Roosevelt whose di-
rect and commanding position in the
new set-up might reasonably be re-
garded as making him the lone man"
domination which Gen. johnson used
to be. The President is in command
of two boards, one administrative and
the other advisory on policy matters.
Each reports directly to him and he
has promised an intimate connection
with each.
Board Set-Up.
The administrative board, desig-
mated as the National Recovery Board,
has five members plus two other N. r.
A. associates who sit in with them ex-
officio. The policy board, named the
Industrial Emergency Committee, is
composed of six members, including
the chairman of the administrative
board, whose participation in the work
of the policy agency is designed to
assure cooperation.
The chairman Of the policy board is
Mr.. Richberg, who was graduated from
the post of general counsel OF the N.
r. A. in the johnson regime to become
the Presidents co-ordinator of the
recovery program and the executive OF
the National Emergency Council and
the Executive Council. It was he and
Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary Of
Labor, who took the lead within the
administration in bringing N. R. A. re-
organization to an issue, challenging
the original reorganization plans of
Gen. johnson under which they
feared his one-man control would con-
tinue even under a board to be eStab-
lished in charge of the N. r. A.
Heading the new administrative
board is s. Clay williams, former
president Of the r. j. Reynolds To-

Board, as q member of the N. r. A.

Another claimant is Max D.

The reason for the postpone

them Lucille Ballantine, dancer,
who has claimed Livermore owes
her $3.50 a month on a five-year

a clerk from the office of Liver

II we really want to prevent prison
riots in the future we can take no more
effective step than to insist upon the
professionalization of the prison service.
This is no idle or perfunctory state
ment. The prisons of many of our
States and the jails in most of them
are at this moment in the grip of party
politics, and until this condition is
changed it will be difficult to bring
about any improvement.
8. AS a further defense we must insist
that the social necessity of keeping
prisoners employed under fair compe-
tition on State-uSe projects is at least
of equal Importance with the relief of
unemployment generally
4. Finally, to prevent prison riots we
must build up a new morale and a
new attitude by and toward the priS-
oners-an attitude of fair play, an
equality of treatment which does not
sacrifice discipline on the one hand
nor fairness on the other. If we in
crease the certainty of apprehension
and the speed of disposition, we shall
be better able to distribute punishment
more equally, deterrence will be more
effective and the sense of injustice of
those who are caught will be reduced.
In some way the prisoners impress
sion that they have been wronged must
be supplanted by the cleansing emotion
of repentance and contrition as a pre-
requisite to reform. Their loyalty to
each other must be broadened TO in
clude loyalty to the Government No
one can prophesy that our prisons can
ever be made riot-proof, that desperate
enemies of society will not rebel even
at the risk of their lives
RUT the prison most likely to be with
out riots will be one in which there
will be neither coddling nor brutality.
neither idlenesS nor industrial slavery,
neither rigidity nor vacillation, neither
diSdain nor fraternizing. In it scrupu-
louS cleanliness will rule and productive
work will be the part of all-inmates
and officers There must be impartiality
of treatment, impeccabIe honesty, just
treatment for the poor and lowly as
well as for the rich and influential.
In spite of recent discouraging events
there is hopeful aspect to the Amer
ican prison problem Many of our
prisons, reformatories and training
schools carry on their difficult job from
day to day with fidelity, with safety
to our communities, with a devotion to
their difficult task and resulting bene-
fit to the public. Such routine is not
news. Many of our penitentiaries have
never had a riot of any sort.
