The Human Side of the News
Unreasonable Typhoon Takes Heavy Toll
Bu EdWin C.. Hill

Night on the harbor at Wal
yang, in the southernmost sea-
coast province of China. The
hundreds of junks squat at
anchor. A dead calm hangs
over all-the barometer is fall
ing and a heavy swell sets in on
the water. Nature is warning
before she strikes. But the fish
errnen pay little heed. Some
have work to do and gamble
they will have time to finish it.
Others will match their skill,
which must be great, consider
ing the clumsy tubs they handle.
Suddenly a breeze stirs and
grows in briskness. The rain
comes down in torrents, the
wind roars and the waters are
lashed to a fury. An unseason-
able typhoon has come to Wal
yang, and before it runs it's
course, 300 junks and sampans
have been pounded to bits and
800 fishermen have perished.
The typhoon of the East Indies
is identical with the hurricane
of the West Indies.
They occur usually in the
months of August, September
and October, originating in the
equatorial belt Of calms or dol
drums, forming slowly and NOV
ing northward. slowly at first,
until their pent-up wrath is
loosed upon the West Indies,
the Gulf and our Southern
coast, and in the Pacific to play
havoc between the Philippines
and Japan. And their path
runs from so to 100 miles in
width. This last typhoon gets
scant notice in the headlines,
for in the measure of public in
tereSt 800 Chinese fishermen
weigh but little.
Sixty Yearly
The Pacific has about 60
typhoons a year, 10 of which
are serious, and the Atlantic
has about one-third that num-
ber of hurricanes, All in all,
they are the most destructive Of
natures forces, drowning as
many as 100 persons at one
time, and in the Tokyo earth
quake and typhoon of Septem-
ber /, 1923, being responsible,
it is estimated, for 100000 Of
the 100000 deaths by spreading
the flames. In the chronicles
of China, the greatest Of ty-
phoons is set down in the year
1881 during the reign Of the
mighty Mongol Emperor Kublal
Khan.
To punish the Japanese for
executing an ambassador, this
Grand Mogul loaded 100000
men on $500 ships for an in
vasion of the empire of the Nip
ponese. A typhoon struck the
armada as it lay at anchor off
the island of Kiushiu and just
three of the 100000 returned
alive to China. Down through
the centuries, year after year,
the typhoon, or hurricane, takes
the greatest toll of any OF the
manifestations Of the wrath OF
nature.

A strange people, the Basques
one Of the strangest on the
face Of the earth. Your gueSS
is as good as mine, or the next

Some ethnologists trace them
back to the Phoenician traders,
others link them with the Geor-
gians of the Caucasus, and still
others believe them to be sur
vivors of the 10 lost tribes Of
Israel. Be that as it may, they
speak a language which is both
unintelligible and unpronounce-
able, like none other-although
a Japanese can understand g
few words and the Ce1ts can see

forbears did 10 centuries ago

However, the Basque today il
not bent on repelling visitors az
perforce his ancestors were.
Strangers are not welcome, but
when they come, they find the
Basque hospitable, courteous
and willing to discuss the az
fairs of the world. They find a
proud race, and why not? Since
the Kings of Castillo had or
dained that every Basque was
nobleman.
The visitor sees, too, in the
bold eyes and handsome fea-
lures of his host, that faraway,
indefinable look of the mystic, a
quality of mind and soul which
was so pronounced in those two
great Basques-Ignatius Loyala
and Ferdinand Foch.

Foreign Policy Agitators Get
Aid From Present Congress
By James T. Williams, Jr.

Congress is under increasing
pressure from organized agita-
tors for unpreparedness to aban-
don our traditional foreign pol
icy and further weaken our ma
tional defense.
These agitators have adopted
what they call a foreign policy
program" which includes the
following mischief making pro
posalS:
Entrance Of the United States
into the League of Nations
through its back door by the
immediate ratification of the
League Court protocols.
Proclamation by the Roose-
welt Administration of the terms
on which it would be willing to
take the United States into
the front door Of the League
by accepting membership in all
departments Of the League.
Entanglements
Investigation Of the muni-
tionS industry in this coun-
try, presumably for the pur-
pose Of popularizing the French
scheme to make this country
wholly dependent in peace time
upon government manufacture
Of arms and munitions Of war.
Adoption by the Congress Of
an arms embargo resolution
which would in effect give power
to the President to make war
without awaiting a declaration
Of war by Congress.
Abandonment of any further
naval construction until after
the next naval conference on
the limitation and reduction Of
armament, in spite of the fact
that our Navy has sunk to third
place among the navies of the
world and our Army to seven
teenth place among the armies
Of the world.

BY failing to appropriate for

up at all hours Of the day. Our
love was so fine and true! We
both are very modern in our
viewpoint-he is 38-and we
felt we had right to do with
our lives as we chose. So we
started living together.
Although I did not see him
regularly, he gave me every at
tention a wife might expect. I
had my own little apartment
and my charge account. We
went off on wonderful weekend
trips. Whenever he was out Of
town, he wrote me the most
beautiful love letters.
Then, suddenly, without a
word of warning, my little world
crashed. After all had done for
him, he fell in love with silly
little thing, and one morning I
opened the paper to read of his
marriage.
So now I'm alone and frantic.
I have a few jewels, some good
clotheS-but the best years Of
my youth are gone. Worse yet,
my reputation is ruined. I gave
up everything Cor him, including
a chance to marry a fine man
who now wouldn't look at me.

I'VE SACRIFICED AND WHAT

Popular Mandates

They have gone on record in
election after election in sup
port Of an aviation program
that would make the United
States supreme in the air.
They have opposed, under
both Democratic and Repub-
lican administrations and Con-
crosses, all schemes for foreign
interference in the ordering OF
our national defense.
They have given emphatic
approval to the expansion of
the Reserve Officers Training
Corps, the Citizens Military
Training Camps and the other
units of the Organized Reserves.
They have declared year
after year their faith in the
wisdom of George Washington's
maxim that Ito be prepared
for war is one Of the most
effectual means Of preserving
peace"
These popular mandates the
present Congress will flout if
it continues to surrender to
the organized pressure Of
agitatorS Of unpreparedness
who are striving to cripple our
national defense and to scrap
the traditional foreign policy
bequeathed to his people by
the Father Of His Country in
the Farewell Address.

abetting this sapping exped-
ton to undermine our national

BY adopting a fatuous reso-
luton to investigate what is
left Of our munitions industry,
by threatening to take up and
ratify the League Court proto-
coils, the Senate is encouraging
these agitatorS Of unprepared-
ness to press their campaign
to abandon our traditional for
eign policy and further cripple
our defense establishment.
The American people have re-
