IT is not surprising. therefore,
Il that China practically is never
free from revolts. Generally
speaking, there are two or three
going on in different parts of the
country at the same time. At
present there are four.
1t is practical considerations
such as these that are debating
the present course of General
Chang Kai-shek, China's general
issimo, strong man." and chair
man of the national military
council.
When Japan seized Mukden, he
did nothing. When she overran
all Manchuria, he did not go to
the rescue.
At Shanghai, it was the Nine
tenth Route Army, even then
more or less hostile to the gov
eminent at Marking, that bore
the brunt of the Japanese assault.
And when Jehol was invaded,
General Chiang's resistance was
only nominal.
There was much hostile criti-
cism in his own country. He was
charged with playing into the
hands of the enemy. But the ex-
PLANTATION given to me makes it
all very simple.
WHY throw away our best
w soldiers?" an official que
ried I'VE hadn't the fainteSt
chance to win. We would mere
ly have weakened ourselves still
further and gained nothing"
When machine gun battaions
and batteries of field artillery fell
back from Jehol on Peiping, the
best of the material was pulled
out first If any of it was to be
captured, let it be the oldest and
poorest.
IRON the maze of difficulties
Il which beset China on all
sides, inside and out, there has
emerged a plan. Why continue to
poke about futilely in a dozen
different directions at once?

For it is not the good faith of
the administration that is really
in question, but the wisdom of
certain Of its policies, and what
the friends of the new deal need
to be concerned about is not the
attack or reactionaries who want
to go back to what Mr.. Tugwell
calls "the racketeering, the f1nan-
cial juggling, the exploitation"
of 1929, but the unmistakable
danger that some parts of the
new deal are in destructive con-
f1ict with other parts of it.
It is not malignant purpose, but
confusion of purposes, that raises
the important issues and is Great
ing resistance.
For evidence of the real state
of affairs congress is the most re-
liable witness. What do we find?
We find an immense sentiment
for more imitation arising from
the political supporters of the ad-
ministration
The President may be able to
check it in this session of con-
gresS, but he is compelled to use
all his personal prestige to do it.
This IS certainly an extraordinary
situation when one remembers
that the dollar has been devalued
by 40 per cent. that we are run
ming an immense budgetary de-

Huey has a penchant for ef-
fects, and he was playing these at
Halves expense. He would go over
to Halves desk in the senate
chamber. pull up a chair next to
him, slap him on the knee, en-
gage in deep and apparently plot
ting conversation. Departing,
Huey would nod his head vigor-
ously as if they had agreed on
important policy
Then Huey would take the
floor. deliver a vitriolic diatribe-
usually against Democratic floor
leader Joe Robinson. Upon fin
ishing. he would 60 back to
Halves, indulge in further conf
dental whispering. The impression
left with the galleries and the
rest of the senate was that he and
Halves we're in agreement on the
speech.
Finally, Halves put an end to
it. When Huey came up for an
other confidential chat HAYES
stormed:
Get away from me and stay
away! I refuse to have it appear
that I'm in on these plans of
yours"
THAT was the beginning. The
Il habit of the cold shoulder for
Huey spread rapidly through the
senate. 1t gained Roadway when
another Of his pastimes came into
the open.
A Democratic member might
have some bill in the finance COM
mittee, for example, with nine
sure votes for it, and the neces-
sary tenth vote apparently GER
tain but not signed up. Huey
would approach the sponsor of
the bill, observing:
You need one more vote in the
finance committee. I'll deliver
it to you in writing. if you want
me to"
Easy enough. A couple of hours
later he'd come back with writ
ten promise of the vote. Weeks
later, when he wanted support on
one of his own measures, the in
cident would bounce back with a
vengeance. Going to the sponsor
of the former bill, Huey would
say:
I got that vote for you that
day in the finance committee. 1t
was a tough one to put across,
too. Now in this bill of mine to-

nippon.
Chinese leaders do not try to
conceal their belief that the po-
sition of the republic is precari-
Gus. They are convinced that Tapa-
neSe activities on the Asiatic
mainland just have begun.
They fully expect further sg-
erosion from that quarter. And
they are unanimous that, so far
as China is concerned, she can
not stop them.
That is the basis of China's
present program.
CECOND, China is now keenly
~ aware that for an indefinite
period to come she can expect lit
tie or no practical help from the
league of nations, the nine-power
treaty signatories, or any of the
other component parts of the
world peace machinery. Ergo,
China must begin to look out for
herself.
But this she can not do if, in
addition to facing attacks from
without, she must engage in two
or three civil wars inside her own
borders.
In addition to China proper,
there are Manchuria, Jehol, Mon
golia, Chinese Turkestan and
Tibet and China has no means
of getting at any of them.
Bluntly, the Chinese geography
for the moment is too vast. The
power of the Marking government
simply won't spread that far.
1t is doubtful even if the strong
est of the western powers could
cope with China's foreign and
domestic difficulties, given her
dearth of communications.
From Marking to western Sim
kiang and Tibet takes two or
three months by primitive and
perilous river and camel travel.

tlclt, are pumping out billions of
dollars, and have created great
facilities for monetary expansion.
IN spite of all this, the infla-
l. zionist tide has been rising.
You do not find anything like it
in England or Australia or Canada
or Scandinavia, where the depreS-
sion has been very severe. In
these countries there has been
about the same sort of initiation
that we are having, but there is
no great public sentiment, as
there is here, for drastic increases
in the speed and the amount of
initiation.
What is the difference in our
positions? The difference, it
seems to me, is that those coun-
tries are allowing initiation to pro-
duce its results, while we have
been neutralizing it at vital points.
There are at least three of these
vital points.
First, by the blanket code and
NRA the cost of production has
been raised before industry had
increased its volume enough to
carry these costs.
This has given those big COM
panieS which are most efficient a
competitive advantage over weak
er companies and small enter
prises; the net effect is to curtail
production as a whole and to re-
tard unemployment.
The President has recognized
this fact in his dealings with rail-
roal labor; he has opposed wage
increases for those who are en-
ployed because, as he quite rightly
says, they will prevent the rail-
roads from hiring those who are
not employed. Yet industry as a
whole has been dealt with on the
very opposite principle.
CECOND, by permitting and
- even encouraging monopo-
listic practices under the codes,
prices of manufactured goods
have been maintained and sub
stantially raised. This has made
it harder to sell goods and has
nullifled in large part the m
crease Of money wages and the
program to raise farm prices to
their old parity.
Third, by the punitive features
Of the securities act, and by Ger
tain features of the banking act,
the channels have been blocked
through which the new credit
created by the monetary policy
can find its way into industry and
agriculture, there to create a de-
mand for goods and labor.
These three features of the new
deal program are highly def1a-
tionary. They have checked to a
considerable degree both he resto-
ration of profitable working rela-
tionship between prices and costs
and the flow of new purchasing
power into industry.
Ever since last July We have
been whipsawed between the
monetary policy on the one hand,
NRA and the financial reforms on
the other. In the spring Of q year
ago the imitation was set in
motion and produced an enor-
nous relief.
