PLY conceived corrective action. The
smoking public and the purveyors Of
smoking materials are left quite in
the dark as to the reasoning involved
in this bold stroke for the re-estab-
lishment of the economic balance.
The matchmakers, their patrons who
use their goods for advertising pur-
poses and the ultimate consumers must
figure out their own deductions. Un-
der the present dispensation matches
have become virtually free, from the
point of view of the tobacco dealer
and the ultimate smoker. True, two
pads of matches are more than
enough to light one package of ciga-
rettes, twice more than enough. The
smoker who asks for two is perhaps
accommodating a surplus for domestic
use. Perhaps that is the real OBJ
jective of this new order. Pos
sibly the manufacturers who put
forth their wares in boxes without ad-
vertising labels have complained. That
may be the explanation. And. II so, 1t
would have saved much speculation

aides had so stated when the "one-

director of the National Society for
the Prevention of Blindness, in q
statement just issued pleading for a

Fourth of July.
"As an important measure toward
the protection of children's eyesight, +"
said MIR. Carris. "the National Society
for the Prevention Of Blindness ad-
vocates complete prohibition Of the
manufacture and sale of dangerous
toys, such as firecrackers, torpedoes.

devices for projecting missiles.
Instead of carelessly permitting

Hindenburg and the Nazis.

Repercussions from Vice Chancellor
Won Papen's bold assault on Nazi
extremism still reverberate through
Germany. Developments during the
week confirm early impressions that
the incident Is destined to have far
reaching consequences. Their full
nature may be clearer after today's
conference between Chancellor Hitler
and President Won Hindenburg at the
latter's estate in East Prussia, where
Herr Hitler was preceded by the vice
chancellor.
Meantime the aged President has
indicated his approval Of Col. Won
Papen's action by sending him q
telegram of congratulation. AS further
evidence that they see eye to eye
respecting current events in the Reich
is the disclosure that Col. Won Papen
supplied the President with an
advance copy of the now celebrated
Marburg address, while no such
courtesy was extended to Chancellor
Hitler.
President Won Hindenburg has long
since been deprived under the Man
regime of any actual power or
authority, but his personal popularity
and prestige are still enormous. The
army in particular is devoted to him,

fireworks" Miss Kerby says in her
report:
Fireworks cause % per cent of all
eye accidents to children. 1t is ex-
tremely fortunate for the children
that this type Of plaything is not
available for the celebration of all
holidays. The variations in the cir
cumstances of f1recracker accidents
arc usually such as to increase the
eye hazard; for example, holding the
flrecracker in the hand brings it
nearer to the eye, while placing it in
a bottle, tin can, iron pipe, etc., makes
a bigger and better explosion-and
incidentally the fragments hurled
about are more destructive.
"Torpedoes, which are frequently
labeled harmless, are particularly
dangerous to the eye. since the small
pebbles contained in them can so
easily penetrate the eyeball. Similar
in type to the accidents caused by
firearms and fireworks are those which
are due to explosives, particularly
dynamite percussion caps, gasoline
and other highly explosive chemicals.
And, while we are considering
articles which must be kept out Of
reach of the children, let us not for
get that there are many things in
common use in the household which
must be absolutely forbidden to the
small child of the runabout age.
These are the sharp-pointed objects
knives, scissors, nails. wires, hooks,
sticks, etc. To allow a small tot to
cut a string with a knife is simply
to court disaster. Even the older boy
cannot safely be trusted with a jack
knife until he understands thoroughly
the principles of safe usage"

1t will also be remembered that on the
day that Japan's diplomatic buster
had reached its crescendc the Chinese
police brought IN the hungry and be-
fuddled little vice consul with his
story of a peculiarly futile attempt at
suicide. This story the Chinese took
the precaution to hear, and 10 let
others hear before they delivered Mr..
Kuramoto to his superiors; that IS, be-
fore he could be coached in an account
of his escapade that would have been
more consistent with his own official
dignity, and that would not have made
Japan's ominous official demeanor dur
ing his absence ridiculous in the sight
of the world.
The loss of face" to Japan was stag
geripg, as the Chinese, of course, fore
saw. The recovery of it in some part
is the most imperative duty of all jap
anese officialdom, and the orthodox
means to this end is, as we have seen,
a dramatic display of thoroughly un-
reasonable indignation. Japan is,
therefore, protesting as loudly as her
publicity system will permit that the
Marking authorities, who heard and
published Mr. Kuramoto's story before
his superiors could edit it, have out
ragged Japan and owe her profound
apolcgy-in the justice of which every
small boy will concur.

The glorious heights to explore.
But an aeroplane hits me in progress

We shall meet on Utopia's shore.

With a threat that the cannon will
The comfort we find is to smile and

Better Control, Lower Tax,
Demanded I'm Oil Industry

porters Of new legislation claim that
several of the State authorities are
all0tting State quotas beyond those
suggested by the Government. Also
that much excess of hot oil is being
produced in contravention of the
quotas. 1t is claimed that if the pro-
duction Of excess oil is not stopped
there will be general disregard of the
restrictions on production and that
the bottom will then fall out of the oil
market again"
Observing a desire to place oil with
cotton as a regimented industry, the
Wichita Eagle suggests that "a con-
trolled industry can become pretty ex-
plosive around election time" The
Long Beach (Calif) Press-Telegram
voices the protest on the subject OF
taxation: ''The oil industry has be-
come the easy mark of the tax-levying
agencies of this country. Nation,
States and some cities have had their
dig at it. Much of it is legitimate,
but the total is excessive, out of pro-
portion to the wealth of the industry
and to the burden of taxation placed

said to be the equivalent of the COL
lection Of $1,000 in taxes from every
worker In the industry. Every
operation and all products of the oil

are levied on it-24 by the National
Government, 68 by State governments,
by county governments and IS by
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to a review
of the subject in the Texas Weekly,
which advocates a reduction of taxa
tion on oil as measure of economic
justice and prudence. According to
its analysis, the average State and
Federal gasoline tax last year was a
retail sales tax of 1889 per cent and
wholesale sales tax of more than 100
per cent. The combined effect Is de-
pressing on the industry and If con-
tinued may prove disastrous"
The Austin (Tex) American adds:
Texans pay 500 900, 900 annually to
the makers Of things-the manufac-
turers Of the industrial States OF the
North and the East. Now their chief
industry. oil. is being taxed more than
the traffic will bear. What will happen
to the people Of Texas, as well as the
more than 1,000, 900 given employment
in the petroleum industry, should the
Federal Government assume absolute

visualized a mass of opposition and
hostility well designed to command
the respect of Chancellor Hitler and
his extremist supporters, no matter
how strongly intrenched they believe
themselves to be.
Herr Hitler has declined to accept
Col. von Papen's resignation and
even admitted the justice of the vice
chancellor's criticism. 1t is appar-
ent that the Nazi chief Is anxious
to avoid a rupture that could pre-
maturely wreck the work of Ger

less plain that the Won Papen OUT

eventual result of which may be
revolutionary changes in the "totali-
