COMMUN1QUE IGNORES
u. s. COMMUNICATION

TOKYO, May 1.-(R1-1he communl.
cation Of Cordell Hull, United States
secretary Of state, on Japanese policy
in the Far East was pointedly ignored
in q written communique given by the
foreign office to the japanese press
Tuesday night.
Although the Hull statement was
published complete In local afternoon
newspapers and was the principal
topic Of discussion in diplomatic and
official circles. the communique does
not mention it except to reiterate its
contention that the head Of the
American state department indicated
the United States unwillingness to
accept the japanese Hands off Asia"
stand.
The communique, which reviews the
recent declarations Of Foreign Min.
lister Koki Hirota, Ambassador Jo-
seph G. Crew Of the United States,
and Ambassador Sir Francis Lindley
Of Great Britain. was 50 timed and
framed as to give the japanese people
the impression that Tokyo had the
last word in the past fortnight's in
ternational exchanges, leaving defi-
nitely on the records Of the world q
declaration Of Japan's unique position
in East Asia.
The communique, which q high Of
ficial said he hoped would close the
controversy definitely. contains the
japanese text Of Hirota's April Is
note to ambassadors Crew and Lind
ley in which were contained the key
note Of Japan's position.

policy, as expressed by Secretary Of
State Cordell Hull, was voiced in the
japanese press Tuesday.
The reaction was in sharp contrast
to the manner in which word Of Great
Britains willingness to drop the
whole matter, raised by the japanese
foreign office declaration Of April II,
was received.
Morning newspapers headlined Sir
John Simon's speech, delivered Mon.

Afternoon newspapers, however,
splashed Secretary Hull's statement
with his portrait and such head
lines as:
America Calls on Japan to Consid-
er the Rights Of Other Powers" and
America Calls Japan's Attention to
the Nine Power Treaty.
Secretary Hull said in his note, de-
ivered to Hirota through Ambassador

The tuberculosis Report.

The committee of experts has sub
mitted its recommendations for a
modern and adequate anti-tuberculosis
campaign in time for the Commits
sioners to lay these findings before
the Senate subcommittee on District
appropriations, which will shortly take
up the 1895 District bill just passed
by the House.
AS outlined by the committee, the
needs for adequate work Of prevention
and treatment of tuberculosis fall
into two classes. One relates to the
necessary physical equipment, such
as a new and enlarged hospital for
adults and a modern clinic. The
other relates to necessary personnel,
including the appointment Of a quail
fed, full-time director of anti-tuber-
culosis work, and an enlarged staff
and greater use Of instructive visiting
nurses, the community sharing the
expense of their work.
Right now the proposal for en-
larged hospital facilities is under the
serious consideration of the authori
ties in connection with the possible
use of borrowed money from the
Public Works Administration. The
cost Of such an undertaking might
we'll be spread over a number of years.
But the effect of meeting other
needs recommended by the Commits
sioners' committee would be to in
crease Immediately the size of the
local budget, prospective revenues for
which have been so heavily reduced
by sharp reductions in the lump sum.
The only way to carry out the recon-
mendations of the committee lies in
providing the money, and the only
way to provide the money is to in
crease local appropriations.
The Commissioners have responded
quickly and effectively to the demand
for a more enlightened and vigorous
program of anti-tuberculosis work in
the District. Their next step is to
lay the recommendations of their
committee before the Senate when its
hearings on the pending District bill
begin and ask Congress to formulate
necessary policy. The uncertainty
over any consistent policy of meeting
District needs represents one Of the
chief handicaps to adequate commun-
ity maintenance and development.
Provision of adequate anti-tuberculosis
facilities is only one of many nee
essary undertakings.

Religion Endangered
By Activity of Reds

To the Editor Of The Star:
The writer is antagonistic toward
Communism, not only because 1t seeks
to undermine our Government, but
because above all else Communism Is
antagonistic toward religion. It Is
hostile toward all creeds, and re-
ligion Is the rock and cornerstone upon
which our country was founded. Take
religion from the world and we will
all go back to barbarism and the
dark ages and civilization will perish.
The writer happens to have been
reared in a Protestant home, but by
the term religion mean all creeds, as
it seems to me the time has come
when individuals of all denominations
must unite against the forces of crime
and radicalism and lawlessness that
threaten to overwhelm America and
in fact the world, as it Is q universal
problem. DOROTHY A. DAVIS.

The New York Herald-Tribune con-
cludes: THE tniquity of this act lies

cynicism. The ink Is scarcely dry on

An Important Event.
om the Dayton (Ohio) Herald.

From the Dayton (Ohio) Herald.
The great withdrawal Of the Amer
lean fleet Of 113 naval vessels from
the Pacific to the Atlantic ocean is on
and will continue until May 81, when
1t will be assembled for review by the
President In New York Harbor.
The passage Of the feet from one
ocean to another is an imposing naval
spectacle, unequaled anywhere else on
earth. Besides the spectacular fea-
lures, the cruise to the Atlantic will
be accompanied by mass migration
of thousands of persons-the families
Of officers and enlisted men who will
follow the feet from the West Coast
to the East by steamship, train and
automobile.
This marks the first time In two
years the feet has left Pacific waters,
but 1t is not a long withdrawal, for
after East Coast maneuvers this Sum-
mer and Fall it will return to the
West Coast November /. 1t may be
recalled that the retention Of the
entire American naval power in the
Pacific for so long time was the sub
ject Of considerable protest on the
part of Japanese newspapers, who
viewed it-or professed to view it-as
threat against the island empire.

"Free Shows" I"

Washington probably has as many
different varieties of free shows" as
any other city in the world, and
there must be thousands who make 1t
regular practice to take advantage
Of the unending sequence Of enter
tainments. Yesterday, for example,
there was the Cherry Blossom Festi-
val parade, colorful pageant in
spite Of the chill breeze which swept
the Avenue. Last night the fireworks
we're well worth seeing. Crowds at
tended both attractions.
But even when no specially ar
ranged program is in progress the
Capital provides a multiplicity of
spectacles. The President, of course,
always is the principal magnet-his
coming and going is news to see as
well as to read about. Either house
of Congress, also, draws a capacity
gallery. The arrival and departure
of visiting notabilities makes Union
Station a center of interest for many
who like to behold celebrities in the
flesh.
The Library Of Congress and the
Smithsonian Institution offer gratui-
tous displays of cultural values. The
Corcoran Gallery presents a wealth
of art for public inspection. The
Folger Library represents an accumu-
lation of the literature and pictorial
relics of an unparalleled epoch of his
tory. The Freer Gallery is a treasury
of the plastic genius of ancient Japan
and, as personified in Whistler, mod
ern America.
The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing and the Government Printing
Office are the largest institutions of
their kind in the world, while the
Bureau of Standards and the Naval
Observatory likewise occupy unique
positions in their respective fields of
science. On Mount st. Alban pilgrims
may watch a cathedral a-building,
and at the other end Of the city the
beautiful Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception is steadily moving toward
completion. The Lincoln Memorial is
one of the most glorious architectural
conceptions to be found anywhere on
earth, and the individual who has not

More Trouble in Paris.

Anticipations that the French gov
ernment's rigid economy program
would not be popularity accepted with
out violent protest have been prompt
ly realized. Yesterday, as an apparent
test or dress rehearsal for even more
bitter demonstrations on May day,
the streets of Paris in the vicinity of
the City Hall were the scene of riotous
clashes between police and workers.
Before the melee was ended nearly
q thousand arrests were made.
The disturbances were of deliberate
Socialist and Communist origin and
staged as formal protest against the
governments "Fascism." They were
carried out on a scale ominously
reminiscent of the sanguinary events
of February 6, but advance police and
military precautions suff1ced to pre-
vent them from assuming the "revo-
iutionary" character of the turmoil of
three and a half months ago.
The Doumergue government of ma
tional salvation" seems persuaded
that Fridays upheaval was only .
curtain raiser for a more ambitious
show Of Socialist Communist force on
May /. The cabinets anxiety is not
lessened by indications that the prov
inces, as well as metropolitan Paris,
are the seats of unrest. While police
were battling workers in the capital

Bordeaux, as the outgrowth Of q
Communist protest against the trial
of a school teacher charged with In

The press almost unanimously joins
with President Roosevelt in denounc-
ing legislation to impose tax on
coconut Oil from the Philippines
while the islands ars still under the
jurisdiction of the United States.
President Roosevelt has made a
statement on the subject emphasizing
the fact that our future trade rela-
tions with the islands are governed
by one section of the independence bill
which represents definite commit
ments to the government and the
people of the islands" He added:
That section contemplates that there
be no restriction placed upon Philip
pine coconut oil and copra coming
into the United States until after the
Inauguration of the government Of the
commonwealth of the Philippine Is
lands. 1t is my view that the imposi-
tion of an excise tax on coconut oil
Y ould be a violation of the spirit of
this section of the independence act,
and that such provision should be
eliminated from the revenue bill"
"The effect upon the FilipinoS, If
this breach Of good faith IS allowed to
stand" according to the New York
Times, will certainly be harmful.
Their commissioner at Washington
made q solemn remonstrance against
the proposed legislation, pointing out
what a disaster it would mean to
Philippine industry and commerce,
and intimating that 1t might produce
so much bad feeling as to cause the
Congress at Manila to reject the in
dependence bill again. Once more it
Is shown that our Congress is inGiffer-
ent to what may truthfully be called
the plighted word Of the United States
Government"
Protest Is voiced by the Oklahoma
News, with the explanation of the
effect of the legislation: 1T Is tax
that would mulct consumers of many
millions. and yield the Government
little. The difference would flow into
the pockets of the cottonseed crushers,
packers and professors Of dairy prod
ucts It Is tax that would PROSTATE
a basic industry in the Philippine Is
lands, and thus destroy a profitable
foreign market for American farm
products and manufactures. 1t Is a
tax that would violate the United
States 3-week-old independence
pledge to the Filipino people, and en-
danger success of our peace policy in
the Far East
The plan to return to the Philip
pine government proceeds from the
tax, in the opinion of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, "does not in any way
touch the evils that would flow from
the levy" The Chronicle comments
further: "1t would not save the Pa
cific Coast coconut oil refining indus
try, or the steamship lines between
the islands and the United States, or
help the soap and cosmetic manufac-
turers that use coconut oil. Nor would
it cure the injustice to the Philip
pines-which is its pretense-for 1t
would do no good to the island COCO

The Fortunate Ones.

There Is democracy Of envy,
philosophers say. It. seems to be
natural for people to want what they
imagine others have. For hundreds Of
centuries great religious and ethical
teachers have warned against the sin,
and yet avarice Of one kind or an
other remains q characteristic trait
Of the average human mind. Men
and women pine for capacities, talents
and material things which they be-
hold in the possession of their neigh
bors.
And yet 1t appears to be a law Of
life that compensations should be
granted with prodigal generosity. An
awkward and bashful boy receives by
providential beneficence a genius for
the representation of natural beauty
on canvas and wins immortality as
a painter. A girl almost painfully
plain and unattractive Is granted the
voice Of an angel and earns a million
dollars singing for the radio. An
engineer, crippled In an accident,
turns to fiction and attains celebrity
as a writer Of adventure stories about
railroading. An actress, blinded in an
explosion, composes a book Of sonnets
filled with the music of undying
Spring An old soldier, retired from
battle, employs his leisure as cabinet
maker, building furniture which con-
noisseurs appreciate with enthusiasm.
A pensioned school teacher. obeying
an instinct long denied, attains un-
challenged eminence among woman
camera artists.
The list Is endless, and to 1t might
be added many whose economic status
has changed, who theoretically have
"lost everything" in the worldwide
depression and thereby have found
themselves"-men who have been
liberated from the devastating anx-
ieties Of speculation and for the first
time in years breathe freely; women
who have been emancipated from pat
terms Of pretense and have redis-
covered the quiet joys Of commonplace
but happy homes.
PLATE asked: What is the truth?"
But he might have inquired with
equal reason: who are the really
fortunate ones?" The nihilist, of
course, would answer: Nobody" It
would be left to the serene pragmatic
optimist to reply: by the grace Of
God, all earth's striving children"
The fact is that every individual Is
both lucky and unlucky, and the bal
ance may waver but never suspend.

A Legislative Gem
For District Subjects
To the Editor OF The Star:


The printed copy Of the bill intro
duced in the House Of Representatives
to broaden the powers of the Commits
sioners of the District Of Columbia
In making municipal regulations "and
ordinances" and assisting the Con-
gress in dispatch of It's business" dis
closes the most dazzling gem that has
glistened in the legislative hopper on
the Hill for many long, long day.
Imagine legislature creating as
sistant legislators to help them do
their work-to the extent that, con-
sistently with the Constitution Of the
United States" the power of local
lawmaking may be delegated by the
Congress to such Commissioner leg
islators!
The conspicuous ability of District
Commissioners as renowned law
makers must have made a deep dent
in the mind of the mechanic who
put together the bill, for its brilliance
is most dazzlingly evident in the
following:
Section 4. Any law heretofore en-
acted by Congress on any subject
concerning which the Commissioners
are herein authorized and empowered
to make regulations or ordinances
shall remain in force and effect until
such time as the Commissioners adopt
regulations or ordinances inconsistent
Herewith in conformity with the pro-
visions of this act"
The laws of Congress affected, It
appears, are to survive merely up to
the time the Commissioners make
regulations or ordinances inconsistent
Herewith. Then these laws made by
constitutional legislators become in
effective without direct action at the
time by Congress-simply by "incon-
sistent" legislation by administrative
District Commissioner assistant legis-
lators-and without the direct ap-
proval at the time of inconsistency by
the President of the United States.
If to administrative governing off,
GERS Is to be given such marvellous and
comprehensive legislative powers, the
bill needs but one additional section
to achieve superlative perfection. That
section should read:
Section s. And the Declaration Of
Independence is hereby declared to be
of no force and effect, and the Con-
stitution of the United States is here
by repealed"
JOSEPH w. CHENEY.
