Unfortunate Talk.

Periodically. during the past few
years. Gen. William Mitchell has use
fully, if sometimes sensationally, drawn
the country's attention to its ayia-
ton needs in the realm of land and
sea defense. He now renders a
highly questionable national service in
publicly stigmatizing Japan as 1.-The
most dangerous enemy" and pleading
for construction of transoceanic planes
designed to attack Japan"
Asserting yesterday before the Fed
eral Aviation Commission that fifty
dirigibles could destroy Japan within
two days if war broke out with the
United States, the former chief OF
the Army Air Corps advocated the
development of American planes with
a cruising range Of from six to eight
thousand miles. He would make de-
tailed plans for evacuation Of New
York City in case of an air attack
by Japan from a base in Alaska"
On the very day that Gen. Mitchell
was expounding his views in Wash
ington Japan was stirred by a Toxic
war Office publication, warning the ma
ton afresh Of the dangers Of war with
the Soviet Union. The pamphlet
stresses the perils Of attack by air.
1t refers rot only to the three thousand
war planes possessed by the Soviet,
but mentions that the United States
has an equally large number, while
China has five hundred. If these ma
tions combined" the Toxic militarist
document declares, "the air forces of
the powers surrounding Japan would
total more than six thousand planes, as
against Japan's one thousand. Can our
ornaments be said to be complete in
the face of such facts?"
1t is, of course, not only the privi-
lege, but the duty, Of the authorities
Of any country charged with its ma
tional defense arrangements to en-
vision every contingency that could
possibly call for the employment Of its
armed forces. But it is not within
the province Of any nation publicly
to single out another, with which its
relations are friendly and undisturbed,
as the enemy" at which war prepara-
tions should be primarily directed.
Such tactics undermine the founda-
tions on which peace rests and
grievously handicap the efforts of
craftsmanship to keep those founda-
tions intact.
Gen. Mitchell's outburst is partic-
ularly unfortunate and regrettable at
this time. 1t synchronizes with q
concerted effort on the part of Toxic
imperialists to create national senti-
ment in favor of stiff -necked jap
anese demand for an increase In naval
strength up to the point of parity
with Great Britain and the United
States. Talk about Japan as our
"most dangerous enemy" does no good
here, and because it inevitably irri-
tates and alarms the japanese it does
immeasurable harm over there.
Gen. Mitchell is indulging in a
perilous pastime in blurting out pri-
vate opinions capable of inf1aming
international passions at a moment
when there was never greater need
for understanding, conciliation and
cool-headedneSs.

Business did not receive in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recent broadcast
anywhere near that measure of re
assurance" it seeks. but on the whole
the latest White House flreside chat
evokes satisfaction. The Presidents
plan to bring about trial truce" as
the basis for industrial peace is the
thing that pleases the business world
most 1t is delighted, too, with his
tributes to the driving force of in
dividual initiative" and "the incen-
tive of fair private profit" To those
eager to grasp even at straws Mr..
Roosevelt would seem to be relaxing
bit on regimentation. But beyond
these grains of comfort captains of
commerce and finance find little
cause for jubilation. They will keep
on pressing for definite indication Of
administration purposes about cur
rency, taxation, Federal expenditure
and budget balancing. These are is
sues which in the estimation Of buSi-
ness leaders transcend reorganization
OF N. r. A., vital as this is. Where
all the money is coming from to
pay the New Deal piper and what
kind of dollar is in proSpect-theSe
continue to be the paramount ques-
tions disturbing the national business
| mind.
Most listeners thought they detected
judicial moderation in the Presi-
dents talk, in notable contrast to the
militant punch of previous broadcasts.
Anything savoring of sledge-hammer
criticism of business, though generally
expected, was conspicuous by its abb
sence. F. D. RS whole manner
seemed conciliatory and, in the opin-
ion of many auditors, was even de-
fensive in tone. He did not in any
respect back-track on his basic atti-
tude toward recovery problems. but
appeared at pains to arouse a minimum
of friction. The President, being
politician as we'll as statesman, does
not forget that congressional elections
are Just around the corner, and that
it is not the part of wisdom to aggra-
vate the Nations great commercial
community. That element IS pretty
anti Roosevelt, as it is. and there's
no virtue, from the Democratic stand
point, in stirring it up at this WITCH
ing hour.
President Roosevelt commits what,
| in the minds of all true Britons, is
an almost objectionable. though COM
mon, sin in referring Gas he so effec-
lively did in Sunday nights broad
cast) to England" when he means
Great Britain. England is only part
| of Great Britain, as Scotsmen and
Welshmen so vigorously remind people
whenever the occasion arises. Over
| there, when a Yankee speaks Of John
Bulls tight little isle as England"
your Britisher is ready to explode
and explain that in the far-flung
realm over which Emperor King
George reigns there is no such
official designation as England.
When he addresses the sixtieth an
nual convention of the American
Bankers Association in Washington
on october "a it is regarded a FORE
gone conclusion that President Roose-
welt will utilize that appropriate oc-
casion for a long-awaited pronounce-
ment on purely monetary matters.
This engagement may have caused
the omission of financial topics in the
presidential broadcast of September

THE MUT1NY OF MADAME YES.
BY Dale Collins. Indianapolis:
The Bobbs- Merrill Co.
A sea yarn, sparkling with life and
overfowing with adventure, is this
new product of the author of Lost"
and Vulnerable" Would any one
save Dale Collins, with his exceptional
power of imagination, place woman
in command of a shipload of ammuni-
ton and then make her the head Of a
crew of pirates?
Capt. Pettibow was spending his
last evening ashore in a notable
saloon in Jondon's East End, hoping
that fortune might smile upon him
as it had upon an inconsequential
sailorman of his acquaintance some
months before. and consign to his
tender affection wife of wealth and
position in that upper circle of So
ciety with which he was unac-
quainted. The woman who seated
herself at his table was neither
wealthy nor of the elect. But what
q woman she was! The captain, a
discreet and gentle soul. was so over
come by the wonder of her that he
induced her to leave her sightseeing
party and accompany him on board
ship. No time for a marriage cere-
mony before sailing, but that could
be managed later. Felicity, however,
entertained ideas differing widely
from those Of the captain.
A merry time prevailed on the
T'u-huo-lung as officers and crew
became infatuated with the glamor-
GUS woman who had a ready smile
and a disposition of comradeship for
all of them. The only shadow over
hanging what promised to be an en-
chanting voyage from England to
China with a cargo of guns and am
munition was the presence on board
of the selfish, spiteful, continually
nagging wife Of the engineer. But
more serious difficulties than the evil
tongue of Mrs. Martin threatened
disaster long before the ship had
completed half the voyage.
Capt. Pettibow died suddenly of a
heart attack. On arrival at an African
port, information is received that the

eide rather than face the scandal
which bankruptcy would reveal. The
war lord in China to whom the cargo
was consigned, it was learned, had dis
banded his army and gone into re-
tirement. No orders, no pay, no des-
tination! The crew organized for mu-
tiny. But Madame Yes had already
vot,fipiad opd waS therefore several
leaps ahead of them. Assuming COM
imand of the ship, this superwoman
organized every human on board save
Mrs Martin, converted the craft into
a pirate of the high seas, cleaned sew
eral fortunes in this enterprise, and,
incidentally, won the affection of every
man in the outfit. What happens
afterward is even more thrilling.
The story is really q delicious COM
edy, effervescent with humor, highly
entertaining and as fascinating as it
is incredible.

Louise Comes Back
 Are you there ?" It was Louise Fazenda answering her phone. She was expecting q certain. call and was surprised when she found your correspondent on the other end of the wire. Hiding her disappoint- ment, she invited me over and when I came I found coffee and homemade cake in unlimited quan titles. Between gulps, the conver- sation drifted naturally to her screen work.
 "Of couhse I want to continue working now that the baby is old enough not to need me all the time" she said. "I wouldn't know what to do with myself if l didn't work occasionally.
 Besides, like the money. Even though Hal is doing very well, like the idea of having some money of my own" Her husband, Harold Wallis, is a studio manager.
