Mann VIII Not Race

TWO or maybe slightly more can play the game of
II diplomacy, but it is not sport in which the
multitude is permitted to participate And this I
think is very foolish and truly tragic error A war
is invariably sllcomers tourna. nd in it the
diplomat draws a bye According, ale should not
be permitted to indulge his own in the pre-
hminaries without outside aid and interference.
For instance. Norman H. Davis is our ambassa
dor-at-large. 1 didn't put him there. Did you? I
think I seem to hear a resounding no" from all
around the circle.
The situation being what it is I believe that Mr.
Davis may quite possibly take far too much upon
himself when he is seized with epistolary urge
toward Japan. Mr.. Davis has been quoted as say
ing that Japan endangers the security of the whole
world by refusing to continue the $3.50 naval ratio
Unless there is some alteration in the japanese
plan Norman H. Davis threatens that they must pre-
pare themselves for naval race and that the fault
will be all their own
Why don't you speak for yourself Norman Race
or nor race. I'm not going to run. and I can find
numerous others who would like to sit out any fe-
verish period of preparedness.
If there must be this business of the writing of
letters I'd like to see rather more people in it.
Let's make them round-robins.

They Are All Brothers

UTHTLE the tempest RACES it is agreed that all
w men are brothers and sturdy ships under
the most solemn obligation to help weaker sisters
even at the peril of wind and wave. But the
storm abates and the calm down it becomes
again matter of concern to adjust fighting ratio
in such way as to assure bloody conflict along,
each nsvgabe coast.
Il seems 10 me that every lover of peace has a
right to worry ambassadors begin the exchange
Of little notes. OF the avowed object is ito
reach an understanding" But it is object seldom
attained by any such correspondence.
The way of diplomat is devious. Tt is a tradi-
ton maintained quite tragically through many CEN
turies. There is the firm note and the conciliatory
one They differ very little in their spirit No dplo
mat would consider himself worthy of that title if he
paid much attention to the other fellows words.
Instead he reads between the lines.
Always the true spirit of the dispute is set down
In some sort of invisible ink. When the note is
warmed before a fire these mysterious characters
come out quite plainly They have dull copper tinge
like the color of dried blood. The words we're set
down with a steel point hidden in the recesses of
a velvet glove.

Campaign after campaign is
waged against them, but the Com
muniStS divide before the adj
vancing columns like water before
a boat, then come together again
behind.
Sometimes there is fighting.
Generally, however, the Commu-
nists divide and allow the oppos-
ing factors to proceed through a
sort of corridor thus created.
Naturally the attackers get the
impression that the Communists
have scattered or been defeated.
Communism, on the contrary,
seems to be growing"
HOWEVER, in my judgment,
l. Il Communism is not the rem
edy for China" he said. Neither
is the overlordship of Japan. In
ternational cooperation is needed
the help of Great Britain,
France, Germany and Italy. The
United States should not partici-
pate, if China is partitioned, but
it should uphold the open door and
right to trade"
Father Troy said the Orient is
in state of unrest and that any
thing can happen. The United
States should do its utmost to stay
out of war, should one come, but
in his opinion the best way to stay
out is to have an air force and a
navy second to none.
Father Troy visited Kanchow, in
Kiangsi, in the interior west of
Fukien, Communist stronghold.
He Travelled for weeks by train,
Sampan, muleback, sedan chair
and afoot. Conditions in that re-
gion he found we'll nigh indie
scribable.
DOVERTY aboundS there such
l. as Americans never dreamed
of. Living conditions are fright
full. Opium smoking is wide
spread, and once in a while some
poor man or woman addict is be-
headed in public place as a
warning. Yet, he said, the pro-
vincial war lords, at whose orders
the beheadings take place, en-
courage the opium traffic and get
large revenues therefrom.
His own chair coolies, he said,
would carry him two hours, then
rest" two hours, taking out their
pipes, needles and little lamps
and cooking their pills" There
was nothing he could do about it.
AZ Kanchow he visited the
famous Bishop O'Shea who, de-
spite all kinds Of dangers about
him-bandits, kidnapers, Com
.nilnists, war-refuses to leave. He
says he is shepherd and will not
desert his flock.
Father Troy was the first white
man Bishop O'Shea had seen in
six years. The bishop kept him
up all night the first night to hear
about the 1882 elections, President
Roosevelt and the New Deal.

then, perhaps unconsciously, reveal
to some outsider the change in
Mrs. Lindbergh's schedule, and
unwittingly inform the kidnaper
that Charles Lindbergh Jr. would
be put to bed in Hopewell instead
of Englewood?"
THE usual crop of fantastic

Gals, and one by one were beaten
down.
For weeks, Johnson was held
under surveillance while the in
vestigators explored his past,
tracked down his every friendship,
eliminated each of his associates
and, with some reluctance, finally
arrived at the only possible con-
clusion. that he was wholly inno-
cent of any connection with the
crime, knowingly Or otherwise.
In punishment for having at
forded them so much trouble, the
red-headed youth was turned over
to immigration authorities, for de-
portation. Far from discouraging
the young man, the episode left
him grinning, in his engaging
manner, and promising to return
to America, legitimately the next
time.
TOR A moment there was a
II furry of interest in Betty,
when the detectives learned she
once had worked in Detroit.
An effort to tie her name to
that of "Scotty" Cow, a Michigan
gangster, fell of its own weight
when the police established there
was no relationship, and that her
chief interest had been one Will
liam Coots, to whom she was re-
ported to have been engaged.
And while this inquisition was
proceeding, a new scene in the
drama was unfolding in the
Bronx, where an emotional old
gentleman had just received an
amazing letter from the man who
proclaimed himself the kidnaper
of the Lindbergh baby.

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN :

TOYS and other playthings in recent years nave

The child is not so much amused and entertained
nowadays by things that sparkle and things that

porunity to make for itself various useful objects
out of materials ready for assembling.
Many a child is attracted by movement and many
choose mechanical toys, if permitted to make their
own selections. Many mechanical toys have useful
purpose but in some they are poorly made and
may actually be hazardous to the child's health and
safety.
Poorly constructed tin toys with sharp edges and
cheap paints do not endure much over the holiday
week. and many cut the fingers break up, with
damage to the eyes almost before the child has had
opportunity to use them.
TOYS may of course, be highly educational Con-
l. struction toys have this capacity.
The child who becomes interested in developing
railroad system with electrical trains, signal sta
tons and similar accessories, may begin piece of
work that will lead him into useful occupation.
Moreover the use of such toys offers opportunity
for gradual development as the child grows older.
Much of the radio material OF today tends TO
make the child interested in pop-guns pistols and
similar devices. There is no reason why the child
should not play policeman, but dangerous weapons

CENATOR GEORGE NORRIS
- Is considering retiring to
private life when his present term
expires in 1886,
Ten years ago he proposed
shaking the dust of Washington
in order to reorganize the govern
ment of Nebraska. Liberals all
over the country deluged him with
appeals to remain in the Senate,
and he finally bowed to the de-
mand.
At the recent election his pet
project of abolishing two-cham-
bered legislatures and substitute
ing a U>;;cameral body was over
wneia.insIy adopted by Nebraska.
Now. 70 years old, and with
more than 20 years of strenuous
House and senate service behind
him, he Il saying he believes he
has earned a rest, once more is
talking of getting out of harness.
