Steven said slowly.

that over and over again. Steven hadn't taken
the bag to Boston. And Joe had died OF heart

Murder without trace. How silly! Steven
might be thief. He didn't kill people.
Steven was changed. Gone were his lovely,
gentle ways. The more Julia tried to be affec-
tionate, the more he seemed to resent her.
Sometimes, now, for weeks at a time, he
didn't come near her. She spent long, lonely
days. Waiting. Worrying. For fear something
had happened. For fear something would
happen. And worrying, most Of all. because
she felt he no longer loved her. When he did

Julia had one more thing to be afraid of.
If Steven went to Boston, he didn't tell her
about it. The little bag stayed behind the
panel above the fireplace.
Steven came to see Julia less frequently.
He seemed nervous, irritable. Julia was
nervous too. She felt she didn't soothe
Steven the way she should have done. She
worried about the little bag. He hadn't taken
it to Boston, as he had promised. Well, he
knew his business.

1t wasn't until months later that Julia
found out Steven was, in way, thief And
even after she knew the facts she kept herself
from accepting them.
In restaurant a man came up to them. He
carried briefcase He stopped for an instant
at their table. When he had gone, Julia
noticed the briefcase against Stevens chair.

Back in the apartment, Steven opened the
bonds. Steven counted them. He seemed
pleased.

He kissed her hurriedly. Went away He
wasn't even trying to keep the truth from her
any more. Was he really fence? A thief?
She looked in the papers. A lot of negotiable
papers had been stolen. Why did it have to
be these papers? Bonds were always being
stolen. Well, no one had been hurt over them.
That was something.
She made thousand excuses for Steven.

She loved him. He wasn't getting

she thanked him for it.
A hundred other things, then.
Curious negotiations. Packages.
Unsavory people. Sudden trips.
Julia told herself she was un-
justly suspicious. Maybe this
was the way a man like Steven
handled legitimate affairs. She
might have convinced herself if
it hadn't been for Joe Grey. You
couldn't mistake Joe Grey and
the things he did. He came to the
apartment one evening.

But she couldn't help over

Steven no longer cared if she
overheard.
Julia lived. now, in constant
fear. Fear for Steven. Fear be-
cause of the thing she had got
herself into. Yet over all was the
glow Of the fact that Steven
loved her. Trusted her, too.
If only he didn't do such
things He didn't actually steal.
He sold things. That was bad
enough. 1t seemed a little safer.
Steven never carried a gun. He
often said he was afraid of guns.
That meant he never would kill
anyone. She didn't have to have
that on her mind.
And then one night at dinner,
Steven said something that
frightened her more than any
thing he had ever said. Yet she
told herself that if anyone else
had said it, she wouldn't have
given it a second thought.

SENATE is THREATENING
MEXICAN SOVEREIGNTY
Borah Resolution, Protesting ''Anti-Re.
igious Campaign,'' Is Declared Jeop-
ardizing Policy of Non-Intervention.

Senate a self appointed tribunal to
pass upon the internal problems of
Mexico. Senator Borah demanded not
only that the Senate go on record as
protesting the "anti-religious campaign
and practices of the present rulers of
Mexico" but also that an exhaustive
investigation of the same be under
taken by a senatorial committee ap-
pointed for that purpose.
Trespass Upon Sovereignty.
1t is obviously beyond the point to
discuss here the issues involved in the
so-called religious controversy raging
in Mexico, which is only a new out
burst of a centuries-old struggle be-
tween the civil and ecclesiastic powers
in that country. The point is that by
avowedly taking sides with one of the
parties to the controversy. and by at
tempting to set themselves up as
judges of the conduct of the Mexican
authorities, Senator Borah and his
colleagues have disregarded the most
elementary principles on which the
law of nations is based. They have
trespassed upon the sovereignty of
Mexico and denied the Mexicans the
right to solve their own internal ques-
tions. And. in doing so, they were
even willing to let the United States
depart from its allegedly traditional
policy of non-interference. They were
willing to see the Senate become in
volved In the struggle, investigate the
facts and condemn the methods en-
ployed by the Mexican authorities.
Sides Are Taken.
That the supporters of the Borah
resolution did take sides in the Mexi-
can conflict is proven by the mere
fact Of their drafting such a resolu-
tion. Moreover, in the Introductory
part of the same, they made specific
charges against the present rulers Of
Mexico. They did not claim that such
and such conditions had been alleged
to exist in Mexico and that an inves-
tigation was in order to establish the
truth concerning them. Even that
would have been, of course, an intru-
sion upon the domestic problems Of
a foreign state, but in the way in
which the Borah resolution was word
ed the offense against Mexican sover-
eighty and against international law
was even more serious.
Senator Borah and his friends said:

tians of all faiths now being practiced

below show that the imports of every
country except Japan decreased
during the June-November period of
1884 as compared with the same six
months of the previous year. Only
the United States was able to in
crease its exports, and that only by
about 100000 over a half-year
period.
Great Britain saw both her imports
and exports decline during the last
half of 1884 as compared with the
same six months in 1893. Her i'm
ports dropped $113,800,000 and her
exports by $114,5OO,O00.
The German statistics show how
effectively imports can be regulated
by restrictions, quotas, etc. They re-
manned literally stationary under
Nazi control, fluctuating but million
dollars between the two siX-monthS
periods for two consecutive years. The
NaziS, however, had no control over
Germany'S exports, which declined
by more than S1O0000,000 during the
last half of 1884 as compared with
1888. The worldwide boycott played
no small part in the situation.
Japan, running short of raw ma
terialS bought before the yen was
deprecated, had to pay dearly for
cotton, etc. during 1884, and conse-
quently her imports gold value) in
creased considerably. Her exports
declined on the other hand by
S300O0,000. Because of the fluctua-
ton in exchanges, this does not
necessarily mean that in quantity
Japan's exports did not increase. The
Nipponese are flooding the cheap
markets CT the world-China, India,
Africa, South America, and they are
even cutting in on British, German
and American trade.

Foot-Binding Still
Prevalent i'm China

HWAIKING, Honan, China R.-
Chinese gentlemen still prefer the lily
footed women, so-despite the 20-year
rohibition-women still bind their
feet in many parts of the country.
In this city bound-footed women
and girls are far more numerous than
those with normal feet.
The government still carries on an
educational campaign against the Gus
tom, but there is the contrary educa-
ton of the thouSand-year-old practice
to combat it.
Parents whose daughters have nor
NAL feet have no little difficulty in ar
ranging marriages for them. The
brides beauty on the wedding day
is the beauty of her feet, not her
face, nor her clothing g-swathed figure.
In well-to-do families the feet first
are bound at about the age Of 4.
They are kept so. In the country
districts where the feet must at least
be large enough to support the girls
in the fields, the process does not be-
gin until two years later. Intense
pain results, and continues.

~ERTAIN members of the Sen
4 ate of the United States seem
I to have taken too literally
~ the old saying Don't let your
left hand know what your
right hand is doing" A few hours
after they had succeeded in pre-
venting United States adherence to
the World Court. on the ground that
this country should be kept out of for
eign entanglements and out of the do
mestic quarrels of other nations, they
drafted and supported a resolution
demanding intervention in a purely
internal controversy of the Mexican
people.
What makes this resolution more
incongruous is the fact that only a
few days before the World Court pro-
tocols were defeated another resolu-
tion, introduced by Senator Vanden-
bers and overwhelmingly approved,
had reasserted in the most emphatic
terms that the United States would
not depart from its traditional policy
of not intruding upon, interfering
with or entangling itself in the politi-
cal question of policy or internal ad-
miniStration of any foreign state"
Anything But Traditional.
Students of inter-American rela-
tions had commented skeptically on
this declaration, for they well remem-
bered that such policy was anything
but traditional with the United States.
All the differences and resentment
separating the two Americas were
due precisely to the frequency with,
and the extent to which that policy
had been forgotten in the past. New
ertheless, in the more recent years
Latin Americans had witnessed a
change of attitude on the part of the
Government of the United States. Not
long ago President Roosevelt himself
had formally announced that from
now on the policy of the United States
will be one opposed to intervention" !"
Thus, even though they questioned the
traditional" nature of the policy,
Latin Americans had welcomed the
senatorial declaration that this country
must not intrude upon, interfere with
or entangle itself in the political or
domestic quarrels Of its neighbors.
But the echo of this declaration was

Gold Bloc Hurt.

The deepening of the depression
both so far as trade and unemploy-
ment are concerned-in the so-called
gold bloc countries-France, Holland,
Italy, Switzerland and Belgium, is
/ causing considerable concern. With
out exception their imports and ex-
ports both declined, particularly the
latter, giving them a very unfavorable
balance of trade. Except for France
their gold reserves also have begun
to drain away.
The decrease in their trade-im-
ports and eXportS-in comparing the
June-November period of 1888 with
the same six months of 1884, was

Employment and unemployment re-
ports also tell an interesting story.
For 25 different countries reports
show that in 16 unemployment is
still decreasing. according to En-
ployment Exchange estimates. Bas-
ing the index upon 1929 employment
