Japan Buying War
Material From L. S,
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t has been frequently stated that the
United States and Japan will never at
tack each other, as we are mutual good
customers. Japan buys from us iron,
steel, cotton, oils and other basic mate
rails that are vitality necessary to the
carrying on Of war OF course, they
do not intend to keep the stuff, as it
only awaits a favorable opportunity to
be tossed back at us along with twenty
one demands"
Japan sells us silk and other luxuries,
but recently they have created a "howl
to high Heaven" from our big manufac-
turerS because Of the dumping of large
quantities Of manufactured goods on
our home markets.
When the Japanese was brought here
to compete with our farmer and laborer
he was dear little brown brother" :"
Now that he "Swipes hunk of pie" from
big business he Is a yellow peril"
The Japanese is not dumb and quickly
learns his lessons. Commodore Galbraith
Perry gave him his first hard lesson 80
years ago, Our might is our right" He
learned it so well that he was able to
surprise the world by taking the Russian
bear to the cleaners. Some day they
will do the same to us that Commodore
Perry did to them. They will come here
in force and tell us what to do. We
furnish them with the means.
Business men and money lenders have
no conscience when it interferes with a
chance to make money. The corpulent
gentleman questioned by a senatorial
committee says the Japanese are good
customers He sells them nlanS and
submarines which may be used against
us some day. What fools we mortals'

Responsibility of
Holding Companies

To the Editor of The Star:
There is so much complaint of hold
ing companies being irresponsible, and
of their controlling the corporations in
which they hold stock, and the whole
system of subsidiary corporations lends
itself SO largely to the building up of
fictitious financial structures like the
insult empire (of which there are doubt
less many others on somewhat smaller
scale), why would 1t not be q good thing
to forbid any corporation to vote its
stock in any other corporation. leaving
the voting privilege to natural persons
only?
Corporate management would still be
free to carry on. actual useful business.
The corporation as an institution would
still serve its original purpose of CO.
operative device to make the corporation
a different entity from the individuals
who compose 1t. That was the original
and juStifying aim OF the corporation,
but now it has come to be a trick by
which business men evade their just
obligations, and especially the subsidiary
corporation is trick by which the main
or parent" corporation can slip out of
its duty-its duty to the public and its
duty to stockholders and bondholders.
II corporations wish to invest their
surplus funds in the stock of other COM
panieS, let them do so; they can invest
in bonds or in stocks, but deny them
the right to vote the stock they buy
That way they could not capture and
control other corporations, but the par
ent company would have to give up its
control over subsidiaries, or else buy
them out and use the property in OPP
erative business instead Of in financial
juggling.
The ordinary investor who puts saw
ings into stocks has no control over the
companies Of which he is part owner
If Furthermore each corporation were
required by law to furnish every stock
holder with the names of all the stock
holders. it would put corporation busi-
ness somewhat on the plane of public
corporations (cities, counties, etc. in
which citizens are stockholders.
Perhaps Federal incorporation would
be necessary to carry out this policy.
Federal incorporation is being seriously
considered as a necessity already, and
this might be one way to make 1t
beneficial. WILLIAM c. LEE.

power without consultation with the
House of Commons. declared that the
government must be trusted with fun
powers in "a very dangerous situation.
Sir Samuel indicated that he had not
abandoned hope Of satisfactory settle
ment, but it is difficult to conceive how
it is to be brought about, with Mussolini
in uncompromising mood.
Capt. Eden reminded Parliament that
RritainS concern In composing the
Italo- Ethiopian controversy is not die
tated by British interests in Africa,
but by anxiety to save the League He
asserted candidly that British policy is
founded upon the League to an extent
that makes it impossible for London to
view without alarm any developments
capable of undermining Geneva's use
fulness.. There is a plain hint here that
Britain insists upon the Leagues right
to demand submission Of the Italo-
Ethiopian affair to pacific settlement.
and an equally plain indication that
Mussolinis rejection of such procedure
would mean Italy's detection from the
League and grave complications in
Europe.
An international organization minus
the membership of Germany, Italy,
Japan and the United States would
be a sadly emaciated institution. 1t is
to prevent Genevas dwindling to such
impotent proportion. with incidental
perils to Europe's balance, that Britain
is now battling. Whether she has ex-
hausted her resources in that direction
the weeks just ahead will show.

new disease came from work with
monkeys at the Public Health Service
Laboratories here by DR.. Armstrong.
Some Of his animals were acting Pc
culiarly. They would sit with heads
dropping and eyes closed, but could be
easily aroused to slow and hesitating
movements. The cerebral fluid pressure
was increased and its cellular compost
ton differed from the normal. 1t looked
as if these monkeys were suffering from
meningitis, but without a causative
agent.
DR.. Armstrong was able to recover
from them, however, a filterable virus
supposedly the most minute of living
things which is far too small ever to be
seen under a microscope, but whose
existence can be determined by the fact
that it will pass through the pores of
porcelain filter-which differed from any
with which he was familiar.
With the virus preparation he OBJ
tanned he innoculated other monkeys
with the result that they all exhibited
about the same symptoms. A little later
came report from another source that
a similar mysterious virus had been iso-
mice, monkeys and guinea pigs showed
that the two were essentially the same.
DR.. Armstrong developed an immune
serum from the blood of recovered
monkeys which protected animals
against both strains of the new virus.
The next step was to obtain blood
serum from some of the human pa
tients i'll with the "asceptic meningitis"
1t was, under certain conditions, found
to protect the monkeys and also guinea
pigs who are susceptible to the disease.
This Is considered practically to have
proved the case that there is hitherto
unknown form of disease, similar to
meningitis, which is due to q virus.
Blood serum from both animals and
humans had no protective power against
virus innoculations until after the second
week of the illness. The defense
agencies of the body evidently are
mobilized slowly against this new in
vader. After the second week, so far
as animals are concerned, the protec-
ton appears to be very high.
The cases reported by Drs. Dickens
and Armstrong had their origin in Cali
fornia, Maryland, the District of Colum-
bia, Illinois, Ohio and Virginia. 1t Is
considered highly probably that the dis
ease exists all over the country, but that
cases of it have been wrongly diagnosed.
The filterable virus exists at the very
frontier of life and is estimated to be
about the size of large molecule.
The first life on earth probably was
in the form of animated molecules which
came together into cells which amalga-
mated later into animal and plant
bodies.
This had led to the speculation that
the ultra microscopic organisms reSpon-
sible for some Of the most serious human
and animal diseases may actually be
new forms of life coming into existence
today Just as the ancestral forms of life
today came into existence at the be-
ginning. In this case new diseases
might arise at any time. This is the
first instance, however. in which the
virus was discovered first and the dis
ease for which it is responsible
afterward. a

Italy Rejects a Bribe.

To what extraordinary lengths Great
Britain is prepared to go, to prevent an
Italo-Abyssinian war, was disclosed on
Mondayein the House of Commons. 1t
became the painful duty of Capt.
Anthony Eden, minister for League of
Nations affairs, to report the ill-starred
results of his recent trip of conciliation
to Rome.
In token of British zeal to safeguard
League prestige and restrain Mussolini
from making war on the Ethiopians,
Capt. Eden told II Duce that Britain
was ready to give Abyssinia slice of
territory, in order to facilitate settle
ment with Italy. The strip would be
carved out of adjacent British Som
aliland, and afford Abyssinia access to
the sea, which she now lacks. The
immediate purpose would be to enable
Halle Selassie to make concessions to
Mussolini as means of avoiding war.
Apparently the idea is that the land
with which the British are ready to
part would compensate 1.-THE Ethiopians
for concessions to Italy, territorial, eco
norni. snu otnerwise, designed to give
Mussolini definite political advantages
in Abyssinia. This subtle and simple
solution made no appeal to the i'm
perious Fascist chieftain. Capt. Eden
Informed Parliament that as the pro-
posal had met with instant rejection, 1t
had been withdrawn. Mussolini is not
ready to be bought off.

kept supplied with food and fuel by
attendant machines, could perhaps have
gone on for longer period. The ma
chine, however. was reported to be
showing signs Of deterioration through
the crystallization of some Of the metal
lie parts. As test OF the mechanism
it was a significant performance. But
the machine was not new one, and
thus the test is not of particular value.
This sort OF flying is not a satisfac-
tory demonstration Of the capacity OF
men and planes for long distance flight.
There must be constant replenishment
Of supplies, for men and machine. In
actual distance flying such replenish-
ment is not practicable. The aviator
who flies alone over wide wastes of water
and great stretches of land without
assistance does more to advance the art
of aviation than the stunt flyer who
circles around Tor hours and days at
stretch, with companion for relief,
and breaks a record.
Yet there will be acclaim for these
two young men who have Just reached
a new mark, even as there will be for
those to come who will break their
record, which is veritably certain. for
the lure of publicity through new
endurance test which tops the previous
score Of hours in the air grows more
potent with every fresh contribution to
the continued story Of ambition for
fame.

The Summer cold is a nuisance.

The Summer cold Is nuisance.
A cold at any time of the year Is
not SO hot, as the vernacular has 1t,
with more or less truth, but some way
the one acquired at this season Is worst
Of all.
One suspects the fat lady, who sat
in the first seat in the bus, and who
sneezed vigorously at every other stop.
A cold victim must suspect somebody.
That he picked up the malady of his
own free will, ou. of blue sky and a
hot day, is something he will not admit.
If the germ theory, in ali or any Of
its moods, is true blue, there is no
reason why he should place the blame
on himself.
Always it is pleasant to blame some
one else, and in few things may this be
done with less likelihood of error than
the ordinary requirement of the COM
mon cold.
Yes, the large lady was to blame.
She Sprinkled the air with an assorted
million or two germs.
What mattered that 999 y999 999 Of
them perished at large, If one found q
lodging for the night?
What a nuisance a Summer cold Is
to be Sure
They speak a great deal Of nuisance
taxes. but cold during hot weather is
nuisance, and a great tax on the
system.
1t clogs the breathing apparatus at
the very time breathing is at premium.
While the human bodily economy is
not in the same class with the cold
blooded fish, whose rate Of metabolism
is increased as the heat goes higher.
there is enough resemblance between
the two to make full functioning
desirable.
When one cannot breathe except with
difficulty, the sad state of affairs often
brought about by the common cold, one
rs at odds and ends with the world
through that very deficiency.
Hence signs Of anger and impatience
are to be regarded as among the very
first indications of taking cold.'
The first words Of anger, from an
otherwise sweet disposition, ought to be
looked upon with deepest suspicion.
Those who hear them, instead of be-
coming angry in turn, or feeling hurt,
ought to realize that in all probability
they are merely symptoms.
No one becomes angry over some one
elSe's symptoms, ordinarily.
Usually offers of ways for relief are
In order.
Hence any one who Is Jumped on"
by another member of the family for
some real or fancied offense, ought to
look critically at the person, and say,
Il think you must be coming down with
a cold"
The novelty Of this counter attack
might deter the sick one from re-
elimination.
If he had sense, and some modicum
Of self observation, he would realize the
justice of the remark, and take imme-
diate steps to remedy his malady and
his disposition at the same time.
During hot weather Nature takes
care of that best Of all cold remedies, q
good sweat.
The unfortunate part Of it is that
she also provides drafts.
While there are those who Sneer at
the idea of drafts Cor draughts, if you
prefer it that way) giving any one
cold, we hold unswervingly to the idea
that they not only can, but do.
At least the current of moving air IS

the partition of Africa, and the next
will be from the same cause" Ger
tainly the part played in the World War
by Africans and men of its background,
as well as the interests threatened by
the proposed invasion of Abyssinia,
ought to arouse forceful sentiment
against it.
France stands to lose control Of the
immensely profitable single railroad from
the hinterland through Abyssinia to the
coast, and England depends upon waters
overfowing the dam at Lake Tsana into
the Blue Nile to irrigate her cotton
growing in the Sudan. If the white
mans genius for governing were only
restrained from destroying the cultures
with which he must meet in time and
space, all that is planned for the future
Of humanity might be realized.

begun to run into snags. The first body
blows to the Chief Executive and his
advisers came when the Supreme Court,
in unanimous decisions, determined that
the N. r. A. was unconstitutional and
that President Roosevelt had illegally
removed from Office the late William
E. Humphrey, Federal trade COM
missioner. Next, the President sent up
two trial balloons and met with diSap-
pointing public response. The first was
a clear intimation that he intended to
seek a constitutional amendment giving
the Federal Government control over
the people so that it could interfere
with social and economic affairs. The
second was a demand for a "Share-the-
wealth" tax bill and its inclusion by the
resolution extending certain excise
taxes.
The response from the country to
these trial balloons was emphatic and
unfavorable. There has been no recon-
mendation from the White House for
a constitutional amendment to legalize
the New Deal The effort to afix the
Presidents tax program as rider to the
excise tax resolution was abandoned.
The House, acting in committee OF
the whole yesterday, by an overwhelming
tIa hic
demand that the death sentence"
clause be placed in the public utility
holding company bill. 1t was a major
revolt. 1t happened in body which
has accepted every piece of legislation
sent it by the Chief Executive in the
last two years. There is in the ofhng
another possible defeat for the White
House, when the T. v. A bill comes
before the House. The Senate Banking
and Currency Committee has reported
to the Senate the administration bank
ing bill, much modified.
Signs are not lacking, too, that
neither the House nor the Senate de-
sires at this time to 60 ahead with the
restricted tax reform program of the
President. The House Ways and Means
Committee is expected to begin hearings
on the tax program next Monday. In
the Senate the Republican leadership
has offered a resolution proposing that
the enactment of a tax program be
studied carefully before it is undertaken
and that its consideration by Congress
be put off until next Fall
When the Congress balks at taking
orders at the hands of the President, it
is a fair deduction that the country is
becoming restive. The American people
have never been inclined to take orders
Their basic law, the Constitution pro-
vides for three branches of government,
each separate, distinct and independent
of the Others and SO designed to prevent
dictatorship. The first is the legislative.
The second is the executive and the
third, the judiciary. "All legislative
powers herein granted" the Constitu-
tioH leduS, Slldl4 pe Festcu Ill CoHSIeSS
of the United States" For two years,
however, INSTRUMENTATION in
many of its aspects-has originated in
the White House and Congress has taken
1t whether it liked it or not.
If the Congress has finally determined
that it shall be the sole boss of legiSla-
tion, perhaps it will occur to the New
Dealers that Congress would be just as
well out of Washington.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Savant and Samson

In house of stone one tolls alone
Thru silence and pain and care;
A savant skilled, in cap and gown,
Chained to a great wheel chair.
Apart from all in his shut-oh place,
With the light Of learning in his face,-
He moves on wheels thru the shaded
hooks,
Delving all day In his scripts and books.
At the money mart one plays his part
In turmoil and stress and Drawn,
Financial Samson with eyes Of steel,
Active from early morn.
Where men hold battle mid walls of
stone
He fights for vantage and holds his own;
His step gains strength with every fray,
AS he handles men all thru the day.
At dusk, by a trick of the money street,
Savant and Samson we're fated to meet.
Mused the scholar, (which of us lives,
my friend?"
Laughed the fighter. "He who attainS

Uplifting a cheer long and loud
For this wealth of the Nation.
