japan and the Soviet.

Decidedly the significant portion of
japanese Foreign Minister Hirota's
address on the international situation
at the opening of the Diet in Toxic
today was his yelled warning to the
Soviet Union to abandon provocative
activities in the neighborhood of Man.
choukuo. Although Mr. Hirota asserts
that Japan is planning to accelerate
the peaceful development of Soviet
Japanese relations by redoubling her
efforts for the solution of other pend
ing problems" the Moscow govern
ment is admonished that the ends of
peace can only be served by hearty
cooperation on the part of the Soviet
Union"
The japanese foreign minister does
not specify what sort of cooperation"
by the Soviet is essential" to peace
full relations between them except to
say that he hopes Moscow will give
special consideration to the erection
of military works in the Far East eS-
pecially along Soviet t-Manchoukuo
frontiers" Unquestionably this has
reference to modernization of fortifi-
cations at strategic points along the
Anur River, as we'll as to the strength
ening of Vladivostok as a military,
naval and air base, and the double
tracking of the Trans Siberian Rail-
road to that eaSternmoSt outpost of
Soviet power. Mr.. Hirota's reminder
to Moscow comedies with Japans cur
rent military moves in the Chinese
province of Chahar, which have,
among other objects, the Illustration
of MoscowS purpose to complete the
Sovietization of Mongolia.
1t is plain from the Toxic foreign
minister's statement that Japan still
looks upon conflict with the Soviet
as a possibility that requires earnest
consideration. 1t is no less evident
that, in view Of such a contingency,
the japanese intend to omit no op-
portunity to strengthen and expand
their position in China and to con-
tinue to give the Empire of Man
choukuo" all the support, political and
military, that is required to maintain
it as formidable buffer against any
Soviet advance in Asia. Mr.. Hirota
declares that Japan attaches great
Importance to her friendship with
other states in East ASIA but in the
same breath he deploreS that anti
Japanese agitation in certain parts of
China has not yet ceased and calls
upon the Chinese to undertake to
meet the genuine aspirations of our
country" If by that Mr.. Hirota means
the aspirations OF Japan more and
more to dominate China, Toxic is
likely not only to encounter Chinese
opposition, but continuously to arouse
suspicion and resentment among the
nations and governments of the West.
There will be nothing but gratif-
cation abroad over Mr.. Hirotas ex-
pressed hope that another naval
pact may be concluded to take the
place of the one Japan has just de-
nounced. Unfortunately, he holds
out 10 prospect of any recession from
the position which the japanese
maintained at London and which
wrecked the recent negotiations there.
All in all, this latest exposition of
JapanS foreign policy, despite its
proclamation of friendship for other
nations and its protestations of
peaceful intent, Enthusiastically re-
asserts her purpose to remain in su-
preme authority in Asia and to brook
no opposition to the preservation of
that primacy.

Under Misdirected Fire.


Attacks on the Juvenile Court
judge for alleged sentence" of two
flfteen-year-old boys to the National
Training School indicate an ill-ad-
vised tendency to jump at conclusions.
The community will do well to sus-
pend Judgment until there is
better understanding of the facts than
now seems to be the case. One of
the families has engaged competent
counsel, and if there is an error at
law, it will be corrected in the course
of appeal The public is not as well
informed as the court as to the past
which in the opinion of the court
made correctional measures advisable
In the first place, there has been
erroneous comparison between the
sentence" Of six years given the
boys and the maximum sentence of
five years which a court of other
jurisdiction might impose in the case
of adults convicted of 'joy-riding." :"
In the case of the Juvenile Court, the
boys are not Sentenced" to an in
determinate term at the National
Training School for Boys. The Juve-
nile Court commits them to the juris-
diction of this national institution
during their minority. the law per-
mitting no other course where this
institution is concerned.
In the second place, one might con-
clude from published reports that the
boys had been sentenced to an insti-
tuition which bore over its gates.
abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter
Here and that the sentence carried
with it the implication of imprison-
ment behind the bars in the company
OF hardened criminals. This denotes an
unfortunate lack of understanding of
the National Training School for Boys.
an institution maintained by the ma
tional Government for the redemp-
ton of Wayward youth, more than for
mere punishment or confinement.
There the attempt is made to deter
mine scientifically the cause of juve-
nile delinquency and to seek the best
methods of counteracting those in
fuences which have led boys astray.
While under such observation the boys
are given the opportunity for voca-
tional and other training. After a
period they are eligible for varying
degrees Of parole and freedom. The
National Training School for Boys,
in other words, is no Alcatraz. 1t is
maintained to give boys another
chance.
1t is always tragic when a boy
must pay the legal penalty for seri-
GUS offenSe, such as stealing an auto
mobile. There is universal sympathy
for the parents as we'll as for the boys.
But the influences of youth are the
making Of the man. The public
enemies" of today, whatever their
numerical ranking, were boys of fif-
teen not so long ago. There has been
a tendency to blame much crime on
the easy paroles won by men whose
first and second offenses were no
more serious than the theft of an au-
tomobile. The community should be
careful now not to injure grievously
these boys by sentimentality. The
publicity from which they have suf-
fered already is probably the greatest
handicap the authorities, responsible
for their redemption, must face.

tation, existing Federal activities for
which additional appropriations are
authorized. There is also provision
for matching whatever the States pay,
up to SIS month, as direct aid to
persons who are blind, whatever their
age may be.
Obviously, we are setting in mo-
ton here a vast new force, which
must be administered sanely and
carefully, with the welfare Of all the
people in mind. The chief work of
administration Of those parts of the
bill calling for Federal action will
be in the hands Of new independent
board of three people, to be appointed
by the President and to be known as
the Social Security Board. So i'm
portant will this boards work be that
the American people will do well to
demand of it the highest type of
conscientious service, and at the same
time to cooperate heartily with it
in the work Of providing a greater
measure of security for the men,
women, and children Of our Nation.
Agreed to in Conference.
With the exception of the Senate
amendment, which has for its pur-
pose the preservation Of private an
nuity plans maintained voluntarily by
forward-lo looking employers, the terms
of the social security bill have been
aoreed IN in conference ThuS the
terms of the bill are made certain
and it may we'll stand out as the last
ing achievement of the Roosevelt ad-
miniStration. 1t is worthy of notice
that the social security measure
aroused no important opposition in
any quarter. Moreover, it is the
product of most careful and deliberate
work. More than year ago Presi-
dent Roosevelt initiated the program.
The Committee on Social Security
create by him, assisted by a staff of
able and conscientious experts, sub
mitted q unanimous report to the
Congress. Exhaustive hearings were
neid in both Houses. On the founda-
tion of actual experience the system
will expand.
Within itself the machinery is pro-
vided for a vast new force in our
economic life which we are here set
ting in motion.

tive expenses caused by the opera
ton of the systems.
Already, on the expectation that
this bill would be enacted. several
States have passed unemployment
compensation laws. Under them,
funds would be accumulated for two
years and then paid out to workers
who become unemployed. A workers
unemployment compensation would,
on the average, be equal to half his
wages and would be paid him if he
was genuinely unable to get work, for
as much as Is weeks. 1t should be
noted that next year and thereafter,
the employers in those States which
have acted on this matter will be
given a 90 per cent credit against
the new Federal pay roll tax.
The social security bill deals also
with the problem of the under
privileged child. Many States now
have laws providing aid for dependent
children living in their own homes.
Often this type of assistance is called
mothers pensions" or mothers aid"
The States have had little money
available for this work, but from now
on the Federal Government is ready
TO come to their assistance. paying
one-third of the cost of the State
aid to dependent children. Once
again, however, the Federal partici-
patton in this work will be purely
financial; the administration of the
plan, the selection of children and
families who should be helped, the
decision as to how much aid they
need. all would be in the hands of
the State government.
