One of the most active men
around washington these days is
Charles Hillman Brough, former
governor of Arkansas, and one
time arch enemy of the late Huey
P. Long.
Governor Brough was recently
discussing the progressive regime
of Roosevelt and what had been
done for the "stand-patters."
Governor Brough said:
I'm reminded of the hill-bllly
Arkansas boy who had a date with
a town girl and sought advice

if he took the girl to the best

THE EXCITED, RESTLESS sEXAu]


There's one fact about women
which few men understand
namely, that they are THE REST
LESS AND EXCITED SEX.
This, of course, is contrary to
all masculine tradition. The aver
age male firmly believes. as did all
his grandpas before him. that fe-
males are timid, conservative,
homebiding bodies who shrink
from public life, despise taking
chances, dread upheaValS and
yearn, above all things, to stay
put.
The particular lady in question
may be a superarmored dread
naught, yet her lord will vow that
there's only one thing for which
she really cares, and that is
LOVE. Love, says he. is a wo-
mans world. All these other things
she doeS-running around. hold
ing jobs, sowing wild oats-are
against her true nature. The Dear
Little Thing doesn't actually know
what it's all about. What she
really wants is A Home and Man
of Her Own. Someone to protect
her-stand between her and the
world.
DOMINANT DESIRE
Than which there could be a
more cockeyed notion. For the
dominant desire in the average
young woman's heart, from the
cradle to the grave, is ACTION.
Something doing. Preferably a
rumpus. But action always-ex-
citing action-with plenty of risk
and uncertainty. With herself,
of course. in the star role.
Not that she'd admit this. To
count on her to give perfect imi-
tation of Broken Blossom the
moment the guns start shooting.
But it's only an act.
Secretly she doteS on guns and
has done her darndeSt to force the
fracas-coyly pretending, all the
while, that she's scared pink, and
devastated by the courage OF the
Ruthless, Reckless Male.
Men are really the cautious and
conservative sex. the born duck
ers. dodgers and paSsers-o -of-the-
buck. A man may enjoy the i'm
personal adventure of a hunting
trip or the mass movement of a
big war or political campaign. But

ror the emotional, personal mix

Equality of Security
By James T. Williams, Jr.

Senator Nye of North Dakota
sends word from Honolulu that he
is for Japan and against the
United States at the London Naval
Conference.
This is the substance of the dis
loyal attitude taken by this politi.
cal Sapper against the common
defense. But he masks his real
position by stating it in the follow.
ing weasel words:
Japan will not tolerate the old
ratio any more than the United
States would if another power told
us that we we're not so great or
we're not entitled to as much naval
strength.
Il see no threat to our security
or to the security of any other
Western power in Japan's demand
for naval strength comparable
with ours"
If Senator Nye were not indif-
ferent to the truth-he can hardly
be ignorant of the truth-he would
know what happened at the Wash
ington Naval Conference. where
Japan agreed to naval limitation
! that insured her naval strength
comparable with ours, provided it
were used for defensive purposes.
NAVAL LIMITATION
Here is what happened at the
Washington Naval Conference:
The United States, Great Britain
and Japan agreed upon the funda
mental principles for naval limi-
tation.
The objective of this limitation
was not to be tonnage equality
but defensive equality-equality
Of security on the seas for each
Of these three naval powers.
They agreed that, owing to the
geographical position of Japan.
Japan could obtain defensive
equality by maintaining a navy
which in tonnage would be repre-
Sented by the ratio of 3-5 as COM
pared with the navies of Great
Britain and the United States.
They agreed that defensive
equality for Great Britain and
the United States would require
the equating of their naval ton
mage thus giving a 5-5-3 ratio for
these three navieS.
Japan then agreed that a navy
limited as to tonnage in this ratio
would give to each of these three
naval powers equality of oppor-
tunity for defense in the area in
which each of these powers would
most likely be called upon to con-
duct defensive operations.
Since that time Japan has seen
fit to set up in Manchuria a

There are in the speech of these

words of the same significance in
Chinese. No amalgam of all the
centuries has fused these I'M

Vacancies exist in the offices OF

GAINS PRESTIGE
Whatever else may be said of It,
the Guffey coal act is reported
to be increasing the prestige OF
it's author in the minds Of Ad
miniStration leaders.
Despite the controversy over
the measure, most of the criti
cism and challenge comes from
outside Pennsylvania, home State
of Senator Joseph F. Guffey.
In Pennsylvania, it is said to
have aided him and to have en-.
hanced the chances of the
present Administration in 1886.
Consequently, the Roosevelt re-
gime is said to be in a friendly
mood toward Mr.. Guffey.
The court tests of the Guffey
act are arising outside of Penn
sylvania. In Virginia and other
States where the validity of the
act is challenged, the strength
of the Roosevelt administration
is much greater than in Re
publican Pennsylvania and the
politicians are not so worried
over the consequences.
If PENNSYLVANIA can be carried
by the Democrats in 1886 it will
be one of their greatest achieves
mentS.
So it is that Guffey is being
favored in the hope that with his
assistance. the Democrats may
secure sufficient votes to tide

'and continued, fitting from one
country to another, in the effec-
tive leadership of his organization.
Peasant born, he was trained
for engineering, became a lawyer
and then a writer of short stories
His life seems more fictional than
any plot he ever invented. His
last eight years or rowing and
conspiring across boundary lines
started eight years ago, when the
deputy Stefan Radich was shot
and killed in the House of
Deputies.
He had been a deputy in parlia-
ment. not only expert in deft
conspiracieS. but given to violence
and to overt actS-attacking an
opponent with a chair. when he
met oppoSition-disclosing signs
of paranoia.
This grim, dour and belligerent
man has a wife and three young
children, two boys and a girl.
They are secreted in the woods,
moved from place to place, but
cared for solicitiously by the mem
bers of UstaSha.
He is devoted to his family
eloquently insisting that any man
who loves his family ought to be
willing to sacrifice his life, if
necessary, to free his country from
the oppressors and make it better
for his boys and girls.
UNDYING HATREDS
While UstaSha, in its present
form, is only six years old it is a
fusion of ancient groups held to-
gether by blood oaths, and 1t is
the work of DR.. Pavelich. He is
an adept in clever disguises and is
said by Croatians here to have
made frequent trips into Yugo-
Slavia in his organization work.
The society is now said to have
members in virtually every Croat-
ian town, in the army and even
in the Skuptchina, or House Of
Deputies.
CroatS here discuss the above
matters with the utmost reserve.
The activities of UstaSha have in
duced formidable reactions by the
incumbent powers in Yugoslavla.
There is predicted the complete
ascendency of military dictator
ship and even more rigorous and
oppressive government, with a
desperate civil war the only pos
sible outcome.
The complete disruption Of the
nation lies ahead unless some
miraculous diplomatic solvent Of
these undying hatreds is found.
This is the prevailing opinion OF
the CroatS in America. There is
established here the Domobran, a
Croatian society also active in the
fight for Croatian autonomy, but
sharply disaSsociating itself from
the terrorist organization.
Charles Thomas, president OF
it's New York chapter, wishes it
understood that the organization
engages in an open and legitimate
activities and that it is not to be
confused with Ustasha.

At this very moment Japan is
forcing the secession of the north.
ern provinces of China, which are
to become another puppet state,

puppet state of Manchoukuo.
Thus far Japan has not been
able to compel either Great Britain
or the United States to approve a
partition of China that is OBJ.
viously in violation of the Nine.
Power Treaty which Japan entered
into at the Washington Naval Con-
ference.
JAPAN'S DEMANDS
It was because Japan entered
into this treaty pledging the sigma.
tories to respect the territorial in.
tegrity of China that the United
States and Great Britain we're
willing to enter into the Five.
Power Naval Treaty by the terms
of which they agreed 50 to limit
their navies as to insure Japan a
navy large enough to give her
defensive equality in the Far East
as against the British and Amer
can navies.
Japan has decided to end the
Five-PoWer Naval Treaty and ha
already scrapped the Nine-Power
Treaty without the formality Of
denouncing it.
Japan is striving to coerce the
United States and Great Britain
into approving Japan's aggres,
sions against China and her viola
tions of the Nine Power Treaty b,
demanding tonnage equality fol
her navy with the British anc
American navies.
At the Washington Conference
Japan admitted that tonnag,
equality of the sort she now de
mandS would give her . nav
superior in striking force IN tn,
Pacific to either the British
American navies.
This superiority Japan now do
mands as the price of turthe
naval limitation. She does rot eH
pect to get it.
What she expects to get is tn
consent of the United States an
Great Britain to the junking
the Nine Power Treaty whicl
Japan has achieved by force

Japan thinks she will deceiv
the American people by floodn

about naval parity.

When first she cleaned upon my sight,

To be moments ornament;
Her eyes S stars of twilight fair;
Like twilights too her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From Mayime and the cheerful dawn;

To haunt to startle and wayay.
And now I see with eye
The very pulse of the machine;

traveller between life and death;

Endurance foresight strength and skill;

To warn, to comfort. and commands
And yet Spirit STILL and bright
With something of angelic light.
