DEPLORES RETIREMENT
OF SENATOR NORRIS

BY Progressive
The news that Senator George w.
Norris of Nebraska will retire from
public life at the end of his present
term in the Senate-he has a year
to serve-is bad news for all Amer
leans who believe in good govern
ment.
Few men have served in the Sen
ate as long as Senator Norris, and
few have left so great an imprint on
the political life of their time.
Despite the fact that he has been
"agin" things most of the time, he
has had some exceedingly substan-
tial accomplishments on the posi-
tive side.
He put over the lame duck"
amendment almost single-handed,
thereby making our Federal govern
ment more efficient. He wrote his
own power program into Federal
| law.
He persuaded his own state to

BY a Doctor
If your memory is good enough
to reach back three years, you can
get a pretty fair idea why Musso-
lini is going ahead in Ethiopia in
defiance of the League of Ma
tons. You can also get a good
line on the sincerity, or otherwise,
of the great powers which are
holding their hands aloft in pious
horror over his actions.
Three years ago the japanese
set out to help themselves 10 Man
churia. Like Ethiopia, Manchuria
was a potentially rich land held
by an extremely weak people Ac-
cOrding to all the old rules of the
game, it would belong to the first
nation that had the nerve and
the strength to walk in and take
possession Of it. The Japanese
elected to be that nation.
1t is instructive to note what
happened thereafter.
The American government made
a series of sharp protests. The
seizure of Manchuria (afterWard
renamed Manchoukuo) was in
violation of sundry treaties. 1t
was also a palpable case of ag-
erosion by strong nation upon a
weak one; and since Japan had
been a member of the League of
Nations since the leagues foun-
dation, the case was promptly re-
ferred to Geneva.
Where, in those far-off days,
were those English statesmen who
have been talking SO loudly of late
about the need of collective re-
sistance to unprovoked acts of ag-
erosion? Did they move heaven
and earth to obtain a league boy
colt of Japan? Did they advance
right to the edge of war to put
pressure on Tokyo to give up its
undertaking?

nights lodging. He has been re-

present needs demand.
He complained Of the hardships
which he suffers by sleeping out in
the cold during these frosty nights.
He explained that if he continued
to, fail to get relief. he would have
to steal.
Of course, I was broke. A man
can't keep money and remain a
Christian IN this land of misery. He
urged me to do something.

Why England Opposes War IN Ethiopia

If your memory of those days
is any good at all, you do not need
to be told that they did not. The
one nation to make a forceful
protest was the United States,
which was not even a league mem
Der; and the altruistic English.
far from backing us up, left us
way out on limb with our pro-
tests, SO that the japanese con-
centrated upon us all the resent
ment they felt at foreign disap-
prevail of their program
The thing to remember is that
the japanese adventure in Man
Churia was almost an exact paral-
lei to the Italian adventure in
Ethiopia.
If Italy merits rebuke and COL
lective resistance by the league, so
did Japan.
Why should the British be so
conscientious about league obliga-
lions in the present case when
they cared not a fig for them in
the former one?
The answer to that one is easy.
Japan's act was not a threat to
the interests of the British en-
pire; Italys is.
Manchuria is surrounded by
China, Siberia and the dim re-
gions Of Mongolia; Ethiopia, by
Egypt, the Sudan and Kenya
colony. England loses nothing by
Japan's conquest; she may lose
much by MussoIini's.
All this is worth keeping in
mind. If the present situation
grows more serious, European pub
licists presently will tell us that
it is our sacred duty to aid the
league. If we remember the Man
churian case, we shall be able to
take that news with the proper
amount of salt.

thick and velvet soft, just the thing for demonstra

Each has had 60 at it. They've sprayed it with
their liquids and applied all their gadgets on an
average of once week since early summer. Impec-
cable manners, added to line of talk which is
enough to elicit any females admiration make these
visits actually entertaining.

Wants GrolUers To
Plant Popcorn

A communication has been re-
ceived at the farm advisor IS office
at Ell Centro from a popcorn COM
pany in Los Angeles asking for
names of farmers who would like
to contract to plant several acres
of popcorn as an experiment from
seed furnished by the company.
Growers interested in experiment
ing with this crop may leave their
names. at the farm advisor IS office.
Frank Beyschlag farm advisor,
states that he has no information
concerning the reliability of the
popcorn company making this offer,
nor does he have information con-
cerning their contract. He empha-
sizes that experience has not shown
popcorn to be very well adapted to
the valley. Damage to the crop
from corn flea beetles and corn-ear
worms is often serious. Paintings,
he says. should preferably be made
from July Is to August 1 in order
that extremely dry heat may be
avoided during the pollinating per-
