when in Rome do as the Romans
do" is a maxim too widely recognized
and practiced. 1t frequently means
yielding to customs and usages that vio-
late conscience and run counter to what
in our sober and better moments we hold
as inconsistent with accepted standards
and principles.
In his letter to the Romans the great
Apostle, st. Paul, says: BE not con-
formed Cor fashioned) to this world; but
be We transformed by the renewing OF
your rlind" He readily recognized that
the most trying and persistent influences
that affect the young disciples in the
Christian way of life come from en-
vironing conditions and practices OF the
world in which they live. He also recog-
nized that it takes rare courage and
unusual strength of character to rise SUI
perior to these influences.
Much is said about what we receive
from heredity. but it is evident that to
resist the qualities and characteristics
that are transmitted to us is easier OF
accomplishment than to resist and over
come the conditions of life that surround
us and that play so large part in shap-
ing and forming both our principles and
habits. To yield to prevailing fashions,
customs and usages, and this despite our
own accepted standards, is common to
most of u.s. To be "conformed to this
world" means to deny to ourselves the
right of private judgment, to silence con-
science and to subordinate and set aside
avowed principles. To square practice
with precept is by no means easy of
accomplishment. A friend of mine of
unusual strength of character, man of
wide reading and experience, who was
convalescing from critical illness, said
to me; Il sometimes wonder why have
been restored to health when I realize
that with my new-found convictions and
accepted religious principles shall have
to live on in a social group to which I
belong, whose habits and practices run
counter to all that / now hold as indis-
pensable to the Christian way of life. I
confess I am quite appalled, as I face a

.Japan's Three Demands.

1t was in 1915, in the midst of west
ern preoccupation with the Great war;
that Japan chose a psychological mo-
ment for launching the famous twenty
one demands designed to bring China
under Tokio's yoke. Not until the
Washington Conference of 1922 were
the demands finally renounced and
China restored to a status OF nominal
independence under the nine power
treaty.
Now the western powers are immersed
in another controversy that threatens
the peace of Europe, and Japan is
again to the fore with demands on
China. This time they are three in
number, instead of twenty-one, but so
comprehensive in scope that Far East
ern observers see in them the bluntest
expression of Tokios grandiose designs
ever sponsored by responsible member
of the japanese government.
The demands we're put forth under
highly official auspices by Foreign Min
lister Hirota last week in an address
before the Diet. They constitute So
called "three-point policy toward China"
They require % the hating by China
Of all "unfriendly acts and measures"
and the beginning of "active. and effec-
tive collaboration with Japan; CD Chi
nese recognition of Manchukuo, and
: 90 suppression of communist activities
and liberation of China from the red
menace" Mr. Hirota declared that China
had already indicated willingness to
negotiate "along these lines'-a claim
promptly denied in Marking.
Behind the carefully chosen words
which Japanese craftsmanship is so
adept in using when China is under
discussion, there is to be discerned in
the foreign minister's statement clear
evidence of Tokios plans. These aim
at creation of Japanese ChineSe-Man-
chukuan bloc which would present
solid front against both communism and
western imperialism" Particularly
noteworthy is the demand for recogni-
ton of Manchukuo, voiced for the first
time. The Japanese logically reckon that
if Marking acknowledges the "sover-
eighty" of the puppet state, other ma
tons cannot plausibly withhold recog-
milton of the realm over which Emperor
Kang TEN is supposed to rule. The way
will then be open for foreign loans
needed to develop China and Man.
chukuo. International financial assist
ance to China, particularly British, has
hitherto been sternly opposed on the
ground that it threatened Japanese
paramountcy in the Far East.
There is small likelihood that Japans
three-p point program for overlordship in
China will be speedily realized. Nam
king is not yet ready SO to subjugate
itself, and the western powers, despite
domestic and international tribulations,
reveal no willingness to abdicate their
Far Eastern rights and interests. But
Mr.. Hirota's three demands serve the
useful purpose of disclosing afresh the
sweeping and unabashed aims that UNI
ceasingly and basically inspire Japanese
policy.

taking shape new theory OF AIR power
that causes the strategists to take less
nessimistic view both as to the defensive
nossibilities of the Philippines and their
use as an offensive base.
AS a result, there is a notable change
in opinion concerning the future OF these
American possessions. Again emphasis
is nm maintaining the contacts OF this
country with the world and on upnoio-
ing it's position in the world.
An even more important evidence OF
the shift in policy from nationalism BACK
tn normal world trade relationships is
found in the reciprocal tariff agreements
being entered into by Mr.. Roosevelt.
The diplomats now have negotiated
10 of these agreements. The object IS
q general reduction In American tarif1s
on a basis that will tend to unfreeze a
world trade situation that the United
states. by its tariff policies, has done so
much to freeze.
Mr.. Roosevelt, when forced to choose
between the nationalist George Peek,
with his plan for trade bargaining on
an individual nation basis, and Secre-
tarv of State Hull, an old-fashioned low
tariff advocate, threw his influence on
the side of Mr.. Hull.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has
said that America must choose between
the course of economic self-suhciency.
which would mean even more ambitious
planning than attempted by the New
Deal, or the course of world trade de-
velopment, which would mean ADJUST
nent of tariffs and willingness to assume
leadership in world affairs
Late developments show that Mr..
Roosevelt is swinging to the second
choice after trying out the first with
Indifferent success.

Slow Housing Progress.

Senator CapperS long continued IN
terest in Washingtons housing and
rental problems have led him to pro-
pose, as recounted elsewhere in today's
Star, new program Of Federal loW-cost
housing construction, to be accom-
panied by legislation-not yet drafted
regulating certain phases of the private
building and rental business.
The first proposal centers attention on
the progress made so far by the Housing
Division of the Public Works Admins
tration in low-cost housing construction.
There has not been much progress.
Created as one of the early New Deal
units, with money available for the pur-
pose, the Housing Division is yet to turn
a spadeful of earth in the District on
any housing project There have been
many plans but little action. A single
tract of land ON Benning road has been
acquired, with an option still held on
another tract in Anacostia. But one
policy has replaced another policy Dlt1-
culties have been encountered in the
form of high land costs and objections
by adjacent property owners. The
single project here ready to start, the
development on Benning road, has been
delayed again by decision to draft new
plans, requiring new specifications. Blu
reaucracy is always unwieldy and slow.
The Benning road project, calling for
expenditure of $1,6OO,O0O on land and
buildings, includes construction OF 800
housing units. Senator Capper would
have the Government build 5000 units.
Judged by the cost of the P. w. A. prof.
ect, Senator Capper'S program would
REQUIRE something in the neighborhood
of s25,OOO0O0. Whether the Govern
ment is prepared to spend that much
money in Washington, where there are
no votes, is doubtful.
Senator Capper anticipates criticism
of his project on the ground that it
would represent invasion by the Federal
Government of field reserved for pri-
vate enterprise. But it is to be doubted
that such criticism would be substantial
or general The annual report of the
District Alley Authority emphasizes the
lack of response by private interests in
the matter of low-cost housing construc-
ton or the reclamation of alley squares.
The reason, undoubtedly, is the lack
Of demonstration that such undertakings
can be made to pay.
One great value in low-cost housing
project by the Government would lie
in demonstrating ability to make it, in
fact, -liquidating, at the same time
supplying the housing needs of some
of those whose living conditions at pres
ent constitute what Senator Capper
refers to as "a national scandal" That
demonstration in Washington is awaited
with considerable interest.

coate the municipal executive Offices in

as thus related in The Star OF January
20, 1886:

The corporation had an interest in the

alton was made some years since and the
city was paid for its share in the build
ing. The District Building should not
be erected on this park.
Speaking of the order recently posted
in the White House." says The Star OF
January 20, 1886,

our CONTEMPORARIES expresses the opinion
that If it does nothing more, II en-
pfasizes the need of new residence
for the President and his family apart
from the building now mainly occupied
cff1
this construction. A new executive resi-
dence may be needed, in the opinion OF
q great many people, and desired oy
great many more; but the order IN ques-
ton has no bearing on that point at all.
1t simply emphasizes and puts the pan
of official condemnation upon that I'M
politeness and want OF regard 1or the
feelings and comfort Of others Whlcn
gentlemen who are usually renned ana
courteous often exhibit by smoking IN
the apartments of other people. without
so much as asking whether the haolt Is
offensive or not. OF course, any person
has the unquestioned right TO smoke
in his own room or about his own prem
ises as much as he pleases, ouC When
it comes to INDUCING in that haplt III
a business Office or private room, or
putting smoke in the face OF others Oh
crowded street, that is quite another
affair. It seems almost incredible that
persons who in most relations OF NE
show the greatest consideration 1or
others should be guilty of so grave
breach of politeness; but many OF them
do thus offend. and it is this violation
of one of the plainest laws OF propriety
that the order referred to is INTENDED
to rebuke, and discontinue if possible.
When the President thinks there ought
70 be a new executive residence built ne
will be very apt to say SO in SO many
words and give good deal better reason
for it than the one suggested above.
For the present he merely wants a
nuisance abated."

Neptune Tanned.
What are the wild waves saying?
We hear them as of yore
In turbulence portraying
Scenes mid a battle roar.
The Navy, not SO mighty,
Strives to become immense.
The wandering winds grow Tightly
In reckless eloquence.
What are the wild waves saying?
We will be glad to meet
The scenes they're oft displaying
OF loneliness complete.
When they will whisper gayly
Attention to command
For beauty contests daily
Along the sparkling strand.

CallOused Minds.

President Roosevelt's veto of the SOL
diers' bonus bill was inevitable. The
country will honor him for his firm
stand against this legislation. His mes
sage was brief and to the point. The
reasons which impelled him to veto the
Patman bonus bill on May %, 1885, are
as good today as then. Had the Presi-
dent given the new bonus bill his
approval, the most inconsistent would
have hailed him as their companion.
Last year the President went before
the Congress and fought valiantly
against the enactment into law of the
Patman bill. He addressed joint ses-
sion Of Congress, giving his reasons
clearly and forcibly for his return of
the Patman bill without his approval.
Although the House overrode the veto,
the Presidents supporters in the Senate
held firm. The Upper House sustained
the veto. The brief message to the Con-
gress, the failure of the President to
dramatic the veto of the new bill, may
be born of the fact that the Chief Execu-
tive realizes that in this campaign year
It is a hopeless task to try to stem the
tide in support of the bonus payment
without delay. He, as well as the public,
have been assured by the administration
leaders in Congress that the bonus bill
will become law. It remains only for
the Senate to follow in the footsteps of
the House and vote by q two-thirds
majority to override the veto.
No sooner had the Presidents veto
message been read in the House than
that body clamored for q vote to pass
the bonus bill despite the disapproval
of the President The leaders on the
Democratic side pleaded for respectable
delay, until Monday. The majority of
the House, however, saw no reason why
they should wait: If it were done,
twere well 1t were done quickly" And,
after ali, the time of action matters
little. On Monday the vote would have
been as large for overriding the veto.

issue Of bonds to the veterans which

pines
Congress barely year ago voted indie
pendence for those islands. Their first
provisional government is starting to
function, preparing the way for COM
plete freedom in 10 years.
But scarcely has this change occurred
than arguments are offered why the
United States should maintain a pro-
tectorate over the Philippines and not
turn them loose to be at the mercy of
some imperialistic invader. Manuel
Quezon, first President of the islands,
after IS years of agitating for freedom,
now wants this country to maintain its
trade relations and keep a watchful eye
over his budding nation.

American sugar and dairy interests
were largely instrumental in convincing
Congress that the Philippines should be
freed. They wanted to be able to raise
tariff walls against the sugar and the
vegetable oils from the islands. Now
other considerations enter the picture.
For many years the Army and Navy
were pictured as convinced that the
Philippine Islands could not be defended
