2. The tendency, "all too prevalent
in this congress, to engage in muck
raking, marauding expeditions which
destroy the liberty of all of the peo-
pie while they seek to restrain the
abuses of a few. These orgies of pub
lie castigation may be means OF
furthering individual political ambi-
lions, they may be build-ups for those
with Presidential hankerings, but so
far as the public interest is concerned
they are simply sound and fury"
3. The tendency "of those in charge
of the New Deal to over-emphasiZe ad-

Importance of competent technical ad-

Japanese Find Excuse
for Action in China


THERE was every reason to believe
l. that Japan had found, or manufac-
tured. excuses for further encroach-
ments in northern China, and that Sc
rious conflict between the two nations
would ensue unless China were sub
missive. The Japanese alleged that
bridge on the railway line between
Tangku and Tientsin was destroyed
and that there was an attempt to
wreck a troop train. The highest Jap
anese officers in North China were
summoned to a conference in Tientsin.
Yakichiro Suma, Japanese consul
general in Marking, declared publicly
that China must choose either mutual
interdependence with Japan or war
with JAPAN and he said he had in
formed Generalissimo Kai-shek, Chi
nese dictator, of this viewpoint. ia
pan has gone too far to retreat now
and must advance straight ahead with
immutable convictions" Suma said.
The Japanese military command,
meanwhile, disclosed frankly some of
their demands upon China. These in
Guided:
l. Privilege of building railroads,
military and civilian air bases and
army barracks.
9. Establishment of regular air sery-
ice between China and Japan.
8. An economic, political and mill
tary position for Japan in China.

Serious Labor Troubles
in Many States

FACTORIES and farms in 10 states,
L in all parts of the Union, were af-
fected by labor troubles which inter-
mediaries were trying in vain to settle.
Leaders of organized labor claimed
that from 10000 to $4,000 strikers al
ready were out, but employers chal-
lenged the union claims that the strikes
were effective.
Workers in six plants of Remington
Rand, Inc, were out on strike after
union leaders ordered walkout at
Syracuse, N. Y. They said 5000 work
ers in the company's New York, Ohio
and Connecticut plants were involved.
Company officials asserted there were
1900 affected.
Six thousand BARRIERS in lower Man.
mattan, New York, were ordered TO
join 5000 others in a strike which had
spread over a wide area.

Business Men Oppose
New Guffey Coal Bill

DOTH the United States Chamber of
- Commerce and the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers is firmly Op-
posed to the new Guffey-Vinson coal
control bill designed to replace the act
declared invalid by the United States
Supreme court.
Harper Sibley, president Of the cham
Der, and James A. Emery, general coun-
sci for the manufacturers association,
recalled, in almost identical language,
that the most widely discredited phase
of the defunct NRA was price fixing
through codes. The new Guffey-Vin-
son bill, they said, like the old bill, is
designed to establish price fixing by
levying a prohibitory tax on products
of mines which do not submit to its
provisions.
at is time" Mr.. Emery said, "that
we began to analyze these stop-gaps
drafted hurriedly in an attempt to
make permanent law of the things that
are beyond control of congress and of
the federal government; things which
must, in the end, be harmful to the
nation as a whole. Those who object
to the new Guffey-Vinson bill did not
even have an opportunity to present
their valid reasons for Directing"

Arabs of Palestine in
Fights With British

A RABS of Palestine, rebelling
against British protection of jew
ish immi grafton, are causing Britain a
lot of trouble. English soldiers fought
real battles with the Arabs in several
localities, and Jews throughout the
Holy Land were arming themselves in
self-defense. Casualties in the fight
ing were few, but the situation was so
serious that Sir Arthur Wauchope,
British high commissioner, asked the
government for more troops.
A mandatory curfew was put in
force throughout Palestine. British
women and children were evacuated
from Nablus, in Samaria, where Brit
ish troops engaged strong force Of
Arabs in furious battle. The Arabs

1t was evident to all observers the
pope's age is beginning to tell on him
and that he found the long ceremony
very much of a strain.
That the pope's health is causing
some concern also in Vatican circles
was shown by the fact that the plans
that were originally made for the
pope to bless the crowd gathered in

cony of the Basilica were abandoned
at the last minute.

Liner Queen Mary Fails

Gus welcome at New York as she COM
pleted the first leg of her maiden trans
atlantic passage. The giant steamship
behaved well in every way but fell
short by AZ minutes of equaling the
record set year ago by the French
liner Normandie. The Queen Mary's
officers offered no apology for this, but
1t was public knowledge that her speed
had been cut down by fog off the
American coast.
The Queen Mary averaged 29.13

The World

Juanita Harrison started out
to tour the world ct the age Of
80. Juanita is colored. She was
born in Mississippi and her school
ing stopped before she was 10.
Nevertheless Juanita saw the
world. She stayed in hotels at
IS q day and ate scent meals.
She wore everything from black
velvet and diamonds to black
wooden tights and q native nose
veil.
She lived in and learned the
language Of az different countries.
She worked only when she had
to and stopped working the day
she saw her way to travel fur
Their. And in the end she sold
the first accounts Of her wander
tngs to the Atlantic Monthly and
settled down to o life Of ease In
Q tent at waikiki.
As Juanita puts It, There's not
so much difference in Human
BienS once you mix Them up"
Nor Is there so much difference
in Juanita's observations from
those Of other travellers, except
ing her appetite Ia bigger and
her spelling worse.
She practically ate her way
around the globe. And since she
spelled entirely by ear you may
sometimes wonder where she Is
and wha6 she's doing.
Her story, therefore, Is sort Of
q sepia version Of Samantha
at the Worlds Fair" You've got
to like Juanita to stick with her.
Nearly everybody she meets likes
her and nobody knows this better
than Juanita. But hers is not the
hilarious account Of life abroad
that the book jacket promises.
She has, for one thing, got too
far away from her Mississippi
origin to represent her race. For
another, she sacrifices the ele-
ment Of suspense by being en-
tirely too sure Of herself. No
traveller had fewer troubles than
Juanita and few travellers re-
turn with less to tell.
