Proceeds of Show to Buy Supplies for Summer
 Camp Magellan Engaged
WASHINGTON HILL

A novelty act for Q beneficial purpose will be presented at xaver- ian hall tonight when John Trot- zowBki Of this city, . veteran nnagi- clan goes through his act for the purpose of raising funds to pur- chase camp supplies for the boy scouts of troop 9.
 The uniqueness of the act is in itself an attraction. It is the first time an act of this sort has been presented on Washington Hill, and 5t is mainly through the promotion of Gcoutmaster William 0aughan that it has materialized this time. MT. Trotzowgkil, who is well known ag . gieight-of -hand artist, has en- loved several seasons of perform ances with travelling troupes of stage and vaudeville performers.
 The act, which will last at least ono hour will start exactly at 6 o'clock. A small entrance fee will be charged.
 Two of the scouts of troop 9 will have . part in the guidance of the campers of the two council summer camps this year. As in the past sev- eral years, Donald Felth, assistant scoutmaster, will be counsellor of Camp Morris Buck, the stopover camp at Lake Hitchcock. Senior hPtrol Leader Edward Ayotte will be Junior counsellor at the official sum- faer council camp on the Housa- tonic, Camp Pershing. Both boys hre experienced in the needs and lntricaccies of successful campaing hnd in the past have displayed their capability of caring for themselves and others during encampment.

SALES TAX GETS
A BODY BLOW
Continued from Page ~


Coach Doc Spears, and at the Mora
Drug Co., says in regard to a proposed
sales tax:
".It is indeed gratifying to me to
see the team work the independent
retailers and consumers are showing
in the drive against the proposed
sales tax. l learned many years ago
that it took combined effort on the
part of those interested to attain the
goal which they sought.
From my conversations with bust
ness men and consumers from other
states (where there is sales tax
being enacted) l am of the opinion
that a sales tax is hardship on the
retailer and an injustice to the buyer.
The consensus of opinion of those |
talked with was to that effect.
"'There are other forms of taxa
ton that are more justifiable already
on the statute books in this state that
seem to have been ignored. No en-
forcement of them have been made.
Personally, l believe that other means
of collecting revenue may be found
than that of a sales tax. AS inde-
pendent business men, we have enough
competition the way conditions are
without offering inducements to the
out of state and mail order compet1-
ton to participate in our field, as
they are enabled to do through sales
tax enforcement"

of trouble, East Asia is turbulent, too.
Arrogant Japan makes moves against
China hitherto found abjectly sub
missive and now all of sudden in a
mood to resist.
Somehow, the Japanese fail to un-
derstand that the Chinese resent their
gradual, even though blOOdless, con-
quest of the five provinces of north
ern China; they seem to think that
China should welcome this wonderful
opportunity to minimize it's territory,
but the Chinese, of course, dislike it
intensely. Only, they feel that they
have not the force with which to re-
SiSt
Under the circumstances, Japanese
are not very popular in China, and it
has happened within the last few
months that half dozen Japanese ma
tiOnals have been slain in China. So,
Japan demanded Justice. Haphazard
efforts were made by the Chinese gov
eminent to apprehend the murderers,
and in one case they succeeded: Two
men were arrested for having muir
dered a Japanese naval lieutenant,
they were convicted and sentenced to
death. But Japan, not yet satisfied,
used the occasion for pressing further
demands under the pretext that Jap
anese interests in China must be pro-
/ tected." So from Tokyo came the de-
mand that China must recognize the
empire of Manchukuo-the nation
which Japan has carved out of Chi
nese Manchuria; China must admit
Japanese to participation in her eco
nOmic affairs; China must permit
Japanese troops to fight alongside
Chinese soldiers against the Chinese
communists.
Going Too Far.
At last, China thought this was
going too far, so the Marking govern
ment few days ago rejected the Jap
anese demands and made some coun-
ter-demands of its own, one of them
being that Japan must evacuate the
| five northern provinces.

sound rather war-like, but there is a
hint of peace in bulletins which an
nOunce that negotiations in progress
between the two governments give a

that if the conflict terminates with
some kind of an agreement, it will
not be to the disadvantage of Japan.
Among most observers of the Far
East situation the opinion is pretty
widespread that Japan will never rest
until practically all of China has been
brought under the Flag of the Rising
Sun. What we are now witnessing are
beginnings.
