EDITORIAL OFTHE WEEK
By William Pickens for 4. N. P.

Somebody better take those war planes away from those
Chinese before they hurt each other. They aimed at a japanese
batteships in he river and hit in THE heart of their own city,
killing AmerI ans, Frenehmen and Englishmen. The japanese
w~arslips are in the Whangpoo and the great Yangtse. 1t seemT
if the Chinese missed the ships, they might at least land in
the river and not in the International Settlement or hotels far
inland. But what is more interesting is the further evidence of
the bias of American newspapers and their antiJapanese feel
ing, as shown in their blaming Japan because Americans were
killed by Chinese bombs which were badly aimed at the Japan
csc. The papers reason il is the fault of the japanese because
they had no business being thetarget 70 the Chfhese-and thai
since the shots we're meant for japanese, they are to be blam-
ed because those shots killed foreign white people. Presum-
ably, If the shots had only hit the Japanese, everything would
have been all right-in our newspapers-and they would have
been praising the Chinese for their courage and marksman-
Gip. If the Chinese had been good, all tine 'credt would have
gone to China, undoubtedly-but since their aim was bad, the
blame goes to Japan. How logical,
The only logic we know so far to match it comes out of
Arkansas; some years ago in the riots in Elaine county in that
state, the white mob was chasing some Negroes, and some of
the Negroes ran and hid in the swamp. When the mob sur
rounded the swamp and began shooting, a member of the mob
shot another member dead by mistake. There, when the six
Negroes, wet and wounded, were pulled out of the swamp, they
were chraged with first degree murder because this white man
had been killed by bullets meant for them. They were convict
ed and all headed for the klectric chair. Tt took a five year
fight, the greatest fight of its kind before the Scottsboro cases,
to get a reversal of the sentence. The mob evidently reasoned
this way: if it had not been for those Negroes, the white mob
ster would not have been killed by accident by his own fell
low-mobsters: therefore, the Negroes were to blame-ergo.
guilty. See if the Chinese had net been trying to kill Japan
ese, they would not have killed Americans by mistake: there
fore the Japanese caused the killing, and therefore the Japan
csc rather than the Chinese are guilty Of the slaughter.
Really, IN these days logic is just what one wants it to be
like history, anthropology and pseudo3eience. Wilful rationn-
aization is substituted for reason, and the mob Is stirred. To
test the thing out, you just let the Japanese an some bombs
at Chinese and hit a hotel fI lof Americans instead,-can you
imagine you will hear anybody blaming the lucky Chinese for
escaping the shellsi No but you can imagine our jngoes call
ing for war with Japan, for being so sinful as to hit Amer
leans even by mistake. Verify, in this werld do our passions
lead us a race while our intellect leads us an inch. We have
built up an antiJapanesd complex; therefore, those japanese
damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Backbone of Credit

The stock fire Insurance industry was established and
has been maintained on the principle that adequate profits must
be made in order to protect the policyholder-and that, at the
same time, the cost of insurance to the public must be progress
sively reduced. These two purposes may seem at odds, but the
industry has shown that they can be achieved. The financial
position of the companies has been strengthened and the cost
of stock fire insurance is today 40 per cent less ON the aver
age than it was in 1900. In other words, the industry has found
ways and means of reducing the cost of doing business and it
has invariably shared the savings with policyholders. For three
quarters Of a century, the industry has fought on behalf of
fire prevention and fire protection, and success has followed.
The entire country has been included in an elaborate system
whereby cities, towns and villages are inspected and graded
in the light Of hazards The cumulative effect of these activ-
tiles has been to save the country billions of dollars-in reduc
ed insurance premiums, lower fire loss, and other indirect
costs that are an inescapable part Of fire waste.

Not since 1917 has a major ma
ton declared war. Yet in the IN
tervening years there have been a
number of far reaching senguinary
conflicts. What might be termed
Mars modern technique does not
require a formal declaration of
war-armies are mobilizeH, sol
diers and civilians are slaughtered,
cities are devasted and govern
ments change even while, officially
speaking, actual war does not ex-

Italy's Ethiopian campaign. for
example, war was not declared
but the result of the invasion wa
to eliminate the Ethiopian Mon
archy and make the country into
an Italian colony governed by the
Italian Military. Russia and
France have not declared war on
the Spanish Insurgents, nor have
Germany and Italy broken off re-
lations with the Spanish Govern
ment-yet it is no secret that
Frances cause has been KEPT alive
with the aid of German and Italian
troops and equipment, while the
Government forces would have col
lapsed long since had it not been
for Russian airplanes and arma-
ments and French military experts.
Today in the Far East the world is
again witnessing a war without a
declaration Of war that 10 of ut
most significance not only to the
nations involved, bat to the West
ern World as we'll.
Japan has gone to the limit In
recent years to build up her army
and navy. For a small country, she
has an amazing military machine,
far superior to that Of the Chinese
though China herself has made
progress in unifying and strength
eniRg the country. Ohina's greatest
weakness has always been the COR
ruption Of her local governments
as Oswald Garrison Willard has
written, "The purchasing of Chin
csc statesmen and generals is Jap
ans long suit; it has advanced her
and her policy of conquest far more
rapidly than have her rifles and
%eannons." The central, Marking
government has usually proven un-
able to control the superabundant
local war lords-each with his own
interest at heart and each SUSPECT
Gus of the others. The situation as
it exists in China, IS as if each
American stote governor had a
private army which he could use
for any purpose he wishes, even to
the extreme of fighting the armies
of neighboring governors.
As a consequence, plus Japan's
far mor efficient and modern war
machines, it is believed certain that
the Japanese will encounter rela-
lively little trouble in conquering
the north provinces. She will take
over cities and accomplish destru-
ction on a vast scale, and probably
replace present local governments
with puppet Chinese governments
controlled by the Japanese, as she
did in Manchuria. But in the long
run, Japan's chances of success
are dubious. China is a tremendous

Negroes Ordered to
Vote Against Unions
In Cafeteria Chain

New York, Aug. 26 amp
Negro employees of the Horn and
Hardart company, operator of a
chain of automats and cafeterias
against which a strike is new in
progress, were told to vote against
the unions in the poll conducted by
the State Labor Relations board on
July 10th, it was declared Tuesday
at the boards hearing.
This evidence was submitted by
two American Federation of Labor
unions which asked that result of
the election be set aside. A major
ity vote was cast against the Cafe
eria Workers and the Bakery and
Confectionery Workers unions in
the balloting.
Manning Johnson, business agent
70 the Cafeteria Workers union,
testified he attended a meeting of
the olored Relief association, a
company sick bentit organization,
at which every n was urged by a
Mr.. Charlton, the president, to vote
against the union because lit was
controlled by racketeers." Workers
were told "they would be kicked out
of the automats and replaced by
white workers" unless they voted
against tho union and were also
told that "the Hart and Hardart
management was looking to colored
workers to remain loyal and not
bite the hand that fed them," John
son said. 0
Peter Lucas. white automat en-
ployee, said he helped distribute
Identification cards to be ased by
employees in the election and two
company managers tried to intim-
idate him and other workers.

virtually swallowed by the immense
country. China has more than half
a billion people as against Japan's
* million.
Furthermore, it seems ineonceiv-
able that Japan will be- permitted
by other powers to advance I'M
hindered into China. Russia is
strongly anti-Japanese and will, if
matters go far enough, throw her
resources to the side of China. And
if it came down to a Russo-Japan
csc w9r, most military fztperts
think the bear would win.
England will attempt to limit
Japan's conquest in the interest of
her own rade. and so, in all pro-
debility, will the United States and
France. And lastly, it is a question
whether Japan's financial resour-
res are sufficient to stand a long
struggle-today nor than fifty
per cent of her governments bud
get is earmarked for the army and
navy, and she has a soaring nation
