The Forgotten Girls

I have been reading with in
terest the series of articles in
your paper on the living and
housing conditions Of the aver
age government clerk. Poor
little girls struggling to live on
the mere pittance of say, 500
per month! Sad indeed! But,

Sammy? What of those girls

if we can't squeeze out a little
pity for them. Yea, their name
is legion! They even invade the
altruistic organizations, and
some times they are masked as
the temporary or part-time
worker.
And now comes the climax in
the D. c. wage situation. The
Big Boss says that a girls sum-
mer wardrobe should cost only
$12, and that her winter coat
should cost no more than $50.
For proof they display coats
selling for that amount in local
stores.
Such coats may look well on
parade, but venture to say that
the girl who wears them while
standing on the corner waiting

Three-Minute
Journeys
BY TEMPLE MANNING

An article about Dalmatia has
brought many requests for an
otner, and so we are happy to
oblige. AS has been noted.
Yes, Dalmatia has now "ar.
rived" and from what we have
heard about conditions last sum-
mer, things are going to be diff.
ferent. But nothing can destroy
the sheer loneliness Of the Dal-
matian coast, the constant SUM-
shine, the masses Of flowers, the
incredibly blue water and the
picturesque peasant costumes.
The cruises that sail out Of
Trieste or Venice to Athens are
the best bet for those visiting
the coast for the first time. And
how we envy those making their
initial visit to Yugoslavia! They
will enjoy Rab, with its gay wa
teItront, its cafes, hotels and
villas. 1t is a charming resort,
popular with the people Of
Yugoslavia.
When the boat puts in at
Split. then passengers see a real
Dalmatian coastal resort. And
the beach is as crowded as At
lantic City or Brighton.
But there are de luxe hotels,
smart villas, a magnificent
beach, soft yet buoyant water
and the Palace Of Dionysius.
This ancient building that occu.
pies blocks ana blocks today
houses thousands of families
who have apartments or per.
haps just a room in this mar.
velcus old structure.
But perhaps the most glorious
town along the coast is beaute-
Gus Dubrovnik, once known as
Ragusa. If you have been look
ing for the perfect spot, the
place that has everything, a
place that is ancient and mel
low, yet modern and scintillat-
ing, then Dubrovnik is your
dish.

The Nine Power Treaty
The Naval Ratio Pact
What They Mean today
ONCE again dangerous, mis-
leading half-truths are being
sold to the people of the United
States.
President Roosevelt, the Sec
rotary of State and a former
Secret ary of State have
choruSed in unison thst Japan
is a breaker of treaties and
agreements, and, therefore, a
promoter of international an
archy and world peace. Spe-
officially Japan is accused OF
breaking the Nine Power Treaty
and the Naval Ratio Pact.
WHAT is the Nine-Power
w Treaty? What is this
Naval Ratio Pact?
Both were made at the Wash
ington Conference in December,
1921, and January anu Febru'
airy, 1922. The signers were
the United States, China,
Japan, Great Britain, Belgium.
France. Italy, the Netherlands
and Portugal. Exclusive OF
China, the eight agreed upon
the sovereignty, territorial in
tegrity and independence OF
China.
The Naval Ratio Pact was
something entirely different. Its
purpose was to limit naval arna-
ments among five nations
Great Britain, the United States,
Japan, France and italy.
The time limit of the naval
agreement extended to the end
of 1896. When the time limit
was up, Japan declared she did
not care to continue as a party
to that agreement. For that
she was promptly denounced by
the United States Government
in 1886.
If you and I had an agree
ment which bound us to observe
certain restrictions up to 1910,
and then at that time you said:
81 don't care to continue this
agreement any more" where do
I get the legal or the moral
right to denounce you as a dis
turber Of the peace, a promoter
Of anarchy and treaty breaker?
DUT what about this Nine
~ Power Treaty? Neither Mr..
Hull, nor Mr.. Roosevelt nor
Mr.. Stimson have been honest
enough to explain that the Nine.
Power Treaty has been, from
the very day it was signed, a
defective treaty.
First, it is a contract designed
to last indefinitely at the whims
and fancies Of two powers domi-
mating the nine powers who
signed-the United States and
Great Britain.
How would you like to be horn
swoggled into a contract which
bound you to do certain things
indefinitely - 999 years may
hap-in which there was no
clause which ever offered you
the opportunity of fair re-
adjustment?
And that is the second point
there is no clause in that Nine
Power Treaty providing for re-
adjustment of its provisions as
each five-year period Of history
produces changing economic and
political situations in the Far
East.
Thirdly. the nine powers
blandly ignored Russia entirely
when the treaty was made in
1922.
Well. what happened because
of that diplomatic oversight?
The Soviet government came out
on top. Russia emerged once
again as a great and mighty
power in the Far East. She
joined the League of Nations.
Did these nine powers, the
United States included, admit

The young people making
these demands ranged from
agnostics to the most orthodox

the demand was the same.
Some specified that the physi-
cal instruction and examina-
