Nippon's Wooing of China
(New York World Telegram

(NeW YOrK 3WOrld-Ielegram)
 Japans courtshp of China reminds us of one of those impossible, oldfashioned ten. twent and thirt'" melodramas
 The black -mustachioed villain of the piece would pursue the heroine through four acts of the most diabolcal persecution imaginable. He would tie her to the railroad track the fast mail might over her He would bind her to the carriage of the old mill she might be sawed in two He would put knockout drops in her coffee and throw her off Brook lyn Bridge. Then in the last act dagger in hand he would hiss t-$
 Now, me proud beauty will you marry me2' And somehow he always seemed astounded when she replied No she preferred her rags and her virtue to becoming the plaything of such as he.
 The soldiers of Nippon, in full war kit have just marched into Peiping to take over this ancient Chinese capital Overhead roared their battle planes. But this time, instead of bombs, they dropped mash notes.
 "The Japanese army has driven out your wicked rulers" the raining pamphlets proclaimed. And it will keep them out. Although Nanking is prepared to wage destructive war do not be afraid The Jap army will protect you"
 There is something magnificently and breath takngly naive about all this If you didn't know otherwise it would sound if the Japanese were indulging in bit of subtle if not grim, humor.
 But such is far from the They in deadly earnest At the minimum they out to 'protest-that is, control-all North China. If nec essary they are prepared to ride into power tor rent of blood
 And yet whenever the Chinese offer mild ob- jection to his protection" the Japanese give them a burst of artillery and machine-gun fire. At the time they solemnly the world of their sad regret having to resort to such harsh measures
 You see" they explain the Chinese are not sincere They can't be trusted"
 All of which would be funny indeed were it not so terribly tragic.

Pay and Hours
(The Digestl

i (Ihe DlgeSt)
 "A fair days pay for fair days work has been the chief objective of President Roosevelts New Deal It the main prop of the MIRA, which the Supreme Court kicked over in 1885 It is the backbone idea of the Black Connery wages and hours bill submitted by the Administration in drastic form in May, mod- fled and passed by the Senate and shipped to the House last week.
 la This Fair Labor Standards bill is broadside at wage slavery sweatshops and child labor It creates five-man board with power to regulate wages and hours industry by industry but prohibits establish ment of any maximum work-week of less than forty hours, or any minimum hourly wage of more than forty cents It forbids interstate shipments of goods produced by children under Is. However, it specif- caly exemps under it's provisions such classes of em poyees agricultural workers railway express work CTS and apprentices. The board probably will make further exemptions.
 The bill is reincarnation of the Blue Eagle in spirit but not in detail NFAs regulatory power was vested, not in board but in codes which industry imposed upon itself and which the Supreme Court termed an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power" The Blue Eagle scared into the stratosphere of rice-fixng and fair-trade practices This bill. concerned solely with better pay and shorter hours, is less adventurous.
