Chinese Bullets

TOKYO, May 26 G.N.S)-A
Chinese government patrol boat
fired across the bows of two Japa-
nese fishing boats off Dairen,
Manchukuo, and was reported to
have wounded a Japanese in the
arm, Dairen news dispatch said
today. Apparently, the report said,
the gunboat was seeking SNUG

after the shots, the dispatch said,
and men from the gunboat
searched them. The fishing boats
were then released. Japanese au-

FAILURE

Mr. Roosevelt speaks of successes, but the rec
ord shows failure. He demands still more restric-
tions on production and more regulation of farm
ers and markets. He will continue giving bounties
for non-producton. He will extend his efforts to
control prices, though the long history in this and
other countries of such attempts shows that they
always fail In addition he asks support of a
scheme for storing SURPRISES from fat years for
consumption in lean years. He calls it the "ever-
normal granary." 1t appeal only to those of
extremely limited economic experience and judg-
ment
already have. Mr. Wallace didn't invent the idea.
1t is as old as Joseph, but in the intervening CEN
turies it has been greatly refined. America has
known many years of poor crops, but without help
from the bureaucrats, have never known fam
ine We have never eaten our seed corn. We have
never (unt the government interviewed in the mar
kets) accumulated huge, unsod surplus OF grain
and cotton in storage to depress prices the follow
ing year. ....
The administration now proposes to determine
what is normal crop, normal carryover, nor
nal price and normal weather. 1t proposes to do
what no one can do. If the scheme is adopted it
will result either as the farm board experiment re-
suited, in the accumulation of huge stocks in stor-
age or else in shortages which must be filled by
purchases abroad. Either way, farmers, taxpayers,
and consumers will be forced to share the heavy
cost of faiure-Chicago Tribune.

MILL HOME OWNERSHIP

Homes in the Whitney mill village in Spartan
burg county, 40 of them, have been sold by the
company to its employees at an average price OF
$1,000, with 10 per cent down and the balance to
be paid over long period.
Eventually this plan probably will be followed in
all southern industrial communities. ..
Many .far-seeing mill executives long have been
ready to go into the arrangement but workers in
most cases have not been ready for it. Now an in
creasing number is both ready and willing, and the
number is both ready and willing, and the number
will grow if the Whitney test proves as successful
expected.
The mill village came into being not through
choice on the part of manufacturers but through
necessity.
Labor, attracted from farms and mountains,
would have had no homes but for the establishment
of the villages.
And the villages through the years have been
costly to maintain.
Manufacturers would be freed of expense and
responsibility should the Whitney plan work out
and become general, and workers would have the
opportunity to enjoy independence and the fruits
of thrift.
Much time will elapse before this day arrives, of
course, but it is to be hoped that no undue delay
will be ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Piedmont.

THE LOGICAL LEADER

Senator James F. ,Byrnes of South Carolina is
the logical man to succeed the late Senator Joseph
T. Robinson as majority floor leader.
He will not be the preference of President Roose-
welt in the circumstances, albeit they are close
friends but it would be beneficial to the national
welfare and to the party if the Democrats in the
senate should choose him as their chief. "a
President Roosevelt doubtless will wish for the
election of Senator Alben W. Barley of Kentucky,
who has shown by his record that he is willing to
go whole hog with the president on all administra-
ton programs
Senator Byrnes on the other hand has had a
friendly but open-minded attitude toward the pres
dents ambitions. os.s
He has demurred on occasion from policies deal
ing with spending, labor, relief and kindred vital
matters, reserving the right to think for himself
and to act for what he considers the highest inter-
ests of the nation.
The ,senates 76 Democrats when they meet in
caucus to reach decision would serve the country
well by electing Senator Byrnes to this important
post.--Greenvie Piedmont.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE HOUSE ALSO INDICATES REVOLT

Mr. Roosevelt writes Senator Barley to take up
where the lamented Senator Robertson left out and
go on through with the court bill fight.
Such unflinchng determination on the part.oI
the President is past finding out.
1t is utterly beyond the terms of reason that,
in the face of protests from his felow-countrymen
and in face of cogent evidences that congress- both
senate and house, sharply split on this ISSUE ne
should continue with the urgency almost OF an OBJ
session to press this radicalismuG [I.. SHtG3'
The public has been taking its, cue from the SEN
ate as indicating the hostility aroused among the
lawmakers to this bill proposed by the White House
l But clearly the house is also up in arms.
f When Representative Summers, chairman of the
judiciary committee, announced the other day that
his committee might kill this measure by the sim
pie process of not bringing it to the floor he ac-
companied this announcement with a vehementy
fierce speech in opposition to the bill. ..
And at the conclusion of this diatribic arraign-
ment by Representative Summers, Dewey L. Flem-
ing, the Capitol correspondent of The Baltimore
Sun, wrote his newspaper:
"The House, with more than 800 of its 435 men,
bers in attendance, rose almost as a man and
cheered the Texan to the echo as he concluded his
speech. Democrats like Republicans, stomped their
feet clapped their hands and yelled in a tumultu-
Gus ovation without parallel in this session of con-
gress." -. r#,.
Robert C. Albright, covering the address for the
Washington Post, said:
GAS the HcSse ,roared its ovation, only Majority
Leader Sam Rayburn, Minority Leader Smell and
some half dozen Democrats were not standing,
slappng and cheering"
This action of the representatives would tend to
the conclusiot that if they have justly earned the
opprobrum 6s N9ing no more than rubber stamps"
during the re, .Ae of the New Deal, they are now
of a mind to assert their own independence in this
court battle-Charlotte Observer.

UNITED STATES TESTING CHINA'S
e. rr. SALESMANSHIP CHINA,
lBy BRUCE CATION


Agreement between the United States
and China to expand their cooperative
monetary program with plan for barter
ing gold and silver is interesting news for
those who like to keep tab ON how the
wind blows" in our foreign relations, and
also, incidentally, for people who have
some loose money they would like,t put
away in foreign investments. iao 3. ',
The new understanding, announced
Jointly by Treasury Secretary Morgenthan
and H. H. Kung, Chinese finance minister,
provides simply that the Chinese govern
ment will purchase gold from the United
States, payment for the gold to be made
from the large silver reserves of the Cen
trail Bank of China. rt ,Ae lal
This follows up the agreement of May,
1886, by which the United States agreed
to purchase Substantial" amounts of sill
yer from the Central Bank of China, and
to make dollar exchange available tie that
bank for sterilization purposes. . co.,.
AS far dis the American public is con-
cerned, the immediate effect will amount
merely to an increase in the issuance of
silver certificates. ..s..: ... .
But something just little more tangi-
BILE than that is expected by the astute
Chinese. Significantly, DR.. Kung, when he
visited the United States to negotiate the
new pact this summer, suggested frankly
that American citizens would find China a
good place for investments. n, ,..t I'll,
His attitude was that China, united,
fast-moving and progressive" nation, ,hav-
ing demonstrated its good faith in seeking
a respected place in the world, has full
filled the requirements of a reputable bor-
rover. .
No one doubts DIR. Kung's sincerity.
China may be the unconquerable land of
untold riches, and its government may be
responsible for all its obligations, insofar
as circumstances permit. But it's those
circumstances" that may bring the en-
barrassing pause as DR.. Kung braces him.

For instance, among those "circum-
stances" might easily be another of the in

other of the serious skirmishes with one or
more of the rowing Chinese Red armies.
There may be more unannounced inva-
sions by Japan, new insurgence among the
powerful Cantonese, or even another of

President Chang Kai-Shek himself was a

If the United. States government can, un-

It. seems to me that We III the

sponsibility of arousing the pup:
lie again to the menace that con-
fronts us if we permit any pack
ing of the Supreme Court.
The proposed compromise wlnI
would give the President t9yeg
to appoint one justice every year
so long as there .ayY any mem
berS of the CONT ofS6 Years OBJ
over, is just as Bad as the original
proposal that he appoint six JUS
tees to the Court. Indeed, IT Is
more dangerous, because the
scheme is subtle, misleading and
confusing.
If such compromise should be
adopted, the President would
within six months, be able to APP
point three new justices, one TO
ill Van Devanter's place, one FOR
the year 1897 and on January /,
one for 1893. 1t is possible that
there would be other vacancies IN
the Court within a year. :.
