CUT 'EM OFF AT THE POCKETS

Since along last summer there has been great deal of talk and some reported action in connection with the Japanese fisheries invasion Whether the State Department, which to take the question up with Japan, has accomplished anything definite has not been announced although it is assumed that negotiations are still underway
 And while these negotiations are going on, we'd like to suggest that than passing attention be paid to the request sent to Washington by the Purse Seiners demanding that importation of Japanese fish products be stopped
 Hasn't the cry been that it is Alaska crab Alaska salmon and other kinds of fish caught in American waters that the Japanese have been taking, canning and shipping back to this country in the import trade at lower price than Americans produce the products? Everyone familiar at all with the business who buys of crab meat and pays any attention to his purchase knows that it is fact It isn't to say that all Japanese crab. for example originally from American waters But it is a fact that large amount of crab has been taken off shores by the Japanese canned and traded into market to compete with the American products The same is true of salmon
 Isn't the logical place to take action against such ruinous trade practices then at the by reus- ing allow such products the American market? Of course it is. But the fact remains that we want to keep foreign trade.
 We don't want Japan to catch our fish but we want to trade with them We don't to cripple cotton business, but do not hesitate to take 85 percent of the entire silk output of Japan which, of course means just that much less business for the cotton industry
 T',ere probably mighty few grocery stores in the country. from Juneau to Miami that do not have their shelves this moment Japanese packed fish products of sort another They may not feature them at least Alaska merchants do not; but they there nevertheless present obstacle against vigorous American trade; driving down the market and helping to provide livelihood for Japan fishermen
 If we really want to do something about the Jap nvasionbe it fishing in Bristol Bay handling their products couners-the place to cut them off is at the pockets; stop buying their goods

 As Edwin L. James writing in the New York Times, says the Japanese victory in China takes its place along with the Italian victory in Ethiopia as showing that the idea of collective security in the world today is mirage and perhaps dangerous one Mir James continues in this vein:
 Tokyo has been planning the Chinese coup for years and the other powers have known it. D Bono's book on the Ethiopian conquest reveals that Mussoni set him to work the job in 1882 three years before

Price of a Balanced Budget
(New York Times)

(NeW York TlmeS)
 In the increasingly critical matter of bringing the national budget into balance, after seven successive deficits which have than doubled the public debt there is too much willingness to expect miracle in Washington The President can,sa bring the bud get into balance, the financially conservative mem bers of Congress cannot bring it into balance without the effective support of public opinion in all sections of the country very large part of the money which the Treasury distributes straight into the hands of politically important groups of voters who have come to believe that they have properly vested n terest in the continuation of such spending The in- luence of these groups in determining the fiscal poi- ces of the Government be checked only by demonstration of the fact that the prevailing senti ment of the country is actually in favor of retrench- ment.
 This situation plainly in the mind of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Taylor when he said in his address before the Economic Club that while there reassuring signs that large part of the American public has to realize the necessity of balanced budget still be little discouraged when, in the face of these urgent demands in the national in industries and economic groups to remove much enc foot from the trough In the scramble for Federal funds the claims of group used to bolster the claims of every other group. InduStrys demand for the protection of prohibtive tariff is countered by the farmers demand for bounties which will give him tariff equivalent and behind the farmer line up other interests which are seeking favors
 The price of a balanced budget is larger meas ure o1 Self-reance on the part o individual citizens and local communities in the solution of their prob lems The Roosevelt Administration can perform miracles; but it can do much to encourage the development of this individual and local self-rellance than has done in recent years. It halt the traliZation of authority in Washington It to restore power and responsibility to the States and municipalities. It discourage the notion that wealth be produced by making laws about it, and that we can all grow richer if we do less work. It preach the sound odfashioned doctrine that it is the duty of citizens to support their Government not the duty of the Government to support it's citizens

 Tn other words aggressor nations may now plan in advance and carry out openly of conquest against all existing treaties and commitments and do what they seek with impunity if they have the material force to do
 Geneva is no longer point of world political interests and cobwebs gather in the chambers of the World Court. That is the of the growth of international cooperation in the past quarter of century.
 All that is now needed to make the fiasco com pete and aggression against weak nations perfectly safe is for all the powers to adopt neutrality policy If Britain would decide to remain strictly neutral should Germany attack France should France decide to be neutral if Italy attacks Yugosavia, then the picture would be perfect"

CHAPTER XI

T suppose congratulations are in order" Barry sneered.
 "YeS, Barry" Jack replied.
 "Youll get them all right you
 Jack broke in, curtly: T thought you'd show better sportsmanShip Not that particularly want your congratulations"
 sylvia had Q long head" Barry replied angrily, seeing which way parental preference lies. The fa- vorite stepson of the president of the Wentworth Company Is no small fry even for her"
 q think you're detestable," sylvia spoke scornfully. Barry swung on his heels and made his way to the dining room.
 I'm glad that's over" Jack said soberly. T suspect he's pretty cut up."
 His vanity may have received very tiny prick" Sylvia said, "ano that's all"
 Sylvia was right. Barry was smarting under & sense of inferior ity and wounded pride. This was merely another instance among nu- merous others when he had been outdistanced by his stepbrother.
 "Thinks he has the world by the tail and is swinging 1t around" Bar. " grumbled to himself. He poured out a stiff drink and gulped Il down.
 He thought angrily of his father and his devotion to Jack. As for himself-where would he be If his mother didn't supplement his allow ance from housekeeping funds? A millionaire's stepsonl But what good came of that If you were al. ways held within certain amounts.
 "A marriage with Sylvia would have set me up in the old boys opinion" Barry thought, gloomily But Jack had grabbed off this rich plum, just as he grabbed off all the others. Well, some day maybe Brother Jack would have a turn ot luck. He would like to see him humbled. He would like to humble him, himself. Jack had 1t coming to him
 He heard his mothers voice: Per kias, is MT. Barry home?"
 Heavens, wouldn't she ever let hic1 grow up? And then Barry re- mambered his injured role.
 
 AS his mother reached the door Bigry spoke in a melancholy voice: Please don't start any mysteries mother. Because I'm not drunk I've had a few drinks. Who wouldn't? Sylvia has ditched me-
 "She couldn't" Mrs. Wentworth cried. "You mustn't take a quarrel seriously"
 "It's no quarrel, mother. She's going to marry Jack"
 For a moment, Mrs. Wentworth stood in stunned silence. Then, she sank heavily to a chair.

thinking. A not very neat person despite her carefully braided hair. With @ mentality that would nt physical unkemptness.
 She had not really given Ardatn 8 thought until now. But now she called upon all her memories, ana lyzing Ardath for any possinIe charm that might appeal to Alan
 No, she would stop thinking ur1- happy thoughts. Like Ardath, she would find out where Alan had moved. Like Ardath, she would casu- ally bump into him, and then De invited to his studio. They would tumble out all their troubles and perplexities, and then laugh over them. And then everything would be very right indeed.
 But day dreams didn't help. And didn't materialize. For Jill too had her pride. How much happier and more right 1t would be If Alan would come to her. With woman's intui- ton, she felt that was the way her young knight who was yielding his brush with as much fine zeal as ever a knight of old had wielded his sword, would want 1t to be.
 While Jill was having her hard time, Alan was waging @ personal battle. Jill, who has deceived him, couldn't be the girl of his dreams. So Alan reasoned with hard, young logic. But all of his logic and ideal- ism failed to keep him from being miserably lonely.
 He painted fiercely, trying to shut out the picture of Jill as he had last seen her. It kept coming before his eyes and the canvas. Jill with her tremulous young mouth, which was molded for love and laughter. Jill with a hurt in her lovely, honest eyes.
 Alan told himself he was being Q sentimental fool. Some other girl would come into his life, and then he would forget Jill.
 And one day another girl did come in.
 Alan was painting. There was N good light, and the widowed recess was an admirable place for his eas- el. The commodiouS window box seemed made for an endless assert ment of painting paraphernalia.
 He could shut his eyes to the dis- illusioning view from the window Ugly rear premises which were an alley where a commercial tide rolled up and out trucks, automo- piles, piled with packages, evidences of busy commerce.
 A couch in one corner, which made Q not uncomfortable bed at night, became an ornamental asset to his room in the daytime. The artistic owner, from whom he had leased this studio apartment, had left behind & gorgeous hand-woveil cover of East Indian workmanship, in exquisite shades of lapis lazlili blue, comedian red and emerald green. With curious inconsist- ency, the owner who had haggled over the rent had left this rare arr ticle behind. Alan was sure 1t would have brought sum far in excess of the entire amount he had paid for his three months lease.
 The tapestry was spread over the couch in fairly orderly precision, and Alan was giving himself to in. spiration at the moment the doorbell rang.
 He had half a mind to igoore the summons. But then 1t might be @ potential customer.
 Irritation was in his eyes when he saw the bell-ringer was only the strange girl who lived with Jill's friend, and who was associated with the darkest day he could remember.
