HOW IT WORKS OUT
"Under the act authorizing
ALLEGATION of funds" Mr.. Fisher
said, I'VE must divide the funds
'equitably according to farm
property and prevalence of
farm tenancy in the various
States and Territories. There
are. we understand. about 40
farmers in the District and on
that basis the $87 is the Dis

Those militant gentlemen past the fighting age,
who believe that the United States cannot stand
calmly by and let "the mad dog nations run loose
should ask Mr.. Joseph p Tumulty to repeat GER
tain incident he took part in while he was Secre-
tary to Woodrow Wilson. He dined with two in.
fluential citizens over 49, one night during the
World War and listened to their outbursts OF
patriotic conversation. Said one:
ct breaks my heart that cannot fight for my
country. I long to take my place with our
boys over there"
Said the other: Whenever see the flag of my
country could weep that middle age has come
upon me. Gladly would lay down my life for
the Stars and Stripes of my native land"

Dwight Floyd, colored. Of 74S

he was walking in the 1900 block

There assurance seemed to exist that the new
attitude can be successfully transposed into a
workable program without extraordinary dangers.
They may have been wrong, but here is the
way they reasoned it out before they started.
(You understand this background of inside
reason is wholly unofticiGIJ
Here's the Lineup
The lineup for this thing was Great Britain,
the U. S., France-(and Russia). You must al
ways put Russia in parenthetical whisper at the
end, because this is supposed to be a lineup Of
democracies against dictators.
Against were Japan, Germany and Italy.
The inside dope was that the opposition lineup
might soon be even weaker, when Mussolini care
fully counted the phalanx of noses opposing him.
At any rate, the authorities here rightly consid-
cred it ridiculous to expect the three weak dicta
torships to take the four largest nations in the
world in fight. That possibility was completely
discarded.
The only doubt concerned Japan. Some military
authorities in the Government here who know the
Far East had a suspicion that the Oriental mind
might not appreciate the reasonableness OF a
forceful peace policy.
They feared that official frenzy out there

to bring the boy East for the operation. That
night could not sleep because thought of how
selfish I had been. I know could have raised
the money somewhere. I always have managed
to do it at the last moment, it seems.
So, at o'clock in the morning, went to the
telephone and told the hospital to send the boy
to Baltimore. Early the next day called DR..
John Finney, head of the Union Memorial Hos
pita1. He has one of the greatest hearts know
Of. When told him what had done and asked
him to tell DR.. Dandy to do the operation as
reasonable as possible, he said: "Evalyn, send
the boy on, it won't cost thing"
thanked God then hadn't yielded to my first
impulse.
But, when called the Colorado hospital back,
they said the boy was sinking so fast he couldn't
stand the trip East Then, DR.. Slough, wonder
full old Western surgeon, who never has special
lied in brain work, stepped in and performed one
of the most delicate operations known to medical

DR.. Slough saved the boys life.
Defends the Union
Realizing that the lad probably never will be
able to ride again, we got fighting law firm to
see if he could get any damages. The lawyers
found that the tracks insurance policies did not
cover the jockeys. Everyone in the stands with
plenty of money was well protected. Even the
automobiles we're insured in case the wild ponies
ran into them. But the poor devils who we're
taking a chance with their lives had no protec-
ton. Isn't it shame, the lawyer wrote, that
this boy will have to go through life hopeless
cripple and burden on society.
could only think that if the boy had belonged
to union of jockeys the race tracks insurance
would have covered him as well as the spectators.
And people wonder why am for the unions! I'll
say I'm for them. I have never yet seen the
underdog get anything unless someone got up
and fought for him and his rights-and fought
good and hard!

might create an incident But the great majority
knew Japan had more than she could handle at
that moment in China. It seemed to them that
Mr.. Roosevelt could not have caught Japan more
preoccuped at any time in the last 20 years. This
point was not overlooked
Lots to CheW On
Then Japan had seized 10000 square miles
more Of Chinese territory at that moment of her
current conquest The insiders here had sneaky
feeling this is about all she would be able to mas.
ticate. It would not have surprised them if Tokyo
privately would have relished an opportunity to
get away with her loot and call it quits for the
time being.
A more realistic danger to the policy was GER
tainly analyzed-the possibility of danger from
its friends. First there was Russia, always UMPIRE
dictable.
Then there was Britain always too practicable.
That is, British diplomats might like nothing bet.
ter than to shove the U. S. up front and load us
with more than our share of responsibility in
Chinese situation where her investments are 10
times ours. Thus the weight of the evidence at
hand was decidedly in favor Of daring the venture.
Why the Boycott Talk?
Talk Of an economic boycott naturally started
Immediately. The suggestion was made that the
big four could end the Chinese war in 80 days by
following up with an economic boycott.
Among the available facts which can be found
here on the ACCESSIBILITY of boycott are these:
Japan has enough cotton to last her about
three months. She also has been stocking up on
scrap iron and other war materials. Her exports
from the u S. so far this year are nearly twice
last year.
She was so well fixed that on the very day be.
fore Mr.. r. spoke out. the japanese Trade Com
mission announced the importation of more than
300 commodities would be prohibited or reduced
to conserve her financial strength" This appar.
emily meant she has most of the raw materials
she can use and pay for at this time.
