Putting MT. Roosevelt aside for the time being, as a source of news, it comes from the appropri ations Committee of the House that the budget will be balanced, in substance, by the first of next July. It is pointed out that dur ing the last session appropria- tions were about hundred mill ion dollars less than was asked for ccrrent expenses, and that if the national debt had increased somewhat, the increase had re- suited from federal activities en- tirely outside that troublesome thing known as the budget.

Although the President may be taking a few days off, light still burns late in the State Depart ment, on account of the situation in the far East. It is too early in the conflict to suggest any plan whereby the Japanese and the Chinese may heal the difficulties that exist between them, and about all that the Department of State can do along that line at present is nothing at all: simply wait until the warning parties have battered each other until they are out of breath and the gong sounds for the end of the first round.

 NEW YORK-The sedate house. keeper who works for Helen Hayes and Charlie Macarthur always is December, 1885. The theatre door mestic moods The last was worse than usual.
 Spring was in the air. The Mac Arthurs went downtown early. Miss Hayes had several hours to spare before her nightly performance of Victoria Regina" They decided to buy something (they didn't know whaD for the house. They passed a food store, so they ordered IS pounds of pate de foi gras. f Usually we run the house by leaving it alone" says Miss Hayes.
 "Good servants" Macarthur elaborates. Then he grins, and his two words are a volume
 Theater Keeps Elm Busy It's really a wonder they ever assembled house, or had their lit- tie daughter, Mary, who's ' now, or that they even married back in 1928 They're the busiest theatre royalty extant. He writes movies and plays; she acts in movies and plays.
 That means much traipsing be- P1.no cl " And for Miss Hayes, much traips- ing about the country. She is talk ing Victoria Regina" on a 39-week tour next year.
 She has been in that play since Ishe just means she's not early. man says she always rushes in like "a schoolgirl, whispering, "Oh, I'm late He looks bored and says she just means she's no early
 The MacArthurs live at Nyack, N. Y. That's his boyhood town, 20 miles up the west shore of the Hud- son. The house is evidence Miss Hayes wasn't fooling when she wanted to play Victoria Regina" It is completely Victorian: wax flow CTS under glass cases. brocaded love seats, and draped curtains. It seems that Helen has idolized Victoria ever since she was child, spell bound by her English 'grannie's" stories of the queen.
 Upstairs, Friend Husband has gone completely modern in his suite, where he turns out such plays as Twentieth Century" "The Scoundrel,' and, remember, "The Front Page"
 The Hayes -MacArthur schedules don't fit. They breakfast late to- gether in white dining room. Then they inspect the garden that drops down hill to the Hudson.
 Its so wonderful to find crocus- es still come up in an upset world" says Miss Hayes.
 She won Rockland Countys rose prize last year." says Macarthur.
 Partners No More
 Afternoons they work in separate studies. They eat separate dinners because Miss Hayes must get to the theatre. and Macarthur likes to dine late.
 Once they did show together He wrote "The Sin of Madelor Claudet," and she played the lead. After this" he announced at the end, w edo no plays together. Mar riage is too sensitive to tangle it with artistic creation"
 So: She now sees only the last draft of his plays, and he offers her advice very timidly." He says she could write a good play if she tried, but as for MacArthur acting? He shivers.
 He's Always Popping In
 She accuses him of missing her first nights purposely. He even went to Spain to miss one" she grins. He protests it's not true. You get the idea he really does go, and doesn't tell her.

She's more conscientious about his openings. She even coaxed her producer to close "Coquette,' so she could see his play, The Front Page" get started.
 But if MacArthur doesn't really see her openings he makes up for 1t with startling appearances dur ing her shows runs. He confides that he even startled himself once. He went on the stage in a mob scene to say hello" to his wife in the middle of the act He got stuck for the whole act.

No Japan, No China.
A historic fact dominates Asiatic
scenes like Full, namely, without
Japan there can be no China. Sup
pose Japan had chosen to play safe
and crawled into her shell on her
own tight little islands in the Spring
Of 1904? Suppose again that Japan
had gone down before the tidal wave
sweep OF Russian adventure for her
own Far Eastern empire on the plains
OF Manchuria in the Autumn Of 1905?
There would have been no Manchuria
for which the Chinese patriots froth
at the mouth or the League OF Nations
denounce Japan as an international
robber, and tin place Of the proud
republic Of China one would have
seen crazy quilt Of European colonies
after the fond fancies Of the author
OF the breakup Of China-no Japan,
no China! For some mystic reason
our Chinese friends in Marking find
it so convenient to forget this little
fact.
We are free to admit that Japan
has been exceedingly annoying to
her neighbor. China. Japan is ex-
panding and what country in lis
expansion era has ever failed to be
trying to its neighbors? Ask the
American Indian or the Mexican how
excruciatingly trying the young United
States used to be once upon a time.
But Japan's expansion, like that
Of the United States, is as natural as
the growth of child. Only one thing
stops a child from growing-death.
Geneva has been trying to pass this
death sentence on Japan since the
Manchurian incident, masking it with
tinsel phrases Of pious hypocrisy, but
Japan does not seem amiable enough
to die-even for the sweet sake of
Genevs-made peace.
No Profit in Fighting.
Japan is fighting for loot and
profit" That is the refrain of all
anti-Japanese propaganda the world
over. 1t is an insult to plain arith-
metic. Japan has already spent bill
lions Of yen in the present crisis

more, who knows?

conceive Of Japan getting back even

DR.. Wang Urges Nations Join
In Sending Munitions to China
EnrOy Asks Enforcing
OF Economic Sanctions
4 gainst japan.

Chinese Ambassador C. T. Wang
yesterday called on the United States
to join with other peace-loving ma
tions Of the world in positive action
10 supply China with munitions and
enforce economic sanctions against
Japan in order to help China turn
back what he termed Japanese ag-
gression.
The time Is now at hand when
action is necessary to crystalline the
noble expressions so we'll made by
leaders of the world" DR.. Wang said
at a press conference, emphasizing
he was expressing his personal views
and not speaking for his govern
nent.
In fighting the ruthless, heartless
Japanese militarists," he declared
TIVE are fighting the battles of all
the peace-loving countries of the
world. If they will give us the ma
terials, we will furnish the men.
Lacking in Munitions.
I'VE do not ask military inter-
vention. All we lack is the munitions
and other means to carry on the
light. We have the men-men who
have demonstrated their courage to
resist their marauders."
He said he hoped the proposed
conference of signatories of the
nine-power treaty concerning means
10 maintain the integrity of China
would result in concerted action by
the world powers to:
81. Give us all the necessary help
In the way of munitions.
80. Participate actively in sane
tons against the Japanese"
DR.. Wang remarked that there was
. strong sympathy" in the United
States for boycotting japanese goods.
1.-THE important thing" he asserted,
''is concerted action so that none of
the peace-loving countries may suffer
by helping China"
He suggested such concerted action
should involve moves by countries that
might participate in sanctions against
Japan to buy from each other suff1-
cient goods to make up for the trade
lost by 'quarantining" the Japanese
Sees Peace Desired.
Declaring that for nearly % years
Of the 26 years the Chinese Republic
has been in existence it has suffered
from Japanese aggression, DR.. Wang
said he believed that now only a
smashing military victory over the
Japanese armies could settle the
problem. However, he said, China is
willing to accept any pacific means of
settlement based on reason"
He said he believed the japanese
people >desire peace and "have no
enthusiasm for the war against
China" but that they now ARE under
the heels of the japanese militarists. "
He expressed conviction that China
could win her struggle with these
militarists merely "by resisting long
enough" without a definite military
offensive against the japanese. Sup
plies are Of vital Importance" he en-
phasi8ed.
Dr.. Wang's remarks 1t his press
