The situation in the Orient daily becomes more
sensitive In Shanghai appears to rest the dynamite

fagration There located the International Settle

most important also Japan. have concessions and
certain restricted areas.
The fact that Japan has rights in the Inter-
national Settlement while China has none is most
significant In other words the foreign powers, in
Guiding our own country, must legally recognize the
japanese in the International Settlement, but they
legally recognize the Chinese the latter have
rights in the restricted area, it having been turned
by China for of foreign powers, which in
cludes Japan.
Doubtless that situation has averted drawing other
countries into the present trouble in the Orient many
times in recent days True the United States well
as France has shown stern attitude toward the Jap
since they attempted to use the International
Settlement for their ends but the fact remains
that they have certain rights in the which results

Progress in Television
II =
Philadelphia Record)

Television, like time, marches on. Success of
the transmission experiments between New York and
Philadelphia, over the American Telephone 81 Tele-
graph Company's new millon-cycle coaxial cable ;"
brings nearer the day when televison will be COM
mercialy practical
Another interesting television experiment last
week was the successful receipt elevision broad
casts from London aboard the M. " Britannia dur
ing her voyage down the English Channel CAPTAIN
T. Brown, master of the vessel said the voice and
pictures Syncbronized perfectly
Importance OF the cable tests here however is
due to the great difference between the teleyision
broadcast problem in England and in America David
Sarnoff president of the Radio Corporation of Amer-
ca following his recent trip abroad made reply to the
frequent question: rs England ahead of the United
States in televison?"
Sarnoff pointed out that the British Broadcastng
Corporation has been operating televison trans
mitter with hourly programs each afternoon and
nng Tor about year. The range of this transmtter
is 25 miles, which London and the immediate
vicinity va .sAp y
Yet in spite of broadcastng of the corona ton and
other news events and the offering of teevison sets
by some Is British manufacturers at prices from 5000
to $500 EACH the public has shown SO little enthusiasm
that less than thousand sets are actually in the
hands OF the public Moreover the cost of the British
experiment is borne by the British public through the
ices paid the Government by radio listeners
In short Sarnoff found that British, reaction, to
eleVlslon has been gradual, despite the fact that
geographically its problem is simple compared with
hat imposed by the vast area to be served by tele-
vision service in the United States"
From this, the value of the Philadelphia cable
tests Is obvious. Through of cables which can
be increased in size to demands elevision trans
mission can be placed much broader basis Broad
casts covering only 25-mie area around New York
would be regarded by the general public as merely
experimental. But with cables and with the ex-
lchange agreement by which both the RIGA and
British use each others patents the day of CONNER
Ical teeVison in America may be nearer than most
lof us suspect.

wings OVER THE PACIFIC"

Recent announcement that the Navy is planning
TO make permanent year-around air base at Sitkf
coupled with its activity in the Aleutans particular!
with plans for developing the harbor at Kisks
Island gives indication that the Navy has very den
itely launched on its program for adequate defens

Commenting under the heading wings Over the
Pacific the Post-Inelligencer makes the point il
these words:
The navy departments decision to establish
around air headquarters at Sitka Alaska,
is welcome evidence of vigorously broadened
national defense policies.
Seattle has previously noted with interest
the dispatch of squadrons of naval planes from
Sand Point to Stka.
The Importance of the Washington pro-
nouncement is tWo-fod.
1t indicates that government it deter
mined to give this nation the protection it
deserves, despite objections from any other
country
1t indicates that the naval command rec
ognizes. the necessity. of giving its personnel
year-around training in North Pacific waters.
instead of combining its visits to the period of
sunny summer weather.
Japan has right to feel that our pro-
lection of our own territory is a hostile gesture.
The United States many years ago gave up
its right to fortify the Aeutians to gain Japan's
adherence to naval limitations. l.,
But the treaty covering this bargain has
expired. Japan did not want to renew it. And
no reason now exists why the United States
should not proceed to sensible protection
of its shores.
The Post-Intelgencer on numerous occa-
sions has pointed out the necessity for peace
time operations by navy ships and navy planes
in the North Pacific on year-around basis.
The fleet maneuvers in the North Pacific
now scheduled for next February, will pro-
vide training for warship personnel under
the conditions that would be most likely to
be met if hostile fleet should ever seek to
attack these shores.
The training of naval flyers at Sitka is an
important and gratifying extension of these
defense plans.
1t should be followed by provision for
permanent naval base, probably in the Aleu-
tans, and the early establishment of an army
air base in the interior of Alaska

volved in the manufacture of untax-

Five other men, indicted with DR.

were delayed pending conclusion of
the trial.
DR.. Myers and Cooper told the court
they purchased liquor, but said they
knew nothing of operations of an

over period of l8 months.
No instructions were given to him
by Cooper or any one else not to
report sugar sold to Bennett and
Hawkins, Larrick said. However, he
told the court, Bennett always paid
in cash and, since sales slips carried
only the word merchandise" the
billing clerk did not know the sugar
had been sold.
After being questioned by Govern
ment agents Larrick said he went over
the records and estimated the pur-
chases made by Bennett.

LOS ANGELES, March 19.-Heler
Wills Love, convicted slayer, back in
a troublous world of reality, pleaded
today for return to the realm of un-

Il want to go back where I was,
