State-does not come up again
until the presidential year Of
1910, when there is no doubt
he will be a candidate for the
highest office in the land.
The conservative tack he is
now taking indicates clearly
that he believes the G. o. P. will
in 1910 be the party Of con-
servatism, abandoning the I'M
convincing technique Of the
Landon campaign where they
carried water-of a slightly New
Deal flavor-on both shoulders.
If the Vandenberg bunch is
correct there will be a real mar

THE Grand Rapids publisher
has unquestioned convictions
about his labor position - his
original vote against the Wagner
act proves that. He contends,
naturally, that he is a real
friend Of labor; that he has
pointed out the right path for
labor to follow, and that labor
will one day find it out.

the stand he does. Few Sen:

can be devised to salvage the
speeches of the Senators, pre-

debate, which are lying idle in
Senatorial offices. Reams and
reams of words which will

part of the Senators and their

From one source it was sug-

given leave to send their
speeches to the Government

be gathered together in a little
pamphlet for distribution back

once upon time, the most important happenings
" of the last two days could have been reported
very simply and concsely thus: Japan has declared
war on China; China has declared war JAPAN
Nowadays, because of the Kellogg Peace Pact and
the American neutrality law, it takes more words:

cared today all efforts to maintain with Japan had been
exhausted, and 1--WE accept the issue of battle"
Tokyo-Rng dramatically from his seat Premier Prince Fum
Konoy interrupted Parliament with dec
that the had been forced to make
up its mind to resort to arms to punish China
But the copous words required nowadays come to the
same thing. japanese machine guns have annhilated
one Chinese regiment of "long swords at Tungchow,
near Peiping. North China, judging from the news
dispatches, is vast ferment of ragged and ill
equipped armies preparing to hurl themselves the

Machines worked out from various events in other
parts of the world in the last couple of
years. Mussolini's mechanical Iegions heavily out
numbered numerically tore into the Ethiopian savages
and grabbed their country. Insurgent General Franco
in Spain with more and better mechanical equipment
than the Loyast government could muster up has been
able for year to minimize the Loyalists' advantages
in numbers and popular support.

SYMPATHY FOR CHINA

understandable; though remembering 191718 we hope
this sympathy remains strictly passive.
Which leads to some reflections neutrality

It's lesson in the futty of trying to outguess the

law, since an arms embargo against both China and
Japan would not hurt Japan but would hurt China.
