and thus gained . personal follow- ing, much Jf which Is still loyal to him. When pr. Sun died in 1925, his regime would have fallen apart except that Chiang promptly set up the Kuomintang revolutionary gov. crnment with Russian help. For years prior to the formation of the present Nanking government, Chi. ang was regarded as practically 6 Communist. But he broke with most of his Russian and Chinese Commit hist associates and conducted long and bitter war against them.
 Builds United Defense
 During the earlier Japanese inc vasions of Manchuria, Chiang re. mained aloof, continuing to foster his Chinese Natlonalisni doctrines which are new beginning to bear fruit in increasing, demands for c united resistance to Japan. Some sort of e deal with the Chinese Com. inunists for united action against Japan seems to have been reached.
 Chlang has never been in the western world, speaks almost no English. His wife, Mei.Ling Soong, Wellesley graduate whom he mar ried in 1927, serves as his Ink to western culture. Daughter of one of Chlna's ablest and most dstin- eulsfed families, Miss Soong con. verted Chang to Christianity and has been of the greatest service in his development. Though now re- garded as very wealthy, Chiang puts on none of the front" assumed by many Chinese military leaders, He talks little, Is restless and keen, ruthless when necessary and when he has the power, yet diplomat enough to have stayed longer at the top of the confused Chinese situa. ton than any other modern leader.

SUCH IS STRIFE
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

The Greens aren't speaking to the Joneses
 They fell out over a bridge game, The wives went at 1t hot and heavy,
 Neither one would take the blame .. It all came about over few casual words
 Mrs. G. said you made an nsumcient pid, Mrs. J. said, all of a dither,
 Sorry my dear, never did" At first the two were most polite,
 Each contradcted, oh so sweetI But neither Mrs. J. nor C.
 Would acknowledge defeat. Dinally when 1t came to draw,
 The men folks Into the affair were dragged, Mrs Green wanted Mister to back her up,
 Then the whole thing would be bagged But the Jones family got clannish too
 It was touch and go at the draw, Till finally the game was called of,
 As neat a battle as you ever saw The Greens aren't speaking to the JoneseS,
 They fell completely out; friendly little bridge game
 Was what it was all about

Washington, Aug l2,-The Sugar Trust" lobbyists cry out that the president and his cabinet members seek to dictate to congress. Admin istra ton experts cry back that the sugar lobby Is dictating to congress and controls more members than the administration.
 The one sure thing about this sugar battles outcome, whether P. D. R. takes another licking or not, in that the consumer will con- tinue to pay through the nose, as usual. The consumer is the house. wife who buys sugar at so much & pound. Usually she doesn't know that she and commercial users paid s3bo,o00,000 or moro last year to protect an industry officially said to be worth $700,' 00o, 900.
 Consumers are soaked on the outside by tariffs and on the In. side by quota restrictions. The world price for raw sugar last year was about SEQ . ton, but the duty y-paId price at New York for raw Cuban sugar was about S72 . ton. It Is estimated that the aver age family pay Si2.76 year for the domestic industry's protection and many are impressed by the fact that the total 50 paid-S36O,. 900, 'O00-would buy up the pro- tected industry's total investment within two years.
 So far only one man in congress has appeared with plan designed to save the consumer that $360,' 100000 a year and, at least as ht figures it. not actually hurt any body. More of him later. He'i licked. The consumer has nt lobby.

Roosevelt Promises Veto

The fight has been over the ques- ton whether imports of refined sugar from Puerto Rico and Hawaii shall be kept down and the Cuban quota shall be reduced, both aS to refined and raw. ReanerS, backed by beet and some cane sugar pro- ducers, demand these restrictions and their lobbyists have damned them through the house. Roosevelt, backed by five cabinet secretaries, holding that Hawai- and Puerto Rico arc parts Of the United States and taking the position that Cuba Is part of our economic political Sys- tenn and must be kept from chaos, promises 10 veto any bill contain. ing such provisions.
 Eastern sugar rehners, to whom Congressman Hope refers as "a sugar trust organized in 1887 and in continual conflict with tho courts ever since" and whose Sugar Institute was held by the supreme court to be engaged In monopolistic practices on 70 sep. arate counts. would be chief bcne. hciarics of the house bill. They have provided the backbone Of the biggest sugar lobby operating here.

been given certain piece of tapes

cludes with a very fitting poem by
an unknown author:
"My Life is but a weaving
Between my Lord and me;
He chooses all the colors
And works on steadily.
Outlines He weaveth sorrow,
And I, in blinded pride,
Forget He sees the upper,
And I, the under side.
Not till the loom is silent,
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God unroll the fabric,
And show the unknown why.
The dark threads are as needful
In the weaver's skillful hand,
AS the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
