C0RRICAN SCARES
 ALL HIS PEOPLE
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D them. Broken hearted, he promised never again to play tag with tele- phone poles. His teachers eventually allowed him to finish his flying course.
 Refused College
 He finished high school, but he wouldn't go to college. He didn't have time. He wanted to be an avia- tor. Studying Greek would be no help, he decided. Doug studied weld- ing instead, and got himself a job in the Ryan plane factory.
 By 1927 he was doing well; he was 20 years old and earning more money than many men twice his age. His father had died few months earlier and he now was welding struts on a shiny monoplane which the factory gossip said some fool aviator intend ed to fly across the Atlantic. The aviator was Col. Charles A. Lind bergh.
 Doug met him during tests at the factory and when Lindbergh's flight had become one of the bright pages in aviation history, the strut welder became quieter youth. Lindbergh was Doug's idol He tried to emulate him in every way.
 Plane Before Girls
 His one great want was an air plane. He forgot girls and parties and fancy clothes. He sold his road stcr, gave up, ice cream, cut down on cigarets and saved every possible cent.
 He worked in airplane factories here and in San Diego and Ingle- wood for two years. He moved into the home of his uncle and aunt, the Rev. s. Fraser Langford and his wife, and he had to pay them board. Dr. Langford's pastorate at Santa Monica provided few luxuries as it was.
 In 1929, by dint of becoming the skinflint of his family, Doug had $900 in his savings account. He spent every cent of it buying second hand Curtis Robin monoplane. He bought it largely because it looked something like Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis.
 But Doug's plane was no transat- lantic carrier. It had been in a se- rious wreck and it was bent and bumped and bedraggled. Its engine was an old fashioned water cooled one. All its controls were antiquated When Doug flew 1t precariously to the San Diego landing field, his pals took one look and christened it "the Heap"
 For years Doug worked in airplane factories by day and in one field or another at night-tinkering with "the heap" by lantern light. He never could afford to keep it in hangar and month by month it be- came rustierl looking and dirtier. But 1t was think of beauty to Doug. Eventually he even bought new motor. Wright Whirlwind of the type which carried Lindbergh to Paris. Mechanically the ship became perfect under his skilled fingers.
 Doug couldn't wait much longer for action. By last year he had spent all his spare time for eight years, with never movie or ball game to break the monotony, working to get his plane in shape.
 He told his uncle he had decided

American and other foreign merchants and business
men have been frozen out of Manchoukuo Protests
about that brought no result
The latest protest mentions what has happened
in Manchoukuo and cautions Japan against letting
happen in the rest of China. But the odds are we
get from more than authentic source, that the
results will be better far American trade
is concerned.
Japan is next door to China and is determined
to dominate it a trade zone. 1t has spent some
two billion dollars in the IS months conquest
SO far reports from the front" indicate, the net
returns have been comparatively small because bust
ness does not thrive under the bayonet. But the
methods Japan has adopted in the conquered terri
tory cannot fail to destroy competition and leave
virtually all export and import business in the hands
of japanese
In his message to the Japan foreign minister
Ambassador Grew mentioned several devices For
eign merchant ships barred from operation the
lower Yangtze because of the emergency japanese
ships continue hauling goods up and down the river
But they refuse to haul American other foreign
goods.
Ambassador Grew does not mention it, but reports
had reached here earlier that American and other
foreign goods left standing the railroad plat
form while Japanese goods were routed ahead. That
has worked well that interior merchants, unable
to be they will get American goods. now save
themselves disappointment and delay by ordering
Japanese goods 1t does not take much Of that to
ruin foreign shippers.
The same processes will operate effectively in
the rest of China recently brought under Japa
sway. If Japan had other explanation ready,
it could insist for several years that emergency con-
ditions continue to exist BY that time other foreign
business men in China would be ruined and the COM
petition gone
Japan has set up its export banks in the
conquered territory American and other exporters
have to allow these banks such wide discounts that
they cannot make their trade profitable.
The Japanese operators are allowed to pay smaller
discounts and get the business. That sort of thing,
Mr. Grew reports already is going on.
Speaking for the United States government, AM
bassador Grew has demanded that the open Door
OF equal opportunity in China be preserved If Japan
refuses will the United States go to war about it?
VIII retaliate by putting up barriers against ship
ment of Japanese goods to this country?
The immediate answer to those questions are
already written. What may happen in two years,
five ten years, is yet to be written.
