One of the tough things about our
modern world is the fact that IL
is getting hard to tell good news
from bad.
The u. S. Weather Bureau, for
instance, reports the long period
of drouth seems to be over-for the
time being, anyway-and that for
several years to come we ought to
have plenty of moisture.
The weather seems to run in long
range cycles. There was bad
drouth period extending through
the first half of the SOS. After that
the country as a whole had decent
weather until 1909, when there was
another drouth. Then there WAS an
othe good spell until about 1880;
then six abnormally dry years-We
began to hear about a dust bowl,
and people started wondering II

all, and not permanent change

ANYBODY'S WAR NOW
EVERYBODY'S CONCERN
lChristian Science Monitorl

(Christian Science Monitor)
Repercussons of the Soviet-Japanese
clash on the -Manchukuan bor-
der, though quietly worded are loud with
warning that anybody's war is every
body's concern. The calmness of Off
cial circles in London reflects not
supposition that war between Russia
and Japan could easily be localized but
simply a well-founded assumption that
such war will not take place. Berlin
dispatches indicate similar attitude
in German diplomatic quarters. Even
Moscow and Tokyo, exchanging protests
and warnings, appear to be preparing
for a settlement through word rather
than deed
1t is the confidence that war will not
develop as the result of current border
clashes around Changkufeng that is re-
sponsible for the calmneSs of chancel-
lerieS This general opinion is based
chiefly on strategic considerations-the
unlikelihood of Japan's avoiding an in
itial setback and the probability that
other countries collaborating on the
anti-Communist front would find it in
advisable if not impossible to give Japan
effective aid at this time.
But these are not the sort of consider
ations on which the peoples can long
afford to let their peace depend. And
as they recognize the threat which any
war holds for their peace they will press
their governments to mold foreign poll
cies on a respect for law and joint re-
sponsibility for world order.
Evidently it was not the League of
Nations idea which was responsible, as
some argued, for anybody's war becom-
ing everybody's war. A system of quasi
alliances built ON anti-League preju-
dices has resulted in the same situation.
Anybody's war may still be everybody's
war, if it starts. 1t won't start, when
people are intelligently convinced of
this fact.

WHERE BRIDGES GOES,
TROUBLE GOES

The average American, whether he
wears a longShOreman' sweat stained
cap or a bankers top hat, is pretty much
like his fellows down under the surface,
and one thing he doesn't like is profess
sional trouble maker whose living comes
from the trouble he stirs up. He doesn't
like the chap who tries to keep war 60
ing so he can sell more munitions; ne
doesn't like the politician who breeds
trouble to keep himself in office; and he
doesn't like the labor agitator whose
wages are paid out of class hatred.
All of these things the average Amer
lean endures for a while, but 1t is a
part of his nature that, sooner or later,
he rebels. Then God pity the object OF
his rebellion.
Harry Bridges may not be a profess
sional trouble maker. He may be, IN
fact, the friend he claims to be of all
working men, His ideals may be of purest
ray serene.
But wherever Harry Bridges has gone,
trouble has followed.
This fact alone seems to put the bur-
den of proof on Bridges, if he is to be
regarded as bameless innocent who
has been the victim of an unlucky star.
AS far as several thousand CIO labor
union members in Los Angeles are con-
CeTDeu, bTlupSS mas arrived dI IHe place
where he will have to offer his proof,
or stand convicted by the damning evid-
ence that has followed him throughout
the turbulent history of his connection
with the CIO.
The revolt OF four union locals at Los
Angeles against Bridges may be sign
that labor itself is getting tired of trou-
Bile; that labor wants to try peaceful
settlement of its troubles rather than
coercion and force. There are undoubt-
edly thousands Of individuals among
CIO union members who secretly dis
approve of Bridges and his tactics. Here
tofore they have been afraid to voice
their sentiments, for Bridges and his
henchmen have not been over lenient in
reprisals for what they considered deser-
ton 1t may be different, now that one
courageous group has shown the way.
Trouble making breeds trouble in the
end for the man who makes trouble in
the first place. Professional labor or
ganizers, who make more per week than
most Of the men they call capitalists,
might do we'll to remember this.

EQUALIZATION TIME
IS HERE AGAIN

Once a year in the undertaking rou-
tine of official life there comes time
when city councils, boards of supervi-
sors and like municipal agencies sit as
boards of equalization to even out the
rough spots in property assessments,
to lower valuations if they are too high
or to raise valuations if they are too low.
Any taxpayer with complaint is given
his opportunity to go before the board
and tell Of his troubles. 1t is time when
the city, county or state pauses to take
stock of itself, to determine if it has
placed the proper value on its various
parts, to-in fact-equalize values.
How much happier life might be if
we, as individuals, did the same thing
at least once year What lopsided
values we might find.
The year might be made a happier
time if, just once during its course, we
stopped to consider if we place too much
value on our job and too little on our
home, or if we neglect our job for our
pleasure, undertaking the job. Perhaps
we would find our petty little worries
marked far too large on our mental
budget, or our temper valued out of
proportion to the rest of our lives.
Only by trying can we find what our
own personal board of equalization will
show.

world-famous. 1t was featured on
his billboards, a high-spot in the
show. He bought another bareback
riding act from Europe, and felt
pretty fine over having done a
good days work.
The European act arrived. Mr..
North got ready to open his circus
at Madison Square Garden in New
York, his most spectacular spot.
Everything must 90 off we'll!
In a circus, the act that plays
in the middle ring gets the great
est applause; it is the priced loca-
ton. So Mr.. North decided he
would put his European act in the
center ring.
Fireworks! He had forgotten
about his old American act. The
head of the act came to him:
I'VE are the center ring. No
upstarts from Europe can come
in here and push us to a side ring.
Neverl"
This man was not only of value
to Mr.. North, but he was a man
he liked personally. The last thing
in the world he wanted to do was
to hurt him.
Then the head of the European
act said, "You have promised us
the center ring. Well not go in
unless we get the center ring"
Mr.. North decided to use diplo-
macy, so he went to the head of
the American act and said, NAT
urally you are the star. You are
so important to my organization
that 1 can't put on a riding act
without you"
The man was touched by this
recognition.
Nov" continued Mr.. North, Il
would like TO get you to help me.
We want to make this new act
a success. 1t will support you, SO
let's start them off in the center
for one performance, then put them
in the side ring. That1l be a good
starter. Next well rotate the two
acts. You take the center for one
performance, and he'll take it the
next"
The man was satisfied. He would
show this new European act how
generous he could be.
The European act also was
pleased.
The principals of the two acts
became friends, they liked each
other. One day the head of the
European act was rushed to the
hospital - appendicitis. His act
could not 60 on. The head of the
American act took his place and
helped put over the act.

THE CH4CO PEACE
(The Riverside Press)

The peace pact signed by Bolivia and
Paraguay ends the long and bloody con-
flict over possession of the Chaco and
represents a triumph of international
arbitration and negotiation. The repre-
sentatives of the six neutral, mediating
governments, including the United States
worked hard at it for long time and
in the face of much Encouragement.
By the terms of the treaty Paraguay
remains in possession of most of the
Chaco territory, but Bolivia obtains an
outlet to the Atlantic through free
port at Puerto Casado There are other
details to be settled. One concerns de-
filming the new frontier. Another is the
operation of the free port zone which
must be determined in treaties of COM
merce and navigation.
An interesting feature of the stu
alton is the fact that Bolivia, although
not satisfied agrees to peaceful negota-
ton. Dispatches from La Paz state that
the Bolivian government signed the
treaty as "a sacrifice in the name of
inter-American peace" and because it
believes that the treaty is "a corner
stone on which a lasting peace can
eventually be constructed"
No more could be asked of any govern
ment or people. A similar attitude on
the part of other disputing groups would
end the horror of war that hangs over the
world and would give humanity a chance
to resume development of a higher civili-
Zation.

News Behind
the News
Navy goes ahunting .
For all lost planes
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON that regl-
larly scheduled mail flights across
the Atlantic are imminent, and
Douglas Corrigan'S exploit has
shown that even ill-equipped anna
teurs may be hopping off at any
time, with or without official sane
ton, does that convert the navy
into big search h-and-succor organl-
zatiOn supported by the taxpayers?
Phrased that way, such. a ques-
tion brings a sonrt, mingled with
profane expletives, from the admir-
ais. The question arose as all posi-
BILE Pacific naval resources were
brought to bear on the search for
the missing Hawaii Clipper with
Is men aboard.
In the first place, says the navy,
it's fundamental that all sea-going
vessels help those in distress at sea.
1t never has occurred to navy men
that this want as applicable to air.
craft as seagoing ships.
In the second place, American
commercial craft flying over The
ocean are under the American flag,
and it's part of our naval policy to
promote and preserve American
commercial aviation in the same
way the navy has tried to help
build up the American merchant
marine.
Thirdly, the navy is on close,
friendly terms with Pan-American
AirWays and will be with any other
trans-oceanic aviation concern, be-
cause this type of aviation is con-
sidered a valuable auxiliary in case
of war.
Rough estimates, officially made,
are that the search for the Clipper
has cost from $500 to $4,000 a day.
The bulk of this sum is for oil burn
ed by ships engaged in the search
The men on the ships are paid any
way. The ships themselves would BE-
either active or inactive and this
type of activity is considered valua-
BILE training experience for all
hands.
The search for Amelia Earharc in
the Pacific stands to date as the
navy's most ambitious and eXpen-
sive effort of this sort. The total
expenditure has never been figured
out and the Bureau of Operations
won't even guess at it, as no track
was kept at the time. But at one
period the Earhart search was cost
ing at least $4,000 day largely be-
cause of the huge amout of oil con-
sumed by the aircraft carrier Lex
ington and the gasoline used by her
planes.
Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, COM
mander- in chief of the Asiatic fleet
acted automatically and without
instruction when he ordered Rear
Admiral George J. Meyers at Manila
to take all possible steps to find
the missing clipper. His superiors
in Washington knew exactly what
he would do under the Circumstance
es. If such a mishap had occurred
in the Atlantic, Admiral Leahy,
chief of operations, would similarly
have instructed commanding off,
GERS at New York, Boston, Phila-
delpria or Norfolk to throw in all
of their facilities.
