Here was one man, she thought who during
four days had made not the slightest effort
to meet her. She glanced at him curiously.
| He was the sort who could assume negligent
pose without slouching. But she sensed some
thing deeper than a pose, as though strength,
wearing mantle of patience, dwelt behind
the veil of his Incidence.
Have you been in America long?" she
asked.
Two weeks"

it in the bud. you mustn't expect Klas to

London is his bowl. What you're looking at is
his astral body, wrapped in wonder as to how
it came to flop over to New York."
Audrey glanced at Won Marbeck again.
Now she perceived his pallor was not pallor
but the family tinged skin of healthy man
who avoided the sun. His hair had a stiffish
look as if it had had to be conquered into its
present orderliness Not once had his brown
eyes looked at her but that did not mean they
looked at nothing; they were intent, disturb
ingly alive.
Puzzled, she rose and left with mere nod
of farewell. but walking briskly on the hurri
cane deck she found it took more than
whipping breeze to Danish Won Marbeck from
mind. She caught herself comparing his face
with Curtis Randolph's familiar features.
Then the corners of her mouth lifted abruptly.
In looks, department and breeding could any
body surpass Won Marbeck as lure to bring
Curtis to heel?
She made her calculations. Since she was
sure to run across Baron Won Marbeck in
London, all she had to do was to sit back and
put her trust in the power of a lodestone that
had never failed. 1t was destined to work
quicker than she anticipated, for the very next
evening she became aware of Won Marbeck's
elbows planted on the rail close beside her.

stated with the impersonality of an artist

repay him. Not for what he had said, but for
the insolence with which he had turned his
back on her.
Her thoughts switched to Curtis as naturally
as storm-driven bird alighting on rock.
But as it happened Curtis mind had been
swept clear of Audrey for the time being. He
had arrived at the Chancellery of the Ameri-
can Embassy in London to find his basket of
incoming mail full to overfowing - circulars,
instructions, all the uninteresting roughage
clever secretary refrains from forwarding -
but that was not what absorbed his atten-
ton. A letter, at that moment reposing in the
ianermost recess of his wallet, and dated from
New York the day after he had sailed, had
changed his outlook on the London to which
he had returned. 1t must have come on the
same boat as Audrey, he reflected.
He dragged the mail basket toward him and
started to go through it, bills on one side.

THE MEMORIAL TO JEFFERSON

The memorial to Thomas jefferson,
now in course of construction at Washing
ton, may serve to remind the people of
this country of a really great American.
The manner of this man is clearly
seen in the directions left behind him, on
the back of an old letter, for a monument
to mark simple grave. "a plain die or
cube of f." he wrote, without any
mouldings, surmounted by an obelisk of 6
f. height, each of single stone" And

that Here was buried Thomas jefferson
author of the Declaration of American In
dependence, of the Statute of Virginia
for Religious Freedom and father of the
University of Virginia.
1t is interesting to observe that
of the fact that he had been twice honored
by his countrymen in being selected Presi-
dent of the United States. The things that
he preferred to be remembered for were
his devotion of the cause of human free
dom, including freedom of worship to his
cOuntrymen and freedom of the mind in
the pursuit of knowledge.

more about the life and thoughts of this

New Deal politicians should remain in
a happy frame of mind. When they are
defeated at the polls, President Roosevelt
makes room for them in government posi-
tions at fat salaries. Senator Fred Brown
of New Hampshire. a White House
favorite, defeated in the November cleo
tion, has been offered the job of comp
troller-general, which pays $4,000 over a
l5-year term. 1t seems if the electorate
repudiates a candidate for office that
should be taken into consideration by the
government. If an officeholder has not
given the people a satisfactory account of
his stewardship, his elevation to a lucrative
governmental position appears like a re-
prisal for defeating a man the Administra-
ton desired TO retain for its own ends-a
thwarting of the will of the people.

AT the same time, there is also a

issue involved in our giving sup

lean business. At the beginning
of the undeclared Sino-Japanese
war, the representatives of the
aggressive little Eastern empire
were extremely vocal in assuring
interested foreign powers that,
whatever came to pass, the tradi-
tional open door" theory of
China trade would be maintain
ed. Since then, much has hap
pened-nctably the creation of
the Rome-Berlin- Tokyo axis,
which makes Japan an ally of
Germany and Italy, both in COM
merce and in potential war. And
Japan has gradually changed her
tune in talking to us, the French
and the British. In Japanese

cial centers, u. S., French and

politely but ruthlessly squeezed
out. And a few months ago came
an official Nipponese announce
! ment which, though it was franz
ed in the careful diplomatic Ian
guage in which the Japanese
statesmen excel, made it perfect
ly clear that the open door"
policy was to be much modified
even to the extent that the Chi
nese trade of other powers would
be stopped, or subjected to ruin
Gus economic burdens, if the gov
eminent of the Son. of Heaven
so desires.
China Must Be Aided
Thus a Japanese victory in
China would mean, in all prob
ability, the loss of hundreds of
millions of dollars in trade to
American industry-and, at the
same time. would immensely in4
crease the economic resources of
an empire which our military
leaders view as potential enc
my in a Pacific war. The Chi
nese armies have been steadily
losing, due in large part to lack
of money and supplies, and it
seems inevitable that an ultimate
japanese victory is a certainty
unless Chang Kai-Shek is given
what he needs. The Treasury
credit is apparently designed to
help him solve that vital prob
lem. The new international tech
nique is to fight wars with the
weapon of trade, before resorting
to the weapons of physical vio-
lence. And it seems that the re-
lentless press of events has at
last forced US to adopt that course
of action, if only to limited ex-
tent, as yet.

In the Far East there is an

her course in China, with parti-
cular reference to rigts and obli-

try. Having refused recognition
of Manchukuo the United States
does not now recognize present
japanese conquests in China
proper. Japan has finally adj
mitted that the new situation"
created by her advancing armies
has altered the "open door status.
Recent loans and credits to the
Chinese by this country have
aroused feeling in Japan, where
responsible officials call them

this situation will lead is uncer-
tain but it is worth noting that
