Does Japan MASK Her Purpose?
Who Is the Enemy
China or the
White Man?
BY JOSEPH w. LaBINE

In Shanghai last July two
Japanese naval underlings were
allegedly slain by the Chinese.
In retaliation a whole fleet of
stern-nosed NipponeSe battle
ships appeared from nowhere
and began Smelling Shanghai.
That was the start of Japan's
current war of defense" in
China. If some of us scratch
our heads over the war of de-
tense" idea, it may as we'll be
explained that the Sino-Jap sit
uation is full of paradoXes and
puzzles. For example:
Japan fears foreign criticism
but invites it by Smelling Ameri-
can and British ships.
She claims to be helping
China while bombing cities,
slaughtering innocent natives
and destroying everything in
sight.
She dislikes Westerners, yet
makes a Fascist pact with
Germany and Italy.
She signed the nine-power
treaty guaranteeing China's in
tegritv, vet now invadeS that
country.
Such, perhaps, is the history of
all nations that go to war, breaking
treaties and casting aside long-es-
tablished governmental tenets. If
Japan's unusual attitude seems
more hysterical than that of the
average nation at war, it's either
because the Japs are naive or ex-
tremely clever. Probably they're
clever, so clever that Western pow
ers are just beginning to under
stand this Chinese invasion.
Japan, some observers say, is
warning not on China, but on West
ern domination in the Orient! The
"divine destiny" she pursues is a
union of all Asiatic nations under
japanese domination. The net re-
suit will be expulsion of British,
French, American and Portuguese
commercial interests.
Apologies Come Fast.
Diplomatic files of both America
and Great Britain are choked with
so-called apologies" for hostile
acts such as the Panay incident,
bombing of H. NJ S. Ladybird and
the aerial attack on Britain's am
bassador to China. But despite these
apologies the incidents continue.
And, amazingly, many recent ORR
entail attacks on Western powers
have come from the Chinese!
A Chinese pilot bombed the S. S.
President Hoover. Later Chinese
anti-aircraft shell killed sailor on
the U. S. S. Augusta In fairness
to the Chinese it should be admitted
that both these attacks may have
been accidental. But Nationals in

forced to relinquish many of these
gains, but the die had been cast.
She showed little hesitation about
breaking treaties when Manchuria
began to look tempting. Her ma
tional self-esteem has grown ire
mendously until Japan now feels a
patriotic duty in uniting the Orient
under her domination.
Thus the Occidentals have two
forces driving them out of China

tility and, second, Japan's divine

Opium Restrictions Lifted.
Occidentals were responsible for
China's opium curse, for they be-
gan smuggling it from India late in
the Eighteenth century despite gov
ornamental edicts to the contrary. In
1889 when China coniscated British
opium the English sent ships and
soldiers, destroyed half of Canton
and forced China to sign her first
humiliating treaty in 1912.
Grudgingly, she later made pacts
with other Occidental powers and
permitted establishment of the in
ternational settlement in Shanghai.
But China resented these privileges
of the white men and there was
more bloodshed in 1856, after which

Britain's glee and poor China's mis-

In 1859 British and French ships
were attacked at Taku. Within two
years the allies had taken Picking
and forced still another treaty down
China'S throat. Some time later
came establishment of the Euro

service at Shanghai. Western con-
quest of China was growing rapidly.
Shanghai and other cities became
Occidental, featured by skyscrap-
erS, European dress and the white
mans customs. China, proud of
her ancient culture, kept the resent
ment of this intrusion ranking in
her breast. The American Indian
probably felt the same way, and
both have been justified.

she seized German possessions in

Biography, amateurs occasionally
made lenses of ice, purely as
stunt, and performed curious ex-
periments with them.
A French amateur in the winter
of 1888 made a lens of ice and
with it lit the pipes of some of
the skaters at one of the Alpine
resorts.
At that he was not doing any
thing original but merely trying
to check up on experiments pre-
viously performed in the Arctic
by DR.. A. Scoresby, according to
Scientific Americans column,
Fifty Years Ago" Scoresby used
his lenses as burning glasses to

ors. They could not understand
why the ice did not freeze the
beams of the sun instead of start
ing a smoldering fire.

seige were in more danger of harm
from enraged Chinese troops than
from the attacking Japs.
Japan's habit of attaching an
apology to the tail of every bomb
she drops on Westerners in China
is, to say the least, beginning to
reek of insincerity. The Panay at
tax and several others have been
established as deliberate. We can
take little solace from the fact that
japanese civilians are opposed to
such tactics, because only the army
and navy count in Nippon. The en-
peror, the premier and the people
are puppets.
Occidentals have never been pop
ular in the Orient. Three centuries
ago they invaded China like they in
vaded America 200 years earlier,
selfish in their interests, despised
and suspected. They were tribute
bearers, later to become tribute TAX
ers. Canton was designated by the
emperor as their sole trading and
residence area, and only few Chi

have dealings with them. But Brit

simply mixing clay and water, re-

sun to dry. But they couldn't cook
in it; it broke when heated. South
western Indians used colored clay

bring rain and good crops. The

NEAR MISS DENE: 1 have been
~ going with boy for a year now
and while he says he likes me, he
has never shown any signs of love.
1 however have fallen very much in
love and want to do anything l
can to win him. You have helped
others-wil you help me?-Bcbbie.
ANSWER-I'm afraid 1 can't work
any magic, Bobbie, which will make
your lukewarm sutton helpless VIC
tim of love. And unfortunately there
are no active steps you can take,
without upsetting the romance en-
tirely.
1t is certainly tough to be a mere
woman under circumstances of this
sort, since it has always been wom-
ans lot to wait patiently and meek
ly until some great brute has made
up his mind that she will do. No
use kicking against the facts. Bet
ter to face them.
However, woman is a more COM
pick creature than man and for
that reason the tricks she plays on
him are apt to work. Whereas few
men are quick and clever enough to
fool any woman with their artful
lodges.
Therefore, Bobbie, you might giue your
hero something to think about by inUent
ing another beau. Stop being the steady,
steady girl friend and begin to show signs
OF being elusive. Don't be so almighty
easy to date. Talk pagueIy about other
plans. Keep memo book around in
which to jot dotUn dates-instead Of being
eagerly ready to say 'yes," whcneuer
your true lore suggests an evening.
It's just possible that this years
friendship has been too easy and
matter-of-fact to strike romantic
note with the man in the case.
Throw little glamor around your
self and build up few illusions to
convince the boy friend that his
dear old pal is after all an ex-
tremely attractive and rather mys-
ferrous feminine being.
A very little iudicious feminine
deception can work wonders with
the tempo of a mans heartbeat.
