SENATOR DIXIE BIBB GRAVES

we thought that it pretty rank nepotism when
her husband, Governor Bibb Graves of Alabama, ap-
pointed her to Hugo L. Blacks Senatorship when
Black was exalted to the Supreme Court.
It turns out now, though, that Graves threw the job
to his wife as an honor to be retained only until a
special primary could be held to pick Blacks sue
cessor.
The primary was held last week, and it was fought
out important ssue the wages and hours bill
opposed by many Southern Representatives and Sen
ators Representative Lister Hill ran against ex-Sen-
ator Thomas Heflin, Hill being for the wages-hours
bill and Heflin against it, Hill beat Heflin by almost
to l. Mrs. Graves has resigned from the Senate.
What signifies is that this expression of opinion
from the Alabama grassroots is expected to change
lot Of Southern lawmakers feelings toward the wages
w. TL:1 TLt hours bill, and to bring about
- nal. D. passage of the bill. We think
~ O"S' ~ it ought to pass-though that
it ought to be administered by board empowered
to adjust wage-hour limits to differing conditions
around the country, rather than be enacted as an in
flexible law that only Congress could modify As for
the Southern argument that minimum wage of SIG
a week will make lot of Negroes uppsh that seems
foolish The Negroes will spend the money mainly in
stores and owned by white people, who are always
glad to get their money when they have it.

N Street Traffic
I believe it is high time that
the citizens start looking into
the District affairs and demand
a little efficiency. I note that
the District is expecting to spend
about two million dollars to re-
lieve the traffic on M Street, in
Georgetown. District Of Colum-
bia citizens, do you realize that
parking is allowed at the curb
on both sides Of M Street at all
hours, day or night, and this, Of
course, includes the heavy rush
hours?
If the high and mighty Dis
trict officials would treat their
wonderful merchants on M
Street in Georgetown by elimt-
mating parking at all times on
M Street, as they have in many
other sections Of the city, M
Street could carry two more lines
of traffic easily. And if the po-
lice would allow the two lights
on M Street coordination during
rush hours, those intersections
would never become jammed.
How about moving the street car
stop at Thirty-fourth and M
Streets from the west side Of
Thirty-fourth Street to the east
side, relieving congestion at
that intersection?
Soon there will be a wonderful
new highway in Arlington
county, with a new approach to
the Lincoln Memorial Bridge,
called the new Lee Highway,
which will relieve considerable
traffic. M Street traffic today
is less than it was two or three
years ago, because much Of the
traffic now is diverted to the
Lincoln Memorial Bridge.
Please stop this foolish waste
Of money. A, E. BENDER.

grip Of their militarists, are forced to
make huge sacrifices in order to satisfy
their tyrants' vanity and greed.
The past year of Chinese-Japanese
hostilities has brought out two facts
which must now be clear to the world.
On the one hand it has removed the
myth of the invincibility of the Jap
anese army, on the other it has DEM
onstrated China's hitherto unknown
power of resistance. Having embarked
upon war of attrition against the
japanese invaders, China is determined
to fight to the bitter end. As the
war goes on, China's fighting men
have gained experience and strength,
while the nation has become more
solidly united and more self-confident
than ever. When the history of this
undeclared war is written it will tell
of the heroism and bravery of China's
patriotic sons and daughters as much
as it will bemoan the untold sufferings
inflicted upon her innocent masses

BY DIR. II. h. hUNU.
HANKOW, July (P).-It has been
4 year since Japan forced upon China
the present undeclared war. The Chi
nese people are by nature and philoso-
ply peace loving Our sages taught us
to hate war and to promote world
brotherhood.
We have been anxious to be left
alone to work out our internal devel-
opment, for the benefit both of our
people and of the world. Unfortunate
<iy, the repeated armed aggressions OF
sJapan's militarists have left us no
schoice but to take up arms in self
sdefense.
{, In 1881, when Japan invaded
sChina's northeastern provinces MAN
schuria), the world was cheated and
sbluffed by Japan's clever propaganda.
The endless troubles that since have
followed have taught the world a les
son that is indeed costly.
Hegemony Japan's Dream.
Encouraged by the worlds inaction
toward their Manchurian invasion and
driven by their unbounded lust for
power and supremacy, Japan's mill
tarists are now taking advantage Of
the Western powers preoccupation
with their problems at home and
ruthlessly seeking to conquer China
as a step toward realizing their frantic
dream of establishing hegemony IN the
Pacific and eventual domination over
the world.
Today the victims of Japan's aggres-
sion are the Chinese people. tomorrow
they will be other peoples If her mania
for war and conquest is not checked
In time. Furthermore, in prosecuting
their present aggression, Japan's
army has perpetrated on the Chinese
soil horrible acts of cruelty, indecency
and vandalism that are unbelievable
in the modern civilized world. If such
lawlessness and barbarism are allowed
to go unchallenged, no nation, how
ever remote from the scene Of the
present upheaval, can escape their
baneful effects and the future of man
kind may be doomed.
It is, therefore, to the vital interests
of peace-loving nations Of the world
themselves that they should fully real
lie the real and far-reaching dangers
OF Japans militarism and take con-
crete concerted action to combat the
common menace before it is too late.
China Takes Courageous Stand.
In thus vigorously resisting her in
vader, China is taking courageous
stand against the onward march of
brutal militarism and international
brigandage. She is fighting not only
for her own national independence,
but also for the safety of democracy
and civilization and the maintenance
of a peaceful world order based on
common respect for law and morality.
In very real sense, China is fighting
also for the oppressed masses Of the
Japanese people, who, being in the
