Baldwin Upsets Tradition
Against Pipe at Dinners

LONDON correspondence of the As
sociated Press) Earl Baldwin is con-
Quoting a one-man campaign against
the unwritten law that a man can't
smoke his pipe at formal dinners.
Possessor Of lareg collection of pipes,
the former prime minister whipped one
out from his coattail recently and pro-
ceeded to "blackout" his astonished fel-
low guests.
Photographers took pictures of this un-
orthodox scene and now there is much
discussion among head walters and
tailors about what should be done
about it.
Head walters insist it takes an Earl
to get away with such 'impudence, but
the tailors think they will probably have
to reconstruct formal hip-pockets to
make room for pipe-s smoking parapher-

Siberian Railroad so that, when war
came, troops and supplies might be sent
east in greater volume.
At the top Of this pinnacle of defense
stood Bleucher, its chief and inspirer.
He was lauded in the press almost daily.
On his occasional official visits to Mos
COW crowds gathered whenever he ap-
peared in public. His picture often ap-
peared beside those of Stain and Voro-
shilov on the banners carried in parades
through Red Square. When, in 1885, the
Politbureau raised the rank of its five
most important military figures from
generals to marshals, naturally Bleucher
was one of them.
From such a lofty place of fame he
has toppled in few brief weeks to utter
oblivion.
Why?
Communist Russia no less than the
Russia of Dostievsky is a land of myS-
terry. Today man receives the ovations
of thousands in the Red Square. Tomor-
row he is gone Sometimes he is heard
from again. Sometimes he is not The
Russians, with an age-old fatalism,
shake their heads and are silent. The
secret police have struck again
Apparently-and only few know
Bleucher incurred the displeasure or dis
trust of Joseph Stain and his ever
dwindling group of intimates in the
Kremlin.
One report which has reached WASH
ington through channels not given to
empty gossip is that all the military
jury who tried the late Assistant Com
missar of War Tukachevsky-of whom
Bleucher was one-are to be silenced,
either by death or exile. The story is
that Tukachevsky and the seven military
leaders who died with him were never,
in fact, tried, but were condemned in
absentia by this jury, which obeyed a
direct order from the Kremlin, and that
now, Stain, fearful that the truth may
be told, has decided effectively to hush
them ALL That may or may not be true.
Hundreds Arrested.
It is we'll known, OF course, from OFF,
cial accounts in the Soviet press that
during the last year hundreds OF Red
Army officers in the Far East have been
arrested and many of them executed on
grounds of counter-revolution and es-
pionage for Japan. The confession" Of
one of these officers may have implicated
Bleucher in an alleged plot.
It is by no means certain that the
"man of mystery" has met his emu. So
Wet authorities frequently keep political
prisoners in jail for months or even
years before choosing the right psyche
logical moment to try them.
But, aside from such conjectures, the
irony OF fate has ruled that just now,
when the Far Eastern Army which
Bleucher laboriously built up is more
likely than at any previous time to be
called to its duty of defending the Soviet
fatherland, its creator and leader Is
among the missing.

While the writer was in Yenan the
Governor" came late to a dramatic
performance one night and stood for two
hours at the back of the room, unnoticed
by any of the audience.
Despite the open lives of the Com
munist leaders, Yenan is a city cloaked
in political secrecy and suspicion. For
eign newspapermen are not allowed to
enter the town without special pass
port issued by the Communist Office in
Sian, and their movements are carefully
watched. A special interpreter" follows
the correspondent wherever he goes, tax
ing notes on every person he meets and
all the questions he asks. Special per-
mission must be obtained for every pho
tograph taken.
All propaganda in Yenan emphasizes
Chinas political united front and the
war against Japan, rather than the for
mer Soviet program. Not single ham,
mer- -and-sickle flag is to be seen in any
of the government Offices, though the
pictures of Marx, Lenin and Stain are
frequent.
The atmosphere of war is heightened
by the tramp of marching farmers taking
military training. They are armed with
Chinas most ancient weapon-a wooden
spear feet long, tipped with a sharp
iron point. Despite the ludicrous ap-
pearance of this medieval weapon, 1t has
proved very effective in hand-to-hand
fighting on the Shand front.

these farmer-spearman in the vicinity
of Yenan, and the present reconstruc-

the visitor that the Communists do not
expect the Japanese to reach their
capital
Thus far, the soldiers of the Rising
Sun have not yet set foot upon any part
of the little Province of Shensi where the
Chinese Communists have made their
headquarters since 1885.
Shensi is an area the size of England,
with sparse population totaling only
100000. In 1t the Communists have
mobilized 100000 farmers in guerrilla
bands to man their border If the Jap
anese strike in their direction. One
division of the "old red army" number

reserve to defend the Communist base.

Communications Can Go
Haywire, Scare Proves

One thing demonstrated by the radio
fantasy of the attack by Mars on the
New Jersey Coast is that in times of
great excitement our communication
system can go haywire.
This aspect of the situation is no re-
Election on the telephone company, or the
radio people; 1t is perennial problem.
BY the time Orson Welles' broadcast
Of the radio play was half finished,
newspapers, radio stations, police sta
tions, Army posts and other sources of
Information were swamped by telephone
calls. The net result was that even off,
cial calls could not get through.
Police in New York City tried vainly
for some time to telephone to Columbia
Broadcasting Co., which staged the fan
tasy. The officers could not get line
that was not busy with panic calls.
Finally patrol car was sent over to the
company studio to learn what the busi-
ness was all about.
Thousands of radio listeners were be-
deviled by the fear that war, either from
Mars or from some other fearsome
enemy. was being visited upon the coun-
try. They rushed to the telephone to
get advice. Others, pursued by the hys-
terical belief that the end of the world
was at hand or that enemy planes al
reaoy were roaring over the Atlantic
seaboard, telephoned warnings of the
disaster to their friends, or passed on
hysterical imaginings TO the newspapers.
That similar situation would occur
In event OF real attack on the country
by real enemies from the air is more
than likely. Newspapers have demon
stration Of that trouble every election
night and on many nights of important
football games. Additional switchboard.

dustrial provinces of the Dominion by
protesting the lowered duties which the
treaty provides.
Feeling is particularly strong in Cana
dian industry over the cancellation on
all treaty items of the 3 per cent excise
tax previously imposed on imports from
the United States This special excise
tax was rated an important component
in the Canadian manufacturer protec-
tion
Another major grievance is the blow
which the loss of the Scent wheat pref
erence deals the ports of the maritime
provinces. Since 1882 Canadian wheat
has had to be shipped through Cana
dian port to be sure of the Scent pref
erence on its arrival in Britain. With
this motive eliminated, the belief is that
Canadian wheat will move once more
in large volume through the Atlantic
ports of the Eastern United States, which
can be reached by rail haul some hun
dreds of miles shorter.
The Federal Liberal government is as
strongly in support of the treaty, how
ever, as the Conservatives are opposed
to it. The miniStry's contention Is that
Canadian liberalism has taken leading
part in bringing about worldwide
lowering of the nationalistic barriers
that have been impeding international
trade for the past several years. And the
fact that all most favored nations-26
in the case of Canada and all important
countries save Germany and Australia
in the case of the United States-share
in the concessions arranged simply dem
onstrates. in the governments eyes, the
worldwide nature and value of the
treaties that have been concluded.
The Conservatives, the Liberals charge,
are trying to play selfish politics. in
stead of recognizing triumph in eco
nomic craftsmanship that will lead world
trade to higher level of activity and
prosperity.
Some Reaction Favorable.
Politically. the belief on Parliament
Hill in the first flush of the controversy
is that the government has the preferred
side. The reaction in the maritime
provinces, in spite of the threatened
damage to eastern ports and the reduc-
ton in the apple preference hitherto en-
joyed by the Annapolis Valley, is highly
favorable, largely on account of the con-
cessions obtained for Canadian fish, po-
tatoes, silver fox pelts and lumber-all
produce of the maritimes area. On the
prairies the enlarged cattle quota and
the lowering of tariffs against manufac-
tured imports more than counterbalA
ances the loss of the 6-cent wheat pref
erence, concerning the actual value of
which there has always been dispute
among the grain growers. In British
Columbia the numbering sections of the
treaty, as well as the fishery concessions,
are popular.
Finally in the industrial east there is
still some doubt as to the actual injury
caused the Canadian manufacturers by
the tariff cuts in the treaty. The gov
ernment is known to have consulted
most of the important interests before
it acted, and there is suspicion that
many of the reductions may be more
nominal than effective. At any rate, it
is believed in Canadian political circles
that Ontario and Quebec can be made
to suspend their opinion on the treaty
until experience demonstrates its effect

hormone which influences reproduc-
ton. The ovaries of the mouse
whose pituitary is removed are COM
pletely atrophied at SO weeks.
Stimulating Hormone
It also sends stimulating hor-
none to the thyroid gland which in
fiuences all nutrition. 1t sends little
chemical messengers to the pan
creas, the adrenals-to all the other
ductless glands. It is the real dy-
namo of the body.
Popular interest has conferred in
its influence on growth. Probably
all the circus giants and probably
all the giants who ever lived had q
disease of the pituitary gland.
The growth hormone has been iso-
lated in nearly pure chemical form.
It has been used extensively In
treatment Of dwarfism. Sometimes
spectacular results occur, as in the
case Of Eula Herbert. They are,
however, difficult to evaluate, as I
said, because one cannot be sure
that growth would not have started
anyhow, as heard the distinguished
discoverer of the growth hormone
say in conversation last winter.
But many experiments and obser-
vations are being made with pitui-
tary extract, and we may be on the
way to astonishing results.

Arabs and Jews Should
Work Together in Palestine.
TO The Editor OF The Star:

40 tiie EC4tO OF OI Inc star.
h MOVING the history of Palestine as
well as that of the Arabians, one can
not help but think how much their appar-
ent friends are misleading them. If they
compare their present standard of living
with that of their forefathers under the
Turkish regime it would no doubt open
their eyes to the fact that they have gained
more since the Jewish colonization. The
for desert and stony mountains than are
being paid here for good improved lands.
They have enjoyed and benefited by every
improvement more than the Jewish immi-
grants have.
The plight Of the Arabians under the
Turkish regime was more pitiful than any
one here could ever imagine. Had it not
been for the few Jewish inhabitants who
shared their meager income with the Arabs
they would have perished. Where would the
Arabs of today be if their Jewish neigh
bors had not contributed to the nourish-
ment Of their children?
What has become of the old Arab ethics
sincerity and other good customs? Not
even the cultured nations can claim that
they have ever practiced such true friend
ship, loyalty. gratitude and hospitality as
the old Arabs lived up to. Have those few
Arabs who went to European universities
to learn culture been able to destroy those
wonderful qualities of their ancestors as
we'll as curb the progress that has been
made in the past few years? If Palestine
is so dear to them, why do they destroy it
and hinder the prosperity of their own peo-
pie? What have the Arabs done to build up
the country they claim as their own all
the years since they acquired Palestine?
The Jews have made fertile the desert.
They have brought the Arabs prosperity
they never knew before.
Knowing what sincere and true friend
ship existed between Jews and Arabs dur
ing the trying years of the Turks, I feel
very sad to see that the Arabs lack an
unselfish leader who would expose the
intrigues of schemers and stop the un-
necessary bloodshed of his people. May
such a leader come In time to prevent
Palestine becoming another Spain or China

To the Editor of The Star:

L rather nasty trick on the writer I do
not mind the picture of my tonsils. for they
DO not quite show, and do not feel en-
tlrely naked, but I really don't like to be
charged with yelling in order to get the
floor after I was said to be denied it.
The simple truth is that I did not ask
Tor the floor at any time during the hilari-
Gus session this morning. 1 made no effort
or attempt to make speech.
I simply felt sorry for the chairman,
who was really decent fellow, and de-
served better deal than he was getting
from the speech-hungry prophets assem-
bled for solemn convention to advise the
chief star-gazer of us all The meeting
may have been packed. although I doubt
it, but the chairman was no evidence of
such packing.
What I tried to do, and succeeded, was
to get the attention of the crowd and ask
them to sit down, be quiet and give the
chairman chance No one denied me the
floor. I simply took it long enough to help
the crowd realize that they were acting like
schoolboys instead OF business men.
OF course. that may be asking for a
measure of accuracy beyond your stand
ards, or those of your reporter or desk

it really good? Why not say something
