A CHINESE woMAN's VOICE

Mme Chang Kai-shek, wife of the
Chinese leader, in a recent article, declar-
ed that the barbarities of Gengkis Kahn
have been outstripped by the efforts of the
Japanese in their invasion of her country.
She is moved to wonder ''if there is not i'm
the world some courageous international
body of people who would in the interest
of humanity, dare the ire of the Japanese
and insist upon being present in China dur
ing this undeclared war, freely to investi-
gategate and observe without trammel the
processes adopted blythe Japanese both in
warfare and in the treatment of survivors
in occupied regions
Referring to China's struggle against
Japanese domination, the wife of the
Chinese generalissimo says: eve can do
no more to defend our country than we
are doing. We are fighting as well as we
know how, with inadequate equipment.
But we will not give up All | hope is that
we will be able to get the necessities for
our armies until peace comes. If we cam
not get those necessities, it will be because
the democracies decline to help as get
them.''
These statements carry a challenge
to the civilized people of the world and
particularly to those who espouse the
cause of democracy. Certainly, the Chinese
people have gained the admiration of the
world through their stubborn defense of
their country in the face of great odds. No
one can accuse them Of losing the fight be-
cause of an unwillingness to face danger,
to suffer privations and to face a future
which is black indeed.
Meanwhile modern civilization, repre-
sented by the democracies, appears to sit
unconcerned on the sidelines while agrees
sion and greed, represented by Japan,
strangles an unprotected nation and pre-
pares to take advantage of conditions to
aggrandize herself

TEACH THEM HOW TO TALK

1t may be too much to expect in Key
West but we read that in a metropolitan
city high school students will be taught
how to talk pleasantly. how to use good
English and how to be at ease in the pres
eRee of potential employers and other peo-
pie
School officials have been led to in
stitute the new course because of the dis
covery that many students. other wise en-
tirely capable. have lost jobs because of
an inability to converse coherently or use
correct grammatical constructions. Some
of the students get tongue-tied in the pres
ence OF others, stutter. stammer and lose
all ppwes IS xlaent conversations
1t seems to us that the idea has posi-
bilities in the schools Of this county The
time has passed when school officials and
teachers can be satisfied with pumping in
teligence into the skulls Of children.
Education Is, after all. primarily intended
to equip boys and girls for living. Very
often. the student could afford to know
less about mathematics. language or his
tory and more about the art of getting
along socially with other human beings.

The Cuban legislative bill
levying tax of three dollars on

trip tickets from other countries
to points in Cuba, was signed
yesterday by President Machado,
and is now a law. This informa-
ton was received today by Gu
ban Consul Jorge Ponce in an Of
fetal communication. The greater
part of this money will be used
by the government to create a
fund for the fatherless children
and INDECENT mothers in Cuba.
The remainder is to be used for
the entertainment of visitors to
Cuba Mr.. Ponce was also in
formed that the government had
received $10.O00,000 of the $780,
100000 to be furnished by the
Chase National Bank of New

is sure, will bring about increased

an increase in others will be no

TRAVEL IS URGED
Congress Called for Next
Year in San Francisco
to Map Drive.

A concerted campaign to stimulate
mtd-American travel to increase
trade and goodwill among the coun-
tries OF this hemisphere is being
planned by governments Of the 81
American republics, the Pan-American
Union announced today.
The campaign will be organized at
the first Inter-American Travel Con-
gress in San Francisco April 1921,
next year, with the governments and
private interests Of all the American
nations taking part.
1t will include moves to make it
less expensive and more convenient to
travel from one country to another
on this side Of the world, as well as
Intensive promotion to sell" the
people on the idea Of inter-American
travel.
Travel in this hemisphere has def
mite recreational, cultural and eco
nonic values and contributes to the
stimulation of the spirit Of under
standing and goodwill among the
peoples Of the Americas" Secretary of
State Hull said in accepting an invi-
tatton for the United States to par
ticipate formally in the congress.
Similarly enthusiastic" acceptances
have been received from the govern
ments OF all the Latin American
countries, and Canada will be invited,
according 10 DR.. L. S. Rowe, director
general OF the Pan-American Union.
Closer Friendship.
This congress will be a most vital
force not only to stimulate closer
friendship and mutual understanding
among our American nations, but also
to bring into play economic factors
with far-reaching effects" DR.. Rowe
said.
1t was pointed out that one result
OF stimulated travel among the Amer
icas should be to Offset much Of the
anti-United States propaganda finding
It's way into Latin America through
European radio stations and other
mediums.
The travel congress will be held in
conjunction with the Golden Gate
International Exposition, which is
cooperating with the Pan-American
Union.
Passport Revision.
Problems tentatively scheduled for
discussion indicate that efforts will
be made to revise cumbersome pass
port and immigration regulations
which now make travel between coun-
tries irksome. Standard practices
Tor special use for travel between
the United States, Latin America and
Canada will be recommended.
Another special problem listed for
discussion involves tariffs on AUTO
mobiles. Efforts will be made to show
that taxes on gasoline and oil would
onset any loss Of revenue that might
come from lowering of customs duties
by Latin American countries in order
to stimulate use OF automobiles.
International cooperation among
tourist boards, travel agencies, hotel
associations and other private agencies
also will be considered. Delegates
from many such non-governmenta
organizations will attend the CONGRESS
