The Hoang-Ho river has driven
back the Japanese invaders. The flood
has chased them from a large area
conquered at a high cost. 1t has re-
quired them to shift their chief cam
paign from the territory and direc-
ton which it has maintained for
months. And it cannot be understood
easily without some slight sketch of
the stream which has done these
things.
The Hoang- Ho is probably the
worlds most erratic great river. 1t
flows for literally hundreds of miles
at higher level than that of the
country around it. There is a consid-
cradle distance at which the water at
low level is more than Is feet above
the region through which it flows,
and 80 feet at high season. The lower
Mississippi is safe, comfortable
stream compared to the Hoang- -Ho? !?
1t has changed its outlet IL times
in the last 1000 years; and one change
is astounding. Imagine the st. Law
renee flowing down the Mohawk and
the Hudson into New York bay for
a few hundred years, and then turn
ing and flowing where it goes now.
That is what the Hoang-Ho did in
1852; flowed on the north side Of a
big territory Of hilly country instead
Of on the south, shift Of more than
$50 miles

called. But if it will only be Japan's

Jackson Interpreted
For Dorothy Thomson

To the Editor Of The Star:
Dorothy Thompson, in her column pub
lished IN your edition of January 7, 1898,
quotes in part from Mr. Jackson's speech
and says she doesn't know what he means
by "state of mind" unless it means that
the judges of the country should have
the same state of mind as the admins
tration.
She owes it to Mr.. Jackson to find out
what he meant and apologize to him.
She owes it to her readers to find out
what he meant and set them right for
she could not have possibly come to any
more erroneous conclusion from his
statement.
What Mr.. Jackson undoubtedly meant
Is that judges should give more weight
to the results of the acts of persons who
appear before courts and less to the
intent which preceded such acts. Evi-
IDENTIFY Mr.. Jackson agrees with the
preacher who said: Hell is paved with
good intentions Courts have always
examined into the state of mind of
defendant prior to the commission of the
violation of law with which he is charged
and 1t is altogether fitting and proper
that they should. within limits, but it is
also true that person who has done an
injury to society should not 60 unpun-
ished, regardless of how good his inten-
tions were. This is just as true Of eco
nomic wrongs as 1t is of other wrongs
against society.

A Belated Christmas
Note of Appreciation
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Thank you for your Yuletide gift! You
gave 1t no pretty wrapping, but carefully

newspaper and left it to speak for itself,
to wish me the n1erriest Christmas that
comes to the children of men.

glimpse of the traditional Santa Claus
red-and-white caught my eye as I
searched for the editorial section OF The
sunday Star. I drew out the Sunday
magazine and saw vision of delight,
''The Skater"
How many, wonder, of your readers
felt the self-same thrill as they looked
at the rapturous skater who met my
wandering gaze? A figure of charm and
grace, the exquisite poise of her white
gloved hands, of the trinity fitting white
shoes, OF the jaunty set of her soft white
cap that matched the lovely fleece on
her crimson dress. She was the incarna-
ton Of joyous youth, the proof that ITO
be young Is very bliss"
The cleaning teeth behind her deep
red lips, the wealth of her golden hair,
the laughing blue eyes with their neatly
penciled brows, make her q creature so
chaste, so lovely, 50 good that I could
not let her 60. She made me glad that
I was alive.

Redundancy in Recent
Address of President? ?

To the Editor Of The Star:
New occasions just naturally seem to
breed new duties-and jobs
In Vice President Marshall,s day we
were told that what the country needs
is good scent cigar" That was chal-
lenge to tobacco manufacturers to pro-
duce such a product.
In our day the crying need seems to be
for grammarian general to defend the
Kings English, as Americanized, from
assaults OF purists and the literati.
And so it appears that we have one
tself-appointed) to defend the Presi-
dents English against the charge of
Redundancy" So far he has done very
well. But it looks like he has picked out
for himself a steady job
In the Presidents Jackson dinner ad-
dress there was continuous reference to
the integrity Of the morals of democ-
racy." Is this equivalent to saying "the
honesty of honesty" "the uprightness of
uprightness," "the ethics of ethics" or
"the virtue Of virtue?
AS there is some doubt about it the
question is respectfully referred by one
less learned to the grammarian general
for consideration and report.
Sincerely-in the public interest.

him were worth staying With: that was
where his sense came in.
II 1t isn't intelligence to know Q good
thing when you hnd 1t, We don't know
what intelligence Is.
Thousands Of humans do not seem to
know when they are well Of.
Tgey did not hesitate.
Although he was not permitted in the
house, he was free to make himself at
home on the back porch, under the sun
porch, and in the garage.
He asked for nothing better.
The chimney came up through the
sun porch. Its genial warmth kept him
snug enough on even the coolest nights.
Best Of all, there was always . platter
Of fish or meat waiting for him, and q
fine bowl Of milk.
If sometimes he was forced to share
these with dogs, he did not mind much
no dog held any terror for him. His
claws were ever ready. His powers of
canine intimidation were large.
So he waxed large and fat.
He lived the perfect feline ufe-all the
exercise and fresh air there were, and
plenty Of good food.
The only drawback to Tgey was that
some one, in his youth, had treated him
like dog.
Some one who did not really under
stand cats had tried to play with him as
II he were a dog.
They had boxed with him, and so had
taught him to box back at the slightest
motion.
This Is very common mistake. Some
persons think 1t funny to teach a cat
to box. But these creatures should never
be boxed with, in such q fashion; their
claws are too sharp, for one thing, and
1t Is wrong psychology Cats are not dogs,
and do not like 'roughhouse" tactics.
The result was that he bit, literally,
the hand that fed him.
1t was fortunate for him that he had
fallen into the hands of persons who
genuinely liked cats, who understood
their traits, and were willing to tolerate
such actions.
Really, 1t was not Tigey's fault.

years steady attendance on the back
porch. the big cat disappeared.
Had he found himself a new home.
where perhaps he was permitted in the
house?
ado ne become victim OF modern
trafhc?
Il
The days went by, and Tigey no more
graced the door mat.
That ever-ready paw, that grateful
purr OF thanks queer combination, un-
doubtedly-neither was q part of the
household.
Christmas came, and went, the New
Year came, but Tigey did not appear.
Last Saturday morning a meow came
from the front door.
There was Tigey, in all his splendor,
as fat as ever, and perfectly willing to
be fed.
You can pat me-" he seemed to purr,
but be careful-be careful"
He raised his paw.
BE careful Of this" he continued.
Where is the salmon and milk?"

Punishment for the New
Destroyer Of the Molbos

TO the Editor OF The Star:
Once upon q time there dwelt in a far
country people called Molbos. Now the
Molbos had built them q fine fish pond
and had developed therefrom q flourish
ing industry. But alas! there came q
time when no more fish could be caught
in the pond, and the Molbos were in des-
perate straits. The wise men therefore,
having put their heads together, decided
that they must drain the pond and dis
cover, II they might, what was the cause
Of this intolerable dearth Of fish. The
pond was accordingly drained, and 10!
there, Squirming in the mud, was some
sort Of vile monster, the very sight Of
which stirred the loathing of every
Molbo who beheld it. Modern biolo-
gists have concluded that it must have
been an eel) THAT" exclaimed the wise
men Of the Moabos in once voice, lis the
wretch that has been destroying our
precious fish! Come, let us take counsel
together on what penalty we shall mete
out to him for so execrable crime" So
once again they put their heads together,
and they We'd one with another for the
distinction of proposing the most ex-
quisite punishment for this enemy of
their race. Finally, one who had listened
attentively as penalty after penalty was
suggested, but had not hitherto opened
his mouth to counsel, spake crisply:
Drown him!" What genius!" exclaimed
the others in chorus. So they caught the
monster, took him out upon neighbor-
ing lake, and chucked him over the side
Of the boat. "Ah" calculated the shrewd
proposer of the punishment, behold his
torture! See how he Writhes and squirmS
in his terrible agonies!"
1t has been thought that the entire
race Of Molbos had become extinct; but
some recent events have led to the belief
that remnant of the tribe still exists.
For not long ago the big boss and some
OF the lesser bosses of nearby fish pond
were observed to have their heads to-
gether, much after the manner of the
Molbos, and were overheard to whisper
something about the alarming decline of
their fishing business. Then little later
these same fishing magnates were dis
covered embarking in a boat, while at
the same time carefully guarding some
squirming object which to the observer
looked like an eel, but which one of the
magnates called monopoly" And, when
the observer made bold to inquire what
they meant to do with it. the chief mag
nate himself replied: Drown him!"

Compilation of Causes
Of Unbalanced Recession

To the Editor Of The Star:
This country has the vitality, II past
history counts, to Withstand one more
compilation Of the causes Of the "un-
planned" recession:
l. Bureaucracy's stale albis, injudici-
Gus squawks, and demagogic attempts to
shirk any share Of blame for 4 near
debacle long seen In the making.
2. Failure Of legislators to modify, or
give alright assurance of modification of
confiscatory profits taxes. Failure to
reduce or consolidate Government bu-
yeaus, observe civil service laws, or lay
of spoilsmen of the high-pay, no-work
species. Failure to bridge the gap in
railroad buying power, due to reduced
traffic and fixed interest coverage, by
prompt rate restorations.
3. Proclaimed policy toward utility

cal campaigns, but altered to You're .
good guy let's shake" when their vast
expenditures are needed to salvage the
New Deal mess.
4. Oversupply of economists" In Gov
ernment, reform" obsessed-with clash
ing ideas, mostly goofy, generally un-
workable. Continuance, under their
"plans" of unbridled New Deal waste and
extravaganza.
S. Capitals building investment strike,
thanks to fantastic wages, inspired by
Governments drive for higher wages and
prices recently protested against. Labor
leaders failure to review wage scales and
conditions which motivated steady build
ing upturn in 1922-27, duplication Of
which is essential to stem decline.
6. Sit-down strikes, which exhausted
employees reserves, choked of demand,
and increased national vulnerability to
depression-without interference by the
powers in Washington.
Z. Speeches like those by Harold Ickes
and the new recruit to his style Of ora
tory, Robert Jackson-perfectly calcu-
lated to aggravate chaos, freeze recovery.
8. Fears engendered (called base
less" by Mr.. Roosevelt) In big business
and small enterprise by logical applica-
ton Of above factors.
Shall this recession end soon, drag end
lessly, or accumulate impetus on the down
side? Decision rests upon Congress, the
administration and the heavier thinkers
in labor's ranks. Which course will these
forces elect to follow?

Clipper Disaster.

The American public has heard with
profound regret the sorrowful news Of
the crash Of the twenty -one- ton Samoan
Clipper near Pago Pago. Captain Edwin
c. Musick was flyer popularity admired
for his courage and skill. His death
and that Of his six companions in
misfortune will sadden the hearts of
thousands Of friends.
Following closely on the loss of
Navy bomber with seven men off the
coast Of California, this latest tragedy
indicates that the Pacific is not yet
conquered. But 1t would be an error
to suppose that air traffic between the
United States and the Orient is an
enterprise fated to fail The contrary
is the truth. Yesterdays accident was
the first in Pan American Airways flying
Of the greatest and often the most
turbulent Of oceans. For nearly three
years Captain Musick and other pioneers
had been working out practical system
OF trans-Pacific air transport. Their
effort was not vain. Instead, it already
has demonstrated efficiency and utility
OF the highest order. The task will be
taken over by their successors and its
problems eventually will be solved.
Better engines are wanted for long
distance flights, and they will be built.
Braver or more devoted aviators cannot
be developed, but those who have blazed
the trail will not be forgotten. Gratitude
for the example which they have set
will assure their immortality.

II Duce Strikes a Snag.

Mussolini has just discovered afresh
that the way of the transgressor is not
rose-strewn. II Duce's attempt to use
reciprocal trade negotiations with the
United States as a lever to enforce
American recognition of the Ethiopian
conquest has run up against chunk of
Tennessee marble named Cordell Hull
and found it impervious.
The italian government insists that
this country should recognize King Victor
Emmanuel as Emperor OF Ethiopia and
incorporate that. rank and title in the
commercial agreement under discussion
between Washington and Rome. The
Secretary of State fatty declines to
assent to designation, innocuous
enough on its face, but avowedly sought
by Mussolini as formal token of Amer
lean approval Of aggression which be-
came the curtain-raiser of Japan's
violation of China
The diplomatic webs spun from time to
time at the Palazzo VeneNa have
trapped many a victim, but the Fascist
spider could hardly have expected the
American fly to walk into his Ethiopian
parlor. II Duce reckoned without his
Hull. Mr.. Hull only this week, while
paying his respects to Americans who,
after being hit, would run from China,
proclaimed the paramountcy Of orderly
processes" in world intercourse to trade
considerations. The Secretary of States
position Is exactly opposite to the Italian

case. As long as Rome demands recip-
rocal negotiations in the name Of the
Emperor of Ethiopia" there will be no
negotiations. Italian wines, olive oil,
vermicelli and macaroni will continue to
pay existing tariff rates at American
customs houses, while our copper, cotton,
oil, cereals and manufactures will enter
Genoa and Naples on present terms.
Diplomacy may find way Of circum-
venting the titular point in controversy.
but the knot cannot be unraveled at the
cost Of compromising the fundamental
issue.
It is real issue. To legitimize the
conquest of Ethiopia would be TO con-
done the seizure of Manchuria. It would
sanction the current invasion Of the
rest Of China by Japan. 1t would
give Germany the green light for her
plans to annex Austria and curtail
Czechoslovakia. This Nation adheres to
the Saavedra Lamas pact for nom
recognition Of territorial lawlessness.
Latin America would neither understand
nor like our disregard of that pledge.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES 3. TRAcEW1LL.

The house cat seldom Is given credit
for either affection or brains.
Yet nothing is better known to the
friends Of this curious animal than that
1t has both.
Often 1t deliberately refrains from
showing affection, not being . creature
given to wearing its heart on its sleeve,
as 1t were.
AS for its intelligence, It has plenty,
but only those who observe it carefully
will be able to discover the signs.
Tigey, outdoors cat, recently gave q
Christmas demonstration Of both.
Tigey Is called the outdoors cat, be-
cause he Is never allowed In the house.
He is not permitted In because he does
not belong to the householders.
Who Tigey does belong to, in a human
sense, Is not known.
1t Is generally reputed in the neigh
borhood that he was the pet OF persons
who moved away more than year ago,
leaving the cat to make his own way In
the world.
AS to the ethics of this, those who like
cats can have but one opinion, and it
Is not favorable to the humans who
fondly conceived themselves as the cats
master"
Tigey, however. took life as he found
1t.
Basically white, with tiger stripes over
all, he subsisted as best he could in the
neighborhood after some children let
him out of the attic In which they found
him locked
1t is not likely that he was locked up
deliberately.
No doubt he ran from the moving men.
Since they were on the steps, he fed
higher and higher, finally into the attic.
Then the door was shut on him.
Several days later he was found.
He was ION the neighborhood," as the
saying Is.
When he finally arrived beneath the
bird feeding station he was so hungry
that he ate cracked corn.
domestic cat must be pretty hungry
to eat such fare
No wonder he consumed q large dish
OF salmon, and drank almost q pint of
milk.
Who says fish and milk should not be
eaten together?
Certainly cats don't mind.
4
1t Is curious thing about cats, how
some OF them care for salmon and some
do not.
ASK the average person who has no
particularly liking for these animals
whether they will eat salmon, he will
reply without hesitation, "Why, Of
course"
Some cats will not eat it at all. Some
few will not eat raw beef. There are
cats which will lap orange Juice, and
others which like tomato juice.
one might think offhand that all cats
would like cod liver oil, but experience
shows that practically none OF them
takes it willingly.
