Three hundred miles southwest OF
Hong Kong and directly in Britain's
communication path lies tiny but
important Hainan island, generally
considered within Frances sphere
of influence. What both France and
Britain have long feared is jap
anese seizure of Hainan, despite
1887 agreement that Tokyo would
stay out so long as France blocked
munition traffic to China via French
Indo-China. But Japan has now
violated that agreement, occupying
Hainan on a temporary" basis so
long as military necessity demands.
Most observers fear that military
necessity will demand permanent
occupation.
Significant is the fact that France
has just rejected Japan's ambassa-

LAR OWNERS everywhere are
acclaiming the extra blowout protection
and non-sllid safety of the new Firestone
Champion Tire. And automobile
manufacturers, knowing its outstanding
performance, have adopted it for their
new 1889 models. On every hand you
hear, 'It's the most effective tire we have
ever had on wet pavement and in mud
and snow!" It's the hit of 1899!
The Firestone Champion Tire is a
completely new achievement in safety
engineering and the result of new and
revolutionary means of locking greater
safety into the cord body of tire. This is
accomplished first, by the use of new
type of tire cord called "Safety-Lock," in
which the cotton fibers are more
compactly interviewer to give greater
strength. And then the fbers in each
individual cord, the cords in each ply
and the plies themselves are all securely
locked together by new and advanced
Firestone process of Gum.Dipping, which
provides amazingly greater strength-and
greater strength means greater safety.
Thenew Safety-Lock cord construction
gives the added strength that makes
possible the use of the new thicker,
tougher, deeper Firestone Gear-Grip

CONTROL URGED
 ION PROPAGANDA
Regulation of Unfair COnl- petitive Propaganda Is
 Urged

San Francisco, Sept. -(UP)-- Prof. Harwood L. Childs of Prince ton, advocates the creation of "U. s. Government Commission for the Regulation of Unfair Competitive Propaganda Practices"
 "The true function of propagan- da," Dr. Childs told the Common wealth club of California, "is to help citizens make wise and intelligent decisions on public affairs. Sadly enough, however, it often does not.
 There is a need, therefore, it seems to me, for Q Federal Com mission, comparable to the Federal Trade Commission, to make perio- die audits of unfair propaganda practices"
 Dr. Childs is professor of the De- partment of Politics at Princeton and also editor of Public Opinion Quarterly.
 Issue Needs Clarifying
 "Democracies," he declared, "be- lieve in lots of propaganda as a means of clarifying public issues and forming public opinion. And they like a variety of propaganda. Dictatorships like propagana, too, but only of one kind"
 Lately, Dr. Childs said, there have been several excellent analyses made of the propaganda of the World War, but insisted that what is wanted and most needed now is an analysis of present propaganda.
 Theoretically" he said, "the sound ideas of democracy will sur- vive and the irrationalities will be rejected. But too many confusing factors and too much deliberately confusing propaganda is prevalent today to allow propaganda to achieve those ends.
 We know how countries in Eu- rope are trying to win the support of the United States, but what we want to know is just how they are doing 1t. We want to know what methods they are using: what in- fluence or pressure they are bring ing to bear on Americans and their leaders"
 Constant Check Urged
 Dr. Childs declared that all of these questions could be answered by the creation of permanent commission to check constantly on all forms of propaganda and outlaw any and all unfair practices.
 What investigations are made now, he said, suffer inevitably by timely results, their findings com- ing out years after the events have occurred.
