be. 1t simply means that Japan Is
scraping the bottom OF the parIei
in its frantic search for more poinps
to dump ON the Chinese.
More important is the possibility
that Mexico will sell increasing
quantities of oil and aviation gaso-
line to the Japanese. At present IL
is selling around 100000 barrels a
month, and there are desperate Ell
forts to increase this. The grant
of an exploratory oil concession TO
japanese interests on the CUR
Coast is interesting, but no such
concession could readily be develop
ed in time TO bear on the Chinese
war unless Japan thinks the war
is going to last long, long time.
Mercury and antimony are also
being sold in Mexico to German in
terests, which send them to Japan,
there dividing the materials. 1t il. a
perfectly legal trade, and there Is
nothing the United States can do
to prevent it except buy the material
itself.
AS long as the controversy over
the appropriation of American Oil
properties in Mexico continues un-
adjusted it seems likely that Mexi-
co must continue to sell what it
can where it can. This pressing
problem seems certain to be a legacy
to the incoming Avila Camacho re-
gime in Mexico and to whatever adj
ministration is in office here after

The Inside Track in Washington

Stimson was really let down by
his own government.
According to that version, after
Stimson made his proposal Tor
Joint action, the British govern
ment cabled its embassy in Toxic
for it's reaction in regard to pos
sible economic sanctions against
Japan. The British embassy cabled
back that the idea was okay but
that it ought to be remembered
that the Japanese might get aW-
fully tough. The embassy never
heard anything more about it.
U. S. WOULDN'T
RISK TROUBLE
After hearing from its Toxic
embassy, the British government
got in touch with Stimson again.
According to my informant, it ask
ed, in effect: Suppose your coun-
try and our country apply econo-
mic sanctions and the Japanese
don't back down but prepare to
fight-just what will your country
do them" Stimson consulted with
President Hoover. A little later he
was obliged to reply that in such
case this country was not in a
position to go ahead with sanctions
if any real risk of trouble were in
volved.
British foreign secretary then
was Sir John Simon, an appeaser
of the first water. The news from
Washington suited him perfectly,
and the whole idea was dropped
although the impression got abroad
that it was dropped only because
of the British governments re-
luctance to act tough.
Actually, there is said to have
been enough sentiment in London
for a firm stand to have forced Sir
John Simon to go ahead with the
Stimson idea-if Stimson hadn't
been caught off base in Washington
before Sir John could be compell-
ed to take a stand.

The Scrap for Scrap

Japan is convinced tha a t the
United States is serious about cut
ting off sales of scrap iron. That
is clear from the frantic efforts
she is making to buy it up in every
corner of the world.
Japanese interests are bidding
deperately, for instance, for $780,
900 tons of scrap to be sold by the
Mexican railway and oil administra-
tions. Many Americans have man
aged to drum up considerable in
dignation that Mexico would pre-
sumo to consider such a sale now
that the United States has en-
bargoed it.
Mexicans will get laugh out of
that because of more than 21,500,-
900 tons of scrap iron and steel
exported from the United States
since 1888, more than half went
to Japan. A country which has
sent ten million tons of this es-
Sential war material to Japan can
scarcely criticize a neighbor country
which negotiateS for the sale of a
mere 100000 tons. 1t is even un-
likely that SO much will actually
be Sold
AS a matter of fact, the deal is
nothing to worry about anyway.
Mexico has no great amount of such
supplies. The scrap now being sold
by the Mexican railway and oil
administration has probably been
acumulating for years. There isn't
any more, and there isn't likely to

thod of amendment.
1. An amendment to the Consti
tuition. to become law, must be
ratified by how many states?
2. How many amendments TO
the Constitution are there?
3. Can you describe, in few
words, the most recent amend
ment TO the Constitution?
4. Three amendments were the
direct result of the Civil War. Can
you tell what each of them pro-
vided?
5. An amendment to the Con-
stitution is pending-that is, 1t has
been approved by the house and
senate but has not been ratified by
enough states TO make it law. What
is it?
1. An amendment must be rati-
fled by three-fourths of the states
SO at present.
2. There are 21 amendments to
the Constitution.
3. The most recently adopted
amendment was the one which re-
pealed prohibition.
4. The Civil War resulted in
three amendments: the 18th, pro-
hibiting slavery; the 14th, guaran-

race: and the 18th, granting equal
rights regardless of race.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. .25.-Custo-
mers who have been inclined to
think of Hollywood as glittering
capital of fun and gathering place
for fascinating geniuses and scin-
tillating intellectuals would be
amused I believe, to know how simple
are most of the pleasures enjoyed
by the great minds and the assert
edly bright stars.
Five years ago, when I came here
and began an initial tour of the
studios, famous actors and actresses
were standing around juggling
short lengths of rope with weights
on the free ends. They were doing
this between scenes with strange,
strained and silent intentness. With
a little swing, and just the proper
jiggle, a weighted end would rise
in an arc, drop through loop of
its own making, and tie a simple
knot in the rope. Triumph! Congra-
tulatory cries of "Marvelous!'
There were a few people, notably
Gary Cooper, who had perfected
a double jiggle which would tie a
figure 8.
Next came the Handles. They
were charades restricted to panto-
mime, and about the time the fad
had run its course, some of the
studios got around to using Handles
in movies. BY then, Hollywood was
playing Knock-Kock. This was a
game requiring dialog, and it was
happily participated in by everyone
at any time.
In the past couple of years there
have been no really popular new
pastimes. Most of those devised
have been too difficult to be funny.
AS result, there seems to be
more dead-pan ribbing and dou-
ble- talk than ever before.
HITCHCOCK GOES
TO BAKERSFIELD
Take Alfred Hitchcock. That
physically gross, artistically fine
director now is making a picture
called "Mr. and Mrs. Smith, with
Carole Lombard and Bob Montgom-
cry Miss Lombard is perpetually
exhausted with laughing at Hitchy
who she says is but really funny
and "out of this world" To the
actress, almost everything is but
really swell or but really lousy.
or but really something-or other
As a complimentary superlative
she says, Us out of. this world!''
Anyway, Hitchcock has begun
playing a ribbing game which

might be called Going to Bakers
field" He approaches some visitor
on the set and earnestly asks whe-
ther he ever as been to Bakers
field. How far is it? How long does
it take to drive? How long by train?
Is Bakersfield hot? How hot? What
sort of people live there?
The questioning may go on for
half an hour even if the cornered
victim never has seen Bakersfield.
There's no kicker to the gag. May
be it's funny, but it seemed to me
awfully tiresome.
A GAG THAT
BACKFIRED
The great director tried another
joke which I definitely disliked.
and I'm glad it fizzled. He was
talking to another correspondent
when the latter noticed and COM
mented on the beauty of Georgia
Carroll. newcomer from Broadway.
Said Hitchcock: Beautiful yes, but
not very bright, I'm afraid. Here,
I'll show you"
He called over his secretary and
dictated a tumble of sentences full
of ballet terms and hard-to-prO-
nouncc names of ballet masters.
1t was absolutely meaningless.
When it was typed. Hitchcock took
it and the newspaperman over to
Miss Carroll and introduced the
embarrassed guy as new dialog
director who would help her learn
this freshly-written dialog for the
next scene.
Miss Carroll wasn't dumb enough
to chance a row by telling the fat
man he and his dialog were crazy.
She just sat down and memorized
the jabberwocky and in few
minutes recited it with flawless
pronunciation Hitchcock squirmed
when he tried to explain his little
joke.

WHY We ARE FOR
WENDELL [. WILLKIE

NNeW BeQI0fd, Mass, standard IlmeS)
If there can have been any doubt in
the minds of our readers, we now an
nounce our wholehearted support of Will
kie for President
With wholesome respect for the intelli-
gence and patriotism of our readers, in
cluding those who differ with us, we
submit our reasons.
1t now is seven and one-half years
since President Roosevelt took office, un-
der conditions to try the most hardy.
None can deny that he grappled with
the problem.
With many of his measures, particu-
larly in his first four years, We agreed
and still agree.
These newspapers supported whole
heartedly many of these measures.
We supported the Presidents banking
policy, including demonetization of gold.
We supported his measures to regulate
and control the security markets.
We supported and observed the NRA
during its brief life span.
We supported Social Security and Old
Age Assistance measures.
We were an original and effective sup
porter of the Wage and Hour Act and
many others.
We supported these measures because
We supported them as steps of prog
resS, to be worked out in peaceful revolu-
ton, and without destruction of the AM
erican system and in accordance with
law.
We supported the President, particu-
lariy in early moves, even when we doubt
ed the wisdom of some of his measures.
For we took him at his word, that he
would try many things and discard free
ly those which did not work.
But our faith was shaken when the
Present refused to discard known fail
ures.
Our faith was further shaken when
matters not remotely connected with the
depression were accused of causing the
depression.
In time it became clear the Presidents
principal efforts were not directed to-
ward restoring prosperity and private
jobs.
He was not primarily interested in re-
covery.
He was using the nations troubles
and emergency to establish private So
cial philosophy of his own.
In the name of emergency he was try
ing to change the country's FORM OF
GOVERNMENT.
And in the pursuit of these aims he

Here we broke with the President.
We broke with the President when he
laid hands on the Supreme Court and
tried to pack it to do his bidding.
We broke with the President when he
abandoned his pledge to balance or try
to balance the budget.
We broke with the President when he
persisted in 'strafing" business at the
same time he urged business to re-em-
ploy.
We broke with the President when it
became clear his far-flung program rec
ognized no end of the emergency
We broke with the President when it
became clear he was not satisfied with
reform through peaceful progress
that what he had in mind was social re-
volution, shaking the very foundations Of
government.
1t long had seemed plain that the Pres
ident did not know how to bring about
recovery.
1t then became clear that, secure in
his starry-eyed philosophy. he was not
disturbed by his continued failure.
We now oppose the President because
Of his failure to understand and follow
the mandate of the people.

few months passed. There were no iiioie
breadlines on a wholesale basis. BANKS
reopened. Mortgage foreclosures dlm-
inished. Men without jobs were put on
federal relief. The situation was lol
better. Everyone breathed easier.
But :.
AT the height of the depression IN
France. in England, in Germany-every-
where else in the world = there were
breadlines, bank closures, mortgage fore
closures. There were no New Peals that
came into power in those countries. Ihey
struggled along under the same govern
ments they had when they went into the
depression. Yet, as in the United States,
a few months passed, and there were no
more great breadlines, no more bank
closures, no more big scale mortgage
foreclosures. And in those countries,
too men either went on relief or went
to work. Most of them went to work.
The stark fact, borne out by figures
easily available in newspaper files and
economic reports on the era, is that the
United States was BEHIND the rest OF
the world in recovery, and remained be-
hind throughout the years that followed,
up to the present.
This is not an effort to belittle the
worthwhile accomplishments of the New
Deal during that early era. They were
many. But the mistakes were many,
too The economic record, in fact, seems
to indicate that they outnumbered the
accomplishments.
1t is hard to see any reason for pride
in record which kept this, the greatest
producing nation of the world, behind
all the other nations on the road to re-
covery.
The New Deal would do better to con-
fine its 1910 campaign efforts to current
issues. ignoring the past which is not
too complimentary.

FAIR RETURN

Propositions No. l and on the Nov.

ed, in brief, to prevent counties from
taking liens on property owned by aged
persons who apply for and receive re-
lief from the county. One proposition
would be retroactive, the other would
effect the present and the future.
Even though sensible to the plight of
aged persons who must throw themselves
on relief in order to live, we must op-
pose these propositions
Under the present law the aged pen
sioners are entitled to keep their homes
as long as they live. The law as it now
is merely gives the county a chance to
recover after the death of the relief re-.
cipient some part of the money spent
on him or her during life. 1t is the least
the penniIess aged can do to repay So
ciety for taking care of them. 1t is what
any honorable person should be willing
to do.

as aged persons, are entitled to all the
consideration the law can give them we
