WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The
United States government, it was
learned on high authority today,
has decided that maintenance of
the Burma Road as supply line
to China is vital" to American
national defense purposes.
An understanding is now being
made with Great Britain and China
concerning concerted action to be
taken by the three powers in event
of a japanese attack on that road.
Although details are a defense
secret it can be disclosed that both
the United States and Britain are
helping China defend the Burma
Road from a Japanese attack.
Brig. Gen. John McGruder, chief
of the American military mission
to China. is now in Running, Chi

IN THE NEWS

| Most appointiye political
offices are payoffs TO the
gangs, so those offices are
filled with relatives of the
politicians, dependents of the
politicians, henchmen of the
politicians, - by everything
except honest and capable
servants of the public.
Citizens, look TO your pub
lie institutions. They are for
the most part badly run.
Almost every state has IFS
Whittier, and probably Cali
fornia and other states have
many public institutions as
disgracefully and disreputably
managed as Whittier has
been.
Citizens, look to your poll
ties generally and to your
politicians.
Your politics are degenerat-
ing into a racket and that is
the beginning of the dry rot
of democracy.
Your politicians are arrO-
eating to themselves too much
power and fortifying them
selves i'm the possession and
selfish exercise Of that power.
The corruption in your poll
tics is not only threatening
you and your liberties, but
menacing the welfare of your
country, - undermining the
strength and permanence Of
your American institutions.
If you desire free institu-
tons you must deserve them.
If you want to keep your
liberties you must take the
trouble to make democracy
work honestly and success
fully.
Every failure In your demo-
cratic system is an opportu-
nifty for tyranny,-an invita-
ton to despOtism.
Unremitting effort to Sc
cure honesty and efficiency in
government Is the one way to
prove the value and practi-
cability Of democracy.
Constant care and attention
Is the price of honesty even
as eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty.

The worthy citizens of the

borrower. when two
wretched little boys, debased
and tortured by politically ap-

cottage until they were dead
to escape the horrors of the
place, DIR. Aaron j. RosanOff,
state director of institutions,
ought to have known best
about that"
But did he?
The shocking facts were
published in all the news
papers.
Insistent demands for rec
LITIGATION and reform were
made by the newspapers.
Investigating committees
were secured by the press,
backed by public opinion, and
at long last officialdom began
to move.
DIR. r O 8 a n off certainly
should have known best about
the conditions complained of.
But what did he do about
them?
DIR. RosanOff cannot airily
wave off responsibility for the
c O n diti O n 8 in institutions
under his supervision or con-
troll.
Nor under such disgraceful
circumstances can the public
endorse the sincerity Of pub
lie officials without question
ing their competence and
without endeavoring to fix
reasonable responsibility for
the fragrant and conspicuous
and fully publicized corrup-
ton which endured for so long
and neglected a period at the
Whittier State School of Cali

And the facts probably will
be fully laid before the public,
because Assemblyman c. Don
Field, chairman of the assem-
bly, economy and efficiency
committee, and Assemblyman
Franklin j. Potter, both able
and conscientious representa-
tives of the people, have said:
"The state is losing a very
valuable authority IL ii loses
the services of DIR. Cox" AMI
added, I've will gather a COM
pIete set of facts for the
record" 49,.
DIR. Cox might have gone
much farther than alleging
that political ehicanery is the
reason for the maladministra-
ton at Whittier. He might
have said that political CHI
canery" Is the bane of every
state in the operation of its
public affairs.
He might have said that
political chicanery is tn e
weakness of democracy and
might i'm time prove the de-
struction of democracy.
Political chicanery pervades
every branch of state govern
ment, and of late, every
branch of the federal govern
ment.
Politics has come to be an
opprobrious word and pOliti-
clans a disparaging term.
POlitics-the service of the
state and of the people
should be a most honorable
and honored profession, but
how can it be when in so many
instances the control of pub
lie matters is determined by
political and personal antip-
athies" and political and per-
sOnal interests.
OF course there are some
worthy citizens engaged i'm
politics, but since an occupa-
ton, like an individual, Is
known by the customary
character of its performance,
politics has been aptly desig-
mated as-and has mainly de-
generated intO-a racket"
Politicians I'm too many
cases are in the business, not
for the service they can rem
der the public, but for the
financial support they can get
out of the state.
Many men who have failed
In private affairs have taken
up politics as a means of live
lihOod.
Many of these men have no
qualification for success or
service except a devious mind,
an ingratiating manner.
These qualities fit them for
no honest service In business
and no useful achievement in
public life. But these qualities
enable them as politicians to
deceive the public, TO pretend
and to promise, to excuse be-
trayal and to cOndOne failure,
These political gangsterS
have their gangs.
The gangs support the poll
ticians at elections and be.
tween the elections and In
preparation for the next cleo
ton the politicians support
the gangs.
