WASHINGTON-F perspective on the present South Pacific tug of-war between Japan and Britain, it is well to remember that for years Thailand then known as Siam, was a pawn in the power game of the bigger nations of the Pacific.
 In this game the United States had hand. For years, American financial advisers have been at tached to the Thailand throne, one of them having been Francis Sayre, son-in-law of Woodrow Wilson, now High Commissioner to the Philippines.
 We wooed Thailand on many oc- casiens, including the ornate re- ception given the former King of Siam. who as Supreme Arbiter of the Ebb and Flow of the Tide, Brother of the Moon, Half Brother of the Sun and Keeper of the Twenty-four Golden Umbrellas came to Washington in the days of Herbert Hoover and was regally entertained.
 The British were even more ln- terested in the Siamese. British ad- yisers for time ran the king dom's government, trained it's army supplied the one or two ships tor it's navy.
 But half dozen years ago the Japanese began preaching the doc urine of Asia for the yellow man and Siam for the Siamese. That was how the name came to be changed to Thailand, a national istic token of home rule. Young Siamese nationalists took over the government and Thailand grasped the Japanese bait as step toward nationalism.
 Reason for Japan's interest ir this small country was not nation alism, but the fact that a slender finger of land, about as wide as the Isthmus of Panama, called the Isthmus of Kra, is controlled by

Publisher of Newspaper
 In Texas, Who 5farfed as
 Newsboy, Gives Last Copy

DALLAS, TEXAS, Aug. 12-Edwin Kiest. 79, onetime newsboy who built the outstanding Dallas Daily Times Herald, died yesterday. He was a charter member of the Asso- ciated Press.
 More than sixty years ago, Edwin John Kiest sold newspapers from a bundle under his arm at the corner of Clark and Randolph streets in Chicago For more than 40 years he was sole owner and publisher of the Dallas Times Herald, now housed in a modern newspaper plant into which no concrete was poured or steel laid until he had S1 100000 in a bank to pay for it.
 His newsboy experience was the source of an episode in his middle life he often related with huge enjoyment.
 S1OO For Paper
 Mayor Garter Harrison, the younger of Chicago" he said, "sev- eral years before the World War got a list of old-time newsboys and asked us to come. to Chicago and sell papers for one day for charity.
 T took my own station and pretty soon Victor F. Lawson date pub fisher of the Chicago Daily news) came along. stopped him, nagged him, and finally sold him copy of his own paper for $10O."
 Knew The Business
 The milestones in Kiest's life paralleled the transition of Texas from the wide open spaces and the cotton patch to diversified indus tries and multitudinous oil fields. Rebuilding The Times Herald from it's moribund condition when he bought it January 1, 1896, was his life work. He was a practical printer with experience in salesmanship of newspaper accessories, training he applied to creating a successful daily.
 Financed By Watch
 He worked himself unsparingly his watch frequently went to the pawn shop, and shares of windmill stock paying 20 per cent dividends were sacrificed at 75 cents on the dollar in order to keep life in his newspaper. He had no credit, he said, but that watch represented security. Sometimes got $10 on it. sometimes more; but it was a savior in financial pinches." The watch in later years found rest in a safe deposit box.
