AN AMBASSADOR
OF GOOD WILL

Relationships between the United States and
Japan have been subjected to tremendous strain
from time to time since the invasion of Manchura.
The sinking of the Panay, the mshanding of
American citizens bombs which fell perilously
close to American establishments all have at
one time or another brought about crisis of great
seriousness. But standing guard at Toxic, calm,
friendly, intelligent and firm has been one of
the outstanding career diplomats, Joseph G. Grew.
Enjoying the confidence of the japanese gov.
ernment even as of his own, MIR. Grew has put
on little pressure here and relaxed little
there as the situation demanded and, by his dplo.
macy, has prevented any rupture of relations. Be
sure to read Leon VOLTS article on MIR. Grew

Menace Of Self Pity
BY Ruth TAYLOR

Self pity is far deadlier in its eff
fects than any poison gas ever in
vented. It has destroyed whole ma
tons as it grew and spread its
devastating smoke screen.
Over ten years ago, on the train
from Bremen to Cologne, a Ger
man women spoke to me of this.
We talked a mixture OF German
and English with the aid of a
pocket dictionary all the way
down the Rhineland, past the
smoke filled industrial towns that
have learned in the last months
the force of the R. A. f.
She said There is something
wrong growing. 1 feel it. have
two boys. One Of them when he
misses with his ball just laughs
and tries again. But the other-he
is my trouble. When he misses he
says the sun was in his eyes or
somebody pushed him. That is
what is happening to our people.
They viii not laugh and try to
throw the ball right They keep
thinking that it is not their fault.
l can stop it with my boy-but 1
cannot stop it with my people
and the end win be bad"
What self pity can do to a ma
ton We have seen in the rise of
Hitler We are face to face today
with the problem of how to keep
from our shores the forces he has
unleashed. But we must also keep
out the source from which his
power mushroomed.
There is no self pity here? But
there is! The young people say,
There is nothing for us today
WC Ne44l llkC 4AO4 mai lives lit way
your generation could. There is no
future for US" The adults COM
plain of the taxes they have to
pay-overlooAing that these taxes
are small price to pay for free
dom. A howl goes up when the
slightest restriction is placed on
the people as a whole, for the good
of the people as a whole.
We do like to complain. And our
freedom to do so is the unwritten
codicil to the Bill of Rights. But
we must take care not to let nat
ural grousing turn into self-pity.
This is the stuff upon which the
dictators feed-a fungus growth
that can choke a healthy nation,
sapping the unity of purpose that
is the cornerstone of our demo-
cratic way Of life.
