FREEDOM OF SEAS
MIGHT BRING WAR

lOroyille Mercury Register)
When reporters asked Secretary ot
State Hull Wednesday whether the Unit
ed States will insist on freedom OF the
seas in shipping supplies to Russia they
put their finger on the vital spot
1t was |. s. inSistence on freedom OF
the seas that got lis into the last vat.
It was our surrender Of that principle
in the Atlantic that has kept us out Of
this one.
Hull's reply was somewhat evasive.
lie said that until the policy is revoked
it can be assumed that it is still in force;
However. our recent attitude towards
japan would indicate that we are gong
to insist upon freedom Of the seas to de-
liver cur goods to Nladiyostok.
During the other world var we insisted
on sending munitions to Britain III our
own ships That Is. we insisted on Tree
dom Of the seas for our ships. This time
we have surrendered that right IN the
Atlantic by voluntarily declaring war
zones and barring our ships from such
zones The President recently redeclared
for tie policy OF freedom Of the seas
for American ships. but he is unable to
change the law, which keeps them out
Of zones where the war IS being fought.
Japan would be able to keep our sup
plies from reaching Russia through wa
ters patrolled by japanese ships if it
would declare war on Russia. for the
japanese blockade could be made effec-
tive. but that is the only way Japan can
prevent Us without running the risk Of
war with this country.
As side-light, it seems odd that Japan
should want to block munition shipments
TO Russia. Do not these two countries
have 3 non-aggression pact. signed gladly
by Japan? But, of course. all treaties
are but scraps Of paper to countries ruled
By dictators bent on aggression.

SAVING FACE

japanese face saving has become one
of the cutest diplomatic tricks III the
bag. So far, il has worked But from
here on out. Japan seems faced with the
necessity of losing her face or losing
her life.
Heretofore the japanese hava fostered
the face saving business as 4 dogg0ned
good thing in horsetrade. SAYS Japan,
"Weve got to save face 50 lei Us take
over Manchuria = or Shanghai, or
Indo-China or whatever bit Of land is
next. So far, il has worked. The Jap
anese have been able TO save face, and
proceed into another position in which
the world was called upon to let them
save face again. And each face saving
step meant greater territorial acquisi-
tions for Japan.
No more Of that from here on. If Jap
an has got her face in a nutcracker, it
is her own fault She can save it. and
a lot more, By pulling it back where it
belongs.

The Inside Track in Washington

Il been the cause of the current
flare-up. Back of that is the simple
fact that the Army and the civilian
population too have not yet been
sold on the seriousness of the
emergency, the need of the defense
effort, the all-out characteristics Of
the crisis What the Army brass
hats probably would like to know
IS how you can have good soldier
morale when the civilian morale
is as low as it admittedly is, with
labor leaders dissatisfied, though
they have better conditions than
ever before. with farm leaders fight
ing for still higher PARTIES and re-
sisting price control, with business
scared because it can't go on "as
usual
One idea on remedying this situa-
ton is that the morale Of the Army
can be bucked up to such point
that it can be force for dispelling
some of the gloom at home. It IS
a democratic army's privilege to
gripe-at food, at pay, at officers,
at everything. But if even just a
little pride in the Army could be
instilled into the letters which the
soldiers write home, it would not
only do the Army but the country
as a whole lot of good tonic.
Regular Army officers look for
a big improvement of the morale
situation during and after the pres
ent maneuvers. There the soldiers
will have been kept busy, will have
lived in the field with their Off
GERS, will have come TO know what
real soldering is.
One of the biggest handicaps the
new Army has had to overcome IS
Just plain boredom.

USELESS HIGHWAY RISKS

Iittle Rock, Ark. Democrat)
Have you ever driven behind two or
three trucks running 50 close together
on tWo-lane highway that it is a serious
risk. if not an impossibility, to pass
them?
Of course you have, and you know that
accidents have resulted from efforts to
get around Just such a string of trucks.
=. But why pick on the truck drivers
when motorists in ordinary passenger
cars are equally guilty? Proper spacing
between automobiles not only lessons the
danger to other drivers wishing to pass,
but makes for safety for the drivers in
the procession. An automobile travelling
al So miles an hour, even under the best
Of conditions, cannot be stopped within
30 or IS feet. yet il is an everyday eX-
perience to see three or four cars in a
roW travelling at such a speed with no
greater space between them. It never
seems to occur to the second and third
car drivers that any sudden change of
pace by the leading car may pile up all
of the automobiles.

DON'T POINT CRITICISM
AT SOMEBODY ELSE

Juvenile delinquency has taken on
mass production tinge Il Imperial valley
these last few weeks. First there WAS
uncovered the wronpside of i or more
boys whose age too, hovared around i,
and whose deeds ranged upward II ser
iousness to burglary and downward 10
the pettiest of petty misdemeanors. Next,
within few days. law enforcement Of
ficers cracked open another gang OF
perhaps 20 boys. slightly Older. whose
forte seemed To be the theft Of SHINY,
fancy automobile accessories.
Potentially serious delinquency of .
or more boys IN a community the sIz2 oi
Imperial Valley within a period oi
few weeks is terrifying IN lis Impilea-
tions To the parents Of other Children,
10 juvenile authorities and To law en-
forcement officers. it Is a matter As ser
ious as any to confront the community Ter
many months.
The seriousness lies not in the lndi-
vidual problems Of the youngsters III
volved That Is a matter fer the par
ents of these particular children and fof
the juvenile authorities who are trained
in the business of correcting the personal
faults which have contributed To the de
linauency None Of the boys involved III
recent Wrongdoings here are bad boys.
All of them are perfectly normal most
of them are of average intelligence or
above. and by far the greater percentage
of them come from good homes. They
are not criminals and should not be
treated as criminals. The tfoubl2 they
are in spotlights an oversight By the
community that IS, however, almost Grim
inal.
Boys get into trouble because they
have nothing else to do. Boys seek ad-
venture 1t is in their blood to do so. L
time hangs heavy on their hands, Il they
have exhausted the normal games boys
play and can find nothing else TO occupy
them, then they are headed for trouble.
Innocently without fully realizing the
possible consequences, they are liable to
become embroiied IN pursuits dangerous
to their community and to their own fu
ture lives.
The fault is not theirs. Il is the COM
munity's.
There Is little for a growing. active,
restless boy TO do in Imperial Valley III
the summertime. Il is no coincidence
that the worst cases of juvenile deiin-
quency come To the surface IN the sum-
mertime here The summers comDina-
ton of leisure and boredom plants the
seed from which delinquency springs.
Imperial Valley can remedy the situa-
ton. It will take a Lot Of thought. d lot
of time lot Of concentrated effort and
supervision Bur it Is only the working
out of details that will be hard. The
goal is simple.
Give them something 10 do with their

There was q census in 1910. The
Constitution ard the laws enacted
hereunder provide that the rep
resentation of the states in the
national Congress shall be appor-
toned in accordance with popula-
ton as revealed by each 10-year
census.
When the census returns were all
totaled UP at the end Of 1910, Sec
retasy OF Commerce Jesse Jones
reported to the President the re-
suits, together with what they
mean for the various states. Some
states stand to gain representation
in future Congresses after the 1912
elections, others stand to lose, be-
cause they have gained or lost
population since the last census.
All this is right and proper, since
under cur form Of government rep
reSentation should be equalized as
nearly as possible. Congress always
hesitates to Go its duty in this
matter. Up to 1920 it sidled into
that duty by simply increasing the
size of the House, adding members
for states with increasing pop
ulation, without taking any away
r,,r,,, 4l,o CfINpTc
IN that year it was decided TO
freeze the total at 435, and good
thing, too. That is plenty big
enough, and some critics say it is
unWieldy. Obviously, as the ma
tional population grows and the
House is not increased in member
ship. members must represent larg-
er and lareer constituencies, and
some districts must eventually be
eliminated or consolidated.
Now, however, comes an inter-
esting problem within the prob
lem. In Illinois, a suit has been
filed by State Representative DAILY
of Alton asking the state courts
to prohibit election of congressman
rom Illinois ON the basis of the
25 congressional districts as they
