sTIMsON VISITS FDR

In 1883, a week or two after Stimson had left the State Depart ment and FDR was in the White House, he came down from New York to see the new president of the United States, told him in de- tail about his efforts to block Japan. Stimson especially asked Roosevelt that he not recognize Japan's conquest of Manchuria.
 T won't even discuss it with the so-and-sos," replied Roosevelt.
 That was the beginning of a mutual respect which eventually brought Stimson into the Roosevelt Cabinet.
 As he heard FDR's speech, pro- posing a world council on which the American representative could pledge U. S. force without consult ing the Senate, Stimson must have remembered the days when he was not even able to persuade Herbert Hoover to consider a pact pledging the United States merely to consultation. And he must have thought to himself that, after all, the world sometimes does make progress.

Female of the Species
Washington PoSt)

It takes little more than war and presi- dental election campaign to keep Prof Ernest Hooton
 the eminent Harvard anthropologist in the back ground This week Dr. Hooton crashed into the news columns again by suggesting too late perhaps to in fluence many votes that woman should be elected President Women, according to Dr. Hooton, are honest, materially and Intellectually than men, and much less given to tbefudding their conscences with spacious excuses and fallacious reasoning" Of course one could argue from the very premises that since spacious and faacious reasonings have been the stockntrade of politicians in all and places, women have, ipso facto, great aptitude for politics. However, the professor fore stalls this argument by pointing out that if women had been running "the affairs for the past few thousands of years they could hardly have made a worse mess of them than men have" This is a negative argument, doubt, but, far it goes,
 it seems well-nigh impossible
 While there has yet been no woman President, there have been any number of woman rulers at various times-zenobia Cleopatra Boadcea Elizabeth, Catherine Maria Theresa Victoria, to mention but few-and the historical evidence seems to be that they have governed just about well or as badly or as indifferently as men. But perhaps Dr. Hooton would say that all were so handicapped by masculine interference in form another that they never had the opportunity to do first-rate job. Perhaps to find fair example of what the female can do when she has real chance we shall have to go entirely outside human society-and, anyway Dr. Hooton has been preaching that human society has been definitely the downgrade for the past 30000 years-to the bees, In the bee societies, under the beneficent rule of their queens there treasury deficits unemployment (even drones have func- tion), interdepartmental bickerings, no serious wars confusion about foreign policy. No deny that the gynecratic society of bees is more efficient in every particular than any androcratic society of human beings evolved devised. All the same. it must be a little monotonous and dare say there moments when even the bees might relish little of the feversh fustian and flapdoodle that goes to make a presidential contest between politicians of the male persuasion.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER
 Benefic aspects dominate today, although adverse planetary influ- ences are active. The stars encour- age argument and discussion. Tempers may be explosive.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration domestic disagree ments may be numerous. The stars encourage individual opinions that may be stubborn. Heads of families will find younger folk deaf to ad- vice and willful in their decisions.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The out look for the month is most promis- ing. Capital comes under influences encouraging investments in new enterprises. This is date favor able to planning. .o,.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: As the po- litical campaign draws to close there will be intense effort to in- sure success. Party leaders will re- sort to clever strategy to capture votes and again seers predict sur prises when the ballots are counted
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: As the United Nations rejoice over victories, diplomatic problems will become more complex The bene- ficial aspect of Saturn in the third house last night at full moon is reassuring for reconstruction plans. Progress in transport services and shipping industry is foreseen.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of un- usual opportunities. Courage in adopting novel methods in business is recommended.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly gifted and extremely individual. More suc- cess in financial matters than in love affairs is probable.

ably just in time too. Even the task of securing teachers for Alaska has been easy job.
 By the time the Legislature meets next January is probable that the problem of overcrowded schools will have become acute if the present enrolment increase continues
 Not only will present school system need to be expanded, but existing buildings will have to be repaired and brought up to standard Many school buildings have been neglected because of the problem of securing repair materials and because of the high cost of such work during years

POSTWAR PROBLEM HERE NOW

good indication that part of the larger popula- tion that Alaska is supposed to have after the war already is with is in the increased enrolment of most schools throughout the Territory.
 Territorial Commissioner of Education pr. James c. Ryan reports that most of the schools taxed to the limit right to take of additional pupils Furthermore he is of the opinion that what has happened this year is only an indication of what will happen next year.
 Obviously, with schools full up now. a problem already exists If there larger increase next year. it will be big problem.
 Alaska has been fortunate in being able to secure enough teachers during the last several years keep the schools going. Many schools in the States, es- pecialy rural schools, have been closed because teachers could not live the wages offered During the last session of the Territorial Legislature salary increases authorized for Alaska teachers prob

JAP WAR IN oFFING

Whereupon Republican leaders raised terrific furore. It mattered not that Japan was our chief po- tential enemy; that she had launched on a conquest certain to clash with us sooner or later It mattered not that the League shared with us the same identical purpose of trying to stop Japan. Republican suspicion of the League was too deep. Stimson was forced to withdraw U. S. Council Gilbert as an observer.
 Instead Stimson asked U. s. Ambassador Charley Dawes, who came from isolationist Chicago and whom the Isolationists trusted, to keep an eye on League sessions in Paris. Dawes spent most of his time sitting in the Ritz Hotel He knew little of what was happening.

REPUBLICAN, LEADERS FRIGHTENED

Yet simultaneously in London, Secretary Stimson, not knowing that rock-ribbed leaders of the Re- publican Party were scared stiff over even tiny bit of interna- tional cooperation, was holding a press conference proposing that the United States had every obli- gation at least to consult when war clouds gathered.
 In the end, Hoover proved him. self the boss. Consultation, plus the entire Naval Conference, fell flat.
 Later Stimson, who clearly saw a world war coming unless the United States jumped into the breach, did his best to head off war in Manchuria He realized that Japan's temporary" occupation of Manchuria was the beginning of major campaign which would not stop until it led to war.
 Stimson consulted with our im-

mediate neighbors in the Pacific Canada, Mexico, Chile-got their promise of naval bases in case of trouble with Japan. But although he could move them, he could not move the isolationist COP die hards in the Senate or the near sighted leaders of his own party And even if he had the cooperation of Herbert Hoover-which he de- cidedly did not-he could not have moved without the Senate.
 However, Stimson persevered. He instructed the U. s. Consul in Geneva, Prentiss Gilbert, to sit in on League sessions as an observer while the League was debating what steps to take to stop Japan

This columnist was with several Republican leaders when they battled vigorously to overcome this provincial viewpoint of their party
 He was in Havana at the Sixth Pan American Conference when Charles Evans Hughes startled his staid COP friends in the Senate by proposing treaties of arbitration with Latin America, without Sem atorial approval of each arbitra- tion decision. Hughes, however, was ahead of time. His plan of arbi- tration was not revolutionary. But when it got to the Senate, his Republican colleagues held it up interminably.
 This columnist also watched close up while Henry L. Stimson, Secre- tary of State under Hoover, battled at the London Naval Conference of 1930 to put across a consultative pact
 The proposed Stimson pact was most innocuous proposal. It mere ly provided that if there were danger of war the United States promised to sit down with the other nations of the world and consult. There was no obligation to go farther.
 Looking back on what we have done lately, and on what President Roosevelt proposed regarding a world council unhampered by the Senate, the Stim son proposal sounds juvenile. Yet when he pro- posed it in l930 his agitated chief in the White House, MT. Hoover, actually informed a press confer ence that mo consultative pact has been considered at any time dur ing the course of the London con- ference"
 Hoover even sent for the late Walter Strong, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, and berated him because his London correspond ent, Paul Scott Mowrer, had cabled that Stimson proposed a eonsulta- tive pact. Hoover said the story was absolutely false.

Thus the attempt to block Japan petered out, partly because a powerful faction of a powerful po- litical party adhered to it's tradi- tional isolation. Had Stimson re- ceived support from his own party leaders, war with Japan might have been avoided.
