A PIG GOES TO MARKET IN CHINA

Nowhere in the world can the transportation
of livestock to market be compared with the
century-old method still used in this modern
age by the Chinese. Blinded at birth, the pigs
are raised amidst the family homestead. wheth-
er it be a one-room abode or great COM
pound. After several years the pigs, usually
weighing about 300 pounds are tied, feet up,
to wheelbarrow and rolled to town amidst
much squealing on the part of the animal.
Sometimes the market is SO miles away, but
M matter the distance, the pig must be sold. If
there is no sale, the still squeailng hog
is allowed to walk back to the farmers home.
But some day he will be sold, even though
It may mean another 5o-mile jaunt by wheel
barrow.
Chinese prefer wheelbarrow that squeaxs-
keeps the devils away. Air force mechanics
oiled coolies wheelbarrow one day and he
was furious.

International Education

At the request of State Department Of
fcials DR.. Alexander G. Ruthven, president
OF the University Of Michigan, is preparing
a master program for the exchange of teach
ers and pupils among the nations The idea
Is that the more the peoples of the world
know about the culture and manner of life
of their neighbors on this earth, the better
will be the chance Of everybody living in har-
mony.
Doctor Ruthven has not fully drafted his
program but says, truly enough, that inter
national understanding cannot be a one-way
affair. 1T is not enough that foreign students
and teachers shall learn from u.s. we must
tons have to Offer
Among immediate problems which must
be considered and solved by American eoh,-
Gators, DR.. Ruthven says, are the selection OF
students in their no. Glands, the taking of
health precautions, orientation and admission
| to American colleges financial provisions,
housing, preparations in the English languag e
and beginning courses of instruction.

well with individuals. If you know man.

are less likely to dislike him or pick quar-.

Laval To Be Given Up

Laval, it appears is about to be yielded
up by his Spanish protectors, chief OF whom
was Jose Felix Lequerica, foreign minister
in Francois regime, who was ousted when
the cabinet was revamped. Lequerica was in
the Spanish embassy at Paris when France
made its peace with Franco in 1899.
Laval had taken good care to ingratiaSe
himself with the Spanish embassy group long
before that. Lequ erica was frankly pro-Ger-
man during the first World War. Laval chung
to him like leech, and probably owed his
stay in Spain since last May to his influence.
Now that Lequerica's influence is gone,
Laval will have to go back to the city from
which he took off when he fled That is the
destination will be Bologna, Italy, not Paris,
although it is probable that means will be
found to send him there to be executed b.
iogna is in the area over which Field Mar
shall Sir Harold R. Alexander rules He is not
likely to harbor Laval very long.
Naturally Laval wants to avoid trial be.
fore French jury in a French court. His
crimes against France are too great. He
knows full well that he would have little SYM
pathy there. He would prefer an America
jury, it is reported. But he has an incorrect
impression of American juries if he thinks
one would condone his treachery. But he is a
to deal with him. Tn esooner the better.

Senate Approves Charter

With but two dissenting voices, the Senate
of the United States has ratified the San Fran
cisco Security Charter, after some fifty
speeches had been made on the floor in some
thing less than forty hours of debate.
1t is an astonishing record of approval
for a document which is universally acknoW-
lodged 10 be faulty but in which it is conceded
the formula of world peace lies.
The vital factor is that the Senate, which
refused to allow the United States to enter the
League of Nations after the former World
War, is the first legislative body among the
Big Five powers to give the Charter the green
light. The Senate's example will speedily be
followed it is reasonably expected, by all the
signatory powers.
While no document can assure the peace
of the world. this Charter, despite its short
.con'ings, does actually provide the basis for
il. That representatives of fifty nations could
assemble in conference and Notwithstanding
their differences in political systems, educa-
ton, culture, religion and aspirations, create
document with universal peace as keynote,
is the chief reason for believing that the
Charter is fundamentally workable.
1t is to be remembered that our own Con-
stituton was an inadequate instrument which
needed much revision, notably the addition of
the Bill of Rights amendments, but that from
the day Of its final ratification it's basic worth
has been manifest.
1t is inevitable that the Security Charter
will have to undergo revisions, but that does
not mean its fundamental principles, to which
the delegates OF fifty nations subscribed and
by which the fifty nations through their rep
resentatives are committed to abide, are not
sound.
quarter century ago the United States
Senate kept this nation out Of league which
had been formed to enforce world peace. Be-
cause that league lacked teeth, and because
we were not among the member nations, it
failed. The San Francisco Charter was born
with teeth and the United States is the first
Of The major nations to ratify it. If it too
should Ultimately fail, the failure will not be
due to inherent failure but the double-cross.

RICKSHAW BOY, by Lau Shaw,
translated by Evan King (Reynal

BY w. G. ROGERS

translated by Evan King (Reyna
& Hitchcock; S2.57).
Happy Boy, born in the country
goes to Picking fired with the am.
bition to own his own rickshaw.
He is tall, sturdy, handsome,
doesn't drink, smoke or run after
women. To work hard, to save
money, to abide in general by the
precepts practiced by his sage an.
cestors through many centuries
will bring the inevitable reward.
But the city, though he loves il
deeply, teaches him a contrary
lesson. Soon after he buys the
coveted rickshaw with bright
brass horn and polished lacqueD',
soldiers steal it. He starts saving
again, but is robbed. Tiger Girl
substitutes shabbily for his dream
of pure country girl who would
become his wife, and after her
there is Mrs. Hsia with her pale
pink smock, silk trousers and
white and red satin slippers, and
after her, the pox.
The grandfather of Little Horse
tells Happy Boy the sober truth:
the good heart, the brave will, the
strong body are of no use; a man
by his own effort alone is doomed
to failure.

truth must be gained before Truth
can be understood. This sense is
assimilated only as we are honest,
unselfish, loving, and meek. In the
soil of an honest and good heart
the seed must be sown; else il

swinish element in human nature
uproots it. Jesus said, 'Ye do err,

It Is Giving That Counts

We hear men returning from military duty
say: Its so good to be home" And always
all of them insist that Wilmington is the best
place in the world to live.
Then we hear men in the armed forces
departing say that Wilmington is the worst
town Of all. And on inquiry the dissatisfied
ones tell you it hasn't got this and hasn't got
that, and it don't compare with the place they
call home.
Having heard both kinds of testimony for
years. and from people transplanted not only
in war emergency but by new business or
professional connections, we have concluded
that the place we call home whether it be
metropolis or crossroad hamlet, is the best
place in the world chiefly because they have
put something into it-these people who are
aWay-and have put nothing into the conmuni-
ty of their present abode, but expecting
to receive something to which they have
made no kind of contribution.
Soldiers coming back to Wilmington with
conforted hearts probably gave the city the
years of their schooling and the early years
OF their commercial careers. They put their
childhood, their adolescence, their young man.
hood, into Wilmington. They gave it all they
had. Naturally they are happy to be home.
These other soldiers, having given nothing,
complain of Wimington's deficiencies without
realizing they are giving it nothing except a
bad name, and that does not help clear thei,
/, vision of what the trouble really is. Whining
ton is not the place to which they have given
d part of themselves.
The place they call home may have more
to offer than Wilmington, it may have less
in any case it is better, in their opinion, moi
merely for it's advantages or rusticity, but be-
cause they gave it something of themselves
before they were called to war. 1t is in giving
that truest satisfaction lies.
