JAPAN QUITS JAPAN' has quit the league. Legally she can not withdraw, because she has not given two years’ notice and has not lived up to her obligations under the covenant. But practically she is out. and has been out since Mr. Matsuoka and his delegation walked out of the session which unanimously condemned her Manchurian aggression. Japan’s attitude is clarified by the unusually frank and sincere statement of Mr. Matsuoka to the Scripps-Howard newspapers. It is clear that Japan, in her present mood, does not intend to turn back or to allow treaties to stop her march of power on the neighboring Asiatic mainland. She says she is acting in defense of h*r life and death interests. Unfortunately, Japan does not see, or is not willing to admit, that she is helping to wreck the world's peace machinery. She says that a happier and more prosperous Manchuria wall result from her actions. Even if this were granted, for the sake of argument, it has nothing to do with the larger issue. The treaties are the issue—not because of mere idealistic sentiment, but because they are the only thing that stands between the world and a general return to international preparation for war and world war. If Japan can ignore the treaties, other nations certainly will do likewise. If, after a decade and more of experiment and hope, nations learn that treaties can not be trusted, they will put their trust in armaments and force. What Japan and certain European governments fail to understand is that this logic of events is operating in the United States. They are so accustomed to thinking of America as a pacific nation that they do not realize that the United States can go militarist along with the others. Mr. Matsuoka says we are the richest and strongest nation in the world. He might add that it is not to the interest of Japan or others to create a situation which turns the strongest nation of the world into a war power. Mr. Matsuoka knows—and can tell his people who do not know—that the United States docs not want to interfere in the far east and does not want trouble with Japan. We are getting out of the far east, even to withdrawing from the Philippines. But the United States, as a very practical matter, is trying to save the no-war treaties. Unless Japan will accept a settlement within the framework of those treaties, the United Slates, as well as Japan, will be freed from the treaties. Can Japan, with profit to herself, afford to put the rest of the world back on an armed-to-the-teeth basis? Mr. Matsuoka has powerful influence in Japan and he has an intimate understanding of American opinion. If he will carry to his government and his people the fact that America’s pro-treaty policy is equally to the interest of both countries, Mr. Matsuoka will perform a great service. IS BEER NEAR? CERTAIN public officials have shown a disposition to shillyshally over the problem of making beer immediately available in Indiana. The brew' which cheers, but does not inebriate, has been legalized by both national and state governments. Yet there still is some headwagging over the practicability of issuing permits in the near future for its manufacture and sale. Whether this delay is a last-ditch concession to the dry irreconcilable® or whether it is due merely to the innate love of officialdom for red tape it is impossible to say. But whatever the reason, there is no excuse for such temporizing. The plea that every applicant for a permit must be investigated before he can sell is not impressive. Certainly, every community in the state contains hotels, clubs, and retailers whose reputations are so far above reproach that they may be trusted with permits at once. There are many thoroughly respectable brewers in the same category. There is no reason why high-grade institutions and individuals should be penalized while questionable applicants are under inquiry. Governor McNutt has said that he will see to it that some beer is available in the near future. Let him follow through with a definite statement of when and where. The public treasury needs the revenue which beer will bring and the people, in these discouraging times, need the good cheer. CHILD TRAINING IS TESTED A LITTLE less than a year ago a group of New York psychologists got the chance to take over the training of two newly born twin brothers. They set out to give all their elaborate theories of child-training a test. One of the lads, named Johnny, was put through a stiff course of sprouts from the very start—daily courses of exercise, systematic instruction in the use of his limbs, and so on. Jimmie, the other youngster, was pretty much let alone, to develop in his own way. He got the same food and general care that Johnny got, but he was allowed to spend most of his time in the crib, playing with his toes, gurgling and conversing with himself in blissful solitude. The other day the assembled psychologists got the children out and put them through their paces to see which one had developed the more. Johnny, who had had all the training, outshone his brother all the way through. He ex-

celled at climbing stairs, at paddling about in a pool, at manipulating little brain-testing gadgets and at other feats of skill and strength. Jimmie, as a racing fan would say, finished nowhere. But the most interesting thing about the whole business was this: Jimmie, badly outclassed in every test, was nevertheless the happier of the two. Expert Johnny wore a premature frown most of the time. His responsibilities seemed to rest heavily on his wee shoulders. He was serious, very much in earnest, quite engrossed by all his cares. And Jimmie, unskilled and unw'orried, kept wearing a cheerful grin. He was no great shakes as an infant prodigy, and he didn’t care. His failures depressed him not at all. He was, in short, a perfectly happy child. Just how much importance ought to be attached to this fascinating experiment isn’t clear. Probably the psychologists themselves don’t know. But any parent who shares the old feeling that a flock of laughs and a long stretch of utterly carefree happiness are among childhood’s most invaluable possessions will feel the old-fashioned, unscientific regime emerges from this test wdth the greater part of the laurels, A LIFELINE 'T'HE Costigan-La Follette-Wagner hunger relief bill, introduced in congress Monday with administration backing, is a $500,000,000 lifeline thrown in the nick of time toward the nation's 4.000.000 destitute families. With less than $70,000,000 left in the R. F. C. hunger loan fund, that federal cupboard would have gone bare by May. States and communities desperately in need of funds now can breathe more easily, in the assurance that the families of their jobless citizens will not be abandoned by the government. The new bill, unlike the compromise loan measure of last year, is built on sound relief theory and practice. It acknowledges for all time that the succor of starving citizens is a federal as well as a local function. In place of loans, the states will be handed grants in sums sufficient to supplement their own resources. Need will be the criterion. The grants will be administered, not casually by a preoccupied R. F. C. board, but efficiently, by a trained relief administrator. Instead of random relief doles ranging from $6 a month in certain southern states to S3O a month in the larger cities, a minimum and decent relief standard can be fixed, and, to considerable extent, enforced from Washington. The bill, says Senator Wagner, ‘'recognizes that not only must starvation be prevented, but that standards of relief must be lifted, if the growing generation is not to inherit all the disastrous legacies of under-nourishment and demoralization.” Finally, and not least important, is provision for adequate food and shelter for the million or so young men and boys now being kicked from freight yard to freight yard throughout the country. With passage of the pending forestation bill and this wisely drawn measure, two steps in the Roosevelt relief program will have been taken, giving immediate outdoor work relief for jobless men and emergency aid for the hungry. The third step to come is equally important. This is an immense expansion of public works, calculated to start American industry on the road to better days. A TRAGIC EXAMPLE TN case you have wondered whether there is A really any need to have the federal government exercise a far stricter control over stock issues, security speculation and financial operations generally, you might ponder over the tragic scene that took place before Bankruptcy Referee Garfield Charles in Chicago. It was the last day for filing claims against two defunct Insull financial houses and before Charles there rose a mound of worthless paper which weighed a full ton. This tremendous mass of paper represented claims totaling $300,000,000, sent in by some 21,000 investors. Today it is next to worthless. Speaking with moderation, Referee Charles called it “the tragedy of the century.” No form of federal regulation can be too drastic if it prevents a thing like that from happening again. BURDEN OF LOCAL TAXES cause is more popular today than that of economy in government. A magnificent start seems to have been made at Washington, and the spectacle is deeply encouraging. But while we're rejoicing, we ought to remember that the federal government can lighten only a part of our tax load. City, county, and, state governments also collect taxes; and from most of us they collect a good deal more than does the federal government. Unless they, too, can cut their expenditures very sharply, the economies instituted at Washington will be robbed of half of their effect. It is up to us to see that our city councilmen. our county commissioners, and our state legislators understand this. Uncle Sam has shown the way; let’s have some economy all the way down the line now. Let the local governments follow the national government's lead. Then we really can start cheering. AN END TO FEONAGE TTTITH the season at hand for state road * “ work to start in full blast, one action of the state legislature comes in for special commendation. That is the fixing of a minimum wage for laborers on Indiana highway projects. Enactment of this law should put an effective ban on the scandalous practice of peonage bared on several highway jobs last summer, when it was disclosed that common laborers, with no alternative except loss of their jobs, were paid as low as 15 cents an hour. Despite the public clamor, contractors, bent on squeezing every cent of profit out of every project at the expense of their helpless employes, ignored all considerations of fairness and decency to slash wages. Even the threat of the highway commission to blacklist all contractors found guilty of the practice had little effect. Common labor now may be paid not less than 30 cents an hour, as result of the passage

of a law by the special session of the legislature in 1932. This law requires that common labor be paid on the same basis as maintenance labor. The wage scale ts made part of the contracts let by the highway commission. “"The minimum common labor wage scale on federal aid projects is 35 cents an hour, with a limit of thirty hours a week for each man. Even with the law being observed by contractors, the contents of the weekly pay envelope of the highway worker will be pitiful enough, especially when it is considered that the majority of the men who work on the roads are men with families, and many have to keep cars to take them to and from their work, often a long distance from home. For this reason, it behooves the highway authorities to be eternally vigilant and make certain that some grasping contractor does not violate the law. Any attempt to circumvent the wage provision should meet with swift punishment, and everlasting blacklist for the violator in the matter of state contracts. SHAW IS MISTAKEN ■JV/TR BERNARD SHAW seems to be devoting himself chiefly these days to demonstrating that he isn't nearly as smart a man as we thought. His latest contribution to the world's wisdom is the following: “Everybody thinks Mr. Roosevelt is going to do something. He is not going to do anything. He can not do anything. Your fine democratic institutions prevent it.” Against the background of breath-taking accomplishment recorded in Washington during the last few w'eeks, these words look more than a little silly. ” One wonders just what a President would have to do to make Mr. Shaw admit that he had really “done something.” Judging from the way the administration has been going, this year’s Easter rabbit is going to be pulled out of a hat. Whereas this year’s champion April Fool is the man who said, “Oh, Roosevelt isn’t really going to DO anything!” ’ Foreign trade may still be slack, but there is a report that a big schooner is due in New York April 7. , Hitler says he will give full co-operation in the Olympic games in 1936 in Berlin. Probably the biggest event will be chucking the treaty. In the case of the banks, we can see that, after all, all’s well that lends well. Former Insull stockholders turn in a ton of securities, hoping to realize something on their claims. Guilt-edged securities, at that. President Roosevelt used four pens in signing the beer bill. Probably afraid one might run dry. The growing popularity of these horror movies makes it very harrowing to be a heroine. JNot that tlipre really is any greatly increased interest in spiritualism, but a lot of people like to see the ghost walk these days.

M.E.Tracy Says:

THOUGH a little more rabid and unjust, Hitler’s treatment of the Jews is quite in line with his treatment of all people who differ with his notion of how Germany should be governed. Hitler is a one-party man, and a one-party man is against every kind of minority. Indeed, the one-party idea is based on the conception that minorities have no right to exist, much less to express themselves. We call this conception Fascist, but it is as characteristic of Russia under Stalin as of Italy under Mussolini. The name by which a party goes is of small significance if it retains power by suppressing free speech and freedom of the press. Neither is it possible for any party to do that without bringing in the racial and religious element. You simply can not have tolerance under a one-party government. The essence of democracy lies in the right of minorities to form and think. The European philosophy, as represented by Fascism, Communism, and Hitlerism is antidemocratic and utterly at variance with what we Americans hold most sacred. It is equally at variance with English principles and ideals. tt u IT stands for nothing less than restoration of despotism in anew guise, and despotism implies suppression of liberty, whether from a political, racial, or religious standpoint. Liberty can not be dissociated from those influences which inspire people to form convictions and organize. Political liberty is inseparable from racial and religious liberty. Who strikes at one, strikes at all three. When a government sets out to stifle minorities. it must stifle all of them—social clubs, labor unions, churches, business enterprises, and organizations of every other description through which opposition might develop. In seeking to establish absolute control, a party's first object must be the destruction of al formidable sources of opposition. u a a HITLER pays Jewry a great compliment. His violence constitutes nothing short of ■a candid admission that Jews formed the backbone of Germany's liberal movement and that he had no chance of setting up a dictatorship until they were gagged. Like Mussolini and the Russian Communists, he began by assaulting the most dangerous element of opposition. His real assault, however, is against the theory of government which has been developing during the last few centuries and in which our own country has taken the lead. Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin, though appearing progressive in some respects, are the worst reactionaries of modern times. They represent a type of despotism which is all the more pernicious because of its mechanical nature. It is perfectly legitimate for us to recognize and deal with them, but it would be a misfortune if we failed to comprehend the unsound character of their doctrines, or the fact that those doctrines are opposed so utterly to the fundamental principles of liberty that they can not endure.

(I'imes readers are invited ta express their views in these columns. Make your letters short, so all can have a chance. Limit them to 2.5 0 words or less.) Bv Nonpartisan What does our exalted guardian of the bottles mean by his declaration that only well-established restaurants will receive the coveted beer permits? Does this mean that the humble citizen will mingle with the elite in the prominent diningrooms of our fair city to quaff their portion of the foamy fluid? Does this statement show his desire to please the people, or perhaps his appreciation for the creation of his official position? It might just be another proof that the political honey bucket still is in circulation. The excise tax collector and his cohorts would do well to remember that certain baking ingredients, when properly mixed, solved the problem for prohibition sufferers and the price was way below par. While not quite as palatable as the brewers’ product, perhaps, it produced that pleasant glow just as well as the real article will. If no better plan of distribution and price can be formulated, it would be just as well to put this new method of reforming the public back on the shelf. And while the pros and cons save and destroy souls, I suggest that we return to the home treatment for this terrible malady. Take it or leave it. 15y a Taxpayer.

THE diagnosis and treatment of disease in a child sometimes is much more difficult than in an adult, primarily because the physician finds it hard to obtain from the patient information that an adult will give. Nothing is so likely to worry a sensitive parent as a chronic cough which keeps the child awake at night and which promptly is conjured by an imaginative mind into a fear of tuberculosis, bronchitis, or some other serious ailment. A cough is an explosive discharge of air from the lungs, usually with the purpose of removing some source of irritation from the mucous membranes of the breathing tract. The cough may take place spontaneously, due to impulses passing from the nerves of the irritated membranes to the brain, or it may be a voluntary cough. There are certain regions in the

The Cynic!

Right This Wrong By an American Protestant. \ RE the Jews of the world going to stand by idly while Hitler, in Germany, spreads terror and destruction among their coreligionists? Are they going to allow that misguided chancellor to wreck havoc on their brethren, without striking a blow in self-defense? Let no one be deceived concerning the ill-timed reports now hastening out of Germany that Hitler does not approve of, or that Hitler is trying to prevent, that medieval program of bigotry, which we all know too well is now taking place in Germany. Those reports are being disseminated at the suggestion of Hitler; suggestion backed by a gun in each hand. If the Jews of the world have a spark of self-respect left, and I think they have, they will unite in an economic boycott of German products and goods, as a protest against this unwarranted and uncalled-for conduct. And in doing so, they will have the sympathetic co-operation of thousands of their fellowcountrymen, who believe that such methods as are now being used in Germany are inconsistent with modern ideas of enlightened civilization. conscious.

throat and in the larynx which are more sensitive than others. The sensitivity of the mucous membranes of the breathing tract, including those of the windpipe and of the bronchial tubes, becomes lessened the farther one goes into the lung. Movement of the lung involves a new area of irritation and may set up coughing after coughing temporarily has quieted. A collection of mucous or of pus in the breathing tubes often will stimulate coughing. Dr. Alan Moncrieff, a noted British physician, who has specialized in diseases of children, recently has reviewed the various causes of coughing. As has been mentioned, inflammation at any point in the breathing tract will set up a cough. When there is enlargement of the adenoids

begged to be taken away. Time went on. All were bleeding freely. More police and the first aid squad showed up. They decided they must get an ambulance, never laying a hand on the injured. They hurried away with hundreds of cars still there, with any one ready to take the injured people two blocks where the best attention could be given them. There they sat, still begging to be taken somewhere. More questioning by the police, searching for liquor, eager to see if a violation had been committed, panting to make an arrest. After a time the first aid car returned. The driver stating that the ambulance was on the way. Twentyfive minutes later the ambulance arrived. Now please tell me why those people could not have been lifted out like the first woman was and rushed to the near hospital and given quick attention. And the time taken up getting police reports and running over one another might have saved the life of the woman who died.

in the back of the nose, this interferes with breathing exactly as will a button or a piece of chalk pushed into the nose. Coughing follows in a desire to get rid of the obstruction. If there is infection of the adenoids with the formation of pus, the infectious material trickling down the back of the throat also will cause a cough. Moreover, if there is irritation of the tubes passing from the nose to the ear, a cough may develop. A young child seldom complains of sore throat, unless it is quite painful, but inflammation of the tonsils or diphtheria may bring about sufficient irritation or obstruction to cause a cough of a characteristic barking quality. Competent examination by a physician. who listens to the sounds of the lungs, will indicate that the lungs are not involved, and promptly place the blame on the infection in the throat.

up as a very poor sort of person for authoritative powers, and leaves poor papa in what I consider a mean hole. That he should be asked to assume the role of executioner for a crime he did not see committed is a-' unjust procedure all the way round. And I don’t think it is a successful corrective. Children do not hold grudges unless they are subjected to methods such as these. They do, however, understand anger, because they experience it. And like most adults they are ready to forgive anger. Therefore, the mother who strikes her child in a passion should make haste to ask his pardon for her impetuous wrath. By doing so, she probably will make him a friend and confidant for life.

It Seems to Me BY HEYWOOn BROUN

THE suggestion has been offered —and it seems to me a good one—that some exception be made in our immigration .restrictions in favor of political refugees from Germany. Probably the administrative loopholes are too small to be of much use. I would favor direct legislation. It is difficult at the present time to get approval for any lowering of the bars. On account of the economic depression, we are likely to icgard each new arrival as one move mouth to feed in an unemployment crisis. But it is shortsighted not to realize that certain potential citizens are worth their weight in either gold or foodstuffs. There can be no crisis so acute that we can afford to deny entry to such names as Schurz and Brandeis. The men and women who came to us from Germany in 1848 constituted the highest type of immigration which we have known. Much of what we are today is the result of their offorts. A similar situation has arisen today. The persecutions of Hitler fall chiefly upon the finest elements in the population. Many of the leading figures in the intellectual and artistic world are in hiding or in prison. The Nazis are visiting vengeance upon people like Max Reinhardt, Dr. Teodor Wolff and Dr. Georg Bernhard. In other words, international Babe Ruths arc going begging. I think that America should put in a bid. We should offer a haven and hospitality not only to the great ones of Germany who are fallen upon evil days of nightmare, but to all who are oppressed and put upon because of belief. There must always be room here for such as these. tt a a Important Birthday SIXTY years ago in the month of March on a date not specifically identified Christopher Lat ha m Sholes, printer, invented a device which he called a “writing machine.’ ’ In the early days of its existence, this grandmother of the typewriter was a clumsy contrap- ! tion. Indeed, the first models were sold with the services of a young female expert tied up in the contract. Being born more than half a century before my time, it was not possible for me to strike up any such romantic bargain keys with two fingers. I imagine that in the beginning Christopher Latham Sholes was concerned with the benefits which !he could convey upon trade and j commerce. Quite possibly he had | no conception of the fact that this column never would have been written but for the fact that he invented the typewriter. If he had known it is more than possible that he would have said: “Whoa, Jenny! Let’s turn around and go back to the Old North Church, irom which we started.” tt n tt Migh tße Chagrined BUT if Mr. Sholes feels a justifiable disappointment at the purposes to which some of his machines have been put, he need only look around and observe how vastly literature has been affected by his invention. Possibly he will rest more comfortably in his grave if the whisper comes to his ear that there never would have been such a novelist as Sinclair Lewis but for the typewriter. No one could have the patience and the industry to jot down the small details of yards both back and front with pencil, quill, or pen. There could have been no “Main Street” but for the labor-saving device first perfected by Mr. Sholes. And if that is not enough to satisfy the old gentleman that his life was not spent in vain, somebody might tell him about Dreiser. I’m not the person to tell anybody about Dreiser. I have read no two-volume novel since I flunked out of my last college course, which made a point of required reading. But I think that even the mast fervent of Dreiser partisans would have to admit the master hardly could have reached his present eminence without the aid of a friendly keyboard. Surely nobody could expect him to compile in pencil all the research material which went into “An American Tragedy.” * a a The Graces of a Quill IT may be that something of grace went out of wrtiing when the last of the quill pen authors took to his final sick bed. In typing one is rather more likely to seek the shortest distance between two points, since he lacks any craftsman’s satisfaction in setting clown one little word after another. But when the Sholes celebration comes, the largest contingent in the parade should be made up of newspaper men. The ease and the indolence which we all enjoy we owe to him. Nobody could supply all those hungry columns without the aid of a machine and the well-remember-ing keyboard which says, “Now that you know the way, come again.” (Copyright. 1333, by The Times) Maytime BY MALCOLM BIGGS Robins in the treetop, Blossoms in the grass, Green things a-growing Everywhere you pass.
