It Seem to He HEVWOOD BROUN ** A DDED point was given to this warning last Saturday in a speech made in Detroit by former justice George N. Clarke of the Michigan supreme court. He declared that 90 per cent of the professors in the United States are teaching com* munism to thnr pupils. This is appalling! It can not be ignored!” I quote from the New York American, and I rise to comfort Mr. Hearst. It is not appalling, and it can be ignored easily. Mr. Hearst is a newspaper man of long experience and no little promise, and I suggest that m such cases as that of ex-Justice George N. Clarke the ordinary rules of any good city room should be applied. Let us go into fantasy for a moment and assume that on one of the Hearst papers there is a star renorter named Joe Blotz. The city editor's name

is Stanley Blotz. but they are not related. Well, this Joe bounds in one late afternoon and says, "Stanley, I have one of the biggest stories of the year. I just heard a former justice of the Michigan supreme court say that 90 per cent of the professors in the United States are teaching communism to their pupils. Will you take five columns on it?” Ban Reaction of Mr. Blotz STANLEY BLOTZ leaned back and puffed thoughtfully on his cigar. "Gee.” he said, "it's

I can remember back to the days when if you didn't like a mar you just called him a pro-German’ and let it go at that. You didn't have to prove it. Furthermore. Joe Blotz. have you any idea how many colleges and universities there are in this country? Don't bother to answer. I'll tell you approximately. The 1932 education directory of the department of tne interior lists something more than six hundred. The University of California, in Berkley, has 1.750 teachers. Fven if we are using the word ‘professor in a precise sense, there will still be from six to ten thousand to deal with in the entire country. "Ninety per cent of 10.000 is 9.000. In other words, the old retired judge to whom you listened was stating that 9.000 individuals scattered from Orono.- Me., to Abilene, Tex., are at the present time teaching communism. In order to know that he would have to possess an all-seeing eye, an allhearing ear and a bicycle. a an A Matter of Opinion "TPHE old gentleman was not stating a fact. He was merely airing an opinion and calling it a v fact. If I may attempt to coin a phrase he was Wirting.” “But I think it's appalling,” said Joe Blotz. “It can t be ignored. What shall I write?” "Sit down and dash of! the word ‘accuracy’ one thousand times," said Stanley Blotz, "and then get the hell out of here." William Randolph Hearst should have by his side a Stanley Blotz to pluck at his sleeve now and then and sav. "If you please, Mr. Hearst. don't be silly.” And that Blotz might remind his chief of past circumstances in which Mr. Hearst himself suffered from precisely the same sort of treatment which he is now giving to Felix Frankfurter, Jerome Frank, Benjamin Cohen and Landis. William Randolph Hearst opposed our entrance into the World war. In the light of subsequent events many will agree that his position was a sound one. But at the time ideas which he advanced were not answered or debated by his adversaries. They merely shouted "Pro-German!" and drew cartoons in which Mr. Hearst was pictured as a serpent coiled in the flag. Avery sane point of view was beaten down and thwarted by the arousing of mob hysteria. Mr. Hearst made a good fight of it, but in the end he gave up and took on conformity.

Today s Science BY DAVID DIETZ

ANEW victory was chalked up for Professor Albert Einsten at the annual meeting of the American Philosophical Society, the nation’s oldest scientific society, now in session in Philadelphia. And with it, the stuff out of which this world is made became more vague and shadowy and the nature of the universe became yet stranger. The victory was scored by Dr. W. F. G. Swann, director of the Bartol research foundation of Swarthmore. Pa., one of the world's greatest physicists. Dr. Swann told how many experiments conducted at the Bartol laboratories during the last year in which radium rays, gamma rays and cosmic rays had been used to bombard atoms of matter, had revealed the conversion of matter into energy and energy into atom. In every case, he said, the phenomena obeyed the so-called mass-energy law of Einstein. According to this law, the energy equivalent of a given amount of matter is its mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. With this work of Dr. Swann came the verification of the third great startling theory proposed by Professor Einstein in 1905. In that year he published three papers. One was the special theory of relativity, the second was the quantum theory, and the third, entitled "The Inertia of Energy." which set forth the mass-energy relationship already described. nun \\/ITH relativity, space and time lost their old ▼ / absolute qualities. Measurement of length and of time became things which changed with the motion of the observer. With the quantum theory, light, once thought of as waves, was split up into little bullets of energy called quanta. And now the atoms of matter have lost their solidity. Under the proper circumstances, they melt away into energy. Under others, they can be materialized out of the right kind of light. In the course of his remarks. Dr. Swann explained a number of ways in which the behavior v of the atom violates everything which might be expected on the basis of old-fashioned ideas. Each atom has a nycleus composed of protons and electrons. But strangely enough, as Dr. Swann explained, the more of these particles in a nucleus, the smaller it becomes. W’hen an atom is smashed, the proton or other particle which comes hurtling out of the nucleus is larger than the nucleus itself. Apparently, nature is like the magician who pours a gallon of water into a pint bottle and then removes a family of rabbits out of an opera hat. Dr. Swann also discussed recent experiments at the Bartol laboratory upon the subject of cosmic rays. From these experiments, he said that he was convinced that the rays were electrified particles of extremely high electrical charges. a 8 a THIS lines up Dr. Bartol with Dr. Arthur H. Compton, who says that the rays are charged particles and puts him on the other side of the fence from Dr. R. A. Milliken. who claims that they are energy rays. He said that recent experiments showed that in some collisions between cosmic rays and atoms more than 5.000 particles were knocked out of the atoms. Explaining this phenomena, he sad that it was likely that the original cosmic ray knocked neutrons out of the first atom it hit, which in turn disrupted other atoms. Dr. Henry Norris Russell, famous astronomer of Princeton university, told the society that a number of chemical compounds had now been identified in the atmospheres of both the sun and toe stars. At one time it was supposed that all elements existed in the atomic state in the sun. Among the compounds mentioned by Dr Russell were carbon monoxide, nitrogen, hydride, oxygen hydride, oxygen nitrate, oxygen carbide, hydrogen carbide and titanium oxide.

CHINA—SICK DOWAGER OF ASIA

Nation to Stand Aloof In Case of Russo-Japanese War

<Thi* It the fourth of a series of five articles on the Chinese situation, bv William Philip Simms, noted SerippsHoisard foreign editor, now touring the world for The Times. It is of special interest and timeliness because of Japan's sharp warnina to the world against interference in Chinas affairs. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor 'Copyright. 1934 by N'EA Service, Inc.) NANKING, April 25.—Startling as it may sound offhand, China would join neither side in event of war between Russia and Japan. So Dr. Wang Ching-wei, president of China's Executive Yuan and minister of foreign affairs, told me. in an exclusive interview at the foreign office here. After Japan's seizure of four of China's richest provinces, her attack on Shanghai, and her standing threat against all North China, the world generally has believed that China would jump at the chance to help any country defeat Nippon. That would seem to be her only chance. Somewhat surprised, I asked President Wang why. "China," he replied in a low voice, “stands to lose in such a war, no matter w’hich side wins. B B FAR from desiring war between Japan and the Soviet Union so we may fish in troubled waters, our most earnest wish is for peace. “If Russia should be decisively defeated. China would be left at the mercy of a militaristic neighbor. There would be nothing to prevent a further advance into this country. “Should Japan be defeated, there would be nothing to check our other powerful neighbor.” China and Russia are now' on most friendly terms. But the Chinese have been trained to think in decades, and even centuries. Now and for a long time to come, China's security, in large measure, depends upon some kind of balance of power in the far east. b b n “PHOULD these two countries O go to war, therefore,” Dr. Wang continued, “China could hardly choose sides. On the contrary, she would seek to keep out of it and pin her faith on the League of Nations and America to save her from the aftermath.” Here was another surprise. Most Chinese leaders with whom I had talked were frankly skeptical of the League's value to China in her time of peril.

TODAY and TOMORROW B B B B By Walter Lippmann

I'j'Oß the past week the Japanese government has been broadcasting declarations that it is now the master of the whole Far East. Jepan, we are told, is to be the judge of what relations China may have with the western nations, and. while existing treaties are to be respected, Japan is to say what those treaties mean. These declarations have caused a great sensation throughout the world. Not for a long time has any one power spoken quite so sharply to all the other powers.

Apparently these declarations are meant to be spectacular in their defiance of Western sensibilities. Until they were made Japanese diplomacy always has sought to explain away the Japanese advance in China. Ever since September, 1931, the advance has been proceeding. But it has proceeded to the accompaniment of explanations that were intended to conciliate world opinion. Japan has been acting boldly but speaking softly. She ha acted first and then explained. Now suddenly she makes great declarations about what she is going to do, and they are couched in language and delivered in a form which is, to say the least, unusual among the great nations. What is the purpose of this deliberately defiant attitude? Is it the expression of militarists w’ho do not know the conventions of diplomacy? Almost certainly that is not the explanation. For the declarations are being re-enforced by Japanese diplomates who are quite as well aware as any one what they sound likp. This is a concerted and deliberate move. B 8 tt WHEN one looks at the substance of these declarations one finds in them announcements that Japan will oppose "technical and financial assistance" to China if Japan thinks this will encourage China to resist Japanese ideas. This might include our wheat and cotton loan to China, the projects of the league to rehabilitate China, and the sale of airplanes and other munitions by American and other western firms. Now, the question is: How does Japan propose to stop Europeans or Americans from dealing with China on terms satisfactory to China and themselves? By declaring war? It seems most unlikely. There would appear to be only one way in which Japan can effectively prevent the western nations from lending or selling to China as they see fit; that is to have China herself reject the loans, the technical assistance, the goods of which Japan disapproves. If China will not borrow, buy. cr be assisted, except as Japan gives consent, then the policy announced to Tokio will be effective. For no one in America or Europe will force loans, goods or assistance on China if China rejects them. It is therefore reasonable to suppose that the Japanese purpose is not primarily to frighten away the western nations, but to overawe the Chinese. Looked at from this point of view the policy becomes intelligible. On the other hand, it is a threat of force against China which Japan is in a position to make good; on the other, it is a defiance of the powers, supposed to be China's friends, to which those powers are not likely to make an impressive reply. b a b IN the Far East prestige is a mighty weapon and to have defied the whole world success-

Younger Chinese statesmen are playing an important part in the efforts to lead their nation out of chaos, and in this gigantic undertaking Wang Ching-wei. left, has jpla.ved an important role.

"The League and America did not save China in Manchuria or at Shanghai," I observed. “What leads you to believe they would be any more effective in future?” “I’m afraid you mistook my meaning.” he said. “The existing world peace machinery is widely discredited I know. I do not expect it to prevent war between Japan and Russia, if that is to ccme. "But what I do foresee is that, should it come, the world would face such a frightful situation afterwards—regardless of which side won—that it would be obliged to act, if only to save itself. And to save itself, it would, of necessity, have to save China along with it.” 808 PRESIDENT WANG did not pursue the subject further. There came a silence. Outside it was getting dark. The room was filling with deep shadows.

fully and spectacularly would greatly strengthen Japan's position. The result would be to isolate China by showing the Chinese that they have no real friends in the west, that they can not resist Japan which successfully has told all the rest of the world to keep its hands off. This may break the resistance of the Chinese and cause them to surrender and accept terms dictated in Tokio. Once the Chinese government acecpts the Japanese policy there will be little that the outer world can do about it. 8 8 8 In shaping our policy there are certain basic considerations to be taken into account. Unlike Great Britain. Russia, France, we have no special interests on the Asiatic mainland. We are withdrawing from the Philippines. Thus in the whole great region in which Japan claims predominance we have no particular political interests of our own to protect. The independence and the integrity of China we are bound to respect, but not to enforce as against others. Our fundamental

In the gloom his low, resonant voice sounded prophetic. The Chinese were an ancient race long before the coming of Christ, and there was some of the accumulated wisdom of the millenniums, it seemed to me, in what he had said. Here was one of the most solemn warnings the world has had since Woodrow Wilson told the peacemakers at Paris that only a world leagued together to insure peace could save humanity from suicide. I broke the spell. "So China does not expect to participate in a far eastern war to get back Manchuria,” I said. “No,” the oriental philosopherstatesman replied. “She lacks the power. It would not improve her position. “Besides, Manchuria has not been taken from China. It is

■The DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

WASHINGTON. April 25.—While suspicious congressmen have been looking under their beds for Dr. Wirt’s reds, an actual Fascist movement has been getting its roots firmly into American soil. Most prominent of the many Fascist organizations is the Silver Shirts, strong in California, but with branches in various parts of the United States. The recent attempt of Professor Moley to expose the Nazi movement in America actually served as a great boost for the Silver Shirts. Moley’s magazine article brought thousands of dollars in membership dues flowing tt Silver Legion headquarters. Chief of the Silver Shirts is William Dudley Pelley, a war-time Y. M. C. A. man. who from his Washington headquarters sends out highly "confidential” warnings to American business men "for as low as $25 a year.” "The news censorship is tighter than you have the faintest conception of.” Chief Pelley warns, in describing the horrible conditions in the nation's capital. "The United States is being swiftly and painlessly sovietized by Communistic cliques calling themselves religious groups. These are the Federal Council of Churches, the Central Council of American Rabbis, and the National Catholic Welfare Council. “Mark these three well, you American business men,” Silver Shirt Pelley continues. "For if you fail to take note of what they are attempting it is going to affect you with more devastating results.” Chief Pelley then reveals the startling information that the revolutionary activity these “Communist-religious groups” are engaged in is none other than an attempt to persuade congress to “increase income taxes.” 8 8 8 8 8 8 HIS New York cronies are amazed at the change that has come over Vincent Astor since he has been host to President Roosevelt on the Nourmahal. Astor, inheritor of the richest real estate in New York city, has become a paladin of the new deal. He berates his clubmates for their extravagance and loudv defends the new deal on all occasions.

At a recent dinner party he was seated next to Mrs. Harold Talbott, who had on three or four diamond bracelets. Astor took one look at them and protested loudly: “Why, how can you wear those bracelets when men and women are starving!’’ “I am wearing these bracelets, Mr. Astor, because my husband, gave them to me. And I may add, that he makes his money himself. He had no grandfather to leave it to him.’’ nun SENATOR BILL BORAH is going to be in the news in a big way this coming summer. The great Idaho orator and independent plans to take the stump to discuss the new deal. Every section of the country will hear him. Borah is not running for anything. His senatorial term still has three years to go. Sixty-nine years old, he long since has laid aside all presidential aspirations. Borah simply to revive the old American Town-meeting custom of discussing publicly public * issues. Asa liberal, Borah finds much in the Roosevelt administration he approves and supports. * But as an old-fashioned, uncompromising Constitutionalist, the shaggy-haired warrior is deeply alarmed over certain tendencies to do away with the traditional American political system of checks and balances, and to substitute centralization of authority in individuals. Borah also is strongly of the opinion that certain new deal innovations, the NRA particularly, are fostering monopolies, annihilating the “little fellow.” All these views he plans to air, not for the purpose of attacking the administration, but to bestir an alert public discussion. He has already received many invitations to speak, plans to map out an itinerary as soon as congress adjourns, then launch his campaign, man WITH many millions unemployed, with many thousands still undernourished, the

twenty years younger. He could easily be in his middle thirties. But only time could make his voice as mellow as it is, and only a tremendous amount of thinking could give it its tone. Tall, well built, he affects conventional Chinese robes. What he said about Manchuria, I was later to hear repeated in high places many times over. The Chinese have a tremendously calm way of looking at their country's almost appalling plight. Most of them admit things probably will get worse before they get better, but, as Vice-Min-ister of Foreign Affairs Hsu Mo expressed it to me, in his perfect English: "Yet, I somehow have the utmost confidence that, in the end, China can't lose.” Next China’s Salvation Is World Problem.

United States army has on its hands a large quantity of canned meat which it can not give away, can not sell, can not use itself. This is not because the meat is bad. On the contrary it is rated as above grade. The one difficulty is that the meat comes from Argentina. And an executive order has been issued prohibiting the army, navy or any relief agency from using foreign meat. The order caught the army with a large quantity of canned meat purchased in a hurry to feed the C£C. At that time there was virtually no meat canned in this country. American meat packers did their canning in Argentina. Since the army can not eat the meat, give it away or sell it, the only alternative is to keep it. Good canned meat will keep for about twenty years.

Fdir Enough mom THE newspaper publishers of the country are holding their annual convention in New York this week and I notice that among the most important and successful of them are men who used to be reporters, rewrite men, sports editors and desk hands themselves. The success of such newspapermen is not tha whole answer to the problems which the new Newspaper Guild, the union of the editorial department, is trying to solve. But. some of them, to my knowledge, have come up from S3O a week to

the big. fat. income brackets and offices on the sunny side of the building in the last fifteen or twenty years and I think the editorial side should realize that the best way to get the most out of the editorial side is to get out of it after a, while. The money simply is not there and never will be there at? long as it is possible to teach kids to ask questions aiound police stations and write readable accounts of things which have happened. This is not a difficult science. The kids keep coming on and they adapt themselves and learn the tricks of the business so quickly that the market

price of editorial talent is held down. The reporter or rewrite man who gets SIOO or $l5O a week is a luxury to the management and the man or woman who wants to pass those figures had better look around. BUB Pan Is Loir I WILL admit that there are exceptions, but exceptions only confuse the case. The average pay for reporters and all the journalists on that which, with gentle flatten - , they were calling the professional side of the business a little while ago, is low’. This may mean simply that the talent required for this kind of work is not very highly specialized. It may hurt the feelings of some members of the craft to see this suggested, but there is an old. sentimental notion that newspaper people are literary and uncommonly wise. This belief persists in spite of repeated, unhappy demonstrations that star rewrite men or writing reporters are not necessarily able to turn out pay-copy for other mediums than the daily newspaper. And newspaper men always are finding out by sad experience that a headful of miscellaneous information about local or even national people and affairs may not be such wisdom as any one but a newspaper would cate to buy. They had a union in St. Paul years ago which affiliated with the mechanical trades on the papier and went out on strike in a great fit of loyalty when some of the boys in the mailing room h&d a little trouble with the management. Within a few hours the staff had been filled with students at much less Pay than the regular hands had been receiving. They couldn't write pretty pieces right off. but they could get a story told somehow and the customers are not quick to detect a change in the artistic quality of a paper which has become a habit. B B B Family Man Loses STUDENTS are bad medicine for working people, anyway. They can live like coolies in barracks with double-deck beds and sustain life on apples and crackers. The family man of the employe type is crowded hard by student competition in university towns and especially so in the small towns. The mechanical trades had to be very tough in order to win the rights and rates which they now en.ioy in the newspaper business. If a make-up man on the. editorial side of the make-up table insists on inserting an inch of type in a form with his own hand and makes an issue of it. the whole mechanical staff of the paper can be called out. If the paper buys a page of canned journalism all ready for printing the mechanics working in the plant must be allowed to set up an equivalent volume of type and destroy it. Otherwise one workman in a central plant in New York, for example, would be doing in one man-hour the work of mechanics in all the plants which happened to buy the story. I doubt that the. time will come when the editorial side will have similar rules. The editorial people are not. that tough in their dealings, and anyway many, if not most of them, do not intend to remain editorial hands on newspapers but are just passing by. They are going on their way to be magazine assignment men. magazine fiction men, novelists, scenario men in Hollywood, advertising men, editors', publishers, playwrights, lobbyists, press-agents, and secretaries to mayors, congressmen and senators.

Your Health BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN -

npHE conduct of your family life depends a great deal on its freedom from illness and fatigue. This problem is so great that it has concerned not only physicians, but sociologists and psychologists, and all those responsible for maintaining the status of our civilization. Since the mother is usually the center of family life, the condition of her health is probably fundamental. She really is the engineer who runs the family machine; the father no doubt being the provider of the fuel for the operation of the machine, and the remaining members of the family those who benefit by its operation. If the mother is constantly overworked, constantly fatigued, and constantly driven by stress and strain, all family relationships are likely to suffer. The food may be inadequate, the clothing of tha other members of the family not in proper repair or in a proper state of cleanliness, the home itself disordered and disturbed. FURTHERMORE, constant physical strain is bound to reflect itself in mental irritability and thus bring about dissension and nervous response on the part of all members of the family. All aspects of the health of the mother are intensified by certain periods in her life. During the period of child bearing and during those functional periods when the woman's entire physiology changes, stresses and strains are likely to be particularly severe. On such occasions, it is the duty of the other members to guard the health of the family by taking from her such burdens as may be assumed by them and avoiding mental clashes which leave those involved exhausted and trembling. After the mother has passed middle age she should have a physical examination at least once each year to detect any of the physical changes which threaten her life. X* tt tt SUCH a complete physical examination is made with a view to finding as soon as possible the results of wear and tear on the heart and on the kidneys and also the possibility of tumor growths in the breasts or in the organs concerned with childbirth. It has been definitely established that such precautionary examinations will save vast numbers of lives and in addition will prolong greatly the lives of many women. WHILE the health of the mother is exceedingly important, it must be realized that many a father carries his own burdens within his own mind and avoids sharing them with other members of the family. Particularly in times of financial depression is the man of the family, who wants to appear successful and leader-like to those who depend upon him, likely to keep his burdens a secret. If the mother and the children are anxious to conserve the provider as long as possible in a state of health which will permit him to do his utmost, they must anticipate stresses and strains and do their best to help and relieve. A real family life is one in which each memuer realizes his own responsibilities and carries them fully.
