Low Birth Rate Linked With Peace Manchoukuo Spokesman Presents Views on World’s State. BY GRETTA PALMER Times Special Writer NEW YORK, May 24 —lt seems a far cry from a discussion of a nation’s treatment of its women to the size of its navy. But Captain George Bronson Rea, unofficial representative of Manchoukuo in Washington, binds them neatly together and wraps religion,

birth control and pacifism into the same bundle. “The position of woman is largely geographical,” Captain Rea says. “Start with the Anglo-Saxons in Great Britain—the race which grants women almost complete equality —and then turn your eyes toward the east. “You come first to France,

where the women are held a little cheaper than in England. You come next to Germany, where the ‘kirche, kuche, kinder’ attitude prevails. In Italy, women tre regarded as the ornaments of a man's leisure hours. In Turkey, a woman is only an expensive amusement. “And then, as you work farther east, through India, China, and Japan, you encounter a point of view about women which is strictly utilitarian. A woman is valued because of her ability to give a man sons.” “And so the birth rate grows by leaps and bounds. And so we have a situation in which Japan, with a population of 70,000.000, shows an annual increase of a million and will have within its empire 120,000,000 in the next twenty years. There are 500.000.000 Chinese—in the next decade there will be 100.000,000 more.” Sons Assure Support “Perhaps,” I hazarded, “they need half a dozen Margaret Sangers?” “What can a Margaret Sanger dc in a country whose religion is based on ancestor worship?” he asked. “And American man takes out insurance for support in his old age. A Chinese marries one or two or four wives and has as many sons as possible. He knows that, with their reverence for age. the boys will support him after he retires and that they will tend his grave when he has died. When a people bases its whole philosophy of life on fertility, you can not stem the tide of increased population by birth control. “And where do you think that these added Orientals are going to go? Already they are too numerous for the countries where they live They are on the margin of starvation half the time. Nature, by her brutal methods of population control. will cut down their number by famine and plague if they stay within their borders. But they are not going to remain there if there is any other place, more comfortable, for them to go.” Navies Held Necessary “Shall the Orient send her excess population into Russia or across the Pacific? That is the problem we. as Americans, must decide. The struggle between these racial groups has already started—if the United States had not recognized Russia, and therefore given her a kind of moral support, I am convinced that Japagi would have declared war on Russia before now. Perhaps, in time, she will. “The countries which preserve a patriarchal, biblical attitude toward women’s function are the countries which are looking jealously at any nation which has more land than is essential to preserve existence. They are looking jealously toward America. “And that is why I believe that a country whose people hold women highly, practice birth control and have monogamy must maintain a powerful fleet and navy in order that its abundant acres shall not be invaded by any country whose population is increasing at a most alarming rate.” Daughters of ’9B will entertain with a party tonight at the home of Miss Florence Gray, 2117 Nowland avenue.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Tell your troubles to Jane Jordan, who will help you solve them by her answers in this column. Write vour letter now! Dear Jane Jordan—l was married at 18 and was easily influenced by my husband. He told me what to do and when to do it. I am the mother of six lovely children. At first my husband’s work

kept him away from home most of the time. He had plenty of money until the depression struck us, and he hasn’t had a paying job since. Since then he has grown more cruel and despicable than ever. He never has wanted me to

go any place, and if I do it means a terrible fight, with insults and unbearable language. I have done odds and ends of work to make money, and have been a real slave in my own home. My people have helped and helped, but he only expects more. He has had many chances but misused them by gambling and horses. He tells me to get out, but I don’t want to give up my children. He is a very selfish type, and says he doesn’t love me any more. It is just that he can not have his pockets full of money for his own use. The children and I are always uneasy when he is around for he is always finding fault. I am so full of worry I could write forever but just want to see what you can tell me. WORRIED MOTHER. Answer—The depression has been a potent agent in bringing to light the worst in mean characters. Many people whose essential maladjustment to life passes unnoticed in times of prosperity will disintegrate as soon as they are exposed to unusual stress and strain. The tendency to react in an unhealthy manner was there all the time, but they were much more bearable when they had adequate financial means for amusement and recreation. The unemployed head of a family reacts to his feelings of insecurity and humiliation in a variety of ways. Your husband, who was never any too considerate of others, now finds his only satisfaction in being a brute and a boor. * ff ff Dear Jane Jordan I am 30 years old, the mother of two darling children. I have been married about twelve years and up to last year I never though of going out with other men. I met a man in a casual way some time ago and he talked me into the idea of going out with him. I did not realize the seriousness of it and had several dates* with him. My husband found out about it and now says he wants a divorce. He says I am o. k. as a friend, but he does not want me for his wife. I have told him that I do not want him to leave me and that I love no one but him, and will do everything I can to make him forget my mistakes, but he insists that he will never forget regardless of what I do to make amends. I feel as if I can not live without him and want you to tell me if < he isn’t a litlte too severe with me. Why is it a man can step out for a litlte fun and be forgiven when men are not willing to give a wife another chance to be true? SORRY. Answer —Evidently he regards his wife as a piece of property instead of a human being. His property rights have been violated and he is furious and sulky. I do not know whether he will get over it or not, but you should certainly stop humbling yourself to earth to please him when his heart remains untouched. Os course, you made a mistake by deceiving him. It would have been much better if each of you frankly had other friendships to provide variety. Anybody gets tired of ceaseless companionship with one person and longs to talk to someone else once in a while. Where such harmless friendships are forbidden, it’s a great temptation to deceive. Dear Jane Jordan—When I first had a date with my boy friend he said he would not go with a girl unless she came across. I’m crazy about him and willing to sacrifice everything for him, but he won’t even touch me. He says he isn’t going to ruin my life for he intends to be a bachelor. He has seen too much of married life, and has to support his family. Why does he still come around for dates if he is intending to be a bacheipr? I want him even if I have to ruin my life, but he won’t have it that w-ay. What do you think about it? M. Answer—Your boy friend feels instinctively that your feeling is so intense that he can not share it and he is unusually honest If he did as you wished you would become a nuisance to him and he

doesn’t want to be bothered. This doesn’t in the itast mean that he doesn’t enjoy your company, but he doesn’t want to become involved in the emotional maze that would result if he became your lover. a u u Dear Jane Jordan—First of all, I would like to say that I do not agree with Mrs. E. S., who makes such ridiculous statements against you and the advice you give. Considering that you know nothing about the individuals who write, except what they choose to tell, I do not see how any one could do better than you do. On the same night that Mrs. E. S.’s letter appears, I notice another one from a reader saying that the “other woman” should be tarred and feathered. That’s another broad statement. I married when I was quite young, too young to know what it was all about, and I lost my husband to another woman, but I do not hate her. lam married to a second husband now, but the fact that another woman won my first husband has not embittered me or caused me to be jealous or suspicious. I was cut to the quick at the time, but I’m glad I gave him a divorce. I know the woman to be a fine, decent girl who could not more help loving him than she could help living. Today they are happy and my husband and I are happy. SALLY. Answer—l am glad to print your ; stter for the benefit of wives who hink their lives are over because heir husbands prefer another .oman. A courageous character will .'efuse to be wrecked by one failure and will make something of her ■ife in spite of her disaopointment. A woman who handles the situation with generosity invariably has a better chance to make a satisfactory readjustment. In my experience, hurt pride is stronger than hurt love in women who refuse freedom to unhappy husbands. It is not undying love which prompts them to hang on, but the inability to admit defeat. As long as our present prejudice against courtship exists, and we deny young people free association with each other when they are making a love choice, the young may require more than one marriage before they learn enough about love to make an intelligent selection.

A Woman’s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TF by any chance I ever should become the proprietor of a beauty parlor —and stranger things have happened—there is one request I would make of every customer more than 20. That she 'should take five minutes of every day to look at her mouth in repose. Most of us never see our mouths except when we are putting on the lipstick, which means we are posing them before the looking glass and that they are presented to us in their most pleasing aspect. Do we ever really see ourselves at all in our mirrors? I doubt it We see the image who lives in our fancy as ourself. Women spend many hours on their hair, their complexions, their nails and their fingers, but it is the mouth which gives them away and shouts their age, their disillusion and their bad tempers to the world. Look at them sometimes—the mouths you meet in a day’s work. Sulky, avaricious, stubborn, loose bitter, mean, cruel—upon these scarlet signboards we carry our trademarks everywhere. And the more artfully we rouge them, the more flamboyantly they advertise our characters to the public. A thousand times more loudly than any spoken word do our closed lips betray Us. A beautiful mouth is not fashioned by any special expertness in make-up. It is the result of long years of wholesome, pleasant and uplifting thought. Malice, envy, spite, all the petty vices

write their indelible imprints there. The bitterness of every sorrow ignobly borne, of every stubborn resistance to decent inspiration, of each secret low desire, is stamped upon us there by the seal of nature which nothing can eradicate. It can not be said too often that a good disposition is the best beautifier. If our eyes are the windows of the soul, then our mouth is the banner of the heart. With a fine soul and a high heart, no woman is ever really homely.
