Hoosier Vagabond

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, \Feb. 10.—Practically none

Of the comic-opera aspects of government in the

banana republics is visible in Costa Rica. It is a

. Benuine democracy—in fact, the finest democracy

We have found outside the United States. It is | almost the only one of all the | Latin countries that can pre- | tend with a straight face to- be | a democracy. It has been eight years since | there was a revolution Here. And | even though it was a little one, | it so embarrassed .the people | that they muttered darkly | against the revolutionaries. They | thought Costa Rica had got be- | yond that. The last dictator was kicked | out in 1920. Costa Ricans are mild-natured, and they like Peace. The Nicaraguans laugh and say that Costa * Ricans won't fight because they're afraid they'll bréak the windows in their million-dollar National Theater. Yet you never can tell. I notice that the new Presidential palace has numerous slits in the walls for machine guns, | The Government here seems to be literally for the people. The newspapers say what they please. Any qualified voter who fails to vote is arrested. Every Thursday house, and the lowest peon can come in and air his grievances. { #® ¥ 2

A Fly in the Ointment

‘Costa Rica prides itself on having more school teachers than soldiers. There are only 500 soldiers. They are all in a stone-walled barracks across the street from the home of the American Minister, During the last reyolution a shell landed in the American Minister’s bed. Fortunately he had arisen. Another thing Costa Rica boasts of is that its arms are open to [refugees and harassed peoples from all over the world. But I've found a fly in this ointment.

There are a lot of temporarily unhorsed Latin

Our Town

I WAS PRETTY MISERABLE, I remember, when We returned from the Chicago World's Fair in the

“middle of August, 1893. And I still recall the cause of my low spirits. It was the awful realization that the future had nothing more to offer to match the “excitement of the Columbian Exposition—let Jone an adventure to beat i I had a ani surprise, however. The day I returned to what I thought was going to be a perpetual humdrum existence, I got wind of & rumor that it wouldn't be long now until they got ready to lift the big statue to the top of the Soldiers and Sailors’ Monument. "I guess I was one of the 500 men and boys who watched the performance from beginning to end. For some reason, the girls and women stayed away, probably because of a rumor - that it wasn’t possible to raise the statue without an accident. To say nothing of all kinds of wild reports that. even if they did get the statue up there was ‘still the possibility of its falling down— either of its own accord or by way of a heavy wind. Anyway, the girls didn’t show up.

4 Moment of Suspense

“The performance started, I recall, with the lifting of the big bronze ball, the pedestal which was to receive Miss Indiana. A windlass, worked by hand, was ‘used, and I still remember the mathematically "inclined old man in the audience who got out paper and pencil to keep track of the number of revolutions. of the windlass. He had 4182 counted at the end of the first hour, At the end of six hours when the ball was in position, he said it took exactly 28,400 revolutions of the windlass to do the job— all ‘by hand, mind you. That was all they did the first day. They i do any more because by that time it was 6 p. A crowd twice as big turned out-the second day, but still no girls. The big surprise of the second

~ Washington

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—A number of persons have written indignant letters because the other day I said that the American Youth Congress would

be’ better off if it threw out its Communist constitiuent organizations. One critical reader asks, “Must we follow Hitler's tactics? Or Franco's?” (Why not put Stalin’s name into the question and make it complete?) If we followed their tactics, we would lock the Communists up in concentration camps or shoot them.

. No question of civil liberties is involved. If the American “Youth Congress insists upon having such groups of .Communists assist it in formulating policies, that is its right. It only means that the whole organization comes under suspicion. The American Youth Congress is interested in Federal Jegislation which would make our democracy more responsive to the needs of our people, especially youth. Why should it wish to build into its foundation units which are Communist? Uniis which have close ties with the Stalin regime and apparently deep admiration for it? Whose fondest hope is to see such a regime

established in the United States?

Defend Stalin Dictatorship

American Communists continue to defend the Stalin dictatorship, although in joining with Hitler to take a slice of Poland, and in the war against Finland, and in its ruthless suppression 2% civil liberties this Communist regime is doing the very things for which the Communists have denounced Hitler.

My Day

WASHINGTON, Friday—Yesterday was a most

interesting day, but my first pleasant surprise was to be met in Boston at 7:30 a. m. by our son, John, who had driven in from Nahant. It even made up for the ‘cameras and the two poor newspapermen who tried to ask me questions. I am never very chatty when I get off a night train, but Johnny and I went over to the hotel and had breakfast, which gave us a chance for a good talk before he went to work and I went out to .Dr. and Mrs. Conant’s house in Cambridge.

The executive committee of the Harvard Dames had a small luncheon for me‘at the faculty club, and then we went over to their meeting in Phillips-Brooks house. I thought that the Har-

vard Dames must be the wives of faculty members,

sol was ‘somewhat surprised to find that they are the wives or graduate students who have returned to do some special piece of work. Many of these women hold jobs while their husbands take this extra bit of. ‘education. Others profit by this year at Harvard in . different ways. Mrs. Conant said that their _ ability to do a great deal, both educational and son limited fue & was a lesson to everyone with

Relieving -Some Fears

Well, after that it was merely a matter of piling one section on top of the other until ths 38-foot-high statue was completed, all of which: took about a week. When the statue was in place—iorch and all—it was’ rumored again that never in the world could Miss Indiana. withstand a heavi windstorm. To end the controversy, the Board of C minissioners assured the skeptics that the figure was riveted together and fastened to its base by system of powerful braces. What's ‘more, that th: statue was anchored to the Monument by 16 large rocls, These rods, they went on to say, were let in > grooves in the sides of the shaft, keyed -togethe: by massive bolts, and carried down 40 feet from t: 2 top where they were firmly imbedded in the stc: ework.

There is a strong argument of expediency against affiliation with Communist groups. There is also a matter of principle that goes much deeper than mere political expediency. For any group seeking to influence public affairs in the United | States there must be one ultimate test ibaut which there can ‘be no quibbling. That test is wiiether the organization has its allegiance in this cowitry or in a foreign regime.

test from Washington?” “Notes of protest, of course,” the Japanese replied with a smile. “Diplomats have to send such notes. But your country continues to sell us all the war materials we need. Therefore, our people believe that you are for us.” As a matter of fact, Dr. Judd continued today, how could the Japanese feel otherwise? We ship them virtually all the essentials for carrying, on the war. Without our scrap iron, petroleum products and other materials the Japanese could not possibly continue their assault on China. They violate their treaties with us; they humiliate our citizens in . China; they destroy or confiscate our mission property—yet we continue, in bland innocence, to sell them the goods that make all this possible, In addition, Dr. Judd went on, the United States remains the world’s greatest purchaser of silk —Japan’s principal source of fore eign exchange. Most of this silk goes into the making of women’s hosiery. “No American woman would hand four bullets to a Japanese soldier would she?” Dr. Judd asked. “Yet this is exactly what happens every time she buys a pair of silk hose, These bullets wound the Chinese I am paid to care for. It's fantastic—utterly and unbelievably fantastic, isn’t it?” . 8 8 R. JUDD began as a physcian treating the ills of Chinese peasants.

For Japanese Invaders

For two years he has laid aside medicine—his life interest—to tell this country of'the need for a strong diplomatic stand in the Far East. With the denunciation of the 1911 treaty, with new relations between the United States and Japan bound to follow, he is swinging from city to city, asking Americans to urge their representatives to give the President: power to slap an embargo on war materials. “A free China is essential,” he is telling Jacksonville and Seattle. “A strong and independent China will be a stabilizing force in the Far East. With China secure, we need never be concerned about the imperialistic program of military Japan. “But if, on the contrary, Japan should completely subjugate China, she could be indomitable in the far Pacific. She would drive out all influence of the white man. She would be in a position to take over French IndoChina, British Malaysia, American Philippines: and the Netherlands - East Indies. s “Don’t think this is far-fetched. The Japanese military and naval leaders have announced it to be their program. Once Hitler outlined his program of aggression, and the world thought he was crazy, too. “All this is ominous for the “Western world,” Dr. Judd continued, “and yet it is the United Stafes that is making the defeat of China possible through our’ steadily increasing export of war materials to Tokyo. 2 8 8

“YN 1937 we supplied 54 per cent and in 1933, 56 per cent. With war in Europe and England un-

The largest shipment in two years left in November from San Pedro Harbor—almost two million gallons of 92-octane rating gasoline in one vessel. embargo on this one item alone could practically stop the bombings of open cities which we have piously deplored. “Over 90. per cent of Japan's scrap iren, steel and copper: she’ gets from the United States. Spe-

cial steels and alloys, trucks, lum- ..

ber, lubricating oils and leather go from our ports every week. “It is pretty obvious from this that we—and we almost alone— are armins Japan. At the same time we are arming her against ourselves. For ‘every shipload of scrap iron we send to Japan v2 must dump another shipload' in our own navy yards, to build naval strength against her.”

‘Therefore, concludes Dr. Judd, it is essential that the President be given the power through some such legislation as the Pittman bill or the Schwellenbach bill to impose an embargo on war materials to Japan. He prefers the Schwellenbach bill. This proprovides that the President may enforce such an embargo if it is apparent that American exports are being used to violate the territorial integrity of a nation which has been guaranteed by treaty. - ” o 8 HE treaty referred to is the.

Weather Bureau Sent Out First Report 69 Years Ago

By DAVID MARSHALL Sixty-nine years ago today the Indianapolis weather bureau sent out its first report. One thing hasn't changed much since those pioneering days. The populace still complains about the weather. Army Signal Corps telegraphers started the whole thing when they began collecting weather data under a law authorizing the Secretary of War to set up meteorological stations. That was in 1870. Among the first stations to be established was the one here. Sergt. C.F.R. Wappenhans opened the office on Feb. 4, in Room 31 of Blackford’s Block ’ which stood on the southeast corner of Washington and Meridian’ Sts. The rent was $7 a month. ; The first report was sent out Feb. 10. The weather that day couldn’t have been very unusual. Sergt. Wappenhans ddn’t even mention it in his journal entry. He did say that a weather bulletin was issued that day and published in the four daily papers and one was posted at the Chamber of Commerce. On later days when the weather was acting like the storm scene in |v «Uncle Tom's Cabin” the sergeant filled several pages with descriptive material. Since then the bureau has moved four ‘times. Now it is settled on the fifth floor of the Federal Bulding. During all’ that time the weather moved a lot too. Its movements are what keeps John H. Armington, the meteorologist: since 1914, busy. The maximum wind velocity is one of ‘Mr, Armington’s problems. When the wind blows really strong it; sails the cups right off the anemometers, which measure the air movements. Then the u operlike a single-masted

July 12, 1925. Mr. Armington remembers the anemometers breaking all speed. records by spinning at 84 miles an hour,on another occasion, but that doesn’t count since it was only for one minute. The annual ‘precipitation here of around 40 inches makes Indianapolis only slightly damp. - If you think you have trouble jumping puddles, the annual rainfall at Cherrapunji, India, is 428 inches, while the best this country can do is 131 inches at Glenora, Ore. °

To keep their jobs, meteorologists must average 85 to 92 per cent correct forecasts. But no meteor®logist ever headed off a storm. Maybe that’s’ why they still carry umbrellas.

ulous to believe that the Japanese

could sweep down and take over

the Dutch East Indies’ wells. These wells are all mined. They would be destroyed before the Japanese landed. In ‘addition to this, the Japanese have proved that they are not good operators of oil properties.”

“But what about retaliation?” Dr. Judd was questioned further. “Wouldn't they assault Americans in China and attack the Philippines?” “The Japanese have ®done a pretty: ‘good - job of humiliating Americans in China already,” he went on. “I don’t think" they wo do anything drastic. After, all

asked, “wouldn't such an. embargo drive Japan into the arms of Russia in an agreement for the" partition of China?” : “That is preposterous,” Dr. Judd answered out hesitation. “Russia is the natural enemy of Japan. Russia wants a warm water port in the Pacific. Must have it for the development of eastern Siberia. Such a port would be a constant threat to the security of Japan—a dagger pointed at her heart—and Japan would never agree to it. Furthermore, the Emperor has announced .the nation’s immutable opposition to Communism. Would the Japanese army dare to supersede by a military pact the will of the Emperor who, in their eyes, is God? Could they say, ‘If you don’t help us down Communism we’ll
