BRISBANE THIS WEEK To Store Food in Mines President's Good Idea No Criticism for Germany Japan's Many Babies While the President talks peace lor all the Americas, England,

locked in her small island, separated by narrow water from European hatred, realizes .that it would be hard to keep out of a big war. She might, some day, move her imperial headquarters from London to Montreal or Quebec, ■a s the French government once moved from Paris to

Arthar Hri.baa.

Bordeaux, and the Spanish govern* ment recently from Madrid to Valencia. England wonders what her people , would eat if war should be forced upon her, with enemy submarines and airplanes sinking her food ships. She is not self-support-ing, and her newly organized "food plans department" will try to store away enough food to last at least a year. As a "cache" for the food, England is using worked-out coal mines, of which many, going down thousands of feet, should be safe from bombardment. The President’s trip to South America proves to have been a most -useful idea. Great crowds welcomed him in his brief stop at Rio de Janeiro, as he drove through the streets with the Brazilian President Getulio Vargas, bands playing "The Star-Spangled Banner.” The President will talk peace and business, at least as much business as peace, and he will make friends for us all in South America. You may count that day rare on which Chancellor Hitler's government does nothing new and queer. Dramatic criticism and literary criticisms are now forbidden in Germany. Constructive criticism is»of greatest value to actors and writers; the intelligent among them are grateful for it. The Ruler of the universe was his own critic, "and God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good." AU need criticism, the powerful need it more than others, and Hitler will have it when history is written. His minister of propaganda cannot control that. - -4 Tokyo reports for Japan the world’s highest birth rate; 2,180,703 new Japanese babies arrived in 1935, more than in 1934 by 148,931. Japanese marriages are increasing, divorces decreasing; the latter down to less than one in 1,000 marriages. Japanese husbands and wives get along better than Americans do. The great contract bridge competition ends and the Harold Vanderbilt cup goes to four players caUed the Kaplan team; Phil Abramsohn. Fred Kaplan, Harry Fishbein and Irving Epstein. Mr. Vanderbilt, on hand to present his cup, might telephone ChanceUor Hitler that you do not have to be an "Aryan” to understand bridge. Business is picking up and that includes marriage, most important. Chicago university says 750,000 fewer weddings have taken place during the six depression years than would have occurred in normal times. Hence the loss of about one million new American babies that would have been born. Seven hundred and fifty thousand young couples have missed, among them, more than three million years of marriage bliss. t The tide turned in 1935 with 1,327,000 marriages, highest total in our history. Mr. Green’s and Mr. Lewis* union labor organizations indicate that their differences may be settled, which is good news. Organized labor should present a united front against too-short pay and long hours. The prosperity of the nation depends on how much the workers have to spend. China says she will risk war with Japan rather than let Japan take more of her territory. If that war comes it will illustrate the difference between a country prepared, Japan, and one unprepared and disorganized, China. Japan’s unspoken answer to China’s war threat is her birth rate. Those millions of new babies must go somewhere. Sir Basil Zaharoff, called "mystery man” and "richest on earth." dead of heart disease at eighty-six, had for his motto, “Every man has his price." He dealt in munitions, and he may have bought, as well as helping to kill, many. Beginning poor, in Constantinople, Zaharoff climbed to the top in money and intrigue. It matters little where you start, what matters is inside the head. • Kias SWrtwm SywMcaia, Uw.
