They haven’t even been able to coin a well- phrased term, such as “watchful waiting” to win public support for their stand. Because of the long delay and the conciliatory terms in which the warning was couched, Japan prob- ably will treat it lightly. Its answer also ‘will be couched in conciliatory terms | ‘but, from the attitude of Tokyo as| expressed in news dispatches, it wili make quite clear the fect that it doesn’t intend to back up one step in Manchuria.

As matters stand now, it would be 50 surprising if the administration's at- 50|titude on the Manchurian question ; were not one of the minor issues of the 1932 campaign.

S.. government dinally warned Japan that it would) expect the nine-power pact to be re- Spected in Manchuria. ‘That the pact had been violated geems as unquestioned as that the first big test of the League of Na- tions and of the Kellogg-Briand pact to outlaw war resulted in failure for those fine instruments for the pre- * servation of peace and the promotion of justice. A good many things fall by the wayside when military power and a lust for national aggrandize- ment are in the saddle, so perhaps, ‘we should blame the frailty of hu- man nature more than any defects of the treaties and international set- ups. Whatever else may be said cf them, they warm the peace-loving heart, they appeal to our sense of righteousness, and they look good on Deper. Since the Japanese aggression be- gan in September, the American peo- ple have held the idea that there was ample cause to put into effect what- eyer treaties were available to meet the situation. Whatever other names may have been given it, we have wit- nessed a war in the Far East. We have seen one nation invaded and its| rights trampled beneath the feet of another nation. The League of Nations and the in- terested, powers fussed and stewed like hen which has hatched a duck, but they did nothing definite. In- stead of taking a definite stand, based on their rights, the principles of justice and the facts of the situa- tion, they temporized and procras- tined. The American government has followed suit. | Coming as it did at the end ofj| three months of such tactics, Amcri- ca’s declaration of adherence ‘to its Tights was e reversal of form for the administration. ‘What caused it is by no means ¢2r- tain, but if one were to guess he should not ignore the resolution, of- fered early in the present congress session by Senator Johnson of Cali- fornia, in which the senate demanded all the data available as to the ac- tions and negotiations of the Ameri- ean government in the Far Eastern| imbroglio. Nothing much has been heard of it since, but it is on file and there was every reason to believe that it would be brought to the front pointedly before the present session of congress ends next spring. Johnson is no friend of the admin- istration or of the president and he 4s imbued with the anti-Asiatic com- plex which has existed on the Pa- cific coast for years. California has never quite forgotten that, in the event of a war with an Asiatic power, its coast, its people and its industries would be endangered. So Scnator Johnson was speaking for California in no uncertain terms when he de- manded to know what had been done to adequately represent United States interests. Another factor is that American capital has considerable interest in Manchuria. United States trade with that part of the Chinese republic Tuns into millions yearly. Japanese occupstion and control will impair those investments and diminish thai trede. Nipponese action has demon- strated that clearly already. ‘We have, then, an element of fear in the tardy action of the state de- partment. The political situation 1s ‘bad ehough wihout prejudicing the ly. Governor Ritchie of Maryland is about the only avowed candidate to date, but Governor Roosevelt of New York is a certain entrant and former Senator Reed of Missouri also has his hat on the edge of the ring, ‘f not in it. Governor Murray of Okla- homa is about in the same position. In the background stands Baker of Ohio, not an active candidate but doubtless willing to make the race if it is necessary to bring harmony to the party. Occasionally a peacemak- er finds his work attended with great profit. The Baker folks are not over- looking that fact. The fact that the national com- mittee avoided the prohibition ques- tion does not mean the same success will attend the pussy-footers in the convention.

It is the ques- tion whether the woman did do it or did not. Perhaps we do not hear so much of the woman's vote as we used to, but it is still with us. What the women voters will do to purify politics and enforce anti-militarist policies and compel legislation for the protection of minors in industry, and the home, and ‘ethical standards, has been reg- ularly and solemnly prophesied and just as regularly disproved. Experi- ence has shown that women voters divide iike men, but it is not often that a. separate count of men’s and women’s ballots supplies the math- ematical proof. “ More than on any other question, doesn’t make much difference wheth- er or not that snake had the habit, + * % Nevertheless, almost any newspaper today would buy Adam’s and Eve’s “own story” on the basis that “now it can be gold.” | (Copyright, 1982, NEA Service, Inc.)

He therefore must be exceedingly careful about the way in. which dishes, towels and similar ob- jects used’in his daily hygiene come into contact with other people. The disease occurs most often in people who are of low resistance, per- haps because of undernutrition, and also in those whose teeth are not well taken care of. Apparently there are more cases in children than in grown- ups. There is no reason why a child with Vincent's angina should not gQ to school, provided it is properly in- formed as to the danger of transmit- ting the disease to other children, and can be made to realize its responsibil- ity in this connection. It has been found that a drug called sodium perborate has a defi- nite effect in destroying the germs in Vincent’s angina. ‘Fhe drug is also valuable as a cleansing agent affect- | ~ ing other germs. ' Hence the person who is infected may use a prepara- tion of perborate as a gargle or as a spray, and, in addition, have it ap- plied frequently in fairly strong As long as these germs are present in the mouth, the possibility exists amounts directly to the infected gums and tissues. | <A WRECK OF ARMY FLIER’S PLANE This picture shows the wreck: H.
