It is a policy that has been nourished in Kuomin- tang newspapers, preached by political l=» speakers and even included in offi- cial textbooks used in all schools from the primary grades upward. The extraterritorial treaties and foreign concessions have been blamed for all of China’s domestic ills. This has resulted in a studied policy an- tagonistic to all foreign individuals, firms and governments. The Shang- hai District Court, for example, had become a travesty as a judicial tribunal. To such an extent was it subject to Chinese political, military and civil interference that foreign litigants despaired of obtaining jus- For two decades political and mili- ‘tary indecencies have been rampant.

His statement was a blunt warning to the effect that “it is not possible for any nation to cultivate hatred and hostility toward other countries and then expect the League of Nations to step in and save it from the consequences of that attitude.” Unquestionably any satisfactory so- lution of the situation in the Far East is most difficult. Well-informed in- vestigators assert the present trouble is not entirely due to Japan’s greed and ambitions. A large measure of responsibility must be laid to the pol- icies of Kuomintang nationalism which have for five years asked for all manner of concessions from abroad without any attempt in return to es- 0 tablish order and peace within China's 0 }own boundaries. People Are Still People ‘The past few years have brought many changes. Some have been sur- face changes only. Some have gone deep into the fabric of the nation. There is one thing, however, that has not changed and never will change . +. the desire of the people for an improved standard of living. "The processes of life go on. Babies are being born. Young people are growing into maturity. The marriage bureaus are open. The wife or mother of 1932 is swayed by the same emotions, moved by the same desires, stirred by the same instinctive love of beauty, in- fluenced by the same fundamental needs as her mother or grandmother before her. The only difference is that she lives and moves in a world of wider activity and has corresponding- ly greater needs. Men are wearing out shoes and suits and shirts and needing new ones. They are smoking tobacco. They are driving motor cars and deciding mentally on the cars they will buy next week or next month or next year. Conditions may limit spending for a time but they cannot stop for very long the eternal pushing forward that is characteristic of the American na- tion. In times of stress there is always agitation for a lowering of standards —a feeling that the methods of the street-corner barker are needed to sell goods. No one who really understands | people can be a sincere believer in such a policy. The street-corner barker may at- tract a crowd. He may make a sale, but he never makes a customer. His is the voice of expediency. He in- spires none of the faith and confi- dence that are the keystone of every succesful business. The changes of the past few years have not changed that. People as a whole are honest and truthful in their dealings with other people. They expect the same hon- esty and truthfulness in the firms and manufacturers with whom they deal. Extravagant boasting and challeng- ing statement do not make an in- dividual popular among his fellows. By the same token they are unlikely to be of value to a manufacturer in his advertising. Today, as always, the most pro- ductive advertisements are those which are written simply and sin- cerely and designed to render g help- ful service; messages that will be received by the reader in much the same manner as a letter from a friend. The way to large volume is not to sell the very rich or the very poor but the great middle-class which forms the chief purchasing power of this country.

Assertions and Facts (New York Times.) Governor Roosevelt's radio address last week continues to excite wonder and to provoke questions. How did he propose to “restore purchasing power to the farming half of the country?” Criticizing other plans, he produced none of his own. But on one point he exposed himself to in- stant refutation. After arguing that the home-owner and the farm-owner have a “relationship” only to the “little local bank” or “local loan com- pany,” he affirmed that not for these “little fellows” was the “two-billion dollar fund which President Hoover and the congress have put at the dis- posal of the big banks, the railroads Yes, But Look Out f or That Traffic Cop!

The substances to which they are hypersensitive are articles of food, the pollens of plants and many other substances in the ordinary environ- ment, In children the symptoms of asthma are associated with so many symptoms related to the throat that the spasm, which is the typical man- ifestation of asthma, may be ob- ‘scured. Consequently the parents and sorewtimes the physician, according to Dr. George W. Bray, may label the condition recurrent bronchitis until later either the frequency of the attacks and repeated breaking out or the detection of the typical asthmatic wheeze leads to the correct diagnosis. The shortness of breath that is so typical of asthma is, of course, the most important symptom. Cough, chest colds, head colds, run- ning from the eyes and other symp- toms are secondary. It has been found in general that children of a certain constitutional type are more likely to be asthmatic than others.

One Show That's Free After three months, the gargantuan building project known as Radio City continues to be Manhattan's greatest free show. Steel skeletons now rise, FLAPPER FANNY SAYS: and the corporations.” To this assertion an immediate and crushing reply was made on Sunday by the former State Banking Com- missioner of New York, Mr. George V. McLaughlin. At present he is vice chairman of the advisory committee of the New York Loan Agency work- ing under the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The operations of the latter have been fully reported tor the period ended March 31. It had advanced loans of about $125,000,000 to 858 banks and trust companies. Most of these were small institutions in rural regions or in the agricultural states. Mr. McLaughlin roundly de- clared that “not a single large bank- ing institution in New York State has sought or received assistance from Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion.” Quite the other way, they have been helping small banks. Not one “loan association has applied for help in this district that has not received There is a good deal more of this, all of which, as Mr. McLaughlin points out, was available to the governor in @ public record.

German official buyetins announced the capture of Passchendaele, Poel- capelle and Langemarck. Bitter fighting at Meteren resulted in heavy losses for both British and German troops, but failed to change the situation there. Allied observers declared that the British front was believed safe and that the German thrust at the chan- nel ports had failed.

Aunt Jessie looked as if she thought Russians little better than the “Polocks” she disliked so much, but after a ‘moment or two of con- sideration she grudgingly consent- ed. “If you'll have Susan home by half past 10,” she stipulated, eee See house in which the Strinskys lived was an old brownstone on the north side not far from Lin- coln Park. Ben, who had been in New York, told Susan the place was just like Greenwich Village, and Susan believed him, She was a little awed at her good fortune in being introduced to such a charmed circle. The main room of the Strinsky flat was a shock to her at first. The walls were painted with splashes of red and orange. There was a black corduroy couch in one corner and @ samovar on a kitchen table that had been painted blue. About the room on soiled cushions and on a few crude chairs were scattered the guests, Sonya Strinsky, who was a pale, oily-haired girl wearing a lavender smock, admitted them. She had long, tired, hazel eyes and her hand was limp. She did not in the least resemble Susan's notion of a Russian princess, The hall smelt of cabbage and there was a drift of smoke in the room through which Susan could just perceive the white blurs of faces. A gabble of voices Tose, The place seemed intoler- ably hot, Sonya said to Ben, “You're just in time, They want to dance and you're to play for them.” The young man protested but was dragged to the battered piano in the corner and Susan left to fend for herself, Susan’s head began to ache and she wished she had not-come. S| began to suspect that perhaps she was not really seeing life, after all. A fat man, informally attired in polo shirt and white slacks, ap- proached and asked her to dance, She did not even know his name. Sonya brought in a tin tray with drinks, Susan frowned over he: and left it untasted. She heard Ben’s low voice, “You don’t have to drink it if you don’t want to.” She turned to him gratefully. He was looking anxious. No doubt Aunt Jessie had impressed him with her views. “I wouldn't dare,” s! breathed. She looked around her. The girl who was called Denise, the flower-faced one with the strange, red hair, was gesticulating with ber cigaret and squinting through the little column of smoke. It struck Susan for the first time that Denise was rather out of Dlace in this shabby company. Her frock Mer Riper shoes narrow and B cate an ie.

Well, she would look the gift horse in the face no longer! She would smile and be pleasant and listen to Ben Lampman’s moody conversa- tion. She, too, would be charming! Promptly at eight the young man arrived, almost pathetically neat in his brushed blue serge. Ben was the long-locked type of youth who honestly believes temperament and untidiness go hand in hand—but he was the very pattern of neat- ness this evening. “Hello!” he said, surrendreing his shabby hat. Susan moved over on the porch swing and Aunt Jes- sie smiled as benevolently as pos- sible. Ben did not sit down, . breeze, swung her window curtains. It was good to be alive, to be cool and rested after the dreadful day, she decided, Her mood changed. Why shouldn’t she, after all, be nice to Ben Lamp- man? Ray Flannery took every masculine sigh and glance as tribute. Probably Ray was right. Susan had noticed before this that the elusive attribute, charm, usual- ly surrounded those lucky girls who were said by their mates to be “popular.” Popular! That terrific and over- whelming word on which the dest!- nies of the young so often hung. Susan wanted to be popular, didn’t she?
