No War in Asia “Back in the winter, it will be re- called, there were frequent prophe- cies that war would break out in Asia as soon as the weather opened up. At that time Japan was just completing its conquest of Manchuria and the Shangha! incident was fresh in the world’s memory. It did seem like trouble in plenty was clearly vis- ible on the horizon. That the far eastern situation still 4s a powder house is not to be denied. ‘There is always the possibility that & border incident, such as that which occurred the other day when Rus- sians fired on a Manchuoan steam- boat, will lead to serious trouble. But both Japan and Russia are showing} & disposition to keep the peace and) the Nipponese are confining their ag- gression to commercial matters. The key to the whole situation lies, of course, in world diplomacy—and particularly in American diplomacy. Russia, obviously, does not want war, no matter how aggressive are the statements issued from Moscow. A war now would upset all her plans and probably lead to the overthrow of the Present government. Also, at least for the time being, she is in a strong- er diplomatic position than is Japan. The whole world looks with distrust upon the policies of Tokyo and it was this fact, as much as anything else, which led the Roosevelt administra- | tion to recognize the Soviet Union. By so doing we created a bulwark be- tween ourselves and possible trouble and strengthened the Russian posi- tion immensely. In case of war, access to the Amer- ican money market would be as easy for Russia as for Japan and the re- ception might be warmer. For, while money has no home and knows no sentiment, it is probable that heavy loans to the Nipponese would be dis- couraged by our own government in the interest of national defense. Also, world opinion is very much against war, even though the vari- ous governments are again arming themselves to-the teeth. Proof of this fact is had by developments in the conflict between Paraguay and Bolivia over the Gran Chaco and the effort to put an embargo on arms shipments. In America there is no urge toward war, even though various patriotic societies are advocating adequate pre- Paredness in the event of trouble, and Plenty of heat looms in the offing for the munitions makers who profit from international conflict. Presi- dent Roosevelt has promised full sup- Port for the Nye resolution for a sen- Ste investigation of these manufac- turers and the disclosures may be auch as to crystallize still further the anti-war sentiment. Even such an organization as the American Legion has joined in the anti-war crusade, though many pinks and ultra-pacifists have accused it in the past of fostering the war spirit. Its stand was recently set forth in ® resolution adopted by its national executive committee which said in part: “The Legion now reaffirms its demand of many years for the enactment of the Universal Draft law, which in the event of war would conscript all of the resources of the nation without profit to » The Legion again ap- preparedness draft law, taking profit out of war, would furnish surest guarantee of a lasting peace for the American nation.” Students of the subject have long mand for war, and the attempt to revive this measure may succeed if the Nye committee uncovers half of 00| Which are fully as well paid as those |standpoint alone, the girl is to be Both Root and Branch Anyone reading the proceedings the trial at Minneapolis where Dr. Clayton May, his nurse, Mrs. Augusta Salt, and Evelyn Frechette, John Dil- Unger’s moll, are on trial for harbor- ing the gangster, gets a new view of the American underworld. We have long known, of course, that it could not exist without help from so-called respectable people and now we are beginning to get an in- sight into how that help is given. Always there have been crooked lawyers ready to bail gangsters out when they get into jail and to keep them out of court, if possible. There is ground for the suspicion that the big gangs have legal departments representing the big corporations. Of the three now accused none has been found guilty and each must be considered innocent until the jury re- ports. On the basis of the showing already made, however, it would seem they have their work cut out for them if they are to win their freedom. Grant that to find Dr. May guilty would ruin his practice. If it con- sists of giving aid and assistance to public enemies it were better ruined. The very best that can be said of him is that he had a chance to prove himself a good citizen and failed to take it. Incidentally, his plea that he was afraid to tell while he treated Dillinger for three days discloses very little faith in the power of the gov- ernment to protect those who give it assistance. Of the three on trial the Frechette Girl is most entitled to sympathy, if any is deserved at all. At least Dil- Mnger was “her man” and, bad as both of them are, there was more than money involved. To fight for and support the man of her choice is an admirable quality in most women and had this half-breed girl taken the trouble to legalize her association with the gangster there probably would be no question about it now. As it was, the association may be Presumed to be one of those elemen- tal things which happen in all strata of society and, judged from this pitied more than censured. But no spirit of chivalry need be wasted on her because she is just as in a small way, as her gangster sweetheart. The “molls” very fre- quently are at the roots of the gang killed both root and branch.

Federal Revenues (New York Times) One of the encouraging signs of the times is the steady gain in federal revenues. Treasury receipts thus far in the current fiscal year amount to $2,622,000,000, compared with $1,716,- 000,000 in the same period a year ago and with $1,692,000,000 in 1931-32. This year’s account, to be sure, is padded by the inclusion of one ex- traneous item: about $300,000,000 de- rived from taxes imposed on the pro- cessing of wheat, cotton, tobacco, etc., under the various crop-curtailment Programs of the AAA. This is not Properly @ government revenue, since it is earmarked for distribution to farmers, and the treasury collects it for that purpose. But even after this sum is deducted from gross receipts, the government's income is 35 per cent above the figure for last year and nearly 40 per cent in excess of that for 1931-32, ‘With one excéption all of the main divisions of the treasury'’s revenue show a gain. The exception is the “miscellaneous’ group, which includes as its principal item payments on the war debts. The amount received this year from foreign governments is only $20,000,000, compared with near- ly $100,000,000 last year and with more than $200,000,000 in the year before the “Hoover moratorium.” But the falling off of revenue from this source has not upset the administration's Plans. In the budget estimates sub- mitted to congress in January the treasury estimated $20,000,000 as the amount which would be paid, adding in a footnote that if more was re- ceived so much the better. All the other and more important revenues show improvement. Cus- toms receipts have increased from $215,000,000 last year to $279,000,000, reflecting the greater activity in for- eign trade. The yield of income taxes has advanced from $589,000,000 to $613,000,000, But by far the great- est gain has been made in the case of internal revenue taxes, which, bringing in $1,280,000,000 this year ot | The Democrats Have No Monopoly on New Dealing THE BISMARCK TRIBUNK, SATURDAY, MAY 1y, 1934 -ccoskteore tea orate net SN much a public menace, even if only|IN THE pie Sh OF THE IN- story is about 2 a. m. when honest system of which we see only the fruit, Papel apne beirpacted one and if this menace to society is to|to set off across the moor that mem- be eliminated the gangs must be|orable night when they washed up the Hound of the Baskervilles.
