Since the veteran alone can acknowledge their receipt and all have been asked to be on hand, it is expected that the number of completed deliv- eries will be unusually high. Many an ear will be tuned up for the warning of the bell or the postman’s knock on the door. Since the process of cashing the bonds is simple, it is to be expected that business will take a sharp upturn in the near future, for the introduction of $2,000,000,000 into the channels of trade, industry and investment is bound to have a marked effect. The veterans and their families will, of course, be glad to get the money and many have been the plans as to what shall be done with it. It is noteworthy that few of these contemplate @ squandering spree. The veteran has had as hard a row as anyone during recent years and has come to realize the value of a dollar. Some will leave the money in the interest-bearing form in which it is issued. A surprisingly large number expect to add it to money already saved and make a down payment on a home. Others will invest in the comforts and some of the luxuries of life and still others will use it to pay debts. All sorts of people have been interested in what kind of person the veteran is and what he will do with his money. Many have sent out questionnaires on the subject and analysis of the replies shows that all but about two per cent expect to use the money in what might be termed definitely constructive ways, In this respect the veteran is just the average American of his years. He is usually a pretty good family man and one with purposes fully as serious as his neighbors. He represents all classes, just as did the army, navy and marine corps in which he served. Warning is being sent out by the veterans’ groups against unwise investment of the money, attention being called to the fact that if there is a real opportunity for large profit at small risk, other persons with greater financial resources than the new-fledged veteran investor will probably be given first op- portunity. This is wise, for the bonus payment is the first windfall that many a veteran ever has had. Merchants with goods to sell, however, will find that a new and profitable market has been opened up by the bonus payments. Many will collect outstanding debts and others will find their coffers enriched by the proceeds of the “veterans’ night in.” War Clouds Over Asia With Japanese warships at Amoy, trouble looms larger on the horizon in the Far East. The gray smudge which those cruisers and destroyers make against the Asiatic sky are definite signs of war. The reason is that Japan cannot afford to stage a war just now against a UNITED China. There is little likelihood that she will have to do so, for the Chinese are not a united people. Yet the possibility is there and Nippon intends to halt the nationalist movement in South China before it gets well started. Take a look at China on the map and it appears as a vast area on the western edge of the Pacific ocean. Within its con- fines are millions of people who cannot understand even the language of Chinese in other parts of the country. Bear in mind that China, until a few years ago, was an empire and the reason for this becomes apparent. It is not and never has been a united nation but a whole group of nations brought under one government by ancient Manchu conquerors. But some strides toward unity have been made. The seed planted almost a generation ago by Dr. Sun Yat Sen, “liberator” ')vania are shown to be largely shorn Poceoeoooo ccc. Behind Scenes At The i Convention | Sad Days Come to Old Guard Bosses; | New Ones in Saddle at Convention. |. By RODNEY DUTCHER { (Tribune Washington Correspondent) | Cleveland, June 15.—There is plenty of chance for a sob story about the downfall of some of the Old Guard | bosses as demonstrated at the Repub- lican convention. In some quarters, there is even an inclination to speak of a so-called spiritual rebirth of the party, on the theory that the old-line men are be- ing replaced by fellows more honest and more obsessed with devotion to the public weal. Anyway, former Postmaster General Walter F. Brown has been bounced from his position as Republican na- tional committeeman from Ohio and such once-pussiant figures as Charlie Hilles of New York, J. Henry Rora- back of Connecticut, Jim Watson of Indiana, and Dave Reed of Pennsyl- of their former power. All proved unable to direct and de- liver their own obligations. Under the New Deal, with a Demo- cratic governor in each of their states, these old bosses have been going through lean years. A boss who con- trols neither federal nor state patron- age is in bad shape. Practically no one has to be nice to him, ee *% . They All Fall, in Time All bosses fall sooner or later, given the specific circumstances. At the Cleveland convention the old “leaders” had no strong candidate behind whom they could unite or even @ man strong enough to sell to the delegations which in past times they have been able to control. Even mere delegates were able to see that Landon was the logical, probably inevitable, choice and they refused to be held in check as pawns. All of which calls to mind the theory held by many astute observers ‘And What Is So Rare as a Day in June? Then, If Ever, Come Perfect Days’ that political bosses are likely to be dumb. Hilles, for instance, who always used to be able to deliver the great New York delegation, this time favored Senator Steiwer of Oregon. After Stelwer had made the keynote speech, two New York delegates were over- heard conversing as they left the con- vention hall, Looking at the Convention (Copyright, 1936, by David Lawrence) | “That's the fellow Hilles wanted,”| Washington, June 15.—The came| said one. “Haw-haw!” paign looks as if it may develop both And 8 of “his” 90 delegates rani sense of proportion and a sense of roughshod over him to declare in @/humor. poll for Landon.

Chairman Farley, on the other ‘hand, is absolutely right when he picks out certain planks in the Re- publican platform that “face both ways.” The experts in phrase-making that means different things to dif- ferent groups wrote some of those planks over the protest of the Lan- don leaders. There will be smiles, however, over this sentence from Mr. Farley’s comment: “The Republican party has made an accomplished art of the difficult busi- ness of facing both ways in a national election. Once again it proposes to be all things to all men.” . That's precisely what the anti- New Dealers have been saying about Mr. Roosevelt's alternate swings to the right and the left.

A spirit of nationalism is growing and Japan would rather crush it now than deal with it later. Hence the warships at Amoy to “protect” Japanese nationals. Military experts assert that even now China could give Japan a run for her money, if its people had the will to fight for their freedom, because the country is too vast for Japan to control except by the consent of its population. And Japan is menaced not only by this nationalist move- ment but by Russia to the north. The result is to put Nippon on a hot spot and she is moving to meet it in true Japanese fashion by taking the offensive. It -would be surprising if Japan does not discover some “overt act” which will give her excuse to make a definite demonstration in South China of such nature as to cool off the patriotic senti- ment now being generated there. In this she will have the support of the Chang Kai Shek or central government which is little more than a coalition of Chinese war lords organized to exploit the country for their Indiana delegates for trading pur-| 1) Bitter drug Poses.

In Indiana, control passes to Ralph Gates, a conservative corporation lawyer. Liberals appear to be making no headway among eastern Republicans, despite changes in control. The prob- able effect of the Landon influence on the national party set-up is own benefit. It the end it would not be surprising to see Japan establish her suzerainty over all of China, either directly or by setting up puppet states similar to Manchukuo. If and when that comes the white races of the world had better prepare to either keep their noses in their own business or prepare to have those noses another story.

But the great trouble with Webster is that he keeps right on when he has said enough.

There, is some fever, I am glad to note, The fever is important, to my way of thinking. Not that a touch of fever gratifies me particularly, but certainly it puts at a disadvantage those doctors, if any, who still have the nerve to tell you exposure to cold or wet is a cause of “the common cold or any actual iliness. It is quite a trick to produce fever with cold or moisture, a trick I don’t believe any charlatan now living can do. Then after some hours the nose begins to run and once she gets going she doesn’t stop running for a day or two, maybe not for several days, Without even mentioning complications, we may take it as conceded that real coryza is no joke, or so I infer. It has been years and years since I was caught by coryza. Whenever I see any one bearing down on me with suspicious signs I duck. te is well to remember that five feet is jum range of conversational spray. e Tbeleve tock corys is at least as frequent as the real thing. Mock coryza is a sudden affair, sudden in onset, and equally abrupt in termination. ‘The whole attack generally lasts only a few hours, often only an hour. But while it is on, can’t the poor goofs work havoc with our efforts to educate the public! And what_a raft of worthless, even ridiculous remedies for alleged “colds” victims of mock coryza discover and extol! Mock coryza begins with itching or irritation of the nostrils and the in- ner corners of the eyes, a tremendous amount of sneezing immediately (not after some hours of malaise as in true coryza) and a marked watery dis- charge from the nose together with a sense of fulness or dulness in the head and a mean, cantankerous disposition due, probably, to the constant threat of getting one’s chest wet before one can get one’s handkerchief out. The whole wretched business is over with and gone before next mealtime, as @ rule. That’s how so many famous abortions of bad “colds” happen. Folks are ever credulous. I don’t pretend to know what causes mock coryza, and I would not take too seriously the claim of any doctor who does. It is interesting and rather diverting, however, to speculate on the role of hypersensitization, anaphy- laxis, atopy, peculiar idiosyncrasy for this and that food, chemical, dust, animal emanation and whatnot. I've never met anybody who had arrived anywhere by trying to detect the specific factor of mock coryza. (Note to reader: Save this article. It’s sequel will appear tomorrow.)

Yet when all this is fully expounded, it may be found that the real issue of the campaign will center on the words picked up out of Mr. Roosevelt's re- marks by Senator Steiwer in his key- note speech. It was the sentence in which President Roosevelt, in a mes- sage to congress on March 10, 1933, sald: “For three long years the fed- eral government has been on the road Those “three long years” of Hoover, in which Mr. Roosevelt said that a '$4,000,090,000 deficit was accumulated, has now been matched by “three long years” of Roosevelt in which a deficit Of $11,000,000,000 has been accumu- ated.
