Next came the Crown Prince and Princess of Norway. Then there whs tHe 'visit ‘of thé' Crown Prince of Rumania, and| finally the visit of Their Britannic Majesties. Of course, hospitality forbids more than casual wonder what is up. It is not proper that we should inquire whether this is royalty's ing out, and unthinkable to suggest that the cost of armament abroad might have resulted in such a ne- cessity. mere season for eat- SCRAP FOR THE SCRAPPERS We alone oi the nations have not forbidden the export of scrap iron.

Indeed, Lh?‘ open-hearth process demands a certain amount of scrap. It is an essential in the manufacture of steel. Apparently we have had the scrap to spare, but this is only because our own steel industry has been run- ning not much over a third of capacity. Yet if a sud- den emergency were {o come, we would find we had so | drained the country of would have a definite shortage.

Our hindsight in this matter may turn out to be a good deal better than our foresight. Average Man at the Fair (New York Times) Admitting that there have been “a few kinks to iron out,” Mr. Whalen expresses himself as highly satisfied with the business the World's Fair has been doing; his statement should offset some of the adverse publicity we hear about from out-of-town sources. The assurance that New York City is not out to squeeze the last penny out of visiting pocketbooks and that food and lodging are to be had in this vicinity at rea- sonable prices will also help. It is, of course, true that any World's Fair in any city gains some support from local business men who believe it will help them sell their goods or services. If it were not for this bélief these big shows would be nd far less entertaining. But no World’s Fair, least of ali the present one, can be purely a local enterprise, More than a third of the total investment Las been made by the Federal Government, the States and foreign governments. Another large sum has been put in by private exhibitors whose market is national, | often internatichal, It Is not New York City that is | on display—it is a nation and a considerable fraction of a planet On Mr. Whalen's showing, this is an average man'’s fair. The average visitor spends 92 cents inside the gates, of whicl cents is for food, the rest for shows, rides and souvenirs. Since some spend a good deal more some must spend a good deal less. The con- sumption of frankfurters and hamburgers and the | huge attendance at the free shows tells how those | with thin purses get along. For 92 cents plus 75 cents plus carfare the average man sees a better sampling | of the constructive and interesting things that are| being done in the world today than is available at this time anywhere else, Racketeering is presumbaly one of the “kinks” to which Mr. Whaie eferred. But the great and hopeful evidence of scientific, social and economic achieve- ment rises above such discrepancies, as the fair, as a whole, rises above the fear and hate that rule over large portions of the outside world Japanese Rashness (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Normal cor ould seem to dictate that the Jepanese, suffering delay and disappointment in their conquest of China, restrict the area of military opera- tions. On the rary, defeat appears to drive them to try fo more ambitious objectives. They are ed with the British and other western powers at Tientsin and Swatow. And now comes confirmation of the hidden war which has gone on for six wee along the Manchoukuoan-Mongolian border. These actiy illustrate a psychological twist At is strange the Occidental. Instead of trying to consolidate gains they have made, the Japa- nese spread out and seem determined to draw their to the bre. point. This apparently foolhardy ation may be motivated by g desire to any victory—to satisfy the people he pride of the generals. But such tri- cor ities to W line ely to be costly in the end. Japan has toward all the western nations cts in the foreign settlements and toward Russia. Should a general conflict come, there is no doubt that she would be faced with a host of foes whom not even the ant ger Is could fight off A shower of conflicting f res breaks the silence that has cloaked the war in Mongolia. Who is correct is unimportant. The vital point is that Japan has en waging war with Russia—or a subsidiary of the Soviet Union, the Mongolian Psople’s Republic—thus giving a clear indication of what her ambitions are in the Far East should she ever succeed in subjugating China. There is no reason now to doubt that Japan’s aim is the domination of all eastern Asia from the Arctic circle to the Dutch East Indies. This should be a- warning to the whole western world. Unless the Occidental powers stand together in the face of Japane provocation they are but smoothing the path for the aggressor. Where Welfare Work Stops (Philadelphia. Record) The New York girl who lost her fight to retain a $3.75-a-week Y.W.C.A room (needed by the Y.W.C.A. to accommodate World's Fair visitors) is a member of a social class which our welfare em ignores. It is the class of those Who Just Get By. In some ways their plight is worse than that of those who don't get by. If she were destitute, several agencies would worry about her housing problem. Because she earns $15 nobody worries. This is like the position of, say, a high school graduate who lives at home and can’t get a job. No agency becomes exercised about him, so long as he is a good boy and minds his own business. But another boy who commits a minor theft to get some pocket- find the juvenile welfare agencies, the courts’ probation services,-the uplift and rehabilita- tion organizations anxious to teach him a trade, him a job, and “fit him for life.” We are {quents than don’t become for making dehabilitated. sure the non-delinquents Southern Methodist University, canvassing its former students, finds 80 percent of them would like to be their own bosses. it, are already disillusioned. “Citizenship Day” get better geared for rehabilitating the delin- ‘The other 20 percent, we take | On the Mall in New York’s Central Park, more than 6,000 Americans attended ceremonies as girls and boys were welcomed to the high estate of cmunshmp Each of the city's five boroughn contributed partici- Rlnu who, having passed their 21st birthday, will vote for the first time in the next election.
