Tax dodgers should not be permitted to vote; that might awaken them to a sense of duty, unless it is too blunted to be awakened, which probably is the case. The Rey. Gerald L. K. Smith, who launched the Committee of One Million to war on radicalism after Huey Long's Share-the-Wealth movement was knocked into a cocked hat, has been named in an action for an accounting of the profits of his new organization. When these soak- ers of the rich get their clamps on coin of the realm, they let others do the sharing | of wealth.

The great danger that Japan faces, as | her effort to detach a few northern prov- inces leads her into a real war, is that the Chinese will be able to maintain their op- position and thus force Japan to major fi- nancial efforts in supporting the campaign across the water that separates the two countries. This will be extremely serious difficulties in maintaining its in the econome world. In other words, the Chinese, unable to defeat the Japanese army in battle, make the North China grab so costly as to While the Chinese would suffer they would inflict far greater disaster upon the Japs if their strategy succeeds and both nations would probably have to begin over again at the bottom of the economic ladder. A WAY TO INVITE WAR place Some agitation is being made in vari- ous sections of the United States with the purpose of persuading the government to invoke the Nine-Power treaty in connec- tion with the Far Eastern situation. This is the pact binding the nations including Japan, to “respect the so ereignty, the independence, anl the terri- torial and administrative integrity of China.” It may be a good idea ibs take action under the treaty but, let there be no mis- understanding about Japan, which is read to fight any nation which interferes with her “pickings” in the Far East.
