Vice-Conaul will create a bad reaction in this country and.add fuel to the campaign against recognition of the Chinense Communista, If the facts are as stated by some American officials and the consular agent was “utterly, brutally beaten” by Com- } munist police, the people of the United States should not be satisfied with a “re- -aetion.”” The report from China is that the consular agent was severely beaten and forced to sign an apology for a traf- fie ineident in which the consular shief got mixed up with a parade A Communist newspaper in Shang- hai intimated that foreigners in Red China can expect the same treatment in return for their “imperalistic arrogance.” The Tewepaper insists that the Reds will not tolerate foreign nationals who treat “our people with arrogance, roughness or slight.” Sooner or later, if the United States expects to assume a responsible place in world affairs, the officials of this coun- try must recognize the necessity of ex- tending adequate protection to the repre- sentatives of this government. While it might be foolish to take punitive action againatt another «country because of the Mistreatment of one man, the nation can- Jwt always excuse undignified and brutal behavior toward American official repre- sentatives, The United States should require its official representatives in other lands to be serupulous in their behavior and it shodld stand ready to back them when necessary. If they are injured by those who would seek to humiliate the United States, the government of this country might consider retaliatory, or punitive, action. In time, the process would prob- ably involve fewer difficulties than that of permitting American officials to be mis- treated abroad aaa. The average youngster can tell his, or her, parents, how life should be lived, and then some Life's Little Problem: Trying to de- cide whether the stir and bother, econ- nected with going off on a vacation trip, fs too much to undergo. how many persons, one in a hundred, one in a thousand, one inten th0lipand, whe | don't want méney, even going to the ex- | tent to refuse to accept what is offered to them. Key Westers might have read a story yesterday of a Biloxi, Miss, woman who refused to accept 40 percent of the income from # $300,000 trust fund. The money was willed to her by a woman for whom the legatee had worked. The legatee asserted that the maker of the will “was not herself” when she had it drawn up. It has been many a year since we have heard the term “tainted money,” but old- time Key Westers may recall when a relig- ious organization refused to accept a grant from the late John D. Rockefeller because the money was “tainted.” However, since that time tens of millions of Rockefeller bequests have been accepted and «pent to help persons who needed help or to pro- mote the interest of the country at large “The love of money is the root of al! evil,” the Bible says. That is not altogether true, because evil proceeds from a hundre { and one other sources. It may be added that money creates more worry than any- thing else. Not only the needy worry about money; not only the man or the woman who has a fairly good income worries, but the men and the women who have large amounts of money, ranging into millions of dollars, worry about it. Indeed, | it has been said that the more money a man has the more he werries about it, due which he has investments, some of which almost always are in straitened financial cireumatances. But, despite the fact that money causes worries, you will have a hard job finding another person, like the Biloxi woman, who refuses to accept it We see by the papers that a man was killed the other day by an “unloaded gun:” |1¥ ra cmeter co CLP OWTH 4 meena he will not repeat the mistake HOW TO FIGHT POLIO _— More thantwo thousand cases of poliomyelitis have been reported up to duly ist, which moves the Public Health Service to urge “every precaution during the hot summer days,’ Cases reported this year are about one-third more than last year. Better reporting and diagnosis of | + infantile paralysis account for part of the inerease. The Public Health Service urges vaca- tieners, week-end travelers and every body else to follow this advice : Don’t get over-tired Don't plunge into cold water when over-heated ; avoid “den chill Watch resort tow. to see if they re port polio and then take extra care about getting in crowds, washing hands, «wim ming in polluted water Inspect tourist cabins and camp «ite for teo-numerous flies Use care if traveling in polio areas in the polio season, remembering that Sep- | tember is the peak month Keep your general health as good a possible The fight against infantile paralysi has not been wen It cannot be decided altogether by contributing to a fund to let somebody else battle the disease Ev ery citizen can follow the advice of health officials and do his, or her, part in avoid ing conditions which, according to the experts, might encourage an attack If Russia knew what is in our hearts there would be no war. UNLOADED GUNS DANGEROUS It's a sad story that comes from a neighboring state, where a seven-year-old | girl was killed by a playmate. The children | had gotten hold of a shotgun and “didn't know it was loaded.” Apparently, the gun had been kept around the house although the owners were under the impression that it could | not be fired. The hammer had been | jammed and, besides, it wasn't “loaded.” This tragedy may serve a useful pur Pose if these who read this article wil! take extra precaution in regard to fire arms that may be lying around the house This is especially important where chil! dren play because parents, even of the |" utmost intelligence, can never foresee what children will do or what they will | get to play with. | : Graduates At 83 LUBLIN, Poiand—)—It took him a long time, but he finally made the grade.
