TilK CHINKSK NN Alt.
The war in China is nothing but a
t
Chinese puzzle for the average news-'
paper leader. The battleground is so J
distant, the people involved are so'
alien in character and the causes are
so obscure that the conflict is dismissed
with a casual feeling that
whatever the outcome, it will make no
difference to the inhabitants of this
country, seven thousand miles distant,
liut, it is never Safe to draw corttriTJ-"1
sions as to the possible effects of what
seems to be a local disturbance on any
part of the globe, whieh has grown so
small, comparatively speaking, in the!
last score of years. Many people
thought, when Kurope blazed with
war in UM I, that it was just a family
re rap, and that the rest of the world
had nothing to do with it, but in a few
months, three-quarters of the peoples
of the earth were involved.
The recent and present hostilities
in what was once the Flowery Kingduin
appear to he another phase of
the e vil war which has waged in do-1
; ultory fashion for some four years.
The forces involved are larger, and
the employment of airplanes and other
modern devices of warfare have lent
the battle for Peking a dramatic aspcct
which have resulted in the Tso1
.in and the Wu Pei-Fu engagement
getting more than usual notice in the
press dispatc lies. But as a matter of
fact, it would seem that the defeat or
victory of either of these two chieftains
would be an inconsequential
math i h. the world at large.
Put. the Peking war is a manifestation
and a striking exhibit of the
state ol ehnos that prevails in the
\a-t k public of the Orient. It is because
of this significant aspect of the
: mhleni that the United States is
< ore than casually interested. The
American nation has long posed as a
friend to China. One of the outstanding
undertakings of the recent Wash
ington conference was to guarantee! '
Cue intfgrity of the Oriental country '
and to prevent its further despoiling j
hy outside powers. As a result of the ,
conference, the future of China is en- ;
hanced in importance in relation to the <
future of this country, because new '
obligations were assumed hy the Unit- v
ed States, as well as other nations, (
which hind us to take more than a j
passing interest in the welfare of i
China. China must he independent,
and it is imperative that order replace (
chaos and anarchy.? Columbia Roe- 1

Government Should Own
Postoffice Buildings
Washington, May 1. Kvery post
office building in the country should
In- owned by the government and the
old system of leasing buildings
should he "scrapped," declared First
Assistant Postmaster (Jen-ral Bart
lett today in. voicing disapproval of
a system which made it necessary
for the postollice department recently
to lease at an annual rental of more
than a million dollars a large structure
for mail purposes in New York
City. Mr. Bartlett said that the government
could save millions if a common
sense business program could be
laid before congress with a fair
chance of inducing that body to appropriate
a sufficient sum each year
for purchase instead of leasing buildings.
The Postollice Department has
sufficient funds to lease any building
to be necessary to the proper conduct
of the postal system, it was explained.
but no appropriation is avail
able for the purchase of a structure.
Plans recently were completed pro
viding that the department should
yease a building in New York City
for twentv vears at a rental of $25.
1)00,000. Had the department been
permitted by Congress to purchase
land and erect its own building, the
whole transaction could have been
handled for about $8,000,000, Mr.
Bartlett explained, adding that at
the end of the twenty-year period thj
government would have possessed the
buildings, whereas under the lease
the government will be out $25,000,000
and have nothing to show for it
at the expiration of the lease.
"The whole .system is radically
wrong and should be changed at
once," the Assistant Postmaster General
said. "Each year congress
should set aside a certain sum to be
used in the construction of buildings
and gradually as leases expire all
over the country the department
would find itself the possessor of a
system of splendid structures. This
method would result in the saving of
millions of dollars to the public. In
many instances the government is
made to pay exorbitant rent. For instance
the the department will lease
a building in a small community for
ten years, and because of the postoffice
site property i i its vicinity will
increase in value, the population of
the town may incrc >so ten-fold, and
when the lease expires, the owner of
the property very frequently demands
about three or four tim.-s the original
rental and we are < bliged to pay it
or look for some other property."
Mr. Bartlett said lie pposed the action
of the Joint Postal Commission
in recommerodinfr the lease of the
New York building. The eonimission
felt, however, it said, that congress
would likely oppose such a move at
this time and suggested that in view
of congested conditions in the metropolis
a lease he netfot iated.
"In this instance," Mr, ]tartlett
said, "the owners of the land and
those who will erect the new buildinf
which is to he used as an annex
o the present postotliec buildinir, will
>e olditred to pay taxes, borrow mon y
at the rate of possibly 7 pereent,
md meet other conditions which of
ourse would not have to he observed
y the government. The same condiion
prevails throughout the United
states and the sooner congress and
he people realize what it is costing
n dollars and cents the sooner corrective
measures will he taken."

Claims Discrimination *<
Against Americans A
Sofia, May 4.?American business
men h ue complain that the members
of the Allied Reparations Commis- J
sion whah controls the Bulgarian na- j
th nal budge i. and limits the country's <,*
expenditures are using their official
position; to further the enterprises
of their country and that discrindnation
is being practiced against the ?
United States. The membership of ?
the commission is limited now to
British, French and Italians. y
The complains became so emphatic A
lately that Charles Wilson, American fy
Minister, had to make representations
to the Commission on behalf of the !
United States government. J
The Bulgarian government has y
shown a predilection for American A
industrial concerns not only because A
of their businesslike methods, favor- Jfc
able prices and high quality of goods 1
but because the Bulgarians are anxions
to cultivate closer relations with V
America, for which Bulgarians have a V
strong sentimental attachment. ?
Much regret is expressed that the ?
United States is not represented ?on
the reparations commission, because *
it is believed that an American meml.er
could act as arbitrator in the V
many disputes that come before the y
Allied Commissioners.
Two American engineering firms, X
James Stewart & Company, of New t
York, and MaeDonald & Company, of
Chicago, have offered to construct n '
number of grain elevators, harbor \
improvements and other engineering &
works throughout Bulgarian and the i
government is ready to grant one or, >
the other the contract, but there is ;
sai<l to be some opposition from the +
Reparations Commission which must ^
he overcome. V

Samara Free From Famine n
? . 3
Samara, Russia, May 5.?Six ~
months' concentrated effort by Am-!^
erican, other foreign and Soviet re-1 <u
lief organizations has removed allj e*
visible traces of famine suffering <+
from Samara itself. The villages far .
in the country are desolate in ap- *
pearance and the starving can be seen
in almost very house in some of thein.
Samara, though still far from prosperous
looking, is a paradise beside
the tiny communes. ^
Six months ago starving refugees J
haunted the streets of Samara and
lay in filthy heaps by the river bank *->
begging and praying for bread. Now \
one has to go out and hunt for the
starving. A few children who whine
like lost kittens that they are hungry
and want bread stand with drawn
faces at the windows of-"cars at the 1
railway stations. These, however,
seem to be only professional beggars
like those who always have haunted
the churches and other promising
spots for alms in these half easteiv "
half European provinces.
The correspondent saw only one
public exhibition of starvation suffering
in Samara. One man, weakened wby
hunger, lay sobbing in the snow r
in one of the principal streets.
The people in the streets, in the |
market places and the theaters look !
well fed and contented for the most <j
part. It is not until one enters the t
big collecting station for stray waifs 1
from the villages where there are
about (500 pallid little living skeletons
that one would know in Samara
that famine still took its toll.
Samara province, with its 2,700,000 as
inhabitants, has been one of the worst
hit by the famine. The suffering and 1 ^
loss of life has been ghastly. Rut i ai
the widly heralded plea of last sum- d
nier that so many would die thi^jjjj
1 winter that there would be none left j
to harvest next summer's crops seems ft
now to have been only exaggerated ft
fancy. _ ^
In talks with provincial ofiiclais,.
local American relief workers and V
others familiar with immediate facts -c
of the famine, the correspondent was lJ
told that th re wr.s man power in j
| plenty. The largest estimate of ac P
| tual famine deaths in the province j
I to dat" was ten percent of the popu
(lotion or about 270 000.
The American corn fer adult feedj
in?r has now arrived in Samara in
i suflicient quantity to relieve all the j*
really needy inhabitants of the city .
itself and those of the nearest vil-; ^
lams. It is still slow, however, in!'
|)(
arriving for the outlying districts.
In another month it will have ar-j
rived in quantities suflicient to feed j j
7'Jn.OOO adults. Over 500,000 chi 1 -' ^
dren and adults are already being
fid by the American Relief Administration,
(Quakers, English, Swedes j .
and other organizations in Samara j U
, province. When the American corn
program is in full swing nearly half j
I of the tot.nl population of the prov-j
j ince will he fed from abroad.
Will Give Residence
To University h
! f
Tokio, May 4.?Marquis T. Okuma,] ^
who is now the head of the Okuma j al
family, has offered to give the resi-j
donee of the late Japanese statesman' g
to Waseda University. It is under- n
s'ood that the University authorities !i
I avo decided to accept the gift and to ,(
L/'I M t \\i* n*gi<h>n/'i> ?n o olnfn of % *?
pair. fi
The residence, which is now 2tt N
>c-nrs old, is valued at about 2,000,000
yen and around it is woven much of
.he history of the Meiji Restoration, g
for it was there that many of the ^
meetings of I he men who played so R1
prominent a part in that era were
held. fi
The university officials have decided n
to throw the building open to the pub- ?
lie as a tribute to the democratic spirit
of the man who did so much for de- 3
mocracy in Japan.
