Hlrota blamed the Chinese central
government for the present fighting
because it refuses to "co-operate”
with Japan in “maintaining peace"
in eastern Asia. Japanese military
action against China, he said, was
taken to make impossible the re
currence of the current hostilities.
"Japan," he said, "has no other ob
jective than to see a happy and
tranquil Nprth China and Sino-Jap-
anese relations so adjusted as to
enable us to put into practice our
policy . . .
"Since China, ignoring our true
motive, mobilized her vast armies
against us, we can do no other than
to counter by force of arms."
The emperor, in addressing the
houses of parliament, greatly im
pressed his subjects with a review
of the war, arriving at much the
same conclusions as Hirota had.
Tbe session of parliament was
called to consider the appropriation
of $592,000,000 for the campaigns in
China, raising the total of the na
tion's war chest to $737,000,000.

P HOENIX, ARIZ.—A gentle
man took me sightseeing
through a cemetery that
abounded in proud mauso
leums and stately shafts.
I figured he wanted to show me
that rich folks continue to enjoy the
utmost luxury even
after becoming de
ceased.
How futile and
how vain are most
tombstone inscrip
tions. They give the
dates of birth and
death — events in
neither of which the
departed had any
say-so — unless he
committed suicide.
And Just as the av- Irvin S. Cobb
erage graveside eu
logy is a belated, plea for the defense,
offered after the evidence is all in.
so an epitaph is an advertisement
for a line of goods which perma
nently has been discontinued.
Somehow this burying ground
stuff reminds me of hired critics of
other men's efforts. The difference
between professional book review
ers and the other obituarians is that
the latter do their work after you
pass on. but tbe reviewers can’t
wall until you’re dead to write your
literary death notice lor you.
Maybe critics are to authors what

- More and more
throughout the country
are demanding
Brutal that the President
Japan invoke the terms
of the American
neutrality act with respect to the
war—undeclared though it is—that
is raging on Chinese soil These
editorial expressions obviously will
have considerable weight and will
convince a very great number of
American citizens that President
Roosevelt ought to invoke the neu
trality act and, by so doing, pro
claim that Japan is the aggressor.
That, in simple terms, is what a
presidential announcement of ap
plication of the neutrality act would
mean.
There probably has never been *
brutality comparable to, tHe- un
speakable outrage which Japan is
committing in China; certainly,
never in modern times. It is a
stain upon the name of the Jap
anese people and the smooth work
ing of the Japanese military machine
will never be able to offset the hos
tility which the subjects of the Ris
ing Sun are creating by this display
of brutality.
Although the Tokyo government
has yet to say it is fighting a war.
the Japanese aggression in China is
just as much a war as though the
United States and Canada had taken
Further, if our President declared
that war exifted between Japan and
China, doubtless Japan would be
encouraged to declare war on Chins
formally. In that event the Jap

one will hear arguments that the
United States
Some Say ought to keep its
Handa Off hands off the Far
, East situation.
That school of thought takes the po
sition that the United States is not
obligated either from a moral stand
point or from the necessity of pro
tecting American interests, to use
force in putting Japan back within
its own borders.
The basic reason why these think
ers argue against a firm American
attitude, however, is that China nev
er has been subjugated. China has
been attacked; it has been over
run from many quarters and it is
now being overrun again; but it has
never been conquered. That sounds
like • broad statement but history
proves its truth. The Chinese
through all of their thousands of
years of history have managed to
survive and maintain their racial
characteristics and traditions. They
never have sought additional terri
tory They have been content to do

♦** By VIRGINIA VALE***
R ADIO amateurs played a
big part in the prepara
tion of the dramatization cf
Peary’s dash to the pole, pre
sented recently. If they had
not come to the rescue of the
authors, Henry Lanier and
Alan Bunce, it might have
been a year or more before
this program could have been
heard.
In dramatizing historical events it
is necessary to get permission of all
living participants to impersonate
them on the radio, and of Peary’s
North Pole expedition Matt Henson,
the negro who was the only one to
accompany him on the final dash,
Capt. Bob Bartlett and McMillen
still survive.
It was easy enough to locate Matt
Henson; he was right in New York.
But BarUett and McMillen were off
somewhere in the Polar seas.
Lanier and Bunce appealed to va
rious clubs of radio amateurs and
for days the short wave channels
were filled with calls to the taro po-
1 lar exploration ships. Finally com
munication was established with the
Bartlett and McMillen ships, and
permission to go ahead with the pro-
$ra m obtained.

American missionaries and busi

was largely the result of their life’s

The Reichsfeuhrer s speech was

timed in view of the current friction

with the United States and Great
Britain, long has held to the idea
that private initiative and private
brains always are better than gov

I call attention to this develop
ment for another reason. It hap
pens that about three years ago
members of President Roosevelt’s
so-called Brain Trust were planning
exactly the same thing for the Unit
ed States.
Strangely, the terms by which the
French government, which is now
completely socialistic, took over the
railroads of France are identical
with those which were under consid
eration by the Roosevelt Brain
Trust,
It may be news to many persons
to learn that the bunch of theorists
who infest our government once
actually drafted a bill for action by
congress to nationalize the Ameri
can railroads. That bill would have
taken over the rail lines for their
bonded indebtedness and dould
have left nothing at all for the stock-
Holders. The French radicals have
that thing in national-
railroads.
