These j.mple terms, is announcement m of of the ap-L- n neutrality act would point or from the necessity of protecting American interests, to use force in putting Japan back within its own borders. The basic reason why these thinkers argue against a firm American attitude, however, is that China never has been subjugated. China has been attacked; it has been overrun from many quarters and it is now being overrun again; but it has never been conquered. That sounds like a 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 territory. They have been content to do things in their own way and to absorb Western civilization slowly. In other words, the Chinese have generally allowed human nature to change only as human nature does change through the years. never been a 1 comparable to the un-1is which Japan ikable outrage certainly in China; m a emitting It is a an tr ir in modern times nerr'i upon the name of the Jap--- and the smooth work-ip;e people the Japanese military machine the hos-cie- S sever be able to offset of the Ris-a- u the subjects which f Vsun are creating by this display a sutahty. the Tokyo government it is fighting a war, to say yet in China is aggression n st'" Japanese the a3 much a war as though ) f0j taken had and Canada id ire's other and had jms against each laimed to the world that they though 2e.

Somehow this burying ground stuff reminds me of hired critics of other mens efforts. The difference between professional book reviewers and the other obituarians is that the latter do their work after you pass on, but the reviewers cant wait until you're dead to write your literary death notice for you. Maybe critics are to authors what fleas were to David Harum's dog; they keep authors from brooding on being authors. o Catching Barracuda.

President McKinley appointed him comptroller of currency and, after four years of service, Dawes organized the Central Trust company of Chicago. He was general purchasing agent for the A. E.

The treaty is simple enough and yet what is written there is only a sha- dow of what it all means. The Soviet, while apparently not desiring to engage Japan in hostilities, is unwilling to see Japan go too far in extending her frontier. It is only a short while since Japan set up the puppet state of Manchukuo. It borders on Russian territory and the feeling along that border has been none too harmonious. It seems quite logical then that the Soviet was desirous of showing to Japan the possibility of an attack from two sides if Japan forces her tentacles too far inland in continental Asia. ' Also, it ought to be mentioned that the treaty between the Soviet and China may be influential in Europe. The general understanding is that Hitler has committed Germany to the aid of Japan if the Soviet moves against the island power. Besides this circumstance, the Soviet is unwilling. if one may judge circum stances of the last two years, to encourage the ill will of Great Britain Dictator Stalin does not want to have Great Britain and France arrayed against him and he can see obviously that Great Britain and France, as well as the United States, must favor China over Ja pan in sentiment even though it may never be voiced in an official pronouncement, cho-se- n View of the international section of Shanghai after a bombing from the sky by Chinese planes.

But, once 'it beginz to dawn upon you that you could go further in another occupation, it is time to change. The greatest advancement lies where your talents and interests are greatest. Charles Dawes, who made the under-slun- g pipe famous when he became Vice President of the United States, might have been relatively unknown if he had not changed his mind about the occupation he would follow. He was born in Marietta, Ohio, in 18G5. He attended the public schools there and entered Marietta college, graduating at the age of nineteen.
