Make Mountain of Molehill. Japan demanded surrender of four Chinese charged with murdering a native official sympathetic to the Jap cause. The British refused, claiming insufficient evidence. When Jap protests were met with offers of arbitration or mediation, Tokyo replied with demands which made a mountain of a molehill and en- uic aicuiMii incident into an argument involving Britain's entire Far Eastern policy. The Japs demanded that London give no aid to Gen. Chiang give up 50,000,000 Chinese dollars held a bank in the British concession, byand "loyally" with North China's new Japanese government. Tientsin, therefore, was merely part of a deliberate campaign to embarrass Britain and force her into concessions at a time when she was busy shooing off Hitler and Mussolini on the European front. Why? This goes back to the storybook tale of the Jap boy, the Chinese girl and the handsome young white lad, who, incidentally, had a of pair dirty hands. It goes back exactly 100 years to 1839 when Britain waged its infamous opium war, precipitated when Chinese mandarins protested against British import of opium from China. From this victory came the 1842 treaty giving Britain the highly coveted island of Hongkong. At the same i wT if? .

The throbbing sting of the mosquito bite results from a small object indeed, according to Dr. Miller's figures. The mosquito's stinger weighs only .000018 of a gram or .0000006 of an ounce. Punctuation is also lightweight matter. Dr. Miller's measurement disclose that a period weighs only .0000001 of an ounce.

Trend Changed in 1926. Thus began the new era in China. Through subsequent years the white man's exploitation grew until 1926, when Chiang came to power and began demanding that Occidentals be denied the unusual privileges which had made them practically overlords of China. But Chiang changed his tune in 1934 when Japan's new imperialism forced him to begin seeking help of Americans and Europeans. That search has continued in the two years since Japan invaded Peiping, flattened Shanghai and crushed Hankow. Driven ever westward by the mighty Tokyo war machine, the Chinese government has not collapsed as the victor planned, but has gained new strength from the support of western democracies. Today, though thousands of square Kai-she- k miles rest under Jap domination, than when the war started! No nation is blameless in China. All have exploited this ancient land to its utmost, so Japan need have fewer compunctions about the job she must do. This is no license to wage war and bomb innocents, but with her maddening she feels obliged to wipe out the white man in China. The reason is clear: So long as he remains, just that long will the Chinese have faith in Japan's inability to capture their nation. Conflict With 'New Order.' Banks in the British concessions shelter Chinese silver which belonged to governments supplanted by the Japanese, and which Tokyo needs to establish yen currency in China. Moreover, Japanese soldiers must move cautiously around foreign concessions lest international incidents result. In short. Ja plans a "new order" in which China will be swallowed politically and economically. So long as Occidentals get the cream of Chinese trade, this new order cannot be realized. But the Land of the Sun has a foolishly stubborn Rising philosoDhv. a patriotism that often borders on insanity and a disregard for tradition that may some day lead to a smack on the chin. Already starving from her war in China, Japan now risks involvement with the western democracies and Russia at a time when a new war would be national suicide. She wants no alliance with and Germany, yet the stubbornItaly resistance of Britain and the TJ. S. over the Tientsin incident is good evidence that only a European war can force London to capitulate to her demands. Such a development would hasten the inevitable pact between Russia and Britain, thus bringing the Soviet into full play on Japan's Manchukuoan border. Surrounded by enemies and inevitably meeting revitalized resistance in China is paradoxically more united countries usually "moved in on" more developed countries, Professor Nelson pointed out. Today, the trend is for highly developed.industrial-lze- d countries to seek to move in on less developed countries and exploit their resources. "The motives, however, of the old and new dictators, it seems, were the same," said Professor Nelson. "They sought and seek plunder, to better their own conditions, to take over the good things the other countries have." Propagandists Were Active. Professor Nelson revealed that in the "old days," 1500 B. C, the same type of political propaganda practiced today was known and used. No record, for example, was publicized of defeats, and mistakes were carefully concealed. "Rameses once admitted his was defeated but said that he army nPr.

The Bioom bill was changed in this respect so a to permit the use of American bottoms in shipping war supplies abroad. The prevailing argument in the house committee was that if ships flying the United States flag were barred from this trade, this would be another blow to American shipping, and a deterrent to bui!d:ng American ships. Under the Bloom bill ships flying the American flag may trans- jo king in the Capitol, the king said: "lam very glad to get your name in order to connect it up with what occurred yes- terday." All of which is chiefly of interest in that Mr Rnncpvolt'c Senator feeling about this Vandenberg particular candidate for his seat cropped out so visibly that even a visiting ruler, whose mind was concentrated almost entirely on trying to do the right thing and make an impression which would not let England down, noticed it. Danger of an 'Incident' That Might Lead to War Senators in this group insist that the danger of an "incident" is just as great just as apt to inflame the people of this country to a stage where war might result if a ship the American flying flag and manned by United States seamen were torpedoed as though United States nationals also owned the cargo she was carrying. They do not see any difference in the possible effects. They do not think that the shipment of munitions to belligerents should be permitted at all, and would like to prevent the shipment of all war supplies, but recognize that the opposition to them is too strong to permit their going this far. But in the amendment of the present neutrality act they are sure they can work up enough popular sentiment on their side to prevent ships flying the United States flag from sailing with loads of foreign owned munitions though produced in the United States and sold by United States nationals to belligerent ports. Bitterness Against Jones Something to Write About Developments in the presidential sparring are as thick and furious as though this were next instead of the Democratic spring National convention being a full year off Within the last week bitterness of many of the New Dealers against Garner has reached the danger stage, all of it resulting from what the New Dealers assumed to be a storv which ctntoH that the vice president would stick to the end, regardless of any other development, in his fight for the nomination. As a matter of fact, Garner did not know about this story before it was printed. But it so happens that it was written by the Washington correspondent of a Texas newspaper owned by Jesse H. Jones! Hence bitterness against Jones is something to write home about.
