light and the people will find their own way Scuttling Ships OEN. FLETCHER, of da, conservative member of the national upper house, says he has informalioi. from private sources abroad that German and British shipping interests are planning to buy the U. S. lines and the American merchant lines when the U.

S. shipping board offers them for sale, es it proposes to do soon. The senator's private information may or may not turn out to be correct. But there can be no disputing the soundness of his suggestion to the shipping board. shipping he says, to stop this foolishness and cease advertising ships for sale.

They have done everything they could to induce private enterprise to take hold of shipping. There is nothing left but to go on and operate the The administration, however, seems determined to give away the ships the people paid for. If not to American private shipping interests, perhaps to foreign private interests. If half the ingenuity and energy that has been used in efforts to destroy our American merchant marine had been devoted to building it up, it is a safe guess that we might now have a merchant marine to be proud of- That, of course, would be serving the interests of the country as a whole, rather than any special interest. If, however, the administration is bound to serve some special interest, why not use the facilities of the shipping board to serve the farmers.

Provide very special low rates for carrying our farm surplus to foreign markets, for instance. ----Nature vs. Chemists CHEMISTS meeting in cago have been making all sorts of disturbing predictions. The time is coming, they said, when life as we know it will no longer exist. Human activities revolve around a chemical laboratory.

Farms will be abolished and wc eat synthetic food made in factories. Scientists will regulate our health, complexions and even our stature by the truck they feed us. Clothes, our houses, and almost everything else will be synthetic, and, of course, scientifically perfect. All this distressed us very much until we read other news. Out in California, wc arc told, the crops of fruit are so great that even that state, famed for its prodigious feats, is unable to handle them.

The horn of plenty has overflowed. The cooperatives, which have spread the fame of California's products far, are swamped. Prunes, peaches, apricots, grapes and apples must be left to rot. From the middle west comes news that the great harvest is progressing satisfactorily, and yields are better than had been anticipated. Oats, barley and rye are turning out better than had been expected.

There will be a bumper com crop if nothing unforeseen happens in the next few weeks. Potatoes arc so plentiful that growers are having trouble in disposing of them. Cotton is improved. We sigh with relief. Surely it will be many years before we reach the time foreseen by the chemists when we will have a concentrated iood tablet for'breakfast in place of our grape fruit and and a dish of yeast instead of a cut of roast beef.

Too Many Wives ITY the poor young cultan of Morocco, Mouley Mohammed. He is only 1G, is more modern than his forefathers, has western id'as, and apparently is anxious to do a good job of ruling. But he has met his first problem, and has been unable to solve it. The problem is his harem, for his lather willed him some 300 wives along with the throne. The young sultan found himself face to face with all sorts of scheming and intrigue, with 300 bickering, jealous ladies, each seeking to become the official wife and mother of a future sultan.

Mohammed allowed himself to become worried, and small wonder. Finally, so the gossip goes, he fled and is now in France incognito as an ordinary tourist thinking it over. Young Mouley Mohammed deserves sympathy. Few men are so sought after as he. Yet everyone knows it is not always easy to keep family peace and harmony even in a monogamous land.

Multiply ordinary domestic problems by 300, and be glad you're not a sultan. ----Political Libel TGN falsehoods, once started, a.e hard to overtake. In any kind of a politica- contest, the normal standards of truth are ruthlessly disregarded. For that reason friends of Sec. Hoover will welcome emphatic manner in which Sen.

Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa has refuted the familiar yarn to the ef- feet that Hoover forced farm prices down during the war. Brookhart enjoys the confidence of the farmers and knows whereof li speaks when he declares that in- stead of holding prices down, Hoover them up drring the New Threat APAN is pursuing a bold and dangerous course in China. Her latest maneuvers cannot fail further to antag- cnize the Chinese people, and to turn world opinion against Ler. Baron Tanaka, author of the aggressive policy of Japan toward China, has bluntly informed the Nationalist government that Tokio will not permit abrogation of the Chinese-Japanese commercial treaties.

Nanking had served notice that the treaties were cancelled. Tokyo stated that unless the Nationalists change their attitude toward Japanese interests in China, Japanese government may be obliged to take such measures as it deems suitable for the safeguarding of the rights and interest assured by the i This is nothing more nor less than an ultimatum threatening war. There may perhaps be some justification for Japan's refusal to permit summary action by Nanking, for her interests in China are many and varied, and her nationals numerous. Nanking's contention that the treaties are invalid because forced on China is none the less tenable. It will be more difficult, however, for Japan to justify the position she has assumed with regard to the rich territory of Manchuria.

The Nanking government was reported to have negotiated an agreement with the Manchurian government in furtherance of the plan to accomplish the unification of the country. Manchuria was to retain controi of local affairs, but Nanking was to handle foreign relations; Manchuria was to accept the principles of Sun-Yat-Sen, founder of the party, and the Nationalist flag was to be hoisted in Mukden, the capital. Japan stepped in. She warned the Manchurian government that the contemplated agreement could not be carried out. Thus China is not to be master of her own house.

Manchuria is an integral part of China. It contains 25.000.000 people, is rich in resources and is largely undeveloped. Japan will seek to justify her position by saying that her ownership of the South Manchurian railway, her of the Kwantung peninsula, her extensive commercial interests, her dependence on Manchurian raw materials, and the presence of her citizens makes it necessary for her to keep the Nationalists out. The fact will remain, however, that she has again demonstrated that she regards Manchuria as her own, and the belief will be strengthened that she will seek to swallow Manchuria as she did Korea when the time is opportune. The nine-power Washington treaty pledged its signatories, which included Japan, to the sovereignty.

the independence, and the territorial and administrative integrity of It will be exceedingly difficult for Japan to square her present attti- tude with that treaty. -----o----- You Can Hear Holy Trombone at Winona 'RAPS COUNTY FEEDING BUMS By WILL ROGERS A LL I know is just what I read in the papers, and what I soak up in the way of loose conversation as I meander around, I or i I as the hearer might call it1 what he may, up at Winona Lake.

It is on a beautiful lake, and they have lots of nice summer cottages and homes, and bathing and boating, and Preaching, and praying, and mabv a little cussing, when the collection is slack, or the Mosquie- toes are unusually famished.

But all in all it looked like they had an awful nice time there. It was originally started by the Presbyterians, FOR the Presbyterians. But as expenses run pretty high on maintaining a big place like that, why they had to take in some outside talent. These Presbyterians still maintain a few of the old Scotch traditions, so they figured we better let in some Methodists. They will kinder contaminate the place but what we lose in prestige we will make up off them in dues.

In other words we will make 'em pay for being Methodist. The bars even got down so low that the Babtists go in. Well that was the last straw with the real old Presbyterians. But after it was duly explained that it would lessen his carrying load, for each and every one of these amateur religionists, why the real old Presbyterian spirit of generosity showed itself and he said, sure, we will let in, get their admission at the And now the thing has just drifted along till Protestants are practically welcome, and they all get along fine there togcather. It a Babtist preaches that morning, why a Methodist will lead the singing, but a Presbyterian will take up the collection, and some Congregationalist will lead the prayer, and implore the Lord that everybody at least get an even break out of what was collected.

But they are all living there just as happy as can be, and a finer bunch of folks you never saw or played to. Humor? Say there is where you get it. in the towns and country where all these people come from. Its Billy Sunday's old stamping ground. He is the first one told me about it.

EDWARD C.

WADE JR. Better Policemen ORE and better policemen are urged in a report by a subcommittee of the Baumes Crime of New York. Undoubtedly impro trailing methods to equip policemen for their work would aid in curbing crime. The public expects much of the average patrolman without due regard for the many-sided nature of his work or the difficulties under which he labors. Coupled with this attitude is a general lack of respect for the dignity of his occupation.

The public too often regards a policeman as a necessary evil when as a matter of fact he is a valuable and highly necessary public servant. However, the law itself is responsible for many of the troubles. Sumptuary legislation has multiplied and complicated his duties and a disproportionate amount cf his time and energy is expended in the routine and wearisome task of enforcing traffic regulations. Your real policeman does not much care about ransacking a private home in search of home-brew, or arresting motorists. By all means educate the policeman for his work.

It will encourage higher standards of men and performance; but in the meantime, relieve him of the stigma of being a snoop and let him direct his activities against those who actually war against society- even base drums, for collec tion, than inspirational purposes).
