Somehow the theory of anti-Christian bitterness in China fails to lit known facts.

"Women don't fling diamond rings in men's faces these days," was a ruling worthy of the Inte Judse Solo-nion from the lips of Judge Franklin Taylor.

'Twas pretty hard luck for the new Matson liner Malolo. the largest and finest ship ever built In America, to run ngainst a Norwegian freighter off Nantucket and spoil her trial trip. Let's hope this Is a short -term hoodoo.

Long-term hoo-dooi are the worst things known to our shipping Interests. In a sense we suppose Lindbergh accepts at pnr the world's testimony that he is the bravest of fliers. But being modest he may recall the men who went out to meet German and went down to death when they Ttera unlucky. He had only nature's perils to face, and they, too, are worth remembering.

ONTARIO AND "ONE OAT TOURISTS." There Is a lot of weeping and walling and gnashing of teeth on the American side of Ontario's bonier as D. B. Hanna, chair.

Canada, according to Ha una. wrnta to show Americans "how It is possible to con duct a liquor store with dignity and propriety," Americans having given up the problem In despair.

When the mixture has settled down, however, Canada will get much profit from the Increase of legitimate, good-falfh tourists to whom permits nre not denied. And that Is about all even thrifty Scotch Canadians expected from the Ontario law. For they know how grossly Imagina tion distorts and exaggerates the pic ture of the Yankee eager to Ket drunk. There are such specimens to be found, bnt not in numbers to Justify commercial exploitation. But the respectable American who denies the sanction of the Volstead Law and is Inclined to meet It with peaceful nullification has no more Intention of sitting down to a case of whisky In Windsor than he baa of flying.

He will take his touring car to Toronto more readily and stay longer because of a liberal statute. That Is the limit of his encroachment on the hospitali ties of a neighboring land. AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT. The killing of a Nlcoraguan Liberal leader, Cabulla by name, and of a woman In hi company Is ascribed In a press dispatch to Captain Wil liam P. Richards of the Marine Corps.

Those who chronically seek to repre sent American troops as brutal In their dealings with populations of subject countries will no doubt make the most of this case. Those who cynically believe tluit coercion always breeds cruelty will take It for granted that here is nnntlier instance. Those who fancy that uniformed agents of the United States must outside our own territory at least always be rlRht will accept the somewhat puzzling version of the killing now presented at Its face value. The American without unreasonable bias one way or the other will find the matter somewhat more troublesome to Judge. In fiilrnesti to the Marine Corps, body of public servant with a loni; and honorable record, we must allow the presumption of Justice in the acts of a member of that corps until the opposite lie proved.

During the CBrly part of the occupation of Huiti bloodcurdling charge agnlnst the marines were made. They were Inquired Into and were disproved to the satisfaction of most unbiased Americans. The present case deserves full and fair elucidation. The public of thi country doe nut want Its action In Nicaragua to lie vitiated by the itos- slble wrongdoing of an occasional Unfit servant. It has reason to demand that tbe employment of force in Nicaragua lie offset by the utmost care to prevent force from degenerating Into outrage, Tha fnct that we hear little from the Nlcarnguan side of the situation should render us the more insistent upon Justice and publicity.

The resoha of the Board of Transportation to go ahead with the building of the Nassau street subway ends a long controversy between the city and the Brooklyn transit Interests now represented la the B.

M. T. The present administration Is not responsible for the Inception of that controversy, but It would be responsible for Its continuation, and It might well become liable for damages in the suit for t30.ian.nr) which the transit company began on the basis of an unfulfilled contract. Mr. Hylan's obstinate refusal to carry out the plain terms of a contract left this legacy of litigation to Mayor Walker and his associates in the Board of Estimate.

The only way out is that taken by the Board of Transportation. As chairman of that Board Mr. John It. Delaney is quite sure that the subway la unnecessary and deplores the construction which he Is compelled officially to sKnsor. He characterizes the subway aa "the most expensive, ex-travagant and useless piece of work ever undertaken by the city." This is the extreme opinion of an official forced against his own Judg ment to do something of which he disapproves.

It is not necessarily a correct opinion. The Nassau street subway will cost about It will be less than a mile long, running from the Municipal Building to the Manhattan entrance of the Mon tague street tunnel. The B. M. T.

contends that the construction will enlarge Its service by at least 50 rercent. It Insists that trade can be so readjusted by the use of tbe new line aa to lessen the now Intolerable congestion at DeKalb avenue and provide new facilities over the un. used tracks on the Manhattan Bridge. If thie opinion Is wrong Mr. Delaney has the opportunity to ex plain its error in detail, which would be better than a highly generalized condemnation.

At any rate, the city cannot hope to escape an obligation plainly written Into a contract. The attempt to do so simply to spite a transit corporation was folly of the worst sort. In this respect, as In others, a lesson lias been given as to tbe necessity of electing officials who have Intelll. gence enough to know that contractual obligations, no matter by whom made, can be legally enforced except In the case of proved fraud. City government Is ft continuing authority with continuing liabilities as well as continuing power and privileges, A STRONGER PRESIDENCY? Senator Fess presents In the Amer ican Review of Reviews a moderately expressed summation of tbe strongest arguments in favor of electing a President for ft third term.

He deserves commendation for forbearing to exploit the notion somewhat frequently put forward of late that the third term is not a political Issue. He treat! It frankly and fairly as a political Issue. He makes out for it what seems the best case of which Ita merits admit. Nothing In th Constitution stands against any number of terms for a President: granted. We have no huge standing army, no men on horseback, seeking to Insinuate themselves Into permanent tenure of supreme power by the way of endless re-elections; granted also.

The civil service system renders It difficult for a President to use the Federal officeholders as au obedient machine to perpetuate his power; true again. Many Presidents have entered office by succession, from the Vice Presidency, and their two terms are but a term and a fraction In President Coolidge's case the fraction waa only one year and seven months; this is likewise correct, and deserves consideration. Senator Fes to render Ms argument complete should consider mutters advanced on the other side. He should deal with the generally accepted view that our President Is already a much greater part of our Government than any single Individual In any other of the chief surviving constitutional and parliamentary government of the world. He should discuss the question whether we can afford to extend still further the one-man power by extending the expectation nf tenure attaching to the Prtsl-dentlal office.

He' should explain whether If we open the way to I third term we can hope to draw the line against other subsequent terms without limit.

Wbalen and his distinguished committee, while it will Include participation by representatives of the Army and Navy, ill, nevertheless, he primarily a community affair. The occasion seems to demand that the National Government be more effectively represented than would be possible, no matter how Impressive the welcome extended by Mayor Walker on behalf of this municipality. The proposed celebration at Roosevelt Field offers an opportunity for the President, through an official representative, to give Captain Lindbergh a real national welcome, on a fitting scale, as climax of the elab. orate ceremonies upon landing again on our shores. NEW WAVE LENGTHS JUNE IS.

The postponement for fifteen days of tbe reallocation of wave lengths announced for June 1 shows proper deference to the protesting broadcasters. No particular harm will be done by the postponement and some damage to the interests of affected stations may be avoided. While It is true that broadcasting stations have known for a long time that there wonld be a reassignment of wave lengths, many of them did not realize that' they would be taken off the air for nt least half the time. Some of them hove advertising contracts which will have to be terminated nt considerable loss. The Radio Commission can afford to be patient and considerate In dealing with those broadcasters whose privileges it curtails.

We are no longer In the height of the radio fcb-son, and radio fans are less impatient about llic interference from which they are still suffering. As a matter of fact conditions are already much improved. While the Commission made it clear to the protes-tants on Friday that it was well within Its rights in Issuing (he order chnnglng wave lengths and assign-ments on June 1. It showed a generous spirit In granting a flfteen-day extension of the time allowed to put the new assignments Into effect. THE BRITISH NOTE TO RUSSIA.

While there Is good reason to quarrel with some decisions of the British Government, the manner In which decisions are carried out la usually unexceptionable. That is certainly true of the note breaking off dlplomntic relations between Britain and Russia which Foreign Minister Chamberlain has Just dispatched to M. Rosengolx. the Russian Charge d'Affaircs in London. The note makes two dellnlte point.

It establishes clearly that th Russian have themselves to blame for what has happened. They signed an agreement to abstain from doing certain things. They continued to do them. Several months ago they received a formal warning to desist. They paid no attention to the warning.

And while the Arcos raid did not reveal tli stolen British document which Home Minister Joynson-Hlcks hoped to find. It proved what th British knew that the Russian Trade Delegation carried on Communist propaganda under cover of Its diplomatic immunity. The second point emphasised by the note I that th Russo-Britlsh break does not mean cessation of Riissn.Rritlah trade. It Is propoed that the Arcos Trading Corporation continue It business In London, 'it will work oi the som general plan on which the Amtorg Trading Cor. pnratinn carries on Its business In New York.

Enough Russians will Irmitted to remain to handle busl. nes matters. In view of American experience it is saf to predict that Just as British trade failed to gain much Russian business when Ruasla wa recognlyed. it will not lose much now that diplomatic relation ar broken. Premier Baldwin's timely announce ment that the break with Russia "does not In nny way mean or Imply war with Russia'' will allay appro ticuslou.

In sou way there I less at the suggestion of "clerkless stores." Take the grocery business for example. It is likely that close to DO percent of the purchases in retail stores are of package goods, In the handling of which the clerk's function is almost as mechanical as a slot machine could be. It doesn't take a genius in invention to Imagine how the system could extended end perfected so as tp get rid of the clerk. Who is responsible for the character of the package goods? The producer. How Is he responsible? In wide advertising to create a demand for them be has virtually given a bond to the public for their purity and excellence.

For every advertiser knows that keeping a name before people's eyes does harm rather than good If people are saying to one another, "I tried that and It was mighty bad." Mr. Smiley and the Remington Arms Company may he ahead of tbe age. But to say that anyone is ahead of such an age a ours is risky and not worth while. DOROTHY CARLSON, PRIZE ORATOR. Winning agnlnst six male competi tors, by the Judgment of Justices San-ford.

Sutherland, Van Devanter. Butler and Stone of the Supreme Court. Miss Dorothy Carlson, aged IT, of Salt Lake City, stands aa tbe prize school orator of the United States and will represent this country on October 14 In Washington, nt an International contet In which she will meet repre sentative of Canada, Mexico, Japan. France and England. Her silver cup well won.

Her oration on tho uni form subject of the United State Constitution reads well. The Supreme Court Justices did not expect It to be critical or analytical. That would be an invasion of their own field. Seriously, the effort of the New York, Times. and nineteen other newspapers In different parts of the ioun- try, by combined energies, to prove thnt those libel the United States who say oratory is dead here has merited disinterested approval.

Yet It may not be unphllosophical to add that for adolescence oratory must always be as nearly vital as poetry. Luckily or unluckily, we do not end adolescents to Congress or to the Stato Legislatures. And luckily or unluckily, oratory has little to do with making cur laws or our criticism or eveu our theology. It Is the printed pnge that persuade minds and makes sentiment today. Whether the radio will eventually change this condition and bring back oratory to Its own Is good guessing.

The answer will depend Inigely on the liberal or IIIIIhtiiI control of tbe broadcasting by the large Investors who nre likely to dominate the Interest for a series of future yeurs. Willlnm E. Boroh Is for letting doc. tors prescribe whatever amount nf whisky they think patients need. Wayne B.

By Oltvar MeKaa In tha Boston Eva-ning Transcript.) AMERICAN trade with China, strange as it may seem In the light of the recent turmoil in that country, has not suffered a setback from the Nationalist -movement In China. On ths contrary, there has been a material gain. Figures compiled by the Department of Commerce for the first three months of 1 927. as compared with the three corresponding months of 1926, show a net gain In exports and imports combined of 7 2-10 percent. Exports to the United States from China registered an Increase of a little over percent, and exports from the United States to China show a percent itain.

This may not be a normal expansion, but it does show, In the opinion of officials of the Department of Commerce, that the effect of the revolution on American trade and business activities in China has not been as adverse aa one might suppose from press reports Indicating a large exodus of Americans from China. Several reasons for this are given. For one thing the turmoil In China does not by any means cover the whole country. There are vast areas whore no revolutionary armies march nnd counter march, and the peopl in these regions continue their buying habits. Another reason Is that the military leaders of Chine, rely on trade taxes for a big share of the money necessary to maintain their machin of government.

It the trader make hi exit, the military leader lose a good bit of revenue. A case In point Is the recent crisis at Hankow, a city which was the headquarter for a large foreign colony. When conditions became critical, the American and othr business men went to the Hankow government and said In effect, "We are willing to close up shop and leav the city, If you want us Th Chinese nu thorities did not really want them to do this, with th result that American business houses ar still open, as are those of several other foreign countries. Our consulate at Hankow has not been closed, though most of the American women and children hav either gone horn or hav returned to the United States. Only two consulates seem to have been closed out of a totnl of over 20 American consulate.

those at Cbangsha and Nanking. a a a I American firm In China 1 numbered 617 and American citizens 12.CS0. The increase In tho American population has been very rapid, about fourfold during the past 20 years. Custom report for show thnt in thnt year ther were 24 American firm and 410 resident American. In 1890 there were I American firms and 1.132 resident Americans.

It Is Interesting to note some figure for other nationalities, in 1MI ther were 2.402 British residents. 474 German, ITS French, 78 Russians and 472 Japuneae. In 10 ther wer 1.317 Britishers. C48 German. S8 French, lit Russian and tit Jnpanese.

In 18:1 the British colony had grown to 1 4,77 i. th German to 2. 231, the French to 1.161, th Russian to and th Japan to 201.704. Tho missionary population mnkes up one-half of Die American citizens registered in China. About 4.0O adult missionaries ar registered, 2,100 women and I.

100 women and 10 children. American in tha. Chinese Government service totnl about 100 men. whoso anil children bring the number up to 223. In addition to this there are about 400 American of non-specified oc cupation.

Shanghai boasts the largest Amer ican colony, about 4,000. Here tha mercantile population outnumber heavily the missionary group. Next to Shangal is Tientsin, with about 400 American, followed in order by Hankow and Hongkong. Canton and Hongkong are the home of the bulK of the population of American-born Chinese, of whom about 1,250 ar registered at American consulates through th country. Most of the Chine who hav come to the United States are from Canton.

Of tha 4.100 American women In China 1.600 are unmarried, the majority of whom are encaged in missionary work. It may be interesting to not that there are fewer single men than single Women In tho American population in China. Shanghai can also elalm th largest number of American firms doing business In China. There ar 302 American firms registered here. Following Shanghai In order of Im portance from the American stand" point are Tientsin, Hongkong, Han kow.

Canton and Harbin. Nanking, the scene of one of the major anti-American demonstrations, only had 12 American firms registered. Canton, the Nationalist stronghold, had 30. The missionary population has left China to a far greater extent than th American mercantllo population. The missionaries, however, seem to be returning, according to report reaching Washington.

All of them. It is believed, plan to return when conditions are such that It Is possible for them to continue their missionary, educational and mdlcat work. Hardly any American hui nes men have shut up their offices, except In isolated interior points, and the feeling here I that few of them will have to. GOVERNMENT official in Washington baae their prediction, that we will not permanently loa any trade with China, on the economic argument. China is economically dependent on the outer world for many of th thing her people need.

Economic force undTll th present revolution, and whichever faction triumph, and whatever gov crnment la set up, China will eon-ilnu to need foreign good. anf will continue to need foreign markets for her products. In othr word, China cannot erect a Chines trade wall of Isolation to epurnte her from th rest nf th world. of cuume, rondltion Just now ar not very favorable to an expansion of American business. New firm are not likely to enter the Chines Held until the air clear.

But thlntia are nut as bad as they mignt, ut-a, from the point or view of American trade. They might better, but, again, they might be worso.
