UNDERSTANDING JAPAN
The Japanese are a sensitive peo
ple. They resented the interference
by the ccuncil of the League of Na
tions in the Manchurian question. As
one liberal Tokio newspaper said:
"If the members of the council had
faith in us, they would not have
thought of asking us to refrain from
any action which might lead to fight
ing and bloodshed."
In view of the Japanese reaction
to the League, there was no reason
to suppose they would be less resent
ful of American invocation of the
Nine-Power treaty and the Kellogg
pact. No doubt they sincerely be
lieve that the rest of the world has
mistaken their motives. Have they
not time and again declared that
Japan has no territorial ambitions
in Manchuria? It has sent troops
there, according to the Japanese,
merely to protect its citizens and
their property.
Yet the same newspaper that has
deplored the council's lack of con-
fidence in Japanese intentions
quotes with approval the "many sen
sible things" which a former German
ambassador in Tokio has to say about
Manchuria. Here is one of them: "Dr.
Self (the former German ambas
sador) says that Manchuria is indis
pensable to the national life of Ja
pan, and that any attempt to check
Japan in Manchuria would be de
plored by friends of world peace .and
co-cperation. Another prominent
Tckio newspaper states the Japanese
case in these frank words:
Manchuria and Mongolia are
both for her national defense
and for her economic purposes.
More plainly speaking, they are
the first line of defense for Ja
pan's existence, and there would
be no guarantee either for the
safety of this country or the
peace of the far East if they
were left with China. . . . Pure
ly as a matter of self-defense.
Japan simply cannot let Mon
golia and Manchuria alone.
In the light of such statements.
as well as the general Japanese pol
icy of declining to use the method
of peaceful settlement through inter-
national action, the outside world
may be forgiven perhaps for mis-
understanding the situation in Man-
churia.
If me United States cannot per-
suade Japan to make its attitude con-
ff.rm to the treaties it has signed, at
least his country can help mobilize
world opinion on the subject, and it
can crcrhasize its si ecini interest in
the protection of American Interests
in Manchuria.

FARM OUTLOOK BETTER
The year just ended was a dark
cne for American farmers. Their in
come in dollars was 26 per cent be
low that for 1930, or 42 per cent un
der that for 1923. These figures are
deceptive, of course, for dollars are
worth more. But prices of nearly all
farm products were low, that of
wheat being lower than at any time
since the middle ages. And an Oc-
tober rally in prices was not as per-
manent as hoped.
The outlook for the coming year,
however, is much more encouraging. I
In wheat, which is to some degree a
bellwether for most other farm prices
there is a large carryover; but ir.u?h
of this is of unmerchantable lew I

duced by increased feeding to live

WOMEN AND DISARMAMENT
Within a few weeks the personnel
of the Disarmament Conference will
be made known. The women of every
country concerned are asking pointed
questions of their various govern
ments in regard to their claims to
direct representation at that confer
ence.
In Geneva, during the first week
I of September, eleven of the great in
ternational organization of women
joined in a single disarmament com
mittee for the purpose of centraliz
ing the work already begun by in
dividual organizations and of facil
itating co-operation generally.
These organizations were repre
sentative of women of the learned
professions, business women, co-oper
ative women, women engaged in so
cial work and in work for temper-
jance .besides that vast body of wom
en who go to make up the peace so
cieties which have sprung up in
nearly every part of the world. They
pledged themselves to assist "by
every means in their power in organ
izing the vast and growing public
opinion in favor of the conference
and the realization cf the world
wide cry for disarmament and secur
ity."
They pledged themselves, however.
to do more than organize public
opinion. Among themselves, they ar
ranged to make personal appeal to
every government concerned in the
conference for the inclusion in its
delegation of at least one woman "rep
resentative, or, in the event that in
certain countries no women be found
capable of carrying the weight re-
auired of a full delegate, to ask that
at ,eagt one woman shou,d nclud.
ed among that country's technical ad
visers. During the months that have pass
ed, women have bestirred themselves
to direct world affairs into paths of
greater good will and clearer under
standing. In the Far East, the wom
en of bcth China and Japan have
joined in the dispatch of telegrams
to other women grouped in Geneva,
affirming their desire to end hostil-
ities in Manchuria. The women or
Asia have met first at Damascus and
then at Lahore to discuss world peace
and the things which pertain to
peace.
The women of the Balkan coun
tries have looked across their war
like frontiers and joined hands easily
where men have found it hard to do
so. Tne women - oi America nave
toured from the east coast to the
west, gathering upon their disarma
ment declaration the signatures of
all those who desire world concord
The women of more than forty other
countries have collected similar sig-
natures running into millions
Governments of the world will do
wH to heed these signs of the times.
Excessive armaments and the eco
nomic slump both have their roots
in the same mistaken cause lack of
confidence. The nations must disarm
themselves of their suspicions as well
as of their military and economic
weapons.
The organized women of the world
are in no doubt about these things
It is to be hoped, therefore, that
when the choice of delegates comes
to be made governments will put
fuestiens of sex aside, and be guided
rather by considerations of suitabil
ity and fitness.
:o:
ANOTHER CHANCE AT
THE LAME
DUCKS
It is both an obsolete and unrep
resentative system that allows mem-
bers of congress to retain their seats
and to engage in legislation for a
year or more after they may have
been defeated at the polls, and at
the same time to hold out of office
and away from congress those who
have been elected to represent the
people. This arrangement, which
includes the short or "lame duck"
session of congress, belongs with
the conditions of nearly a century
and a half ago, when the Constitu-
tion was adopted, when weeks or
(ton. In the short session there may
be scores of house members and 10
month before the session opens.
They no longer, in any real sense,
represent their districts and states.
making all sessions of congress be-
early in January and placing the
inauguration date of the President
in the same month, instead of in
March, as at present. This is both a
sensible and . just arrangement.
against which not a single reasonable
objection can be urged. The house
repeatedly has refused to concur the
resolution, wltnout offering any
ground for its opposition. What will
it do now with the senate resolu-
ion?

THE STATESMANSHIP OF LAC0R
Tne statement oi secretary ot La
bor William N. Doak calling atten-
tion to the relatively few labor dis
putes in the United States in 19311
compared with the usual prevalence
during times or. ousiness recession is
worthy of emphasis. Mr. Doak did!
not supply any figures, but they will
soon be forthcoming in the Monthly
Labor Review. It requires no figures,
however, to agree with a conclusion
which has so obviously been borne
out in common experience.
One year-end review issued in
Wall Street goes so far as to say that
"the outstanding fact of 1931 was the
statesmanship of American labor."
There is a good deal of warrant fori
the statement. Never before In the
industrial history of the United
States has such a rapid wage defla -
......
tion been carried tnrougn in one
year. Factory pay rolls have been cut
by no less than 27 per cent, though,
of course, the figure reflects a good
deal of unemployment and short time,
as well as wage cutting.
While it is true that an offsetting
factor to this wage cutting has been
the fall in commodity prices, 14 per
cent on the average, the whole of the
droD has not been felt in the budgets
of the American wage earner, the
cost of living having declined only 9
per cent. Contrasted with the 27 per
cent fall in pay rolls, this has not
yielded much comfort to American
labor, but the unions in general have
remained level headed, and no recur-
rence of such industrial conflicts as
were part of the American scene be -
fore the war have been seen.
Clearly, Secretary Doak is entitled
to claim great credit for his depart-
ment in helping to maintain indus
trial peace during this period of vio
lent readjustment. But he would not
deny the greater contribution made
by the mutual consideration between
labor union officials and company
executives.
United States Steel cut its divi-
dends before it touched wages. Beth -
lehem has Just adopted a whole town
in order to prevent the social degen -
eration which usually follows whole -
sale discharges. Railroads and the
unions are talking over wage prob-
lems in an atmosphere of give-and-
take which is markedly at variance
with old practices. In such circum-
stances it is no wonder that Indus -
trial disputes in terms of index num-
bers, using 1916 as 100, fell fromlsolve as we celebrate this birthday
117 in 1917 to 17 in 1930.
It is to be hoped that management
and labor will remain on the alert tolto teach as though the whole texture
preserve this fine record, each under-
standing the other's problems, and
both determined to do their share in
helping the government perform that
financial renovation which is the pre
requisite to the return of better
times.
:o:
FRANCE FEARS ONLY WAR
Thrift, plain, old-fashioned thrift
the admonition, "Put money in
thy purse" always has been and
still is a high moral law of French-
life.
A self-contained agricultural coun
try, with a rich, Jealously closed
market in its colonies, France is not
dependent upon foreign trade. She
is closer than America or Germany
or England, or even Japan and Italy,
to the simpler mode of life where a
family, by diversified farming, sim
ple needs and deft skill, can sustain
itself in happiness indifferent to
events beyond the seas, or even be
yond the township line.
The Frenchman has clung to the
peaceful trough modest security of a
life without luxuries, beneath the
shade of his own vine and fig tree.
If the present economic blizzard
rages unchecked, it will not mean
the somersault of capitalism into
communism, as some suggest, but
rather the return of the world to
the French outlook, to simpler, self-
contained, economic family units.
France alone is not overwhelmed by
our highly complex machines, fran-
tic foreign trade and ballyhoo sales
vMTa cro n1a I
vaa&ca.
The western world, excepting L
France, is economically wltnout in-
sulation; overproduction in one land
leaps like lightning to otner nations.
France alone can seem Indifferent.

machine-ruled industrial countries.
And so long as the French spend
a little less than they gather in, so
long as they thriftily keep population
down by birth control, a world de-
pression will see them growing rich-
er and Increasingly indifferent to the
specter of an international trade de
bacle. All that France fears Is something
which will upset the simple security
of her self-contained life a war.

LIGHT OF IDEALISM
NEED OP THE HOUR
In times of darkness and confu-
- laion the supreme need is light. The
light of great ideals has been the
saving force through all the cen
I tunes richer In vitality than any
race, more abiding than empires,
more enduring than monuments of
stone. Ideals are practical. Like the
I beacons that guide men through the
I seas and the air, they are most need-
Jed in times of storm and difficulty.
i Some nineteen hundred years ago
Jesus Christ gave to mankind the
i
greatest body of idealism the world
has known. With none of the trap-
pings of classroom, curriculum,
grades or degrees; in an age crush-
fed with ignorance, superstition, bru-
I tality, and corruption by the mere
l force of living and teaching Christ
i . .
(started a new epoch; an epoch so
(significant that the calendar dates
from his birth, so powerful that it
has changed the whole course of hu-
man events, so beneficent that untold
millions of men have been lifted
higher in the scale of life
I It is not plain that what the world
(needs just now is a new devotion to
great ideals? In statecraft, in busi
i ness. in industry, in law, in the
church, in science, or in teaching can
anything be more intensely fruitful
and practical than a renewed faith
in the higher and finer things? Hour
after hour, day after day, we are all
facing situations where there is
I choice bet wen the higher and the
lower. It takes but a little common
sense and a will to choose- the high-
ler path to change the whole course
of a life, a school, a nation, or an age
A little more faith, a little more
idealism and the confusion of today
! may give way to the fairest dawn
the world has ever seen
Teachers inspired by the living
example of the Great Teacher are
I prepared to work and sacrifice as
I never before. Thousands of them in
America where banks are bursting
with gold have taught for many,
many months without pay proving
in the hour, of need the sustaining
1 power of a great devotion. As we
celebrate this Christmas, let us dedi-
cate ourselves anew to those lofty
ideals that are the fruit of untold
centuries of aspiration and hope, of
sacrifice and struggle, of heroism and
1 courage. In the faith that teaching
is the surest way, let us highly re-
fof the Great Teacher to teach bet-
iter than we have ever taught before,
of civilization rested upon our teach
ling. That is the supreme need of this
hour. The Journal of the National

THE HABIT OF JUDICIAL
SETTLEMENT
Tbe States of New Jersey and
Delaware are now presenting their
respective arguments to the United
States Supreme Court's special mas
ter over a boundary dispute in the
Delaware Riber. The chief issue is:
Who owns the valuable oyster beds
on the Jersey side of the Delaware
River and Bay? Delaware's title is
based on a grant by King Charles I
to the Duke of York in 1682, who in
turn ceded this territory to William
Pe-nn. New Jersey disputes the val
idity of these grants.
However interesting these points
are. it Is far more interesting to
note th method to which these two
states have resorted to settle their
boundary dispute.
The controversy is quasi-interna
tional and the Supreme Court sits
as a quasi-international triDunai
The court is called upon to iron out
a dispute which cannot be dealt with
by Congress or settled by the Legis
lature of either State alone. The law
which it applies to controversies be
tween states is international law
based on equity and fair dealing. The
moral authority and prestige of the
court in the sanction for the obed

There were times in American his

when its prestige" was at a low ebb.
It has through the years grown in
effectiveness and power. In the same

World Court depend upon the ' f re-
quency with which the nations re

will contribute to that development
if the Senate gives its advice and

Much of Old
Paper Currency
Being Horded
$611,436,579 Reported as Outstand
ing and Which Is Largely
Hoarded by Owners.
What has become of the $611,4 06,
579 of old-series currency the large
sized bills which according to re
cent Treasury reports is still out
standing? A clue to the wherabouts of a large
part of this money has been discov
ered by the American Economists
Committee for Women's Activities.
A good deal cf it is very likely hoard
ed in old stockings, behind mantle
clocks and in safe deposit boxes, by
housewives and otheis.
Evidence of this hoarding has come
to the committee since its recent an
nouncement of the "It's Up To the
Women" platform, urging America's
29.000,000 women, through thtir
control of most household expendi
tures, to take leadership in encourag
ing business and employment.
"Recent sales events sponsored by
merchants of this city have brought
into circulation quite a few of the
eld style large size currency, indi
cating that there is money in the
country," the Chamber of Commerce
of Keokuk, Iowa, informed the com
mittee. Reports from other cities confirm
ed this impression.
"An interesting instance came to
my attention recently," according to
Elizabeth W. Wilson, economist, of
Cambridge. Massachusetts. "In a
moderate-sized New England city the
merchants united in putting on a
real bargain day. In that one day
about 75,000 sales were made, aggre
gating over three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars. The most interesting
point was that about twenty per cent
of the purchases were made with the
old large paper currency."
The hoarded money, the Commit
tee pointed out, will buy much more
now than it would have at higher
price levels a while ago. It will not
buy as much when prices go up
again. It is therefore wise to bring
currency out of hiding.
Eleven distinguished economists,
from Yale, Princeton, Harvard.
Northwestern, and other leading uni
versities, make up the committee,
with Dr. Warren M. Persons, con
sulting economist, formerly of Har
vard .as chairman. The seven-point
platform of normal spending and
saving with which they have appeal
ed to women of the country was
prompted by an editorial, "It's Up to
the Women" in the Ladies' Home
Journal.
The platform has been approved
by hundreds of community and na
tional leaders in business, education
and economics, including Secretary of
the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur,
state governors, college presidents,
and women leaders of the great worn
en's club organizations of the coun
try. Many of them are giving their
active services to organize the eco
nomic power of women against busi
ness stagnation.
