BRISBANE
THIS WEEK
One Thing Important
Paid for Not Doing
SfO a Month
What Do We Want of
Japan?
One piece of news In the world
Is Important to the United Slates.
If Washington doesn't know It, the
governments of Europe and Asia do
know It.
That news Is Amelia Ear hart’s
flight, nonstop In eighteen hours,
across 2,-fOO miles of the Pacific
ocean, from Hawaii to the United
States. All American citizens, espe
cially those on the Pacific coast and
elderly, out-of-date gentlemen who
are supposed to provide for the de
fense of this country, should ask
themselves:
If ii young woman, entirely alone,
without sleep, no assistant to hell*
with navigation, can fly, unseen,
across the Pacific ocean and land
In California to receive a hunch of
roses, eighteen hours from Hawaii,
what do you think five or ten thou
sand powerful bombing nnd swift
pursuit planes could do, coming
from Asia or from Europe?
Pennsylvania is an Important
tobncco state. The government Is
paying farmers not to grow tohacco.
Just as It pays them elsewhere not
to grow cotton or wheat nnd not to
raise pigs.
After you have spent your whole
life driven by necessity’s lash to
produce the utmost possible, this
brings sweet peace to have the
government pay you for not doing
it. even if you can’t quite under
stand It.
Nobody has yet arranged to pn.v
newspaper publishers for not writ
ing editorials, but that may come,
in the glorious new era, and, here
nnd there. It might be a great bless
ing.
Washington reports that Presi
dent ltoosevelt’s message to con
gress about pensions for the old will
suggest “only” $40 a month.
The Washington correspondent
who says “only” does not know
what $40 a month would mean to
millions of old people whose lives
are made bitter not by deprivation,
not by poverty, hunger or cold,
but by the fact that they depend
upon the cold charity of others, par
ticularly on the charity of relatives.
Give $40 a month to the old that
are dependent and you will bring
happiness into the last years of mil
lions of lives, and that would be
worthy of a great nation.
The honorable Japanese chief of
Information In the foreign office
says the United States Is planning
an attack on Japan. Any Japanese
who believes It lacks the usual
intelligence for which yon give all
Japanese credit. Nations start wars
because they want something. What
does the United States want from
Japan?
Uncle Sam, In a mild fit of idiocy,
is now giving away the Philippines,
Asiatic Islands richer In resources
than the Japanese islands.
We got those Islands from the
Spanish war. Should we start an
other war. spend billions, kill many
of our Japanese friends and burn
up their country by fire bombard
ment from airplanes merely to get
more Asiatic islands, to be given
away later?
The thirst of the people means
profit to the government. Uncle
Sam during 1034 collected an aver
age of more than $1,000,000 a day
in litpior taxes, a total amount of
$374,300,232. Beer alone yielded
$200,000,000; spirits distilled in
America. $121,000,00; imported spir
its, $13,000.00(4; Imported wines,
$6,000,000. Men will pay for what
they want and endure taxation
cheerfully.
It is easy to understand why tens
of millions follow the trial of Bruno
Hauptmann for the kidnaping and
killing of the Lindbergh baby with
such intense interest. The trial Is
a mystery In itself. Gradually un
wound In court like the chapters in
a detective story, it holds public
attention, the horrible nature of
the crime increasing the Interest
tenfold.
Eighty-nine Russian fishermen,
living on the edge of the Caspian
sea, ought to be grateful to the
American Wright brothers that In
vented the airplane. With their
boats they had drifted ten days on
an Ice floe and were starving.
Along came a big Russian plane,
flying low, to drop tiny parachutes
that brought food, tobacco and al
cohol. Then the fishermen, hope
lessly lost, out of sight of land, got
In their boats and the airplane
guided them to the shortest route
to shore.
This reporter sat next to Amelia
Earhart at a dinner recently, did
not recognize tier, thought site
looked, as the French say, "like
somebody,” asked, “Do you write,
fly, or what do you do?” She said,
“I fly a little, and I write a little."
Sho will have a great deal to write
now.

Worth While to
Get Child’s Idea
Little One’s Point of View
Should Be Regarded
as Important.
By MARY STAIICK KEKH, Nations)
Kindergarten Association,
New York.
The family was getting ready for
an auto ride. Little George was in
the back seat of the machine, where
he usually rode. But there was com
pany today, and one of the guests
was to sit in his accustomed place, j
George objected, and as lie could not
express Ills objection in words, since
tie could not yet talk, he began to
squirm and fret.
"Never mind," said the visitor who
was to sit In his place, as stie saw
the worried look on the face of Ids
mother, who was going to lift him
over onto the front seat. "George
will be all rigid; lie will sit on my
lap; he is Just anxious not to be left
out."
"All right, you can try It; perhaps
he will," said his mother.
The visitor seated herself, took
George on her lap, and peace
reigned. Never was a child more
content than little George all during
the ride.
When the visitors left, they were
commenting on the good behavior of
the little fellow, and one said, "I
[ suppose the trouble we have with
children often comes because we
don’t understand wlint they are
thinking, and they are too young to
tell us.”
"Yes," said the one who had held
George. "If we can Just take their
point of view, our problems will be
much simplified; and after all, it Is
not hard to see what is in a child’s
mind, If we Just consider how we
would feel if we were In his place.
It becomes second nature when we
are with children much, to under
stand their thoughts and feelings.”
As her companion agreed to this
statement, she asked. ‘‘Do you re
member little Charles, and how the
nurse accused him of crying because
of temper wiien he was only a few
weeks old? The real cause was that
they had waited too long to give him
his bottle.
"When the nurse left, and his
;—
mother had to prepate his bottle, the
baby cried while she was preparing
it; he did not know she was at work
getting ready to satisfy his hunger.
I carried him into tne kitchen, where
lie could see tier preparing the bottle,
and at once his cries ceased.
‘‘Just Imagine how you would feel.
If you were hungry, and unabie to
move a step to get lend, and the per
son in charge of you had left you,
apparently ignoring your need."
‘‘I suppose we should cry Just aa
hnrd as the baby did, if not harder,'*
said her companion.
"We are always expecting chil
dren to understand us," said the oth
er woman, “but we should remember
that it is our place to understand
them, and to take tneir point of view,
for then we can do the things that
will lead them to have confidence in
us, to love us, and obey us.”
