WOMEN NO BETTER JURORS
When equal suffrage became ef
fective a decade ago it was predict
ed that government and politics
would be placed upon a higher moral
plane. This desired end has not been
achieved, and the same kind of poli
ticians are being elected as ever.
Women, too. are now named as
jurors, and in this field they do dif
fer from men, and not always in a
favorable light. Either they are more
careless and get caught when engag
ed in questionable practice or else
they have less regard for the proper
ethics.
Two Detroit women recently on a
Jury prevented the conviction of a
banker. Within a short time after
the trial they were found in the
rooms of the man they had freed.
The latest incident is that of a
Minneapolis woman sentenced to six
months in jail and fined $1,000 for
contempt of court by perjury. She
deadlocked a jury trying a promoter
for mail fraud. She had denied hav
ing been employed for years. It was
revealed that she had worked for the
man whose case she heard as a juror.
Possibly women offenders attract
more attention because they are rare,
but these cases would indicate there
is little to choose between men and
women when it comes to probity and
honor. From the Miami Herald.

NO WONDER WORLD
CONDEMNS JAPAN
When the martial spirit grips
country as it has gripped Japan, all
rules of logic that govern the thought
of a people at peace seem instantly
to be suspended. Otherwise Japan
would hardly express the surprise it
does at the world's reaction to its
present course in China.
How can the world feel other
than as it feels toward Tokio, par
ticularly when it bears in mind those
appalling conditions in interior
China which Mrs. Charles A. Lind
bergh touched ou Sunday in her ra
dio plea for flood relief, and whidh
David A. Brown, chairman of the
American sommittee. discussed in
larger detail?
The flood which swept the Yang-
tse basin last fall is the greatest na
tural disaster in recorded history
the greatest in number of lives des
troyed, in property wiped from ex
istence, in human beings pauperized,
subjected to starvation, exposed to
disease and thrown into abject
wretchedness. Roughly, two-fifths of
the huge population of China has
been affected in greater or less de
gree by the catastrophe. Three hun
dred districts in 17 provinces were
obliterated for weeks beneath the
water. It was as if the Mississippi,
between St. Paul and the gulf, were
suddenly to break its barriers and
roam unchecked for leagues on either
side, destroying the property and
killing or endangering the lives of
almcst twice the population of the
United States. The number of Chi
nese thus affected is given at 180
million.
Only now is the Chinese govern
ment, with such aid as it receives
from without, beginning to get .the
aftermath of the calamity in hand
Through the fall and early winter
its problem has been the preserva
tion of life among millions cf home
less, starving sunerers. aow it is
faced with the problem of restoring
these people to their land from which
the water has receded, and supply
ing them with seed and facilities to
plant their holdings. No other gov
ernment today is faced, or has ever
been faced, with so tremendous and
urgent a task, and no one is subject
ed to the distractions which keep all
authority in China on the verge of
dissolution.
Japan, selecting such a moment to
become an international hoodlum and
turn its savagery loose on a stricken
people, commends itself to the pro
found abhorrence of the civilized
world. Japan, to whom the world
rallied with quick, abundant sym
pathy when an earthquake struck its
acpital not many years ago, need not
complain now that it is misunder
stood when, instead cf lending the
solicitude and practical aid that flow
from any well-disposed people to a
neighbor in times cf stress, it seeks
to dismember a country already shat
tered in resources and morale by
forces quite outside its own control.

BRACING BUSINESS
Signs of a distinct improvement
in the financial situation are to be
seen in the announcement of the
comptroller of the currency that no
national banks failed in the last two
weeks of February, and no member
of the federal reserve system, which
also includes elate banks, in 'the
las tten days. The importance of this
announcement is shown by the fact
that February 9 was the first day in
nearly two years in which no bank
closed in the entire country. The im
provement noted by the comptroller
is the natural outgrowth of the work
of the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, and probably, of the con
fidence imparted by the knowledge
that the federal reserve act was to
be amended, to increase the lending
powers of the central banks.
The Glass-Steagall bill, so amend
ing the federal reserve act, is now
law, and while there may be seme
failures in the future (as there al
ways are under normal conditions),
it may be expected that their rate
will be greatly reduced. Tremen
dous stabilizing forces are in oper
ation, protecting banks by permit
ting them to borrow on good secur
ity that hitherto has been ineligible
for the purpose.
The protection of banks of their
depositors, however, is not the sole
object behind such measures as the
Glass-Steagall bill. They are expect
ed to improve the position of legiti
mate borrowers from the banks by
making additional credit available,
and so to promote greater business
and industrial activity. It remains
to be seen how the lending policies
of the banks generally will be af
fected by the new arrangements. If
they respond as they should, business
prospects will be correspondingly im
proved. :o: -

ONE TARIFF WALL
DESERVES ANOTHER
There is one economic measure of
reconstruction that President Hoo
ver has not recommended. How im
portant an element our foreign trade
has become in the crisis may be
realized from th seurvey of the for
eign tariff situation, for 1931, by
the head of the commerce depart
ment's division of foreign tariffs.
The increase in foreign import duties,
it is declared, play no small part
in the decline of $1,400,000,000 in
the value cf American exports last
year. No one can make a worthwhile
survey of this country's present de
pression and leave cut that fact.
The report is not hopeful concern
ing future trade developments. "The
measure in process." it says, "and
the plans in prospect in the various
countries early in 1932 foreshadow
still further contraction in interna
tional trade during the year ahead,
including many markets of primary
interest to American exports." The
British abandonment of a free trade
policy is accepted as "of a more or
less permanent character." The
British now seem committed to the
piinclple that one wall deserves an
other. Gold embargoes, quota limitations
and various "controls" now affect
foreign trade adversely, but the main
threat to commerce comes from the
general revision upwards of tariffs.
One nation can get away wtb a pol
icy of severe restriction on imports
and profit by it perhaps; but when
all nntions try it at once there comes
a trade slump like what comes from
a world war.
American branch factories abroad
are being established at a startling
rate in consequence of the narrow
ing cf the channels of international
commerce. An official statement of
the Canadian government shows that
United States industries are estab
lishing branch plants in the Domin
ion alone at the rate of mere than
two a week in order to get inside the
Canadian tariff wall. This is due
largely to Canadian reprisals against
the American tariff laws. Yet the
Hoover program of economic revival
ignores this situation. Springfield

A LONG SETBACK FOR SHORTS
In laying down the rule that brok
ers must obtain the expressed eon
sent of customers before lending
their stock to a short seller, the New-
York Stcck Exchange has bowed to
the public clamor that steps should
be taken to curb the more notor
ious abuses associated with short
selling. The handwriting on the
wall. If the exchange h2d done noth
ing. as seemed likely from the series
of defenses put out by its president
Mr. Richard hltney, it was very
probable that the Federal Govern
ment would have repaired the oinis
sicn. and instituted a much more
radical restriction than might have
seemed desirable.
What exactly does the new rule
mean? The ramifications are pretty
involved. Let us say there are two
speculators, A. and B, one a buyer
on margin and the other a short
seller. Speculator A gives an order
to his broker to buy a certain stock.
Since he is not buying it outright,
but has to rely on his broker to bor
row part of the money for him, the
stock remains in the possession of
the broker. Speculator B comes along
with an order to sell the the same
stock short.
Now, a short sale is a transaction
in which the seller contracts to de
liver a specified number of shares at
a price set at the time of the short
sale. Until he "covers" or buys the
stock in, he must borrow the shares
for delivery, as the buyer clearly
cannot be kept waiting. So Specu
lator B applies to the broker who has
so many shares on hand which his
customers have bought on margin.
And he borrows the scrip until he
has made his purchase, when the
borrowed paper is replaced with the
new.
This procedure can mean only one
thing. Speculator A, who buys on
margin in the expectation that his
bought shares, for which he has put
up real money, will rise in price,
finds that this very paper is being
used by Speculator B, who has only
borrowed it, to beat down the price.
It may indeed happen that the club
is wielded so effectively that Specu
lator A is compelled to throw his
scrip overboard at panic prices. If
there ever was a ridiculous situ
ation, here it is, and the fact that it
has been tolerated for so long may
be counted among the world's won
ders. For it is not only the loss suffer
ed by Speculator A that must be con
sidered, but the depreciation of in
vestors' holdings and, even more im
portant, the damage done to credit
and to confidence throughout the
tkuinoM structure.

grave abuses connected witt short
selling have been chary about ad
mitting the wisdom of what is often
said to be the next step namely
government regulation. The two ad
missions do not necessarily go to
gether. Government regulation has
put many lines cf economic endeavor
in a strait-jacket and has kept them
so confined long after the reason for
the initial discipline has disappear
ed. Nothing can take the place of
self-discipline.
Hence the action of the stock ex
Change is a Ftep in the right direc
tion taken by those who ought to
take it. It will automatically rule
cut perhaps half of the short sell
ing. To that extent it will protect
the holdings cf legitimate investors
equally with those of margin specu
lators against the hammer of thort
selling.
- :o:
UNWIELDY BUREAUCRACY
Just after Speaker Garner and
the house democrats had announced
their purpose to bring about a sweep
ing reorganization and economies in
the government service, the president
sent a message to congress demand
ing legislation for the same objects.
But in this coincidence there is noth
ing suspiciously political. The sub
ject is one which Mr. Hoover has
often pressed upon public attention
and upon congress. The movement
for administrative reform dates, in
fact, far back. Congress itself has
worked at the job. Senator Smoot
headed a committee which spent
months in ascertaining the facts and
which mr.de a report recommending
many changes some of them like
those now proposed by the president.
Cut little cr nothing has been done.
Yet the immense and unwieldy
government bureaucracy fairly cries
aloud for reduction and recasting.
Mr. Hocver puts the case well. There
is today an intolerable amount of
overlapping and inefficiency and
waste in the executive departments.
If the system were taken in hand as
it would be in the case of any great
business corporation, a multitude of
superfluous employes could be dis
pensed with, and millions could be
saved w'hile enhancing Instead of
lessening the efficiency of the gov
ernment machine.
The plan will be praised by every
body, but uncounted obstacles, per
sonal and political, will be thrown
in the way of its execution. This
has been the invariable experience in
the past. Whenever a scheme has
been put forward to abolish needless
officers, to check government agen
cies and bureaus in their constant
tendency to expand their functions
and to call fcr higher appropria
tions, powerful interests have gone
to work to block the endeavor. To
create a new commission or to en
large an old one is easy. To extin
guish it when it has become obsolete
or too costly that is the difficult
and almost impossible thing.
A similar opposition will undoubt
edly spring up against introducing
order and economy into the govern
ment service, whether by the presi
dent or by congress. But if it ever
is to be overcome, it should be and
can be at a time when the most
stringent cutting down of public ex
penses has become imperative. So it
is to be hoped that both Mr. Hoover
and congress will roll up their sleeves
and sharpen their knives. The coun
try will accept and act upon a plea
of poverty. New York Times.
