WCELE NEEDS MORE
AND BETTER ODIUM
In announcing the withdrawal of
substantially all their forces from
the Shanghai area, the Japanese
foreign office explains that the ac
tion is taken to "end the world-wide
odium which has fallen upon us."
It i.:. doubtless true that there are
otbei reasons why the Japanese ere
ready to quit Shanghai. The expedi
tion has been expensive; it has
caused considerable domestic odium,
in addition to the world-wide variety
mentioned; the Manchurian adven
ture is considered far more import
ant; and. while the troops remain,
they are in constant danger of

erihelesE. the reason assigned by the
foreign office for withdrawing troops
should not be scoffed at, for it marks
pr :haps the firs time in diplomatic
history that "world-wide odium" has
ever been considered worth mention
ing iis a factor in determining a gov
ernment's foreign policy.
The conventional usage in such
case-is is to declare that "the objec
tive has been attained," or that "or
der and tranquility have been estab
lished." or merely that "the situ
ation is now inch as to justify the
removal of our effectives." It would
be difficult to ciu at random a na
tion which has explained any action
by .-aylng thai it was based on "the
Japanese government's desire to con
form to world opinion." Indeed, with
advanced countiies like ours the
mention ef world-wide odium is usu
ally sufficient to insure policies even
more odius. The Japanese have a mo
nopoly of the held. They go on to
point out that things may get worse
and that the other powers on trie
spot will have a job or: their hands.
But. as for them, world-wide c. - in
is too painful further to be endured.
Whatever the inwardness, the sin
cerity of the deep-laid purpose of
this announcement by the Japanese,
it is a great tiibute to odium. What
t lie world needs is l etter and more
odius odium so that nations, tempt
ed beyond their strength toward ag
gressions, may rot have to rely upon
failing credit, military humiliations
aitd economic boycotts to bring them
to their senses, but may he deterred
by worldwide odium in time to check
them on their way to war. victory,
reparations and bankruptcy. Wit
this official admission of edium as a
cause for removing troops, we ex
pect to see these withdrawals accom
plished more expeditiously in future.

months for a prestige victory over

XNICELE JONES REPORTS
The name, "The National Urban
league," does not convey to many
the purpose of this organization.
But when it is known that Knickle
Jones is its administrative secre
tary, its identity is better recog
nized. Th3 league is concerned with
spreading the knowledge of condi
tions under which Negroes live and
work in the eities to which they have
migrated in such vast numbers in
the last three decades. Twenty-live
ears ago the late William H. Bald
win, president of the Long Island
railroad, appreciating the signifi

making the k-agur an agency of na

with the essential facts. It was in

There have been report.- from time

not the total elimination of discrim

his people, in the cities especially as
well as anyone else, erpresses the
opinion that "possibly his spirit has

WAIL STREET PRIME
GGIDESICK MARKET
Wall street is suil the world's
prime market for gold bricks. Not
just the little piker gold brick; a
thick plating of gold over lead that
supposedly used to be sold tc inex
perienced hicks, but real big bricks,
with a thin wash of golden words
covering nothing at all. The less
they know about an investment, the
mere some of our leading '"financiers"
seem to think of it. Ivar Kreuger,
"Swedish match king," war. able to
borrow 15 million dollars on no oth
er security than his name.
Donald Duiant, president of the
International Match company, re
veals how much farther than ever
that 15 million dollars, the Swedish
adventurer's word was trusted. A
block of 50 million dollar German
bonds which Mr. Kreuger obligingly
sold to the International Match com
pany vas supposed to be deposited
in Berlin. But when American bank
ers finally got around to looking in
to it, they found the bonds had been
transferred to Stockholm and used as
security for a loan.
So the tale goes on. The bankers
who floated the loan are stuck with
eight million dollars worth of Kreu
ger stock, Mr. Durant fays, 7hether
eight million dollars v.-as paid for it.
or the stock was merely commission
on selling the debentures, has not
been revealed so far. But many
times eight million dollars in deben
tures was marketed, and was paid
for in real money by private in
vestors.
Put on a fur coat when you go
to Wall street, and drive a big car,
and don't pay cash for anything, if
you want your credit to be good.
Don't ask for any sum not in the
millions, either. If the handsome
stranger should commit suicide
later, it will be time to find out if
there was anything behind his win
ning words.
So shall you be a great financier.
So shall you qualify as a capable per
son to tell how the country should be
run. And remember whatever hap
pens there must be no investiga
tions of bankers and brokers. And
no matter how many people have
lost their savings because great fi
nanciers were great fall guys, it will
always be "congress" and the "pub
lic" that is to blem for anything
wrong in the country. Milwaukee
