Japan announces a desire to see
extra-territorial rights abolished in
China at the earliest possible mo-
ment. but considers the effort now
premature.

So say we all of us. No nation
wishes to maintain its own courts in
a foreign country. and to assert for

its cltisens there rights which as-
tives do not enjoy.

America abolished extra-territor-
iality in Japan as soon as it was as-
sured that Japan had established
courts and a Judicial system to which
free men used to institutions of Jus-
tice could properly resort.

The world will do the same for
China. and in it America. with or
without Japan. should lead.

But only on the same conditions.

So long as the Chinese have courts
to which they will not themselves
willingly resort; so long as the hon.
esty of Chinese business rests on the
dishonesty of Chinese courts: so
that no one will do business with a
man whom he might conceivably
have to sue. so long will America
take Chinese courts at the Chinese
valuation.

The Chinese have to live with
them. or reform them, and they
have. by keeping out of court. learn-
ed to live with them. We do not
have to make that choice.

When the Chinese establish hon-
est courts, on a Judicial system based
on Justice, we will submit ourselves
to them. It is up to China.

Plumbing Is America‘s

The new Maison liner Malolo will

Thus. once more, America Judges

Other ships may have more sise,
more speed. or more of other com-
forts or luxuries. We will have mor

On shore. European houses may
have more beauty. more. art. more
dignity. more tradition and semi.

the ages. instead of for one genera-
tion.

What care we?
bathrooms.

Our hotels may not have some of
the guess of the best abroad. But
they have a bath in every room.

We may ourselves sometimes lack

NEW YORK. Aug. b.——Business
has prospered for Cain’s this sum-
mer. That means that business has
been poor in the Broadway theaters.
For Cain’s is the graveyard of stage
failures. a great storehouse beyond
Tenth avenue and in the precincts of
Hell's Kitchen. When a show flops.
as Broadwsyites put it. the scenery
and properties are carted away to
this great barn.

The business was established so
years ago by John J. Cain. an ex-
policemsn. Then a cart and one
horse sufficed for the trips between
the Great White Way and the ware-
house. This summer Patrick J. Cain.
the founder's son. bought a fleet of
new electric trucks and it is his
boast that he can move 70 leads of
props a day.

There in the mouldering dust of
the warehouse are the specters of
great ambitions and gre‘ater defeats.
A bed upon which some aspiring Ca-
mille expired. Gilt crowns and regal
trains that swept across the stage as
make-believe empires tattered in the
balance of a queen‘s romance. Rain
and storm devices of an audience as
the mortgage was foreclosed on the
old homestead.

And about it all the atmosphere of
tobacco ashes. chips and empty
glasses where gamblers have sat and
lost. - .

But all that is interred in Cain's
is not without hope of redemption.
The manager of a new show will
resurrect some of the properties.
dust them off. refurbish them and
start a new venture. And so it is
that a bit of scenery in this great
boneyard sometimes has more lives
than a cat.

C O

In some of the aristocratic sections
of Brooklyn there are blocks of old
stone houses. severe in their slin-
plicity. cold in their austerity. Some
of them are occupied by scions of
the very toniest families of New
York’s old society. The atmosphere
of aloofness still clings to them. yet
if you were to enter one of them

great fire places and a general air
of comfort and hospitality, And if
you were to look out the back win-
dow you would are beautiful lawns,
flower gardens and green srbors.
Which all goes to show how deceiv-
ing appearances sometimes are.

He came from a state just the
other side of the Mississippi. his had
his passport made out. He was all
in readiness for a trip to Europe.
having obtained two weeks leave of
absence in addition to the two weeks
vacation his firm gave with pay. He
had planned this trip for years. but
he forgot to make resen'ations on
the steamer he intended to take and
it was booked to capacity. So he
leafed around New York for a day
to take another boat and now he is
not going to Europe. at least not
this year. “You see. I had never’
been to New York before and I had
no idea there was so much of inter-
est to see here." he said. "Now I've
made up my mind to see America
before I see Europe."

Which reminds me of another
young fellow frOm the middle west
who has been working in New York
several years. Having come this far
east he had planned to go to Europe
on his next vacation. After listening
to a Californian telling about a fal~
len forest of onyx.- a ledge of pure
lads and a hot spring in which eggs
can be boiled while a. step away
icicles can be picked from a cave,
he has decided to use his next va-
cation by going to Seattle. San Die-
go and return in two weeks.

POLITICAL

By CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.—-This
country is on the point of a show-
down. It will mean one of two
things.

Either:

i. We'll settle down to funds-
mentalist rule. with no more yowl-
ing about it. Or.

2. We'll be liberalized aplenty-
over-liberalized. the fundamental.
ists say.

This is the opinion of politicians
~fundamentsl and liberal alike-—
who drift in and out of Washing-
ton. swapping reports concerning.
the conditions they observe in their
various baillwlcks.

C O I

Politically the fundamentalists
control the country—not effc ively.
everywhere, but more or less, ner-
ally. nationally speaking. How they
gained control nobody quite knows.
It's a situation which just "kinda
growed."

Before anybody realised it. here
it was. The liberals don‘t like it.
That's to be seen on every hand.
Nor do the fundamentalists like
the way the liberals thrash around.
kicking against the pricke.

Who really is in a majority it's im-
possible to tell. There never's been
a conclusive test of strength.

The liberals have given ground.
bit by bit. without actually putting
up much of afight. This is done
with-they're about to make a stand
—more, to put every ounce into a
desperate effort to drive the funda-
mentalists back.

So fundamentalist and liberal poli-
ticians agree in reading the signs.
They agree. too. that the fundamen-
talists won‘t be satisfied with a more
defense—they’ll. do their utmost to

IS DUE

ilnlsn liberalism off for good.

The struggle won't center about
any single narrow issue—prohibition.
evolution. some one detail of public
morals. some particular so-cslled blue
law.

The campaign will open—vine
opened. in fact—with a little detach-
ed. lrmishing of this sort. but these
ski mishes will increase in number
and spread. and finally merge into
one big. general engagement over the
question of the relationship between
religion and government. '

0 e 0

It won't be a fight between de-
nominations. It will be a fight be-
tween those who ssy religion (mean-
ing the fundamentalists) is interfer-
ing in governmentubetween them
and the fundamentalists.

The fundamentalists. to be sure,
deny they’re doing any such thing.
but the liberals insist they are. and
that they're trying to interfere
more and more—~gettlng away with
it. too.

O O

A religious light is the bitterest
kind of a fight. The thought of it
makes the politicians shudder, but
they see it coming.

The charge is being more and
more openly made every day. by
liberal protagonists. that religion
is increasingly. not only influen-
tial. but dominant. in Congress. in
White House counsels. and even in
the courts.

. O .

It's an issue the liberals intend to
push. It's dangerous. but if it can
be 'made to stick—Americans tradi-
tionally don‘t like religion and gov-
ernment mixed.

Let the liberals present it con-
vincingly enough. and they believe
they'll have a strong case.

 

But can they do it? That re.
mains to be seen.

. The Last Frontier

 

THE SEISMOGRAPH.

The structure of light is one of the
most perplexing problems facing the

pioneers upon the frontier of science. ‘

In general light acts as though it
were composed of waves. It seems
as though this were actual the case.
for it is a simple laboratory experi-
ment to measure the lengths of the
waves of different colored light.

But in studying x-rsy and related
phenomena. scientists have found
that light frequently acts as though
it were composed of definite little
particles each containing a definite
amount of energy. This energy con.
tent has also been measured and has
been named the quantum.

Now scientists are faced with the
difliculty of picturing a structure
for light'whioh will explain both the
wave phenomena and the quantum
phenomena.

This has been attempted recently .

by Sir Joseph Thomson. famous
British scientist.

Sir Joseph believes that the'elec-
trons are held to the nucleus of
atoms by what he calls "tubes is!
force."

When an object is heated sufficient.
ly it gives of! light. Sir Joseph says
that this is because the electrons are
moved out into larger orbits. This,
he says. throws the tube of force
int a loop and it becomes detached
an travels out into space as a
"closed ring of force."

The quantum theory matches up
with this theory because such a ring
ef-‘feroe’ would contain a deficits

 

 

Mm , ‘V

and that the so-eslled wave length is
only the diameter of the ring of

force.

A seismogrsph or earthquake rec-
ording machine has just been instal-
led by the Canadian Department of
the, Interior at St. Anne de la Pocao
tiers. Quebec.

This is near the center of area
greeted by the earthquake of Feb.

This quake. which. it will be re-
membered. was felt slightly in parts
of the United States, was strong
enough to shake down chimneyi and
smash windows in Quebec and near.
by towns.

The Canadian Government does
not anticipate another severe shock
in this region. But it is a well-estab-
lished fact that any rather severe
shake is usually followed by a num-
ber of minor tremors.

The new seismogrsph will obtain
records of these .as they occur.
