.. SINO-JAPANESE RELATIONS
. By J. W. JENKINS
?;l"‘nfusor of Economics, University of Georgia.
(IN TWO PARTS—PART ONE.)
|At the present time, tie subject of Sino-Jap
‘mnese relations suggests to our minds the struggle
“Manchuria, though the broad meaning of the
includes all the dealings and affairs between
China and Japan. The mutual political interests of
e ‘two great nations of the Far East are largely
‘based on economic conditions or situations.
”‘l‘ho present difficulties are concerned with the
peconomic importance of Manchuria. Japan is a
densely populated island kingdom, smaller in area
than our state of Texas, 'but with more people

. Manchuria is more like the United States than !
iBS any other part or China. 1t has a low eastern '
A'qta,ln range, a fertile central vq&ey, a compar-!
fvety dry western mountain section, and a desert
area farther west. Like the United States, Man.

enty-five million immigrants are almost alll

' China is a country with a much greater areal

titude than our country. China’s 470 million peo- |
,; s (over one-fourth of the world’s population)
" are more concentrated than is the area of China,
but, nevertheless, China is more of a world in
itself than an organized nation. It generally wins
“over its enemies not by defeating them in battle
‘but by absorbing them. In 1644 the nomadic
__Mwhu tribes ostensibly conquered China and es
tablished the Manchurian dynasty on the Chinese

and therefore destined to remain Chinese, regard
aat whether the military control is temporatily
n the hands of Russia or Japan.
» used to bhe an idep that Japan wanted
_;g ato take care of surplus Japanese popu
g . That was an error on two counts. In the
’; . place, surplus populations aren’t disposed of
;; that manner, and, secondly, the Japanese farm
ers didn't want to live in Manchuria. Japan has
" had a guarter of a century in which to settle Man
huria, with the result that today there are only a
sow hundred thousand Japanese in the land, and
they are mostly officials and employes of the
Japanese ratroads and industries. Manchuria is
primarily an agricultural area, but it is teo cold to
ttract the semi-tropice! Japanese farmers.

“ Japan has always regarded the Peninsula as nec

! WHEN TO BUY SECURITIES
When to buy stocks, bonds and other
!sucunt:c-', is a perplexing problem that
'can be answered in three words—*‘now or
never”, but that answer does not carry
with it any assurance of the safety of such
investments. “Now” may be the proper
time to make investments. Stocks and
bonds are lower now than has ever been
'known, at least, in recent years. This may
'be the proper time to buy, but there are
provisos that should be considered before
‘making investments, according to the
opinions of some of the best financiers and
‘banking institutions of the country.
- A questionnaire has been sent out by a
well known banking institution in the east
asking: “Is it time to buy stocks, common
stocks?” The questionnaire received many
replies from all sections of the country
from those able to make such investments
as well as from those of moderate means,
but interested in making investments in a
small way for their own betterment. The
First National Bank and Trust Company,
of New Haven, speaking ‘“‘to the average
hard-working, industrious thrifty Ameri
can citizen,” says it does ‘‘not wish to see
this type cf men and women, the back
bone of the country, caught again in such
a whirlpool as that of 1929. Continuing
its advice to prospective purchasers of
stocks, bonds and other securities, it says
on a poster sent out to izs customers:
“The time to buy common stock is:
“1. After you have accumulated a cash
reserve in savings deposits. . . -
“2. After you have protected your wife
and children with adequate life insurance
in an amount upon which you can afford
to pay the premiums without borrowing
upon the policy.
“3. After you have saved enough' for a
home; upon which you may, if you .pre
fer, leave a moderate-sized mortgage, not
too large to permit interest payments to be
easily met, e
“When that time comes, common stocks
may have a definite and legitimate place
in your investment program.- - -
“There is only one sure road to old age
free from anxiety, and that is to live now
within your income. No one ‘has ever yet
made any real progress in any other way.”
The foregoing advice is timely and, if
followed by the American people, condi
tions will improve and the value of stocks,
bonds and securities are bound to become
more stable and valuable from an earning
standpoint, :
CORNELIA BRYCE PINCHOT
Mrs. Pinchot, wife of Governor Pinchot,.
of Pennsylvania, is a candidate for Con
gress in opposition to Congressman Mc-
Fadden of that state. Mrs. Pinchot is run
ning on a platfortn for the vindication of
President Hocver from attacks macy by
Congressman McFadden. Mrs. Pinchot is
evidently using the Hoover ‘“vindication”
plank in her platform for the purpose of
popularizing her candidacy for Congress.
Two years ago, she opposed Congressman
'McFadden, but her candidacy did not de
velop seriously for McFadden. Sheé is now
‘defending President Hoover while her
husband, Governor Pinchot, is one of Hoo
'ver’s most severe critics. Itis common talk
§in Pennsylvania and in Washington that
Governor Pinchot is receptive to the sug
lgestion for his name to be placed before
'the Republican national cohvention- for
the nomination for the presidency of the
United States.
The purpose of the Pinchots is easily
read by the public. Mrs. Pinchot’s aims
are not altogether for the ‘“vindication” of
President Hoover, but more for further
ing her candidacy for Congress. Besides,
the attitude of Governor Pinchot, her hus
band, is an indication of the real interest
which prompts Mrs. Pinchot to oppose
ongressman McFadden. .
After all, there is selfishness -in the
candidacy of the wife of the governor. She
is more interested in being elected to Con
gress than she is to vindicate President
Hoover from charges preferred against
‘him hy Congressman McFadden. 5
| THE DISCOVERER OF ANESTHESIA
| While the rightful discoverer of anes
lthesia, Dr. Crawford W. Long, has been
‘established and recognized by not only
the people of the nation, but by the Con
gress of the United States, yet from time
to time items appear in some of the news
papers and magazines of the country
‘questioning or giving credit of the discov
ery of ether to others. In a recent issue
of the Literary Digest there appeared an
item, conflicting in a way, and misleading
insofar as concerns the real discoverer. In
the first sentence of the paragraph the
following statement is made: “It was first
used to prevent the patient from feeling
the pain of an operation by Dr. Thomas
Morton, dentist, of Boston, 1846% In-the
next sentence, the following reference is
made to Dr. Long: “In 1842 Long, of Jef
ferson, Ga., used ether vapor in operations,
but failed to announce results”.. - . »
Through the untiring efforts of the late
Dr. Joseph Jacchbs, former Athenian, but
of late years, a prominent druggist, of At
lanta, spent severa: years in presenting
the claims of Dr. Long as the rightful dis
coverer of anesthesia.. He carried the rec
ords proving the dates when ether was
first used and presented them before med
ical societies of the nation—then to Con
gress. He completely satisfied the critics
of Dr. Long and even Dr. Morton, before
his death stated that the credit for the
discovery of anesthesia was due to Dr.
Long. Through an act of Congress, the
statue of Dr. Long stands in Statuary Hall,
}in Washington, along with other noted
sons of the various states of the nation.
No, there is no doubt as to the identity
of the rightful discoverer on anesthesia.
That much has been proven and it has
been so recognized officially by the Con
gress of the United States—Dr. Crawford
W. Long.

is an important factor for in

a complete paved highway from

practically all of the eastern
travel will come via Athens. That
should be an incentive for the
