America the Model
N it tmstsnssn
By BRUCE CATTON
An American newspaperman who is touring Japan
this summer writes back that no other nation on
earth is making quite such an effort to copy Amer
jecan manners and customs as is Japan.
Basebail has become Japan's national game, and
every vacant lot i Tokio finds a game in progress.
Tokio is the only world capital (outside of North
America, at least) where you can gfi such pecu
liarly American delicacies as apple pie a la mode,
elaborate ice cream sundaes, and old-fashioned
pop.
The taxis and pleasure cars on Tokio's streets are
Jargely American; the streets carry electric signs
in the American style, there are typically American
movie houses and taxi-dance halls, flappers dress
in . American style, business - men sip American
cocktails before dinner, and any Tokio restaurant
can give you a T-bone steak cooked just as an
American cook would prepare n.
. This sort of thing is probably the froth on the
surface of international relationships, to be sure;
but a traveler who knew nothing of foreign affairs
would be justified inh leaping to the conclusion that
between the United States and Japan there was a
#oolid and unbreakable friendship that no threat of
trouble could ever shatter.
The sad fact, of course, is that the reverse is
true. When we lay down a new cruiser, or order a
new fleet of bombing plane, we cock one eye in
the direction of Tokio, and the same thing happens
over there.
__ln each nation there is an abundance of fear,
suspicion, and distrust of the other nation, and in
the last few years the situation seems to have be
come worse instead of better.
~ All of which leads one to suspect that the whole
business of international friendship is an illogical
and incomprehensible puzzle.
~ And et this eagerness on the part of the Japan
€ese to adopt American gadgets, American habits,
and American manners may, in the long run, prove
to be a powerful and beneficial force.
~ The differences between the two nations are not,
‘after all, fundamental things that arise from un
‘changeable traits in national characters. They come
from temporary conflicts in national aspirations.
~ If trouble can be avoided for the next decade or
80, this underlying friendship ought to yet a chance
to do its work.
At bottom, Japan wants to be friendly. Wise
‘statesmanship can make it possible for that desire
to be realized.
* If the statistics compiled by L. H. Bean, eco
nomic adviser for the AAA, tell the whole story, a
genuine and substantial recovery seems to be set
ting in for the farmer.
. Farm prices, reports Mr. Bean, have gone up
very materially. The farmer’s cash income, during
the first four months of this year, was approxi
‘mately 43 percent above the income for the same
period last year. From August, 1933, when the dis
tribution of benefit payments began, to last April,
farm cash income was 25 precent above the income
for the same period in the year before.
. To be sure, the farmer’s expenses have risen,
also—by about 12 percent. But the farmer, accord
ing to Mr. Bean, is still left with a gratifying net
increase, most of which is due to rise in prices of
produce rather than to payments made by the gov
ernment for crop reduction; and the news is ex
tremely gratifying. A healthy agriculture must be
the basis for any real restoration of prosperity.
TMhere’'s something slightly instructive in that
recent story about the blue-blooded Illinois lady
*ho got pinched in Pennsylvania for a traffic vio
lation and Who, because she didn't happen to have
the cash with her to pay her fine, had to spend two
days in jail. The lady didn’t like it at all, and she
protested that “such things are not for people of
my sort.” Her son added, in the same vein, “it's a
disgrace to Pennsylvania to jail a woman of my
n other’s standing.” Such reactions are nautral
jough, of course. Lots of jails are pretty disgrace
-1l places; lots of traffic officers lack sympathy and
‘understanding. But we are still, in theory, a dem
oeracy, and all people are supposed to be equal
Defore the law.

B ON INCREASE
By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association,
- and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine.
'?-‘f"-»ixvu» light case of infantile paralysis which has
':'jiw_ Ida Lupino, beautiful film actress, is one
‘of what apperas to be an epidemic of this vicious
‘@isease in California.
u%; hére have been previous epidemics in that state
§n 1925, 1927 and 1930. The epidemic of 1930 was the
most extensive California ever experienced. In
M t vear, 1,903 cases were reported, with 157
‘jj’reuem the disease is spreading rapidly and
“w‘k is no hope of a decrease before the coming of
- s first cold weather. It is typical of infantile
paralysis that it is a summer and fall disease.
_ln California the cold weather is not likely to
appear until late November. For that reason doc
tors are advising people not to take small children
M _California at the present time, because small
;‘ en are much more likely to catch this dis
ii«’lhan are older people.
. Infantile paralysis, like scarlet fever and diph
% ria, is spread frequently by healthy people who
‘are earriers of the disease, rather than by direct
_eontact with the sick person.
;.‘V-Ai-gew years ago it was generally suggested that
infantile paralysis might be prevented by inoculat
%:hudren with the blood of those who have re
covered from the disease. Later it was shown that
(even the blood of healthy grown-up persons has in
it eertain powers of prevention against this dis
&, perhaps because of slight attacks of the dis
“and the carrying of antisubstances of the dis
_ease in their blood.
. Not enough evidence is available, however, to
‘warramt a general recommendation for the inocula
_tion of all children who might be exposed, either
with the blood of persons who have recovered or
' with the blood of healthy grownup people.
Fw, there is still some doubt as to the, value
“of the injections of the blood of those who have re
_covered, in treating a child who has been definitely
‘diagnosed as having infantile paralysis.
- Bwery child who develops an illness with sore
‘throat, fever. headache, pains in the stomach or
‘drowsiness should_be regarded as a possible vic
tim of an infectious disease and should be kept in
‘bed until the diagnosis is definitely made.
Afi’ ute rest with as little disturbance as possi
s"“ is of the greatest value, both before the diagno
sis and after. That kind of rest should cover a long
period of time, because there sometimes are periods
of quiet between periods of severe illness in the
various stages of this disease.
_ Not all children who are infected with this con
dition are paralyzed. Those who are not paralyzed
sometimes are capable of spreading the disease
when they seem to be well, Liges e
A GREAT SOUTHERN INDUSTRY
Dr. Charles H. Herty’s discovery of man
ufacturing newsprint from pine trees wili
soon develop into one of the most impor
tant and profitable industries in the south.
Tentative steps have been taken by news
papermen and financiers to organize com
panies for the purpose of manufacturing
newspaper ’
Dr. Herty has devoted much time and
study to solving thé proper mode for man
ufacturing paper from pine. trees. He
solved the problem and the success of the
discovery is no longer in doubt.
Not only in the newspaper production of
material, but Dr. Herty has found that nu
merous other products of value can be man
tured from pine trees of value. He is now
‘experimenting in the making of nitro-cel
lulose, from which artificial silk, films and
other things of commercial value can be
produced. He has just commenced his
field of labor for the development of the
south and its many resources. Supplied
with water, power and forest, a wonderful
climate, this section of the nation is en
dowed with resourcesthat will resultin the
development of many profitable returns.
PROBLEM OF OVER-PRODUTION
The problem of over-production is one
that has puzzled the best brains of all the
continents. In America, over-production of
cotton, wheat and other grains has been
solved in a most satisfactory way, that is
in such a way so as not to cause the farm
ers a loss of their products. Ploughing up
and reducing acreage of cotton has not
only accomplished a reduction, in crops,
but it has equalized and systematized pro
duction on a basis of supply and demand.
Down in Brazil, the people have adopted
a similar system for reducing the coffee
crop of that country. The surplus was so
great that the price was not sufficient to
warrant a continuance of coffee produc
tion. In order to increase the price of cof
fee to a profitable basis for the growers,
the government ordered that 63,000,000
pounds of coffee be burned. While it may
appear that the burning of coffee in
Brazil and the burning of wheat in the
United States is wasteful, it must be re
membered that in order for the growers
to make a living, food products must be
destroyed just as manufacturers close
down their plants in order to avoid accu
mulating an over-production.
GUILTY OF TREASON
The case of Alfred L. Savage, of Fish
hill, N. Y., charged with having made
threats on the life of President Roosevelt
is being tried in New York. The threats
are alleged to have been made while the
defendant was in Florida. The man was
indicted by a Florida grand jury. The al
leged threat is contained in the following:
“Roosevelt should be taken out and hung
fota telephone pole and riddled with bul
ets”.
Such remarks should not be allowed to
pass without punishment. While the case
has been transferred from the Florida
courts to the New York courts, it is be
lieved that the people of Florida will insist
on a verdict of guilt. Several witnesses,
one a man of eighty years, have gone to
New York to testify as to the truthfulness
of the remark. The case is attracting excit
ing interest, not only in New York, but in
all sections of the nation,
Indiscreet remarks by people sometimes
result in serious complications, though they
may not be intended as literally true, they
do, however, stir up passion and ill feeling
calculated to bring on an uprising of re
sentment that may lead to eriminal action
on the part of citizens who ordinarily are
law abiding people, but their temper gains
control and their actions become of a law
less character.
CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS
The announcement that 50,000 men will
be added to the CCC in July will be re
ceived with interest on the part of the pub
lic, especially to those directly benefitted.
Recruiting will take place in twenty-two
states, mainly in the drought areas of the
west.
An authorization of $12,500,000 has
been made by President Roosevelt for this
purpose. During the past two years, the
CCC has meant much for the relief of the
unemployed and for the support of mil
lions of families, who otherwise would
have suffered for the necessities of life.
These young men are paid at the rate of
thirty dollars the month with twenty-five
dollars pay allocated to the families of the
young men. This amount, twenty-five dol
lars each month, has been the whole sub
sistence for many of the families and de
pendents of the CCE boys.
- This recovery measure has been one of
great value to the people of this country.
It has enabled them to carry on at a time
when it was impossible for any member of
the family to secure employment. Now
that these camps are to be continued and
increased, many deserving young men will
have an opportunity of earning a liveli
hood, not only for themselves, but for de
pendent members of their families.
WILL ROGERS FOR GOVERNOR
Out in California the people are talking
Will Rogers, noted comedian and enter
tainer deluxe, for the office of govermor.
Will Rogers is a philosopher and a man of
rare and rescurceful ability. He is not only
an entertainer of merit, but he is a genius,
possessed with many loveable traits of
character and an intellect of unusual force
and discrimination. He is not the kind to
play politics, but he is open and above
board in all of his acts and never fails to
let the people know just where he stands,
even presidents and other dignitaries, come
under the same. classification with Mr.
Rogers.
The people of California could do a
whole lot worse, and few citizens that they
might elect would be an improvement on
the movie star, entertainer and one of the
most interesting comedians of the present
garand time .-~ o o

DID IT EVER
OCCURTOYOU - -
A Little of Everything,
Not Much of Anything
Well, the eligible list has
been completed for the post
mastership of Athens, but
which one of the three will be
appointed is speculation.
So far as we know, do definite
decision has been made, but we
are willing to wager a carton of
Piedmont cigarettes on the suc
cessful candidate, win or loose.
‘Now, that is a fair propeosition for
a gambling man. Who will take
the bet?. We bet one of the appli
cants that they would make the
grade, and they did, and we won
the Piedmonts. However, all kinds
of rumors are afloat as to how the
appointment will be made, but
that does not concern us as that
part of It is In the hands of & man
who always does theé right thing
at the right time.
When this postmastership is
settled, we will have to fall
back on Bill Beacham to help
us get up this column every
day. He is an encyclopedia on
things of interest.
We do not always agree on all
things, but we never fall out or
back-bite each other. We take
things as they come and if they
come together, good and well, but
if they come split up, then we are
split up, but not separated. Bill
is one who can differ with his
fellow man - without falling out
with him and carrying a chip on
his shoulders. Such temperament
and disposition should be prized
and appreciated, and it is by all
who believe in fairplay and the
right to one's own opinions. Bill
Beacham is not a politiclan, but
he is a mighty good worker when
he is for a candidate.
“Husband: “|s this vegeta
ble all we are going to have
for dinner toright?”
Mrs. Youngbride: “Yes, dear.
You see, when the chops caught
fire and fell into the pudding, 1
had to use the soup to put it out.”
The Chamber of Commerce
committee that appeared before
the members of the highway
board in Atlanta last week is
very much encouraged over the
prospects of securing the pav
ing projects asked for.
It is practically certain that
Lumpkin street will -be widened
and paved and that Baldwin street
will be paved from Lumpkin to
Oconee street. The widening and
paving of Lumpkin street is of
all importance in that it com
pletes a hook up of national high
ways from the east to Florida. Tt
is understood that thd members
of the highway board were very
encuraging to the committee, and
it is believed that bhoth projects
will be included in an early letting
of contracts.
Well, the Glorious Fourth of
July will soon be here and
fireworks will be in order for
the preper celebration of In
dependence Day. Powder, not
political,
~ The Fourth of July is the proper
occasion for fireworks and not on
Christmas day. With many peo
ple, the old custom of discharg
ing fireworks on Christmas day is
kept up, but it is fast passing out
of existence and during Christmas
times of recent years, the practice
has been practically abnadoneq.
And, it should be abandoned by all
means. Christmas day should be
held sacred and not a day of
desecration and other celebrations
of hilarious character. This vear
it appears that it will be a po
litical celebration which may bring
