English Land Held
by Lincoln Family
Antiquarian research has unearthed
an interesting reminder of what Is
believed to be a link in the early his
tory in England of Abraham Lin
coln’s family.
A record collated by J. E. Ansell of
the Society of Genealogists shows
that one Abraham Lincoln was a
holder of land in Norfolk in ths
early part of the Eighteenth cen
tury. This record as published in the
Times tells how in 1726 Abraham Lin
coln and Sara, his wife, were joint
venders with Isaac Lincoln and Ed
ward Rush and Lydia, his wife, of
nine acres of land in the parishes of
Garboldisham and Aldeby, Norfolk,
to one Sir Edmund Bacon —Ex-

The Voice of Edison
The Filipinos
America, in Japan
Mrs. Snipes' Baby
Doctor Hutchison has heard the
voice of Thomas A. Edison, speaking
from "the beyond" through a medium.
Doctor Hutchison, who was Mr. Edi
son’s engineer for ten years, says Mr.
Edison sent this message: "Well.
Hutch, 1 have had to revise my ideas
about life after death. 1 am on the
other side of the river, but J don't
know where I am going from here.’’
Doctor Hutchison recognized Edi
son’s voice absolutely, so, we may not
doubt that the medium found him on
the other side of that river.
But those that knew Edison for
many years would have expected some
thing more exiting and enlightening.
Not one word about his trip through
the ether, colder than 400 degrees be
low.
The senate joins the house in over
ruling President Hoover's veto and
our friends in the Philippines will de
cide about separating from their Uncle
Sam, with certain restrictions and
privileges attached to the separation.
The Filipinos will vote, and if they
do not approve of the bill passed by
congress, their veto will be more ef
fective than that of the President.
It will stand and there will be no im
mediate change.
In Yokohama the Singer Sewing Ma
chine company plant, owned in the
United States, temporarily managed
by a Canadian and with an English
man as permanent manager, is raided
by dissatisfied Japanese workers, all
property in reach destroyed.
The American ambassador says the
police didn’t interfere with the Jap
anese raiders.
What interests Americans is the fact
that a Canadian is sent to arrange
labor troubles in Japan for an Amer
ican concern In Yokohama, with an
Englishman as permanent manager, for
American owners.
Perhaps, and probably, that is done
because Britain has the reputation of
looking after ber people in foreign
lands.
A daughter is born to Mrs. Snipes,
sentenced to death for murder before
the child's arrival.
Thanks to the governor of South
Carolina, the woman will not be
hanged, and, thanks to public senti
ment, she was taken from the prison
to a hospital that her child might
not bear "the stigma of birth in
prison.”
Some say the child of a murderess
can’t possibly amount to anything. But
it does not follow,
Olympias, daughter of King Neo
ptolemus, was a Mrs. Snipes on a big
scale. There is little doubt that she
murdered her husband, Philip of Mac
edonia, to punish him for taking a
second, younger wife.
She was responsible for many other
murders, and when her time came she
was executed, in .'ll6 B. C. But never
theless and notwithstanding, she wax
the mother of Alexander the Great.
You know that Japanese and Chi
nese have been fighting in Manchuria
with temperature at 40 degrees below
zero. You read of a group of Chinese
soldiers, 380 of them, found huddled
together, trying to keep each other
warm, frozen to death, where Jap
anese soldiers had trapped them on a
mountain top in southeastern Man
churia.
War is not pleasant.
By a vote of one the senate decided
not to adopt the "cloture” which would
put a stop to filibustering and enable
the senate to proceed with business.
Intelligent senators know that filibus
tering just now is unwise, and that
the members of the “most pleasant
club in the world” run the risk of hav
ing their house ruling made over for
them by the common people. Those
people are getting tired of congres
sional talk that means nothing.
Os northern states, New Jersey

This seems to offer an opportunity

WHAT’S GOING ON
S IN WASHINGTON
Japanese Situation a Puzzle;
Arms Export Treaty; to Re
vamp Bankruptcy Laws.
By WILLIAM BRUCKART
Washington.—To a greater or less
extent, one hears everywhere in the
National Capital these days the ques
tion: “What about Japan?” And ev
ery attempt to answer Is stalled be
; cause none can say what can be done
j about Japan.
While Japan has edged further into
the long-time Chinese territory of
I Jehol, the world powers have stood
by with poker faces and have given
only such support as they have been
forced to give to what eventually will
come to be known as the "Stimson
doctrine.” One hears a great deal of
criticism of the impotency of the Unit
ed States in the Japanese situation,
but this must be allowed for the
United States: It attempted to do
something worthwhile, and historians
i and students of foreign affairs in and
I out of die government appear to agree
j that the failure of the effort cannot
be laid at the door of our nation.
No one seems to know what the ul
timate object of Japan is; no one has
been able to divine the purpose of the
steady, driving force that Japan has
exerted through almost two years, but
everyone recognizes the dangers in the
situation. Some see one set of possi
-1 bilities, while others insist that anoth
; er series of potentialities are more
grave.
j A review of the circumstances shows
tlmt Japan has set her face directly on
n program of obtaining more territory
into which her crowded millions can
pour from the narrow confines of her
Island empire. The same review re
veals that the civil structure of the
Japanese government has had little
or nothing to say about the policy
upon which her armies have launched.
Further, the entire course of events
has disclosed probably the greatest ar
rogance of any nation of modern times
In respect of the appeals and veiled
threats of other nations.
There are rich resources in Jehol
and the territory beyond the Great
Wall of China, resources sorely need
■ ed by Japan.
• • •
But Japan Goes Ahead.
The Stimson doctrine, enunciated
more than a year ago, said in effect to
Japan: "It will do you no good to
! go ahead, for we will not recognize
any of the territory you gain in this
way.” To quote the words of that dip
; lomatlc communication which surely
I seems to be destined to stand out in
history: “The United States refuses
to recognize any situation, treaty or
arrangement brought about by means
contrary to the Kellogg Briand treaty,”
which outlawed war.
But that has had no effect. The
\ Japanese civil structure acted like it
■ agreed, but the military did not. The
mutter got into the League of Nations
i because the United States virtually
forced tiie league to consider it, and
the league made something of the
! same formal statement to Japan. Yet.
I Japan, In September of last year, went
■ right ahead and recognized Man
i chukuo. Thus, the Japanese displayed
their conviction: they believe they
' have no reason to fear the conse
quences of their acts because, as said
I at the beginning, what can be done
, about it?
• * •
This Japanese situation Is a lot
i closer to us than the several thousands
: of miles between the nations would in
, dicate. Congress has been milling
! around over granting freedom to the
Philippine islands. Both major polit
| leal parties are committed to It, and it
, will happen sooner or later. That is.
j the Filipinos will be given the right to
j govern themselves barring that which
now seems unlikely, an overt act to-
I wards the United States by the Jap
anese.
। Senator Borah, of Idaho, chairman
’ of the senate committee on foreign re-
J lations, entertains no fears of the Jap
anese insofar as the Philippine islands
are concerned. He sees the Japanese
as "headed the other way,” That is,
he believes their ambitions lie in the
direction of far-reaching domain on
the mainland of Asia, perhaps as a
। counter power against the great Rus
sian bear.
Senator Vandenberg, of Michigan,
another member of the same commit
j tee, says he can vision a whole bushel
; basket filled with possibilities. He
told me that freedom of the Philippines
I without the strictest sort of protection
j and arrangements for prevention of
; trouble would lead directly to trouble
| with Japan.
I So it Is to be seen that the policy
| of the United States with respect to
the Japanese Invasion of China has
more Importance than just n» it bears
on seizure of Chinese territory.
♦ * •
Arms Export Treaty.
Relations between governments al
■ ways are matters of delicacy. It Is
difficult sometimes, therefore, to gain
; naked facts. Weathervanes may be
I observed, however, and one of them
1 is the recent proposal by President
Hoover to the senate that it hurry up
j a bit in ratifying the international
I treaty forbidding export of arms and
I munitions of war to nations where
there are situations of hostility breed
ing, or where there Is actual war. He
proposed, as an alternative, that if the
senate did not see its way clear to
act on the treaty, is should enact legis-
lation giving the President broad pow
ers to lay an embargo on arms exports
from the United States, under the con
ditions set out in the treaty.
Mr, Hoover's message reached the
senate one day, and on the next day,
Senator Borah called his committee
together to consider that message. It
acted with unirrecedented haste. It
did the somewhat unusual thing of
drafting a resolution right there in
the meeting, agreeing to it formally
and voting to submit it to the senate
at once. It is in the form of a joint
resolution w’hlch means, of course,
that after the senate has acted, it still
must he given the approval of the
house of representatives.
It must ’le remembered, however,
that acts of congress are of general
application always, and that if the
arms embargo authority be delegated
to the President, he could employ it
to defeat shipments of arms to the
Far East as well as to rebellious ele
ments in Latin-America.
* * •
Te Revamp Bankruptcy Laws.
Under conditions such as obtain
throughout the nation, it is quite logi
cal that government, both state and
national should be searching for ways
and means to make the pathway easier
for those having financial troubles.
That takes in about 95 per cent of
the population. So it was to be ex
pected that President Hoover should
urge upon congress again, as be did
a year or more ago. the necessity for
revamping the bankruptcy laws, al
though they have served with consid
erable satisfaction more than a third
of a century.
Mr. Hoover's message spurred new
efforts on the part of two congression
al groups—one from the senate, the
other from the house—to work out
some sort of legislation that would
serve the desired ends. They have a
rocky road to travel, it must be said
at the outset. What they face is the
problem of making things easier for
the fellow who is being ground under
the iron heel of the rights of another.
America's business structure lias
been built on the sacred rights of Indi
viduals to deal freely and to have
those rights preserved. In other
words, without the right to contract
and to have that contract enforced
in courts of law, it is recognized busi
ness would not get far. But it is sig
nificant of the trend of the times that
such subjects are under consideration.
The thing at which the legislators
are looking with longing eyes Is a
method of preventing so many indi
viduals and corporations from having
the legal stigma of bankruptcy at
tached to them. It is recognized ev
erywhere that an entry "Adjudged
Bankrupt" written into court records
amounts to an economic death sen
tence, so the search is going to see
whether it is possible to arrange a
new order in this direction.
While the determination is to ar
range for a reduction in the number
of bankruptcy decrees, there is a pur
pose that is of more importance to the
average citizen in what the two
groups are doing. Basically, what they
want and what everyone else wants is
to see an opportunity provided for the
debtor to "pay out.” It is of more
benefit to the debtor, to his creditors,
and to the whole structure of society
In the community where he does busi
ness if the debtor can be restored as
n “going concern” and repay or re
build the investment represented.
The question of revising the bank
ruptcy laws was given attention in the
1931-32 session of the senate, and the
Department of Justice, by direction of
President Hoover, made a thorough
examination of court records and con
ditions disclosed by them with a view
to shedding light on a course which
might lie developed into a policy. On
top of this, Representative McKeown
(Dorn.), of Oklahoma, Introduced a
bill in the house at the beginning of
the current session in December,
which, in effect, seeks to rewrite farm
mortgages. So that it is seen the pro
posal to do something about debtors’
inability to meet their obligations is
not just a fly-by-night thought.
Give Them a Chance.
Senator Hastings (Rep.), of Dela
ware, who is chairman of the two sub
committees that have been working
jointly on the problem, believes that
genuine possibilities exist for estab
lishing a new order in the matter of
dealing with men. and with corpora
tions. whose debts have sunk, or are
about to sink, them. He points out
that literally thousands of formerly
sound corporations and many times
that number of Individuals have been
driven to the wall by conditions of the
last three years through no fault of
their own. Obviously, bad judgment
has played a part, but the fact re
mains that honest, hard-working per
sons who want to pay their debts
should have that chance. And that is
the purpose underlying die congres
sional effort.
From the current perspective, none
of the legislators see away by which
they can accomplish the desire whol
)y to avoid bankruptcy proceedings
being forced by creditors where such
creditors hold written obligations to
pay. Everyone is a creditor who holds
the promise of some one else to pay,
whether the promise be written or just
in the form of an understanding be
tween honest men. The individual
who has the written promise, however,
has something more, for (he Constitu
tlon says that a written contract can
not be disturbed by congress. Thus,
the real problem Is seen to be wheth
er those “secured creditors” can be
supplied with an inducement through
changes in the law that will make
them willing to agree to a compromise,
called a “composition” in bankruptcy,
and thereby open the way for pro
ceedings of a new kind.

Most package medicines were origi

the old family physician. Being pre

rapidly that the old doctor found
himself unable, with his limited

the need. Often he, sometimes as
